PRECIS. kenma is your best friend— and also your crush for two years. so when all your shots at confessing fail, his twitch stream viewers might be able to help. ( wc. 3.5k )
GENRE. fluff, best friends to lovers
WARNINGS. kissing but it's not descriptive, one / two profanity ( ies ) i guess, reader is kinda down bad ( but it's kenma so we dont blame them )
NOTE. lol repost 👎 but here's my fav kenma thing i ever wrote
Tumblr media
‘Would you join me in today’s stream?’ — seen.
Your heart is palpitating at an unimaginable pace and you’re not sure if it’s because of the presentation due tomorrow or because Kenma asked you to join his stream for the very first time. You like to think it’s the latter— because how can you be so in love with someone? Is it possi—
“You’re blushing,” Kuroo’s words cut your trail of thoughts, which also reminds you to drink your coffee before it gets cold. “Let me guess, it’s Kenma?”
You roll your eyes at the smirk that crept up his face. It’s annoying, really, to live with his never ending remarks. But no matter how much you deny, Kuroo isn’t wrong. It’s not just Kenma, it’s the Kenma Kozume— a hotshot gaming streamer, who happens to be your best friend for over two years, and who’s also your crush and he’s so oblivious about it, he doesn’t know your heart is on the palm of his hands, and he could shatter it into pieces at any given moment.
And it’s not only about accompanying him in a stream. It’s about sitting next to him, in front of millions of people, talking to him, and putting up an actual, functional conversation when you’re barely able to control your thoughts when he’s in front of you. In your defense, everyone liked Kenma. You’ve seen people shouting messy confessions at him whenever he’s out, or giving you gifts / letters to pass on to the boy when they knew you both were friends. You’ve also seen him helping kids and old people cross the road, and they appreciate it so much that they want to introduce their daughters to him. You’ve seen him donating thousands and millions to pet rescue centers and other charities, you’ve seen him being nothing but nice to people he just met.
It was bound to happen— your crush on him, it wasn’t avoidable.
“So are you going to say something or just stare at the phone screen?” Kuroo interrupts again, which you’re grateful for. All the Kenma thoughts in your head needed to be put to rest, even if it was for a minor second.
You look at the boy in front of you with worry ridden eyes. “What should I do? Decline it? I don’t even know about that Zoo Crossi—”
“Animal Crossing.” He corrects.
“— whatever.” You retort. “Just tell me what I should do!”
Kuroo thinks you’re crazy. If it were him, he would accept his best friend’s offer without a second thought. Honestly, any other person in love would’ve done the same— except you. He thinks your brain works differently, is convinced that love has infected your brain so much, you’re unable to figure out what you should do and what you shouldn’t. On one hand, you talk about spending time with Kenma and on the other hand, you freak out about the same, thinking you’ll make a fool of yourself in front of him.
“Join him in the stream? Talk to him? I don’t know, maybe play along? It’s just a stream, y/n. It’s not that hard!”
“No, you don’t get it, Tetsu!” You shout in frustration. This whole situation makes you want to rip your hair out. And what’s even more frustrating is that the man in front of you, Yang Kuroo, is doing anything but helping you out. “You’ve never had a crush, have you?”
“Now, now, y/n” He stops you cautiously. “I’ve also been in a relationship, if you’re forgetting.”
Oh, whatever. You roll your eyes again. Honestly, you don’t know what’s wrong. He’s right— it’s not that hard, but again, it is that hard. It’s confusing, you’re lost. You want to spend time with Kenma, but you’re afraid you’ll do something embarrassing and you’ll have to flee the country, change your identity, and whatnot. It doesn’t make sense, how indecisive can a person be? And the stream? Kenma never asked you to join his streams. He knows you fall down to figure zero when it comes to games.
Then why?
Does he want to make fun of you? Wait— what if he finds you annoying and he wants you out of his life? What if he has a secret love who’s insecure of your presence so he’s trying to push you away? What if—
“Stop thinking about all that crap!” He aims a pencil at you, making you flinch and curse under your breath as it hits your forehead. Right. He knows— after all he has known you since the college freshman year. “Are you sure you don’t hate him? How can you think such things about the person you like?!”
You lean back, sighing and frowning, proceeding to annotate the corners of your notebook with stars and moons and messy scribbles of question marks and circles, hoping that doodling on your notebook will give you a way out of this.
“I don’t think you can do this.” you look at him with your peripheral gaze as he continues. “Just give up.”
“Oh, shut up.” It’s not the first time Kuroo’s telling you to surrender, and it’s a joke every time it brings it up. You know you can’t give up, and he knows you won’t. And then a seemingly profitable plan hits your brain. “Okay, I’ll go, and then do whatever he wants me to do in the stream, and after it ends, I'll ask him on a date. How ‘bout that?”
You don’t know why Kuroo looks at you with concerned eyes.
“Y/n,” his hands rest on yours. “You think, like, twenty times before texting him a hi. What makes you think you can ask him on a date?”
You jerk his hand away. “And there I thought you were giving me moral support!” But no matter how much you deny it, you know Kuroo’s right. It’s funny and embarrassing to think you’re so in love with your best friend, you can’t keep up a conversation without having your feet turn cold. It has to be stamped as one of the cringiest things, you think, sounds like those leads in a Shoujo Manga. “And what if I ask him out without messing up, huh?”
Kuroo smirks confidently, knowing you’re just making empty assumptions. “Lunch on me this whole month, but only if you ask him out. I’ll ask Kenma so don’t you dare lie about it.”
And so you’re here, four hours later, in Kenma’s room, waiting while he prepares coffee for the two of you. Your gaze runs all over his room. The two rows full of video games on his shelf catch your eyes. It’s surprising how there’s always a new bunch whenever you visit. Below it are a few books about accounting and business stacking beside mechanical engineering— wait, why does he study engineering? You don’t put much thought into it and follow your gaze to his desk adorned by a photo frame with his family, and a picture of him and Kuroo ( seemingly back from their high school days ) with a cat they rescued from the local river. You’ve heard the sheep head brag about it so much that you can make it to the short stories section of a children’s magazine with it.
Then your eyes settle upon a certain polaroid peeking out of a stray notebook resting beside his monitor. It looks familiar, you think, and then you pull it out, only to place it on the table hastily as he enters the room. “Having fun?”
“I guess,” a smile climbs up his face voluntarily as he watches your lips curl into one too. “Didn’t know you still had this.”
“Of course. What kind of friend do you take me for?”
From that moment on, time seemed to flow like running water. You learn that he invited you an hour prior to the stream to spend time with you, and it does nothing but accelerate your heart infinitely. While he tells you about the stream— which was after numerous requests from you because he said it’s a secret and a surprise— you were busy admiring the way his eyes shone when talking about things he likes. ( and yet, every time, you fail to realize that his eyes shine even brighter when talking about you )
Another thing you learn is that the whole point of today’s stream is to introduce you to his fans because they’ve been asking him to do so ever since you accidently walked past his monitor, not realizing the camera was on, which was exactly six months ago. You knew it was a mistake, but now it feels like a sin. What if they don’t like you? What if they start attacking you like what happened to the friend of another streamer a few weeks ago? What if—
You hate to have all those what ifs plaguing your mind. But then, you remember Kuroo saying that Kenma will defend you no matter what, so you decide to hang onto that single string for the rest of the day. “What are we going to do, though? I’m sure the introduction isn’t the only thing on today’s list, is it?” you ask.
“Actually— it is.” He pauses, taking a sip from his coffee before proceeding further. “I’m too tired to play so let’s just do whatever and have fun.” He could hear Kuroo calling him a liar for that one.
The next ten minutes pass away in preparations and by the time you take a seat next to him in front of his computer, assuring yourself that you’ll be fine, you realize that stream has already started and you can see the comments flooding in, yet daring not to read them. Kenma nudges you from the side, reckoning you to say something, a silly smile dancing on his face.
“Oh, right— I’m y/n,” You begin, fiddling your fingers out of nervousness. “And, I’m Kenma’s friend—” you’re about to speak further but words get stuck in your throat as you feel his hands intertwined with yours from under the table, a gesture to let you know that you’re doing great and there’s no need to be nervous.
And then he doesn’t let it go for the rest of the stream, until you roll back your chair to grab your cell phone from his bed, which was only a minute later ( but the whole thing felt so timeless to you ) A wide yet nervous smile makes its way to your face as soon as you face away from the camera. You wonder if anyone noticed that little gesture you and Kenma shared, and if someone did then what are their thoughts. Even though it was short lived, his warmth lingers on your skin like winter morning dew, pleasing and satisfying.
You roll back to the screen, a certain comment catches your attention.
‘You both look adorable together !!’
Kenma fails to notice it, or so you think, but those five words are enough to get the butterflies in your stomach excited. Actually, butterflies aren’t even half equivalent to what you’re feeling. A zoo would be a better term, and just one comment made all those animals go crazy in love.
And then, another comment holds your gaze.
‘Y/n do you know Kenma talks about you a lot in his streams ?!?!?!’
Your heart feels as if it’s on fire. Turning your head towards him, you wonder if he noticed that comment, which he certainly did considering his fluttering gaze and red cheeks, wait— is he blushing ?!
“Uh, I mean y/n’s a close friend so it only makes sense for me to talk about them.” He clarifies nonchalantly, but from what you notice, he’s nervous. And he’s tapping his foot on the floor as if he’s writing college entrances again. It’s cute, and it makes you giggle like a toddler. Much to your surprise, Kenma's hand slides into yours again, and he’s pretending to not know, as if it’s unintentional, and as if his hand belongs to yours’. Even though you feel starstruck, and your heart feels like it’s going to stop any time soon, you relax into his little embrace, a shy smile flaunting on your face.
Kuroo was right, it’s not that hard.
The comments keep flooding in, this time faster than before. Half of them are asking if you both are dating ( and when you shake your head in denial, some of them say it’s a shame that you both aren’t a couple already ) Kenma doesn’t respond, and you wonder why. Instead, he sulks about how they’re supposed to be his friends, and not expose him in front of you, or how they all switched sides as soon as they saw you, which is why it took him six months to ask you if you wanted to join his stream. ( He can hear Kuroo calling him a liar, again )
You’re having a fun time watching the friendly banter between him and his fans, that is unless someone asks how you and Kenma met. And you realize it’s your time to carry the show. You take a look at Kenma who’s burying his face in his hand because your first meeting was utterly embarrassing, and you couldn’t wait to share it with around a million people.
“Y/n, no—”
“Y/n, yes!” You cut him off, mid sentence. That’s probably the first time you’ve been so excited this whole day, and as much as Kenma loves seeing that smile dangling on your face, he doesn’t want you to disclose that. “Kenma, do you know how long I’ve waited to tell your viewers about your stupid ass ?!”
He gasps dramatically, mumbling something along the lines of ‘how can you betray me’ as he pretends to get off his chair and leave the scene, only for you to pull his hand ( which was still laced in yours ) towards you and make him sit again. And the comments are going off with the ‘omg they were holding hands all this time???!!!’ and equivalent phrases but none of you seem to notice, for he was too busy getting away from the monitor while you grab his arm with both your hands, pinning him down to the chair before the air fills with your laughter.
“Really?” He deadpans, pulling his hands out of your grip. “After all the notes I've copied for you when you missed classes?”
You laugh at his silly actions, especially at the pout on his face that makes him look ten times prettier than he already is. You wonder if he knows the magic he casts on you, the way it makes you feel like a love struck cat. You almost forget the topic under discussion, your first meeting with him, but that’s until you see a comment loaded with pleases and words asking you to tell, no matter what.
“Alright, alright,” you lean back as if pleading for truce. And good for you because Kenma believes it a little too easily. “I won’t tell anyone that you almost spat water on me when we met for the first time.”
“Y/n, what the heck?!”
His expression is priceless. It’s the best day of your life— well everyday with Kenma is best but this one, specifically, is the best one of all. You inch towards the screen, reading the comments while Kenma covers his face with his hands, trying to hide his flushed face. ( You’re pretty sure he’s reading the comments either way )
But then he looks at you with eyes glistening with mischief. And you realize what’s going to follow. “In my defense, they wore a chicken outfit for handing out some flyers!”
“Kenma—”
He leans away from you, one hand holding up the keyboard to prevent you from terminating the stream while the other rests on your forehead, stopping you from getting any closer. “That’s what you get for—” A pause. The whole room goes quiet as you both realize the proximity in between. You retract yourself away from him, an awkward atmosphere enveloping you both as your eyes settle on the computer screen.
‘Oh my god, just date already!’
‘You both are so cute aaaa!’
‘Kenma fight anemo hypostasis with Xiao and ask out y/n if you lose challenge.’
You can feel your heart pounding so furiously, you’re afraid he’ll hear it. Honestly, you wonder how he hasn’t taken a hint about your huge crush on him, considering everyone in your friend circle— and even some of Kuroo’s friends too— know about your excruciatingly painful and droughtful love life. ( And for some reason, even Lev texts you once in every few days to ask whether you confessed to Kenma or not )
When no one addresses the elephant in the room for another few seconds, you decide to take the initiative. “Um, how about I order a take out?”
Then Kenma’s words follow along. “Actually, I have all the baking stuff from the last time.” You sigh. What did you even expect, for the Kenma Kozume to bake for himself, when his favorite task is to annoy you while you’re busy baking him delicacies? Not possible. He would’ve said further, but his eyes follow yours to the computer screen.
‘WAIT YOU BOTH ARE GOING TO COOK TOGETHER?!!?!! CUTE!!’
“I think we should order a takeout.” He suggests shyly, a smile climbing up your face at his actions, one that morphs into a chuckle as you mutter, ‘you’re so cute’ as if your face isn’t looking like a tomato itself.
You grab your phone and browse through the menu until you receive a call, the ID revealing your friend's name. You excuse yourself out of the room while Kenma buries his face in his hands again, his face turning redder than before. Your faint voice reaches his ears from behind the closed door of his room; he’s left wondering if your voice always felt like a melody when listened to from a distance.
There’s a soft smile on his lips. He doesn’t realize how it got there, or since when it has been residing. All he knows is that his heart is beating swiftly and maybe this time, he wouldn’t deny it. His ears perk up as the sound of you opening the door pulls him out of his dreamlands, eyes wide open at the sight of his computer because he almost forgot about the stream.
“I’m back!” You chime in, sitting next to him as you wave at the viewers. You look better than almost any horse before, when you were literally sweating out of nervousness, and honestly, Kenma loves to see you getting comfortable with things he likes. “Wait, do you guys know that Kenma cries during disney movies.?”
And even if Kenma likes you seeing you getting comfortable around him, he doesn’t mean he appreciates you exposing his habits and secrets to a million people. “You say it as if you don’t hind behind me while watc— wait,” His eyes zoom in at a comment as he proceeds to read it. “Kenma can I take y/n— no?! They’re mine, go look for someone else?!”
And here comes the heart palpitations.
The amount of times your heart has raced today should be enough to give you multiple heart attacks. Your eyes settle on Kenma, who looks a little too passive aggressive for someone who’s responding to a comment that’s a joke, and then his hands slide into yours again. This time, with a firm grip. While it may feel good, you hope it’s real, and that he’s not doing it for clout ( even though you know he, out of all people, doesn’t need any clout ) You hope that all the butterflies he gave you today mean something, because you’re sure you can’t handle these empty fluttering touches anymore.
The stream is long forgotten, and so are the viewers.
His gaze settles upon you, and you feel your heart doing somersaults as you feel his eyes travel down to your lips. And in the next second, before you know it, his lips are on yours, while the world seems to pause.
You don’t give it much thought— you couldn’t. Your brain feels misty and all you remember is that you’re kissing Kenma, the boy you’ve been in love with for so long. Instead, you tilt your head, kissing him back as he deepens the kiss. It feels like a cold breeze by the beach, you think, or maybe a warm blanket in winters. While you know the moment has to end, you don’t want his lips to leave yours.
Call it a jinx, but your eyes shoot open as you travel back to reality, remembering about the stream as you push him away before turning towards the computer with your flustered face. “I think we should end the stream here,” and you exit off Twitch just as quickly as Kenma logged in earlier today.
Then your eyes meet his, and words begin to fall out of his mouth. “Y/n, I’m sor—”
“I hope you meant it, Kenma.” That’s all you say. Actually, that’s all you could say, because it’s the only thing you wish for. He doesn’t reply, and you think it’s time to leave.
But then he ghosts up your hand, proceeding to cup your cheeks before inching dangerously closer to your face. “Trust me, I’ve been meaning to do it for over a year now.” And he connects your lips with his again.

