[hazashiovo]

Hiiii! I just saw you’re taking requests could you do some bolin and/or mako relationships hcs with a badass/cool/badgirl kind of s/o please? Thx so much in any case!

I gotchuuu 😉

Bolin and Mako x reader (separate) with a badass s/o

A/n: keep the requests coming people

When Mako first met you he knew you were trouble. From the way you were talking to how you acted,he knew.

You're the kind of person that says ACAB,very loudly, near a police station just to piss him off,and don't deny it.

Becoming friends was unusual to him,only for him to realize you're a really good friend but have odd ways of showing it.

One time this dude went off on Bolin, yelling something about his cabbages,until you appeared in front of him.

He swears he never saw someone go quiet that fast before. That's the first time he felt something for you(or so he thinks).

Mako would be reluctant in confessing to you. He would be worried you don't like him back or laugh about it in his face.

But it was nothing like that, because he didn't confess. You did. During a fight with the equalizers.

It was sorta funny really,for a few minutes mako thought he got knocked out and he was dreaming.

"Hey mako?" A punch in one's face, "What is it (Name)?" He dodges an attack.

"I like you!" You wink at him,after knocking an enemy out.

Oh and the expression on his face 😭

Yeah after you got rid of Amon's followers,Mako looked at you like you asked him to marry you.

It wasn't a shock when you got together, everyone shiped you.

The two of you are an amazing duo,bad ass boyfriend and even more bad ass girlfriend.

When he joined the police department,you joined him.

Now Mako knows your beautiful,and strong,but he still hates the way his colleagues undress you with their eyes.

God forbid anyone to try to ask you out without knowing you and Mako date.

It would sometimes create arguments between you two, Mako would say some harsh things,things he didn't mean. Of course the next day you'd make up.

But if it was for a girl to flirt with Mako, you wouldn't get all defensive because you trust him.

Now, leaving that aside.

One thing Mako noticed is that you can take good care of yourself,so you never were in need of help in combat.

But if it ever happens ,his whole world would crash,like if you're a bender, imagine Amon taking away your abilities.

Even without your bending you would be confident and strong,which makes Mako admire you more than before.

On top of it,you're great together and most of the people would say so.

Now Bolin here? Oh Bolin, when he first saw you his pupils turned to hearts,and I'm not joking.

Like,you would be over there with your cool car or cool motorcycle,and Bolin would gawk at you from across the street. He almost fainted when you crossed the street to start a conversation with him.

Of course Bolin would be a flustered mess every time you flirted with him.

Frankly all you wanted was a soft boy to match with your tough personality. The people who don't know you would think you'd prefer a boy with the same personality as you,but no, Bolin is the perfect boy.

Some people think you're intimidating,but not Bolin.

He knows you're badass,but he could never see you as scary.

He likes when you stand up for yourself,and for him.

One time Bolin happened to trip over this guy's cabbage stand,and he just flipped! Started yelling at the poor boy and all.

Until you came,you gave that man the coldest glare which made him shut up so quick. He couldn't lie to himself that he found it really attractive, especially in you.

I like to think that he confessed his love to you while you were saving him from Amon with the Krew. Imagine him just jumping on you , bawling his eyes out and telling you he's in love with you after he almost lost his bending.

Of course you accepted and returned his feelings,wich got the two of you in a long term relationship that is still strong.

This one was cute 😽

hiiii can u do smt cute like baking with haechan!! tysm 🐻

anything haechan is a yes for me! i made them sorta bestfriends to lovers so i hope thats okay, enjoy! ☺

haechan could not bake, yeah he could cook here and there, but baking? nope, not haechan's thing. but for you? of course, haechan was ready, apron on, spatula in hand, ready to help you bake. "hyuck it's just cookies from premade dough, you don't need a baker's hat" you giggled at his appearance, he was totally over prepared, but still somehow found a way to make himself look cute. "well y/n, if you don't mind, i take cookie baking very seriously unlike someone," he looked you up and down, fake judging you, hoping you couldn't see the blush on his cheeks from seeing you wearing his hoodie and shorts. "shut up these clothes are yours, come here and help me roll this dough into balls." he scurried next to you on the kitchen counter, hands going in to grab some dough. he watched you first grabbing some dough, rolling it in between you hands, and then placing it on the baking paper, fingers slightly pushing down on the middle of the dough ball, then he replicated it. after a short period of time you noticed the dough was gone, confused, you looked over at what haechan was doing, and you couldn't help but burst out laughing, "hyuck what the actual hell is that" at this point you were hunched over laughing, "what do you mean, i just did what you did?" he looked down toward his cookies and then over to yours, his cheeks burning from embarrassment. haechan had made abnormal looking cookies, some lopsided, some tiny, some huge, some missing chocolate chips. "okay, haha, my cookies are unique, you can stop laughing now" he reached over to grab your laughing body holding you by your waist, turning you to face him, face to face. your laugher died down but he could see your face had a light shade of pink to it and your eyes were watery. you stopped to grab his face, "i'm sorry hyuckie, your cookies will be delicious i bet, they're just funny looking" haechan didn't care about the cookies anymore, in his arms, you looked beautiful, hair messy, no makeup, swimming in his hoodie. "i really wanna kiss you right now" he waited for your reaction, maybe shocked maybe scared, but you just smiled at him, "then kiss me hyuck, you think i invite just any guy over to make weird cookies?" he chuckled at your comment, leaning down to give you a quick peck and then another, and another, until the kitchen was filled with sounds of giggling and kisses. haechan was the first to back away, "and fyi i don't just show up to every girl's house and let her see my weird balls" what a dork, your dork.

