I've had a pitch crush on someone for a while! I really hate them! >:)
But one of our hatefriends just told me they might be pale for me? >:O
If they are, what do I do??? How do I make them hate me properly? :(
I don't pity them! I don't even know why they pity me! Or if they even really do! :?
It's really confusing and I don't want to have to reject them and then have to try and ask them out! That's not gonna go well!!! >:(
yeah i dont know that sounds awful i think personally id just die
questionable advice: either try upping the annoyingness and going all out with pitch flirting or just sit them down and just actually ask them if they pity you or not maybe youll get lucky and they dont but either way at least youll know right so that sucks a little less than not knowing
bad advice: kill their lusus maybe thatll make them really mad at you

hi hi! can I request some headcanons about the ninja (+pixal, if you're up for it) having an artist s/o? okay thank you, also I love your writing!
Oooh yess!! Where my artist ninjago enjoyers at⁉️ I’ve come to nourish you <3
Ninjago - Ninjas (+ Pixal) with an Artist s/o
Jay
Immediately asks if you can draw/paint/etc him
If you agree, he will ask again in the future
….honestly he’ll probably keep asking even if you say no
What can he say? He wants to inspire you ;)
If you have art block, he immediately jumps to pose dramatically or arrange a bowl of fruit or something
He’s equally enamored with the quality of your work and the fact that it came from your hands
He loves all your work, even the pieces you decide to scrap/re-do
“What are you doing?? That was perfect!”
“Jay? How long have you been standing there-”
On that note, he loves to watch you work
Even when you don’t know he’s watching… (he’s a little obsessed)
But the plus side of this is that he knows the exact products you use, and he can see when you’re running low
He makes sure to replenish your stocks for you :) so you won’t ever have to worry about running out mid-project
He also makes sure to flaunt your work as much as possible, especially the pieces he “inspired”
He truly thinks you’re the best artist in the world, and he WILL fight someone over it
Cole
I see Cole as a pretty artsy guy himself, so he’d be thrilled to have an artsy s/o
You might not expect it, but he’s really in tune with his feelings, so to me it makes sense
He’s not quite as artsy as you, but he knows how to appreciate it
He’s more into the performing arts himself, but he has no less respect for other types of art
He’ll totally arrange work sessions for you both, which vary depending on the vibe you’re working with
Feeling like doing something a little dark or moody? Dramatic piano. Candles. Wine/grape juice in wine glasses.
Feeling colorful? Open windows. Flowers in vases. Candy and fruit. Maybe some cartoons playing in the background.
Point being: he knows how to get a vibe going
He really loves to work alongside you, even if you’re not doing the same thing
Sometimes he tries to sketch or paint, but more often he’s just watching you work or practicing moves
(You guys totally have a shared studio btw; wood floors and barre for him, easel/supply cabinet/whatever you need for you)
You guys definitely help each other out too
He’ll teach you a few moves so you can be his dance partner every now and again, and he’s more than happy to be your muse in return
He doesn’t really do performances or anything (dance is just a side hobby), so he has all the more respect for you if you publicize your work
He loves all your work, but he’s also a great source of constructive criticism
“I like this one. It’s darker than your other pieces, though, isn’t it? More drab.”
“Yeah, that’s kinda what I was thinking. I think I was just in a mood when I made it.”
Kai
He’ll make requests, but mostly for things he thinks would be cool
“What if you did one with, like, a car shooting flames from its exhaust pipes? Oh! And the driver is super handsome with a flaming cape and swords and sunglasses that are made of pieces of the sun!”
“That is insane. …I’m starting right now.”
He really admires your art, and he’s honestly a bit jealous of your skill
He actually has a pretty creative mind, just not the means to express it
So he’ll be shy about it, but eventually he asks if you can give him some pointers
He doesn’t want to keep asking you to bring his sharks flying in jets over volcanoes to life forever, after all
He’s gotta learn to be independent!
