#at least Smash is still actually a good game
Text
I have many thoughts on Challengers (2024) and I need to get them out so here we go
First, the tennis.
This movie understands tennis better than any film, tv, book, etc. I have ever seen. You know exactly how the relationship between the three main characters is going to play out just based on how they play. The cardinal rule of tennis is you want to get to the net as quickly as possible. Playing from the baseline (the line that you serve at) is all well and good and it's a vital part of the game but playing at the net is where the action is. The quicker you get to the net, the more likely you are to win.
From the first moment we see Art and Patrick, Art is at the net and Patrick is at the baseline. Then we see Patrick serve. In the language of tennis, Patrick's serve is a crime against beauty. It might work well enough for him but it is ugly. Those two facts put together mean that when Tashi tells Patrick he isn't a tennis player, she knows what she's talking about. Art is not as talented as Patrick and neither of them are as talented as Tashi but Art gets to the fucking net. He understands what Tashi means when she says that tennis is a relationship.
Second, the framing of the narrative as a tennis match.
Patrick wins a set, Art wins a set, we're left looking at the tie breaker. Brilliant. Camera shots from far away steadily get closer and closer, just like if you were in a rally and you were moving toward the net. Tashi, in particular, always moves closer to the person she's talking to and she always wins the point. She goes towards the net.
Third, Tashi as a character.
I love her, your honor. She is in love with the game of tennis. She doesn't give a shit about anyone or anything else. When she says she would stab a child to have the recovery that Art did, she means it. Moreover, we know that the child in question could be her own daughter and she would still mean it. From the first night in the boys' hotel room, she doesn't care which of them gets her number, she just wants to see good tennis. She is unlikable and yet Art is right. Who wouldn't love her?
Fourth, Art and Patrick.
One thing about tennis: your teammates are also your competitors. They are the yardstick by which you measure yourself, the only people capable of making you better, the people that you most need to beat. The relationship between the two of them, even from the beginning, perfectly reflects this.
I would actually argue that not a single one of the three of them is a good person. But the narrative is completely uninterested in whether or not their moral people. All it cares about is if they're good tennis players.
Fifth, the background details.
Art is sponsored by Wilson, his rackets have their logo repainted on (normally, you get rackets restrung and don't get the logos painted back on, only the players that are sponsored get that done.) Tashi was sponsored by Wilson (and Adidas but only for her clothes). Art only switches over from Dunlop to Wilson after they get married. Patrick's racket is restrung, but no logo, he's not sponsored. But, his poverty is at least a little bit performative because you don't smash up a $300 racket unless you have money to spare.
The ad in the background of the parking lot. It still has both Tashi and Art on it while Tashi and Patrick are having sex but by the time the final match starts, Art's half of the picture has torn away.
Patrick's changed serving style. Only when communication is happening directly between him and Art, that Tashi has no way of understanding, do they start functioning well on a court together. Ironically, when Tashi is removed from the relationship she finally gets to see some good tennis.
Anyways, I love this movie.

This is probably an "old woman yells at clouds" moment, but I'm very very glad that Nintendo didn't let Samus get added to Fortnite. The game is so saturated with crossovers and skins and shit that I sincerely doubt the exposure would have meaningfully moved the needle on Metroid sales, and the series would just be devalued further by this inclusion tbh. I don't want to see Samus firing an AK-47 and doing tiktok dances and used as the mouthpiece for some kid yelling slurs. Wholeheartedly embracing my inner hater in this one instance, a bullet truly was dodged. Nintendo can really suck with their overprotectiveness of their IPs, but in this one case I'm grateful for it.

Tsuma is an INSANE one to start on but also a fantastic one... I think my first was SP so it's so funny we've "traded" those specific shows lmao BUT YEAH. YEAH. I BELIEVE YOU. I'M GONNA BE NORMAL ABOUT KEISUKE BUT NOT ANYTIME SOON. Tsutsumi's Princess Peach lips every time Maida squishes his face 😭😭😭😭😭
The moment outside the school basically condenses everything about the show for me it's so perfect and cute but I'm INTERNALLY SCREAMING AT ALL OF THIS BEING SAID OUT LOUD... PLEASE... YOU'RE GOING TO END UP ANOTHER IMPRISONED TSUTSUMI... He really is SUCH a malewife though that's what destroyed me frame one... especially because he's really similar to how Tsutsumi talks about himself so like perfect casting I hope he had fun with the role... Definitely continuing when I can are you kiddinggggg
Well Hopefully You Still Think AtR's Cute And/Or Sweet Wherever You're At Now So The Rest Of This Isn't Embarrassing LGSKFJLGJ BUT YEAH... YEAH... I'm aro myself so all that's Complicated right, and definitely something I tried to consider when Sorta-Not-Really-Recommending, but it's good to hear it can be entertaining even without being able to relate :']
THAT COULD'VE GONE /WAY/ SOUTH AT THE PANEL but I'm glad everyone made it out unharmed😭😭😭BUT YEAH... at the end of the Ohashi arc when Ogata threw all his stuff off the desk and the gang just wordlessly put it back for him 'cause that's all they can do... ough. Momence. That's why it was so sick watching everything fall into place [temporarily]. Also appreciate the Jo-ism in doing all the dirty work for a politician in the family and wanting to be stopped without saying it upfront and uhhhhh being fine with dying and/or going to prison LMAO
OH BUT NO PROB it is always tradition for me to send the translated letter once I've indoctrinated someone new :] funny thing is every single version I've sent is different because I've been editing it to this day
AGAIN i chose tsuma cause the title was Utterly Insane and i just had to see for myself what the fuck was going on and im so glad i did... funny that we did trade first-watches (and fun that i get 'my own version' of ogata's letter lmao) :)
BUT YEAHYEAH keisuke's adorable.. like genuinely i think he's tsutsumi's cutest role ive seen so far its hard for me to imagine one topping it in regards to how endearing he is (❁´◡`❁) keisuke being so enamored by his wife but being So Blind To How Things Look is genuinely super funny. like poor guy really is just super happy to have his wife back in a way but not yk (╯▽╰;;; )
Horribly i think of okita from that Taboo movie when it comes to consuming media: even if i dont personally have that experience or understand 100%, i can still appreciate a good story and characters (im paraphrasing SO hard and with less homophobia </3), so if you got anythin good throw it my way anytime ♪(´▽`) !! i'm about to start episode eight in a bit but NO WORRIES i still very much am a fan of the show !! and im sad/excited to see im almost done with it ( sad its almost over, but also SUPER interested to see how everything comes together in the end (☆▽☆) )
#long post#snap chats#tsutsumi drinking game where you have to guess his chara either ends up dead in jail or Somehow Ok ☠️☠️#keisuke's such a dork... he's literally such a puppy of a man right down to being Stupid Loyal it warms my heart (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)#i LOVEE it when takae squishes his face cause I Repeat... he does look super cute and silly...#that's literally all i can say about him He's Cute And Silly and it's why he's one of my fave tsutsumi roles#the best things in life are cute and silly.... its why i love kirby...#now i wonder about how tsutsumi talks about himself if keisuke reminds you of him... inch resting... but i believe its a perfect casting..#BUT ANYWAY YEAH NO the one thing i like about psychology is that it helps me understand people more#or at least im more willing to investigate why X and Y is a thing for Z yk#so Again even if i havent personally experienced something or get it from a Personal perspective i can still work out how other people feel#and just immerse myself and still enjoy the media :)#AH BUT YEAH THE BIT WHERE OGATA THROWS ALL HIS STUFF ON THE GROUND lit the peak ABSOLUTE Top Ten momence#cause Yeah No we're ALL frustrated for him at this point with how much he keeps getting shot down for actually trying to do his job#but not do his job TOO well no cause God Forbid THAT happens i guess. again makes it hard to be mad at him for being out of pocket lmao#IN ANY CASE im gonna go do somethin quick then im gon finish AtR either within the next two hours or at least this morning BYE#birthday went fine nothing too remarkable happened other than my sis and her boyfriend made pizza and it was real good#then they my bro and i all played smash bros and i was trying my best Not to play too seriously cause ik my sis and her bf dont game much#but my bro and i do and i at least wanted to give em a chance to have fun ☠️ alright ima go take care of That Thing BYE

