#bc he tells literally everyone he’s the devil anyways

[https-florals]

The reader gets rlly flustered easily and she's so shy, her boyfriend JJ thinks it's hilarious and is always teasing her especially in front of ppl. Most of the time she hits his arm and yells at him but he js never learns his lesson 😭 then like one day he stops doing it and the reader is all like '???' And he says he stopped bc she didn't like it but she secretly loves it so she's a little pouty until he starts it back up 😭

(IF THAT MAKES SENSE ‼️‼️)

this was honestly such a cutie ask and i hope i did it justice with this lil drabble!!! tease jj is my favorite. i've been in such a writing slump lately and this was a nice little prompt!!

one thing about jj maybank- he loves to embarrass his friends. it is quite literally his favorite pastime, and his favorite to annoy is you. when you first started dating, he reigned it in, but lately it’s an unstoppable force. his compliments are constant, his teasing persistent. jj is hooking his fingers in the waistband of your sweats, just a way to stay tethered you in all honesty, but he loves to feel your skin heat and the way you swat him away. 

when the boys and kie surf, you and sarah sunbathe. he is shouting from his board, essentially catcalling you with whoops and whistles. he can’t hear you, but he almost falls off his board watching you groan and cover your face. 

jj is also a downright devil when tipsy- which happens at each and every social event. He’s pulling you down on his lap, holding you still when you try to wriggle out of his arms. for someone who blushes when they get called pretty, you’re damn near having a heart attack when he whispers the lewdest things in your ear. His first response when you roll your eyes at him (desperately trying to maintain your cool) is to tell you how much he likes it when your eyes roll back when he’s fucking you.

“jj!!” you jump up, and scold him. the only thought in his head is that you are very pretty when you’re yelling at him.

he loves this little back and forth, and keeps at it, until a new year’s party where he introduces you to someone as his exquisite girlfriend- you’re trying to figure out when he has ever used that word when he plants a kiss on the corner of your mouth and you go chili-pepper hot. that’s innocent enough, so you just fiddle with your pendant necklace and laugh and let him hang onto you. later, kie is doing a diy photobooth where she has out a polaroid camera and groups of people are lining up for a photo op. jj immediately drags you over there, and you both are just giggling quietly as you watch friend groups be silly and couples kiss for the camera. 

when it’s finally your turn, jj immediately asks the important questions. “sweet or silly!”

“silly, obviously!” his hand instinctively goes to the small of your back, and you lean into his hold so it looks like you’re about to fall. you make a scared face and wrap your fist in jj’s shirt because, truth be told, you’re a little afraid he will actually drop you. he doesn’t though, and when kie counts down and the flash goes off, jj tilts his head down and licks a stripe up your exposed neck. 

you hear a few lewd whistles and catcalls, and you jump straight up and hit him on the arm. “j! what the hell!”

he is grinning like a devil, cheeks a little pink but undeterred anyways. “yeah, baby?”

kie is laughing too as the camera whirs, and she shakes it under a light and lets out another giggle as it develops. jj snatches it out of her hands, and holds it just out of your reach as you swat at his arms, pinch his sides, anything to get that somewhat incriminating photo. in your opinion, it should sit in a drawer. instead, jj is showing everyone around him, saying stuff like “aren’t we so hot?” and, “look at her face!!”

you’re so embarrassed that you could just die, but you take the route of huffing and skulking into the bathroom. you would love to lie and say you didn’t hide there for about two hours, but you’re honest. you hid for two hours.

when you and jj catch a ride home with pope, he’s oddly quiet. his hand stays at your knee, and he’s not touching you anywhere else. not making jokes to pope, and not pressing his lips up against your neck as he loves to do anytime you’re both in the backseat. you don’t really think anything of it, and let your head drop against his shoulder. when you get home, jj shoves the polaroid into a drawer and it isn’t spoken of again.

a few days pass, and you’re convinced something is deeply wrong with your boyfriend. he’s normal enough at home- stage-5 clinger, loud, and horny at all times. but in public, it’s like someone has replaced him with a robot. the most contact you have is his hand on your waist or his arm around your shoulders. there’s no compliments in front of your friends, no butt pinches, no silly whistles. he doesn’t even plead you to shotgun with him when you’re all smoking! you never take him up on the offer, but it’s the thought that counts. the change affects you more than you like to admit, being a little grumpier than average. when you’re in the chateau living room with everyone and jj tries to kiss your cheek, you’re huffing and pushing him away. every comment he makes to you that isn’t the highest praise has you annoyed and ignoring him.

later, when you two are alone with his face pressed to your chest and your fingers lazily twirling through his hair, he makes a joke about being surprised you’re tolerating him.

“don’t be rude,” you snap back, “i’m not the one being super weird lately.” you ask him what’s been going on. he’s dismissive, as he usually is when little problems arise. 

“nothin’, honey.”

“don’t lie to me, maybank.” you tug his head up so he’s looking at you, and his lips pressed into an annoyed line, put off by the fact that his face is no longer up against your boobs.

“explain,” he says, not in a rude way, just genuine and questioning.

you shrug. “you’ve just been weird around our friends lately. not as… like touchy,” you gesture and pat his shoulder.

“ohhh, that!”

so he knows what you’re talking about?

“i just noticed you got kinda like, uncomfortable when i did that kind of stuff. like my jokes, or whatever. i guessed i needed to stop embarrassing you,” he grins sheepishly.

“i’m just shy!” you say defensively with a little whine. “i can’t help it.”

he nods, hand rubbing up your torso to console you. “ it’s okay to be shy, baby. it’s not okay for me to be mean.” jj mimics your pouty lip.

you sigh and smile, running your fingers down his neck. “i like it when you’re mean.”

he immediately pushes himself up so he’s over you, and grin. “really?”

“i’m serious!” you counter, but you don’t stop the way his knee starts to slide between your legs. “i like your jokes, and i like you making fun of me.”

jj pauses. “you’re serious?”

“yeah! i’m sorry, i thought i hated when you’d do that kind of stuff, but you’ve been so boring without it.”

“me, boring? i’m not boring.” to prove his point, you guess, he starts peppering kisses all over your neck. 

“you were boring!” you laugh. “Like, it wasn’t you. i like when you’re a tease.”

“i miss being a tease,” he groans. “i miss you getting all flustered and i really miss coming and finding you when you hide in bathrooms.”

that part does confuse you. “huh?”

“cause,” he kisses you in between the phrases, “you’d be so angry and pretty, and then we’d get to makeout in the bathroom. that’s my favorite part.”

“that’s my favorite part too,” you laugh.

later, when you’ve melted into each other and you’re sitting in the pretty quiet, you both come up with a new year’s resolution: always do the embarrassing things, and worry about the embarrassment later. 

your fun little polaroid no longer sits in a drawer alone, but in fact on your bulletin board, with a bunch of other pictures just as flirty, just as teasing, and just as sweet.

as always, likes, reblogs, and comments are greatly appreciated!!

PROPAGANDA

IS (KAMEN RIDER 01)

1.) You know it's bad when the main female character is both an android built to serve humans and a secretary for the CEO of the android company. That girl is going to spend her entire life justifying the actions of a 20-something year old male CEO as he makes questionable decisions. Like that one movie where the androids become sentient and go "hey, wait, we'd like to be paid a fair wage for our labour!" and she comes out to convince them that no. No they don't. You see, 20-something year old CEO says you should LIKE doing labour for free and whatever he says goes. So she's just going to. Help him convince her race to go back to doing unpaid labour. For bosses that have been shown throughout the show to be abusive. Sometimes even killing their androids. Because a guy wants her to do that. Anyway, SPOILERS; at the end of the show she sacrifices herself for the Good Of Everyone. What does the CEO do? He replaces her with a new one. Just. Makes another android exactly like her. It's meant to be this emotional scene where he tells her about the previous Is but. That's not her. He just. He replaced her. This woman literally just got replaced.

