hello! could i maybe request a yandere wally x reader where the reader is suspiciously compliant with wally? almost to the point where he thinks the reader is putting on an act just to escape later on (which the reader totally could if they were bold enough to think wally was falling for their obvious act!)
| I'm honestly excited for this one bc I can finally slap a lot of my ideas down for this- |
Tumblr media
- the first time he forcibly took you into home and made sure you'd stay at his own home you were so compliant to the point where as soon as he locked you in he wasn't worried about you escaping.
- he even gave you the okay to be able to leave his room , just really made sure you didn't leave home by telling home to lock you in no matter what either he be in the house or not.
- oh but you're silly aren't you? he isn't dumb. or well he thinks he isn't since he fully believes this is a little act that you're pulling so he doesn't hurt you or do anything to you even if the most he would do is stare..and stare.
- the more he watches you the more he noticed how comfortable you seemed at his house and even comfortable enough to talk to home (who responded in its own little ways).
- he kept having this growing anxiety of you leaving because he was gone most of the day , he couldn't seem suspicious to the other neighbors and doesn't speak a word about you suddenly going missing.
- you had gotten bold though and were sure you could escape late at night. as you slowly sat up trying to make sure the bed didn't creak you slipped out and were able to find your shoes and put them on. you quietly stepped down the hallway till there was a loud squeak from one of the doors..you had forgotten home entirely.
- “ oh darling..why are you leaving me? ” wally asked softly as he messed with a few bits of the fabric of his robe. his hair silky and down enough to cover one of his eyes as he stared right at you. “ did I do something wrong? ” his stare became intense and almost crazed as he stepped closer..and closer. you couldn't speak a single word.
- “ or did you think you could leave me? ” he said as he harshly grasped your wrist cause you to flinch. “ nono of course not wally! I was getting up to get a glass of water- ” “ you don't need shoes for a glass of water. ” you've never heard his tone so low before but in all honesty it was intimidating despite his height. he pulled you right back into his room and took it upon himself to force you back into bed and digged around his room for a few short seconds before taking a long piece of silky material. he walked over and placed your hands in front of you before tying the silky material into a pretty bow. “ oh look at that..a pretty way to keep you right here. ” he hummed, happy you didn't struggle one little bit.
- after tucking you in and getting cozy right beside you he didn't close his eyes all he did was stare at you. his wide eyes watching your every breath and movement. you had no choice but to try and sleep even if this monsters eyes were on you like prey.

I recently found a kitten on the street and adopted it because it followed me all the way back home, now I have four cats hahah
The curious thing about this kitten is that his purr is very VERY very loud. I was very surprised the first time I heard it because it sounds like a growl, and when he eats he purrs at the same time and... idk it just sounds very cute and unique!
That made me think that foul legacy would do the same, happy little growls. He doesn't just growl when he's upset or angry nono. He'll growl when you pet his head or scratch him under his chin,, when he stretches after waking up from a long and warm little nap or when he eat his favorite food. Yes. Just happy little growls. <3
ohhhh my goodness happy little growls. oh my heart MY HEART
to some people Legacy's happy growls and threatening growls sound very similar, but you have a very easy way to tell the difference: the teeth. if your fluffy Abyssal moth is baring his fangs as he growls, that means he's very upset and feels threatened by something that needs to be taken care of immediately. if, however, his teeth aren't intentionally bared, only showing when he yawns or licks you face or nibbles your fingers, then he's calm and at ease with himself and his surroundings- and little happy growls are a treat only you get to hear. they come out when you scritch under his chin, Legacy leaning back more and more until he flops over onto your lap with a delighted rumble; when you find him asleep in the sunlight and tiptoe over, playfully nudging him awake so you can hear that tiny surprised growl that slips out; the long, drawn-out growl he makes as he nuzzles against your cheek every evening when you return home, lonely after a long day without you
like i said, Foul Legacy's sweet growls and purrs are only for you. around the few other people he trusts, he chirps and trills and chitters- but there are no happy growls. they only come out when he's really delighted, and that only happens when he's around you; curled around your body as you sleep, resting his chin on your shoulder, holding you as comfort when you feel down. occasionally he'll worry that the growling sounds will frighten you, make you think he's about to attack and tear at your flesh, so he'll lower himself to your height to try and look smaller, keeping the growls gentle and soft- but you're never afraid of him, just grinning and running into his embrace with a laugh, and Legacy spins you around with a strong purr and promptly licks you on the cheek <33

20cm (twenty centimeters) TEASER
Tumblr media
jock!keita × fem!reader
genre: fluff
highschool au, enemies to lovers, y/n is a bitch (she gets better!), keita is in rugby
wc: 0.4k
a/n: ill try to get this posted next week, but here’s a little concept reveal !
synopsis: keita had always been sensitive about his height, but those thoughts seems to get drowned out every time hes on the field. it wasn’t until recently he finally became content with his genes. that was, until there were rumors of a new student that would be the new tallest student across the grades. not only that, it was a girl. and she was a major douchebag about it.
"whats wrong kei? youve had a scowl on your face since you've buckled your seatbelt." his frown deepened, slumping in the passenger seat. 
"i do not!" 
"do too!" beomgyu added with a snicker, peering from the backseat. heeseung quickly yanked him back, putting beomgyus seatbelt on for him. the four of them, sungchan included, were on the way to a random burger joint as per usual. last week it was the mall where they convinced heeseung to buy the biggest dildo in the spencers aisles. the week before that it was the skate park where beomgyu brought a scooter because he didnt know how to skate. 
with rugby seasons coming up, this would probably be the last time keita tagged along before the group became busy with their own sports. october was always a hectic month for all of them, and he would've felt like shit if the last moment he had with his friends was of him complaining about some girl. 
"whats wrong? seriously, you can tell us anything bro" sungchan continued, one hand on the wheel while the other rested on keitas knee. he gave keita a comforting squeeze, causing the boys sour look to soften. "... well. yall know the transfer, right?"
the other three nodded, all having their own tidbits to add.
"yeah the tall chick"
"shes pretty cool"
"winter and yunjins group, right?"
keita clicked his tongue, his nose scrunching st their nonchalance about her.
"why? you got rejected by her or sum?" beomgyu snickered before getting hit by heeseung, mumbling something about asshole and salt into the wound. 
