HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Something Naruto please!!! I really like all of your stuff

a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Finding Orochimaru and Sasuke drinking while two incredulous saanin inch closer to pissed off is much better than he was expecting.

"Hey Sensei," Sasuke greets before taking a shot. He holds the empty glass out to him. "Want one?"

He takes the glass, turning a raised eyebrow to Orochimaru who just shrugs. He sighs. "I've got it from here. Go harass your teammates or something."

"If I tell Sakura that Tsunade is here we'll never get rid of her," he points out.

This is very true. "Get. Skadoodle."

Skadoodle, he mouths to himself before looking to Orochimaru.

"I can handle myself. Go tell Naruto he's grounded," he says.

Sasuke nods and gets to his feet, clapping Kakashi on the arm as he passes. "Good luck."

He takes the seat that Sasuke just vacated, meeting the saanin's stare easily. He resists the urge to rest his hand on Orochimaru's thigh because he knows that he won't at all appreciate the show of possessiveness.

"He's old enough to be your grandfather, you know," Jiraiya says.

He blinks. He really hadn't expected this to the track taken by Jiraiya of all people. "Biologically possible but statistically unlikely."

"He's twenty nine, idiot," Orochimaru says. "Just because you abandoned the village when he was thirteen doesn't mean he stayed that age."

"Abandoned!" Jiraiya roars.

"Oh, sorry," Orochimaru looks down at his nails. "I suppose your little spy network was a little useful to the village, at least enough that Sensei could get away with pretending you were on a mission. The one that really abandoned it was Tsunade."

Tsunade slaps her hand on the table hard enough that it cracks downs the middle. Kakashi hopes his mask hides his flinch.

"Temper, princess," Orochimaru says softly.

"Who are you to say that to me?" she demands.

Kakashi usually thinks Orochimaru's fearlessness is hot. Right now he's sort of terrified.

"Who are you to waltz into my village, badmouth me to to my son, and question my dating choices?" he snaps back. "Naruto may have asked you here, but he doesn't know you. Because you left, and didn't come back, and left him abandoned. I don't want to hear shit from either of you."

On one hand, Kakashi appreciates Orochimaru holding in his temper until he got here. Sasuke has never seen the saanin well and truly pissed off and probably wouldn't know what to do with it.

On the other, he really doesn't want to find himself involved in a fight between the three saanin.

Mahou shojo bnha au context please????

[[nerdshrimp said: What's Mahou Shoujo?]]

OKAY SO for those of you who don’t know. Mahou Shoujo means Magical Girl and it’s basically a genre of anime where girls are granted magical powers that allow them to transform into, well. Magical girls. And they basically fight monsters and evil in super cute ruffly dresses and usually have an animal companion!

My brain basically said what if: Tokyo Mew Mew, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Miraculous Ladybug (a few really popular examples of Mahou Shoujo) but BNHA...................except Izuku’s a magical boy and not a magical girl lol and he wears a really cute vest/suit instead >:’D So pretty much like Chat Noir!

This would be an AU with no quirks, but with the same sort of concept? All Might is still the world’s hero, but he’s the ONLY hero, and that obviously comes with a lot of pressure and stress since he basically doesn’t get any vacation due to saving people left and right. Japan especially is suffering from a rise in evil, and Gran Torino finally says hey maybe you should find someone to share the burden with, you know, so you don’t have to keep doing this all by yourself. He says it’s time for the next generation of superheroes to be born, that young people should have a chance to step into the spotlight, and All Might’s like. Yeah alright......I’ll find a successor. But I’m going to test the waters first and only choose one person to start out with. Which of course inevitably leads him to Izuku!!