hsr x gn!reader relationship hcs
Tumblr media
warnings: penacony spoilers (2.0+), bug mention (screwllum), angsty (aventurine & acheron), ocd mention (sunday), slight dark content (ie stalking) at end in Sundays but it’s marked in red to avoid if uncomfy
characters: sunday, screwllum, acheron, aventurine
a/n: i feel like it’s so obvious i did like 2 of these a week later 💀 i need more Sunday content in game
Tumblr media
sunday
❧ if you manage to get past Sunday’s formal exterior, what lies behind it is a complete “know-it-all.”
❧let him nerd out about the greatest books in the current and past amber eras. he’ll make sure to tell you all about the authors too.
❧if the two of you have liking books in common, congrats! he’ll bring you on a tour to the primal waking library where you can chat all about it.
❧sunday’s compulsions become even worse with you around. is his shirt properly tucked in? he hopes there’s no wrinkles, maybe he should iron all his shirts again. oh gosh-are his shoes untied? you don’t even notice this. he’s used to hiding his true feelings.
❧he definitely confesses first. he’s aware that his status can be a hindrance when forming genuine relationships.
❧ maybe afterwards he’ll let you touch his wings. he loves the feeling of you stroking his feathers. especially when those annoying pin feathers grow in. the biggest sign of trust amongst birds- and sunday of course.
❧ and obviously you always get free vip to robin’s shows.
❧before and after the “Robin incident” are two very different Sundays.
❧the after, is a very possessive Sunday. he can’t have you become like Robin. he uses nightingales to keep watch on you, to make sure you’re safe. he knows it’s unhealthy but he just lost his sister, he can’t lose you too.
-
Aventurine
❧aventurine’s flirty facade fools most people. they think he’s sleazy and untrustworthy, and so do you in the beginning.
❧at first he talks to you because he thinks your reactions are amusing.
❧eventually your relationship gets too deep for comfort.
❧this guy will never open up. if he has feelings for you, you’ll never know. it’s not because he’s ashamed. it’s because he cannot comprehend someone actually liking him.
❧the only way he’ll confess is if you do it first. and even then he plays it off like a joke, something he can’t even believe. it takes a lot of button pressing to get him to admit his feelings.
❧aventurine is a very vulnerable person. he may rub off insults but they still hurt him deep.
❧the first time you hug him, he is baffled. affection has been foreign to him since the extinction event.
❧worming your way into his heart will get you even more riches then before. sure, he hands out money like nothing, but to you? that credit card is unlimited.
❧”what, that’s all?” he encourages you to spend.
❧brings you to casinos for good luck. not as if he needed any, but with you at least his hand doesn’t shake.
-
screwllum
❧ it isn’t uncommon for inorganic species to feel love. just as it isn’t uncommon for organic species not to.
❧ Screwllum, however, hasn’t experienced that feeling.
❧ he sees the way organic species love in a way he hasn’t. as a genius society member and one interested in life itself, how could he not be interested.
❧ which is why when he starts feeling a fluttering in his chest whenever you’re around, he must get to the bottom of it!
❧ confesses instantly. he has zero experience yet remains so confident.
❧ immediately takes time out of his day to interact with you. in whatever way possible.
❧ it could be the busiest day of his life and he’ll still make time for you.
❧ he’s described as a gentlemen by his close companions. this means opening doors for you, taking you out to places, etc.
❧ sounds too good to be true. but it is true.
❧ his one flaw, if you can even call it that, is his love for all life. and that includes bugs! no smashing them on his watch! he’s picking them up before you even get the chance.
❧ if you like bugs, even better. he’ll gently pick them up and talk about them with you. the two of you can take turns.
-
Acheron
❧ the first time you meet her, you think she’s a polite but introverted lady. she claims to be a galaxy ranger and you have no reason to doubt her.
❧ her blunt way of speaking leaves no room for questions.
❧ that is, until you get too entangled in each other’s destines.
❧ your first meeting with acheron, wasn’t actually your first. you’ve met her many times. every time though she seems not to know you.
❧ Acheron lies to protect you. just as she lied about being a galaxy ranger, she lies that she has no feelings whatsoever towards you.
❧ perhaps you remind her of someone she once knew.
❧ on some days, acheron traverses through her memories to look for you. she sees the hurt look in your eyes, but sees your smiles too. the path of a self-annihilater is a lonely one.
❧ ultimately, if you manage to convince her with words and actions that you truly care for her. she will put forth that effort tenfold. she desperately doesn’t want to be alone anymore.
❧ acheron is very protective towards you. if there’s a hint of danger, she’ll encourage you to take her with you. even going on her own to eliminate it herself.

This is entirely Ari and Jaspers fault. I’m actually insane for this man.
Pairing: Oliver Aiku x f!reader.
Warnings: 18+, cunnilingus.
Tumblr media
There’s something about the way Oliver Aiku’s stubble tickles your ear when he leans down to whisper against it that has your cunt throbbing with desire. It’s the salaicious implication behind it as his warm breath fans against your skin and you feel him pressed against your hip, a subtle indication that he might actually be good at it.
But he’s pathetic really, especially paired with the sheer audacity he holds that thought he could get away with asking you such a crude question. It’s enough having to deal with him on and off the pitch as one of the team administrators, but this? You weren’t drunk enough for this—
“Do you wanna suck my cock?”
It had been the last thing you’d expected to hear when he’d pressed his lips to your ear, and you should’ve walked away at that alone. There were more than enough men in this dirty dive bar that would at least have better small talk at bare fucking minimum.
“No.” You scrunched your nose in irritation, already intent on walking away.
“Aw come on,” He grins, taking a sip of his beer, “Don’t be like that, sweetheart.”
The pet name should’ve been his second strike, so why were you still here?
“I’m not your sweetheart,” You shot him a smile back, full of faux sincerity.
“But you could be,” He grinned.
“Nah, I don’t think I could.”
“You always act like you hate me.” He pouts, and you have to stop your heart from squeezing at how adorable he looks— you have to stay strong.
“Yeah, it’s an act.” You reply sarcastically, rolling your eyes as you down the rest of your drink.
That’s why you hate yourself for where you are now, legs spread while Oliver looks at you like the cat that got the cream. Licking his lips as he peels your sticky panties to the side, eyes sparkling in delight as he notices the wet patch that stains the fabric.
“Knew you were lying,” He scoffs, “Were you this wet when you were talking to me, huh?”
“Shut up,” You sneer, scrunching your nose in frustration.
“That’s not very nice, is it?” He presses a wet, sloppy kiss to your inner thigh.
And the moment you feel the rough stubble graze your thighs, it’s game over. Legs lock around his head to cage him in, chasing the sensation as you shamelessly wiggle your inner thighs against the side of his face.
“I haven’t even touched you yet, sweetheart.” He grins, large palms dipping into the plush of your thighs as he prizes them open like a cherished gift.
He licks his lips in anticipation as he ogles your sex, revealing just how wet and ready you are for him— strings of your slick glisten against you invitingly and it only boosts his ego knowing that it’s all for him.
“Prettiest fuckin’ pussy I’ve ever seen.” He speaks, and you’re unsure whether it’s to you or him, but it doesn’t stop your clit from pulsing in response. The swollen nub desperate for attention as you writhe beneath his grip, Oliver’s warm breath that fans against it not nearly enough as you feel pleas sitting on the tip of your tongue.
But you’re determined not to stoop so low, to give his ego even more of a boost. He’s shameless enough as it is, with the cocky curl of his lip as he deliberately hovers inches from your slit.
“At least this pussy’s fucking honest,” He chuckles, “Look how much she wants me.” And it’s enough to have you weaving a hand through his messy mop of hair as your nails drag against his scalp. Twisting at the root to hold him steady as you buck your hips, pushing his face into your eager cunt.
His lips smash against your clit, giving it some needed relief as you whine in satisfaction. Your body convulsing as your eyes roll back into your skull, pleasure shoots through your veins like he’s an addictive drug and you’re certain you won’t recover.
But it’s the way his rough stubble grazes the sensitive skin that has you crumbling, your toes curl as you turn into the needy, desperate slut he’d said you were—
“Fuck,” He groans, muffled by your cunt as he slurps and guzzles your slick like he’s picked the ripest peach, “You’re such a mess.”
It’s debauched, and borderline depraved as you feel a mixture of his spit and your slick drool between the curve of your ass. Slurping it into his mouth before spitting it back down against your messy slit, positive there’s a puddle beneath you as Oliver continues to ruin you.
You’re certain you won’t survive— the flat of his tongue swipes from your tight rim as he works the length of you, all the way to the top as you feel the rough stubble on his chin tickle your clit. Oliver repeats the motion, as though he knows it’s exactly what you want. And perhaps it is— the sensation has you crying out for him as you shamelessly fuck his face. Chasing the sensation of his beard against your slit as you let the friction catch your clit, feeling the familiar throb swirl in your abdomen as you feel yourself teetering on the edge of bliss.
And he knows from the telltale way your thighs begin to shudder and your hole begins to pulse as he weaves a hand around your thighs to press down on your pelvis. Increasing the pressure and pulling the hood of your clit back as he nuzzles your cunt, bristling against you as you find yourself crying out for him. Reduced to a pathetic, debauched mess as he stares up at you from between your clenching thighs.
Oliver works you through your climax, his tongue prods your leaking hole greedily after as though to taste his victory. Pressing a final, lingering kiss to your over sensitive clit as he pulls back with a cocky grin. The mess of your climax now threaded through the fuzz on his chin as he shamelessly wipes his mouth with the back of his hand.
“Still gonna act like you hate me, sweetheart?”