AMBER VOLAKIS (HOUSE MD)

1.) Holy shit thank you for reminding me about Amber. Her nickname that almost everyone calls her to her face every day is Cutthroat Bitch. When she & Wilson start dating there are so so so many jokes about her keeping his balls in her purse & having him whipped & etc etc just bc she’s assertive & confident. & then the whole two-part episode where they fridge her (which is. not quite house’s fault directly but he definitely contributed to it) they make it completely about house & wilson & maybe 2% about HER. I’m still mad forever

2.) After being fridged, she does show up in later seasons! As a hallucination. She shows back up to be the devil on House’s shoulder when he is hurtling towards a vicodin-induced breakdown. Literally only shows up to steer him into making bad decisions (including almost killing Chase (allergic to strawberries) by inviting him to a party where the stripper is wearing strawberry scented lotion that sends him into anaphylaxis)

3.) im so glad someone else submitted amber because she fits so well for this poll but i couldnt get my words out right but im going to try again anyway. i think an important aspect of how ambers character is treated and written for the audience has to do with if a man did what she did, hed be opportunistic and ambitious, if not a bit of an ass, but because shes doing it it makes her 'bitchy'. "cutthroat bitch" "coldhearted bitch" etc is practically her canon alias at this point by how much she is referred to that way rather than her name. she is probably the most humanized out of wilson's canon relationships and its mostly because theyre paralleling her to house. she deserved so much better she deserved the world and more

Danny's memory of Mike being at his graduation in LW ch. 16 was so transformative for me for NO reason.... ANYWAY

Context for the first image is Danny packing for college and saying bye to the Fazgang... I realize that cutting the rest of the images left that out. And by proxy the second one is Mike's appearance at his graduation!

These were supposed to be the ending parts to a longer comic-looking part that included the rest of the chorus of the song, but I hated it so much!!! You can literally tell that I spent so much more time on the second part but it's the one that's more emotional anyway??? So I'm ok with it lol

On a wayyyy more personal note my little journey drawing and writing for these two has been so so so healing for me. I just moved up to University and dealing with that has been as tough as it probably is for everyone else, but this has become my outlet for it I guess! Mike just being The Way He Is helps a lot!! Especially the way he treats Danny and Max in canon. I guess I imprinted on Danny because he's technically the series' everyman, but his anxiety and gentleness is something I relate to. I, too, was once a sixteen-year-old trying to hold down a job in food service... I'm really glad I came back to this series when I did. I would re-read Devil's Spine every few months as a pick-me-up bc I love Mike in that fic, but coming back and re-reading the series as a whole (and as an adult with a better reading comprehension lmao) gave me a new appreciation for the rest of the cast, too, and especially Danny obviously. My appreciation for the whole series and for its wonderful author knows no bounds!!!!! I can't put into words how much love I have in my (albeit small) being that is directed at KGA and @charlieslowartsies; I have to stim it all out but you can't see that, so I have to try words anyway 😭

HEY. Just because I wrote this big-ass confession or whatever doesn't mean I'm done with making content for the KGA!!!! I have a to-do list and by god I will do maybe at least half of it!! I just wanted to put my personal shit on the Really Good artwork instead of the shitposts that are coming down the pipeline ;P

The glass/mirror thing is that boy who basically makes a friend with his reflection and then the reflection tricks him into making a blood sacrifice to let him out/swap places. Then the mirrors eat literally everyone in that town.

That's the more important parts to know at least. Happy listening hope this helps, cause it's about to get a whole lot more complex.

thank you SO MUCH i was really struggling to wrap my head around it

so i'm on s3 e6 now, and i think i've gotten the hang of it??

- 3 months ago was a Big Scary Event

- evacuation protocols were enacted and all the patrons + staff + The Curator Themselves did in fact enter the shelters.

- 3 months of supplies are gone, so everyone was sheltering as normal up until pretty recently.

- the silent man (implied to be the dude w a voice like chocolate and coffee and honey, aka the Devil Himself??) picked up Audio and carried them around for a bit

- NOTE: Audio was really fuckin confused about how the silent man got in, given the Lockdown and all

- Audio leads the silent man on a merry little tour, telling him all about a bunch of exhibits including The Mirror

- said mirror contained a malicious presence (Evil Mirror) who tricked a kid into performing a Mirror Ritual of some kind

- the outcome of Mirror Ritual was that the entire population of Mirror Town vanished, presumably swapping places w Evil Mirror entity (???)

- poor kid wrote it down, noted that he could put his hand through a mirror, the mirrors looked "hazy", and eventually entered??? the mirrors???

- we know that the kid wasn't initially eaten by mirrors bc the journal was found at the scene in the Real World

- anyways back to the plot

- so now the Devil Himself, at some point in the RECENT past, heard this from Audio and performed the Mirror Ritual. we know this bc of the faded drawings on the mirror. he then shattered the mirror (so it couldn't be?? undone directly???? or smthn????)

- the Devil Himself left Audio in the auxiliary security booth and dipped

- the Mirror Ritual ate the population of the Museum. Mother was able to put her hand through the broken mirror shard, and the mirrors in the shelters look "hazy". so Audio and Mother are still within the range of the ritual. (does this mean they could theoretically enter a mirror and get eaten too??)

- Head of Restoration has been trying to reach the Museum in the "Real World" via radio. Audio seems to be under the impression that if they (audio and mother) can respond to Head of Restoration somehow, an established line of communication will help Audio and Momther rescue the population of the Museum, which once again, includes the entire staff + patrons + Curator Themselves, all who have been eaten by the mirrors.

- the Devil Himself is currently unaccounted for. i'm not sure why he did the Mirror Ritual. was it to free an entity from Mirror World?? to free *himself*?? to rob the museum of something?? or is he just fucking with the museum staff bcs he's mad at them for misrepresenting him in the story ab the guitar?

- Audio has plugged into the Museum mainframe and is still figuring that out, while Mother has acquired a Bracelet of Invulnerability

- i think mother should build a brass and clockwork body for Audio so they can have their own independent ambulatory extension of themselves. i think that'd be neat.

mandela catalogue story thoughts

alright time for more rambles, im gonna explain my understanding of and best guesses about tmc, if anyone sees this who things i got anything wrong or who knows more, please tell i wanna know. so in 1981, the first reports of alternate encounters begin, and the first basic understanding is formed about alternates, with the first warnings broadcast. a couple years before this, a young mark heathcliff is made his "scary night" story, around the intruder, which may have been the first ever report or sighting of an alternate in any form/capacity. then, in (as far as i can tell) a seperate incident, in september 1992, cesar's mum was attacked by an alternate, and so cesar takes her to the hospital and asks mark to head over and turn on the cams. mark does so before leaving, but the alternate was still in the house at the time and followed him home, where it then sat outside his door for days until he y'know, unalived on 15 september 1992. After mark's prolonged absence from school, one of his teachers alerts the police with a voicemail, and thatcher heads over to investigate, and discovers mark's body on 21st september 1992. sometime after this, the situation with the murrays occurs which results in baby adam (would be 3 or 4) being abducted, lynn committing die and jude disappearing in one way or another. personally im running into a lot of what seems like conflicting information in/about this section so i cant yet clearly understand the timeline, but that's the result. somewhere along the line, an investigator attempts to check out the house but 'pussies out', however a volunteer is able to set up some in house cameras, though despite what we see in intruder alert, thatcher doesnt see any anomalies with the findings and so has to conduct an investigation with weaver. when they check the house out, the alternate created by adam whilst watching stanley on the tv is still there, and kills weaver during the investigation. thatcher then flees for the station, but the alternate follows him there, and assaults and assimilates him as we see in the end of 333, though thatcher doesnt seem to be physically injured by the encounter, only mentally. following this, thatcher goes into hiding in an attempt to escape the alternate, and because of this, we think everyone else assumes he is dead.

