Ya, I think I left enough characters out that my "ranking every 'mostly white + usually a cool color + maybe gold'" post warrants a part 2 (if enough valks of this design genre get released to warrant a part 3 though, I'm just gonna cry). Usual disclaimer that while I'm trying to be objective as possible about this, art is a very subjective medium and I am not immune to bias. Anyways-
S tier (wouldn’t change a thing)-
Tumblr media
still not entirely sure if she belongs on this list because the black and white elements are pretty well balanced, but eh- we're here now
Forget just this genre for a sec though- Aponia has one of my favorite designs in the game
It's the skirt, it's entirely the skirt
I'm glad they kept the outfit mostly black and white (other than the bits of jewelry used to keep the outfit cohesive) because I think too much color would've just distracted from the skirt
I also appreciate they made the white fabric different textures. It really helps to separate the veil from everything else
The usage of vines and flowers to break the symmetry of the design is a fun nod to Aponia's failed attempts to control the world around her
A rank (minor changes needed)
Tumblr media
I just want that front white shirt piece thing have a "light blue to white" gradient on it to better separate it from her legs
Otherwise, this design is a friend
Nice use of texture, I really like how the sleeves look like fabric dipped in ink where the ink is just gradually creeping up
I also just think it's funny that she's the jade knight, but her color palette is mostly blue, where as Azure Empyrea's color palette is mostly green
The red accents are also nice
Tumblr media
I think from a more objective standpoint, this design would be in B or C tier, but it's my list and I like the design, so it's going in A tier
I'm also not sure if there's really enough white to warrant her being here
The bikini top and mini tutu are goofy (I think I'd personally just make the top a turtleneck crop top with a book window cut out, and the tutu into shorts and a fanny pack), but I kinda like them
There's just a lot of nice color variation in this one
D tier (for disappointments)
Tumblr media
Getting this disclaimer out of the way: I am aware of the racist elements of this design. I am not SWANA though, so I don't really feel it's my place to go in depth on it (I'd be happy to link or reblog other people's arguments though)
Congratulations to mihoyo for making me sick of the color purple. I literally didn't know that was possible
I know she had a purple Hoody that one Manga, but I really with they went with a blue/green, orange, and gold pallet instead
The dance motife feels kinda out of nowhere? Idk if she has a love of dance in one of the Mangas, but it was never really mentioned in game before now
Also having Rita (the British lady) be the one to teach her a Persian inspired dance was... a choice
I could see a redesign going a couple different ways
One being really committing to the whole "it looks like a regular outfit" think, focusing on the changing roles of valkyries and moving more towards the aesthetics of APHO
Maybe have her story take place in her home country, thus why she could be wearing more traditional clothes (and have a grandma or someone like that teach her the dance)
My other idea would be keep the story the same, but change her design to be more of a throw back to early valks, leaning more into the mech suit idea
I wish we got the bear hood
F rank (I have very few productive things to say because these invoke my inner Ragina George)
Tumblr media
F, for "that was the ugliest f'ing skirt I've ever seen"
Ya, I know I'm breaking my "only out valks" rule, but fuck this design
There's so little tonal variation
Between the hair and shoulder puffs, this design just ends up looking incredibly top heavy
Mihoyo, keep her pants on
Just like Hares writing, this design is uninspired and directionless
I keep seeing people compare her to Shenhe and Eula and I'm gonna need yall to stop slandering my queens like that
Comments from the homies:
"Shorty look like an ice cube gum box"
"Why does she have nipple ribbons"
Tumblr media
Froot loops abyss herald looking ass
Every day, I wonder if the trend towards monster design similarities in both games is an intentional way of hinting at further down the line multiverse plotlines (not explaining why it could be this here), or just a marketing decision
TLDR: these types of designs can work so long as they go bold on the colors

FatGum (Taishiro Toyomitsu) X Chubby! Confectioner/Baker! Reader: Sweets and Treats~
(Description: Woo, I’m so excited for my first story on this account! This inspiration came to me after thinking about our one and only, favorite chubby pro hero and me wanting to see some puppy love for you two. Also, the title says Confectioner/Baker, I want to clarify that Reader isn’t truly a baker but I feel like “Confectioner” wouldn’t reach as large of a crowd as “Baker” would, not a big deal but just FYI. I hope my first fic is enjoyed by those who choose to read, thank you for the support.)

“Morning, Tammy! Lovely day, isn’t it?” you greeted your employee with a bright smile as she stumbled through the door into your bakery.
She huffed, still rubbing the sleep from her eyes, “Sure, but I’ve hardly been up long enough to notice it. How are you always so peppy this early?” She pointed to the mechanical clock ticking from the left wall that read ‘4:04 AM’. You glanced outside and saw hardly anyone walking through the streets, except the occasional drunkard or lonely soul.
You bashfully shrugged your shoulders, “Well, after years of suffering waking up at three in the morning, you kinda get used to the torment! But, hey, so happy we got the shop far away from the center of the city, you can actually see the sunrise from here!” you tried to help her look on the bright side as you handed her one a cup of one of your homemade coffee brews. She took a sip of the drink and let out a content sigh through her nose, a small, but thankful smile on her face.
“You know, for being a confectioner, you make some pretty solid coffee. What is that?” her eyebrows furrowed as she asked, taking another swig to figure out the secret intense flavor.
You giggled, “That’s probably the nutmeg I added. Is it good?”
“More like fantastic, (Y/N). Trying out new recipes again?” she asked over her shoulder, hanging up her light jacket that protected her from the early morning breeze while grabbing her apron. Though, it being July in Japan, she probably wouldn’t need it again for a while.
“Yeah, I think this one will really please the early risers. It gives a special sort of kick to the taste, don’t you think?” you asked while gently sliding open the glass case that held all of the beautifully decorated pastries, grabbing a pair of tongs and a small floral ceramic plate, carefully placing a fresh Apple Strudel onto the plate, and setting it down on the counter.
“Totally. Hey, can I have a--,” Tammy stopped mid-sentence as she turned around to see the delectable treat already waiting for her.
“Your breakfast awaits, m’lady~,” you slurred out in a fake British accent with a cheesy smirk and a dramatic bow.
She scoffed, “You dork. Am I really that predictable?” she asked, scarfing down the pastry in a matter of seconds as she leaned on the counter.
“Yeah, you kinda are,” you joked as she playfully shoved your plush side.
“You know,” she continued, looking down at the gooey food, “It’s a shame you aren’t more popular with the people. You have a great location, an amazing personality and work staff, if I do say so myself, and don’t even get me started on the incredible stuff you make,” she praised.