🌲You spotted him!!🌲

HIIII i made some art for my AU

though I will say that this is not cannon teen alan, I honestly don't remember what he looks like or if he even has a design for that but this is sorta my own take on it, not to diffrent from his adult self since I'm depicting him in his later teen years

ALSO if you are wondering the AU does take place in the early 2000s so everyone has their cute little flip phones and things use to be cheaper back then and all that jazz

I feel like his desgin is really cute, im giving myself a pat on the back for this one hehe.

also if you have seen the ref pic, yes his pants zip off into shorts!! and his pockets also zip up because skater gear or whatnot hehe..we don't want any valuables to fall out and break while we are zooming around, do we? hehe

anyways..I hope you guys like it! :D

ATBB's Future

Hiiii y'all, its uh. been a minute huh

Now that it's been a bit over a year since I put this blog on hiatus, a loootta stuff has happened and changed and i've been doing a loootttta thinking!

Looking back on it, like really really looking, my biggest reason for the hiatus was that at some point the blog just kinda became more of a chore than something I wanted to work on for fun. Ask blogs are a lot of work, even when you're just using talking portraits rather than drawing out every individual answer, and with how much ask culture on tumblr has died out over the years there just wasn't really enough payoff to make it feel worthwhile to keep burning myself out.

I think it's a really good thing I stopped it when I did, because having to deal with all that in my senior year of high school would have been a nightmare. I've actually just finished up my first semester of college now, and there's no way in hell I would've been able to keep up at any rate! With all of this in mind, I've gained a newer perspective about how to approach things going forward.

I'm still really attached to this story. With how much time I've spent thinking about it and developing it in my head, I can't let it go, even if the blog isn't really working out anymore. I keep thinking of different ways I could fix the decisions I made early on, as well as the super cool directions I could take it in in the future, and I just. I GOTTA.

So, I've decided to reboot it entirely as a fic series!

This means that, unfortunately, there won't be nearly as much artwork to accompany it, but it's far more likely for the story to actually progress! Writing is way less draining for me and once I get going I can do it much quicker than art anyway, even though I do still sorta wish I had the spoons to just turn it into a full-blown webcomic instead haha

This DOES mean that updates won't be nearly as linear as they were here, seeing as right now I've mostly been working on backstory fics that took place before the blog's main story, but that can at least give you guys more context for how the characters interact with each other! I'll also state that while I do write faster than I draw, I still do it a hell of a lot less, so updates will still probably be pretty infrequent. But at least they'll happen at all, right?

As for the state of this blog itself, obviously I'm going to leave it up! I still love looking back on the old interactions you guys had with my characters and your reactions to certain plot points (your reactions to Fluff tagging along with the rest of the group were my favorite by far) and I think it would actually kill me to erase them. I'll be posting the fic updates here too, just like I did for Self Hatred!

And even if it's not going to be an ask blog anymore, because of how much I still miss that kind of interaction with you guys, I think I want to do a sort of "last hurrah" event, to finally send off the asking format with some good vibes.

You see, there's a character I made up around this time of year two years ago. He's a pretty cool guy, but he doesn't actually show up until a specific turning point later in the story. I've been excited for you guys to talk to him since the day I made him, but a little bummed lately that you may not ever get the chance. I still need to get a lot of stuff prepared, so I'm not quite ready to announce or start anything just yet, but there's a reason I waited until my winter break to start thinking about this seriously.

I think you guys would really like to meet him.

But anyway, that's about all I wanted to say for now! This is a very long post already so it's time I start wrapping it up. As always, thank you all so much for sticking with me, even though I really haven't been consistent through the years. I hope this change doesn't come as too much of a disappointment, and that you'll keep sticking around for the reboot!

#LONG ass post sorry guys but i wanted to cover all my bases 😌 #ooc #actually i think im gonna add the bone boys tag too just to make things less confusing for any chrono readers #bone boys #i might post some sneak peeks of my current wips a bit later just to prove i AM actually working on it lol #woulda put it here but its wayyyyyyyy too long n i didn't wanna add a cut 😔 #i hope you guys can get excited about the send off event tho... it probably wont last longer than a month but i think itll be rlly cool :>

🙈 hiiii I'm late to the party! I been seeing the coccolino tag everywhere and I sorta traced it back to you, did it originate from you? what does it mean? it's so cute 🙊

Ciao Anon! Thank you for your question! First of all, I apologize for taking a while to respond. But since I care so much about this word, I wanted to give you a thorough answer! ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )

Coccolino is a global softener commercial brand known in the market for the teddy bear that appears as a mascot on packaging and in product advertisements [e.g. 🧸]. In English it is called Snuggle. It also has nostalgic value for me because I grew up always seeing the commercials on TV.

Since I always give nicknames to everyone and everything, I originally started using the term Coccolino for photos of Paul in which he was dressed particularly snuggly, cute and cozy [e.g. 🤍,🖤].

But what makes me the happiest is how it has been received by others in the fandom, which I did not expect at all. I was used to being in my corner of tumblr doing my own thing without anyone noticing. To my surprise some became curious, asked me what it meant and started to use it as well, but in their own personal way creating different types of Coccolino! At a certain point, an anon even created the variant Cockolino. Here are some of my favorites [✨, 🐡, 🛶, 🦖, 👶, 💥, 🌞, 🦈, 🚒, 🔥, 🕺, 💀, 🚂 ]

So yeah, it may have started with me, but now it belongs to everyone, and I couldn't be happier! I truly love this fandom! (；ω；) 💚

Nanami anon here. I really hope they develop Mahoro with these sorts of themes in mind. I can't believe I forgot the princess aspect of Nanami, it's such a big thing in Utena in regards to self delusion and how people end up stuck in gendered social roles. This general perspective is what's keeping me interested in Bucchigiri cuz I can see so much potential for that sort of depth. I'm so glad I could help spark this sort of discussion (it's been sorta hard to find people willing to engage with these kind of interpretations).