So he’ll quietly join you while you work, watching you closely and trying to follow along
He gets frustrated when he isn’t instantly as talented as you, and you have to laughingly assure him that skill takes time
He only gains more respect for you as he tries to stay calm
He learns to truly admire your work this way
And with his admiration came a tenfold increase in support
However you share your art, he’s the #1 supporter
Posting online? He’s already liked, commented, and shared on 7 different platforms. At a showcase? He’s dressed sharply, stationed not-so-inconspicuously in front of your piece(s) and getting others to talk about them
Zane
He also has a deep appreciation for art
He doesn’t always understand non-logical things, but art has a way of resonating with him
So to have a partner who makes art…
It adds a whole new level of emotional depth to your relationship
You already make him feel complex things, so seeing art that’s from you is truly an experience
The wistfulness he gets when looking at normal art is only amplified when he remembers that your hands produced it
He likes to be with you when he admires it, squeezing your hand while he takes in the little details
He’s a quiet admirer, but he’ll absolutely attend any events you’re featured in/support any online presence you have
He never gets tired of looking at your work; or looking at you work, for that matter
If you let him, he’ll watch you work
He’s dead silent, which is either a blessing or a curse depending on how easily you get creeped out
Eventually, when you finish, he’ll stand up and join you at your side, admiring the final product
You know he likes it when he reaches for your hand with a smile, letting you rest your head against him
The most you’ll get verbally is “it’s beautiful,” but trust me, he feels so much more deeply about the piece (and you <3)
Lloyd
Lloyd is more curious than anything when he finds out you’re an artist
What kinds of art do you do? Can he see your work? Have you always liked art?
He’s eager to see your work, but he’s not sure he can “appreciate” it properly
You have to reassure him that there’s no one way to “appreciate” art, and however he feels about it, that’s just how he feels
Your response only increases his interest
He ends up getting more into art because of you
The art of appreciation, if you will
He wants to be able to understand your work more so that he knows how to support you
He mostly spends hours just staring at your work, trying to notice the little details
He’d love to watch you at work, too, if you’ll let him
He asks questions all the time, but still tries not to annoy you
He’s actually already a natural at “appreciating” art, but the fact that he’s always trying to learn only makes him better at it
So you can do nothing but smile while he tilts his head, carefully formulating his next question
They’re surprisingly deep at times:
“Do you think this piece uses smoother shapes because you were feeling relaxed, so you moved more slowly? Or perhaps you were just emulating your calmness subconsciously..?”
“That could be it. I hadn’t thought of it like that.”
“Oh, sorry, am I overanalyzing? Sorry-”
“No, no, you’re totally right.”
You’ll ruffle his hair affectionately, and he’ll wrap an arm around your shoulder while he continues to examine your piece :]
Nya
I’m gonna be honest, I don’t see Nya as the type to get all deep over the meaning of art
Like, if it’s pleasing to the eye she’ll appreciate it, but she doesn’t think about it too much
It’s just too abstract for her tastes; the pseudo-reasoning of art critics gets on her nerves
But for your work she makes an exception
Well, not really an exception—she doesn’t take to pseudo-reasoning
She knows you, she knows your feelings, so when she sees your work, she sees a piece of you in it
It’s something she doesn’t see in other art pieces; she doesn’t know the artist, so it’s nothing more than a visual piece for her
But with your pieces, she can dig deeper because she knows deeper information
That’s why she loves your work, and why she loves watching you work
You’re the only artist that makes her feel like she really understands art, and for that she appreciates you
(She still thinks that most critics talk out of their asses though)
On that note, she will fight your critics. She will hunt them down and make them regret ever trying to “understand” your work
“Tch, look at this idiot. He doesn’t even know what he’s talking about! He doesn’t know you!”
“Nya, he’s complimenting my work-”
“But he doesn’t understand it!”