Smash or Pass
Fandom: Danny Phantom and Batfam Prompt: https://www.tumblr.com/help-i-need-a-cool-username/719653067055906816/ashboy-3-please-tag-me-whenever-you-post-it?source=share Characters: Danny, Sam, Tucker, Jason, Batfam Words: 1908 Summary: Danny refuses to sleep and gets stopped by a reporter. Not fully knowng what she aks when questioning him about Red Hood Danny answers with a simple Smash. Now if only his crush Jason Todd would pick up on the social cues.
“So what’s the game tonight?” Danny asked, looking at the screen of the video camera to see Tucker and Sam staring back at him.
“Are you sure Danny. Isn’t it like ten over there?” Sam asked, worry clearly on her face.
“It’s not a good night for sleep Sam. Please. You two both have the day off, right?” Danny asked.
“Yeah we do dude. So I was thinking Smash or pass?” Tucker threw the idea out there.
“Oh that’s a good one. What should we do it on?” Danny asked.
“Super smash bros? It has Smash in the name?” Tucker suggested.
“Then we should totally do Pokémon!” Sam had an evil smirk.
“Oh you are both so on!” Danny quickly agreed as Tucker quickly found a full list online of the Super Smash bro fighters, sharing his screen and making sure to record, if anything for future black mail reasons.
“Alright first up Mario,” Tucker announced, both his friends knowing that he would rather be the impartial party and narrator while they have their fun.
“Pass.” Danny and Sam voiced.
“Donkey Kong.”
“Pass,” Danny quickly said.
“Smash!” Sam was quick to say as the two looked at each other.
“You want to smash a giant monkey?” Danny questioned.
“First off he’s a gorilla, second you can’t tell me that he doesn’t fuck,” she quirked her eyebrow at him.
“Fair enough,” Danny yielded holding up his drink to take a sip in her honor.
“Dude that’s water,” Tucker rolled his eyes.
“Don’t’ remind me. Who’s next!”
“Link.”
“Smash” Tucker rolled his eyes at his two friends.
“Sometimes you two are so predictable. Samus.”
“Pass,” Sam waved her off.
“Smash. Let her fuck me up, in or out of that suit!”
“Dark Samus?”
“Same,” they both agreed, to keep their answers from last time.
“Yoshi.”
“Smash!” Sam yelled out, Danny thinking about it before he to agreed.
“Why am I friends with you two? Kirby?”
“Pass,” Sam said as Danny thought abot it. “Yeah pass. I feel like Kirby is to innocent. And dude who else would you be friends with. Hit me with the next one!”
“Fox and Falco.”
“Pass on Fox smash on Falco,” Sam decided. “Pass on both,” Danny shook his head.
“How could you smash one but not the other? Their the same thing?” Danny asked.
“First off their not. I feel like Falco is more bad ass. Second, I don���t want to hear that argument when we get to pokemon.”
“Fair enough.” Danny agreed.
“Speaking of Pokemon I’m skipping them in this list since that’s our next list,” Tucker skipped the image of pikachu. They both passed on Luigi, Ness, Captain Falcon, and jigglypuff.
“I would so smash princess peach, daisy, and Rosalina. Line them up!” Danny cheered.
“Really Peach? I would only smash Rosalina. She at least had a story line,” Sam rolled her eyes.
“Bowser?”
“Smash the fucking hell out of me!” Danny cheered.
“Okay I know I’m a monster fucker, but are you sure you’re not one?” Sam asked him.
“I have never actually thought about it,” Danny shrugged. “But you still didn’t answer the question?”
“Of course, I’d smash Bowser. Pass on Wario, Waluigi, and Dr. Mario,” Sam rolled her eyes, a smile on her lips.
“Yeah, I can agree with that statement,” Danny shook his head in understanding. “We are passing on the ice climbers?” Danny asked.
“Of course!” Danny agreed. “and you know I’m smashing Sheik and Zelda!”
“Smash Sheik pass on Zelda.”
“You are aware that their the same person right?” Tucker asked her.
“I’m very aware. Sheik could kill me and Zelda is a broing princess. I know what I want in a partner.”
“point taken,” Tucker stopped his fight as he ended up pushing next multip times. Danny and Sam both agreed to pass on the fire emblem charctrers along with young link while Smashing Ganon.
“Mr. Game and Watch.”
“Pass,” Sam said quickly.
“I’d smash. I feel like he could give me a fun time. You saw how he handles that hammer. If I’m lucky he’d use it to pound me,” Danny smiled, making both of his friends laugh.
“You know Danny I agree with that statement and that’s why I’d smash meta knight.”
“To much armor for me,” Danny said, making Tucker snort.
They passed on the Pit’s, kept their same opinion on Samus and landed on Snake.
“Extra Smash!” Danny and Sam agreed.
They kept playing, ending pretty quickly with mostly passes. Danny wanting to smash Bayonets,, Ridley, and King Roll. Sam was agreeing with that list adding Isabella, claiming that she must have some evil dark side to her. This led the group to the pokemon list.
“Do we want to start with Gen 1? Or just go into chaos?” Tucker asked, knowing his friends answers as he got up the list for Gen 9.
“I’m being honest if it’s got three evolutions, I’m most likely not going to smash the first evolution. The second and third are still up for grabs,” Danny set down his rules.
“I can agree with that. So we passing on Sprigatto, Quaxly, and Fuecoco,” Tucker mumbled to himself, making sure to skip thoses options.
“I’m Smashing Floragato, Meowscarda and crocalor from the starters,” Danny stated.
“Chicken,” Sam snorted. “I’ll take your grass started and your fire second evolution and raise you a Quaxwell.”
“I feel like it’s only going to drown into madness from here,” Tucker groaned, knowing it’s not even midnight where Danny is yet and there are nine generations of pokemon.
“How can you not Smash Spidops!” Danny asked frantically.
“Are you kidding? All it does is shot webs. If I wanted to fuck something that shots webs I would fuck spiderman,” Sam rolled her eyes.
“You. . .bring out an excellent point, but I’m not changing my answer!”
“Smashing Arbolliva!” Sam slammed her hand on the desk.
‘Damn girl! I am right here! If you don’t want me then just say it,” Tucker teased her as Danny laughed.
“Smash. Samsh. Smash Ceruledge,” Danny was cheering, Sam cheering with him.
“You know it makes sense that the two of you dated in. highschool, but I can clearly tell why you two were never going to work,” Tucker observed.
“And why is that?” Danny asked, quirking his eyebrow.
“You have to similar of taste.”
“No way in hell you’re actually fucking Grafaiai. Sam do you just have a thing for monkeys or something? “Danny asked.
“I’m not the one who’s ready to throw a party for Toedscruel. I thought we agreed no judging?” She glared.
“Oh know we are judging. I think I’m the one who’s judging the worst,” Tucker laughed.
“That doesn’t count. You only have eyes for Sam. I can’t even recombed a person looks hot and fuckable to you without you saying Sam’s better,” Danny groaned.
“Yep and it’s nice to see that my girlfriend does not have the same standards for me,” Tucker was looking towards her, a playful smile on his lips. He knows she loves him and that he’s not being serious.
“Ah shit guys! I gotta go and get ready for class!” Danny said after hours of playing the smash or pass game. They did eventually make it through all of the Pokémon, but now it was 7 am and Danny had to run to get to campus and stop at his favorite coffee shop.
“Make sure you stay awake dude. If you need to skip class I can write you a doctor’s note,” Tucker said.
“I’ll be fine. I just really don’t want to sleep right now. I should be better by tonight,” Danny said bye to his friends, changing into a different shirt, making sure to grab his jacket, wallet, and keys before leaving his small apartment.
Danny loved living in Gotham, but sometimes the hustle and bustle of the city can be chaotic and stressful, especially on the days when Danny could possibly be late for class, sleep deprived, yet to have his coffee and some report is stopping him to ask him question.
“Opinion of Red Hood?” was the only thing Danny heard the reported ask.
“Smash,” was all Danny could think of as he quickly walked into the coffee shop to get his black coffee with 12 extra expresso shots. Did is taste good? No. Did it wake him up? Absolutely.
Danny didn’t realize the absolute chaos he had caused till he was back home from his classes, Sam and Tucker spamming him with memes of what he did.
Seeing no other option but to go along with it. He found the original clip that tucker sent him a link to, tunrs out the news station put it up on twitter, and re retweeted it with just two words. “I’m right.”
Meanwhile on the other side of Gotham Dick is dying of laughter as he discovered the most hilarious news clip on the planet and proceeded to send it to every single person in his contacts and to every group chat that he’s in, just in case he didn’t have someone’s contact number saved.
He even found the clip being retweeted by the same guy who claims that he’s still right with someone else tagging it #plsdon’tkillhimmr.redhoodsir.
He was making fun of Jason for it especially because turns out his brother knows the guy in real life.
“Grayson what does he even mean when he says smash?” Damain asked as Tim and Dick were making fun of Jason at the cave.
“I have to agree with Damain. The video makes know sense,” Bruce agreed.
“I’m not explaning this,” Tim quickly grabbed his coffee and walked out of the batcave.
“No it!” Jason declared running upstairs, face fully red, Dick not far behind him.
“Why is it always me,” Duke groaned as Bruce wayne lifted a questioning eye brow up at him.
“Please don’t make me explain it,” Duke begged, but sadly when Bruce Wayne wants to know something he will know something.
“Keep making fun of me for this and I will no longer show up to family dinner,” Jason glared at his older brother.
“Aww. You know you can’t avoid Alfred forever,” Dick teased.
“Shit you’re right,” Jason groaned, knowing he was going to have to put up with his brother’s teasing no matter what.
Before anyone knew it Wednesday was upon them, which meant that Danny and Jason finished their only shared class and walked out together to get lunch.
“So did you see your famous news clip?” Jason asked, not able to look Danny in the eye.
“Yeah. I swear this I say the craziest shit when I’m sleep deprived. I stand by what I said though,” Danny got up from the table to grab his order.
“You’re not worried about Red Hood finding out or anything?” Jason asked, seeing a chaotic look within Danny’s eyes.
“Jason, I want nothing more than for Red Hood to come and find me. Hopefully then I’ll get my wish,” Danny smirked up at him, hoping his friend would catch on to the signs.
“Well one can always hope,” Jason gave an awkward laugh as Danny sighed.
Jason may be a bat, but Danny has a feeling that he’s as hopeless as he is when it comes to picking up on romantic cues. At this rate, it’s going to take a miracle to get Jason to realize that yes Danny has feelings for him.
@help-i-need-a-cool-username @spookytragedyshark @weirdfishy @meira-3919 @akikkobara @yjfk@shorterthanadverage@mistyaltair @seraphinedemort@princessdaisysolosyourfaves@idontgetpaidenoughforthisshit@thatonegaybitch68@fuck-you-too-world@stargirl1331@blackrabbitt3t@staresatyoufromaccrosstheroom@f-theworld
I think that was everyone that wanted to be tagged. I personally feel like this could you a second chapter. If I ever do decide to do that then I would definitely add more Jason moments than just having him in here at the last moment.