Hiiii Nanami anon! I'm so glad you came back!!

Yes I think this story is so interesting even just in the potential it sets up. If it doesn't deliver on that potential it could be disappointing, I guess. but it brings up a lot of interesting discussions either way, so I'm just enjoying where we are right now and the conversations going on in the criminally tiny fandom.

To be completely honest i spent a lot of time arguing with people about the literary worth of this show on another platform and it was just depressing. Nobody wanted to engage deeper than surface level appeal, and only would approach it through an extremely narrow lens of expected tropes of the type of show *they* wanted to watch, and a demand for pandering to one type of fan in a genre it doesn't even really belong to, instead of honestly approaching it for what it is and the story it's trying to tell. I've been trying to curate my experience more so I can actually enjoy myself, and interacting with the small community of people here who actually like to enjoy and analyze the show within the literary conversation it's clearly trying to have has been so much more fulfilling.

ANYWAY, I love what you're bringing up because self-delusion is such a big theme here! and specifically how it interacts with compulsory gender roles!!! Like, Arajin is trying so hard to fulfill compulsory heterosexuality, but is running away from the very masculine coded honor-through-fighting that senya and the general culture value. A lot of people suspect that his pursuit of losing his virginity is a way to make up for his self-perceived weakness and failure to uphold the masculine ideal of honor-through-fighting when he was young.

THEN when MAHORO stands up and displays that ideal, he is able to achieve it (at least for a moment). There's also discussion that if this follows Aladdin, he's going to lose the genie and some point and will have to essentially prove himself as honorable without the genie's help. This could be interesting. We'll see what happens.

So is fighting masculine coded in this show? Or is it just the height of honor? Or is fighting for the right reasons or in the right ways honorable. Because not all the fighting is portrayed as a good thing.... I'm thinking out loud here.

Anyway, Mahoro is also stuck in this gendered role obviously, but I wonder how much self-delusion will play into it. She believed she needed to use her role as a cute girl to stop the fight, but all those attempts failed. Ultimately what worked was dropping the facade, dropping the role & those tactics, and standing up to fuckface (i do not care about this man I'm so sorry lol) as HERSELF. Saying what she really thought, how she really felt about these people and the whole situation. And basically willing to sacrifice her well-being to do so. Ooooh this is so interesting!!!!

I really can't wait to see where this goes, I know I keep saying that but. It's true. I mean, Matakara could be said to have some delusions about honor. Maybe the way he sees his brother is diluted. He believes in Arajin to a fault, but he was proven correct. Although it wasn't him that sparked the change. I dunno, a lot to think about.

I'm so glad I could be an intermediary for this discussion! I don't know anything about Utena, but if y'all do feel free to talk through me lol. I'm loving this.

Bad idea

Summary: Matthew sturniolo and Y/N Y/L/N are sworn enemies. They absolutely hate eachother. That all changes in one night, when matt gets a little too jealous.

Warnings: crying? Creepy man, cussing (think that's it)

Y/n's pov.

Me, matt, nick, and chris were all getting ready for a party we were gonna attend.I walk up the stairs from chris' room. "You guys ready?." I ask. Everybody nods their head. "Your really gonna go out wearing that?" Matt asks me in a bitchy tone. I was wearing a silk black dress that was short and barely covered my ass. "Yeah. You got something you wanna say about?" I clap back at matt. Matt just rolls his eyes and walks outside to the car.

We all get into the car. I'm sat in the back with Nick and mat and chris are in the front. "Can I have aux?" I ask, sick of the silence. "Yea-" Chris says before matt cuts him off "no y/n, no you cant" Matt says. "Well I wasn't asking you, dipshit" I yell at matt.

I snatch the phone from chris and start playing 'friends' by chase Atlantic. Matt slowly starts bopping his head to the song. "Not so mad now, huh?" I ask matt, teasing him. "Oh shut the fuck up" Matt says, rolling his eyes. "Matt! Don't speak to hear that way!" Nick yells. Matt scoffs but stays silent.

We arrive at the party and I start to wander off. I soon realize that I don't really know anyone here. I look around the room uncomfortably. 'Why did I even come?' I think to myself. Tears well in my eyes, I had nothing to cry about. I just didn't like anything at the party anymore and knowing that I had nothing to distract me made me even more upset.

I was just about to walk outside when I feel someone grab my arm. I turn around and see a random guy who was clearly drunk. "Hey honey, wanna have some fun?" The stranger asks. I laugh awkwardly "um no..I'm okay..I was actually just about to leave." I say. The guys grip gets stronger "leave? Why would you want to leave? The party just started" the man slurred. The tears I was holding back start flowing down my face. I was very embarrassed and I just wanted to leave. "Listen, I jus wanna go home, please let me go." I cry. The man opens his mouth to say something when he gets cut off.

"Let go of her." Matt's stern voice says. I turn to my right and see him glaring at the guy. "And what if I dont?" The creep smiles at matt. "If you don't, I will take off my shoelace and strangle you with it until your purple. Let her go, now." Matt says, stepping closer. The man let's go and glares at matt before walking away. I look a matt "um..thank you." I say, wiping my tears. Matt's eyes soften when he sees me "are you okay?" He asks, softly. I immediately start crying again. "No. I wanna go home" I sob. Matt nods and walks me outside. I assume matt was gonna keep walking to the car but he stops.