"what, no! shes a total douchebag." 
a moment of silence hung in the car as the boys looked around each other, gauging one another's reactions. it wasn't long before the three burst out into laughter.
"im serious! y/n is such a-"
heeseung wiped a tear, hitting keitas shoulder. "is she a jerk or are you insecure?"
keitas mouth faltered, losing the confidence in hus conviction. sungchan hummed an agreement, both hands on the wheel. "shes pretty funny, you just gotta not take her seriously man."
keita straightened up in his seat, folding his arms over each other. 
"she has no business making those kinds of jokes."
"or maybe you need to loosen up a bit"
keita looked out the window, sighing softly. maybe they were right. maybe he was just a little sensitive about his height and you weren't really doing any harm! yeah, hes sure thats it. he just misjudged you. wait... hes getting a sense of deja vu.. nono! this time is different. keita was positive it wouldn't be long until he started viewing you the same way everyone else did.

Can I have some Sacred Realm cuddling headcannons where the reader is taller then them?
YEP YEP!! I do only do 3 characters if its a group headcanon so Ill just randomly pick three of the boys! If you want another part to this just ask!
EDIT: SORRY THIS IS SO LATE-- WRITERS BLOCK IS A BITCH
Tumblr media
Worlds
The hero of Worlds could not care less about your height-- he doesn't mean it in a rude way but its just something he doesn't see as a big deal!
That doesn't mean he won't use it to his advantage and be a little shit--
Worlds is definitely the type of guy who will tease you when cuddling. Like, this man will press his cold ass feet against your calves, if he decided to be the 'big spoon', and will GIGGLE as your screech (wait-- can spirits even have temperature??)
Honestly he is at the perfect height for that-- standing at 5'4'' or 1.65 m it gives him the perfect reach to DRAGGGGGGGG his bare and freezing feet down your calf/shin.
He's even goes to tickle/taser your sides, and when you go to run away from his wiggly fingers he's quick to sling to your waist with his strong arms, making himself a dead wait that you would have to drag around--
Worlds' no caring for the height difference, would still prefer to be the 'big spoon' in cuddling positions. BUT he also really likes having your head resting in his lap as he gently pokes your face <3
The hero is quite laid-back when it came to physical affection, so its not out of the ordinary for the man to randomly come up from behind you and all but ATTACH himself to your bad! What a little sloth
Realm/Link
I like to think that Link is someone who has a DEATHGRIP on you when you two cuddle together. Like, YOU AINT MOVING UNTIL HE'S AWAKE /pos
maybe that comes from his abandonment issues, who knows
Standing at 5'5 or 1.68 m, it very much isn't uncommon for many to be taller than the hero, so your height doesn't 'put off' or intimidate him. If anything he'll find it a little flustering but wont ever admit it!
He's actually rather flexible with sleeping positions! He doesn't mind being curling up in your arms as the small spoon or having his arms wrapped around you as his legs are tucked nicely against yours!
BUT, if he is feeling really upset (whether from his own self doubt or harsh words from his spirit mentors) he prefers to be held against your chest, your hands brushing through his hair as he listens to the steady heart beat in your chest.
There can be some semi awkward moments as the hero gets somewhat buried by either your hair or back as your turn in your sleep, but Link is quick to laugh it off, never wanting to make you feel insecure or upset about your height!
All that matters to him is that you're near him, that you aren't leaving him alone until the sun comes back up once more!
Wild
Another 'short king' /j is Wild who stands at 1.77 m or 5'8"! So it isn't uncommon for Wild to find others (both hyilan and otherwise) who are taller than him! But from all of his exploring and adventure, he is very much used to that.
If anything, the hero takes it in STRIDES!!! He will gladly curl up into your arms and let you pull him into your chest. Wild would kill to have a nice, cozy night in with some comfort foods on the side while he's all nice and warm in your hold <3
Would MELT if you buried your head into his hair or if you just played with his hair in general. You're one of the FEW people that are aloud to go anywhere near his hair. Normally he'll just lay his head in your lap if he wants u to play with it but when cuddling he'll just tap at your hand for a moment before you catch the hint and play with his hair.
Normally, Wild likes being the little spoon just cause he enjoys how safe he feels when you're wrapped around him- which your easily able to do with your height, but he isn't against being a jetpack if ya want!
BUT dont expect to a normal cuddle sesh with the wild hero! Nono, the hero isn't against throwing some...pranks into the little cuddle pile when you least expect them >:3
One time he put hard pasta in his mouth before cuddles, and when you pulled him close he crunched down on it to replicate the sound of cracking bones before going limp in your arms.
After a panicked yelp from you and a swat to his arm after he revealed the prank, he was promptly denied cuddle privileges for a while....Worth it.
Taglist: @the-cucco-nuggie @baileyboo2016 @skyward-shade @yourlocaltreesimp @zelda-the-sacred-realm

Leif: "You? Magic? Noi, it says 'talent' show."
--
Leif: "Hold on, I can explain!"
Rhys: "Really? Can you now?"

There's a knock on Icia's door.
"Come in," she calls out.
Starro opens the door, immediately shivering as the cold air wafts around him. "Hey Icia- you okay?"
Icia nods, fidgetting with the sleeves of her sweater. "I wanted to make sure you we- what happened to your leg?!" She immediately exclaims.
Starro quickly sits down. "I'm okay, just broke it a bit.."
"BROKE IT??? HOW?!?!" Icia shouts. Small ice spikes burst out from around her, rising to elbow height.
"Icia, calm down, I'm fine!!! Just a performance that went wrong... I'm okay. Promise."
Icia pauses, taking a breath and breaking her backside out from the ice surrounding it. "... apologies-. Um.... so... you've had a broken leg... and that's why you weren't able to join us against the pirates?"
Starro nods. "I didn't want to fight with a broken leg.... sorry, I didn't really um. Get to tell you....."
"That's alright. We managed alright.... though I feel it still would have been easier with you there."
The two fall into an awkward silence.
".... Did you get hurt?" Starro asks after a moment. Icia tenses up.
"Would you be inclined to believe me if I said no...?"
".... now that you say that, no I wouldn't. What happened. Where did you get hurt."
She avoids his concerned, almost annoyed gaze. "Torso....a few gunshot wounds-"
"Gunshot wounds?!"