LIFE OF THE PARTY PRT 2 🔥ish
- Chris Sturniolo x y/n (fem)
- KINDA smutty 16+
- warnings: uhh making out heavily and a little rough. and some touching whatnot. oh also language.
- authors note: this one’s a tad smut, so if that’s not your vibe, don’t read it. AH OK nervous to post this one but here!
- word count: 1,516 w
summary: you and chris, your least favorite person ever, end up getting sent to 7 minutes in heaven after the game of spin the bottle does not go in your favor…but things between the two of you escalate.
oh and here’s part one of u didn’t read
and part three for when ur done!
You moved in and the door was immediately slammed behind you by another player.
“OKAY YOU TWO 7 minutes starts now…don’t do anything stupid” they chuckled
You stood shoulder to shoulder with chris, both of your backs against the wall, completely unsure of what to do. The room was dark except for the small sliver of light pouring in through the crack in the door. You stole a glance at Chris and could only barely make out his features in the darkness. The silence became too much for you so you cleared your throat hoping any sound would be enough to inspire at least something.
“D’worry.” Chris started, still not looking in your direction. “I’m not actually excepting anything to happen in here.”
“Oh…okay. yeah no me too” you fibbed wiping your sweating palms on your skirt. guess it really was just you who’d read something into that last kiss. stupid. there was another silent pause before he muttered.
“I knew you’d be scared shitless of 7 minutes in heaven anyways”
“what’d you say?”
“nothing…just that i knew you’d never actually do this sorta thing when people weren’t watching you….judging you. not capable of having fun, remember?” He said sarcastically actually looking at you for the first time
“seemed like you were having fun during that last kiss” you taunted with a sudden flood of guts
“Wha—well—guess i’m just a good kisser” he fumbled. had you actually managed to to make chris nervous?
“yeah sure that’s what it was” you mocked
“we’ll i’m sorry a little spin the bottle make out was too hot and heavy for you to handle. pardon me, miss vanilla…probably saving yourself for marriage or some shit”
“vanilla? please you wouldn’t even be able to handle me if you tried” you snapped, immediately being shocked by your own words. The tension in the room was electric. You could hear Chris’s breathing sharpen as he processed your statement. He swallowed loudly in a moment of quiet before responding.
“you’re wrong.” he said flatly.
“huh?” you mumbled, still mulling over your own statement from earlier.
“i said, you’re wrong. I could handle you”
you felt your mouth go dry and you heart start racing as you turned to look at him in the barely there light. he wet his lips with his tongue before chewing on his lower lip as he continued to stare at the floor, his chest rising and falling quickly. your mind was speeding, but one thing was clear. you wanted him. badly. maybe even needed him. and this was the only chance you might get.
“prove it” you challenged staring at him. he turned to look at you finally, his eyes wide. his mouth dropped open slightly looking for something to say, but apparently coming up short. you reveled in this new found sense of power. you had him in the palm of your hand.
“I said, prove it” you stated again, calmly.
Chris’s eyes searched yours for a second desperately before you grabbed a fistful of his shirt fabric and pulled him in to you. your lips smashed together in a passionate kiss before pulling apart, stopping with your faces inches apart from each other, breathing heavily. you waited wanting to give him the next move. he didn’t disappoint. he pushed his lips back against yours and slammed your body up against the other side of the wall, grabbing at your waist hungrily. You were taken aback by this sudden aggressive side of him. It was hot to feel how needy he suddenly was for you. You let in a sharp inhale at the feeling of him lightly biting down and pulling at your bottom lip, giving him a chance to slip his tongue into your open mouth. one of his cold hands slid up higher to the space of your waist between your skirt and top to the exposed part of your skin, gripping at your warm flesh sending shivers down your spine. as the other held the side of your face and neck in place all the while exploring your mouth with his tongue.
You ran your hands up his chest and around his neck to the back of his hair. You felt his breathing unsteady at the new sensation, which made you wrap your fingers through the locks of his hair and pull slightly. He let out a small groan into your mouth that made you feel heat start to form between your legs. But you couldn’t let him know what he was doing to you just yet. you pulled away from his lips just enough to whisper to him
“still no fun, chris?”
“Shut up and keep kissing me” he growled back. you obliged immediately, latching back onto his lips. he ran a hand down past your skirt to your thigh, gripping it tightly. It sent fireworks through your body and you let out a small pathetic whimper. he chuckled at this a little before pushing your hair behind your shoulder with his other hand, giving him access to your neck. he squeezed your thigh so tight it stung as he moved his mouth to your neck. He left sloppy wet kisses all over the most sensitive parts of your vulnerable skin making you moan again and pull at his hair, impossibly trying to bring him closer to your body. hearing your apparent enthusiasm only made chris want more and he began to bite and suck just above your collarbone.
This was too much for you to handle and the space between your legs cried for some sort of friction to ease your desperation. you rolled your hips forward, the one leg still in his grip now slightly wrapped around him, bringing your lower halves slack together and pushed against him harshly. you felt chris’s body shudder against you and the hot air of him gasping against your neck.
“fuck. don’t do that” He said freezing against your skin, not moving.
“what?” you breathed out, still focused on mainly trying to satisfy your own torturous build up, pushing up slightly against him again.
He sucked through his teeth hissing at your movement before shooting up to face you, grabbing your jaw.
“I said. Don’t fucking do that again” he repeated looking distressed. you felt a smirk start to creep across your face as you realized the effect you were having on him.
“Chris don’t tell me just a little kissing got you all hot and bothered” you taunted not breaking eye contact
“fuck you y/n” he said not moving. you slowly leaned back in to kiss him gently, your hips now against the wall a safe gap between the two of you. He kissed you back, seemingly falling for your sudden act of innocence. you started to slip your hands from around his neck down his chest lowering them slowly down his stomach towards his hips. He let out a small whine. you moved one hand past his waistband and down to his clothed crotch, immediately feeling his painfully hard length pressing against his jeans.
“nnggh oh god” he groaned at slight touch of your hand. you fake gasped as you teased
“chris are you hard for me already” against his lips. he let out a strained half laugh
“I hate you” he rasped
“that’s not what it feels like to me” you said softly as you started to palm him lightly through his pants.
“oh fuck” he moaned as he collapsed slightly against you, burying his head into the crook of your neck breathing heavily. His dick strained and throbbed through the layers of restricting fabric against your hand.
“ALRIGHT LAST MINUTE GUYS” a voice shouted from outside the door, reality checking you. You began to pull your hand away and chris latched his onto your wrist.
“don’t stop y/n” he snarled. you made a fake yawn sound planning it painfully cool as you teased him yet again.
“sorryyy times up chris. guess you couldn’t handle it” you said pushing him off of you and toying with a bracelet on your wrist. without warning he grabbed your wrists swiftly with one hand, slamming your hands above your head and kissed you heavily again. he pulled back still restraining you
“oh i can handle you any day, baby” he said before moving his free hand up the inner part of one of your thigh. he stared into your eyes and he slowly slid his fingers up higher to your desperate heat. Finally he reached the thin lacey fabric of your thong covering you. you pathetically moaned again, finally being touched where your body was screaming with need. he rubbed gently against your hardly covered folds. and let out a chuckle.
“fucking soaked for me already and i didn’t even have to do anything”
“sh-shut up chris” you struggled to get out. he let out a small laugh again.
“please if i had you in here for just a little while longer i’d have you screaming my name in minutes” he said before pulling off you just in time for the door to swing open.

uhhh so what we thinking….actual smut part three?

Hi, can i request a headcanon for rottmnt turtles with a gn!reader who loves watching movies and play video games with them?
TMNT Boys x Gamer!GN!Reader Headcanons
Pairings: Rise!TMNT x GN!Reader
Summary: How the boys would react to a S/O who enjoys gaming and movies
Warnings: none
Type: Romantic ❤️, Fluff ☁️
A/N: Sorry this took so long! I'm working on applying to colleges right now, so I'm super behind with requests! Hope you enjoy <3
Headcanons start below cut.
Rise of the TMNT Masterlist
Main Masterlist
Tumblr media
Rise!Raph x Reader
Raph is pretty into games
He's not as good as his younger brothers, but he takes every opportunity he can to bond with you
Due to his size, he can sometimes struggle with games since the controller is so much smaller than his hands
Though he hides it well, Raph is just as competitive as his brothers
Since he sometimes struggles with gaming, he makes sure to always team up with you during games night to make sure he's on the winning team
Raph prefers cozy games like animal crossing or stardew valley over more competitive games
One of his favorite things to do with you is vist each others islands and have animal crossing dates
Aside from gaming, watching movies is one of his favorite ways to spend time with you
Before you started dating, he would drag his brothers and April out to the living room for mandatory movie nights at least once a month
Once you start dating, the two of you have ~private~ movies nights together once a week
He’ll watch just about anything, but he can’t handle horror
His favorite movies are either action movies or Disney movies
Since the two of you can go out to normal movie theaters, the two of you sneak out and watch drive-in movies from the rooftops of New York
Tumblr media
Rise!Donnie x Reader
Donnie is very into video games
If you've seen the purple game, you know how competitive Donnie can get
If you're as good as him, he'll be very excited to have a worthy challenger
His brothers can never keep up with him, so the two of you will spend days locked up in his lab playing video games until Raph breaks down the door and makes you sleep
Even if you’re not as good as Donnie, he still won’t go easy on you
He may love you, but he loves winning even more
Like Raph, Donnie always teams up with you during games night
Not that he can't hold his own, but he enjoys the bragging rights when the two of you absolutely demolish his brothers in super smash bros
Even though he'd much prefer to play video games, Donnie will still watch movies when you ask
Even though he agrees to watch movies with you, you won't always enjoy it
Donnie has the tendency to talk during movies
A LOT
Don't expect to actually hear what's going on in the movie
Donnie will spend the entire movie pointing out scientific inaccuracies and spoiling the plot, especially if it’s a sci-fi movie
Donnie is very theatre kid coded, so I think he would really enjoy musicals
Tumblr media
RIse!Leo x Reader
Leo LOVES gaming
He's not as good as Donnie or Mikey, but he's just as competitive
In addition to be super competitive, Leo's also a very sore loser
He's the type of person to turn off the tv right before someone beats him in Mario Kart
Leo would team up with you during game nights to leech off of you and take all of the credit
He also really enjoys watching movies with you, especially if you’re into sci-fi
Instead of staying cooped up in the lair, he usually just portals you into the back of regular movie theaters where you won’t be seen
Leo also tends to talk during movies
He doesn’t spoil the plot like Donnie, but he’ll ask you questions about the movie that you also don’t know the answer to
He’ll spend the whole movie asking you who certain characters are and why they do certain things, which you also don’t know because you haven’t seen the movie
He also really enjoys movie marathons, so be prepared to spend a week straight watching the entire Jupiter Jim franchise
Tumblr media
Rise!Mikey x Reader
Mikey is the second best gamer in the family after Donnie, but he’s not quite as competitive
Besides Raph, Mikey is the most likely to go easy on you and let you win
Even though he’ll go easy on you, the same cannot be said for his brothers
During game night he’ll make sure to pair up with you and give you some of the credit when the two of you beat his brothers
Mikey is a really big movie lover, so watching movies with you is one of his favorite things
He’ll watch any movie you want, but prefers not to watch horror
His favorite type of movie is definitely Disney movies
His brothers are always hovering when the two of you hang out at the lair, so he prefers sneaking over to your house and watching movies in a blanket fort in your room