The North Star - Part Five: Ask Me Again (NSFW) - Terry Bruno x Reader
Tumblr media
Welcome to mine and @the-hinky-panda The Bronx universe featuring our favs Terry Bruno & Mike Duarte.
This story takes place several years after 'Blood Out'. Terry still lives in the Bronx and works in Manhatten SVU.
Following on from @the-hinky-panda story 'The Dog' Mike has retired from the NYPD on medical grounds due to seizures causes by the attack. He has a therapy dog called Bono and lives with @the-hinky-panda character Meredith.
Tagging: @mysoulisasunflower @legit9thlunaticwarrior @bbyxoo @the-adzukibean @xoxabs88xox @crazy4chickennuggets @beardedbarba @wooshwastaken @justreblogginfics @im-just-a-mississippi-girl @storiesofsvu @anime-weeb-4-life
Part One: Moments
You fall asleep on the car ride home, Terry’s jacket draped over you, pulled up to your chin. The  temperature had dropped by the time you left Meredith’s. He runs hot, he always has but he knows you feel the cold. This thing with Paul, and this case it’s exhausting you. You’ve stayed late the last couple of nights, and he sees the weight pressing down on your shoulders. The robberies are high profile, increasingly violent and now they’ve taken an even darker turn which is how they’ve landed at your feet. The victims are mostly from City Park and the Spencer Estates, the latest now being Morris Park. The homeowners are not Upper East Side rich, but the items that were stolen were heirlooms, past down from generation to generation. Duarte thinks there’s something in that, all these pieces are one of a kind, historical items, each of their stories running so deep you can feel the echo of generations when you look at the pictures.
He turns down Billy Joel on the radio as he pulls up in front of his apartment building. His head tilts towards you and he smiles. You’re curled up in the heated seat, head resting against the window. There’s a contented smile on your features and he loves that, loves the fact you feel comfortable enough with him to let your guard down.
A little wine, some good food, and excellent company can solve all the world’s woes.
“Hey pretty girl,” he says softly into the darkness of the car as he uses gentle fingertips to brush a strand of hair away from your features. “We’re home.”
“Hm…” You grumble, shuffling further down into the confines of his jacket. “Leave me, I’m comfortable here.”
Terry chuckled, his thumb tracing over the apple of your cheek. You leaned into his touch, your lips brushing over the base of his palm.
“I’m not letting you sleep in the car.” He says with a smile as he undoes your seatbelt.
“Always such a hardass.” You mumble, rubbing the back of your wrist across your tired eyes.
“Somebody has to take care of you.”
“You always do.” You told him resolutely. “I trust you more than I trust myself sometimes.”
“Nah, you’ve got good instincts.” Terry said. His fingertips caught the delicate gold chain around your throat, following the trail down to the centre of your chest where that tiny compass resided. “You just need to listen to them.”
“I do.” You told him, your gaze lowering to the compass between his fingertips. “When I’m not sure where I’m headed, I look down at this and think what would Terry do? And then I do the opposite.”
Terry rolled his eyes before releasing the compass.
“My girl, the comedian.”
There was silence for a second as Terry unclasped his own seatbelt and removed the keys from the steering console.
“I do want to move in with you, you know?” You said abruptly, the words spilling from your lips. “It’s just hard for me.”
“I know.” He said, his lips pursing together grimly, his fingers wrapping around the steering wheel. “Meredith told me.”
“I didn’t want you to see me as a victim, the work you do…” You trailed off, swallowing hard against the well of emotion in your chest. “I didn’t want you to have that in your home life too.”
“I don’t see you as a victim.” Terry said inclining his head towards you. “I see you as a survivor. You went through something awful at the hands of someone who was supposed to care about you and you’re still standing. Do you know how much strength it takes to do that?” Terry asked, angling his body towards you. “To get yourself out of that situation. You must have been terrified and you pushed through it. I admire that, I respect that.”
“Look…” Terry said meeting your gaze. His hand reached out to clasp yours, his thumb trailing over the indentation of your knuckles. “Move in with me, don’t move in with me. It doesn’t matter. I just want you feel safe, I want you to be able to sleep at night and know that everything’s going to be ok, that nothing is going to hurt you.”
“I love you; you know that?” You told him, leaning in close and inhaling that intoxicating scent. Your fingertips traced over the line of his jaw, your lips brushing over his softly. “Sometimes I look at you and I wonder how I got so lucky.”
“Luck had nothing to do with it.” Terry said quietly as he kissed you. “The two of us, it’s fate.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
“Ask me again.” You whisper against his lips. You have him at your mercy, your hands threaded in his hair as you straddle his lap, his cock buried deep inside of you. There’s a flush across both of his cheeks, it reminds you of peaches and cream as you arch just a little taking him even deeper. His eyes are wild, locked on yours as you rock just a little coaxing a low moan from his throat. You have him at his peak, standing at the crest of the mountain and you are right there with him. His calloused palms roam up your curve of your back, clasping you close, holding on for dear life.
“Move in with me.”
His voice is husky and rough, his pupils blown as you sink down on him once more, tugging his head back and baring his throat. There’s an intimacy in the gesture, a sense of vulnerability and trust. You love him and this is your way of showing it, of reminding him that he’s yours, he’ll aways be yours.
You tantalise, you tease, you strip away every ounce of his control until he’s desperate and reckless, skin pressed so tightly against yours because he can’t stand not to touch you, not to feel you on every level. You drive him to the precipice, holding him there until the only thing he can focus on is the blurring of heaven and earth as he hits that rapture.
“Please, pretty girl.” He asks as he clings to the edge.
You know what he’s asking, it’s not just the moving in, it’s the commitment. The promise that you’re ready to take the next step, that you’re ready to trust him as much as he trusts you. It’s the final act, the shedding of that fear that sends you hurtling over the edge and plummeting into the sea of ecstasy. It washes over your synapses, drowning you like a wave until the only word on your lips is ‘yes’. You lose track of yourself, but Terry is always there, always grounding you. His hands are on your hips, his mouth smothering yours, drinking down your moans, your words and everything else you can give him as he spills himself inside of you.
You lose yourself in the bliss, the sense of belonging that comes with this man as he kisses you like you’re the only woman in the world. The only one he’s ever truly loved.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It rains that night. Terry can hear the patter on the bedroom window as he lies in the darkness with your body draped over his. Your face is buried in the hallow of his throat, your arm thrown over his chest. His thumb trails over the curve of your spine, caressing your bare skin underneath the sheets. There was a perfection in this moment. The rhythm of your breathing against his. In the space of twenty-four hours his life has been flipped upside down and now he was considering the future.
There was a house for sale in Meredith’s neighbourhood, a couple of bedrooms, a small yard if you wanted a dog. It needed a little work, but the location was solid, and he had the money to renovate. He knew you would fight him on that point but the two of you would work out the details, you always did.
He thinks of the house with hardwood floors, your Aztec style rug in the living room along with his couch. A king-sized bed to go with the quilt he’d had to buy in the beginning of the relationship because you hoovered up the duvet when you were cold. The matching nightstands, you’d bought from a thrift shop before upcycling them with wallpaper and chalk paint. He wants to build a home with you, a place filled with laughter and love. He wants it to belong to both of you, for you to be able to come home and just relax in a space of your own. He longs for nights where you fall asleep with your head in his lap, a fire burning in the hearth, his fingers stroking through your hair. The two of you content.
This is what he falls asleep thinking about, with you in his arms. The life the two of you will have, the one you’ll create together.