in 2007, mark's sister, sarah, who was only 3 at the time of mark's death, starts the bythorne paranormal club in an attempt to understand more about what happened to her brother. adam, now 19, joins the club as well, bc he freaky as fuck idk what the hell going on with that guy im ngl, but i think the abduction might have a part in why he's like this, and he might have been under the guise of even gabriel/false shepard/literal devil himself when he was missing, although that said he failed the toddler assessment review before this even happened so i dont think we have enough info yet. anyway, him and sarah conduct their first mission on 14-15 july 2007, in which adam makes shit get crazy and sarah decides "yk what, ill just do admin and look at results instead of getting them myself", and so adam hires jonah as his new partner. vol 2 then takes place in mid january of 2009, resulting in the death of jonah but not adam, who walks for miles in the cold so he can steal his dead friends car lmao. and i dont fully understand what happens with him and the guy at the end of 4 tbh, thats the one part i cant come up with a theory for. all i know is that he is absolutely the mandela prophet.

meanwhile, evelin looks through dave's tapes, and i think the reason dave always wears sunglasses is because they protect from the effects of the alternates interacting with those tapes. knowing that evelin wouldnt have looked at these tapes with shades, he is kinda forced into firing her,or at least not being around her too much, as she could theoretically summon an alternate to their location at any time with the wrong stimuli. however during this time, dave has been speaking with a friend named o'brien, who has effectively been opening dave's eyes to the potential wonders of life outside of chasing alternates, and because of this dave decides to basically retire from the alternate stuff. eventually he agrees to meet o'brien outside of the church, to intiate whatever post-alternate plan they had been working on, and so he phones thatcher on short notice and just tells him that he's leaving. imo this is going to be a big fucking problem for thatcher, as he doesn't know nearly as much as dave did about alternates and might struggle to go alone, with potentially only evelin to work with. oh and also there is now an all powerful being after him. either way, dave goes to meet o'brien outside the church, however to his absolute fucking horror, o'brien was actually gabriel all along, posing as a friend to deter him from learning too much about the alternates, and most importantly luring him right into gabriel's trap - despite his wealth of knowledge and experience with alternates, he still managed to follow the shepard. ok i definitely missed some detail stuff but i think this gets the majority of the important plot points, even if theyre probably all horribly wrong lmao. if anyone wants to correct me on stuff or tell me things i might not know, go ahead!

tuesday again 6/21/22

i never have to go back to the high school or possibly the town where i went to high school Ever Again bc my youngest sibling has graduated and im going to ride that high as long as possible

VERY long mobile game review, tried to be objective about quality of life stuff and how successful certain mechanics were but (spoiler) didn't like this one very much

listening i am being true to the original concept of this section, which was "what song have i had on loop this week bc it does something to my brain, even if it's kind of goofy or cheesy, instead of cherrypicking my shuffle for an indie song i think more people should listen to."

anyway this is lion by saint mesa, which was not originally written for a tv show as i first surmised but has been featured in several. if i can imagine some sort of long-anticipated trading caravan lumbering toward a watering hole somewhere in a blasted wasteland (even if it is extremely not the story the lyrics are telling me) i'm going to put that song on loop, perhaps for an entire hour of a six-hour drive.

reading fallow week

watching i watched Legend (1985, dir. Scott) in two chunks, about half last week and then the rest when i got back from traveling this week. i find myself consistently intrigued but lightly disappointed by scott's films. however, his films' visuals are fun in a way i appreciate. more of this please. "oooh the noir enjoyer likes heavy use of light and shadow and literally this exact framing in anything" thank you i am already aware

tom cruise would have been better served as the puckish but amoral fairy prince The Gump, i feel. like sure. he's a prettyboy and also a feral wild boy, and he does do the early parts of the movie when he doesn't talk very much very well... that felt a bit mean. he does a very good person who lives just outside of civilization and regard it all with some bemusement and feels no particular need to follow it. the film quickly snaps him into the mold of a silver-tongued rogue who can charm or squirm out of anything, which feels off. bring back feral tom cruise. the princess also has an odd moment of wits, which is an odd contrast with a very clumsy lie in her earliest scene, where she steals cookies from her old nursemaid and then tells baby tom cruise oh no she absolutely made them herself :) there isn't much on-screen character development for her between these two scenes, just being dragged away and kidnapped.

i chilled the fuck out a lot after realizing this movie was far more interested in the costumes/sets/visuals than any theme more complex than light vs dark. most irritatingly, the ending does not seem like our loving pair learned a single goddamn thing from this whole escapade or that it changed them in any way, she's still a spoilt irresponsible princess, he's still head over heels for her. this movie is not interested in the corrupting force of monarchies vs the corrupting force of i think the literal devil??? simply not what i am looking for in a film, and i did not see this at a formative enough age for the campiness to really nest itself into my soul, although i do appreciate it.

love a good Waltz that Corrupts. the visual language of tim curry’s lair is quite striking- the use of light and shadow is doing a ton of work to suggest more detail than there actually is, and make sets look more complex and larger than they actually are. you simply do not get fantastic grandiose sets like eighties fantasy movie sets any more.

tim curry was terrific, the creature design was terrific, everyone is always slightly sweaty and covered in glitter, i liked guessing how the costumes were put together. there are worse films to spend two hours with.

how'd i come across this: watched it as an edgy teen

-

playing it's time to dissect another mobile game that almost worked for me but didn't. i've tried to be objective and really get down into why the mechanics made choices i didn't like, even though i don't play a ton of this genre. the last big collectible trading card gacha-ish games i played on mobile were dragalia lost, something that was very similar to panzer waltz but i can no longer find the name of, world flipper, and sinoalice. not my very favorite genre of game, but i do dabble.

anyway i came across dislyte bc they got an investment recently and have an extremely aggressive and kind of shady marketing campaign.

here's the good: it's extremely fucking pretty. the character design and costuming/props are great, there are so many unique animations! the soundtrack and background music are fun, if in a slightly generic clubby top radio hit kind of way they're probably going for on purpose, and the little schtick of the menu music being announced by "dislyte excerpts radio" is funny to me. an interesting thing is "reviews" of characters that anyone can leave in their own separate little menu (which are all thirst comments basically, y'all down CATASTROPHIC for the jackal man), and the little "% of people chose this!" when you get points to assign to attributes. i think that specifically is a neat touch that will iron itself out eventually and be more representative of what people over time pick, but also: sometimes the favored build isn't very good for what you're trying to do with a character.

the bad: incredibly poor tutorials and menu design, it's a glorified autobattler.

tutorials, quality of life kvetches: i still do not understand very basic things such as "how to change who attacks first" and "what the fuck Does elemental strategy like Actually Do". weird fuckin things are overly complicated, like levelling up the little trinkets you can equip to a character that are a mechanic in every collectible gacha card game ever. there's a lot of different materials. there's a lot of different kinds of trinkets. there's some suggested trinket builds but heavy reliance on percentages AND percent of a change, which i fucking hate. tell me in simple words like "3x damage if this effect is active". i don't want to do mental math for your game and i do video game stats for a living.

on a related note, like many other collectible card games, this is "menus the game" but the "main" menu is laid out across four goddamn different screens.

on a related note to that related note, these menus are DEEP. you can get four or five menus deep on the character pages (i am not redownloading to double check). i should never be five menus deep into anything at any point. combine shit.

point three or whatever, everything is so fucking tiny. i have an iphone 12, which is a reasonably large modern smartphone. many many phones are smaller. i should not be holding my phone four inches in front of my face trying to make out which glyph is which because i can't zoom. (image)

actually point four bc this screenshot compilation reminded me: you have two different types of menus and ways to open them just on the individual card page: the bottom bar, and the tiny icons on the side. that's not even all the tiny icons, you have to hit the arrow to expand and see them all. that's simply too many options and it's confusing and hard to find things.