They get into a fist fight
Heartslabyul edition
I did these head cannons for fun so don't take them too seriously
Warning: sexual harassment and bullying mentioned(not by the main characters)
Riddle
So this already kinda happened in game but let's say this was a separate incident. Someone dared insult you in his presence and he wasn't gonna let that fly.
"You will apologize immediately or I will have to collar you!"
"You only collar people because you can't throw a punch." - Savanaclaw student
Riddle gets red in the face and nails him square in the jaw. Surprise works in his favor since he wasn't expecting it, causing him to stagger back a few steps.
However after that, let's be honest homeboy is getting roughed up. He has zero street skills.
Ace, Deuce and Trey come to help him and they ask why he didn't just collar the guy
Riddle gets embarrassed as Trey tends to his wounds (top tier mom friend) and says that he wanted to defend your honor without resorting to magic
Trey
So it'd take A LOT for Trey to get physical with someone. He is very even tempered and is the one to usually settle disagreements within the dorm. But he does have a breaking point and that point is reached when he notices another student constantly harassing you. The student makes lewd comments and even tries to touch you. Trey sees red and storms over.
Trey grabs the student roughly. "They said they're not interested. Leave. Now."
The other student shakes him off. "How about you mind your own business?!" And a fight ensues.
Trey actually kicks the guys ass, no magic needed. The other student is left to slink away in defeat.
Trey apologizes profusely and makes sure you're ok. "I'm sorry you had to see that y/n."
Cater
Like Trey, it would take a lot for Cater to get in a fight. He's a lover not a fighter and prefers to charm his way out situations. However he notices that a group of guys are bullying you and even smash your phone.
"Hey WTF is your problem?!" Cater runs to your defense and gets between you and the bullies. He uses his doubles to even the numbers.
The bullies aren't fazed by his doubles and continue their assault.
Cater and his doubles manage to fight them off, but just barely. However in the fight you do wack one of the bullies over the head with a large stick and are very proud of this. Teamwork makes the dream work. Cater looks a little rough at the end of it.
"you ok hon? Things got a little hairy there... We'll go get you a new phone tomorrow."
Ace
This situation literally happens in game so cannon that Ace will throw hands for you. Anyway let's not pretend like Ace doesn't get into some sort of fight at least once a week because he makes smart ass comments. But this time he overhears some other Heartslabyul students talking about you behind your back.
He immediately confronts them and tells them that they're wrong and that they should shut the hell up.
"who even invited you into this conversation? " And a straight up brawl breaks out in the Heartslabyul lounge.
Ace is a pretty good fighter and gets several good punches in before Riddle shows up and collars everyone.
When Ace tells him what started the fight Riddle lets him off lightly while the other students get slammed with triple chores.
Deuce
Like Ace it's pretty cannon that Deuce will fight for you. He is experienced in street fights and though he tries to avoid violence nowadays he still will jump into action if needed. Like when he sees a Savanaclaw student push you out of the lunch line.
He demands they apologize at once but when they refuse he flies off the handle and punches them in the mouth.
This starts a whole lunch room brawl which of course draws over Riddle.
Deuce actually holds his ground by himself pretty well due to past experience but he does feel slightly guilty that he didn't handle the situation better. Still the Savanaclaw student 100% deserved it.
After hearing the cause of the fight and seeing that Deuce is remorseful, Riddle lets him off lightly. Extra flamingo duty.
"I'm sorry I just can't stand to see you treated like that." Deuce says to you afterward

Embezzled
Jaune: Okay. Is everyone here? ...Good. It's time we talk about the elephant in the room.
Ruby: ...E-Elephant?
Jaune: Blake? Could you tell everyone what's going on?
Blake: Thank you, Jaune. It has come to our attention that one of us is committing larceny.
Nora: (Gasps) LARCENY?! OH NO! NOT LARCENY!
Nora: ...What's larceny?
Blake: ...It means someone has been stealing all of our money. It's gotten so bad, we can afford to match Ren's dialogue to ours.
REN: GUYS. PLEASE HELP ME. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DIALOGUE.
Ruby: O-Oh my god...
Yang: Alright. So we're broke. Now there's only one question we have left.
Yang: (Smashes fist on table) WHO THE HELL IS TAKING ALL OF OUR MONEY?!
Weiss: ...W-Why is everyone looking at me?! I'm a victim in this, too!
Pyrrha: Well, yes, but you're also the only one of us who has more lien than all of us combined.
Oscar: H-Hang on, let's not jump to conclusions. I mean, who's to say that Weiss still has her money after cutting ties with her family.
Weiss: Yeah! What the peasant said!
Oscar: Yeah, what the- ...Oh, you son of a-
Ruby: (Holding Oscar's mouth shut)
Jaune: Well, if it wasn't Weiss, then who else would be irresponsible enough to spend that amount of cash?
Nora: ...W-Why are you looking at me?!
Blake: In your defense, Nora, we're not assuming you'd use our money maliciously, or even on purpose. We'd understand since you're not exactly the brightest here.
Nora: (Gasps) Oh, you wanna talk about bright?! Okay, then how about how ironic that you say that when you spend all your time inside and spending all your lien on gacha games! Maybe you should take that lien and buy some mouthwash, Mist Cat-Breath!
Blake: ...It's Miss, not Mist, actually. Besides, at least I have screen time. Nobody even likes you!
Nora: What?! What does that mean?!
Ruby: Guys, don't fight! And besides, don't act so high and mighty, Nora! Most of your fans either write you as an actual cat, or as a covert racist who's into raceplay!
Blake: Oh, fuck off!
Jaune: Alright, alright. Enough about who's the worst girl of both teams. Can we get back to the fact that we have no money?
Yang: Yeah, sure. Let's how about we just make the money back by working some extra jobs between missions? Weiss getting some amount of lien from her folks and me winning games at the bar, it just isn't enough to support all of us.
Weiss: What about Pyrrha? I'm sure you have some model contracts left in you.
Pyrrha: I could, but modeling always felt so... off with the people who work there?
Nora: Then just go private, like those girls on OnlyHunters.
Pyrrha: NORA?! WHAT THE HELL?! DISGUSTING!
Nora: What?
Jaune: Nora, do you know what OnlyHunters does?
Nora: I... know that most models end up doing it.
Weiss: You're... not completely wrong. But I think it would be better for you to look it up instead of us telling you.
Nora: I mean, I don't know what was wrong with what I suggested, but okay.
Yang: Oof... I do not envy you.
Nora: ...OH MY GOD! (Runs to bathroom)
Jaune: And we lost her.
Ruby: Okay! It's time for me to step up as a leader! Blake, go work at the video game store.
Blake: Aren't video games a dying industry?
Ruby: ...Be that as it may, they work in cash and people barely go in these days, so it's a win-win for you! And... maybe you could take Nora's advice and buy some mouthwash?
Blake: ...Really? You're really commenting on my lack of hygiene and abusing my introversion? You really are the best leader, Ruby. ...But if it means bringing in lien, then I don't have much choice, do I?
Ruby: Okay! Yang, Jaune, and Oscar, you three go find a farm and work together on it for a while! With our two strongest members and someone with the expertise of working on a farm, I'm sure we'll get more lien than we know what to do with!
Yang: Makes sense to me!
Jaune: That sounds like a good idea.
Oscar: Okay, but I'll need to get some stuff from around here first. You two go on ahead.
Ruby: That's fine. Nora!
Nora: (Groans)
Ruby: Uh... When you're done in there, why don't you help Oscar, Yang, and Jaune.
Nora: ...Okay.
Ruby: ...Okay then. Everyone else, let's get out there and get some jobs! TEAM RWBY AND JNPOR!
WBYP: (Leave)
Jaune: (Walking out) You know, I can't help but feel like we forgot about the reason for why we're getting these jobs. (Leaves)
Oscar: ...You are such a bitch for not telling them how you basically embezzled them all out of their money.
Ruby: Sh-Shut up! It was for a good cause!
Oscar: Buying Overlook 2 skins is not a "good cause".
REN: YOU WHAT.
Ruby: R-Ren! You're still here?!
REN: YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THE REASON MY DIALOGUE IS GONE AND I CAN'T TALK NORMAL ANYMORE IS BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT VIDEO GAME SKINS.
Ruby: N-Now Ren... Let's not do anything rash here...
REN: TOO LATE. THEY ALREADY KNOW.
Ruby: ...Fuck.