"It's okay-!! I promise, I'm alright! They froze over, and there was a healer at the fight who helped deal with a shotgun wound-"
"SHOTGUN WOUND?!?! ICIA!!!"
Icia's hands tense, gripping the other tighter. "I told you, I am ALRIGHT! Just DROP IT!!" More ice spikes jut out around her.
Starro's stars are a deep orange-ish red with plenty of indigo clouds, but he stares at her and sighs. "Fine."
Theres some more silence, though it's much more tense this time. Finally, Icia clears her throat and her tone grows calm.... well, calmer.
"Back to you....." she starts. "The performance... tell me about it. What went wrong....?"
Starro slouchs into his seat. "I dunno.... the equipment wasn't moving right, I hit my throat on the trapeze bar, which f---ed up my landing, and I landed wrong and broke my leg......"
"Ouch..... how is it now?"
He shifts his leg a bit, showing her the bent-but-bandaged area. "Doing a lot better.... I can walk on it okay now."
"Well that's good to hear- when do you think you'll be all better?" She asks.
".... mmmmmaybe a week? Ish?"
"Even better!"
Icia looks out the window. "You know brother, I've always wondered how your legs end up healing so fast... every time they get injured, you seem to be back up and running around within a week. How do you do it?"
There's only silence in response.
"... Starro?"
"I dunno. Fast healer I guess."
Icia looks back at him.... his arms are folded, eyes aimed bitterly at the door, and his stars are a deep, almost wine red color.
.... wow, that took quite a turn...
Icia crosses her legs and arms, narrowing her eyes at Starro a little.
"Alright then, brother. What's going on?"
"... nothing, just-"
"Nono, clearly there is something wrong. You never reacted like this before when I called you my brother. What's changed? Why won't you call me your sister anymore?"
Starro turns away. "Just changed my mind."
"That isn't how it works, Starro. You don't just 'change your mind' about being siblings-"
"Well we weren't in the first place, so.."
She cocks her head. "You sound incredibly sure about that."
"Well, I mean, we aren't... how are you so sure that we are?"
The thought of bringing up their linked files fills Icia's mind. However, anger clouds her mind, and she decides not to bring it up. Yet.
"We don't need to be related for me to call you my brother and you to call me my sister. Why is it such an issue???"
Starro glares at her. "I just don't like it from you anymore, okay?!?!"
"It doesn't make sense, Starro! Why?!"
"Because you're not, and I'm still waiting to find my real sister!! She's in the digital plane somewhere and I'm waiting for her!"
Icia bites the inside of her cheek.
"That's not what I mean. I could care less if there's some girl out in the digital world who you think is your sister and you're waiting FOREVER to find with no guarantee that you'll find her-"
Starro's eyes narrow.
"- but why me specifically. You said you 'don't like it from me anymore'. So, I'm assuming it's something personal."
"What?? No, it's nothing personal. You're just not my sister."
"I'm having a very, very hard time believing that its not personal."
Starro sighs and rubs his head. His stars remain red. "Icia, I can't lie, I'm getting reaaaaally p---ed off here. Just... y'know what, forget the whole situation, I don't wanna talk about this anymore."
"I'm p---ed off too, but no, I still have questions."
"And I don't wanna answer 'em." Starro gets up, turning towards the door.
Icia grabs his wrist. "Now HOLD ON-"
He yanks back. "DON'T F---ING TOUCH ME!!!"
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! WHAT IS GOING ON, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG, WHY ARE YOU SO STUBBORN ABOUT THIS?! WHERE DID ALL OF THIS COME FROM?!?!"
"JUST DROP IT!! I DID IT FOR YOU AND YOUR F---ING GUNSHOT WOUNDS, SO WHY CAN'T YOU JUST DO IT FOR THIS"
"BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO!"
Starro is seething at this point. Suddenly he gets an idea.
(.... let me abstract for a second.)
The voice in his head sounds shocked.
(I'm sorry, WHAT??)
Icia continues to yell, voice shaking with furious laughter.
(JUST LET ME DO IT!!!)
"God- what even is going on, why are you so ADAMANT?! WHAT THE F--- ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME, STARRO, JUST TELL ME!!!"
An animalistic snarl makes Icia freeze dead in her tracks. Where Starro once was, the abstraction now towers over her. Several multicolored eyes stare daggers at her as she stares in horror. The anger in her eyes has vanished.
"THIS IS WHAT IM F---ING HIDING. YOU WANTED TO KNOW, SO FINE, TAKE A LOOK! AN ABSTRACTION, ICIA! BEEN ONE THIS WHOLE GODD--- TIME!!!"
He seems satisfied seeing her anger drop, slowly reverting to his normal self. The aftereffects of abstraction are painful, but he could care less about any of the pain right now.
Icia's hand cups over her stomach. She's shaking.
"..... this whole time, you've...."
"Been an abstraction. Yeah, I have. You're not the only one who has secrets, Icia."
He spreads his arms out wide. "I don't get why you're so stubborn or angry about me not wanting you to call me your brother. Honestly though now Im relieved you know 'cause you'll stop persisting, who the f--- would want an abstraction for a brother?!"
"......"
Starro sighs angrily. "I'm f---ing done..... secrets, secrets, secrets, that's all there ever is. You always hide this kinda stuff from me, so I hid it from you. And now you know. How d'ya feel now??"
"......"
"Well?!"
"..... I.... feel like you should leave."
Starro pauses. He wasn't expecting that.
".... you didn't want me to go earlier. Why now? 'Cause I showed you what I really am??"
"No, I just think you should leave." Her voice is trembling as she stares ahead at nothing.
Starro stares at her before turning away. "I knew it. Y'know what, fine by me. Its better if you dont have a monster for a sibling anyways."
He walks out of the house and slams the door shut, fuming all the way back to his room.

“Yes” won the poll so here’s a little sample of the Lucifer/Eve reunion fic i have in mind. If y’all like it enough I’ll try to finish it but this is what my brain as so far.
An Apple A Day
Lucifer groaned as he woke up to unfamiliar surroundings. This wasn’t the rebuilt hotel…or his palace…where was he?? Did Charlie know he was missing?! Who took him?
“Well you certainly haven’t aged a day.” Lucifer heard a woman’s voice speak up. He whirled his hand around, looking for the source of the voice, and saw striking white eyes staring intently at him in the shadows.