I have a pretty new Yandere blog, how do you get people to interact with and request and enjoy your oc’s?
And can I request more from the Yandere Ai? Like how their first days went?
hi🖤 first off, congrats on your new blog! yanderes are amazing to write for! and second, honestly, just have fun with it! that probably sounds so superficial and vague, but tbh it's true! i put tags in my fic posts that my saying that my requests are open. that's usually about it when it comes to advertising my oc's lol.
also, i like to give my oc's very distinct and specific writings towards their characters. for example since you're starting a yandere blog, think about what kind of yandere you like or others may like in terms of anime, media, writings, asmr, etc.. like, what kind of yandere are they? are they soft, cute, and lovesick about the reader or full-blown obsessed, crazy, and driven by the reader's cries. they can also be somewhere in-between. is the reader willing or not? what are the traits/personalities of your oc's? when you think yandere, who do you imagine? femboy built? bara-body built? it's up to you! they are your oc's. (i like writing willing readers bc it's much more fun to write about, but that's just me)
this is just me, but i also like to incorporate how others would feel and talk in my scenarios. i dislike dere/anime scenarios that have stereotypical responses and cliches or make the reader seem like they can't do anything. i hate that trope in manga and anime, so it transfers into my writing.
in my mind, having the mc say "ok fuck it we ball" or "fuck yeah, awooga" is much more entertaining than the same stockholm syndrome "omg sexy yandere pls don't take me from me from my tyrannical responsibilities and giving me food and a place to live rent free aaahhhh" cliches. again, that's just my opinion. if you want to write something like that, it's completely up to you. i like my fics to be relatable and fun to read. it all genuinely depends on the direction you want to take for your blog and your fics.
once you start writing and starting molding your oc's and going the flow with your writing, people will read. soon enough, people will put in requests and more will enjoy your writing.
and if i can give you any advice: just have fun and don't try too hard. even if no one requests as long as you enjoy it and do your best, you'll be fine. it's your blog! i used to have the same feeling when i wrote my first arata ryuu fic. then he became a follower fav, and now yami ai is tied at being the first follower fav with him! which just fuels me to write even more dere husbandos i have lined up!
and lastly, ofc! it'll probably be a reaction fic since it seems like a simple prompt.
have fun and i hope to read your fics in the future!