“Oh, stop it, Tammy. You’re gonna make me blush,” you flushed from her sincere words, “Besides, I’ve only been open for two weeks, it’s going to be slow for awhile. It’ll ramp up eventually.”
“Yeah, I guess, but you can’t deny that your baked goods are better than most of the others in the country! One day, when people get their heads out of their asses, these little gifts of magic are going to make you RICH!” she threw her lanky airs up into the air and around your shoulders. She spun your smaller frame in a circle while the two of you laughed.
“Ha! Yeah yeah, I know! Now, stop your messing around and come help me fill the rest of these Cream Horns.” you concluded while you pat her taller shoulder. She groaned at the request but gave you a tiny nod. Tammy turned around while tying her short, brown hair into a messy bun, readying herself for the busy day ahead. You smiled while she retreated to the kitchen but before you went to follow her you decided to look out the window again.
Shuffling your legs over to the windows, you got a clear view of the rising sun and all its glory, the hints of yellow, orange, pink, red, and even blue from the night's previous dark veil still clung onto the brightening sky. Somehow you had this weird feeling that today something life changing was going to happen. You didn’t know if you should be excited or worried, but you decided to push those thoughts aside and continue on to the back of the shop where you could already hear the clutter and clang of falling pans, no doubt Tammy’s handy work.
Oh, if you only knew how right your hunch was…
~
~ Timeskip to a little later in the day and a P.O.V change to FatGum ~
~
“How much longer do I have for patrol?” I asked myself, pulling out my phone to check the time. The time read ‘9:12 AM’ and I huffed, still a couple more hours to go. Putting the device back in my pocket with a grimace but quickly faked a smile as I continued down the bustling street. The active community, excited civilians, and eager children usually never fails to put a smile on my face, but today everything just felt like a drag. I was sluggish, unfocused, and I couldn’t understand why. I shook my head, get your head in the game, Taishiro. You don’t have time to let your mind wander on duty.
After what seemed like hours, but was more than likely only 15 minutes, I felt my stomach let out a rumbling growl which made me groan. I stopped walking on the sidewalk and took a second to consider the situation, wandering the city for a couple of hours with nothing too exciting to do really works up an appetite, and I do need to keep up my strength. I’m a hero after all, and denying myself is like ignoring my civic duty to protecting the people! At this point, I’ll take any excuse to get out of this pointless shambling. But the REAL question is, what to get? I glanced around the street and noticed a few shops further down the block that looked to be food related. I smirked, perfect.
I wove through the few people occupying the area, past a few excited teenagers who asked for autographs, and eventually made it to the shops. Looking around I saw some insurance shops, an enticing Pad Thai sit down, and few others, but the one that caught my eye was a cutesy, (F/C)-painted bakery named, “Queen of Tarts”. Chuckling at the interesting name choice, I looked inside the establishment through the plexiglass windows.
The inside carried a light, fluffy atmosphere, pastel colored walls combining with the checkered tile floor caused a small smile out of me. A few small tables with delicate iron chairs here and there, but the real prize were the copious amounts of sweets that were displayed in the glass cases. Each were different colors, sizes, but they all looked delicious. Feeling my stomach grumble, I grabbed the door handle, flung it open, and walked into the scrumptious smelling shop. After walking in, the tiny jingle of bells alerting the workers of my presence, I finally saw the most stunning sweet of all.
“Hi, welcome to the Queen of Tarts, how may I help you today?” the gorgeous woman at the counter asked but it didn’t register in my brain because I was already lost in thought. Her adorable (H/C) hair framed her face to show her soft, chubby cheeks, her eyes glistened in the sunlight, and her smile, oh, it completely lit the room with its radiance. Curves in all the right places, I felt my cheeks heat up as I let out a nervous laugh, cursing my inner self for not holding it together. Seriously, I can face the nastiest of villains but throw one pretty lady in front of me and I fall apart? Fantastic. Realizing I wasn’t answering, I quickly stepped forward and cleared my throat.
“Uh, yeah. Hi,” ‘Wow, so smooth, Taishiro,’ I criticized in my head, “I...haven’t seen this store here before, you new?” I offered a smile, which she returned tenfold, making me even more flustered.
“Yes, actually! I set up shop here only a few weeks ago, finally settling in with the hustle and bustle of city life.” she finished, leaning in closer against the marble counter with her arms crossed.
“City life? You didn’t grow up here?” I asked.
“Yeah,” she shrugged, “Grew up on more of the countryside style of life. I love the city though, do you?”
“Yeah, you gotta get used to it when you spend all your time protecting it.” I let a hint of boasting attitude out, hoping she’d realize who I am.
“Ha, I hear ya! I do my own share of ‘protecting’ around here too. Well, if you count making goodies, that is.” she giggled, standing up and walking over to the glass containers. I deflated a little, guess that wasn’t going to work this time. I shuffled over to where she was standing and looked down at the treats they offered.
“So, kind stranger, what is it you’ll be having?” she asked after a minute of me inspecting the pastries. The problem with not being picky about what you eat, means there are tons of more options than that of others, and when all the items look equally as delectable, you get a little overwhelmed. Plus, the fact that a beautiful woman whom I would very much like to not embarrass myself in front of is waiting for my answer doesn’t help.
I gulped, “I don’t know, they all look amazing. What’s your favorite?” I asked, hoping to know a little more about her.
“Oh, gosh, let me think…” she pouted, resting her head on the palm of her hand while looking deep in thought at the treats. The adorable crease of her eyebrows scrunched together, the tip of her tongue poking out in concentration, her lovely, curvalicious body...that’s it, I’m so screwed.
“I think I’d go for the Chocolate Cream Puff,” her answer drawing both me and her out of our distracted states, “My dad taught me years ago this amazing chocolate ganache recipe and I drizzle that all over the tops of homemade pastry puffs and the whipped filling, ugh! It’s to die for, seriously!” she finished, a sparkle in her (E/C) eyes that fueled the fire in my gut. She spoke about food just as passionately as I did! She’s perfect.
Without thinking, I quickly said, “I’ll take ten.”
~
~ (Y/N) P.O.V ~
~
“Alright, there you go, 10 Chocolate Cream Puffs. Have a wonderful day, sir!” I said with a bright smile.
“Please, call me Taishiro. And you are..?” he asked.
I flushed, I’m such a klutz, “(Y/N), pleasure to meet you, Taishiro. I hope you enjoy them and come back to visit m...us! Come visit us again!” I hastily fixed my wording.