combat: again this feels like it started out life as an autobattler and then pivoted really late. fighting is simply tapping a button to activate an ability. there's no timing element, there's no real strategy behind saving up your abilities and gaming the cooldowns. you also start off with no cooldown on any abilities, which is very weird and makes it so you can just fucking mulch a level without being touched once if you're levelled up enough. if you're not levelled up enough, you die Extremely quickly. i truly don’t understand if i'm supposed to have a strategy? this video if i've timestamped it right should let you watch the first actual team battle. thrilling!

length of time for combat: everything in this game has a fancy little animation that is very pretty but takes forever. the game itself suggests enabling 2X battle speed. this is not a game you can bust out and play a level in line for groceries or something, and it's not really meant to be, but the length of time it takes to get through a level is on the upper limit of what i expected from a collectible card game and often strained my patience, especially in multi-stage battles. there doesn't seem to be a way to auto-run through the levels yet. i also don't find that kind of game intrinsically fun to play, so it's unlikely the inclusion would make me want to continue playing, but it's odd that there isn't that option when it's there in so many other games like this.

conclusion: i seem to have slammed into a hard pay to play cap at the end of chapter eight after three days/idk ten hours of on and off play. so this is where I leave it i think. for the next Big Update i would expect the menus to be radically overhauled and significant quality of life improvements to be made, especially with regards to inventory, but the art and music is not enough to make me keep playing until then. mostly because i didn't pull a hot butch-of-center lady i fell in love with, unlike genshin which almost immediately gave me beidou.

making lemon garlic paprika chicken. slightly too heavy on the lemon. no pics all gone.

after some vigorous discussion with my sister about saturation and hue, swapped a bunch of shit in and out of frames and hung up some shit in my living room. they are on either side of the front windows, which makes this awkward bc my view is very doxxable.

anyway, because i think i'm funny and isn't that really the most important thing in life when you think about it, amusing yourself, red for port: an 8x10 photograph acquired at my favorite used bookstore/ephemera/florist in the world, a black canary poster acquired from a free comic book day Several years ago, a terminator: dark fate poster i grabbed on the way to go see the charlie's angels reboot but never actually got around to seeing terminator: dark fate until last year.

blue for starboard: flyer from a show i went to matted Much bigger than it actually is, signed poster from my favorite roommate's cousin's band, poster from a show i did Not go to bc i ended up having to work but i do think it's one of the better posters wmua ever did

Extra analysis for how "Curses" relates to c!Quackity!!! The first verse is like his relationship with Sapnap/Karl in general, from the last time el rapids was plot relevant to the building of Las Nevadas. fire metaphor go brrr

First part of verse 2: I feel like this part is him being super paranoid, being scared about the whole revive book deal (bonus points for ghost mention!). The start of his spiral sort of?

Second part of verse 2: This is him spiraling even more, the cobwebs in the corners thing representing how he begins to neglect everything except his goal, basically the side effects of his intense tunnel vision. "The backyard's full of bones" represents his constant thoughts about the past, especially of those who have wronged him, fueling his desire for revenge. The singer begging for an un described person to stay with them is him desperately trying to get someone to stay and not forget about him like everyone else seems to have from his POV. This is probably post kinoko kingdom discovery

Chorus: Devil symbolism. j schlatt . When the singer says "us", I would interpret that as Quackity being paranoid Las Nevadas will be attacked. The "us" is him and the very land he's built.

Verse 3: The "Tired old machine" line could reference a couple of things but I think it's one thing in particular - Quackity's feelings about the fact that he's somehow still alive, whether it be surprise, resignation, or both. The eye thing is kind of obvious with the whole. Scar. But I hc that he has a glass eye that functions like a magic 8 ball bc I think that's cool and would give this lyric more meaning

Last chorus: Same thing as before about the first line, but now he is desperately trying to be validated. "Tell me I am good enough"? Sorry but only mentally sus people say that bestie. And the cliffhanger on "make a mercy out of (redacted)" is him eventually coming to the realization that war has ruined all of them and that none of them really deserve this, but going on with everything anyways just to survive.

AHHHH ur literally so right omg.. this is epic.!!! I love my mentally sus morally gray Minecraft blorbo..

[moonlightsolo]

could you do a little series on harry styles's songs about youuuu???? feel like it would be cute plus you're a phenomenal writer!!!!

harry's songs dedicated to you

wc: 800-ish??

pairing: harry styles x female reader

warnings: kinda suggestive, really fluffy and kinda funny not gonna lie

note: i had so much fun writing this. thank you for the compliment ilysm anon <3

harry’s songs about you….

obviously you were his muse for both of his albums

hs1 you were secretly dating

(mostly a friends with benefits type of situation)

and during the fine line era you were both officially a very serious couple

“harry styles and mystery girl step out for a bite in london!”

about a month later, “harry styles spotted with the same girl in los angeles!"

the news headlines could go on and on....

everyone was curious about who harry based his songs off of

and now they know!

“source closed to styles says: “they’ve been together for a really long time. they’re really in love”

back to the songs!

only angel is an obvious one

the sexy, mysterious person that harry was pining over in this song

it made you feel powerful

you’re the girl who’s an angel in public eye and “a devil in between the sheets”

that song describes the fire in the beginning of your relationship

the touchy, can’t keep your hands off of each other, kind of relationship

aka the highest your libido has ever been

now woman…. that song literally made you fall in love with him

well this is before told him that you fell in love him…it was a secret for a while…

but now he knows and it’s mutual so it’s fine. anyway!

harry poured his feelings for you into this song

how you spent the first night at his house watching romantic comedies on netflix

and then he cherished every curve and dip of your body in his bed ;)

but your relationship kinda fell apart for a while

because harry was seen with countless models (he’s stupid)

soooo you ended up wanting to take a break bc you felt the feelings weren’t mutual with him

(but they were….y’all were just too scared to tell each other)

then you somehow got a boyfriend :(

that wasn’t harry :(

and you felt happy but still unfinished???

bc how could you ever replace harry f’ing styles.

so he finished this song by writing it about being envious of the man that won you over

honestly, h was so distraught he thought he lost you forever

then the other songs that weren’t really about you, just his life in general.

carolina (rolls eyes), sign of the times, kiwi, ever since ny….

two ghosts aka both of your sad souls being without each other

h was inspired to write meet me in the hallway about you two meeting again after being apart for a few months

you saw each other in the hallway of your apartment complex for the first time :0

gasp!! such a coincidence!!

as soon as you got home, you broke up with your bf over text.

then harry let you listen to his finished album and you cried like a big baby

he consoled you with kisses n cuddles

you told him “i love you so much” in a fit of pure emotion

and he says that he loves you back (yay!!!!!)

you guys spend every minute with each other

you ended up moving in with him

you travelled with him to nyc, la, everywhere!

after a few years, harry started writing fine line

now this was a more sex positive! female power! divine woman! kinda album

watermelon sugar is a no brainer- we all know what it’s about

cough the female orgasm cough cough

specifically how he likes going doooown….town…

adore you, cause duh… he adores you??!!?!

(cherry just does not exist in this scenario)

she bc you’re the girl in his daydreams

aka the woman of his DREAMS

sunflower is just all his happiness from you poured into a song

and you remind him of sunflowers :’)

and the lil addition of, “kiss in the kitchen like it’s a dance floor”

you guys literally dance in the kitchen while making dinner

and when you heard that lyric you almost died

you definitely cried bc it’s such a small intimate thing he added

tpwk because harry is the kindest person in the world

fine line and falling bc emo harry came out

mostly bc y’all like to argue and harry gets upset

and just writes sad songs to cope with his problems

but he does have a therapist so that also helps!

