Fantasy retelling of Northanger Abbey:

Innocent young Catherine Morland is overjoyed to have the chance to go to the King's City, leaving her quiet country town for a more diverse and magical metropolis.

Catherine loves reading fairy tales about the dramatic deeds of long-ago fae.

Henry Tilney is a trickster fairy prince who is jaded by a lifetime of dealing with the machinations of the fae courts. He gets amusement out of living among humans and laughing at their follies.

Catherine meets Henry and is immediately awed at his backstory and (metaphorically) enchanted by his charming personality.

For reasons unknown, Henry's father encourages Henry to romantically pursue Catherine. Henry half-heartedly goes along with it, because it's not a bad idea to stay in Dad's good graces.

And then he's shocked to find himself actually falling in love--because Catherine loves him and because she's genuinely innocent and good in a world where he thought such people didn't exist.

To everyone's surprise, Catherine gets an invite to stay at Henry's father's palace.

An actual enchanted fairy palace? How could Catherine say no?

As they're traveling there, Henry plays up all the old fairy tale tropes warning Catherine how to behave. He's joking (things haven't been like that for centuries) but Catherine still takes it to heart.

Catherine hears of the dramatic tale of the life and death of Henry's mother (perhaps a human? So Henry's actually only half-fae?). With her imagination primed by the stories she knows, Catherine starts to interpret faint "evidence" as proof that his mother's actually hidden away under a fate-worse-than-death curse, perhaps just waiting for a pure-of-heart maiden to come break the spell.

Henry catches Catherine during her quest and is amused and a bit offended. Do you know what you're saying? Maybe things like that could happen long ago and far away, but the fairies are Christianized now. Enchantments like that are far too brutal to consider.

She's right that his dad's a jerk, though.

Not long after this, Henry's dad sends Catherine away in disgrace. He had heard that Catherine was the Chosen One of a prophecy and wanted her to increase the power of his kingdom. He's shocked to learn it's not true (you mean humans can lie?), and in his anger he's harsh in sending her away.

Henry refuses to abandon Catherine and gets himself banished for refusing to give her up.

He shows up at her ordinary home and declares his love and they live happily ever after.

#northanger abbey #jane austen #i started thinking about the parallels between coming-of-age and portal fantasy stories #remembered my assertion that northanger abbey is a portal fantasy #and took it a step further with fairy prince henry tilney #this book is so great for fantasy aus because henry makes an excellent magical boyfriend

alternative chuuya ship propaganda under the cut

TsujiChuu -> they had exactly TWO (2) encounters but in those 10~ minutes Tsujimura has immediately waxed poetic about how chuuya is a unique and intriguing man (as most special division agents do), and went out of her way to know more about him. and Chuuya immediately empathized her personal struggles with her ability, and gave her advice on how to both control it and accept it as part of her instead of something that was placed in her**. (hmmm stormbringer chuuya and gaiden tsujimura parallels. there's a reason they met.) Anyways Tsujimura is super high-strung and chuuya (when he's not purposely being riled up) is actually really laid back so they'd mesh well personality wise. And they could have an fbi x criminal secret romance thing happening.

ChuuRan -> they definitely fucked in the book. Lol. Also it's a match up that is spiritually similar to skk but 20x funnier because they have zero history and and wayyy more petty beef. in a more serious note, Chuuya probably does have some respect for Ranpo ---not respect for his intellect. I don't think chuuya would be impressed by anyone acting like a cocky genius, he was partnered with dazai after all-- recognizing him as the agency's "lynchpin" and all that. On Ranpo's side, i think he respects chuuya as a Threat, so that side adventure in the Poe's book was probably both to keep him away from the Cannibalism war thing and also gain an ~ally~ of sorts. IDK I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BOOK BRO

TaintedLemons -> Chaos and property destruction boyfriends ftw! They're canonically drinking buddies too! Chuuya is a messy lightweight, so what if when Hirotsu is unavailable, it's Kajii who helps him back home or let's him crash at his place 🥺? Kajii actually seems to be pretty high ranking, what with him just casually chatting up Kouyou and Mori trusting him with undercover missions. Kajii should be promoted, we have 2 exec seats after all. Kajii's silly eccentric personality and their friendship helps Chuuya put a positive connotation to mad scientists. Also they're literally always near each other in the group shots and official art, it's literally canon.

ChuuAku -> another one that isn't too rare but seriously underrated. Chuuya is that super supportive borderline embarassing boyfriend that takes 5 minutes each day to divulge words of affirmation, and he'd make dinner and use the cheesy pet names, the kinda stuff that makes Akutagawa want to explode/shrivel up and die. See as soon as Akutagawa is involved i think Chuuya should be flattened to the cookie cutter token love interest. He'd murder daz for a birthday gift. He's be Akutagawa's personal cheerleader and nothing more. This is also basically a canon ship btw..