As he smiled and waved goodbye, I rolled the tension out of my shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief. It’s okay, he was nice...and cute...and...really handsome. Wow, I am I sweating?
“HOLY CRAP!” I jumped as I heard Tammy squeal out behind me, I spun around to look at her standing in the doorway to the back, watching the leaving guest with an awestruck face.
“What?! Where’s the fire?!” I shouted running up to her, grabbing the edge of my apron.
“(Y/N), look at me,” she grabbed my shoulders and forced me to stare into her hazel eyes, “Do you know who that was?”
I shrugged my shoulders as best as I could under her vice grip, “A customer, right?”
“A custom--ugh, curse you for not keeping up with the media,” she yelled while flinging her arms to the sky in exasperation before shoving them back on my shoulders, “(Y/N), that wasn’t just any old customer! That was the FatGum!”
I blinked, “Uh, who?”
“Aarrghh! The rank 58 Pro Hero in Japan! What did you say to him?!” I paled as her words sunk in. My legs felt like jelly and I wanted to lie on the floor and die of embarrassment as she raved on about my ignorance.
‘Oh, so I’ve fallen for a Pro Hero. Awesome.’
~
~ Timeskip to a few weeks later, same P.O.V ~
~
Who knew meeting a Pro Hero and potentially having a crush on him could be so amazing? After Taishiro, who is apparently a hero named FatGum, left the store, he personally posted on his main platform of media about the shop and how incredible the desserts were! Of course, to get a compliment from a hero who's Quirk is literally based around food, who’s eaten hundreds of thousands of different dishes, for him to specifically point out your’s brought the media swarming. Business went from nearly dead to tons of people coming in at all open hours! It was fantastic, and the handsome gentleman kept his promise of continually coming in and buying heaps of pastries.
You sighed, leaning against the marble counter after helping a few beautiful ladies buy some tarts, watching their desirable, attractive forms leave the shop and walk past the window. Looking around the busy lounge area, all of the customers were stunning, unique, and most of all thin. You glanced down at yourself, insecurities filling your mind about your appearance and unsurprisingly flickering back to the man plaguing your thoughts. You poked the chub, would he? No. He probably already has someone and even if he didn’t, why would he go for you? You’re a no one to him, someone who just sells him baked goods to fuel his Quirk, nothing more.
“Hey, boss man, what’s up?” Asher, a friend and employee of yours, asked while spinning you away from the counter to face him, drawing Tammy’s attention from her place on the stool behind the counter.
“Oh, it’s nothing, Asher. Just distracted is all, I’m fine!” you sighed and faked a smile.
Asher pulled a skeptical look and without looking at Tammy he said, “She’s thinking about him again, isn’t she?”
Tammy, like it was her sixth sense to pick up on gossip, flung herself to Asher’s side with the same skeptical look, “Yep, it’s so obvious.”
“I-It is?!” you yelped, pulling your hands up to your cheeks to hide your growing blush.
“What are we gonna do about them, Tam?” he asked, still not looking at her but instead grabbing your chin and tiling your head from side to side to inspect you.
 “I don’t know what else to do, Ash. He so likes her back but both are too scared to make the first move. Truly a dilemma.” she said, twirling a lock of your (H/C) hair.
“Wait, he does?! How do you know?” you pleaded but they weren’t paying any attention to you anymore, making you puff out your pudgy cheeks in frustration. Opting to ignore them, you listened to the aimless chatter of the seating area. The ambiance of the confectionery made you smile because it was exactly how you’d pictured it as a little girl, the sweet smells, the laughter, it finally felt like home after all these years in the making. All your hard work was paying off in the end. Suddenly, the ringing bells of the door opening drew your attention. Glancing back, you caught a glimpse of a familiar yellow and orange clad figure whose head almost touched the ceiling. You gasped and shoved your friends off of you and to the backroom, spun around, and greeted your favorite customer with a bashful smile.
“Taishiro! How lovely to see you again,” but you quickly noticed it wasn’t just him. Two teenage boys, one with striking red hair and a warm smile and the other trembling and hiding inside of his cloak’s hood, were by FatGum’s side, which made you ask, “And who is this with you?”
“(Y/N), this is Eijirou Kirishima and Tamaki Amajiki, they are training under me for hero internships. I wanted to bring them here so they could try your wicked sweets!” he finished, making you blush even harder.
“Aw, that’s so sweet of you, FatGum! It’s a pleasure to meet you, boys.” you finished, holding out your hand for them to shake.
The red-headed boy, Kirishima, shook your hand with a gentle, but strong grip, “Same here! I’ve heard all about this place because of the news, sorry I couldn’t come sooner!”
“Oh, that’s alright, and it’s wonderful to meet you, Tamaki.” you held out your hand, but all you got from him was a curt nod as he shrunk further into his suit.
“You’ll have to forgive, Amajiki, he’s sort of shy.” Taishiro chuckled, rubbing his hand behind his head.
You pulled your hand back with an understanding smile, “No problem, I totally get social anxiety. Happens to the best of us, I’m afraid.”
“No way,” you suddenly heard Tammy mumble behind you, no doubt to Asher, “He brought his kids to see her. Did not expect that. I respect the flex.”
“Isn’t that a little far for first base material?” Asher whispered back to her. You proceeded to shoot them a terrifying glare and subtly kick both of them in the shins, a symbol for them to scram. They gulped and hobbled off to the back to avoid your wrath while you huffed and whipped your hair out of your face with a smile.
“Anyways, since the three of you are here, what would you boys like? It’s on the house!” you confidently boasted.
Taishiro gasped, “(Y/N), no. I can’t do that to you, we’ll pay.”
“Ah, ah, ah, Taishiro. You are by far the most paying of customers and since you’re my favorite of all I want to give this to you. Call it, uh, thank you present for all the publicity you’ve given my store! I couldn’t have made it this far without you.” you grinned.
He sighed and, though it could have been your imagination, blushed a little, “At least let me pay for my portion. I get considerably more than them.”
“Nope, it’s already been decided! Kirishima, what would you like?” you changed the topic before Taishiro could argue with you again. He rolled his eyes, clear girl.
“Hmm,” Kirishima thought, “Do you have anything with strawberries?”
“I got just the thing for you. How about a Strawberry Turnover?” you directed him over to the case with the pastry. He took one glance and excitedly nodded his head and you smiled, grabbed the sweet with a clean pair of tongs, placed it on a napkin, and handed it over to the young man. He grinned and shoveled the pastry into his mouth without hesitation. 