CANDY: He likes hard candy! And also little puffy pastries with honey. Honey probably is his favorite

Okay I gotta get that out somewhere and you’re the best person to ask that but I feel like my brain is going wild and reaching but like,,, I wanna see the whole design of Godwin‘s Daedalus times because I feel like Crow‘s WRPG riding jacket looks super similar to the one he wears in the Flashbacks where he jumps from the bridge and 🥹🥹🥹 idk it might just be the color and the details but I think that would be so cute. Literally the Daedalus Legend is one of my fav things about Satellite lore.
Finally, finally I can answer this ask! I'm sorry it took so long but I had to go back and rewatch like three episodes to even find young Rex Goodwin's design because as it turns out, the guy is seen in riding gear in exactly two flashbacks in the entire show and I was incapable of finding an animator's reference for him.
So. Allow me to put on my nerd hat and break down my findings for you.
Tumblr media
Exhibit A: Crow's riding suit. (These were the best screenshots I had of it). So, basic colour scheme: Brown, black, orange, and yellow/gold. Simple enough. Note the simple collar that splits off into Crow's usual, high collar and the shape of his jacket closure.
As for Goodwin...
Tumblr media
Exhibit B: Young Goodwin's first design, as we see him when Crow tells the story of the legendary duellist. And yes, you read that right: Young Goodwin actually has two designs, and as you'll see, this is going to turn out to be a bit of an inconsistency. (Also, excuse the garbage quality of the images. This guy is hard to get a hold of, for one, and for some reason, my internet did not like rewatching this episode.) Anyway, note the lack of sleeves and shoulder pads. Also, no gloves. You could argue that the detailing around the split collar here is also brown-ish gold, though. All around not very safe motorcycling gear. Not much protection offered. Also, there's a button. I could not figure out what for. Moving on.
Tumblr media
Exhibit C: Yoing Goodwin's second design, the one we see in the flashback when Yusei talks to him during the DS arc's final duel. Funnily enough, this one has sleeves! And shoulder pads! (And they're not the same colour as Crow's, but vaguely the same shape.) Also, knee pads again. And heavy-duty boots to go with them this time. What's more, the brown-ish/golden detailing is a lot more obvious here. And Goodwin has gloves here, but unlike Crow's, they disappear under his jacket. The colour scheme isn't far off from Crow's riding suit, though.
Finally...
Tumblr media
Exhibit D: Their backs. (It was impossible to get a back shot of young Goodwin #2, I'm sorry) What stands out here is that Crow's outfit is all around more detailed. But then, given that Goodwin's outfit is presumably thrown together with whatever he had, whereas Crow's is a professional riding suit, that's not all that surprising. Both have diagonal thingies here. If they serve a functional purpose, I have not found it.
Verdict: So, here's the thing. I can definitely see some similarities here. The shoulder pads have the same shape, both have yellow/brown/golden detailing around the collar and the front of the jacket, and at least going from Goodwin's second design, both have black gloves, too. And, of course, all three jackets are brown. I don't know if that's enough to say that Crow intentionally took inspiration from the man who built the Daedalus bridge, but you can see some nods here and there, I'd say. (If nothing else, it might be a cheeky add-in by the animators.) As for the inconsistency between Goodwin's two designs, allow me to introduce a silly headcanon: Since the first design is seen in Crow's version of the story of the legendary duellist, this may be how Crow imagined him to look. Even though Goodwin's "real" design is slightly different (and safer lmao).
But yeah, make of this what you will! This was all I could find, haha.