Izuku is both honored and terrified to become a superhero but does his best to follow in All Might’s footsteps!! This leads to him having to balance his already hectic schedule, because he’s in school and he works at a cafe after classes (YES this is part Cafe AU too bc I couldn’t resist). Ofc the secret is really difficult for him to keep because he has to sneak out a lot to transform, and Uraraka and Iida, being his closest friends, get suspicious about his constant disappearances. Izuku’s popularity as the new hero Deku keeps rising, and Uraraka and Iida begin to suspect that Izuku might be Deku. When Izuku almost passes out in the middle of a fight due to exhaustion, All Might realizes he’s been pushing him too hard and agrees to let Uraraka and Iida know about Izuku’s identity as Deku to make things easier, so they can cover for him :’)

Uraraka and Iida are delighted ofc lol and totally jump at the chance to help Izuku out!! From then on things get a LOT easier for him, since he doesn’t have to hide his biggest secret from the people he cares about. And this is helpful too bc the magical girl equivalent of the LoV are getting harder to deal with, so this boy is gonna need all the help he can get

Ofc it’s not magical girl without ROMANCE so yes I’m slapping a Tododeku label on this I’m not sorry. Izuku’s had the biggest crush on Todoroki for years but, sadly, Todoroki has never really noticed him before, and whenever they do happen to bump into each other Izuku’s a total gay disaster and can’t. Words. He can’t use his words cmkaldsadsa

When Izuku becomes Deku tho, he’s a totally different person with a way more confident personality, so he can actually live through conversations with Todoroki with his costume on! I feel like at some point Endeavor and Todoroki would get caught up with the villains, leading Deku to rescue them and knock some sense into Todoroki about his father and his legacy. That is the spark that causes Todoroki to fall in love with Deku, so yes this is some Miraculous Ladybug love square insanity we’re pulling here but more like a love triangle instead? Todoroki likes Deku, who likes him as Izuku, so it’s a mess LMAO. And once Izuku realizes that Todoroki’s in love with his superhero persona, he panics because he feels that he isn’t worthy enough for Todo’s affections, especially considering how much of a walking disaster he is as a regular civilian. And his self-esteem issues get in the way of everything :’(

Probably somewhere down the line once Izuku gets comfortable enough being a superhero, All Might would probably leave Japan under his jurisdiction, and finally allow Izuku to pass on magical powers to new users. Iida and Uraraka are definitely the first people he goes to for backup, so they become MAHOU SHOUJOS (or in Iida’s case, SHOUNEN) too! He’ll most likely recruit Todoroki and Bakugou as well. I’m not sure if I want to expand the magical group bigger than that, but we’ll see c:

Anyway that is the context of the AU! Basically an excuse for me to have fun in a no quirks/magic AU with a bit of cafe AU on the side, an almost love triangle, and a generally lighthearted plot. WITH LOTS OF SPARKLES

#BNHA #Tododeku #Boku no Hero Academia #My Hero Academia #MHA #Midoriya Izuku #Todoroki Shouto #Iida Tenya #All Might #Uraraka Ochako #Mahou Shounen AU #Shima answers questions #Shima's AUs #It's just fun! And lighthearted! And a good excuse for me to design cute outfits! #gaystarjay #nerdshrimp

[zhuilingyizhen]

Have you ever considered a time travel au? Like sizhui (+ the other juniors?) going back to when wangxian's generation was their age,, or wwx and lwj ending up in their younger bodies or smth

Ooh!!!

I have one idea, but it’s.... kinda dark? Jin Ling gets erased out of existence?

Hmmm I said no sad, but it’s like crack-sad so I think it’s okay.

So, this whole idea started when I thought “what if jingyi & zizhen, the ultimate matchmaking team, went back in time and unknowingly got yzy and madame jin together?”

Then I realized, “what if that made a big oopsie?”

Anyways, this is the “oh shit, i screwed up” kinda time travel AU. Be warned.

Jingyi and Zizhen are in the Cloud Recesses library, reading through some random books, when they stumble upon one that looks older than Lan Qiren. One of them is a journal, documenting a time traveler.

They read it, and it’s super cool! Fun! Woah!

Jingyi, thinking it probably won’t work anyway but hey, why not try? tries the tailsman with Zizhen.

Suddenly, they’re back in time.

But they don’t know that & thought they failed.

Just then, an uNknOwN Lan disciple walks in and demands to know wtf they’re doing there at this time of night!!

Jingyi is confused, bc who is this strangely familiar disciple? A new transfer?

He voices his ?? and is met with “I am Lan Qiren. Why are you imposters in here? Where did you get that ribbon?”