I turn around. Matt beckons me to come over. I walk right infront of him. "Did he do anything else to you? Because if he did, I will walk back in there and actually kill him" Matt says angry, looking me dead in the eyes. "No. I promise" I say gently. I move hair out of his face and tuck it behind his ear. Matt nodded his head and looks in my eyes again. Except this time it's different. There was no hatred in his eyes. No anger. Instead, it was concern. But not just concern. It was..love?

My eyes flick from Matt's eyes to his lips. His beautiful pink lips. "Eyes are up here, princess" Matt says smiling. I immediately look back into his blue eyes. Matt Leans in closer. So do I. "This is a bad idea" I whisper, leaning in closer.

"I know.." Matt says closing the gap between us and kissing me.

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOO HIIII !!!!!!!!!!! can i request some general relationship hcs for crocodile with a masc reader ? thanks and have a great day !!!!!! 🧡🧡🧡

Of course you can anon! I'm currently at the Impel Down breakout, so these will be pre-time skip head cannons. Also, I'm really sorry how sad they get at the end, it just sorta happened and I couldn't stop ;-;

General Relationship hcs for Crocodile with a masc reader

First thing to realize with this man is that he is busy. So busy in fact that not seeing him for days at time isn't all that uncommon. That being said, Crocodile would want his s/o to be someone who's independent and capable of taking care of himself. This isn't to say he'd reject someone for being more needy if he truly cared about them, but being self-sufficient is huge plus in his eyes.

Someone who knows how to put their foot down is a must as well. Crocodile has plenty of people at his beck and call. Countless people he pays to do whatever he says. So, while he may not always want it, he does need someone who has his best interests at heart and isn't going to be afraid to speak their mind.

For better or worse, the most common occurrence of arguing between the two of you is probably going to be directed towards his work habits. Being driven and confident, but he doesn't always know his limits and will often overwork himself because of it. Don't be afraid to voice your concerns and tell him it's time for a break. He may grumble and argue that he's too busy to be bothered, but he appreciates your concern deep down. And waking up with his coat suddenly draped over him after having dozed off at his desk during a late night? He'll never admit it, but it makes him feel so warm and fuzzy inside.

Crocodile is someone that doesn't trust others easily and assumes most would betray him if it so suites them. It's how he treats others after all, so why assume they'd behave differently. He's strong and influential enough to not have to worry about it most of the time, but it's always in the back of his mind as well. So earning his trust enough to be in a romantic relationship in the first place is a a feat in and of itself. It's going to be slow going and you'll have to be patient, but just don't give up on him when he inevitably pushes you away or acts distant in the relationship. Showing that you'll stick around and truly want to be with him will go a long way.

I personally think Crocodile would try to keep his personal life outside of work. Having someone he cares about enough to worry over their safety is tough enough, he doesn't need them getting involved with the more seedy characters he works with. So, as far as you're aware, he's genuinely the hero of Alabasta and runs a casino. Ignorance is bliss and you couldn't be prouder of how much the man you love does for others.

If you met through his more illicit dealings though, it's a whole other story. You're the person he trusts most in the whole world and that already goes a long way. With an ability to not only defend yourself, but also kick ass and get shit done, you'll pretty much be guaranteed a While Baroque Works is still up an running, you're definitely the only person other than Robin who knows the true identity of Mr. Zero for the entirety of the operation.

Now, I can think of a few possible scenarios for what happens during the fallout of Alabasta. One is that you manage to escape without being captured. Another is you get captured and sent to Impel Down, whether you were involved in Crocodile's illicit affairs or not because the Marines and World Government just be like that. And the third is your captured but instead of throwing you in Impel Down, the World Government decides to keep you at Marine Headquarters for questioning and the ungodly amount of intel they'd assume you have. So we'll go through those one by one.

Assuming you manage to avoid being captured, relieved is the only way to describe how he feels. Especially if you were in the dark the entire time; you don't deserve to face punishment and being tortured for his actions. That being said, if you aren't someone who's used to having to defend yourself or has much of any combat experience, he's going to be incredibly worried the entire time you're separated. He may not outwardly show it, but the man is so anxious not knowing if you're okay or not. If you escaped and he knows you can fend for yourself he won't be nearly as worried, but you'll still be weighing on his heavily.

If you didn't escape and got sent to Impel Down with him and the other agents of Baroque Works, you can sure as hell bet you're getting broken out either through somehow ending up Luffy's party before they're confronted by Magellan or Crocodile also seeking you out when he grabs Daz. Either way, you're being with them is going to be a condition for him to help Luffy break out. Iva will absolutely tease him about having gone soft for someone because of it. But you don't mind too much, it's just affirmation of how much he truly cares about you.

And if you got captured and taken to Marineford to be questioned? All the more reason to go with Luffy. Saving Ace? Sure, whatever. His main priority the entire time will be locating you and woe be the fool who's idiotic enough to stand between him and the man he loves.

The big hurdle to overcome will be if you didn't know about everything before Luffy showed up. Because you sure do now and there's going to be a lot of betrayal and baggage attached to this discovery. Even if you're being held for questioning and he shows up to save you, do you even want to go with him at this point? Everything about your previous life was a lie and how do you know that won't just continue? How do you even know if the man you've known and loved these past years wasn't just a lie as well?

The hurt and distrust in your eyes when you come face to face for the first time after everything is enough to make him freeze on the spot. And the way you flinch away, as if your scared he may hurt you now that you know everything? Well that absolutely shatters his heart.