(you do too, don’t lie)

let’s just say you’re literally his inspiration for his albums

hs3 is gonna be a whirlwind especially

bc there’s a heavy ring sitting pretty on a specific finger on your left hand ;)

Yo

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU

I saw that your ask box was open and I was like "it's my time to shine😀✨"

ANYWAYS

I've been watching a lot of the period simulator on your boyfriend challenge on tiktok and it had me thinking.

Could the tough Monster Trio handle a level 5 period cramp? In fact why not crank it up to level 10 which is a labor pain. I low-key high-key need a whole headcanon of this idea.

♡ Summary- reacting to the period pain simulator

♡ Characters- Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Vinsmoke Sanji

♡ Warnings- cursing, period pains but it’s nothing we girls aren’t use too sadly 😔

♡ UMMMM YES, I absolutely loves this idea so freaking much omg. It’s amazing I’m literally in love. Also I had to watch some videos just to get a general idea of the simulation and omg boys are literally so weak…..

Monkey D. Luffy

- does this man not feel anything!? Like seriously where the pain???

- you can blame his devil fruit for this, it’s not that he doesn’t feel the pain it’s just very dull. Like if you bring it up to 10, it’ll probably be a 5 to him

- when it comes to the pain, Luffy’s the type of boy who would just stand there confused.

- bc the pain is a dull, he just confused. Definitely bending over him pain and grabbing his stomach but besides that he just confused

- you on the other hand, was very disappointed. You hope for somewhat of a more extreme reaction form him

- compared to everyone else, Luffy’s just confused. But of course it’s not like Luffy has had any knowledge of period before hand

- you definitely had to spend most of the time explaining just what it is and how it’s supposed to feel.

- it wasn’t honestly even you who was the only one who was disappointed, the whole crew honestly was. Both you and Nami were the ones practically craving his reactions

- and of course when y’all didn’t, Nami was really about to just kick him the balls. At least that would cause the reaction yall wanted

Roronoa Zoro

- definitely talked a lot of shit. Saying that he can handle it and that it doesn’t hurt that bad a getting kick in the balls

- you can’t tell my Zoro is not that type of guy. He’s not saying the period pains don’t hurt he just thinks it’s not as bad

- he was quick to eat his words tho. As soon as you attach the machine and turned it up to like 2 Zoro was freaking out.

- Zoro could probably take a few of the higher levels like 7 or 8 but that's it, any more and he'll actually pass out

- you were enjoy the whole thing to, having someone as big and strong as Zoro bend over in pain over something that you experience every month

- he’ll send a lot of mix signals too, telling you to turn it off yet the go one higher. He just mostly wants to see if he can take the pain

- now Zoro knew of periods, but he’s a guy so he only knows so much and now knowing what the pain could be he’s definitely a lot more understanding.

- but yeah zoro would rather fight like 100 people than every do anything like that again. So it’s definitely safe to say that his respect for women in general has just gone up 📈📈

Vinsmoke Sanji

- gotta save the best for last!!

- now sanjis knows all about periods so he’s fully aware of just how painful it could get. And he definitely doesn’t want to experience the pain anymore

- but curious got the best of him, and he wanted to see what the pain for girls is really like. Oh boy, he quickly regretted it

- you put the simulator on like 3 and Sanji’s practically crying. The poor boy didn’t think it would be this bad

- if you bumped it up anymore he definitely would of passed out.

- for Sanji the pain wasn’t as dull as Luffy’s nor was he as strong as Zoro, so the pain was very strong for Sanji

- he definitely underestimated the pain. Like he knew he was bad but he didn’t think it was that bad. And taking pity on him you didn’t crank it up like you did with Zoro and Luffy

- when you try it to comfort Sanji, he was in shock when you were able to bump it up to like 8 and still act fine.

- I mean Sanji has already had respect for women but now he just respects them so much more especially when they are in their periods

- so when y’all are in y’all’s periods one the ship, Sanji will practically stop the world just for y’all.

Ok so I was wondering if you can do a headcanon for Tokoyami, Tenya, Bakugo and if anything a character of your choice and how they would react to Minetta being a perv and saying...weird fetishizing shit abt they Black S/O? I had this in mind for a while lmao 😓🤛🏾

A/N: The fetishizing shit towards black people has got to go. It’s not a compliment, it’s gross. It’s 2020 and I’m over it. I say we start eradicating people who thinks it’s cute :) I’m sure the boys would have the same idea <3

Warning: cussing, some uncomfortable/grody comments that teeter on sexual assault so please be careful!

Tokoyami Fumikage: 

so it’s just a regular degular day at school and you’re going about your way through the halls 

you weren’t even doing anything extraordinary, just getting some books out of your locker before class

then mineta pops up, leaning against the locker, and looking you up and down with a weird smirk on his face

“hey hot stuff” he says with a wink. “what’s got you looking so voluptious on a tuesday morning?”

you’re already aware of what type of bs mineta is on, but you didnt wanna be mean so you just tried to excuse yourself from the conversation, but he doesnt give you the chance to exit 

he keeps swining around these weird compliments

“i couldn’t help but notice you across the hallway, my chocolate king/queen”

atp, you’re feeling really uncomfortable and you want out, but you have no idea how to go about it without coming off rude 

so you kinda just stand there with a sick feeling in your stomach as mineta tries to put moves on you 

but that all stops when the hallways turns dark and everyone in the room feels the hair on their arms stand

floating over your head like a demon from the seven pits of hell is dark shadow who looks two seconds away from going ballistic

out from behind you, tokoyami stands there with a glare that says:

you better come correct or you finna come up missing

you don’t notice it, but mineta sure as hell does

you’re taken aback when the grape dude just about scurries off for his life but you instantly forget about it when you notice tokoyami behind you and dark shadow nuzzles against your head

he smiles and greets you as you tell him how happy you are to see him, totally forgetting about the mineta situation

y’all go about your regular day undisturbed 

meanwhile, everyone is fucking scared shitless bc they were two seconds away from witnessing a murder scene 

tokoyami don’t play when it comes to you 

Iida Tenya: 

everyone thinks iida is a goody-two-shoes guy who solves his problems through logic and reasoning

and i mean...he does

but this man can get down right scary when someone he loves is threatened

this nigga was out here contemplating murder at 15 bruh

anyways 

there was a moment in time you were going through a growth spurt and your uniform was a bit to short/tight on you 

it wasn’t anything inappropriate but you had to order a new set of uniforms and they wouldnt come in until next week 

you weren’t pressed over it until mineta had the bright idea to start whispering some weird shit to you during class

“hey sweet stuff. i bet you’d look even better in my clothes”

you shoot him a glare. “shut it, dirt bag” you mutter under your breath

“why the hate? i’m just tryna get a bite of you. bet you taste like a hershey’s bar” he flirts, wiggling his eyebrows

you just roll your eyes and focus on taking notes

mineta tries to say something one more time before the class freezes as iida snaps a pen in half 

aizawa looks at him w a raised brow “is everything okay iida?”