He’s droning on in true Lan Qiren fashion, and Jingyi and Zizhen kinda look at each other because hOLY SHIT THAT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!

They immediately get tf outta there (guess it’s their turn with the brain cell) and start checking out all the differences. Zizhen deduces that they should be forty or fifty or so years in the past, since LQR be old.

They’re wandering around for a couple days (future tailsman in Zizhen’s pocket) and have fun exploring all the different stuff.

And then, Jingyi realizes that the Wens are kinda alive. And he has a moment, where he realizes they could bring Sizhui back here!! Surely Sizhui would want to learn about his past, right?? This would be the perfect opportunity!

He may or may not have bought a Wen(tm) jewelry for his very platonic best friend, but we don’t talk about that.

And then, they meet a rando young woman practicing her sword fighting. Zizhen thinks that she feels familiar, but has no idea why.

The juniors approach her, and ask what’s up, because she be really murdering those dummies.

She introduces herself hesitantly (she’s a little sus of them), as Yu Ziyuan.

Zizhen & Jingyi definitely failed their history tests, because they don’t know who she is, only that she’s very gay for her friend.

And Jingyi and Zizhen hatch a plan to help this rando stranger who certainly isn’t important to the plot or anything get with the girl!

And bOI DO THEY TRY

They help Ziyuan out by suggesting flowers, sweets, even give her a template for an undying love confession!

She’s kinda cold towards them at first, but Ljy and oyzz shan’t be hindered! They persist, and she eventually asks her friend to elope with her and escape their arranged marriages.

Jingyi gives Zizhen a side eye like “whoops” but also cheer as they ride off into the sunset!! Woohoo!

Then they go back in time, and... oh boy. Shit happened. Time rippled. The universe was changed.

Because Jingyi & Zizhen may or may not have erased Jin Ling from existence by getting his grandmothers together.

Because then those two ditch and jc & jyl are kinda not alive, though wwx still gets taken in (and maybe they pretend he’s jfm’s child so jfm can make him sect heir??)

And ljy & oyzz are shook.

And then they freak out and go to the only sane, responsible person they know: Lan Sizhui

bEcaUse sUreLy hE wOulDn’T bE diFferEnt

Actually, they search the whole Cloud Recesses, but he’s not. there. And Jingyi asks the now-old Lan Qiren, who has no clue who Sizhui is.

Then Zizhen has a brain cell moment and remembers, oh wait, wasn’t Sizhui a Wen??

They look at each other and bolt towards the Nightless City, which is not dead bc plot convience and. Maybe yzy and madame jin started their own sect and they saw through the Wen’s bs? They’re still alive tho

And Sizhui is an innocent bb farm boi in the middle of nowhere 🥺

COUNTRY BOII I LOVE YOUUUUUU

Jingyi literally tackles him into a hug and Sizhui freezes bc who da FUCC is this

But even in this timeline, he is :)) so he just kinda asks, v. politely, “who are you”

But then he sees Zizhen and lights up

“A zhen! What are you doing here?”

tHEN

Sizhui smiles shyly and kisses Zizhen on the cheek and ljy & oyzz both have whiplash

bc this is time for my zhuizhen agenda and they be dating

they have to somehow convince Sizhui that they’re from a completely different timeline

And it’s really confusing until Jingyi just starts listing off everything he knows about Sizhui, bc he is not giving up his status as Sizhui’s best friend just bc they’re in different timelines.

& the stuff Jingyi know is... a lot.

“Your favorite color is white, you hate herbal tea, you think that putting your hair down is a hassle, and when you were twelve you thought you were cursed bc two of your rabbits died in a week and placed stone tablets near every door in the dorms—”

Sizhui is kinda shook so he goes with them, though he doesn’t believe them at first. And he ain’t letting his bf (oyzz) leave immediately :/

Sizhui helps them with the ritual, and lets them leave. Then, he goes home to his peaceful farmer boi life, confused. 

They have better luck next time they go back and don’t help anyone. They don’t do anything extreme, and they don’t do anything! Right?