Whether you choose to stay with him or not, he'll still search you out or save you from where ever the marines are keeping you. Again, it's not your fault all of this happened and he feels he at least owes you the respect of an explanation and apology for all he's put you though.

The Nanny (pt. 1/?)

⋯⁂ Summary: Mr. Zhongli works at a quaint little daycare, and he’s the children’s favorite. Although, when you come by for the first time with your niece in tow, his curiosity about your anxiety around children has officially been piqued.

⋯⁂ a/n: hiiii this was inspired by a tiny set of asks at @zhongrin's a while back. i've only now gotten around to it lmao. i hope u guys like it! i plan to write more but we'll have to see if that'll work out or not.

⋯⁂ w.c: 717.

⋯⁂ characters: zhongli. gn reader. reader has a niece.

⋯⁂ cw: modern-ish au. reader is nervous around kids and lowkey generally anxious. sorta fluffy.

Mr. Zhongli has been a daycare attendant for quite some time now. He enjoys his job to the fullest—the little ones rarely fail to light up his day. Of course, some days are rougher than others—you can only do so much evading. But he's long since accepted the inevitabilities of life.

He took this job, figuring it'd be much easier than his former jobs. And thus far, he's been right. It is a lot easier for his historic heart, even a couple of years later after taking care of a variety of children from all kinds of backgrounds. To this day, he still enjoys his job—it somehow always brings a sun-kissed smile to his face.

To the average person, the days might blend in a little after a few weeks of working at the daycare. But, for him, he remembers every single day as clearly as the last one. It's his own little curse to bear and has been for an alarmingly long time. Yet, these little ones always make that curse much easier to bear in the long run.

Today was no different for him—people come and go to pick up their kids at various hours of the day. And the kids still adore his stories, at least when he uses simple words and no figures of speech. The less confusing the better. And finally, his deep yet gentle voice lulls many little ones to naptime. Is that his plan all along? He'll never confess.

Today was no different… Keyword: Was.

That's until you arrived during nap time with a sleepy toddler waddling next to you. You're holding your niece's hand while her spare hand rubs at her tired eyes. To Zhongli, she looks like she'll collapse at any moment. So, he speed-walks over to the doors where you entered.

"Hey there…" He greets, accidentally using his baby voice when he speaks. "Ahem—my apologies—good afternoon. You must be new?" He inquires with a soft yet firm voice.

"Y-Yeah, I am." You nod sheepishly. You look down at your niece, muttering her name, to which she doesn't bother responding. You sigh a little. "Uh… This is my niece… I'm babysitting her for, uh…a while… But, y'know… Work…" You sputter out awkwardly.

A nervous gulp restricts airflow when you notice all the tiny bodies of sleeping children behind the attendant. You want out as soon as possible. Children have never been your forte… Even getting along with your peers as a kid was difficult enough.

And Zhongli—while he won't admit it to anyone, especially not you—has never seen someone so fearful around kids. At least, not in this work field. You're the first.

Instead of responding verbally, he gives you a nod before approaching the little girl attached to you. He crouches down to her height, offering a welcoming hand to her—a hand that's gloved with black fabric hiding the old callouses of bygone years.

"Hello…" He speaks with a softer, warmer voice, "What's your name?"

Your niece sleepily tells him her name.

"What a pretty name." He smiles more, "Would you like to join the others in naptime? I'll even let you sleep a little extra—" She immediately runs away from you to rush over to his leg and hold it in her tiny, chubby arms. "Haha," He chuckles, "I will take that as a yes."

Leading her over to the area with all the other napping children, he hands her a fluffy blanket and pillow. She's hasty to flop down onto the floor in front of him and fall fast asleep.

You breathe a sigh of relief at the sight. And then you choke up again when he approaches you again at the door. Even though he's smiling and so very kind, you're not sure where to start let alone do.

"May I have your name? I will add both of your names to the sign-in book." He inquires, and once you tell him your first and last names, he swiftly adds them to the cute, stickered book at his desk.

"Uh…" You mutter, "I'll get out of your hair now…! Bye!" You choke out before nearly charging out of the building at the fastest walking speed he's ever seen.

"Goodbye—" He starts, but by the time he gets the whole word out, you're gone.

[bittybeanie]

hiiii its been long since i requested anything im general hahaha but how do u think reigen’s f s/o would react on things happening in final arc and the epilogue its so interesting to me plus your writing is so genius i love it! have a nice day love!!

hiiii! thank you so much!! OH GOD i have so many thoughts and feelings on the final arc let's Jump Right Into It (featuring a teensy bit of "mob is basically your kid" because, well, i have a lot of feelings about that too)

first of all just- worry. you'd probably have a sneaking suspicion that everything going on was because of psychic powers but you might not associate it with mob specifically quite as fast as reigen would. and of course you wouldn't be able to get in touch with anybody so that worry would just build and build until you finally said fuck the evacuation order and went looking at the office.

you and serizawa get there at the same time after reigen sends him away and you're immediately like "where is he." but serizawa sure as hell can't say "well, reigen is currently chucking himself full force into a psychic tornado in an attempt to save the kid you've practically adopted and i just left him there because he told me he had something important he needed to say on his own" so what comes out instead is more like "um. he's. um. reigen. um. kageyama? with kageyama." the vague knowledge that they're together is enough to calm you for the time being and you end up waiting it out in the office with serizawa.

you're not exactly thrilled when reigen shows up covered in blood and cuts after sounding like everything was fine on the phone, but the relief of seeing him intact way overshadows anything else you're feeling when you bolt up to meet them at the door. reigen is pretty sure it's impossible for him to be any more in love with you than he is while he watches you give mob a onceover for injuries and scoop him up into a hug. you're a lot more gentle when you hug reigen because he looks rough, but he squeezes you with everything he's got. all three of you cry, but none of you address it. serizawa graciously looks away, and floats over a box of tissues.