“You are aware mere rope can’t hinder me whatsoever, right?” Lucifer rolled his eyes, “I can tell just from the feel this isn’t even close to blessed rope.”
“Lucky for you I’m not going to do anything. Nono, you’re far too powerful for that.” Lucifer could hear the slight contempt in the demoness’s voice, “No, I brought you here for a little chat.”
Lucifer blinked in surprise as his captor stepped into the light. She was around Charlie’s height, with pale grey skin covered in black markings that looked like roots against her body. She wore dark clothing under a bright red coat, and her hair faded from black to red as it descended. And yet…something about those eyes was…strangely familiar.
“Who are you?” He asked, and the woman playfully pouted.
“What, you don’t recognize me, dear Luci?” She teased; an edge of sadness and anger to her voice. As easy as breathing her body morphed into shadows and as they faded an entirely different, more human woman stood before Lucifer. But the mere sight of him was enough to warrant a sharp gasp and make his blood run cold.
“Ohhh, Lucifer, of course I’ll take a bite. And you and Lily and I can finally be free together! I trust you, dearest.” She cooed almost mockingly, and with another flash the human facade faded away.
“I…what the fuck…Evie…?” Lucifer managed to get out, his voice barely above a whisper. Eve fought the urge to flinch at the nickname. After so much time, being called that name still felt so foreign on anyone’s lips.
“I don’t go by Eve anymore, Luci.” She corrected, “It’s Roo now.”

[It’s a short video… courtesy of me, pzzt.
The camera follows Vanilla over their shoulder, filming not-so-subtly. In the distance, growing closer with the sound of footsteps through tall grass, is a woman dressed in all pink, locs tied in buns, waving vigorously. There’s the sound of a groan. Presumably Vanilla’s.
“Did you bring Fluffybutt?”
“Yes, I di—stop calling me that!”
The Barbie-pink figure, growing closer, nearly doubles over in laughter.
“…Meant the Vanillite. I can just go—”
“Nono, stay, I’ll fix it!! I owe you that. Can’t believe you didn’t know he was shiny…”
“Hey, we’ve all got our expertise…”
The two are at a pretty appropriate talking distance now. Cross, and the camera, lower to about shoulder height, just barely peeking out past Vanilla’s seasonal burgundy sweater.
“Yep!! And mine’s genetics, fashion, and charm!! Though I get the feeling my apologies could use some work. Come on!! Battle while we talk?? Helps me think better.”
The foxperson sighs again, but a pan down from the camera shows they’re already grabbing one of the Luxury Balls off their belt.
“You got it, Cheri. And then you’re fixing this guy’s name!”
“Oh, so you are keeping him!! I knew he could protect you!!”
“I just trust myself more than I trust you. All it is. Speaking of… let’s get this over with, already. Amadeus! Go!”
A very unamused Zorua emerges from the lap of luxury, and the video cuts for now.]

Munchy crew hide n seek Dreams turn
The munchy crew had been playing a game of tickle hide n seek! So far six of the ten players had been found. Dream was currently hidden in the movie theater room hoping the darkness would be enough to conceal him along with a few blankets he tossed over himself to try and make it look like he was just a pile of blankets. There was one fatal flaw Dream didn’t realize though but was going to be very quick to find out once sapnap came in.
Sapnap approached the movie theater not caring to be quiet knowing there was little chance of someone to escape past him if they were to try to run out.
“Helloooo anyone watching a movie? No nothings playing but it’s okay I can show you you’re own personal movie called the tickle monster!”
Dream gasped softly then quickly covered his mouth his cheeks already tinting red at the tease.
Sapnap walked further into the theater glancing around carefully, he saw nothing at first but then held back a giggle.
“Oho I just know someone has to be in here now where could they be.”
Dream held his breathe hearing sapnaps footsteps getting closer and he desperately hoped his cover up was good enough.
Sapnap smirked stopping right beside where Dream was hidden, he had to give the older credit this could’ve been a pretty good spot if only Dream hadn’t of made the fatal flaw of leaving one of his feet exposed.
Dream tried his best to keep his body still as he sensed sapnap was right by him and did his best to keep his breathes quiet as possible.
Sapnap snickered already being able to hear dreams reaction in his head, he had an idea though and pretended to walk away before quickly tip toeing back over.
Dream let out a sigh of relief at the sound of Sapnap leaving and made the mistake of thinking he was safe. Which is exactly why he squealed upon feeling a finger run down his foot and totally not because it tickled so bad.
“EEP WHAHAHTTT!?!”
Sapnap cackled happily as he quickly pulled the blankets off Dream, grabbing his ankles and pulling him to the floor in a laying position as he straddled his ankles!
“SURPRISE DUMMY YOU HAD YOUR FOOT EXPOSED!”
Dream silently cursed and blamed it on his height.
“S-sap sap come on is this do you really have to?”
Sapnap nodded “uh yea dude that’s the whole point of tickle hide n seek remember?”
Dream blushed light red nodding.
“Well yea but do you really have to pin my ankles I mean I haven’t even sassed you or anything and I promise I’ll be super super good”
Sapnap scoffs softly.
“True you haven’t sassed but we both know if I don’t pin your ankles there are two possibilities. One I don’t even properly get to tickle you cause you’ll already be kicking too much for me to do anything and two I actually manage to tickle you and then you accidentally kick me because it tickles so bad.”
Dream whined softly as he covered his face hating that sapnap was right.
“F-fine just hhh just make it quick okay?”
Sapnap rolled his eyes snickering softly.
“Yea yea whatever just sit tight and enjoy your tickle monster movie okay?”
Dream squeaked feeling light scratches on the top of his feet and immediately burst into giggles!
“EEK! Nohohoho whihiyyy thehehe tohhohopps!”
Sapnap shrugged softly.
“Well it’s one of your favorite spots and usually never gets any attention so I figured I’d give it the attention it deserves.”
Dream whined softly at sapnaps explanation.
“Ihittt ihissss nohhottttt”
Sapnap chuckled softly as he paused the scratching.
“Oh it’s not? Alright guess I’ll just go ahead and move on then.”
Dream huffed softly as he giggled residually.
“Wwahahihitttt ihihi shahhappp.”
Sapnap shook his head.
“No no it’s fine you said you wanted to do this quickly so let’s go ahead and speed this up then!”