“Thanks so much, Miss (Y/N)! It’s delicious!” he praised through a mouth full of food, making you giggle at his silliness. Walking back over to the registrar, you saw Tamaki looking at you. When he was caught, he gasped, quickly spun around, and hid himself away from you by pressing into FatGum’s body.
“What would you like, Tamaki?” you patiently asked. Taishiro looked at you with doubt and started saying something but you quickly shushed him and continued to wait for the teen’s answer.
Knowing that you weren’t going to give up, Tamaki quietly mumbled out, “D-D-Do you...have anything with...b-black raspberry? I-If you don’t that’s fine too, I-I didn’t mean to sound too rude or--”
“I believe I do,” you quickly interrupted so he didn’t go into a spiraling haze of self doubt, “Would a Black Raspberry Lychee Cake suffice, Tamaki?”
“Y-Yes, Miss (Y/N)...” he sighed in relief, glancing at you with tears in his eyes. You gave him a reassuring smile and grabbed the treat for him, handing it to FatGum so he could hold on to it for Tamaki.
“And now, what’ll you have, kind stranger?” you grinned as he chuckled.
“I’ll take my usual then, 10 Chocolate Cream Puffs, please.” he concluded while giving a sweet grin.
You snarked, “You always get the same thing every time, Taishiro. Don’t you wanna try anything else? I promise they’re poisoned.” you smirked.
He quirked an eyebrow at you, “Are you sure about that?” he joked.
“Taishiro! What kind of business would I be if I poisoned all my guests?” you laughed at him.
“Okay, okay, I’ll try something different, ma’am. Do you have anything with pineapple?” he asked with curiosity.
“You betcha. How does a Pineapple Poke Cake sound, sir?” you interrogated. You saw stars glisten in his eyes and you giggled at his excitement.
“How many?” you joked.
“I’ll take 12!” he concluded, blissfully staring off into space.
You packaged up his request in a cutesy (F/C) box with your confectionery’s logo and, biting your lip in apprehension, decided that if he wasn’t going to make his move then you would. You quickly wrote down your phone number on top of the box in Sharpie and signed off your name with a small black heart. As you finished the lettering you stared at the box and thought about your previous insecurities. There was still time, still time to take out the pastries, put them in a new box, and forget the whole number thing ever happened.
“Hey, don’t you dare take out those treats and put them in a new box, you hear me, girl?!” you heard a tiny male voice whisper above you. Startled, you looked up to see Tammy and Asher peeking through the window that let the customers see into the back of the bakery to watch the baking happen. You glared at the two, so they had been watching you try and confess your feelings to the fluffy hero in a discreet way.
“What am I supposed to do? What if he doesn’t like me and all the signs I’ve been getting from him are me making up a love story that is never going to happen between us?! What if by doing this I ruin our relationship and he makes sure the business tanks?! This is my life's work and I’m putting it on the line for a stupid chance at love!” you whisper yelled at them, the familiar feeling of fear and pain coursing through your system from previous failed love confessions.
“You really think a sweet man like that is going to make your life’s dream completely fall to pieces?” Tammy questioned and you exhaled, shaking your head ‘no’.
“Then go out there and get yo mans! You have to at least try and snatch that, I have to see my OTP become canon!” she sent a determined glare at you, grabbed the box, shoved it in your hands, spun you around, and pushed your forward. You stumbled and almost tripped onto the floor but caught yourself on the marble counter. Standing up tall, you took a deep breath in and urged your legs to move forward. Getting to the registrar, you smiled at Taishiro and the boys and handed over the box to FatGum after giving a subtle cough.
“Thank you for everything, Taishiro, you’ve helped me in ways you could never imagine. Now, I hope you boys come back sometime!” you spoke to the teens, Kirishima grinning at you with his shark-like teeth.
“Will do, Miss (Y/N)! I couldn’t stay away from this place even if I tried, your desserts are the BOMB!” he laughed, punching his fists together in excitement.
“...Thank you, Miss (Y/N).” Tamaki shyly whispered, giving you half a grin before cowering away once more.
“Don’t mention it, loves! Now, Taishiro, remember that I said this is on the--whoa! Are you okay?” you asked the man. His face was almost as red as his student’s hair, his eyes wide and unfocused as he stared at the top of the box, where your number neatly sat. You gulped, maybe it was the wrong decision after all.
Waving a nervous hand in front of Taishiro’s face, it seemed to break him from his spellbound state as he glanced at your eyes, “Are you...feeling okay, Taishiro?”
He looked at you with a shaken gaze as he laughed off his nerves while saying, “Y-Yeah! Just, um...yeah...you...let’s go, boys! Gotta get back to the patrol! Bye, (Y/N)!” he said while ushering the confused boys away from the counter and to the door. You felt your heart shatter into dozens of pieces as you turned your head down to conceal your sorrowed expression from the rest of the lounge area. You felt your eyes wet with tears but you used the sleeve of your white button down you dry them, you have to stay strong. At least you got it off your chest. Sniffling, you turned your head back up only to see FatGum’s face, only he was suddenly a lot more chiseled in the face and body and wow, did it just get hot in here?
“I forgot one thing.” he said with a flustered smile. You, less heartbroken then before just more confused, shrugged your shoulders in question. He then grasped your shoulders, tilted his head to the side, and planted a loving and firm kiss on your right cheek. You felt your face melt into a puddle of red as he held the kiss for a few seconds longer than anticipated but eventually released your cheek, staring back at you with the same expression as you.
“Did you really think I was going to leave without paying you back, cream puff?” he chuckled with a grin.
“I-I, um…” no longer sorrowed, your brain couldn’t catch up with the fact that he most definitely liked you back.
“Heh, you’re cute when you’re flustered for me. I’ll text you later, okay? Keep on the look out for me!” he said, backing up from the counter, only to grow immensely in size as he returned to the state you had met the hero in. He waved goodbye as he walked back to Kirishima who was practically bouncing off the walls in his excitement.
“Congratulations on the relationship, Miss (Y/N)!” the teen sang out as the three of them left the store to patrol the streets for their hero duties once again.
The entire restaurant was silent as they watched your chubby form turn into a puddle of emotions and ditzy giggles, the only thing that was heard was a loud, “YES! IT’S CANON, BABY!”

Jealous! Karma Akabane x Gamer! Reader
Tumblr media
     okay so I just finished watching all of Assassination Classroom and really let out my inner Mortal Kombat nerd on this. I hope you enjoy! also if you play Mortal Kombat, let me know who you main.