as for the aftermath, treating! his! wounds! neither of you really say anything, there's just the occasional hiss from him when the disinfectant stings a bit too much followed by your immediate response of "I know, I'm sorry, sweetheart." every so often, his hand on your knee will tighten as he tries not to cry again, and you'll take his hand to anchor him as you keep wiping at the dried blood on his face. you'll need to do a more in depth check on him once the two of you get home, but your main focus is getting him cleaned up and into the spare outfit he keeps at the office so he can go back to feeling a little more normal and a little less Vulnerable.

when he finally tells you what happened, he expects you to yell at him for being so reckless, but you just sorta sit quietly until you're sure he's done. you've always admired his willingness to throw himself into situations to save others, to step in where other people probably wouldn't, so it's not like you're upset with him for doing what he thought he needed to do. if anything, you're proud, especially because you know how hard the admission would have been for him. but… you're also not oblivious to the fact that he just walked to the office barefoot. you settle on "I'm glad you're safe." he responds with "me too," and you're not sure even he knows whether he means you or himself. either way, you believe him.

after his confession to mob, it would be easier for his walls to come down around you as well. i don't think he'd start dating you without you knowing the whole Fake Psychic thing in the first place, but mob knowing too just means a whole layer of stress has been taken away from his life and he can breathe a little easier. he still lies sometimes out of… instinct? self-preservation? dramatic embellishment? but by now it's gotten pretty easy for you to tell when he does it, which is less and less as time goes on. the fact that you seem to fall more and more in love with him the more he tells the truth instead of pushing him away like he thought you would definitely helps.

i have a lot of feelings about his birthday in general that i'm having a hard time articulating but i'm also just thinking specifically about the cake incident like… holding his jaw and gently wiping the frosting off his face and laughing with him while all the kids are like "oooooooh!" is a very funny image to me. he's already embarrassed and you feel a little bad but you just can't pass up a chance like this. you give him a lil kiss on the cheek as an apology but it just makes him more flustered because now the kids will NEVER let him live it down.

HIIII NEW BESTIE SAV!!! I gotta admit, I'm so curious about all your ships - Diallus for sure and your possible Cookie ships too omg (I'm on a huge C.R.K kick rn thanks to my husband Rockstar ☺️💖)!!!

If you have time, I'd love to know more about them and your s/is!! Also, your Cookiesona RULES... I LOVE THE DESIGN AND COLORS SO MUCH???? Straw antennae is such a badass idea fr 🤩✨️✨️

♡• rockstars-babe •♡

AAAA REFF THANK YOU 😭💕 I appreciate you so much!!

Okay, so to be completely honest, I just started playing both Elden Ring and CKR for myself so a lot of my knowledge is from watching play throughs up until now. 😅 So some game mechanic stuff is still in the air for my S/Is. So, that being said, some of what I end up posting here might end up changing in the future, but we’ll see!!

So, for starters, I’ll talk about my Cookiesona, Calico Soda Cookie! 💜

Okay! So, Calico Soda itself is a mixed drink from Knott’s Berry Farm, an amusement park I really enjoyed going to back in October! 💜 The drink is like a boysenberry & cream flavored soda that you can only get in the park at their special saloon! It’s such a pretty and refreshing drink, and I just HAD to make something with it! I’m still working on figuring out her exact powers— I’m torn between little soda pop pistols or boysenberry bombs? But yeah! She’s a rootin’ tootin’ saloon girl!

(I just realized at least two of my sonas have been really leaning into the Western theme, whoopsie lmao)

As for ships… I might’ve-sorta-kinda gotten kinda smitten with a certain big, spicy cookie. u///u *cough*Capsaicin Cookie*cough* ❤️‍🔥

———

And as for my Elden Ring S/I, the bare bones stuff I have for her is that she specializes in fire and bleed magic, dual wields bladed weapons and she’s close friends (or maybe a protege of some sort?) with Fia. And so, when Fia eventually makes it to the Roundtable Hold, she meets Diallos. ;v; ❤️

… And so far that’s about all I have for her story wise lmao. Soon though! Soon I’ll know more and I can put together a better, more fleshed out story!

Thank you so much for taking interest in my sonas!! I’m happy I can talk about them when I can!

#thank you for the ask my friend! #self ship #self insert #my art #self shipping #heart eyes #selfship #sav's ships #cookiesona #elden ring self ship #cookie run self ship #LOOOREdump!!! #rest your heart with mine #capsaicin tag #until I can come up with something for him LMAO

Hello love!! 🌷🌷

I'm not sure if you've talked about this before but....

The intro of season 1 part 2 is from loid's pov i think?? It just makes so much sense that way (that's why there's so less of loid in it and yor just looks so pretty in it (she always does tho tbh))

And also also, in the penguin episode where the forgers go to the aquarium, loid and your are sorta matching (the white and blue stripes) that was so cute help

I'm obsessed with spy x family and I'm desperately waiting for the new chapters and anime 😭😭

Hiiii 💜💜

About the opening, I think the song more than the visuals themselves is from Loid's POV. The intro shows Yor with her stilettos in her hands, obviously on her way to an assassination, and it also shows a flashback moment of Yor and Yuri where he buries his dead pet goldfish.

At this point, Loid doesn't know Yor is an assassin, so there's no reason for him to "see" Yor like that, and he shouldn't know about that flashback moment either.