20 questions for fic writers
Tagged by @a-little-bit-of-ravioli
1. How many works do you have on A03?
31! Wow! Not even counting my FF.net and Spirit (portuguese site) fics too. I think adding them would be around 50? I know for sure I have much more than that in my drive.
2. What's your total A03 word count?
739.765 Whaaaaat? That's so many! And it's mostly the ones I write in english!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Inuyasha, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, My Hero Academia and Legend of Zelda, more specifically LU!
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
A Link in a chain . My first LU fic! My baby <3 Modern day, soulmate marking and platonic soulmates. The main focus is Wild getting to know them, then Legend accepting the others and finally Spirit joining them.
All Might said 'No'. This was a prompt for a MHA server and I had a lot of fun! All Might is the literal quirk, like a ghost protecting the Midoriyas.
Alpha and Omega. That was a challenge! In almost every way possible. Omegaverse, Toshinko
Merman. Also from a prompt. Merperson au, Toshinko.
Soul clock. Also from a prompt. Soulmate au where there's a clock counting down the time until you meet your soulmate. Toshinko and some platonic relationships mentioned too
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Always! I love to receive comments. Even key-smashing make my day a lot better when I check the email
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably The Sacred Trees. It's more like a happy ending with heavy consequences. I live for happy ending, not sorry about that. They will suffer but they will be happy eventually.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
All of them? I'd dare say the happiest was Took You Long Enough, a Midlink reunion during LU and then afterwards. From the concluded, that's the happiest one but there's an even better one coming from a different fic not posted yet :D
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not recently, but I did in the Inuyasha and Katekyo fandom! I usually say a simple "thank you for your critique" because this usually throw people off enough that they leave me alone.
9. Do you write smut?
No! There's some heavily implied things, but nothing graphic or very descriptive (by very heavily, I'm counting the omegaverse fic too; I liked the concept but wanted something with less sex)
10. Do you write crossovers?
Not oftenly, but yes! The last one I wrote was a MHA and LU crossover when the brain was divided between them.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Once! The person copied one of my biggest series in portuguese, changed the name of the characters and some physical descriptions but it was basically the same. I asked them to put down, but had to dm some of the site's admin to make sure it was deleted.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! Once by a friend from the MHA fandom and they encouraged me a lot to write more in english and give it a try. I'm here now so thanks to her!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes! It will never see the light of day though, but my bestie and I created a whole novel about a couple and how the wife slowly got mad and then killed him in the end.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
Hmm, that's too hard! I have many favorites!
Probably Zelink. LoZ is my old new obsession, it always go back and forth between the games as they are released or as I play again and the animes I'm watching. BotW and TotK gave me so much shipping material I'll be happily reading it until the next game is released.
A close second would be Kyoya/Chrome from KHR. I just love their dynamic, specially when they help each other to grow (and Mukuro being a gremlin jealous older sibling, that's the cherry on top)
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
A fanfic for the Grand Chase game when I played it. Ryan almost dies when they cross a desert, Ronan is sent to another world and needs to complete some quests to do that (he's my fav alright? I just needed a reason to send him to another world and do quests by himself, maybe question his faith and all that). I wrote maybe 30k? The idea is lovely and taunts me from a distance but I've never come back to writing it
16. What are your writing strengths?
A very good question... I'd say creating AUs. I love world building and leaving small details that have significance for the story later, I think I do an okay job at balacing dialogue and descriptions. My beta says I'm good at leaving crumbles in the story to solve the problem in the end too
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Punctuation in any language! Ugh, I just love commas sooooo much!
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
English punctuation doesn't make much sense for me until now! I'm relying heavily on the corrector and trying to read more to see if I can absorb the info.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Inuyasha!
20. Favorite fic you've ever written?
I'm very self indulgent when writing so I like most of them. I'd say the longest time favorite in portuguese is Librarian, a Toshinko fic where Inko is the hero and Toshinori is a librarian she meets because her son is a book geek. In english is A Link in a chain.
Wow, that was a lot! Alright, lemme tag @musical-chan , @arecaceae175 and anyone else interested in doing! :D

Owl House S3 Episodes Ranking(Most to Least Fav)
I loved season 3 and think the crew did an amazing job wrapping the story nicely while only have 3 episodes. I have so much respect for them. I’m asking this question out of curiosity, not to disrespect the hard work done.
My ranking:
Watching & Dreaming
This finale is one of my favorites of all time. The Collector got really good development, Luz’s sacrifice and Titan form, the animation was beautiful, and pretty much every scene brought something beautiful. The fight scenes were amazingly animated and thrilling to watch. Belos’ death was so satisfying and watching him get stomped to death was somehow pretty funny. The post-credit was super cute and I liked the way the characters said bye to the audience through the Collector. The King-ceañera was sweet because I remember hearing that S3 would’ve had an episode with Luz celebrating her quinceañera. It’s sad that the episode didn’t happen but I’m glad it was included into the finale.
Thanks to Them
Luz and Hunter carried this episode for me. I really connected with them and their struggles- mental health struggles. Seeing Camila get more spotlight was great. She’s an amazing mom! The montage of what the crew was doing in the Human realm was cute and kind of bittersweet because these scenes could’ve been made into episodes, especially with Hunter questioning his identity. I liked seeing Vee again and her new human look is adorable. Flapjack’s death always makes me tear up. He was my favorite palisman so it made his sacrifice hurt more. I’m glad Belos got his retribution for all the pain he caused.
For the Future
I enjoyed this episode. Seeing everyone (Matt, Emira and Eldric, and Boscha) was great. I was happy to see Willow get some spotlight since she was pushed back for the past few episodes. I relate to her anxiety on having to keeping things together and trying to always be reliable. Hunter developing powers was great(he has a part of Flapjack left). The Huntlow moments were adorable; they are my second favorite ship and seeing them grow closer was so cute. Seeing Luz resolve her issues was great and her palisman is adorable.
The only thing that drops this episode down my ranking is the inclusion of Kikimora. Personally, I don’t care enough for Kikimora that I would want her to come back. I would’ve been fine with her last scene being in the S2 finale. I understand that she was a secondary character to Boscha’s development, but I don’t care about Boscha that much to say that Kikimora coming back was worth it. I think it bothers me because we spent a good chunk of that episode focusing on Boscha and Kikimora that the episode felt stagnant at moments. I would’ve preferred The Collector having more screen time. This issue doesn’t make me hate the episode, but it is my least favorite S3 episode.

*pointing* degrees of lewdity!!!! I feel like I’ve seen you reblogged some stuff but I’m only now registering it! Fav character? Fav storyline? What you do with your character?
Yay!!! I'm so happy to get degrees of lewdity asks!
Out of all of the npc's Morgan is my favorite. Something about a man who thinks I'm his daughter, who thinks this is how a parent shows his child love, who fucks me so rough I pass out, who says I "need to be punished", I'm "disgracing our family", that he's hurting me because "He loves me", he tells me "It's all because I love you" really just...is so hot and nasty and sexy to me.
Out of the love interests, Sydney is my favorite. He's so sweet and loving and kind, even after you corrupt him. He's so in love with the player that he doesn't care what happens and disregards his faith almost entirely and that's very cute of him.
I haven't gotten very far in any storylines, at least I don't think I have, but I like interactions with Whitney, and Kylar's story looks very interesting!
My pc's promiscuity, exhibitionism, and deviancy are max, and I give in a lot when I'm in fights/interactions because I think it's fun and I'm playing a porn game for the porn so, I would like to see the porn lol. My main love interest is Sydney, with Whitney as the second I believe. I have the cow trait and I work very hard to keep it!!! I love when npc's call me their "little cowgirl" and cute stuff like that (〃ω〃) while at the underground farm my pc would get fucked to exhaustion a lot so I ended up with lots of tattoos from Remy, I got them all removed except for 'animal' on the tummy/pubic area.
My pc is so fucked up, lol.