“tenya?” you question

he shakes his head and apologizes for interrupting class before retrieving a new writing utensil

class ends and most of your classmates file out leaving you, you bf, and mineta

mineta tries to say something slick one more time

“so if you ever wanna fulfil any sexual fantasies about being conquered then you can hit me u--”

just as you were about cuss the pervet out of the country, iida gets ups, stares down at mineta with a glare that could kill 

the engines on his calves start to warningly rumble and theirs a dark look on iida’s face you havent seen before 

“i suggest you leave in the next five seconds, otherwise i’ll have to put you through a crash course on how to have manners when addressing my s/o”

it’s a chilling threat and mineta is out of there before he even finishes his sentence 

once he’s gone, the mood sort of lightens up. iida’s still a little pissed, but he’s quelled once you give him a soft kiss on his cheek

Bakugo Katsuki: 

idk what the hell mineta was on 

but RIP him bc bakugo’s s/o is not the one to be messed with 

and he learned that the hard way 

you were doing some extra training to practice a difficult move 

you thought you were alone until mineta showed up on the side looking like a walmart brand pimp c (rip) 

without even a hello, lil dude comes in with some mess 

“wow, so you’re out here sweating but you still look delicious. black don’t crack, huh”

you pause 

...bitch wtf?

you instantly shut that shit down

“step away from me before i mop the floor with your ass, you purple ballsack” you warn

he deadass thinks youre trying to flirt back 

“woah, calm down. no need to get all fiesty lil mama~”

“mineta, i will step on you if you don’t go somwhere ong”

he thinks you’re playing hard to get, so he plays along. he leaves with his chest puffed out like he did something and heads back to the lockers

you let out a sigh and try to forget that little encounter

but little did you know that your bf was up in the stands, watching you train

he meant to leave a small bento for you, but he got caught up (aka he missed you and just wanted to stare at you for a min)

and now he’s glad he stayed bc he’s got a bone to pick 

mineta opens his gym locker before it’s slammed shut by a hard fist

bakugo looks like the literal devil as he takes mineta’s shirt in his fist and leans in with a threatening growl

“listen here you rotten little bastard. that little stunt you pulled out there, disrepectful. you ever speak to my--actually, if you ever even think about my y/n, i’ll blow you up so fucking bad they’ll be washing you off the walls for weeks. got it?”

he doesnt even let him answer before he drops him on the floor and walks off 

you happen to meet him as he’s walking out and throw your arms around him totally oblivous to the fact that he’s semi-steaming from what just occured

you give him a kiss for the food he made you and it makes him smirk just in the slightest

he’s always there to watch over you, even if you don’t see it

“can’t have you fucking up during training, so make sure you eat properly okay?”

stunned by your greg post. “I can’t imagistic ne having that hanging over your head when you’re working for some homophobic conservative company with your homophobia enthusiast uncle. (This becomes downright sad if Greg is gay too)”

this immediately brought to mind the “principles” talk greg tried to have with tom. imagine wanting out of that toxic space but you can’t exactly say why

Oh god I need to fix those typos

Considering how openly bigoted ATN is it’s not a surprise that Greg (if he’s gay) does NOT want to work there. He really wanted to leave, he was willing to blackmail Tom to make Tom let him leave. Something he visibly did not want to do.

(This also gives Greg’s resentment towards Tom about working there an interesting twist)

(If he’s gay though, working at ATN or Wayco in general is him basically being forced to stay in the closet if he wants to keep his job and keep his place in the family. Logan knowing would not be good for him. I also think he has a lot of baggage about being gag bc of his dad but I digress)

It’s not until Tom gives him a promotion that he seemingly decides it’s worth staying despite all that.

And oh Greg and principles is something I’ve wanted to talk about for a while now because I think everyone took Tom’s word for it there that he has none. I can see why if you take it at face value but it’s a little more complicated than that?

The thing about Greg is he does have them but he also doesn’t because he can’t stand by them.

Nic has mentioned several times that Greg did genuinely object to ATN’s culture. It’s just the allure of money and power is extremely strong. (And he sees where he thinks taking the moral high road gets you thanks to Ewan)

Greed makes monsters of everyone and all that.

He also said Greg did want to make Waystar better with Ken but Ken ended up being very performative about his activism. In a particularly interesting interview he said he thinks Greg is more genuine about it than Ken is.

The problem is he realized taking the high road was not doing anything for him and chose to look away from what he probably really did once believe

Self interest vs what you believe.

Ambition vs being a good person.

Cognitive dissonance everywhere.

It’s a corruption arc. He’s becoming a worse person because that’s what that life and world does to people. He was never like a saint but he wasn’t a horrible person either. He was just some guy. Just like Tom was probably an alright person too before all this.

Tom is telling him he can’t have principles because it’ll get him no where in that world? It’s true.

So Greg is given the choice between sticking with what he thinks is right and living this lavish life he never had but always wanted. (And never understood why he couldn’t have)

That is why Greg has no principles not because he literally can’t understand right and wrong or is innately evil but because he won’t stand by his own morals. The draws of this life are too much and THAT is tragic.

The “what am I going to do with a soul anyway?” Line is actually really depressing because there him giving up completely. Fuck it, right? He’ll make a deal with the devil.

Greg could be a good person. He was a decent person once but now he’s choosing not to be one over and over again.

That’s why his characters journey is tragic in the end.

Also If someone asked me my principles out of no where I’d probably be like uh be nice to people? That’s such a vague question no wonder he floundered.

#asks #thinking about the people I’ve seen saying Greg is the most evil character in succession like…what #or the ones saying Greg has always innately been a horrible evil person #like people are titled to their interpretations but.. #it wouldn’t be a very good corruption arc if he’d always been a horrible person now would it? #greg hirsch #succession asks

[sunlightandsuffering]

THE LAST ASK AHH. i love devil eren who has to deal with mikasa’s shenanigans after it ends up coming back to bite her when she’s sad and missing erens attention. he’s used to it now, knows when to dote on her and make her feel extra special (even though he’s kinda mean and will wait a while to find her as shown when he continues to be with goth mikasa😭!) but at the end of the day succubus mikasa ends up with him, washes her hair, spoons her when she’s all teary eyed and sniffly bc she’s like ‘you don’t love me anymore’ he just rolls his eyes and goes back to brushing her hair and lays her down on his bed telling her to get some rest, devil eren has permanently claimed mikasa for the rest of eternity,

Lol she's so funny, like she started this bringing normie Eren to the underworld and Eren is like omg why!?! They have a threesome and it's fun but then she's all enamoured with this new toy and Eren stumbles upon gothkasa, and his beloved little succubus is busy! What else is he to do? Then the consequences of her actions show up when she finds out the devil is spending so much time with a human, she gets so upset, big fat crocodile tears and it takes Eren hours to console her, but this happens literally every time, she's so dramatic. Last time this happened they were at a ball and Mikasa was really interested in this male succubus who are super rare creatures and Eren got annoyed and irritable after a while, went to go hangout with some other girls and when Mikasa finally noticed she had a full on meltdown, like fake fainting in the middle of the ball right on the dance floor, she always has to be the centre of attention and everyone is fawning over her like is she okay and Eren just waltzes up and grabs her he's been waiting for this for an hour lol! he deals with all her silly shenanignas but he loves her so much anyway.

#devil eren au

[mooshs-crack-headcanons]

Thank you for your absolutely correct take about V/Vergil. I've been screaming about this ever since it happened and ever since people got mad. I saw some blog say that they told this story to their grandma and that their grandma said V should've been his own character. And they tried to make this a flex. Trying to make people understand what the story was actually about is so damn exhausting.

Thank you for being correct

Good morning, I just woke up after sleeping like I had my head underwater the entire time but anyway.

Their grandma?? Why their grandma?? 😭 what's grandma going to do?? Drive up to capcom headquarters, demand to speak to itsuno or matt walker to demand dmc 5 to be pulled and immediately rewritten - never mind the long road of development hell it took to follow up dmc 4 - all because their grandchild (and her apparently?) didn't like the outcome and actual interesting story telling purpose a character had?

Like, not to sound disrespectful to new fans who were introduced to the franchise with 5 because I know a lot of new fans aren't like the behavior that's being discussed, but I'm a betting kind of guy and I'm pretty sure those "fans" who sprouted this type of shit at the time were extremely new to the franchise (most likely just coming to it bc they saw pictures of V going around on tumblr or twitter) and not really understand just how much weight the whole conflict that was concluded in 5; Dante and Vergil's relationship, their main conflict, and that outcome of their main conflict (both dmc 3 and dmc 1) that's been at least a point of interest in every game (minus dmc 2, bc dmc 2) not even just chronologically but also like irl since the very beginning of the franchises roots dmc 1.