Now, there are definitely moments that seem to be from his POV.

But the main vibe I'm getting from the visuals is "Sad life background vs. wholesomeness in a family"

According to a translation of the song by @akehono, (which for me, who doesn't know any Japanese, is the clearest translation of this song I've found, other translations were too confusing) I think Loid fits the most as the POV character of it. While being part of the Forgers brought more light into Anya and Yor's lives, they never truly locked their hearts away - Loid has.

So yeah, because I've seen this take before, I think the intro explores different POVs - the thing is though, that the Loid-centric moments have a little more distance.

He's not openly affectionate, his expressions are more restrained, and because of that, the focus on Anya and Yor's happy faces stands out.

He still has his heart locked away, but he's on his way towards opening it.

So I think it's more of a "multiple POV but Yor and Anya are at the same place emotionally while Loid holds back" kind of thing.

As for the matching blue and white stripes!! Anya matches too!

There seems to be a t-shirt or something under her dress, that also has blue and white stripes. I'm sure if they had Bond at this point they'd wrap a blue-and-white-striped scarf or something around his neck. They are so cute!

I'm SO excited for the new season, for me it's been an even longer wait because I don't read the manga so the last "new" thing I saw was last December XD

You're welcome to come talk to me about the show (just be mindful to not spoil me about manga stuff!), I am also super obsessed with it I could talk about it all day :D

#ask and ye shall receive #anonymous #sxf

[soleilnomoon]

Heeeey! It's me again... since you said it would be okay to send in another ask for the even, I simply could not resist!! *__* But it's so VERY hard to choose, honestly. I love those prompts, with single words one can put together already a kinda sorta scenario. Could I ask for cinnamon roll, dulce de leche roll, angel food cake roll, lemon drop and toffee? (I rewrote this 2x, because it's all too good!) - With a topping of your choice :D I'd ask again for Ace, or perhaps Law or Zoro. =) Thx!!!

hiiii thank you for requesting again ପ(◍•ᴗ•◍)ଓ omg i know right? there are so many different possible combinations, i'm excited to write more stuff. i chose ace for this one because i want to write him more <3

1.5k words, fem reader, sfw (surprisingly), 18+ mdni, it's mildly suggestive, alcohol, angst lite tbh, mutual pining, fluff (shocking, shocking), ace is a brat and reader is a lil shy, but that's ok bc he's into it. has all the drama that love confessions are meant to have (sort of)

prolonged glances across the crowded room — ones that eviscerate any rational thought that dares to flutter around your head and leave you with a plate full of untouched food — music thumping loudly in your ears, but you curl your fingers and ball your hands into fists, ignoring the way he affects you from afar. what is meant to be a celebratory dinner shifts into a full-blown party, with enough drinks to drown the island in. another conquered area for whitebeard, another country under his protection — the townspeople are grateful, keep shoving food at your crew mates, their hospitality sweet and slightly misguided. 

you keep that opinion to yourself, though, a soft sigh slipping out of your mouth, followed by a groan. if you can manage to sneak out undetected, you might avoid having awkward conversations altogether; lately, you’ve been fidgety, keeping to yourself, not really socializing with the others in your division. several crew mates ask you about it repeatedly,  but you have an answer for everything — excuses, really; half-truths that don’t quite feel like lies. although, the more you say them, the more guilt you feel. 

when you’re certain his attention is completely on the plate of food in front of him, you rush out of your seat, slinking around the crowd, but not before grabbing an unclaimed bottle of wine on your way out. with great difficulty, you pluck the cork out and drink straight from the bottle. twisting and turning in the halls until you make it outside.

the streets are just as lively, you take note of several of your crew mates drunkenly singing and dancing around. you smile at that, liking the brief respite that comes with winning several battles in a row; the tranquility that settles, light and dream-inducing, blanketing everyone and easing their minds. unfortunately for you, it’s not quite that simple. another swig from the bottle, the wine tart, semi-sweet — reminding you of the fruit you’d devour over the summers back home, its juices rich and addictive — and making your face warm. 

another sigh drifts out of you, but that doesn’t stop you from heading down to the beach to enjoy a bit of solitude on the sand. normally, you wouldn’t venture out alone like that — especially not at night — but if you didn’t separate yourself from him somehow, you’d come undone. you needed to stand strong, which is what you tell yourself under your breath when you take off your sandals and enjoy the softness of the sand under your feet.

you glance down at your hand, the one that he’d grabbed hours earlier, and wonder what would’ve happened if you actually stayed to listen. caught up in the hows and whys of your thoughts, you don’t hear his heavy footsteps approach you. after inhaling a plate of food, he promptly left the party, wanting to catch up with you. there are things he has to tell you, things that keep knocking against that pitiful organ in his chest; it’s almost difficult to breathe sometimes, thoughts of you routinely consuming him without his permission. 

and he’ll be damned if he lets you get away a second time.

“i’m actually well-versed in reading palms.”

there’s a pause before a slow smile reaches his face at your startled expression. with widened eyes, you take him in, cursing yourself to hell and back for being so oblivious. with a shake of your head, you stare at him with narrowed eyes.