Honestly you think it’s a little funny how she’s unintentionally become one of those critics who argue about a piece’s meaning
Only for you though ;)
Pixal
She has a vast trove of knowledge, but feeling is something she often struggles with
There are few things that actually give her profound emotions
Your art is one of those things
The fact that it came from you, that your hands crafted it…
It stirs something in her, and suddenly the shapes and colors come to life
She asks you about it often, trying to understand
“Why is it… calming?”
“Well, I suppose I used some pretty muted colors, and the imagery is kinda peaceful… I dunno, does it calm you?”
“Yes. It makes me feel calm.”
Obviously you’re proud of her for better recognizing her emotions
And she’s proud of herself!!
Your art helps her understand a part of her that she’s only beginning to explore
And, since it comes directly from you, she credits you with the help :)
She loves to see your finished work, but she also finds herself mesmerized by your creative process
Watching the piece come together, each motion bringing it closer to completion, helps her understand the art itself
She tells herself that it helps her understand her feelings, too
Even though she knows that not every piece is dedicated to her, she always thanks you for showing her your work <3
Tumblr media
Thanks for this request!! And thank you for reading, take care you little rockstars <33

Gojo Satoru was one persistent man, you gotta give him that. When he said your wish is his command, he delivered, so you don't really have any excuses to further refuse him. He took your opinion on the contract seriously, passed it by you without fail and exceeded expectations. You had the choice to stop whatever madness the two of you were cooking up, so you had that as a buffer to see how things go.
It's a very different situation for the both of you. Neither of you had been in bed with the same person twice. You thought that was convenient, spares you from that awkward phase of having to deal with the messy things that come along with commitment. But regardless of how much you and Satoru reiterate on the point of having no strings attached, it was still a form of commitment. You didn't know yet whether you liked the nature of that bond regardless if it was limited to the physical aspect.
But it was convenient. You could admit at least that. If it's just sex, then you wouldn't have to go through the motions of meeting people, getting to know them enough to say they're not psychos and establishing that mutual agreement of never seeing each other again. Satoru was familiar ground for once, and you more or less knew what to expect from him with the security of a written agreement adding to your supposed security.
Now it was a game of waiting to see who is gonna crack first, but that's a problem for future you. It's arrogant to think that there are no consequences to what you are about to involve yourself in because there will be, and you knew neither of you are stupid as to deny that. Accepting that fact is the first step. You'll deal with the mess later.
Or maybe you two were really stupid to be considering it at all. Either way, you didn't really care about the intricacies of it as much as you were annoyed over the fact that Satoru was taking away what you wanted to be a peaceful afternoon. Tolerance sure wasn't his strongest suit as expected of a rich brat who didn't know how it feels to be denied and done have the slightest understanding of the word no.
"You're gonna make me neighbors think I got into a tangle with loan sharks, Gojo," you said the moment you opened the door for him, unable to help it but ogle him. He was clad in gray sweats, a black shirt that fit him so damn well, his platinum hair mussed under a white, Balenciaga baseball cap.
He looked at you from under his cap, those gloriously blue eyes twinkling as he broke into a grin. "Well, you do owe me kisses, sweetheart."
Rolling your eyes, you cocked your head to the side, inviting him in, prompting his next comment: "I see how you're related to Sukuna when you move like that."
You chuckled. "I know how you think he was raised by brigands." You looked over your shoulder with a smirk. "You can opt out of our arrangement now."
Satoru caught up to you, blocking your way to the living room. He bent down to your height, booping you on the nose with his index finger. "Is that a roundabout way of saying you want out? You haven't even signed yet." He waved the file he was holding in front of you. "Ammended and reviewed as you've requested."
You took it, pushing past him and plopping down on the couch. You patted the space next to you as you opened the file, startled when he jumped right onto the spot, also making you bounce on the plush seat.
You momentarily glared at him but he just scooted closer, pointing at the sheaf of papers. "The things you wanted added are highlighted in yellow."