 You looked at yourself in your bathroom mirror. Your hair was up and you took a bit more effort in making it look neater than usual and you had even decided to put a little bit of make-up on for the occasion.
     “(Y/n)! Your boyfriend’s here!” Your mother shouted.
     “I’m coming!” You called out.
     You frowned slightly, thinking about how you could’ve done more with your hair and deciding if Karma would like the red knee-high dress you were wearing. Then your mom shouted at you to come downstairs once more and this time you darted out of the bathroom in your black flats.
     When you entered the kitchen, Karma was chatting with your older brother when his mercury-colored eyes landed onto your own (e/c) ones. A moment of shock grasped at him, only for a lazy smirk to replace it soon after.
     “If I knew you were going to get dressed for little ol’ me, I would’ve made a bit more effort in my own appearance.” He chuckled, walking over to you.
     You blushed when he slung his arm around your shoulders and pulled you closer to him, pecking your cheek. Your brother gagged and stormed off into his bedroom while pinching the bridge of his nose. Both you and Karma smiled at your brother’s behavior.
     “Now remember, (Y/n), I want you back before 12. Okay?” Your father spoke sternly.
     You rolled your eyes slightly, “Yes, Dad. See you later.”
     Your mother wished you a good night and your father playfully made the “I’m watching you” hand gestured to your red-haired boyfriend.
     As soon as you stepped out of your house, Karma ruffled and combed his hand through your hair and ignored your protests.
     “Karma! I spent a lot of time on my hair!” You pouted, crossing your arms over your chest.
     He only smiled and ruffled it a little more much to your displeasure, “I know, and as much as I appreciate it, I’d rather you look like yourself than get all dressy for me.”
     You could feel your face warm up at his words, so you turned away so Karma couldn’t tease you about your flustered expression.
     “S-So where are we going?” You asked, still trying to avoid looking at Karma.
     “The arcade,” Karma answered, smiling slightly at you.
     You whipped your head back to look at him, a wide grin spreading across your face, you soon began to run in front of Karma excitedly while dragging him by the wrist.
     “Bet I can beat you in Mortal Kombat!” You challenged.
     He was taken aback by your sudden change in mood but then smiled as well, “We’ll see.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     “Fatality!” The game shouted.
     The gravelly voice of the game then told Karma to finish you. His Mileena proceeded to kill your Sub-Zero in her typical cruel fashion before your screen blacked out, meaning you had lost the game.
     “NOO!” You whined, “I knew I should’ve played as Scorpion!”
     “It doesn’t matter who you chose,” Karma began to boast, “Mileena and I make a great team.”
     You began to bed for another round when some guy came up to the both of you.
     “Hey! I just saw your game! You’re really good at playing Sub-Zero.” The guy complimented shyly.
     You smiled brightly and obliviously to the boy’s blush, “Thanks! I have fun playing as him!”
“I actually prefer Raiden, personally.” He responded.
     Karma watched silently as you started having a conversation with the newcomer. To be honest, Karma had to do a lot of research on this game in order to talk to you about something other than assassination, so most of what you and the guy we’re talking about was over his head. Mileena was the only character that stood out to Karma considering they were both mischievous opportunists, so that was his first choice when playing. However, the boy talking to you seemed to be skilled at different characters much like you were.
     “Hey, (Y/n)! I’m going to get us some pretzel bites.” Karma excused himself, feeling his bloodlust starting to surface the longer he saw you talking to the guy.
     “Okay! I’ll just play a game with...” you trailed off and looked over at the guy in embarrassment.
     “Kiyoshi!” He finished brightly, realizing you didn’t know his name.
     Karma nodded and walked over to the snack bar, ordering the pretzel bites. He had to wait a few minutes which was kind of annoying, he had to get back to you after all.
     You, a pretty girl with near-infinite gamer knowledge and a pro at Mortal Kombat. You, alone in an arcade full of guys. You still dressed up in that cute red dress.
     Karma realized he made a mistake by leaving you to get snacks.
     “What is taking that guy so long?” He growled, now tapping his foot impatiently.
     Then the sound of your melodic laughter broke through the air, his orange-yellow eyes darting over to the game. It seemed as though you and Darius had attracted quite a crow, a crowd of guys.
     “Sorry, for the wait-“ The waiter didn’t have time to finish his sentence when Karma roughly grabbed the pretzel container from his hands and silently slammed the money on the counter.
     Striding over to you, he had a hard time getting past the crowd. Pushing and pulling back some guys in order to get closer to you.
     “Noo! C’mon Kang!” Kiyoshi urged his avatar.
     “Finish him.” The game instructed.
     Karma watched as you expertly handled your Sub Zero for your last kill move. When Kiyoshi’s character died his gruesome death, you were flocked with a bunch of males asking and begging you to play them.
     “Oh! Karma!” You beamed when you saw Karma’s red-hair in the crowd, “Thanks for the snacks, I gotta go real quick.”
     Running to the bathroom, Karma frowned when he heard your entourage of fanboys starting to wonder where you went.
     “She was really cute.” One guy gushed.
     “Yeah! And did you hear how she was spouting out all that Mortal Kombat knowledge!” Another exclaimed.
     “Do you guys think she has a boyfriend?” One sighed dreamily.
     That was the trigger for Karma.
     “Yes...she does, actually.” Karma began, setting the pretzel bites down.
    Your little entourage looked back to find a Karma glowering down at them, a psychotic smile on his face.
     “And he’s fuming mad.~”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     When you finished using the bathroom, you were shocked to see the number of bodies lying unconscious on the ground in the arcade. The only person was Karma, who was snacking on the pretzel bites in the middle of the room.
     “Karma?” You muttered.
     Turning his head to smile at you, he then took your hand and led you out the door.
      “K-Karma! Did you do this?” You asked, struggling against his grip.
     “Um...Maybe.” He replied, stopping to look into your eyes.
      Your face became deadpanned and you raised your eyebrow slightly at the wimpy response.
      “Fine! I did it! In my defense, I was unsupervised!” He huffed, letting go of your hand and crossing his arms for his chest.
      You were confused about why he would do such a thing when you remembered how all those boys kept complimenting you and challenging you. Soon a small smile made it’s way to your face.
     “You were jealous, huh?” You hummed.
     He didn’t say anything, the blush on his face answered for him. It was really cute to see hin pouting like a child that you couldn’t help but hug him tightly.