“what are you talking about?”

you know better than to play this game with him — the one where you feign as if you don’t know what he’s talking about, where he calls you out on your shit with that devilish grin of his, which prompts you to start an argument because you don’t know how to handle being around him — and yet, here you are.

he swipes the bottle of wine from your hand, chuckling when you try to grab it back. “don’t be stingy,” he chastises readily, softly clicking his tongue at you. “don’t you know you’re supposed to share with your friends?”

an incredulous laugh tumbles out of you, hopping onto the sand and nudging at ace’s boots. he keeps his dark eyes on you as he drinks deeply from the bottle, enjoying the rush that prances along his tongue from the taste. “oh, so now we’re friends?” absolutely ridiculous; how could he ever consider you a friend, when all can you think about is the various ways you want him t—

“of course we are,” his voice cuts through your sporadic thoughts. maybe the wine is making you more bold, but you pivot around and take a step closer to him. amusement coasts along his face, his lips curling upward again, and while the moon is mostly hidden behind a few thick clouds, you’d still be able to see the freckles that litter his cheeks. “don’t you think so?”

he keeps looking at you intensely —  like you hold the answers to questions he’s not brave enough to ask; it’s presumptuous to believe that, of course, but with how quickly he sought you out, with the warmth that’s radiating off of his body, you can’t help but think it’s true. you inhale sharply, the warm breeze stirring something within you, something you can’t quite put a name to yet.

you lick your lips, thoughts bouncing around, but before you can gather yourself appropriately, your mouth moves on its own. “no, how could we be?” your eyes widen at that, “there’s no damn way.”

ace finishes the rest of the wine without issue, barely feeling any of it, but knowing that his face does feel a little warmer than nowhere. tossing the empty bottle onto the sand without a care. “is this because i kissed you?”

because if it is, then he can easily ease your worries.

you gasp and he rolls his eyes at that, a sly smirk on his lips when he leans closer to you. it’s on instinct that your hand shoots up and clamps down over his mouth; you don’t know why you do it, he’s already said it out loud. the memory slams into you without remorse, images flashing of the last time you were alone with him. you don’t even remember what you were talking about, but his mouth was on yours, hands cupping your face, as you died several times. it’s true, you did — why else did your heart sputter out of control, keeping you in bed for days as your mind doled out a vicious punishment. 

because the problem is, he kissed you and you liked it; he kissed you and you wanted to bottle the weightless feeling it gave you; he kissed you and you kept wanting to kiss him back.

you’re not ready to deal with that; it’s why you’ve kept your distance. you don’t know why exactly, but the idea of ace knowing that you like him like that is probably a fate worse than death. he grabs onto your wrist and you freeze, brain only restarting when he kisses the center of your palm. you let out a small shriek, which only makes him laugh again, the sound reverberating against your hand, traveling up your arm, and gliding around your heart. one squeeze and you’re helpless against his incessant teasing.

“i see what the problem is,” he says smoothly, tugging you closer as he presses a lingering kiss on your wrist. “first thing’s first, i need you to stop running away from me.” because how else can he properly talk to you about the think you so adamantly don’t want to talk to him about? but, again, your mouth is on autopilot, saying things before your brain can catch up.

“the problem is that i like you and it annoys me very much.”

the confession makes him wrap a thick arm around you, holding you closer, you body igniting with his prolonged touch. if you had more sense you’d walk away, find a new crew to sail with, and never look back — but you don’t, and you doubt you ever will.

“shouldn’t be a problem,” he releases his hold on your hand and you swallow thickly, not knowing if you can handle whatever else he wants to say. “i like you too.” it was more than obvious, you were just too stubborn to see it. but your eyes are open now, so you have no excuse; and you’re not sure what compels you, but you lean forward and press your lips against his. now, that takes him by surprise, but he doesn’t let that deter him as he licks at your bottom lip before seeking refuge in your mouth. your finger tangle around the dark strands of his hair, nails grazing his scalp, a jolt of electricity siphoning his common sense. 

a sense of urgency passes through you when you find the taste of his mouth more savory than the wine. you reluctantly pull away from him, chest heaving, lips swollen from kissing. silences holds you captive again, tongue still as you sift through the various things you need to say. he doesn’t mind, though, as he’s very certain that you’ll be less inclined to keep your distance now. and, while he knows he’ll never be able to say it out loud yet, being around you brings a warmth that he can’t stop seeking out. 

hopefully, with everything out on the table, you’ll stop running for real.

[it-was-rose]

Do you have any headcanons (or actual canon/legends) about how Kel Dor express emotions? Particularly when offworld (crying seems really inconvenient with those goggles)

HIIII!!! Again, forgive me for answering this like 3 years after you sent it ToT

SO I've been thinking. A lot. It's what I do lol

I'm gonna get into what I think they do to express their emotions off Dorin. I think that, besides furrowing their brows when frustrated or focused, some of their emotions show through their tusks and (to a certain degree) their space buns.

Like, their tusks will draw up in something resembling a snarl when in pain or angry or maybe even scared. They'll twitch occasionally when relaxed, but the more agitated they get, the more they twitch. Maybe one tusk will get drawn up if they are disgusted or are tasting something not good?

Their space buns, as I've dubbed them, have limited range of movement, I think, but I imagine them to be able to move up and down and slightly back, noticeably. I'm so close to drawing an expression sheet but I'm gonna be sane about this for now. If they perk up, they're happy, alert, excited, that sorta thing. If they're down they're sad. Drawn back, means they're uncomfortable in some way.

I also think they're much more aware of their own body language than most, seeing as that's how they'll primarily be interpreted, emotion wise. Most Kel Dors will adopt a slower and more gentle body language (at least when around friends and acquaintances) to not seem threatening due to their "faceless" appearance. There are some who don't care about that for whatever reasons they have, of course.

I think expressive Kel Dors would rely on sounds too....... yeah, I hc that they purr. I also think that they'll rumble and growl, because nothing brings me greater joy than old man Plo making weird old man noises. They'll hiss if they're in pain. Also straight up whale noises if they're particularly sad.

No more thoughts, head empty. Thanks for asking <3
