— Hair

Benimaru x black! Fem! Reader, Shinra x black! Fem! Reader

Synopsis: Which hairstyles they like on you the most

TW: None

Note: pictures aren’t mine, all are from Pinterest!

— BENIMARU

⇶ Benimaru is a very simple man when it comes to the things that please him

⇶ So while he thinks you’re gorgeous no matter what, he swears you’re the only person in the world when you have Fulani braids, regular box braids, or French curl braids

⇶ Fulani braids are his absolute favorite, and he takes no action in hiding that

⇶ Compliments you a lot already, but when you come home from a day out with Fulani braids, the affection from him seems uncharacteristically endless

⇶ Loves them with wooden beads especially, and if you have his name spelled out that in the beads, he might lose all his composure

⇶ Can’t stop staring at them, and will just walk up to you and position them to where he can see his name in them

⇶ Especially when when he’s a little tipsy off sake, he’ll ask you over and over to show him while you’re sat on his lap and he has a dopey grin while kissing up the side of your face and neck

⇶ For box braids, he just loves how simple yet versatile they are

⇶ Always comes up behind you while you’re doing your hair and just watches you with adoration in his eyes

⇶ When you get done and ask him what he thinks, he always says “beautiful, as always, my love” and gives you a peck on the lips

⇶ While some may argue that French curl braids aren’t exactly simple, Beni just loves how the ends are so beautifully curled, and thinks you look so enamoring and elegant with them

⇶ Loves to fix your curls if they get tangled or one is out of place

⇶ And when you’re cuddling, he always gently pulls on the curls just to watch them bounce back up

⇶ Beni doesn’t care if your hair is long or short, but for styling he likes anything with claw clips, and half up half down. For colors he loves plain black, brown, or ginger

⇶ And for bolder colors, he likes dark blue or red (to match his eyes)

⇶ Beni is honestly a sucker for anything you do, but less really is more to him x

— SHINRA

⇶ Shinra LOVES locs

⇶ Natural or faux, it doesn’t matter to him

⇶ Just thinks locs are so beautiful on you, especially if they’re bright and colorful

⇶ For faux locs, he likes butterfly and distressed the most

⇶ Doesn’t matter if they’re long or short either, he loves it all

⇶ For natural locs, he helps you maintain them, with your guidance of course

⇶ Does your detox and wash for you, but he can’t help past that as much as he’d like to

⇶ He’s tried to watch retwist tutorials, and you’ve let him practice on you, but he just can’t get it

⇶ It makes him a little sad honestly, because he does wanna help but he just can’t do it

⇶ He’ll be able to with a bit more practice, but until then he just adds the clips onto your hair while you retwist

⇶ On top of his love for locs, he loves your natural hair

⇶ And again, especially if it’s dyed

⇶ Short, mid length, long, he doesn’t care!!!

⇶ Shinra loves when you have it out in an afro, but puffs, claw clips, and finger waves are all close rivals

⇶ He’s actually fully capable of helping you on wash days, so you can relax while he gets to work

⇶ He’s also oddly fast when he washes it for you? Much faster than you are or anyone else when they wash your hair, you don’t know how but you don’t question it either

⇶ He can even blow your hair out for you, and when it comes to protecting it before bed, he’s pretty decent at braiding and twisting!

⇶ But don’t bother asking for flat twists or cornrows, he will try his best, but your hair will be left in a tangled mess

⇶ Shinra loves putting on your bonnet for you too

⇶ If it’s been a long wash day, or you started late in the day just to finish late at night, he always runs to get your bonnet for you and gently slips it on your head before kissing your cheek

⇶ Really though, he’s just in love with your hair. And if your hair is as bold as he is, he’ll love it even more

you take pride in showing off your little weirdo boyfriend, like a elementary schooler with a sticker notebook, and he loves it, loves being with you, loves that you don’t feel ashamed of being with him, but… he also hates the attention he gets because of it; girls coming up to him only after you posted up with him, tryna get him to cheat.

but he’s loyal and a snitch when it comes to shit like that so he tells you about it and the next thing he knows is those girls are looking like they were being put through the ringer by a 364 pound Samoan, and you calling him on facetime whining that you chipped two nails and asking him for money to get them redone. which he gives you ofc, you just made his dick hard by fighting for him! and don’t let one of y’all shippers send him a video of you fighting those girls consecutively, he’d probably bust a nut watching your angry face the whole time you molly whopping them homewreckers.