Dream gasped as he suddenly felt a tug on his socks and immediately began shaking his head and trying to sit up.
“Nononono sapnap please please no you don’t nono you can go as slow as you want please please just leave them on!”
Sapnap shook his head whistling softly.
“Nope sorry not sapnap I’m the tickle monster and the tickle monster is going with your first request!”
Dream flopped back giving up but he jolted as soon as he felt sapnaps quick fingers scribbling over his heels! Making him to squeak as he burst into laughter!
“EEK NAHAHHHAA SHIHIHIZZZ FRIHICCK!”
Sapnap smiled happily as he continued.
“So tickle monster has a few other people to still find and can’t stay here tickling you all day even though he would absolutely love to. What’s it gonna take to make you give up cutie?”
Dreams cheeks turned a brighter red at the nickname as he shook his head.
“NOHOHOTTHIHIHINNGGG WIHIHIHIHILLL IHIHIMMM TOHOHO STRROHOOJONNGGG!”
Sapnaps eyebrow raised and then he smirked an evil plan coming to mind.
“Is that so? So then surely you can handle this right?”
Dream looked curiously at sapnap not having a clue what he could be planning to do and it was making his tummy do somersaults. He kept up the strong facade anyways tho despite all that.
“IHIHI YEHEHEHAHA SUHURHEHEE CAHHANN!”
Sapnap chuckled softly.
“Alright then you asked for it mr strong man.”
Dreams eyes widened as Sapnap began leaning down towards his toes and he immediately began trying to plead!
“WHAIHITT WAIT WAIT NOHOHO! NHOT THAT!”
Sapnap shook his head softly before finally reaching down and nibbling dreams toes.
“Guess you should’ve thought twice shouldn’t you have?”
Dream shrieked bursting into even louder laughter his hands happy stimming.
“AAEEH NAHAHHHAHAAHAHHA SHAHHAHAHAPPPO NAHAHHAHA IHIHI NAHHAHAA!”
Sapnap smiled brightly speaking inbetween nibbles.
“Yea dreamlee? What’s up? You ready to give up now?”
Dream shook his head ever stubborn and defiant.
“NOHOHOHO IHIHI REHEHEFFUHUHUSSEHHEEHE TOHOHOHO”
Sapnap smirked, he nibbled dreams second to last toe on his right foot then switched to nibbling his left toes. That wasn’t all though, as he nibbled away his left toes one hand also tickled at the sole his left foot as his other hand tickled the sides of his right!
“Oh I don’t think you’ll be saying that much longer.”
Dream positively lost it! His happy stims turned to fist pounding the ground as his laughter went silent for a moment before a small screamed escaped and he resumed laughing but even louder!
“…. AAAHH HAHAHHAHAHHAA NHAHAHHAYA NOHOHOHO OHOHOKAHHAYYY OHOHOKKAHAYYY RRHEHEHEDDD YOOUUU WIHIHINNN!”
Sapnap quickly stopped and got off the older allowing him to curl up and giggle residually as sap firmly rubbed away the lingering tickles.
“You okay dream? I didn’t go too far right?”
Dream smiled softly at sapnaps concern shaking his head softly.
“Noohoho yooourrhehehee goohhohoddd thahhattt ijuhussttt ihittss ahhallhottt buhuttt iihihnnn ahaha gohodd whhay.”
Sapnap smiled brightly as he nodded.
“Good, you okay for me to leave now or should I stay a minute?”
Dream waved him off softly a few giggles still tittering out.
“Iihimm fine yooouuu can go, go torture someone else.”
Sapnap chuckled softly and nodded.
“See ya.”
Dream nodded back.
“See ya.”
And so with that Sapnap was off to find his next target
The end

【 Three | Previous | Masterlist | Next 】
➼A/N: Sorry that there’s still no progress on Rindou and reader’s relationship, I’m trying to plan it out😭 Instead, enjoy Ran being dramatic af.
“We’re here princess.” “Ew.” Kiyoko voices in disgust. Sanzu opened the door for her and she quickly ran out of the car and went to cling onto Rindou. “Papa!” “Hi sweetie, go inside first I have to talk to Sanzu.” “Kk!” He didn’t need to tell her twice, she didn’t want to be near the pink psycho anymore. “Hey Rinrin, just a heads up, I’m never picking up your daughter for you ever again.” Rindou sighs, “I figure, I don’t trust you near her anyways and stop calling me Rinrin you dipshit.” “Why that’s rude, May I remind you again who just picked up your daughter?” “No need, just get your ass out of here already.” Sanzu tch’ed while watching Rindou head back inside. “Ungrateful, these Haitanis are ungrateful I tell you, that little brat takes after her father alright.”
Tumblr media
Today Rindou dropped Kiyoko off inside the daycare and was able to see you. “Oh Mr. Haitani, good morning.” “Good morning to you as well L/N San.” Kiyoko quickly diverted both of your attention from each other’s conversation as she excitedly jumped up and down. “Good morning Y/N San! Where’s my candy?!!” “Oh right, here you go.” You reached into your pocket and took out a little bag of candy and handed it to the little girl. 
“Sweetie, you didn’t say thank you.” After hearing her father’s words she quickly bowed and thanked you for the candy. “Anyways, why’s she getting candy?” “Ah, yesterday night when your friend came to pick her up she wouldn’t let go of me and I promised to give her candy if she left with your friend.” Rindou sighs, “She’s a handful when it comes to him, I’m sorry for the inconvenience, I can pay you back for the candy.” “Oh nono, don’t be sorry at all, plus I wanted to give her candy anyways so that won’t be needed.” “Thank you for taking great care of her.” “Just doing my job sir, anyways shouldn’t you be headed to work?” “Right, good day.” “You as well.” You bowed at him and he returned one as well. 
Tumblr media
Another day, another peculiar occurrence. You were facing backwards from the entrance as someone walked in and announced, “I’m here to pick up my lovely Kiyoko.” “Mr. Haitani?” You say while turning around to make eye contact with a handsome male who wasn’t Rindou. “That’s me alright cutie.” Uhm what? “Excuse me sir?” “Rindou didn’t tell me that there was a new worker here, not to mention that you’re eye candy as well.” This guy is something alright. “Uhm yeah so I’m guessing you’re Kiyoko’s uncle?” “How’d you guess?” Is this guy for real right now? “I’m just going to get Kiyoko.” You quickly scrambled into the other room to get the girl. 