Give me your strong opinions/headcanons on Harley Quinn❤️🖤
Transgender
had a pretty intense and genuinely embarrassing truecrime girly phase through like her late teens/college. probably would have started a podcast if shed had the ability at the time.
i think that and her desire to pursue a career in psychiatry/work at arkham sorta stem from this same root interest in like understanding why certain people commit violent crimes which was well-intended but ultimately came from a kind of ableist place. like she always sympathized really heavily with the people in her care but also like subconsciously saw a lot of them as these poor lost little lambs that needed her help rather than full complex human beings and thats what kinda fucked her in the end.
generally an empathetic person. tends to take on other peoples burdens. sometimes to an unhealthy degree.
i think her and bruce actually have a lot in common in that regard and when theyre not actively at odds they vibe p well for that and other reasons. also shes just the sort of person whos rly easy to get along with. she may one of if not the only rogue who none of the others rly has any lasting beef with.
bi and poly (this is basically canon anyway). i feel like some ppl tend to act as if shes only ever dated the joker and pamela but i def think shes been in and out of a lot of relationships over the years, some better than others.
she has a bad habit of 1) finding kinda messed up power dynamics a lil sexy and 2) harboring some serious "i can fix them" energy when it comes to her more obviously misguided crushes. she likes the security of a partner who she feels like will take care of her but who still relies on her emotionally and unfortunately some people use that to take advantage.
i dont know if she would necessarily consciously identify as a Femme but like. she soo is.
this is like more related to my specific dyke scarecrow au than anything canon but i see them as old exes. in true dyke fashion, they have stayed good friends in spite of the breakup. take this one or leave it but either way i like the two of them as besties soo much.
has always struggled with this impulse towards violence especially when shes feeling restless or manic. (i say struggled but shes probably having a blast with it now) i think in the past she was very self conscious about this (especially when she was newly out and trying very hard to be perceived as feminine) and tried very hard to present herself as someone self contained and in control. for better or for worse, shes much happier when shes allowed to be a force of chaos.
lowkey had a weeb phase. still very much loves j-fashion and magical girl anime. plays some video games but largely prefers the feel of a big clunky cabinet arcade game over a home console. its the buttons, the lights, the ability to loudly and dramatically tip the whole thing over if youre mad enough about losing. has watched mlp. fav is pinkie pie. obviously.
there is an aspect of her like hyper girly almost childish persona which is kind of a performance. like. it is her to a degree, but its also kind of a coping mechanism. almost like a form of drag, shes leaning into the stereotype to get a rise out of people or to protect herself. sometimes both at once. the few people who really know her well enough will start to notice little tells to differentiate when shes really feeling the vibe and when shes deliberately putting on a show.
has definitely given herself a shit haircut/dye job while in a depression spiral.
generally its just like. she feels so so so so so much all the time like oh my god make it stop for two seconds.
theres probs more but this is what i feel certain of in this moment ✌️

hi! so first of all i just wanna say i think you may be my fav mxtx artist like ever i wanna put everyone in my mouth i love your artstyle so much! and second of all, which mxtx novel is your fav so far??
GSKSGKSGSKDHDKS that’s so sweet of you, thank you so much!!!
Gosh that’s tough to answer cause it often depends on my mood. I think vibe-wise I would have to say TGCF; I look forward to the new books tremendously, but the one I’ve had the most ‘fun’ with thus far has been SVSSS, which surprised me. It’s unhinged and at times hard to read BUT it’s got such a wonderful voice and the meta-ness of it just adds this layer of “this situation is such a mess but we’re gonna make it out the other side anyway somehow and be better for it”. It does also help that that’s the one that I’ve finished reading the main story for. The characters are ones I sort of universally liked and were well established/balanced throughout. I watched the animated show a number of times and was quite sad that it was put behind a paywall on YouTube.
I do also love MDZS but my hyperfixation for it for whatever reason usually crops up when I’m currently reading the novel as opposed to all times? And is isolated to canon. I think it may be because it’s got such a heavy theme of mystery/tragedy/politics that I don’t feel like I have enough information to make judgements/stray from established character or plot until the story is over or nearing its completion. I just feel like I haven’t peeled back all it’s layers yet. I’m having a great time getting there though!!!
Also I just wanted to note how many people have said they want to put characters/art into their mouths. I have no idea what this means but it’s fascinating

Whats the worst thing someone can name their kid(s) ? Favorite shoe brand ? How many kandi singles do you think you could make in one sitting ? Do you like fairy lights ? Would you want to live in a tiny home ? Do you like pancakes or waffles more ? Do you think time should stop for me and only me so i can catch a Damn Break ? If you had the power to do so , what would you make illegal ?
( gender-darling 🦭 )
we do! but only a specific brand which i cannot say or i will doxx myself hfjkds
just plain!
ahhh favorite animal is hard! i dont think we have one! it used to be aardvarks
also cannot choose a second fav i feel bad :(
fav song well MINE is I Can't Decide (that tells you who i am right away fhdsjkf)
urple duh but uh collectively we like green and yellow!
ideal pizza is dominos with pepperoni, italian sausage, and jalapenos PLUS id love stuffed crust with that!! (we dont get it as stuffed crust irl tho)
CALZONES yes yes
uhhh probably like ...malibu barbie COUGH COUGH who said that /silly /lh

ahhhhhh it really depends on how they are made! cause sometimes waffles can suck and sometimes pancakes could taste like shit... also it depends on my mood... probably pancakes like from a coney island? those are usually a safe bet

yes ofcrs....I do think the bunny tatto have to do smthng with dy, considering how ty is...the way he didnt mentioned or explain the reason behind it also makes a definitive conclusion...mayb dy didnt want him to let the world knw abt it evn tho they r best frnds...u knw how dy behave sometimes...he can announce that he brought couple rings nd even said it himself that they r togthr when ty went to hiatus....nd ofcrs ty wont cross the line if dy didnt want it...
The thing about ty is he wants some things or ppl that he loves dearly to commemorate...if he tattoos ruby for the memory then I am sure the bunny is dy..I dont really ship them but sometimes I do really think , there must have be a milli second that ty would want do in his life forever..like it would be heaven if he get dy....I am not trying to convey my word into them as a ship or real...I dont quite follow their interactions, but whenever it happens u knw , y dont they...like that....I nd may be the reason ty was very loud about saying I love u to dy nd he is ma fav whenever he got chances, even the bts of mv shootings dont knw how many times he shouted dy's name..like dy himself asked the staff that y does he love me that much?? Just wondering what is he going to do without him....haha...joking tho...
nd the thing about jae is he can only just watch it..haha....poor boy... whenever dotae happens he must have something to add on it...like when dy said ty is cute baggy Jean's audio live , nd mark said he got touched by dys confession, then jae said Aah i was looking at them ,they cant meet the eyes.. nd during fact check smini mark said the song ( I think its loves a beauty) ty wrote it thinking about dy, then jae said like ty said not to mention it...like he cant sit still ...for latest con, when dotae having their moment,ty talking about their love nd 11 yrs of friendship then jae said should we give you some private time on the back?? Hahaha....like u knw not jealousy but something that makes him jump from the seat...may b he couldn't get out of that teenage boy jae within him....haha..nd really sorry for changing the topic...
So my conclusion as a an observer (ofcrs not good as u) I am srsly sure about that tatto related with do nd ofcrs there is a clear reason behind him giving the whale painting for his bday..(ofcrs I dont knw the reason tho) ...nd dont knw how he will survive without his team on military...I am gonna miss him so much...
I actually do think Taeyong is that dependant on Do and did have a more than a minute long thought of wanting him forever, lol. He said it directly to Do afterall. And he doesn't care about Jaehyun's wrath.
It's right to be careful with "wishful thinking", no need to describe how fans in general like to overthink and imagine absolutely unrealistic rainbow scenarios. However, in the end it comes to the individual under scrutinity. Taeyong wrote a whole song about his dog and talked about her as his only friend in high school in Lost boys. I love animals, I dedicated my life to them as a zoologist and animal artist, and even for me it is hard to imagine such dedication for a small old pet. Tae is very grateful to his sister, he said his home where his mom is, he loves his nephew, he talks about Baekhyun's support non-stop, he can't let go of his favourite dongsaeng Jaehyun, he supports his friends like Johnny or Yuta (when JohnDo had a fall out, Tae tried to pay Johnny attention a lot before cameras, smooth out the situation), he sacrificed a lot for his group, endured bullying accusations not wanting to drag into it the person involved - he is emotional and clings to the people he formed bonds with.
That being said, Tae changed in the last two years, noticeably matured, he spends more and more time with his producer friends and managers, in the city as well. He started to live alone. He is aiming for emotional independance. So he will probably be able to go through the military ok. Plus conscripts can now use mobile phones any time, so he won't be cut off from his friends and family.
Heh, Jaehyunie. Yes, he needs to include himself. And who can blame him. His friendship with Tae is complicated.
The whale for Tae is positive mental health. He compared his inner demons with sharks, and the whale is a big kind calm creature swimming in the blue sea/sky. Maybe it's him at times as well.
"Now the size of my heart is only a real whale
The shark in my mind is no longer there"
He probably talked more about whales in some of his lives, but can't find the info right now.