You quietly read the things he indicated, rifling through pages with your eyes. All the while, you could feel Satoru's blue orbs on you, his fingers toying with the tips of your hair. From your periphery, you could see him breaking into a soft smile, so different from his cocky, mischief-filled cheshire grins. Your planned glance turned into a sidelong stare as you whipped your head to actually look at him.
To your dismay, his expression was replaced by surprise, making that smile disappear as if it hadn't even been there in the first place.
"What?"
You shook your head, thinking you probably just imagined it. "Where do I sign?"
You made quick work of that after Satoru indicated where you were to sign, handing him the pen and also watching him do the same.
"And that's a done deal!" he declared, slapping the pen on the coffee table before twisting on his waist to look at you. "Congratulations, I'm exclusively yours."
"Thanks for saying my line for me." You shrugged, feeling the awkwardness of the situation now that your "giggle fits" about the whole contract, as Satoru had termed it, had died down. "So..."
"May I kiss you now?" he interrupted your thoughts, invading your space as he leaned forward, his eyes shifting slowly from your eyes and your lips.
You didn't fail to notice how he emphasized on asking for your permission this time instead of asking whether he was capable of it. "If you're always gonna choose your words like this..." You knocked his cap off his head with one hand while the other glided up from his shoulder to his nape. You pulled him closer, your lips just millimeters from his. "...instead of being such a tactless bastard all the time, I might actually enjoy this more."
He looked at you with hooded eyes. He wasn't one to be distracted from his goals. "So, may I, sweet cheeks?"
"Yes, you mmph –"
Satoru's plush lips were on yours in a split second, pressing gently yet the fact that he was holding back was evident in the way he gripped onto your waist as if he was trying to tether himself to you. He moved his lips against yours in languid motions as if he was testing the waters. You let him although you wondered at that knowing how hungry and all-consuming his kisses can be from experience.
You didn't dislike it, even the way he would pull away in the smallest fractions to nip at your lips before he would give them tiny kitten licks. It was enticing watching him take his time, making you reciprocate in the same small actions but mostly letting him have at it. Satoru's large hands moved from where he was keeping you steady on your arms up to the sides of your neck, his thumb brushing against your jawline.
Just then, he wrenched his eyes from intently paying attention to your lips to meet yours, blinking slowly and absently licking his lips. Satoru looked at you as if he couldn't believe you were in front of him, again breaking into that genuine smile.
"You're so pretty, sweet cheeks," he mumbled, looking absolutely out of it.
You were tempted to snort at his compliment but at the same time, you couldn't, unable to extricate yourself from the moment. This was a new side to him you're seeing for the first time. "That's one kiss today, Gojo."
At that, the spell seemed to have broken as he placed his forehead on your shoulder, chuckling. "You're keeping count?" He blindly fished for something in his pocket before taking your hand in his and pressing something onto your palm.
Before you could look and ask what it was, his lips were on yours again, less experimental this time. He licked at the seam of your mouth, pushing his tongue into it and seeking yours. You gasped when he finally found it, groaning when you responded in kind. Your ears were ringing, your head filled with nothing but the way he tasted in your mouth and the way he was possessively holding you against his taut form while his fingers drew circles on the small of your back.
And just as you were getting used to him and what he was doing to you, he pulled away, your lips parting with a wet sound. You swallowed hard, startled by the sudden loss of contact, and quite frankly, pissed off as well.
He wrapped your fingers on the thing he put in your hand, realizing it was some sort of card. As if he read your mind, he said, "Your key to my private place in the city. I'll text you the address."
With one last peck to your lips which were slightly parted from being flustered, he stood up, putting on his cap. And then he turned to look at you. "Sorry, sweetheart. I have class in half an hour with Yaga." He grinned. "Don't look so disappointed now. I'll make it up to you tomorrow."
You scoffed, also standing up as you regained composure. "Who says I am?" You shook your head, catching sight of the contract on the table. "Take those with you. I don't need Yuki or Iori finding those here."