“Wow! You got me! That’ll be your last time!” 
Cringe video game dialogue rang in your ear, with the bright flashing colors of the monitor making your eyes sting in the dark room. The faint smell of stale food and soiled clothes that littered the yellowed carpet drifted into your nose. It was nice, despite the nasty stench if you took in too deep of a breath. But it comforted you, since it was the room of Shigarakis, your boyfriend. At least that's how you felt towards him, he was your rock, the one who made you laugh and cry over nothing all at once. Spilling alcohol over the counter at his home bar, him grasping your waist to steady you when your drunken form almost tripped over the stool, such a small moment that felt like the world to you. You hoped he felt the same. 
The two of you never dared to put a label on your relationship, but it was so much more than  just a friendship; friends don’t grip the hair on your head with such a vice it brings tears to your eyes, guiding your saliva filled mouth down the length of his cock, drawing a moan out of the both of you. Friends don’t look up at the other with the biggest puppy dog eyes, filled with adoration and lust, just like how your mouth was filled with the heaviness of his pulsing head. Friends don’t try to jerk off the rest of what your mouth can’t reach, the veins and velvety skin feeling like heaven in your palms as you try to work him to his release. Friends don’t take in a sharp breath, groaning out loud and long as hot cum shoots down your throat, filling your belly with his burning seed, drawing a moan out of your throat as you work him through his release. “Fuck baby, just like that, your throat feels so good,” Friends don’t say things like that, with his head fallen back on his tense shoulders, eyes squeezed shut as he fucks your throat through his orgasm. Friends definitely don't let that be a regular occurance.
You felt Shigarakis hips buck, letting a small moan tumble from your otherwise silent form. He was leaning closer to the screen, thumbs smashing the console controller with all his focus. The slight movement gave you the relief you were silently begging for, you didn’t know how much longer you could take just sitting on his cock. “Please..” you begged, needing more than the slight movements he wasn’t paying any mind to.
He only seethed in response, telling you to “Shut the fuck up,” and you knew you shouldn’t push him any more or else you would never get what you wanted. His brows furrowed intently on his character, the soft glow of the monitor casted a beautiful hue on his pale, fragmented skin. If it wasn’t for his pulsing cockhead nestled nicely in your cunt, you would’ve swooned by how pretty he looks. Your small hands gripped the fabric of his black jeans, baggy just enough for you to get a tight hold on the denim.
Testing the waters, you slightly moved your hips, caution thrown out the window when need took over. Shigaraki didn’t notice at first, still too engrossed in the fighting combos he was mashing into the controller. You took that as a sign to keep going, circling your hips in a way that allowed his length to hit that sweet spot deep inside you, making you stutter in your ministrations. He felt your trembling body, pleasure shooting through him making his hands falter on the controller and subsequently killing his character from the lack of movement.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Shigaraki spat, making you flinch at the intensity of his voice, opening your mouth to protest, he cut you off. “I told you to stay fucking still, are you too dumb to follow simple directions? Too cock hungry? That’s it huh,” he let out a dangerous laugh, the rumbling of his chest shooting straight to your core.
“You’re too much of a mindless bitch to think of anything other than my dick,” he thrusted up, emphasizing the phallic word. You jerked forward, hands leaving his pants to grip the edge of his desk. Another moan leaving your lips as your only response. Shigaraki hissed at that, snaking his right hand up your naked body, to your throat, the pinky extended, “you like knowing I could kill you right here, with your pretty pussy clenching around my cock, right?” Your breathing constricted with his tightening grip on your throat, feeling the fuzziness in your head as he continued to thrust up. You couldn’t deny him even if you wanted to, the danger of a top villain wrapped so tightly around you, the fifth finger of the weapon mere centimeters away from your throat. The thrill only spurred your moving hips on, grinding your soaking cunt further down on his thick member. He brought you up from the desk, meeting his chest to your back.
“You’re so pitiful,” He breathed against your ear, chapped lips brushing your earlobe, the sensation causing you to moan. You were so terribly sensitive, feeling every long drag of him against your walls, the veins and ridges marking their territory. His cock felt so heavy in you, burning you up from the inside out. Despite how desperate cock-warming makes you after a while, the sensation of sitting pretty on him without being expected to fuck instantly was unlike any other, it dared to have love bloom in your heart. Getting so close to a villain that has killed so many, in such an intimate way, made you want to stay that way with him forever. Knowing that nobody will be able to achieve what you were doing. 
You don’t know what made you stand out from the rest, because no matter how much Shigaraki tried to ignore it, he had a relatively large fanbase of horny and deranged girls fawning over every step he makes. The reality both made him scowl and feel a sense of pride. He still refused to pay any attention to it, though. Which only made you more confused, why you? Was it how ordinary you were, with your stable restaurant job at the time of meeting him, a quaint apartment, living a normal life. Or was it the unusual quirkless factor to you, making you stick out just enough for people to ask questions, but not enough to have any lingering thought. Maybe it was how you have a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, getting caught in the crossfire of a fight between the league and another minor group. Shigaraki himself doesn’t even know why he was drawn to you, drawn to ‘save’ you, to take you with him and cultivate you into his most prized possession.
One thing you did know for sure, was that despite how the two of you devoted yourselves to the other, Shigarakis fear of pure intimacy and love– mixed with your timid nature, not willing to make the first move– kept the two of you in a weird limbo of being ‘just friends.’ Everyone in the league called bullshit, but it wasn’t enough for you two to come forth with your feelings. So, for the time being, you just fucked like rabbits. 
The other hand, not wrapped around your throat, drifted down your body to land on your dripping cunt. His nimble fingers took no time to get to work, breathing out another moan as his thumb and pointer rolled your clit between the calloused skin. Shigaraki was a fast learner, that much was evident in the way he could easily work you to an orgasm with ease. His fingers memorized each sweet spot that had you jerking forward. Rubbing tight circles on you, Shigaraki relished in how easily you melted into his touches, a different sort of pride washed over him, knowing nobody else could pleasure you like he could. 
“Please, more, I’m so close,” You whined, one hand coming to catch on his wrist, not to stop his movements, but to have something other than the fabric of his gaming chair to hold onto. The other hand snaked up his neck, burying your fingers into the mess of powder blue hair. 
“Please..? What more could you need?” He laughed, pinching your clit with a force that had you twitching and pulling at his hair. He groaned at the feeling, leaving his hand on your throat to grip your chin, twisting your head to look at him. Shigaraki loved the look on your face when he was balls deep in you while his fingers played with your cunt. Rosy-pink painted your cheeks perfectly, sweat beading down your forehead to mix with the tears falling from your hazy eyes.
He could only moan at the sight, pulling you in for a deep kiss. You could feel your lips bruising at the aching force he kissed you, unable to do more than kiss back, mind too clouded with pleasure to do anything else. Shigarakis teeth bit your bottom lip, hard enough to draw blood and make you pull away from him in pain. Eyes scrunched up as pleasure and pain mixed in a way your body could have never imagined. “You’re so beautiful..” It was barely a murmur, and his soft words were coupled with the feeling of his tongue licking up the spilled blood from your lip. If you were in any other state you would have been taken aback, but right now all you can think of is how his cock is kissing that spongy spot deep inside of you so perfectly.
Shigaraki’s body tensed up below you, an early sign of how close he was. Your legs shifted, his hands leaving your body to move you into a different position. Then, you were turned around and facing him, legs on either side of his lean frame, tits pressing up nicely against his pale chest. Your head fell to his shoulder, leaning against the muscle as your hips continued to grind down. His hands found themselves on your hips, all eight fingers gripping the flesh with a newfound intensity. Shigaraki made sure to move you in the way he needed, to make sure his cock slipped in and out of your tight walls deliciously. Your clit brushed against the rough patch of pubic hair and that was all you needed to give you the much needed push you to your orgasm. 
Your entire body spasmed, his cock continuing to work you through your release. Shigaraki felt a sharpness, looking down to see you biting his shoulder through a loud moan of orgasmic pleasure. His grip on your hips didn’t let up, even as you pushed against him as you climbed down from your high, the feeling just too much. You were much too sensitive now. “I-I cant, please, no more,” You cried out to him, tears falling down your pretty cheeks. 
“You just asked for more, and now you can’t handle it?” He grunted out, using your body as his own little fleshlight. He couldn’t lie, Shigaraki relished in your cries for him to stop. Knowing he had so much control over your little body, over your tight cunt, over you and your love, the thought was enough to bring him to his own orgasm. Hot ropes of cum spurting from his cock, painting your walls in his white fluid, making sure to stuff you with every last drop. You were shaking like a leaf, still trying to come down from the overstimulation. He felt your breath fanning across his scarred neck, only peeking his eyes open to see your head rested on his shoulder in blissful peace. He couldn’t help the small smile. His hands rubbed up and down your back, feeling the goosebumps under his palms. Cum continued to spill out of you, dripping onto the base of his cock only to get spread on your thighs. 
You placed faint kisses on his neck, grinning softly against the skin. And then, you were back to square one, sitting on Shigaraki’s now flaccid dick. But the thought of leaving the comfort of his arms didn’t even cross your mind, instead choosing to relish in the warmth and touch of the villain.