Yeah no, cause zizhen sees this little, dirty child out in the streets and goes uwu and gives the child some money (and maybe a motivational speech?? life changing??).

That child grows up to be Jiggy, bc ofc ofc, and he and his mom manage to use to money to leave (I mean, sect heir oyzz has to have a decent sum, and it was worth more back then). Jgy becomes a respected vendor, hating his dad like every other child of jgs but still living da peaceful life.

So he never helps them with the Wens. And the Wens may or may not win. (honestly I don't remember the plot of mdzs, so this is probably inaccurate. I gotta reread it; my memory’s trash lol)

A lot of people get dead. Zizhen is horrified.

This time though, WQ and WN stole baby WY and left. The Wens,, didn’t really care (maybe they noticed wq left, but they have other, not as competent, healers). 

They seek refuge, but the Cloud Recesses is kinda burnt and the Jiangs ain’t looking so hot either (plus that ain’t a good idea, jc is probably not ok with that)

They don’t bother to check up on anyone this time.

Zizhen and Jingyi go back to the past, stare at each other in true mamma mia, here we go again fashion.

But this time, they dig a hole in the ground and hide there for a couple minutes, before finally, finally, finally going back to the future

And it’s fine, except they screwed up and ended up a little too far into the future.

Like, as in they accidentally time travel to Jin Ling and Sizhui’s marriage fast-forward.

Revelations are made, and this has somehow worn even Jingyi to the point of exhaustion (also, is there any world where he gets to be with a Yuan??)

So they go back several years, energy depleted, and end up right where they started.

Zizhen and Jingyi look at each other, and have a mini-celebration because they did it! They got back and everything seems normal so they’re gonna assume it’s their timeline.

On their way to burn the magical time travel book, they bump into Wei Wuxian.

Zizhen asks how his husband is doing, and they find out that WangXian hasn’t gotten together in this timeline yet.

Jingyi screams, and Zizhen goes to cry in a hole. They’ll be okay. Eventually.

Wow, this ended up really Zizhen/Jingyi-centric...

For the star asks, how about solar system and sun?

solar system: what is the driving force behind your good deeds?

to just try to be a better person, i think? i mean, i guess it depends on the specific situation but i do try to be a decent person and, when i fuck up, i apologize and try to do better

sun: if you could live in any past decade, when would it be?

omg this is such a boring cliche answer but i would want to see a speakeasy from the 1920s, but i also know that current america romanticizes the 1920s a lot so i’d only want to chill for a night and then dip

What is the darker headcanon about the origin of oiroke no jutsu??

HAHA! Ya’ll are enablers!!

So the origin is simple: Naruto was abandoned and rejected by everyone for a really long time. A kid wandering around, lonely and touch-starved, he observed people from afar, trying hard to see what they had that he didn’t, that made him so undesired.

He grew up in the poor part of town, right? I bet he was familiar with the red light district, a place where drunkards would drop coins and prostitutes would take pity on him and buy him food. He probably saw lots of bad things there, but to a kid that knows no better, it was probably normal to him. He observed and took notes and realized, hey, these long haired girls seem to get people to hug them a lot.

At first, Naruto just turns into a long-haired version of himself. But that didn’t really make people care for him, any different than his short-haired self. So he tried and tried and failed and tried again until he could shape his body into that of an adult’s, particularly an adult woman’s. And boy, that got him attention.

Naruto loved it! He craved that attention. He realized he could manipulate people – men, specifically, even the freaking Sandaime – and worked on that jutsu like a man possessed until he perfected it. No brainer :’)

Lucky for Naruto, he could never hold that jutsu for long. So he wasn’t ever put into a really compromising position. But, yeah. The origin of the sexy jutsu was Naruto’s loneliness, and desire for affection and attention.