Satoru laughed, taking your hand and twining his fingers with yours before raising it to his lips and winking at you. "See you tomorrow."

His Little Mermaid- Part 1
Summary: You're a mermaid, and you've wanted to see the human world all your life. Prince Eric has always wanted to explore the uncharted waters. When your two world collide, it seems like it was written in the stars.
Pairing: Prince Eric x Mermaid!Reader
Warnings: Violence (no more come to mind)
Note: This series has a mixture of both the original Little Mermaid movie and the new live action version. All rights reserved to Disney. I do not own any of these characters.
----------------
One day, at the bottom of the sea, there was a little mermaid. Her name was Y/n. She has always wanted to be a part of the human world. But her father forbade it. You see, her mother was unfortunately killed by a human. Multiple, at that. Ever since that fateful day all those years ago, none of the children of King Triton were allowed above shore. Though, this was not what Y/n wanted. She wanted to be above the shore, where the humans were. 
“Has anyone seen Ariel?” Arista, one of Y/n’s sisters asked.
“I haven’t seen her.” Andrina, another sister, said.
Sebastian, a crab, who is King Triton’s most trusted advisor, comes up to the sisters.
“Sebastian, have you seen-”
Sebastian interrupts Andrina, “Now now ladies! Listen up! All of you need to be prepared to sing!”
“Sebastian-”
“Are you guys ready?”
“SEBASTIAN!”
“What?”
“Y/n is not here!” All the sisters looked concerned.
“What- where is she?” Sebastian asked. 
Then, all of the sudden, The King appeared.
“WHERE IS Y/N?” He yelled.
“I do not know sire.”
“Well, GO and look for her! She is always missing the important events!”  
--------------------
“Y/n! Wait up! You know I can’t swim that fast!” Flounder exclaimed.
“Ugh c’mon Flounder! The ship isn’t that far away. Try to swim faster!” Y/n said.
“Oh no. There is no way I am going in there.”
“Suit yourself. You can watch out for sharks!” Y/n teased.
“W-what? S-Sharks?” 
Flounder begins to swim as fast as he can just to stay near Y/n. As they enter the shipwreck, Y/n notices something.
“What is that thing shining?” Y/n swam over to the table where the shining thing was. “This is the smallest trident I have ever seen” Y/n laughs while Flounder looks around alarmed.
“Y/n, do you hear that?”
“Flounder, you need to relax. Stop being a guppy.” But when Y/n turns around, she sees a giant Great White shark staring back at her. “Flounder! Look out!” 
The shark's jaws open up and chomp down, narrowly missing the pair. Y/n and Flounder swim around the shark, going every which way, continuing to narrowly miss its bites. The pair swim through a small hole in the ship, effectively trapping the shark in the doorway. They swim as fast as they can away from the shipwrecks.
“That was close. We need to go up to the surface to see Scuttle and ask him what this thing is.” Y/n holds up the item, trying to examine it.
“Are you sure? Your father would not be happy if he found out you went to the surface AND the shipwrecks.” Flounder stated.
Y/n rolls her eyes, “IF he finds out Flounder. I don’t plan on telling him… do you?” Flounder looks pensive for a bit but ultimately shakes his head no.
“Good. Now let’s go!”
Once they get to the surface, they find scuttle laying out on a rock.
“Scuttle! Look at what I found!” Scuttle jumps awake, looking around frantically. 
“What- what? Oh, it’s just you Y/n. What have you got for me today?”
Y/n pulls out the “mini-trident” and shows it off to Scuttle.
“Ahhh this! This- this is- a dinglehopper! Yeah! Humans use these to uh… to straighten their hair out! Like so…” He begins to wrap his feathers around the dinglehopper and yanks it out of his fair, making his feathers look fluffy. 
“Like this?” Y/n imitates the same actions Scuttle had just done.
“You got it, kiddo!”
Suddenly, Y/n hears shouting below her.