★ five men and a baby | ot5
▰ genre: fluff (no reader!)
▰ word count: 1.3k
▰ synopsis: soobin is given the responsibility of babysitting his nephew for the first time, and it’s going well but once his nephew is finally down for a nap, soobin decides to leave the other guys in charge so he can go to the store really quick. of course, as soon as he leaves, the baby (he’s actually four years old) wakes up. and txt is struggling… (don’t worry, they are trying their best!)
a/n: enjoy this word vomit :^) or not…
“Yo, whose kid is this?!” Beomgyu hollered over the cries of the toddler, who simply sobbed and rubbed his eyes with small fists.
“Beomgyu, hush! It’s Soobin’s sister’s kid!” Yeonjun answered dismissively. They all had registered crying from their leader’s room during the middle of a Super Smash Bros game in their living room; Soobin had told them he had some errands to run and to stay quiet since the child was finally napping. Too absorbed in their game, hardly anyone actually registered his words. And now that they were all standing around the weeping child, they regretted not having kept their mouths shut earlier.
“Oh, so you mean his nephew?” He asked and Yeonjun groaned, focusing on bickering with his younger before Taehyun clapped his hands loudly between them. That easily made them jump and return their focus to the matter at hand. He still cried and cried.
Kai crept in the room with heaps of his plushies in his hands, in attempts to see if anyone of them caught his eye and he’d calm down. But, it didn’t work. He continued crying and looking around at the men in front of him, perhaps horribly confused and scared and… dramatic, but that was neither here nor there.
“Why is he acting like he’s never seen us before?” Beomgyu wondered and plopped his butt on the corner of the bed, already normalized the issue. Taehyun chuckled.
“Because he hasn’t. Only we’ve seen him. He’s never met us actually,” the second youngest sighed. “You’d think Soobin would have at least let us meet him before he left us with him…”
Kai came to kneel on the edge of the bed near where Beomgyu sat, still set on offering each and every one of his many plushies — that he was okay with sharing. There were certainly exclusions… None worked. With every plushie that was rejected, Kai’s face transformed more and more into distraught panic. The child only shook his head and wailed, wiping his cheeks.
“Alright, nothing’s working!” Yeonjun whined, palming his cheeks with panic. “What do we do… what do we do… I’m good with entertaining kids, not with crying ones…” he whined a loud whine, emphasizing his state of worry.
“Soobin won’t pick up his phone, ugh. I’m gonna kill him when he gets back…” Beomgyu commented and placing it beside him with a pout on his face. That made the nephew cry a little louder. Taehyun came a little closer to the side of the bed, waving his hands reassuringly.
“No, he was just kidding! He was kidding! Look, he’s silly, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” Yeonjun turned to him and dropping his voice to a whisper. “Do something silly. Goofy. Funny, please, hurry.”
Beomgyu eyed around at the ceiling, worried expression taking his features over. “Ah, oh my gosh, I don’t know what to do…”
Taehyun sighed.
“You do something silly all the time without warrant, are you serious right now?”
“You people are making me nervous. Haven’t we normalized stage fright…”
“For performances and recordings, yes! But, this is a child we’re talking about!”
“A crying child, might I add. It’s different!”
“How?! If anything it should be easier!”
Beomgyu sighed with his entire body.
“Why don’t you try it then! You’re the oldest, shouldn’t you have some kind of fatherly power since you’re a senior basically…”
Yeonjun’s eye twitched at that, fingers twitching to make a choke gesture.
“Oh, I’m gonna — ”
“No, come on guys. Please. This is gonna be too violent for the kid. Even for me.” Kai pleaded quietly, now holding his mass of plushies like one giant one and leaning his cheek on it.
“Wait, actually… try doing it. I just wanna see something.” Taehyun suggested methodologically, jutting his bottom lip out like an experimenter.
Yeonjun and Beomgyu stared at each other before the eldest shrugged with a smirk, “well, alright. If you insist…”
He gripped onto the back of the younger’s neck and shook his head, making Beomgyu let out a choked screechy laugh. The child’s loud wails subdued and came to a slow halt, his little mouth twitching slightly upwards. Round, dark eyes blinked in stupor at the cartoonish movements of Yeonjun’s havoc on his younger, who only let out even funnier sounds.
They all gasped, Yeonjun letting go. Beomgyu whined, feeling on the back of his neck.
Without warning, the eldest went in to do it again, earning a hilariously loud scream, and instantly, a wet giggle rang through the air, making them all pause and smile in realization.
The next few minutes were spent hitting each other or roughing each other up — within reason, of course — though for some, it seemed as if they were letting out steam that they’d been holding in.
From sniffles to joyous laughter and even applause, the guys could only smile, feeling rewarded for their hard work, and everything was working fine until one wrong move wrecked everything. It wasn’t even their fault since suddenly, like a switch, the nephew grew bored and began to weep again in an instant.
“What did you guys do?” Taehyun asked with a sigh, standing from above the youngest from when they had been wrestling on the floor to which the others began to argue. It was a loud multilayered bubble of sound: accusations on top of other accusations with wails flowing from the center.
It was getting too much, the little boy even doubling over to yawn in between his cries, and Yeonjun just decided to give up and resort to the last measure he thought would never work.
With a big pout, Yeonjun reached forward and enveloped the boy completely in a warm hug, pressed against his chest, and to everyone’s surprise, it slowed down the waterfall, steadying the tides of endless sobs. Yeonjun even sat back on the couch and fixed him better so his little chubby cheek was on the eldest’s broad shoulder. He ran a soothing hand up and down his back in motions that soon quieted the cries entirely. Everyone simply watched in amazement. Rocking back and forth, Yeonjun cooed and hushed in songlike steps, voice down to a whisper by the time the little boy had shut his eyes all the way in slumber.
Yeonjun sighed in relief, snuggling into the child, as if he himself was just as tired as the boy he was holding.
So as not to risk any noise, the others decided to lay down either on the sofas or on the mess of plushies on the floor. One by one, everyone dozed off with the child, complete serenity in the dorms finally back.
With such peace and quiet, Soobin eventually returned — an hour later, quietly grumbling to himself about his phone’s dead battery before looking up to the sight before him. He could only blink in wonder until his heart grew so full his eyes did just the same with tender, endeared tears. He sighed with how sweet everyone looked, throwing a few blankets around the sleeping bodies around him.
Soobin gently took his nephew into his arms, placing the blanket on Yeonjun, and placing another on him and the child in his arms.
If this was meant to happen every time his nephew came over, he was beginning to think his sister should entrust him with this all the time. Anything for peace and quiet, the leader thought to himself, before officially succumbing to the late afternoon nap.

Helpless part 36, sorry for the wait, here is a long chapter as payment
Nico woke up after three hours with a splitting headache, he felt nauseous, where even was he? He spotted the blonde boy sitting on the chair next to him reading a book, he was surprised that he wasn't off with ten other patients by this point. "You okay Neeks?" Will said putting his book down and walking over.
"I've got a headache."
"Nauseous to?"
"How'd you know?"
"It's normal, I'll go get you some water." Will walked out returning with a glass and handing it to the Hades kid, he started taking small sips from it, letting the cool water run down his throat, when even was the last time he drank water? "Would you be open to talking to someone? I know you don't like opening up to people but it could help."
"Are... are you forcing me to?" Nico asked so softly Will could barely hear him, he sat down next to the whispering boy.
"'Course not Neeks, we just want you to get help."
"Please don't make me talk to people." He whispered back, curling up.
"You don't have to do anything you don't want to." Nico mentally laughed at the irony of Will telling him that when he was being kept in the infirmary which he really didn't want to do. The son of Apollo grabbed the small boy's hand and started rubbing the back of it in circles, "You could try a journal? I've heard that helps."
"Maybe... can we leave this for now?"
"Sure, anything in particular you want to talk about?"
"Can we finish our game of twenty questions?"
"Okay."
"Who's your favorite siblings?"
"Don't you dare tell any of them but Kayla, Austin will kill me if he finds out." Will laughed, "Least favorite of the seven?"
"Valdez, he's annoying as fuck also I fucked him that one time so it just makes everything awkward."
"Wait what?!"
"We were both bored and drunk, we never talk about that day. Anyways, have you ever dyed your hair?" He decided to let Will come to his own conclusions on that one, especially because Leo was too drunk to actually remember it, or he was just a very good actor. He remembered that night, it was the anniversary of when Bianca had died, while he last memories with her weren't the best he still loved her. He still wished he'd died instead of her. He was drinking himself numb, standing outside on the deck in the darkness when Leo walked, well walked was being generous, stumbled down the stairs, so drunk he could barely stay up right. He remembers thinking 'well might as well do it, haven't got anything to loose.' He remembers grabbing his shirt and smashing his lips against his.
"Why are you so drunk Valdez?" He muttered into his ear, trailing up kisses
"None ya business Shadow boy."
"Fine." He pulled away,
"Hey!"
"No sympathy sex if you don't tell me."
"My mom died today."
"I'm sorry."
"Di Angelo I seem to realise you are also drunk, would you care to explain why?" His words were practically just slurs, fuck it, he thought, they'd both just never acknowledge it again.
"My sister died today."
"What? But Hazel-"
"My other sister, Bianca, died when I was ten."
"I'm sorry."
"Can we just fuck senseless I can't take processing this anymore."
"Fine by me." And then that was it, they never spoke of it again and went back to hating each other, honestly it was a disaster that they we're probably never going to unpack.
"Nope, I was going to dye it brown again when I saw my mum but then she didn't talk to me for years so never really did that."
"That is messed up but in a desperate attempt to keep this light hearted we will unpack that later. Now, I will be kidnapping you and dying your hair every colour imaginable."
"Can I ask why?"
"You're blonde, what else would I do?"
"Umm... okay then, have you ever watched Star Wars?"
"Nope."
"What! How? I'm putting Kay or Aussi on tomorrow night and we are binging all of Star Wars together."
"Please no."
"Too late Angel boy." Nico sighed in defeat, shaking his head but accepting his fate.
"Why didn't you tell me you could speak Italian?"
"I didn't know, I mean the song I learnt a while ago but actually speaking it's like how Aphrodite kids can speak French because it's the language of love, Italian's the language of music."
"That makes a lot of sense."
"Speaking of Italy, do you miss it?"
"Yeah, but when I went back there with Jason on the Argo II I didn't really feel anything, everything there changed so much, it barely feels like home now. What's something no one or only one person knows about you?" Will could tell him so many different things, he had so many secrets but was it safe to share them? He could do the easy thing and say that he glows in the dark, he could talk about his mom or the things he does at night when he's sure no one's watching him.
"I can glow in the dark." It was too soon, he'd tell him... eventually.
"YOU'RE A PORTABLE SUNSHINE!!!" Nico cringed at himself mentally but it was so easy to get lost in conversation with Will, just about fun shit, not worrying about everything all the time. I mean he'd had his fair share of hard conversations and lectures from the blonde boy but it was still so easy to relax around him. That wasn't good, he couldn't let his guard down, especially after those kisses. He said he loved him, he kissed him after the first one, he didn't pull away but that didn't mean anything. He would leave after realising that he was worthless and didn't deserve love, he wanted to let him in but his brain wouldn't let him, the only reason he'd said half the shit he had now was because of Reyna.
"Shut up Doom and Gloom." He laughed, messing up Nico's hair.
"Don't think I will, Care Bear."
"Really?"
"You love it, be honest." Fuck, he shouldn't be letting himself get this comfortable, he shouldn't be getting this relaxed with anyone. But it was living sunshine, cinnamon roll, Will Solace, he could trust him... right? Will rolled his eyes in defeat,
"...Will you be my boyfriend...?" Fuck, why did he do that? What if he- his thoughts were cut off with Nico di Angelo, son of Hades, ambassador of Pluto smashed his lips against his own, grabbing his blonde hair. He wrapped his arms around the small boy's neck, pulling him as close as he possibly could until they broke the kiss.
"I'd love that Sunshine." Here goes nothing, at least he'd be happy for a day or two, he didn't want to build hope of Will liking him for any longer than that, but at least there would be some temporary happiness. A moment of silence passed until Nico asked the next question "What's going on with your mum?"
"Well- Umm.." Will struggled to hold back tears,
"You don't have to talk if you don't want to."
"I want you to know, it's just... hard."
"Take a deep breath, it's going to be okay." Will shook before a tear fell from his eye as started to talk.
"Well until I was eight she was amazing, honestly the best parent I could wish for. But then after that she became really busy, working two jobs to pay for the album she was writing. Then when I was nine she dropped me off a my aunts, said it was for a few days, three months later I ran away. Her house... it was a nightmare, constantly called the unwanted child, yelled at for getting in trouble at school and not paying attention. And for anything that went wrong... ever and well let's just say she wasn't the nicest overall. Food once a week and if I was in trouble once every three weeks and well she hit hard. I don't think mom knew how bad she was, at least that's what I used to think, now I'm not so sure. I ran away which is when I found camp, just wandering around aimlessly until I was attacked by symphalian birds and I just ran until they couldn't find me. I was in the infirmary for two weeks, which was when I met Michael... first time someone cared about my existence in a few years. I was claimed the first campfire I went to; I wrote to mom so much those first few months... poured my fucking heart out, never got a goddamn response. Well she sent me a letter yesterday... wanted to meet up next week, don't even know how she fucking found out where I was. Didn't even bother asking the fuck had happened." Will didn't realise he was crying until Nico wiped a tear from his cheek and kissed him on the forehead,
"I'm so sorry."
"I'm going to go there next week and say every fucking word I want her to hear." He said in a broken voice, he pulled him into a hug.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Will just nodded, sinking into the smaller boy's arms, slipping his hands into Nico's.
"Why do you always wear that ring?"
"Bianca gave it to me before she left, it was my mothers; nearly got it stolen at a club a when I was twelve."
"Why were you...?"
"Addicted to more things than I would be willing to admit, easiest way to get them. Cats or dogs?" A look over uncomfort washed over his face as he quickly changed the subject; Will knew he wouldn't get any more information on what had happened, at least any time soon.
"Cats and that is objectively the correct answer, also I already asked you that."
"Firstly, I don't care. Secondly, you're wrong. Thirdly, you are a golden retriever but you like cat's!? How?? Why??"
"Cat's are just better, and anyways you are the definition of black cat but preferre dogs."
"Cat's aren't 'just better' why do you think we have three headed dogs but not three headed cats?"
"Simple, a single cat is already perfect, why add two more when you've already got perfection?"
"Shush, dogs are still better."
"Whatever you say Neeks, just know that your opinion is wrong." Will teased, patting Nico on the head, covering his hand with his mouth to stop any protests. "Who's your favorite Mean Girls character?"
"Regina, what kind of a question is that? How much longer do you think Jason and Piper are going to last?"
"What?"
"His much longer will they last? It's doomed, my bets are another week or two before one of them snaps." Will thought back to the two of them, he didn't know either of them that well but he normally never would have guessed they're together.
"Umm... I haven't really thought about it but I guess another month maybe month and a half. Favorite book?"
"Ernesto, it was impossible to find and even harder to read since it was all in bad handwriting and dyslexia didn't exactly help. Also if I was caught with it I would have to spend months in the church but I still managed to get through it." Nico remembered finding the first page somewhere on the floor and picking it up, desperately trying to find out where it was from. It took him months to find one and about a year to read that one but he remembered the plot word for word. He could remember sneaking out at dawn to read it before anyone else was up, it was like that for half a year, waking up every morning to read it and then hide it from his mum and Bianca, he didn't know how he never got caught. "Do you like being in the infirmary all the time, I swear you never take a break."
"Yeah, I like being able to help people. Also I'm the only healer so I try to not put anyone else in the Apollo cabin have to be in here too much, I mean normally it's Kay and Aussi but sometimes we have other people in here. What's your favorite season?"
"Winter, I love the rain also I hate the sun."
"Heyyy!"
"Sorry Sunshine, it's the truth, when have you ever seen me outside willingly? What's your favorite song?"
"Probably... Pretend."
"Sing it?" Nico said laying down on his lap, looking up at him.
"Tonight my self-respect went out the window
It didn't stay for long
But I figured I'd be wrong
So, don't come close
My heart is rather clueless
I don't know why I do this But just once more
Let's close the door and play pretend
More than a glance
More than a friend
I'll close the door and play with you
Is that what you want me to do I'll do what you want me to do
Hit me up
It's fine, Mil pause my healing
It's all part of our truce
Oh, the sweet smell of abuse So, please don't go
My life is going backwards
No room in it for you But this bed fits two
Let's close the door and play pretend
More than a glance
More than a friend
I'll close the door and play with you
Is that what you want me to do I'll do what you want me to do
Why do I want it too?
I should be running from you
Why do I want it?
Oh, I want it too
Let's close the door and play pretend
More than a glance
More than a friend
I'll close the door and play with you
Is that what you want me to do
I'll do what you want me to do" Nico stared into his eyes, mesmerised by the blonde boy's voice. Will smiled, planting a kiss on his forehead."If you could have one wish, what would it be?"
"I'd bring Hazel's mother back, she deserves to see her again."
"Not your own?"
"I'd rather make her happy; do you play any sports."
"I love playing soccer but there isn't really time with being in the infirmary."
"You mean football?"
"No I mean soccer...?"
"Soccer is football, the abomination of a sport you have here that you call football is rip off rugby."
"I would argue with that but I really can't, there's basically no difference between the two sports. But it's definitely soccer."
"All Americans are dumb and that is the hill I will die on, you kick the ball with your foot, that's why it's called football. Where did soccer come from?"
"I don't know but it sounds better."
"It really doesn't Solace; just ask the next question, I can't afford to lose any more brain cells."
"Rude, but what's your favorite time of day?"
"Sunset, who's your favorite out of the seven?
"Probably Annie, but I talk to Leo a lot, mainly because he's here a lot."
"Can't imagine why." Nico said speaking in fluent sarcasm,
"What's your fatal flaw?"
"Holding grudges."
"How am I not surprised? Also that was the last question."
"Good, I was starting to run out of ideas."
"Same though," Will glanced down at his watch, "Neeks, it's almost lunch time. I want you to try eating just a tiny bit, stop whenever you feel sick, but could you try?" He half nodded, dreading what would come next.