#naruto is genderfluid because he didn't ever really see himself as a male or female #people dehumanized him so much growing up that he probably didn't even see himself as human #let alone any gender #HAHA SORRY I MAKE EVERYTHING SAD AND PROBLEMATIC #gaystarjay #karaii's headcanons

Hi! I'd like to cosplay Lucy, and figured I should ask for your blessing and for your advice. I love Never Satisfied (I've ordered the book!) and Lucy in particular. Do you have a favorite outfit of theirs? Like, one you enjoyed designing/drawing or think fits them especially well? Thank you for creating such a wonderful world and characters!!! Sorry to bother you!

yeah go ahead! i’d say either this chapter or chapter 4 are my favorite lucy outfits from within their comic. i don’t really like their chapter 2 outfit as much anymore, and chapter 1 i think is a bit silly. 

good luck!!

Hey, you are one of my all-time favorite writers! I really enjoy your superhero stuff, and I can't wait to see more of it, but also you should never feel stress because you haven't posted in a while. As much as we all love your stuff, we want you to be happy and healthy more. (Also, I'm pretty sure you blocked me @gaystarjay a while ago, and I wanted to apologise for whatever I did to offend you! I didn't mean to, but that doesn't give you any obligation to unblock me)

I don’t block people so I’m not sure how that could have happened! Maybe I meant to follow and accidentally did it on the dark theme? Either way, hope it’s fixed.

Thank you very much for your understanding! It means a lot to hear and I appreciate it :)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!! day 1 of 31

Anyway I'd really like to see more of the muggle world draco au? I love your writing!!

a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39

In the end, it's almost anticlimactic.

A week later, Narcissa and Lucius enter Gram's apartment. They're in casual muggle clothes, Lucius dressed much the same way he had been before and Narcissa in a slinky sundress.

"Well?" Draco asks anxiously.

Lucius immediately summons a whiskey glass into his hand. Narcissa plucks it from his fingers when it's halfway to his mouth and swallows the whole thing in one go.

"A mixed success," Lucius sighs. "On the bright side, Voldemort is less alive than he was before."

"Less alive," Harry says slowly.

"We have to talk to Dumbledore," Narcissa says and Lucius pulls a face. "Do you know what a horcrux is, Harry?"

He glances at Draco, who just shrugs.

Gram, however, is horrified. "Narcissa! What are you doing getting involved in something like that?"

"I'm not," she starts, then both her and Lucius pause to stare at her. "Mum. Why do you know what a horcrux is?"

"I'm a doctor," she huffs. "My husband gave me every book he could find about healing, even though I could never perform any of the spells. Poor dear. He really didn't understand the difference between healing and extending life."

A charm for you: a shattered glass pendant, set into the center of a glob of clear, perfect amber. I don't know what, if any, powers it holds, but. Well. It's just that the pendant, from what I can see of it, is exactly the same as the one I always wear, and that one is uniquely handmade. It feels too strange to hold on to, so will you keep it for now, archivist?

I certainly can. In the meantime, it’s worth checking to see if your reflection still wears their mirror-version.

TALES TO BE TOLD VOLUME 1 IS ON SPOTIFY except for one song that was essentially wiped from existence because they looked at it later and went “huh, that was well-intentioned but accidentally Kinda Racist, we’re going to stop sharing it and issue an apology,” which, incidentally, is The Way To Handle That Problem.

For the "one scene" ask game: An Invincible Summer and Child King? They're two of my longtime favorite things to reread, you always do such a good job on all your fics!

oh gosh for invincible summer i’m pretty sure it was naruto greeting itachi for the first time after the massacre like “how are you? i always hear rumors of you murdering villages and nothing about if you’re eating properly” 

for child king it was this exchange between deaton and diane: “a child king is still a king” - “a child king is still a child” although originally it was going to be between deaton and stiles’s dad

For the ask prompt thing, could you do 9 and 29 with lan wanji? I really love your writing

Wei Wuxian truly appreciated his husband’s attention. He was very fond of Lan Zhan, obviously, it’s why he married him. 

But this is ridiculous. 

“Who gave you alcohol?” he demands. “Was it Jingyi? That little shit.” 

“Wei Ying,” he says, cheeks flushed and eyes glassy from where he’s clinging to his side. 

His husband doesn’t let him stray far at the best of times. When he’s drunk there’s nothing to do but wait it out. 

The fact that he insists on sitting in Wei Wuxian’s lap wouldn’t be in issue if they weren’t in the main dining hall in front of the eyes of every Lan.