he’d open the door to his apartment, off campus, letting you in when you knock on the door to find his favorite signature colors on your nails in his face. he’ll smile dopily when you ask him if he wanted a ‘special something’ nodding his head, blond pony bouncing with his movements, because whenever you said that you would always snatch his soul. he who sat on the couch in his lounging area, hips raised and back arched slightly with his head thrown back, biting on the back of his knuckle as you’re sat in front of him kneeling on a pillow giving him that galaxy-throat goat-vacuum suction-double hand twist combo-deluxe 3000.

you pull off of him, half of your face shiny and full of spit bubbles and cum as you continue to stroke him. “c’mon baby lemme hear your pretty voice, tell me everything i wanna hear or i swear i’ll stop.” as soon as you said that his hand flew from his mouth, moaning as he looked down at your smiling face, satisfied after seeing his teary blue eyes, with hearing his voice before you pounced on him again, nothing could hold back those beautiful moans now.

“h-holyyy fuuuck hmm love it wh-when you fight f’r me.” “I would never e-even look those girls’ wayyy ahhh y/n fuck!” he whimper tears falling from his eyes. “hahhh yer the only auhh one f’r me f’r my cock.” “mmmm-my cock wouldn’t get hahh hhah-hard f’r an’er w’ma.” his words slur as he gets closer to his climax and you make it no better when putting all the suction pressure on his blushing red tip.

one hand going to fondle his balls and the other squeezing his shaft tighter as you continued to stroke him, he throws his head back, not even mind in the dull throbbing. his eyes stuck to the back of his head letting out a loud high pitched whine that his neighbors will no doubt complain about. his pale hips rose off the couch even more as he could literally feel you sucking the cum out of him, straight up out of his cock.

you swallow every drop of cum that landed on your tongue, his body trembling as he drops back onto the couch, spurts of his kids still landing on your pink muscle as your tongue continues to caress his overly sensitive tip. he pulled you off his cock by your braids, whimpering as he does so. “hahmmm s-shiiit!” he held his dick protectively, plopping his full body on the couch facing you as he laid still, face flushed and hazy ocean eyes, his hair ruffled up as he shivers and twitches, taking this chance to look at your seductive face gazing back at him with low eyes.

he mewls at the pain and overstimulation of his dick getting hard again as you speak, giggling. “want me to suck you off again?” he curls into himself looking at you flabbergasted. “stay back you devil woman!” you laugh at his dramatics as you see his junior pop up to look at you. “but… you’re already raring to go cowboy.” you teasingly crawl closer to him and he lets out a yelp, backing further into the couch covering his junk properly.

“back! back i say!” he smiles at your laughter, watching your brown eyes crinkle with tears in your waterlines. you still look so beautiful even after taking half his life force, he can’t help but think to himself… he definitely loves being yours.

“As daughter of the Ice Tribe's leader, it is my duty to protect our people!”

Guess who is in the middle of a Fates hyperfixation revival.

Also guess who hates the maid archetype but at the same time loves an underdeveloped character who is a maid.

#fe14 #fire emblem #fire emblem fanart #fire emblem fates #flora fire emblem #as much as I love fe14 I've always thought they did Flora and Felicia dirty by not develoing them more #they are political hostages! they were taken from their home and FORCED into servitude #it is such an interesting concept because their situation is at the same time so similar and so different from Kamui's!!!#but all of that was wasted in favor of character tropes and fanservice #at least with Flora they explored the situation a bit more #but Felicia?#lmao #she's next btw. I already have the sketch #also #the ice fire and wind tribes had SO MUCH POTENTIAL in the worldbuilding but we know so little!!!#I mean #we can make up ideas and hcs about them ourselves BUT STILL!!#I wish I knew what the original concept was

Can we talk about how adorable of a grandfather Shinra would be to Kid and the Thompson sisters? We all saw how he treated his little bro Sho, could you IMAGINE how dotting he’d be to the trio!?

Some small headcanons below :3c

I feel like if Shinra was actually apart of Kid’s early life, Kid would definitely be more at peace with his Madness of Order. Like seriously, Lord Death was straight up dismissive of Kid and his issues even though he knew how distressing they were to his son. Shinra, on the other hand, knows all too well what it’s like to be dismissed, and in turn, would absolutely sympathize and take the time to listen and understand Kid and what’s troubling him.