      “Dummy! You’re the only one I love!~” you purred.
     Karma slowly uncrossed his arms and hugged you back,” Yeah that was kinda dumb...”
     It was an odd sight. A couple hugging one another in the center of a room filled with unconscious bodies, it was unsettling to most people, but it was you and Karma’s relationship.
     And it was like no other.

Okay, but, the concept of Jin cooking and you two kissing while waiting for it to finish cooking and... uwu ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 ( hold you maybe write it, pretty please? Thank you 😚)
genre/warnings: ceo!seokjin, good old domestic makeout sessions on the kitchen counter
a/n: combined w this kinda i changed it a little sorry ajdfksaj “can u do like playing too hot with jin and he loses (:” both of these requests are so old i’m sosos sorry but i’m doing them now!! uwu!!
word count: 1,310
Tumblr media
Your hands were still slick from tap water when you gripped the edge of the counter, prepping and scrambling up the surface until you were perched on the end. You dried your palms on the front of your leggings, dabbing the appendages until your thighs were a bit damp and freezing, the swing of your feet over the side increasing in attempt to warm your muscles again. 
Seokjin meandered about the kitchen, oven mitts landing on the island counter top with a soft thump, free fingers busy at the knot at the small of his back. The ridiculous kiss the chef apron peeled off his torso slowly, the knot around his neck fluffing at the disheveled tendrils twisted a top his head as he discarded it too. The hunk of fabric folded, not quite making it all the way, landing on the tile in a sad heap. 
He was to you before you could scold him, sliding his palms across your inner thighs, spreading your legs enough for him to fit in between. You leaned away when he ducked forward, stopping the advancement of his comically pursed lips with the flat of your palm, curling your fingers around his mouth. 
“Just because you gave Jiyoon the day off doesn’t mean you can trash the kitchen for her to clean up tomorrow,” You flicked his forehead with your free hand. 
“That’s the only mess I’ve made,” He argued, straightening from you but not without licking a fat stripe through the center of your hand. 
“Really?” You smeared your hand into the front of your t-shirt. He cocked an eyebrow, hands brushing up and down your thighs, waiting for an elaboration. “The pile of salt is still on top of the stove, I think every cabinet is open or at least not closed properly, you dropped an open bag of tortilla chips in the pantry and…” You trailed off, squinting around his shoulders, “…there’s roughly fourteen, used, paper towels that aren’t in the trash.”
Seokjin hummed deep in the back of his throat, leaning to you again. You allowed him to capture your lips this time, propped up on the meat of your palms as he towered over you. “Cooking is an art, darling,” His lips ghosted over the corner of your mouth, “Art isn’t always pretty.”
You tilted your head, allowing his lips to travel down your jaw, “You’re still picking everything up after we’re done eating.”
His teeth nicked into the hinge of your jaw, hands on your thighs gripping and dragging you closer, “Noted.”
“How long did you put it in for this time?” Your neck craned farther as Seokjin mouthed down the side of your throat. The recipe he’d printed had clearly underestimated the ability of your dying oven. 
He’d put in an order for two new ones, just in case, before you were able to snatch his phone from his hand and show him he didn’t have the temperature high enough. 
“Just ten more minutes or so,” His fingers danced up the curve of your waist, deliberately slow in cupping your cheek in tilting his head for his liking. 
The first sink of his teeth into your pulse point had your hand flying into his hair, gripping tight to the soft brown locks. He barely soothed the mark he left, jerking back to you with accusing eyes. A flicking wrist batted at your arm, long fingers capturing your wrist and pinning your hand back to your side. 
“No touching,” Seokjin warned, plump lips quirking when your features blanched. 
Your surprise was short lived, heel digging into the back of his thigh, “What are we, in college again? What was that stupid game Taehyung made us play at Yoongi’s—”
“Too hot,” He pinched your inner thigh, unwinding your leg from around his waist, “That’s exactly what this is.”
“Why?”
He shrugged, dipping closer so that his nose brushed your cheek, dark brown challenging, “Because there’s no way you can last ten minutes until the food is done.”
“It’s not ten minutes anymore. Eight fifteen and descending.”
Seokjin’s lips latched across the mark he’d made previously, tongue lashing over the irritated skin. Your hand twitched, more so to whack the back of his head when he smirked against you. 
“You wouldn’t last two minutes.”
“Oh—” Your retort died in your throat when he kissed you again, harder, as if he were trying to swallow your bottom lip before releasing it so that the skin rebounded against your top lip. 
“Oh y-yeah?”
He just grinned, berry colored lips stretching over his teeth as a laugh wheezed out, one that was completely out of place. “Yeah.”
“You’re helping me win,” You prodded. You rose your hands, not to touch him, instead to tap your index finger against your wrist, “Time’s a ticking—”
Your hands at your chest twitched when Seokjin’s mouth was back on you, wasting no time in coaxing open the seam of your lips. Weakly did you drop them into your lap, forcing the twist of your fingers together to keep them occupied from anything but the overwhelming urge to tug on his hair, squeeze his wrists, curl loosely around his neck. 
He kissed you languidly, tasting of hot cocoa and his incessant habit of gnawing on breath mints. The festive holiday sweater he’d dug from the back of the closet hung loosely off his wrists, curling over his knuckles that settled on the lipped counter in between your thighs, thumbs brushing into the inner seams of your leggings at your knees. The ridiculously expensive grandfather clock in the foyer clicked over and over, methodically, filling the otherwise silent house with something just as the hum of the oven occupied the kitchen. The wind stirred some of the leftover leaves into the garden, oranges and reds and yellows flashing briefly in your peripheral as they skidded across the stone walkway into the garden off the dining room. A notification bell sounded somewhere, either from his open laptop in the bedroom or his phone forgotten next to a vase of flowers a neighboring company had sent him or his computer in his office on the second story.  
You only heard the high pitched grunt of approval muffled against the underside of your molars when Seokjin changed the angle, forcing you backward a handful of degrees. It was almost out of place, as if he were observing the quarterly report, no negative or affirmative emotion at the numbers. Just a soft hmm. Acknowledgement. 
“Giving up yet?” He breathed, swallowing thickly, a labored breath catching in his throat. 
Your no was both lost and negated when he leaned impossibly close over you, your hands in your lap too far to steady yourself from behind. Instead, you hooked your leg around his waist, digging your heel into his spine as your fists grappled for the collar of his sweater, twisting the itchy wool tight to you. 
“Are you trying to kill me?” You spoke into the flat of his mouth, eyes wide open, “Or at the very least, concuss me?”