7, 13, 18, 24 though i think i know what you'll say on that one lol
7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because of how the fandom acts about them?
No one in Death Note! I hate pretty much every popular fanon version of the characters, but it only makes me appreciate their canon selves more.
One character from a different franchise I came to dislike, though, is Bernadetta (FE3H), unfortunately. I don't think I've met one fan that is even remotely normal about her. Doesn't help that she's essentially a caricature of certain mental illnesses + screams too much for my liking, so I already had a hard time warming up to her.
13. worst blorboficiation
L? If it means what I think it means, haha. But yeah, sorry, too many people who have L as their fav have a very bad grasp on his character. One of the most popular characters in manga/anime, and yet you rarely see him liked for his actual personality.
Before I read the manga, I thought he would bore me to death because of how I've seen people talk about him. Boy, was I wrong.
18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on…
Honestly, so much about the second half of DN: Light's inner conflicts + how he changed, Mikami, Kiyomi, Sidoh, and how interesting Mello and Near are as L's successors, to name a few examples.
24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse
Yeah, definitely L's mannerisms. Not just because of the Ryuzaki Persona theory, but also because of the infantilisation, the not-so-subtle ableist insults, and dehumanisation.
It's not like his "quirks" are completely out there. They might be unusual, but not implausible at all. I've met people much, much "stranger" than him, so all the discourse around it surprises me.

Words: 1374
News travels fast in the hospital. Whether it’s an unexpected visitor or a rare, attractive case, the entire hospital would know about it within five minutes of the patient's arrival.
Nurses will whisper amongst each other.
Doctors will write notes and huddle into small groups to make observations with what little information they have.
It has been this way since Tsunade was a trainee following her Sensei around the hallways, and she had no doubt that it would continue long after she had passed away. Some things simply never changed.
Gossip kept the hospital thriving, and Tsunade lived off of it. She loved it. So when she saw some Nurses huddling in close and heard them whispering amongst themselves, she couldn’t help but slide in a little closer and try to catch just a bit of what they were saying.
“All over his body?” One nurse gasped. “How bad are they?”
“Some of them are deeper than others,” another whispered, moving in just a little closer to her co-workers. “There’s blood on a few of them, but most of them are just surface bites.”
Tsunade’s interest was now officially peaked.
“But what kind of animal would do that?” the first nurse asked. “Usually they just attack one spot. They don’t bite all over.”
“He said it was a dog.” The second answered with a shrug of her shoulders.
“A dog,” the third Nurse huffed. “Right. I doubt that.”
“Dogs do bite though,” The first nurse pipped up. “And he does spend a lot of time around Kakashi-san. Doesn’t he have dogs?”
Someone who spent a lot of time with Kakashi, who had bite marks all over his body. Tsunade didn’t need to stick around for the rest of the conversation. She knew exactly who the patient was.
Clearing her throat, she refrained from smirking when all three Nurses jumped in surprise. “T-Tsunade-Sama!?”
“What room?” she asked, determined to see this mess of a man for herself.
“Ummm, well…he’s not really fond of having just anyone walk in,” the second nurse, most likely the one who was helping their patient since she seemed to have all of the information, whispered. “He asked me to keep this between us and the doctor.”
“And who is the doctor?”
“Well…”
After a short pause, Tsunade shook her head. “I’ll take your silence to mean a doctor hasn’t been chosen yet,” it was only logical of course. This was a man known for being stubborn and hard-headed. He wouldn’t allow just anyone to see him in such embarrassing conditions. “I’ll take over then. If the damage is as bad as it sounds he’s going to need the best person possible to care for him.”
And she was going to need a story to hold over his and Kakashi’s heads for the rest of her life. It was only fair after all of the headaches they gave her busting down shops and causing havoc with their competitions.
“Room number, please.”
“Oh, um, Room 222.”
With her destination obtained, Tsunade turned her back to the nurses and began walking away. Before she reached the end of the hallway, though, she peered over her shoulder to see them huddled together once again.
“Alright you three!” she called out to them, causing all three of them to jump up in surprise. “Back to work. It’s rude to talk about Patients behind their backs.”
‘Even ruder not to include me’ she thought to herself as she continued down the hallway towards her new destination.
Tsunade could have provided a warning of her arrival. It was standard procedure to knock on a patient's door before opening it, allowing them a moment to get themselves together if they were in the middle of something.
This situation didn’t call for a warning, though. It demanded immediate action, and as soon as the door swung open Tsunade knew she was right to ignore standard procedure for this particular issue.
There, directly in front of her, stood Maito Gai. His signature green jumpsuit pooled around his waist while he sat on the hospital bed looking like the picture-perfect mix of a deer caught in the lantern light, and a turtle who wished for nothing less than the ability to draw himself into his own skin and hide from the ridicule that he knew was headed his way.
“Oh,” her eyes scanned over his body, taking in every single mark on his skin. “When the nurse told me you were covered, I didn’t think it was this bad.”
Every inch of his skin was covered in bite marks. From deep, bloody bites to shallow marks left by sharp teeth. Not a single area of his arms, chest or even neck had been spared from the attack.
“Tsuande-Sama,” Gai’s eyes nearly popped right out of his head when he saw her. “I- I didn’t think that the nurse-”
“That she’d ask for me?” A smirk tugged at her lips. This was even more fun than she had thought it would be. “Well, I was told you were attacked by a rather vicious dog,” she made sure to enunciate the final word, her smirk growing wider when Gai averted his eyes. “It does look like quite the attack.”
Shutting the door behind her, she made her way towards Gai and leaned forward to get a closer look at the bite marks. Right around his nipple was the worst one, with dry blood clinging to his chest and angry red marks that looked almost inflamed.
“Can you tell me something about this dog?” she asked, trying to keep herself from laughing as she examined another bite mark, this time on his neck. One of the few that had only left a shallow mark. “It seems it was alert enough to refrain from ripping your neck out.”
“Well, it was rather…big.” Gai whispered, refusing to meet her eyes when she glanced up at him.
“Mmmhmm.”
“And…it was playful,” he added. “It didn’t mean to hurt me. I think it just got excited.”
Excited. She wanted so badly to reach out and smack Gai across the side of his head, but it was likely to cause him even more pain than he was already in.
“Did it have sharp teeth?” she pushed for more information.
“Very sharp, yes.” Nodding his head, Gai cringed, no doubt feeling the pain of all those bites on his neck being aggravated.
“Sharp teeth and playful,” she repeated. “And tell me, this dog. Did it happen to have silver hair and a Sharingan?”
If it was possible for a man to die from embarrassment, Tsunade was certain it would have happened to Gai at that moment. His fingers curled into the edge of the hospital bed, breaking off a piece into his hand, and when she reached out to touch his forehead it was burning, not with a fever but with embarrassment.
She had hit the nail right on the head and she couldn’t have been prouder of herself for that.
“Well,” standing up straight she grinned when Gai dared to look up at her. “We can take care of those bites pretty easily.”
“Y-you can?” Gai asked, a hopeful tone in his voice.
“Of course, I can. And I’ll even help you out a bit when we’re done,” he cringed when her smile grew wider. “I’ll give you a muzzle. That should stop your adorable pup from biting you again.”
If only Kakashi was in the room, she’d love to see his face at the suggestion.
Where Gai dared to snicker at the mental image, allowing himself just a moment of joy in a rather embarrassing situation, Kakashi would no doubt glare at her. His face would turn a bright, crimson red, but his eyes wouldn’t give away his embarrassment. No, his eyes would narrow into that threatening glare. The look she had seen him give Naruto when the kid’s back was turned to him, or which he would shoot at Asuma whenever he made a joke at his expense. His silent promising her a quick, painless death if she ever went through with that promise.
Most importantly, though, she regretted not seeing that Hatake Pout. The one she knew Kakashi had inherited from his father because she had seen it in action when he was still just a kid.
The was a look worth risking death over, though Kakashi would never actually try to kill her even if he threatened to.
He wouldn’t stand a chance.