Shinra’s open and understanding way of thinking would definitely help Liz and Patty as well—especially when they first arrived in Death City. From the moment Kid introduced them to Shinra he’d absolutely start pushing them to be better people, teaching them in the process how to deal/cope with haunting pasts and reputations. Also, they’ve all been labeled as “devil’s” during their lives and they absolutely bond over this ^^

Kid and the sisters have been through similar experiences to Shinra, so it just warms my heart at the thought of them having someone to turn to when needed <3

#if you have an hc’s about their dynamics please share them omg #I feel like Ohkubo-verse fans are sleeping on fire force x soul eater interactions #soul eater #fire force #fire force manga spoilers #shinra kusakabe #death the kid #liz thompson #patty thompson #crossover #is it still considered a crossover if they’re in the same universe??#idk….#thoughts inspired by the fire force game x soul eater event #mango rambles

The image of your mother fades day after day. Details escape you, no matter how hard you try to remember— but you could never forget her kind smile.

Even on days where you misbehaved, or when you and your brother caused mischief as children often do, your mother could never properly scold you. Still she wore that smile as she ushered her children into her arms, speaking softly. Never would your mother raise her voice at either of you— and when your father tried to discipline, he would be the only one to experience the might of his wife.

For those four first years of your life you were apart of a happy family, even if you can no longer remember the specific moments.

—————

There were nights where nightmares plagued your rest.

Nightmares where you find yourself in your room, your brother’s eyes shut tight…and yet you cannot see his chest rise and fall. Before you can even try to shake him awake, the scent of smoke filters through the bottom of your bedroom door. In your panic you call for your parents— ‘mama…! papa…!’— but they never arrive. You’re all alone as the heat creeps forward…

…And only when you opened your eyes did you realize you were safe. Your parents rush by your side (though your brother seemed to be fast asleep despite your cries), immediately checking to see what was wrong. And as your mother held you in her arms she smiles, reassuring you that everything would be alright.

You remember that smile. It was different than her usual…it was as if she had been trying to convince herself, rather than her son. But back then you never noticed the actual fear in her eyes, or the way her smile faltered. You fell asleep against her chest, the warmth of flames replaced with the warmth of a mother’s love.

You know now that your nightmares were more like premonitions. You still have that dream from time to time, though you no longer have your mother to hold you tight.

—————

The last time you see your mother, there is a sadness behind her smile. She holds you and your brother’s hands tight as she tells you she’ll return one day. It was only a small errand— that was all she said— and until she would return, she lamented how she wouldn’t be able to hold her babies until her return. You were once so hopeful that she would return, that your mother loved you both too much to just walk away.

That night she sleeps alongside you, though when you woke up she was already on her way.

Your father stays behind. And no matter how hard he tried…nothing could replace the feeling of her hand in your own, or the way she smiled at you and your brother as if you were her entire world.

Your mother was gone longer than she said she would be. Your father worries, and in time you and your brother were brought to an orphanage run by the church. He tried to tell you that you would be safe here, that he would return with your mother in no time.

All you can remember of him is the way he looked over his shoulder as he walked away.

—————

You stare in the mirror in your new room. Years have passed since those happy days. Without a doubt your parents have died. That loving family you once had was torn apart by one nation’s greed— you were never even allowed to pick up the pieces on your own.

Fingers press against the corners of your lips, pulling them up into a mockery of a grin. No matter how hard you tried, you could never replicate just how wide your mother’s smile was. You let go, a blank expression staring right back at you.

There are days where you wonder what type of woman your mother truly was— if what you saw was really all there was…though you doubt there is anyone left who would be able to tell you. ‘I wonder if they’d recognize me as her son,’ you think to yourself, and such a simple thought brings a smile to your face.

‘Maybe they’d say…’you have your mother’s smile’.’

#[ smoulder ]#fe7 did something bad to me ))#and i have a lot of thoughts about how nino would be as a mother considering her own experience with sonia ))#being vague abt dear papa but i dooo have some hcs dw abt it ))#but mostly nino focused ))#[ on fire ]#this makes less sense as i write AAAAAA ))#not to tell and not show but lugh’s ability to act polite and smile personally feels forced at times ))#and i think he learned that practiced smile from his mother’s memory oough ))

is there any fanart, fanfic, or other fanworks about Bumi and Toph hanging out? Bc two incredibly powerful earth bending chaos gremlins being even 30 feet close to each other is a recipe for disaster that we should be exploring

#toph and any other character is a great combo bc I love toph #But toph and bumi?? Yes #Toph shows bumi metal bending and he’s like WHY DIDNT I EVER THINK OF THAT?? TOPH YOU ARE THE MAD GENIUS #and bumi rebuilds omashu and goes sliding in the mail system with toph #bumi keeps the metal box the fire nation kept him imprisoned in as a souvenir and he and toph play around with it #sometimes bumi can be responsible and a good mentor for toph #but occasionally he forces toph to be the responsible one which she hates #more often than not they just commit crimes and create inconveniences together and drive everyone crazy #they rebuild the earth kingdom together just the two of them bc they are that powerful #maybe suki would have fun with them too since she’s from the earth kingdom. Haru would be incredibly stressed out by them always #nerd out #nerd-out #atla headcanons #atla hcs #atla #avatar the last airbender #avatar: the last airbender #avatar #king bumi #bumi #toph beifong #toph