Like for Vergil to be redeemed, him finally coming to truths with Dante, and him meeting Nero wasn't just a way to close a chapter of the sons of Sparda saga just to close the chapter of the sons of Sparda saga - this shit ended an era for its fans who waited since 2008. ELEVEN YEARS for a follow up on dmc 4. Which means the ending to 5 just doesn't hold as much emotional weight for new fans compared to those (including yours truly) who did wait those elven years and after the living fucking dumpster fire that was dmC and how poorly it did, we never thought dmc 5 would ever happen. Then e3 2018 happened.

Like dmc 5 isn't the perfect game (personally its my second favorite dmc game but mainly because nothing imo can top dmc 3 - both story and gameplay wise) but it pretty much is for exactly what it is and just how special it is to those who waited for almost a decade for it and like having Vergil's character further developed and redeemed on top of that through V? It just made the wait the worth it as someone who was there and had one of his very first video game experiences with devil may cry 3 during its early days and for someone who who was just there for 5 for the - as a previous anon put; "uwu goth boy" Isn't going to get all of this emotional impact that like thousands of people in this fandom had with that first announcement trailer showing Nero, who for a brief few moments scarred the shit out of everyone that he was dmC Dante (😅 good times) new character Nico, who immediately captured everyone's heart, Nero's fucking legendary memed to hell and back theme devil trigger, and that last few seconds showing Dante on riding throughout the ruins of Redgrave had me personally HOWLING.

Like, I just wish I could go back and have my first reaction to that trailer all over again it was literally nothing I've ever experienced before and even with the dmc 4 and 5 SE trailers, which were both Vergil heavy and me of course being the biggest fucking ride or die Vergil fanboy there is and ever will be (sorry woolie, I'll doubt you'll ever see this but you can fight me for it) even though trailers while I was hype as shit and wrecked my voice for an entire week (both instances for both trailers actually lol) even those trailer reactions don't come even close to just the emotional response that was that first dmc 5 trailer and I even doubt unless dmc 6 does carry the even number dmc game curse and development hell pulls another dmc 4 on us and we don't see it for another eleven years (capcom pls I can't do it again) I don't even think a dmc 6 announcement trailer will provoke even as close of a reaction from me, but I still hope it's hype as shit though lol.

Tldr: I really really really like dmc 5 and what it did especially with V - Vergil's development and redemption - Nero's whole finally proving himself and really owning and making himself, and Dante finally getting his brother back. Pre/early launch "just here for uwu goth dick and literally nothing else" ridder V fans wouldn't just understand how far this franchise has come and honestly they're probably not even still here - just moved on with the next "object" of simping when the bandwagoning died out and I'd like to to think the good newer fans stayed and took their place, which I appreciate because this franchise is one closest to my heart and I'm glad it grew the fandom that was once only small and niche that barely had any clue what it was into something more and even if a good portion is toxic as all hell I'm really proud about the goods parts of it :)

hxh headcanon/imagine.

again... still about hisoillu but about their engagement instead of illu's influenced fashion choice.

also this is more of... idk it gave reason why they chose to marry instead of uh other ways i guess??

i've seen so many fanarts where illu would break the news to the zoldycks or how killu would react to having hisoka as his brother in law- like srsly it's meme worthy at this point- and lotsa ones that showed how hisoka proposed as a joke or smtg but... I've been overthinking abt it these past few days sO i present to you how i think "the big question aka the proposal" happened... (manga spoilers??)

it's after hisoka resurrected himself obviously, and def after he killed kortopi and shalnark (so he knew there was gonna be empty slots in the spiders' lineup)

i imagine illu went back to the zoldyck estate after the whole fiasco and only heard of hisoka's "death" from rumors while he was on a mission

and then when he was idk maybe contemplating on whether or not he should visit the body(?) to pay respects or something, he gets a text message from the devil himself

their text went like this probably:

hisoka: hey~ where are you right now?♠️ (and no u can't tell me hisoka doesn't text w card suits u just can't-)

illumi: who are you and how did you get the phone you are currently using?

hisoka: ooh~ illu~ i feel betrayed, did you delete my number?♣️

illumi: hisoka is dead

hisoka: *image attached*

illumi: oh

illumi: hello hisoka, how are you still alive?

hisoka: you sound disappointed~♦️

illumi: i kind of am...

hisoka: rude, just tell me where you are♥️

...and that's how they met up?? ngl i think illu has a know-it-all syndrome where he just has to,,, k n o w everything

he's curious so he agrees to the meetup ofc

he's also surprised when he sees hisoka is in good shape when they meet (idk at a bar in an unknown city?)

they drink whiskey on the rocks because... you know...

hisoka explains how he survived and his next plan of action (which is terminate the spiders)

illumi makes a mental note of nen after death bc he's heard and seen it all before but... not to this extent,

this is gonna be,,, bland but i think this is the logic behind why hisoka chose to get married/engaged instead of just paying up front (reference to the ten dons' commission to get chrollo killed and chrollo's commission to get the ten dons killed)--

anyways here's how their conversation goes:

i: "why did you want to talk in person?"

h: "oh y'know, for old times sake."

i: "...right"

hisoka laughs, "okay so maybe i want to ask you for a favor..?"

confused, illumi asks, "why could you not have just texted if you wanted me to kill someone for you?"

h: "no, no- wait, actually, you're not too far off."

i: ~mOrE cOnfUsiOn~ "huh?"

h: "how do contracts for assassination work in your... family business?"

i: "half the promised pay before, the remaining half afterwards. should the target be eliminated by a third party, the assigned zoldyck still gets the pay and should the employer die, then the contract is terminated and the zoldyck will report back immediately."

h: "and has anyone made a contract to have themselves terminated?"

i: "i beg your pardon?"

h: "what complications will arise should your employer's target be... themselves?"

i: "i believe... i have never encountered such circumstance before. the people who hire us are those who have enough money and resource to have their enemies killed quickly. no one's tried to test the zoldyck assassination prowess."

h: "so... how will that work?"

i: "are you implying this is the reason why you have contacted me today?"

h: "yes~ ♥️" (how he said a heart emoji out loud is up to you, reader)

i: "it will be a pointless paradox. logically, the zoldyck will only get the employment bill. and i, myself, do not find pleasure in going for the kill like you lest i get my reward, so you will not get a contract out of me, hisoka."

h: "is there no leeway?"

i: "a zoldyck stands up to their word. so no."

h: "even for a friend?~ ♦️"

i: "we are not friends, hisoka-"

hisoka raises his glass of whiskey along with his eyebrow.

i: "oh..."

h: "didn't you tell dear killua that a zoldyck didn't need friends?"

i: "you... are an associate, someone reliable in the killing world. it's different."

h: "hypocrite"

i: "i ask you for favors and you make me return them. it is not like we spend our time together leisurely like killu with that island boy..."

hisoka clinks their matching glasses of whiskey even though his is already empty, a shit-eating grin on his lips.

i: "you suggested we meet here."

h: "this isn't the first time we went out to drink, right illu?"

i: "regardless!! i will not kill you just for half the money. i do not like wasting efforts on fruitless missions."

h: "as i said, is there no exception, to make sure you get my money if you were to succeed in killing me?"

i: "are you doubting my skill, hisoka?"

h: "that's not the point right now~ ♠️"

i: "wait, why do you want me to get all of your money?"

h: "haven't we just gotten over this subject? because you're my friend, of course."

i: "i... we are not friends, hisoka."

hisoka claps, "that's it! illumi!! ♣️"

i: "eh?"

h: "marry me! that way in our prenup I'll make sure you get all of my money, and even without a prenup you'll still get it since you'll be my only relative! that solves it!"

i: "hisoka, are you sure death did not took a toll on your brain? you did say you used Bungee Gum only on your heart and lungs..."

h: "i'm being serious, illumi!! and doesn't this solve your earlier conflict? we don't have to be friends, we'll be husbands!"

i: "do not use that tactic with me, you manipulative bastard. stop joking."

h: "this is purely beneficial for you, honestly i don't get why you just won't accept it."

i: "then humor me this first, why now?"

h: "dear illu, i've been to literal hell and back. i think it's time to leave my mark in case i fail to escape death again."

i: "was it that bad?"

h: "you'll love it there, illu~ ♥️"

h: "on a more serious note, though, i do plan to marry you. out of everyone i've encountered, you're the most eligible candidate. you're powerful, fully capable and extremely pretty to boot! you're the ideal husband!"