After coming back out to the main area to Mr. Haitani #2, he opened his arms wide. “Your favorite uncle is here to pick you up, come give me a hug.” Kiyoko just stood frozen next to you with a blank stare. “You’re embarrassing uncle, this is why I like uncle Kakucho more.” The lanky male just stood there frozen with his arms still in the air. Then he awkwardly retracted them back to his sides. “Haha, you little silly goose, you love to joke around don’t you? Let’s go home shall we?” “Not yet.” “Huh?” Kiyoko turned to you and asked, “Can I get a goodbye hug?” Shocked, you replied, “of course you can.” And bent down to the little girl’s height to give her a little embrace. “Ok bye bye Y/N San, we can go now uncle.” 
You look up at her uncle and see his bamboozled face. “You don’t give your own uncle a hug?! Your blood related uncle? You got the same blood as me coursing through your veins and you refuse MY hug? Oh I knew it, I’ve been a bad uncle that’s why you’re rebelling aren’t you. Oh my sweet niece, I’ll pay you all the attention you want, if only you’d forgive me for being such a bad uncle. I’ll buy you new toys alright, name anything you want so I can patch up our broken bond.” Damn, he’s dramatic af, bet he was a theatre kid. “Can we just go home already?” You’re holding back your laugh as you watch the lanky male sigh in defeat. He escorted Kiyoko out and after they were completely out of sight you started bursting into laughter. What’s up with these people picking Kiyoko up and getting roasted by her? 
Tumblr media
Ran was waiting patiently for his little brother to arrive home after he tucked his precious niece into bed. “Oh I have a bone to pick with Rinrin.” After a few hours the door finally opened and Rindou came home to Ran sat on the couch with his legs crossed. “You finally decided to show up my dear brother.” “What are you talking about? I live here with you, of course I’ll come back.” “I have some important issues to discuss with you.” “Did boss assign us more work to do?” “No it's not about that, IT’S ABOUT MY DIGNITY.” “Oh well, good night to you brother, I’ll be heading to sleep.”
“I don’t think so, get your ass back here.” “Ugh what is it?” “Your little scallywag of a daughter embarrassed me in front of one of the daycare workers today and I don’t think I can ever step foot in that vicinity ever again.” “Pfft how? You’re not just being dramatic again are you?” “Rinrin, of course I’m not, we’re talking about my pride here, do you know how embarrassed I was?! Your daughter refused a hug from her favorite uncle and then proceeded to ask for a hug from the worker.” “Oh, was it the new worker?” “Yeah it was.” “Ah then that’s understandable, they’ve been taking great care of Kiyoko so it’s natural she would want a hug from them and not you.” 
“RINRIN?!! OH HOW YOUR WORDS CUT DEEP INTO MY FRAGILE LITTLE HEART, MY OWN BROTHER HAS TURNED ON ME AS WELL, I’LL GROW OLD AND NO ONE WILL BE BY MY SIDE WHILE I’M ON MY DEATHBED. YOU ALL ARE TRAITORS.” “Okok I’m sorry and then what else happened.” “She also called me embarrassing and said how she liked Kakucho more than me, the audacity.” “I’m sorry bro but she wasn’t lying about you being embarrassing and I can see why she likes Kakucho over you.” “It’s no wonder my sweet little niece has such a bad mouth, because her father talks that way as well. This is all YOUR fault, you better fix her. If I’m not her favorite uncle then what’s the point.” “How’s it my fault when she was just telling the truth, honesty is the best policy after all right?” Ran was finally silenced.
“That’s what I thought, if you have nothing better to do than worry about your pride, maybe you should take your work more seriously and stop tossing it to me. Good night.” Ran sat there completely baffled. “My own family has just stabbed me in the back tonight, I won’t be recovering from this, woe is me.”

Have the next page of Jersey headcanons, take them off my hands
New Jersey-
So his father is TECHNICALLY the devil, not the Jersey Devil nono just..the devil
Because his father is literally Satan, Louisiana was very cautious around him in the beginning, Jersey did everything he could think of to gain his trust before realizing that it’ll take Loui time before he does
Jersey has two moms, one (Mother) is Swedish while the other (Ma) is Dutch
He has magic, like its demon magic but he has magic, he’s also able to grab a full health report crops and plants, he isn’t the garden state for no reason
While some states are tall or short depending on their state size, New Jersey is in the group (mainly just OG13) that isn’t his height because of his state
Speaking of height, he’s about 5’8, he’s not short, that doesn’t mean he won’t jump onto the counters to get stuff from the shelves, it just mean he doesn’t need too
Technically doesn’t have a soul, the states all have souls but Jersey is kinda soulless, only kinda and technically though because he does have one, he just doesn’t own it
HUGE nerd, loves anything from Star Trek to TMNT to Kingdom Hearts
Feel like this is obvious but he is a MASSIVE hockey guy, loves it, love to play it, thinks the Rangers can go to hell and so can the Flyers, literally only cares about the Devils
He is pretty neutral when it comes to football, both NY’s team plays in his state sure but they aren’t his, that doesn’t mean he won’t root for them, he just needs to be told too
Collects Baseball cards and used to play as well, but so did everyone else and their father in the 60s
Loves to make fudge and taffy, knows every states favorite of both and if they don’t like either he also knows everyone’s favorite chocolates as well
Has great memory, which is his downfall most times when he doesn’t want to remember
Has severe trauma, has gone through many therapists because of it before landing on his current one
Calls Sweden ‘Father Sweden’ and Netherland ‘Dad Netherland’, both are not too sure why or how he started calling them that, let only Jersey himself

Exhibition: The Body of Memory (El Cuerpo de la Memoria)
October 12 @ 18:00 – December 1 @ 17:00 LONDON
An exhibition by performance artist Janet Toro’s radical work responding to Chilean dictatorship at
Peltz Gallery 43 Gordon Square Birkbeck College London WC1H 0PD
Exhibition opens on October 12 at 6pm and runs until December 2023
Janet Toro’s performance series El cuerpo de la memoria (The body of memory), rekindles both individual and collective consciousness of the coup d’etat in Chile – that took place 50 years ago. This exhibition of photography and video documentation of performances refers back to 1999, when the artist presented 90 performance-installations as part of the second Biennale of Young Artists that was held at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Chile. Walking barefoot for kilometres and subjecting herself to physical constraints, Janet Toro pointed out sites of political detention and torture implemented during the civil-military dictatorship in Chile. Pushing at the limits of her body, Toro experienced 62 methods of torture, that recollected the horrors employed by the dictatorial apparatus to suppress and obliterate anything deemed a threat to their project. Such methods are the basis of Toro’s radical works.