“No,” The tip of Seokjin’s nose smudged against yours, teeth grazing your lips, “I’m trying to win.”
“Fine, you win, you win,” When he didn’t budge, you huffed, “Can you move now?”
His fingers danced across your thigh, hooking underneath your knee to settle both your legs around his waist, nestling his waist snug between your thighs. “I quite like where I am, actually.”
“The oven is going to beep soon,” You croaked as he went back to work on marking up the side of your neck. 
“So? Let it burn,” Seokjin hooked a finger into the collar of your shirt, yanking it aside to catch your clavicle with rounded lips, “We’re getting a new oven, anyway.”
“Yes, but we’re not getting a new house, Jin. And I’m hungry. Jin, get off. Jin!—”

Guess what I feel like oversharing? It’s Smash Bros stuff
So first of all, the first smash game I ever played was Brawl. Fite me. I didn’t have friends when melee and previous were out. Also I’d never heard of them then. And that’s pretty much it.
 When I first played Brawl and had no idea who most anyone was, aside from like. Pikachu, Mario, Link and whatnot, I played as Pikachu, Ice Climbers, and Pit. Literally most of my ‘mains’ (back before I knew what that was), were people I’d never heard of.
 Brawl Pikachu was, surprisingly, not my annoying character. Pikachu was who I considered my powerhouse. I could Thunder people at the top of the stage like no tomorrow and man it was satisfying. Down smash was my panic button and always kept people off me. Also, I could never get quick attack right. Ever.
Ice Climbers were who I used to be annoying. And when we played Brawl my friend and I weren’t quite srs about anything so we always played with items. And the power you feel. When Nana and Popo both have the fans. And your just endlessly smacking your opponent across the stage. A+ 10/10 would recommend. Though it was still before any of us were any good at the game, I did hear about wobbling back in Brawl, and sadly would never be able to even try it, as I had not the controllers needed to use it. And with Smash 4 I never will! #ripiceclimbers #ialwayslovedyou #neverforgetti
Brawl Pit was. Okay honestly, I mostly played Pit for the Subspace Emissary (which I miss and like everyone else wanted in Smash 4). I’m guessing I got attached to him just because he’s one of the first characters I played following the story line. I didn’t play him much against friend. And after Brawl I’ve never picked him up again. I’m not entirely sure why.
Brawl Toon Link. I only didn’t mention him as a main because I only started playing him a little bit before I got Smash 4. I don’t even remember using his items all that much. Know what I miss? Killing people off the top with Up Special. Why’d they get rid of that. It’s Toon Link. Who he gonna intimidate you can’t weaken my man like that.
 Whoop whoop, now we go to Smash 4, which is bright and colorful and I love it. Also it was around this time me and my friends had a newcomer who was... A bajillion times better at the game than we were. And my title as Smash Queen was threatened. And our new friend was now Usurper Smash King. And me and my partner in crime were like. ‘Yo this can’t stand’. We had a pact. I was Smash Queen and he was Smash Prince. We were unstoppable in teams. But no longer. And so we made the transition. That Smash transition of being Filthy Casuals, to Being filthy Serious Casuals.
And that’s as far as it’s gonna go. Cause let’s be honest, I’m not flippin Nairo. And my God the time and effort you have to put in to memorizing everything about your character and learning the match-up and blah blah super inner workings. I’m only a little bit ‘bout that life. I only care about beating my friends into the dirt, not top-level strangers. So I watch competitive videos and tutorials sometimes, when I’m feeling competitive I practice Advanced Techniques™. I got Perfect Pivoting, though I haven’t really been able to apply it to anything but grabbing (and attempted side smashes, but I usually end up tilting instead >3<). Pikachu’s Up-B ledge canceling is more reliable for me than before, but I still mess up sometimes and have only been able to use it just to get back to the ground without lag. I also can’t do that crazy up-b-up-b-up-b-up-b-up-b-up-b nonsense others can do. Much respect for those psychos. Flippin dweebs. And for Toon Link I pretty much have A-Cancel Tossing (that’s what it’s called, right? I can’t remember), and that’s pretty much it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After me and my friend became Casually Serious and learned more about the game, not only did we come to realize that we had no idea what we were doing when we played Brawl, but we also realized our Smash Usurper had no idea what he was doing either! :D And Oooo the day that we beat him. The day we finally beat him. Both 1v1 and when we joined teams, was the greatest day of our lives. 
Fricken nerds. XD
But we got our titles back! And still we happily sit at the top as Smash Queen and Smash Prince. I like being a bit more serious about the game honestly. It’s fun because it’s less of just random chance and more about skill, and we have fun playing matches with items on and off. And with us evolving, the rest of our friends start to evolve too, and we get beat more often than we did playing Brawl and that’s A+. I like the competition, I hadn’t realized I could be competitive before Smash. It’s pretty fun. :3
 Anyways, onto my Smash 4 mains! :D
 I actually consider myself having 2 groups of mains. The People I Actually Main, and the People I Enjoy Playing and Kinda Know How They Work But Not Really.
 First up, the Characters I Actually Main
 Pikachu: I liked Pikachu before I was srs about the game and I like him just as much after. He’s quick, annoying, has ranged attacks, and is adorably evil. Have you seen his soulless possessed eyes when he gets the smash ball? Pure terror. I do miss killing off the top with Thunder. I feel like (99.9% sure they did, but don’t care enough to look up what the changes were), they changed the way that hits, as when I went from Brawl to 4 I was absolutely terrible hitting with the cloud. No longer could I tell people ‘yo don’t let me get under u you’ll regret it’ *thunder* ‘wat did I tell u I told u not to do it’. I’m still slightly terrifying with the Thunder, but my hit rate went from a solid 70% to like. 25%. Yes I absolutely calculated that I’m a mathematician. But in exchange I actually hit people with the Thunder from the bottom, when I get all explodey and have .3 seconds of super armor >:D I’m much more accurate with that and it is very much satisfying getting a kill with it. My favorite outfit is his Goggles, and then the Wizard Hat. A++
Toon Link: Toon Link, honestly, is bae. I used to like Pikachu better, but since I’ve learned more about Toon Link I like playing as him so much more. I don’t care much that he’s not high tier it’s just fun playing as him, which thankfully is the basis with everyone I play. Walling people out gives me life. And I’m good at reading my friends enough that it gets menacing, especially when I pull out a bomb. For whatever reason when I start usually I just use boomerang and arrows, and never start pulling bombs until I get into a bad situation. I’ve gotten better and sometimes I pull a bomb first thing (though throwing it first thing is another matter entirely). My favorite thing about Toon Link is that if someone actually manages to catch a bomb, it’s usually by accident, and they don’t use them as much as me so they throw it away. And if they do hit me with it, they squander it and can’t get a hit in afterwards. I’m not much scared of my bombs since I know where I’ll move when I’m hit with them. I can’t tell you how many times I hit myself with it and saving my butt cause ain’t nobody know what to do when I’m flying the other way. Also, bring back Toon Link’s Up-B kill. It’s not so easy anymore. I miss it. So much. At least forward air gives a satisfying thwack. I choose his outfit basically as whatever I happen to be feeling at the time, most often it’s Blue then Green Link. When I’m being dumb or getting annoyed about people trying to partner with me in a 4v4 (or when we partner up on purpose and I decide I’m going to betray you now but I’m not about to give that away on purpose), I become Dark Link, I Have No Friends.