#i've been thinking hard about this because if dazai is a fail boyfriend i need to start looking at other viable options #i didn't finish the chuuaku aesthetic list imsorry #so in my mind chuuya is like a main character but also. also i think he works perfectly as the copypaste emotional support love interest. #excels even. that's chuuaku to me. tsujichuu to an extent too #chuuran is kinda popular i believe. i see the appeal. it's very silly #taintedlemons is obviously the closest to canon though obvsly #anyways #doodle

I think what really gets me goin about that frankenboy is that he is the perfect cross between thackery binx and billy butcherson that the world has always needed but my body was literally not designed to be able to handle that considering how strong my lust for those characters individually over the years has been

#like. he is monster. most excellent. but then he is also handsome and chivalrous boyfriend material???? #my body just physically cannot cope with that #zelda williams. my lady. YOU know about this don’t you? #(also the dude who wrote it who also did jennifers body I KNOW he knew) #lisa frankenstein #it’s all that shit coming back to haunt me guys like idk

I’m not even at WCI yet so I don’t even have context but my brain won’t shut up about Sanlu Forbidden Romance where Luffy sneaks in to the Vinsmoke mansion (or wherever the hell they’re keeping Sanji) so he can tenderly kiss him under the moonlight. I am unwell

#Sanlu #Lusan #One Piece #Sanji #Luffy #Black Leg Sanji #Monkey D Luffy #And my favorite very self indulgent headcanon: Luffy being stupidly absurdly possessive esp since Sanji’s currently engaged #So he leaves um. Well you know. Marks. Everywhere :)))) #Sanji: NOT that high I don’t want Pudding-chan to see— #Luffy: Well I do. Sanji is mine and I want her to see my marks :) #Sanji: 😳😳😳 #Sanji: (Hope this doesn’t awaken something in me) #(Hint: it does) #The Vinsmokes are 100% unaware Sanji is secretly kissing his boyfriend while their backs are turned. It’s quite excellent #Pudding: He’s so obsessed with me it’s pathetic 🙄 #Meanwhile Sanji is currently sitting in Luffy’s lap kissing him silly #Luffy scaling a massive castle wall just to sneak in through Sanji’s window every night. #THE PINING. Luffy secretly panicking bc Sanji’s really gonna get married soon isn’t he. #Sanji just wanting to leave but he can’t 😔 #Luffy: Run away with me? #Sanji: 🥺🥺🥺😭 #CRAWLING UP THE WALLS I’M INSANE RN. I AM SO UNWELL #Shima speaks #SORRY I CAN’T BE NORMAL ABOUT THEM EVER. NEVER EVER

Shigaraki would definitely love to play with your hair while he’s gaming during a cold and rainy night, he has his back against the bed frame while one hand is on the controller and the other is carefully brushing through your hair. You’re laying on top of him, cuddled up to him to search for some warmth. 🥀

I hc that your presence and playing with your hair would comfort him and make him feel safe. I saw your post and had to drop a stupid little thought. <3

Pretty boy. He always looks at you with his soft smile and with eyes full of adoration, you're his safe space.

Maaaaaaaaaars!! I'm -- holy shit, I'm yearning so bad tonight, this hit me so hard.

Imagine crawling into his lap and he raises his arms to accommodate you, taking a moment to pause his game until you're properly settled in. Tomura full on curls his legs and arms around you, clamping his thighs to keep you still. It's a full-body hug and you feel so goddamn safe. You rest your head against his chest, physically feeling the wear and tear of the day's events dissipate with every passing second. He doesn't say much but he doesn't have to: he understands. You're tired and need some peace and quiet.

The only sounds that fill the silence are his heartbeat and the soft bleep-bloops of the game in the background as he continues to play. After a moment of this, his fingers tangle into your hair and gently begin dragging against your scalp. You let out a quiet whine and lean into the touch, closing your eyes as you enjoy the soothing feeling. Tomura admires the look on your face as it fades from frustrated and tired to content and serene.

"There you go, that's right...just relax. I gotchu. Always."

#ShadeSpeaks #mommy mars 👹 #tomura shigaraki x you #tomura shigaraki x reader #tomura shigaraki #GOD THIS IS IT BOYS #IM #I CANT EVEN DENY THE FACT THAT TOMURA MAKES ME FEEL SO SOFT #like if Dabi is my boyfriend who spits in my mouth #Tomura is my precious baby boy #thank u so much Mars #this was AN EXCELLENT mental image

81k and I are a weird match. he seems like a 10x engineer to me (hard to tell from the outside, of course) but he thinks software is kind of an arbitrary specialization and yearns to be good at drawing. whereas I'm moderately good at art but think it's approximately a worthless skill that it's almost, like, sinful to invest more into in, and software is the true test of my intellect and character which I have failed

#rambl #the boyfriend with quantities #(I gave notice for my job this week; my best brain hours were going to it and leaving me much less able to do wedding & family planning) #(I got a ton of great pregnancy advice recently and I was like... I can't execute on this right now. something has to give) #(like I am not pregnant right now but it sounds like an excellent idea to do pregnancy specific physical therapy so it's less hellish)