Tumblr media
The Performances and Installations were made inside and outside the museum at places related to torture and detention. Additionally I did barefoot walks from those places to the museum and from the museum to those places, through the city of Santiago.
Tumblr media
I always walked with some physical sign of limitation of the body, tying my legs or my arms, etc., walked miles in silence and carrying a fragment of a white canvas stained with blood of slaughtered animal (as a shroud), which I had used 9 years earlier, in the Performance: "The blood, the river and the body", at the riverside of Mapocho River, at the height of Pio Nono Bridge, Santiago, 1990. This canvas I kept for 9 years and later I used it, teared it, fragment and knotted it in these performances.
Tumblr media
For this cycle I realized a long investigation about various methods of torture, which were practiced systematically in Chile during the Military Dictatorship and which are currently used in many countries of the world. These methods of torture form the basis of my performances-installations, in which I approach the limits of my body and social limits, therefore there was an experience of permanent risk. There was no rehearsal.
Tumblr media
This work makes an inner journey to the pain that underlies the collective memory, to the pain that was inflicted on thousands of people, through torture and the systematic violation of human rights in our country.
Tumblr media
These actions expose the memory as a corporal and emotional echo, through mute minimum acts, opening the folds of the dark memories of that harsh reality, attached to the organism. Memory is not only a functional activity of the mind, but a bodily experience: "we remember with the body". That is the premise of this work.

Now for something completely different! I’ve been working on an AU called Guardians (page is still a WIP) for months now and I’m finally ready to share a story from it. Please heed the tags and enjoy!
Rating: General
Relationships: Hobie/Therapy
Characters: Hobie Brown, Original Animal Character, Pavitr Prabhakar (mentioned), Gwen Stacy (mentioned), Miles Morales (mentioned).
Wordcount: 1,430
TW: Starvation, Homelessness
Tags: Alternative title: ‘Author tears up over hedgehogs,’ Fluff, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Animal Companions AU, Platonic/Familial relationship, Hobie Brown backstory, Set 2 years before he becomes Spider-Punk, Hobie needs a hug (and gets a very spiny one), it’s a lovely story I promise, Character study.
Summary: Hobie nodded in approval, speaking around his third slice in under as many minutes, “fuck capitalism, feed hedgehogs.”
Ruthless
The smog-choked air was still so frosty this time of year. Once vaguely warm, the battered, grease-stained box she was curled up upon now did nothing to ease the painful shivers running from her goose-bumped skin, all the way to the very tips of her all-encasing, banded spines. Still, she was grateful. It wasn’t the height of winter anymore, they’d made it out alive and this was the first spot of good luck they’d had in a while.
Cold or otherwise, that’s the wonderful thing about pizza, you could eat it regardless— well, if you didn’t mind the pineapple. They’d both eaten far worse, or not at all. Besides, his tastes changed like the wind—
Her ears pricked sharply at the sound of a shoe sole scraping against potholed concrete, clunky and uneven. Her nose twitched fearfully. She should’ve pulled the box further into the shadows of the alley.
Pulse racing, she curled up tighter, spines splayed until the bootprints stopped abruptly, drowned out by the distant honking, shouting, screaming of East London on a Friday night.
Then the wind changed, and all at once her panic immediately soothed into relief.
‘Ruth? You there?”
The massive pizza box slid across the wet pavement with her scrabbling claws as she zoomed towards the end of their hiding spot; a nostalgic pull tugging at her tiny heartstrings as she snuffled at the air. “Over ‘ere! Took you long enough, where the bloody hell you been?” She could almost feel the responding eyeroll as the flickering, looming shadow at the alley’s maw rounded the corner and Hobie Brown stumbled in — joy bubbled and fizzed from her brightly glowing chest and into a resounding chirp — empty handed. Ah.
"Foodbank was sold out when I got there. ‘S fine though, we’ll— I’ll jus-“
“Nono, gimmie a sec,” she croaked and shuffled back the way she’d scurried. The sogginess of the ground nearly proved too strong for her teeth as it sucked on the cardboard, but she managed to drag it just far enough to cut her young charge’s dejection short. “Ta-da! We’ve got ourselves a chicken-dinner! The crowd goes wild, n’ we have full bellies.” Her words were muffled, but from the relieved laugh he’d barked out it was clear he’d understood the gist.
“Oh my days, Ruth you’ve outdone yourself! Also, you should know, you look ridiculous. Never thought I’d see a hedgehog carrying a takeaway box that big, come ‘ere,” the box was lifted effortlessly up into the sky before the boy slumped down next to her. Hobie opened the box with the reverence of a present he’d been counting down the days for, and wolfed down the first slice like a dying man. Well, that…that wasn’t exactly far off. “Where’d you even get this? It’s huge! Could last us two days easy.” Ruth sniffed the food eagerly, climbing up and using his thigh to balance her front paws on so that she could get a better look. Hobie then passed Ruth her single slice so she sat down next to him and set to nibbling away at it. She was rather proud of herself that she’d held out long enough for her charge to have the first piece. Taking care of him was, after all, her entire reason for existing in the very literal, physical, cosmic sense.
“Stole it from a Spaceship Pizza delivery bike while the driver was havin’ a natter. She saw but apparently thought it was funny enough to fight the good fight with her boss.”
Hobie nodded in approval, speaking around his third slice in under as many minutes, “good girl, she gets it. Fuck capitalism, feed hedgehogs.”
“Mm, found your new motto then.”
“‘Course.”
The silence between them as they ate was comfortable, well lived in, homey. Ruth was munching away at a chunky strip of cheap, processed ham when her beady eyes locked onto the dip of Hobie’s hollow cheek as he grinned, and all of a sudden they were seven years old again. The worry wrinkles, far too premature for someone who’s only just turned fifteen forming on his forehead, his sharp edges and his first, shiny, new nose piecing he’d convinced a friend to give him for free we’re gone. "Do you remember we used to eat this in school? You hated pineapple. You don’t now.”