My Summer 2023 favs
Like last season, I kept up with four new shows that I vibed with the most! I would love for all these shows to get more episodes (only one has a second season confirmed), but I'm grateful for what we got so far. Masterful Cat still has one more ep but I'm comfy enough to give my thoughts on it a lil early for my seasonal anime post:
Undead Murder Farce: This one I watched kind of on a whim and I am SO glad I did, I fell in love with this cast. Aya Rindo the genius detective who is also an immortal severed head that has one joke she makes about that to wonderful effect, Tsugaru the :> half demon weird silly guy who's also an incredibly skilled fighter, and Shizuku the battle maid who is also very lesbian. The trio is polycule of the season no question. The animation was stylish and cool, the mysteries all had me hooked, humor was on point, and they used a ton of public domain characters from the era in fun and unique ways that all felt true to themselves. I'd love to have more of this one someday.
The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again, Today: This one made me ugly cry the most (seriously just watch the ED and picture Chiral ugly sobbing at it. It hit hard at where I'm at in life rn, and reading the author's note in the first vol of the manga hit home why I think, they said they wrote it when they were very tired and were looking for a reprieve from that, and also really wanted a cat. Something about the premise felt queer to me in a way I can't articulate, but then there were two girls canonically crushing on the main girl Saku so then we got actual queerness. Yukichi deserves all the hugs.
Atelier Ryza: I love the games, so I was really happy to have the first (well part of the first) adapted! Klaudia is my fav and they did so right by the babygorl. Klaudia x Ryza forever 💖
Reborn as a Vending Machine: I don't watch a lot of isekai but this one's premise was so stupid I had to, and it was a nice and fun lighthearted show. I saw someone say you just need a show that's candy sometimes, and this was definitely that. I majorly respect the manga writer's intense hyperfixation on all things vending machine.

As mentioned in my last post, for Barou's birthday (even tough it's still the 26th where I live) here's just me talking about how much and why I love Barou
Warning: I get a little bit corny and a bit personal
I think the first thing to start is obviously my big brother complex. And funfact, Barou was the character that made me realize I have one in the first place. I knew I had a father complex, but it took Barou to make me realize I have a big brother complex as well. I don't remember if I realized that after or before finding out he has two younger sisters but yeah.
I see Barou as a big brother figure to myself, I absolutely love writing big brother!Barou stuff and I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.
I don't know what made me start liking him so much, but I quickly fell into having Barou as one of my favourite characters and while my taste in my favs has always changed, Barou is the only one who has stayed this high for this long (Ego would be right behind that, I think.)
I don't relate to much of Barou's personality. We're very very different as the type of person we are. But one thing that is just incredibly comforting to me are his urges to perfection and the compulsions that com along. I used to struggle with compulsions A LOT and one of them was having to open the window to let air in. I had a ritual in which I repeated 2 or 3 things (sometimes over and over) and one of those things was opening the window. That one scene where Baroutells Isagi and Nagi to let air into the room? Just a little scene, a little moment, but to me it holds a lot of comfort. I haven't struggled with any compulsions in a while, and I think Barou might have subconsciously helped me to deal with that because of the comfort this part of him gives me.
I know those things don't necessarily have to be interpreted as Barou having compulsions, but I interpret them that way.
Also, his perfectionism. I'm not a perfectionist anymore, but I use to be one to a point where I was upset with myself for "not perfect" grades. Probably a thing Barou helped/helps me with as well but not like as a conscious thing.
Barou is just my go-to comfort character for basically everything. I remember about 2 months ago, it was the day my ex and I would have had our 3 year anniversary if we hadn't broken up last summer. And I don't miss them anymore, but the thoughts and a bit of the pain just returned so,,, I wrote a oneshot of how Barou helps his sibling through a breakup. A few things in that oneshot resembled what happened to me irl but I changed a bunch so it's not accurate to my ex and me.
Whenever I write Barou as a big brother, I write him as the type of brother who's very soft for his younger sibling(s) and extremely protective, but he stays rational and thinks a lot about how his overprotectiveness could harm his sibling(s) so he won't accidentally hurt them. And if he does end up saying or doing something that hurts them, he ha a hard time apologizing but he always manages to do it in his own ways. But you've seen all of that in my big brother!Barou writings.
Barou resembles one of my old comfort characters who can no longer be my comfort character. It's mainly in looks, I genuinely can't think of a thing they have in common about their personality. That also doesn't make Barou a "replacement" for that comfort character I lost, but he certainly filled that hole that was left behind when I lost the other comfort character.
I love Barou's character development and he's one of the most interesting characters to me, even outside of headcanons and the stuff I write about him. In the manga and anime, he's super interesting to see and his dvelopment in second selection,,,, hnngg loves that so much. Alo his rivalry with Isagi is my favourite of all of Isagi rivals (yeah sure, Rin and Kaiser are cool. Bu tthe mutual respect Isagi and Barou have makes it more interesting imo)
All in all, I love Barou and I have a deep personal connection with him. Love him very very much and hhjsnnnnf the thing I'd do to have him be real or to have a friend who's like him. I think about Barou a lot every day and I do a lot of rps with him on c.ai (usually just "rewrites" of the same scenario over and over, things I've already written on here or just things that are way too specific or personal as self-inserts for me to write on this blog)
Anyways, that's it. I will give my Barou plushie a little kiss now.