You see Jackie is great because she has a similar appeal to me as Maxwell but she's a lesbian and also not british so she's automatically a billion times better and more interesting

#rat rambles #oni posting #starve posting #theyre very different people fundementally but the core appeal of watching a shitty guy dig themselves into deeper and deeper holes remains #bro if they met itd make maxwell so pissy he would not be ok with having someone talk down at him like jackie would #bro jackie would at best be patronizing as hell she would see him as the dirt beneath her shoes #she would not be impressed by his magic tricks at best shed be intrigued by the science behind it but she would not think hes special #now to be clear. jackie is just as pathetic as he is and would 100% die so fast in the constant #like shed get attacked by nightmare creatures so fast and if she survived that a hound would probably maul her #I do hc that at least in the past jackie was decently physically fit but even back then she was like ripped and I think if she tried to #punch something shed miss pathetically and fall over and break all of her bones #olivia is a similar case but shes more fit and probably could barely brute force her way through a few hound waves #the real difference is that olivia would be quicker to adapt and would put up a much better effort at preparing the essentials #now. she would get side tracked as hell by the wildlife. I think if you showed her a carat shed stare at it forever.#but jackie would struggle so hard to adapt and I think the isolation would get to her hard #if you put them together itd just be olivia hard carrying while jackie trips and eats shit every 10 steps #now putting them with the rest of the survivors would be interesting given that I think the two would hate most of them dhdkhdj #like I have no proof that olivia wouldnt like most of them but idk man I dont trust her to not be quietly judging them all #and jackie would probably explode if she was forced to interact with other human beings in a non boss-employee setting #olivia would start calling her jackie again and the others would start calling her that too and shed light herself on fire #wilson would start trying to be buddy buddy with the two and theyd both hate him so fucking much lol #the two would start trying to blueprint machines they could build with what they have and winona would enter frame about to ruin their day #you see winona is like their dark reflection shes like if you took a lesbian and made her the worst but not a bad person this time #shed start critiquing their work for being to fancy and theyd want to strangle her #and god knows how theyd handle the kids I think jackie would have a panic attack and olivia would go smash her head into a tree #and by the kids I mostly mean walter he was hand made to annoy them specifically #oh no wait hypothetical crossover cancelled I forgot abt wanda dont Ever let jackie and olivia meet wanda

*listens to beserk ost again, jolts upright* I FORGOT-

Jadus absorbed the Dread Masters in Eight's timeline after they defeated them together, and the gold etching on his veil is from their melted masks. If one listens closely in the Force, you can hear a minute ringing that turns agonizing if focused on for too long, a tinnitus like a multitude of voices.

#swtor #jadorre #even for a double agent this is still an objectively terrible timeline shsjskl #gnaws on my fingernails suddenly remembering the story beat i had planned for defeating valkorion #GAH. what manner of beast have I created?#eight's fate is so grim when left with jadus. it's a beautiful destiny mired in the dark but to anyone else #it looks impossiby macabre #both he and jadus elevate to new heights of power but in turn #become so much a part of the Force that lives on fear #that even Eight's force signature fades into a void #I also hc the Voss' predicted season of fire was Oricon for them.

REFLECT / @reversedpsync / ACCEPTING ! ↳ send REFLECT for me to explain a traumatic event in my muse’s past and talk about their perception of events, which parts have stayed with them longest and how it affects them now. ( sender can request specific scenes/backstory )

||. Y’know it hit me that not a lot of people actually talk about how traumatic an event like the Flame Emperor Reveal would’ve been for Byleth. (For those who don’t know: the flame emperor acts as a main antagonist during the 1st half of the game, and is ACTUALLY edelgard, the female house leader, in disguise.)

I mean, in Azure Moon specifically? We’re all usually so focused on this:

..... that we kind of forget to think about anyone else in the room. Player character included. Of course, if this is a first playthrough, or even if you know it’s coming? The player certainly feels SOME level of betrayal. maybe anger, maybe hurt. I know I did. At the end of the day, Edelgard is an EXTREMELY charismatic, likeable ally. And the fact of the matter is that, unless you’re specifically playing CF to side with her? She ends up going from a student to a traitor (and a war criminal) real quick ;;; and worst of all it’s revealed in this moment that she’s been working with the main terrorist group the whole time, right underneath your nose.