Sorry again for the wait, I got distracted
I'll be honest I was running out of questions at the end
If you're still reading comment your Hogwarts house
May the odds be ever in your favour

I think the reason why you often see more game/show/movie announcements for a random Marvel character you never heard of where DC primarily focuses on Batman and Batman related characters is because...Marvel built more trust with the obscure.
All the way back when they started the MCU, Marvel didn't have the rights to its more iconic, recognizable, and, more important, marketable characters. Spider-Man went to Sony, X-Men and Fantastic Four went to Fox, and even the Hulk was technically owned Universal. By the time the MCU was being conceived, Marvel only had its C-listers and D-listers. No one even HEARD of characters like Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and ESPECIALLY the Guardians of the Galaxy before the MCU. Even characters like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor, characters considered Marvel's big three nowadays, characters who the MCU relied on, weren't as huge as DC's big three. Meanwhile, DC had access to ALL of its characters, relying on its most recognizable IPs like Batman and Superman...And, oh yeah, I guess Wonder Woman was there too...Sometimes.
But the biggest seller was always Batman. Because how could he not be? He looked cool, he had an impressive rogues gallery to make toys of, and is everything for DC as Spider-Man was to Marvel. Both Batman and Spider-Man could sell anything. But Marvel technically didn't have the FULL rights to Spider-Man and DC...didn't bother with its other characters. Batman made bank with his videogames, movies, and TV shows to the point where they could sell a Gotham prequel series to Fox and STILL make a lot of cash. Why bother making a movie about Aquaman or The Flash when it likely won't sell as well as BATMAN. Sure, you got a Green Arrow TV show on the same network as a Superman prequel series, but that didn't change how most of DC's other projects weren't connected to Batman in someway.
Teen Titans was a show that starred Robin, Batman's sidekick. Same with Young Justice. And the only time kids got introduced to other DC characters, it was for a campy show like Batman: The Brave and the Bold where BATMAN teamed up with a hero a week. Which would have been a smart way to bring other characters into the light, but it's still connected strictly through BATMAN. Even now, DC has what is best described as a Batman problem. The Flash was a movie that featured two versions of Batman, one of them bringing in nostalgia through a past Batman movie instead of focusing on an old Flash product. And with the last few years, the only video games were Batman related, with Gotham Knights starring Batman's sidekicks and that Suicide Squad game starring Harley Quinn, a BATMAN villain who goes to kill BATMAN that's actually the same BATMAN from an old BATMAN game.
And yeah...I love Batman. We ALL love Batman. He's the coolest character ever conceived and it's the easiest thing in the world to make a movie about him. It might not be a GOOD movie sometimes, but it's at least a movie that'll make billions. But with this over-saturation of Batman, it left DC unsure if they can make anything big WITHOUT him. Because how can they be sure it'll succeed without their signature character that gave them a shitload of money?
But let's go back to Marvel. Starting a cinematic universe without their most popular IPs was a risk. They SORT of had the rights to the Hulk, but...there was no way Hulk would have made more money than a Spider-Man movie. If they wanted to make a successful franchise, Marvel had to put more faith in its other characters, allowing to make good movies and hope that enough people would be interested to see more. And...it worked. Iron Man was a hit, Thor and Captain America got people interest, and the big pay off was the box office smash that was The Avengers. Everyone started to know these characters and it didn't stop there. Guardians of the Galaxy became popular enough to be another big franchise for Marvel, Black Panther became the most popular Black superhero after Blade (another Marvel character), and people were left BEGGING for Spider-Man and the X-Men to join this universe so they could see their old favorites interact with their NEW favorites. And that just...never stopped. Marvel kept pushing more and more characters to the spotlight, with it paying it off for them.
Before 2014, NO ONE would consider buying a Guardians of the Galaxy game. But due to the MCU's revamping of those characters, it was enough to make people willing to do so. And in a few years, we're getting games based on Iron Man, Captain America and Black Panther, and JUST Black Panther, all because the Marvel had enough faith to turn this C-listers into A-listers. As for TV shows, we've got connected MCU stuff like Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel, but also a really good and imaginative cartoon with Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
Now, to be fair, it's not paying off for Marvel, especially with Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels causing the studio to lose bank. They're even thinking about cutting back on riskier stuff and focusing on their bigger franchises. Which...honestly sounds dumb to me not only because the MCU was founded on taking risks, but also because DC is exactly what you get when you focus on JUST the money makers. We're still getting nothing but Batman and Batman related characters or movies/universes that references nothing but Batman. To the point where I just want DC to retire Batman for a year, maybe TWO tops. Marvel proved that you can make a hit if you let other characters than the most marketable one. Even if it fails like The Marvels did, it's not because Captain Marvel isn't as iconic as Iron Man, it's because the movie wasn't as well-written enough. It was a fun time, sure, but not as strongly written as other MCU films. And that's what DC needs to learn and Marvel to remember: It's not about who's the most popular, it's about strong writing.
Hopefully we get more attention on lesser-known Marvel and DC characters in the future.