“Nah, I don’t believe in consistency. You of all people should know that.” His bordered edges shifted and his skin turned from grey newspaper clippings about threats of anarchist uprisings to a happy, relatable, empathetic pink. “You haven’t changed a bit. Just a big ol’ hoglet.”
Ruth looked at him aghast, squeaking in disapproval, spines puffing in defiance. “You’re havin’ a tin-bath.” The stripes on her spines and the glowing patch on her chest turned from a happy, relatable, empathetic pink to the grainy grey of tv static.
“Oh no, you still look like a pup to me. Jus’ with more spines. Hey, remember when I tried to count ‘em all again last week? Think I got to 561 this time.”
Ruth huffed. She had waaaay more spines than that. “I could say the same thing, you had all the grace of a toddler the way you nicked your finger. Thought you’d be used to my spines after all this time. Guess I’ll just be free of your cuddles an’ keep warm on my lonesome.”
“Woah, hey now, I’m only playin.’”
"’Course,” Ruth snorted and licked BBQ sauce off of her nose, then sighed wistfully, “blimey, I miss moments like this more than anythin’"
Hobie’s crooked smile waned and seemed to wobble a bit. Seven years old and they’d already been kicked out of their second orphanage. School gave them hot food served with kind, pitying smiles. Their new placement did neither. "Yeah…Y’know, this is the only thing that's made the last three years bearable.”
“Pizza?”
Hobie’s laugh was small, humourless and tired, and Ruth felt a pang of something sharp in her chest that was anything but starvation.
“You. Company. Jus’ ‘avin someone who actually gives a damn about whether or not I live or die tomorrow. Can’t imagine what it’s like for those blokes n’ birds who ain’t got Guardians of their own anymore. Must be propper rough. I’ve heard that…sometimes, when it gets too hard, Guardians can just leave. Sever that bond from birth completely. It happened to ol’ loopy Louis on George Street, at least, that’s what he tells everyone. But I’ve seen others too, I’ve seen two different Guardians before just wandering around alone an’ feral. They looked so lost.”
Ruth suddenly felt sick. She couldn’t think of anything worse than loosing Hobie. She was supposed to take care of him. He was her best friend, her partner in crime, her reason to keep going through these first few years of surviving on the streets. He’d been through so much already for someone so young, he’s wise far beyond his barely 15 years and she wanted to cry. “You couldn’t get rid of me if you tried.”
“I know, I’m jus’ really grateful. You’re a stellar Guardian, Ruth.”
“Well, I don’t know about that” Her voice cracked and she abandoned her half-eaten pizza crust to climb up onto his thigh again, pushing down a couple of times with her front paws to signal that she wanted up. Hobie put down his own 5th slice and picked Ruth up by the armpits to perch her on his sight shoulder. She had to grip onto his thin winter jacket to avoid falling off, but she managed, laying her spines down flat to avoid hurting him. She glanced down to their food through teary eyes, then the pins adorning the jacket’s leather collar, the cheap, patched, fraying jumper underneath and the crochet hook poking out of his top pocket where he kept the bands he was using to try out something new. He’d wanted wicks for a while.
“I do. No one else would go outta their way to steal a pizza three times their size for me.”
“No one worth knowing.” Ruth sniffed wetly, and Hobie, with carefully practiced ease tilted his head and rested his cheek on her back. “One day, you’ll meet people who will do anything for you, Hobie, jus’ like me. People who’d- who’d stop busses an,’ an’ planes and trains for you. They’ll shout your name whenever they see you, and talk about you all the time when you ain’t there, ‘cause they’ll love you millions. You jus’ haven’t met ‘em yet. I know it.
You’ll see.”

mother im doing it again. except this is time im extra ill(this is just the standard)
so. charchlo. fascinating little couple of mine. and by fascinating i mean its. kinda silly but also really not but also probably is? i dont know. i think about charles too long and i start bawling. so naturally i fell in love with him like a totally normal and sane person does
where do i even begin with this ship. like my thoughts run so rampant but like. i cant choose a starting point. how do people do this. uhhh.....
well, i suppose for starters, its a very sweet. totally calm. nice couple. now let me be honest: its the equivalent of 'dont let your dog out of your sight because it can and will do something Stupid'
except im the dog. i am very much the dog. if charles is not holding me by the shoulder i might somehow obtain flammable moonshine and do god knows what. awkward moment of charles having to excuse himself and tell me to not be stupid. respectfully
i like to give him a lot of affection. and while hes like. fairly awkward about giving it in turn, im always like. nono sweetheart. let me Spoil you. and charles really wants to reciprocate but ends up becoming a puddle the moment i start kissing along his nose. I LOVE HIS NOSE he doesnt really understand why?? thats ok
uhhh you mightve seen me call charchlo the 'serenity in silence' couple, and that's because!! we show our love outside of words. like words as a whole are hard and talking and expressing can be Weird. so love is shown through other ways. Like charles walking on the outside of me while we're near high surfaces because he knows i hate being up high. or me gently rubbing his arms as a reassurance because sometimes touch is soothing. or maybe we both got shot and im more focused on tending to charles' wound and hes telling me to tend to myself first and im teling him everything will be okay and to lean back on someone for once but hes paranoid and-
im not very strong. i tell charles this very frequently even though he believes otherwise. there was a moment in which i hadnt seen him in a while so i hugged him so hard that i ended up just barely lifting him off the ground.
we were both stunned.
according to. a video that did. model comparisons of the characters. and charles is 5'10. which is great because i perpetually see this man as tiny. but anyways sometimes i will walk up to charles just to call him short and then walk away. he is confused but also flattered?? but also is he really short??(hes not)(but im 5'8 so like. eh)
it should be noted: modern charchlo is where i am his height in any platformed boots. then i Really call him short.
i love to compliment charles. like a lot.
» your eyes are so pretty, you know that? like, they have this very particular shine in them that makes them stand out, while also being pensive while working, yet also conveying so much emotion that most might not tend to notice. i find that beautiful!
» i love your scars so much. sometimes i'll be staring bery intently at your arms and just admiring them. you have so many, and thats kinda sad, but i think theyre pretty regardless.
^followed up with a nonchalant shrug like charles' face did not rise in temperature but thats okay
again. i dont know how to ramble. hlep me