Shulk: Funny thing is, I’ve never played Xenoblade Chronicles. I’ve watched a let’s play of most of it (anyone else like chuggaaconroy’s videos?), but I want to play it myself eventually so I’m holding off watching the end. I’m not particularly attached the game or characters, and honestly Shulk is way different from anyone else I play. Most everyone I’ve played are light, fast characters with some sort of projectile. Literally everyone else I play has a projectile. But I ended up really liking Shulk and the monado arts. With the different arts he has (particularly speed), it’s easy for me to get in even without a projectile. I love the counter, and how long it lasts, and that second counter you get for ‘predicting’ the attack. My only complaint is that every. Single. One. Of Shulk’s moves is slow like no tomorrow. I wish that when you put on speed it changed the frames in which some of his attacks come out, especially since you’re sacrificing so much for what’s basically just a movement boost. But regardless, I love playing as Shulk, and the monado is enough for me to feel like I don’t need to be right in my opponents face all the time. Also, being at 200% in shield is a scary thing, especially when people get desperate for attacks but oops, call me Raven cause I just got a Vision! I really should learn about Art Canceling (I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s called), but eh. Ain’t got no time recently. My favorite outfits of his is either the white Paladin Shulk, the Red and Blue, or the Orange and Pink. Depends on my mood which one I choose.
 And that about does it for Characters That I Actually Main :D Three of them is pretty reasonable, right? Characters I Enjoy Playing and Kinda Know How They Work But Not Really is slightly less reasonable. A whopping four characters. That’s right. One more than my mains. Then again, that makes 7 characters in all. Not really that resonable anymore XD
 To start things off, first and definitely least is Bowser Jr: Bowser Jr. was how I learned having a character that’s not as likely to die at 70% is a beautiful thing. I started playing him when I first got Smash 4, and sorta dropped him along the way. Every once in a while I’ll play as him, but it’s usually when things are just for fun. I’m not so good at getting the hammer from his up-b to hit, but I can clownkart-to-down-air like nobody’s business obvs I am a master at strategical combat. My favorite move and the objectively best move in his arsenal? Down tilt. Pblblblbl. I like the classical Bowser Jr. skin, while my friend likes to play as Wendy.
Next up is Rosalina and Chico. Or Luma: I also played Rosalina back when I first started Smash 4. It was to fill the hole in my heart left behind by the Ice Climbers. It did its job, for a time. But Chico will never be Nana. </3 But Rosalina and Luma are still pretty fun! I got as far as understanding better how they work together, separate, Rosalina by herself and running away screaming. I learned Lunar Landing, which isn’t a very hard technique in and of itself anyways. My friend more often plays as them now, and my best counter to Rosalina is either Shulk or Rosalina XD Thankfully my Rosalina is still better than his so I have that >:D Rosalina, for me, is a character I consider really good at Not Dying. When we play Time battles I have a harder time winning with her, but put me in Stock and I am Queen of the Cosmos. My favorite outfits are her white and black ones. :3
Third is the one, the only, Mewtwoooooo: Mewtwo, oddly enough, I absolutely hated. When we first got the DLC for him I tried him out and agh. The floatiness, his slow attacks, his tendency to die at 70% if you stare at him too hard, down special is impossible to hit, and the fricking smash attacks are like 2 inches away from his face. I hated him. He was awful. And somehow I kept trying to pick him up anyways??? The odd thing is my friend usually likes the floaty characters, but refuses to pick out Mewtwo. Somehow, somewhere, at some point or another, I ended up playing as Mewtwo even though I wasn’t that good. I haven’t even bothered looking for many combos or techniques for him, but he’s fun to play. He’s a glass canon, and the better I get at him the more intimidating he is. I still haven’t been able to hit anyone with confusion. Ever. >_> But his floatiness and that long tail are pretty useful tools once you get the hang of it. And that forward air is killer man. I approve. And I’ve been able to hit with his side smashes a lot more! No luck with down smash yet though. VoV I play Mewtwo quite often, often enough that if I actually bothered learning more about him, I’d probably consider him a main I could switch in an out with Shulk. My favorite skin of his is the Edgelord dark version.
And last, but certainly not least, the character that I literally play just to be annoying is, not Duck Hunt, not Pacman or Pikachu or Bayonetta, but: Charizard! Or specifically my version, Purplezard. The best thing about Charizard is that he encompasses everything I hate. He’s slow. His attacks are slow. He can’t jump high. No projectiles (flamethrower is like. Half a projectile). But for whatever reason despite me being absolute garbage in comparison to playing my other characters, I often win with him. I literally just play as Charizard to be a monster. And he is an absolute Beast. My friend particularly hates if I ever switch to him because he knows full well that I’m not playing seriously, I’m being a big fat troll, I know very little about him as a character, and I win anyways. And if it wasn’t obvious from the name Purplezard, I like his purple skin. A+
 And that about does it for who I like playing in Smash! As a side note and completely unrelated to characters, for anyone who likes playing with items on, I have a tip for you:
Throw shit.
Flame rod? Throw it. Lightsaber? Throw it. Get the fricken Homerun Bat? Throw it. Throw everything. You have no idea how much it throws off people when you get the Homerun Bat and they expect you to go for the gold and you just chuck it at their face instead. And homerun bat does so much damage being thrown too. And by the time they realize it’s not in your hands and they have an opportunity to grab it, you’re probably already running at it and grab the item + hit them with a dash attack first. And who knows if your gonna start using the item like it’s supposed to be? The power is yours.
Also it’s hilarious