And getting back to Byleth? I think that’s the real kicker here. Whether it’s Azure Moon Route, Verdant Wind or Silver Snow... ALL of this was happening underneath her nose. It’s worse in Silver Snow, where she was directly responsible for Edelgard and had grown close to her over the course of her tenure as a Professor... but personally I like to think that Byleth went out of her way to grow close to ALL students of Garreg Mach, regardless of the house she may have chosen. Edelgard is certainly no exception to that. Frankly, between their similar dispositions (on the surface level), and Edelgard’s own Crest of Flames (something that definitely draws El to Byleth, though it’s never stated as the other way around), there was clearly some level of mutual admiration and respect for each other.

To have all of that thrown away in an instant? To suddenly realize that the person who’s been helping terrorize The Officer’s Academy, who worked with the same people who murdered your father in cold blood, who gave said terrorists a soldier who kidnapped an innocent girl for blood experimentation (smthn that DIRECTLY led to Jeralt’s murder, mind you), it turns out — was a STUDENT the entire time? And not only that, but within days of THIS reveal, took the throne of her Empire and started a war of conquest against the whole of Fódlan (starting with the church)? Like. That’s A LOT. And the church only really gets... I think TWO WEEKS to try and evacuate the nearby towns, the school itself, and then fortify its defenses (which is NOT enough time, at all.)

The TL;DR is that Byleth... Regardless of route, absolutely cared for Edelgard. There was a kinship there. A genuine connection that COULD HAVE been great, and even fruitful for them both. But El turned down a path that 99% of the time, Byleth can’t follow. (And even when she does... to me it never really felt like she’s doing any of it for Edelgard very specifically, although that’s certainly a part of it.)

I like to think Byleth was really shaken up by this whole event. Speaking specifically about AM!Byleth, too? It was jarring and hurtful, and I am CONVINCED that Byleth takes some fault for the situation at hand. She’s aware that Edelgard’s decisions were her own. She REFUSES to take away Edelgard’s agency in her part to play for what has happened, and the war she started. There’s an accountability that MUST be taken for this path. But I do think that Byleth... thinks that she could have done better. Maybe she should have paid more attention, or been more perceptive. Maybe there were more clues that she could have picked up on, or SOMETHING that she could have said to reach out her hand to Edelgard and stop her from going down the wrong path... There wasn’t any need for war, and in Byleth’s eyes it is not only senseless but completely avoidable.

She’s hurt, and feels betrayed because Edelgard was her friend. She feels guilty because for all of her influence, and all of her power, she couldn’t - or maybe DIDN’T - stop it. And she’s angry - not just with El but with HERSELF for being too “stupid” to figure it all out before it all came crashing to a head and spiraling out of control. And as far as how all of this continues to shape her? She’s paranoid around people who wear masks, and who are clearly lying. She doesn’t trust herself to have the intuition to be able to separate truth from lie, and her own naive idealism from what’s fact. Because at the end of the day she went from someone who was pragmatic and nearly solely logic-based to someone naive enough not to see that the flame emperor was right in front of her the whole time. Her vision was too clouded by her new emotions, and the genuine joy and peace that came with FINALLY having a stable lifestyle that she enjoys start to finish, surrounded by people who care and who feel she’s just as human as they are.

She’s not really sure what to make of any of that anymore.

SO much love)#(and yet bc of what's happened there's so much HURT there too)#(hate is always born of love. the deeper the love. the more the hate)#(that's true of rhea @ byleth. it's true of dimitri @ edelgard)#(ironically enough it's true of byleth @ rhea AND byleth @ edelgard)#(but what i like about AM in particular is that she is /forced/ into a position where she has to put that compassion)#(and trust in her friends)#(and her love - even for her enemies - front and center)#(because she can't /preach that/ to dimitri and not BE that herself)#(that won't help him choose to walk the right path)#(and it won't help /her/ either.)#(you get the choice eventually when dimitri says smthn about how byleth is equally as monstrous and hellbent on revenge)#(and that the two of them aren't so different)#(byleth to me feels like someone who wouldn't be able to defend herself in this situation - bc like. yeah. she's gone after revenge before)#(she can't preach against that she's /done that/ she can't cast that stone)#(and hell he was even THERE for it. she lost sothis because of her revenge lust)#(she ALMOST lost her entire class too. she led them into a trap)#(but at the end of the day she's also someone who will put those grievances aside if she sees /good/ in someone)#(and also sees that there's a chance they may just take her hand really hold onto tthat good)#(and that includes ppl like edelgard)#(if el ever actually took responsibility for her actions and turned a new leaf byleth would be SO here for that)