(blushing obviously, illumi downs the remaining whiskey in his glass) i: "death has changed you, hisoka."

h: "so?"

i: "fine."

h: "excellent!"

and in one fell swoop, illumi has a pin against the curve of hisoka's jugular, wrist held tightly by hisoka- a card matching against his own neck.

"not yet, dear husband." hisoka whispered into his ear, "we have to manage the papers first. and i've a request before you do."

they let each other go at the same time, not even breathing an unnecessary breath in the other's personal space (well, they're nearly pressed thigh to thigh anyways, what's the point of personal space anymore-)

"a condition rather than a request, really."

"what?" hisoka orders them refills, and downs his when it arrives.

"join the ryodan first."

glass already pressed on thin lips, illumi's confused hum resonates softly into the concave utensil. "why?"

"so things can get more interesting. i assume you know of the dark continent expedition that's soon to take place?"

"father has advised i take part on it, since kalluto told me the ryodan plans to rob some cliches who'll join the expedition- to look after him. you want me to join them?"

"yes, and i plan to board as well, don't fret."

illumi's eyes turn to slits, "how should i know you would be there? i can't take your word when you might just disappear when we've all boarded."

hisoka grins, wide then wider, "you should know by now illu, i plan to avenge my wounded pride. that damned chrollo didn't even fight me properly."

tilting his head, illumi stared at the man beside him, "is that not contradictory? i thought you did not mind your opponent using whatever means necessary to win?"

"magicians use tricks and misdirection to awe the audience," hisoka says almost thoughtlessly, "chrollo's a narcissistic hypnotist who used the audience as a damned shield because he knew he couldn't handle me face-to-face."

he groans, tinged in regret. "i shouldn't have picked heaven's arena, if i'd chosen a more discreet location then maybe the damage won't be this bad."

"damage?" illumi rests his chin on his palm, facing his husband.

hisoka swipes a hand over his face, and the glamour comes off. the picture he sent illumi now present in front of him. he was missing a nose, his left hand didn't have any finger left and dried blood chipped on his white skin. "oh."

with another swipe, everything's made correct again. hisoka was grinning again. he downs the remaining alcohol and leaves jenny bills under the emptied glass.

"come, lovely husband. we're to elope and legalize our union!"

illumi follows suit after downing his own glass, "i think there might be another loop hole, if you were to join the family. zoldycks do not kill family."

"so if i were to wed you, here and now, you'd think me more of a family than alluka?"

"alluka is not family."

"are those your words, illumi? or silva's?"

"i..."

"wow, you're really just as fucked up as i am."

"where do you plan to take me? i've just said i cannot kill family."

hisoka chuckles, "then you're the one to take my name, of course."

"preposterous!"

"who the hell still uses that word?"

"i am and will always be a zoldyck-"

"exactly. it's just legal papers, if you kill me then you'll just be a widow and even get your name back! see how everything'll work out in the end?"

"hisoka-"

"are you doubting your skill of assassination, my dearest husband?"

"... i better get the most expensive ring in this damned city."

"that's the spirit! now let's go get married!"

"wait, hisoka. what is your last name?"

later that night, when they leave a chapel, something gold glimmers on hisoka's bungee gum/texture surprise ring finger. a matching one around illumi's finger.

unlike hisoka, though, illumi had an extra red glimmer right under that gold, in the dead center of a silver band of intricately designed pattern. hisoka had foregone the traditional diamond in favor of a 16 carat ruby engagement ring, such a curious choice but illumi accepted it all the same...

(much later on, hisoka took both rings as collateral and reminded illumi that he would get them back even if he died bc it was in their damn prenup- and bc it was technically bought under illumis name and that's how hisoka assured illu that he'd be on that black whale,,, bc he had the rings and planned to give them back to him there)

"I thought a red gemstone was better suited for the rather bloody and murderous ending that our relationship will inevitably come to, wouldn't you agree?"

-Hisoka Morow whenever someone mentions his preference of proposal ring...

"I disagree with most of his ideals, our relationship has always had a fragile foundation, and I knew from the start that we'd eventually end up killing each other."

-Illumi Morow, nee Zoldyck when asked about his thoughts on his husband...

I was thinking back to the metal breakdown that was the end of ChoI and have some James thoughts I would like to share (I’m not gonna talk about Alastair because that whole thing with all TMT was *sigh* and this will hopefully be a lighthearted ask)

As much as James is older than in the academy, he’s still a nerdTM

He likes to collect mundane books and keeps them at the devils tavern because he’s not supposed to own them

James actually spends quite a lot of the books worrying about Matthew and how to help him because in the scene with Charlotte it’s clear he worries he might lose Math if he tries to talk to him

It’s reminds me of Kit not wanting to do necromancy but thinking if he said so Ty would shut him out

Honestly the duality between Matthew saying Tom hero-worshipped Alastair in GotSM and James saying he didn’t think Tom even liked him in ChoG is hilarious to me (I’m thinking a combination of being oblivious and the gracelet here?)

Cordelia saying how James is brilliantly clever but also blind is a worthy add-on I really can’t tell if James thinks Cordelia likes him back, but he clearly didn’t know she loved him before the gracelet broke

James was legitimately the only person at the end of the Leviathan fight to say (in his POV) that everyone should rest and sort stuff out tomorrow when they’d all calmed down and everybody just went off and did *gestures to the end of ChoI* anyway

He really said ‘let’s get some sleep and not make crazy decisions!’ And the whole gang unanimously went ✨no✨

I’m sure there’s more I can’t remember right now but feel free to add some if you answer (which you don’t have to or anything I know it’s pretty long and rambly)

- he is such a nerd i like to think he and alastair have some great discussions once everything is fixed up

- YES or he has a sneaky lil section in the institute library bc will and tessa encourage literary crimes

- HE LOVES MATTHEW SO MUCH HE DOES HE DOES IT HURTS

- hold on,,,,,,, PARALLELS GENIUS

- im thinking maybe james meant he thought thomas had some distaste for alastair after the academy and the hero worshipping {cough crush cough} left but i honestly wouldn’t put it past them being (endearingly) emotionally stupid again

-hes such a stereotypical honours kid, can write an english paper in 10 seconds but a girl straight up falls in love with him and hes like huh? like i know he had the bracelet but she literally asked him to TEACH HER HOW TO KISS THERE IS A MISFIRING NEURON IN HIS HEAD

- HELP YOU PHRASED THIS SO WELL AND FUNNY but this poor boy really just wanted a nap and snack break and then he got an absolute tsunami of bullshit SOMEONE HELP HIM

= i would like us all to take a collective moment to remember that james got a headache and wanted nothing more in the world than to put his head in cordelia’s lap and have her run her fingers through his hair. also he saw red when she mentioned marrying someone else. HE LOVES HER SO MUCHHHHHHH

thank you for this it was a well needed james break