“Y/N? Y/N! There you are, child! You missed the concert!” Sebastian yelled for her.
“Oh no! Father’s going to kill me! Sorry Scuttle, I’ve gotta go! Thank you!” Y/n, Flounder, and Sebastian all swim towards. In the shadowy distance, two eels watch the trio. Ursula, the Evil Sea Witch, watched through them.
“Such a strange child. So unlike her sisters, so foolish, so vulnerable.” Ursula begins to smirk, “Flotsam! Jetsam! Keep an eye on this one. She may prove to be Triton’s undoing…”
------------------
“It’s not just me you disappointed, young lady! What about your sisters? What about Sebastian?” King Triton shouted.
Y/n looks down in shame, “I said I was sorry daddy…”
Flounder decides to speak up, ‘B-but it wasn’t her f-fault! A shark chased us and then this seagull was talking and…” Y/n shuts him up with a dirty glare.
Triton looks at them confused, “Seagull…?” Then he realizes. “You went up to the surface again, didn't you? DIDN’T YOU?”
Y/n flinches from his loud voice, “I did. You never hear me. I’ve been wanting to go up to the human world ever since I was little and I just don’t understand why-”
King Triton interrupts her, “You know WHY! Your mother was killed by those humans. What you did was very dangerous!”
“I was careful-”
“Not another word! I forbid you from going up to the surface ever again. Is that clear?”
Y/n shakes her head and swims away angrily. The King looks towards Sebastian, sighing, “Am I too hard on her?”
Sebastian just shrugs, “Y/n is stubborn, but she is young-”
The King interrupts once again, “She is your responsibility. I want you to watch over her and keep her out of trouble.”
“But your majesty, I serve you-”
“The best way you can serve me is by watching over her for me. Now go!”
Sebastian reluctantly swims away, on his way to go look for Y/n.
-----------------
Y/n sits on a rock, surrounded by all the things she has found over the years. Flounder looks at her sadly. 
“Are you okay Y/n?” She looks up at him, then begins to look around.
She sighs, “Maybe he’s right… Maybe there is something the matter with me. I just don’t see how a world that could make such wonderful things… could be bad.” She sighs again and begins to swim around, closely examining all her collections. “I just wanna be where the people are. I want to be up where they walk, where they run… I wish I could be a part of their world. I would give and risk anything to be up there.”
“Y/N! What is all this? Is this all the human stuff you have collected? If your father ever found out about this-” Sebastian said, baffled.
Flounder interrupted him, “You’re not going to tell him are you?”
“Please Sebastian! He would never understand!” Y/n swims up to him, looking concerned. 
All of the sudden, the grotto begins to light up in colorful lights. The trio looked up and saw a giant oval shaped like thing pass over them.
“What is that?” Y/n begins to swim up towards it. 
“Y/n! No! Come back!” Flounder shouts.
She makes it up to the surface, looking at what is in front of her. There is a ship with fireworks coming out of it. Curious, she swims over to the boat and grabs a rope that was hanging off the ship. She climbs up the rope and situates herself on a smaller boat, next to the bigger one.
“Wow…” she whispered, “Humans.”
-----------------
Authors note: There will be more chapters, I'm not sure how many more, but expect more. Thanks for reading!

Hi!! Can you please tell me what you added to your jaws gifset? Like any filters or anything added at all?
Hi! I didn't add any special filter like colorings, just basic curves, levels, and exposure- but I did do my sharpening differently than normal as the file size I have of the movie isn't bigger than 3GB and it's an older movie. So let's call this
TIPS ON HOW TO SHARPEN YOUR GIF WHEN YOUR ORIGINAL FILE IS A BIT meh.
more under the cut ↓↓
Okay, I'm going to jump right in.
Tumblr media
When I have everything on the timeline, resized, and ready to go, I start off by adding grain. (Ruis) My program is in dutch as I am dutch so I'm not going to explain all the technical stuff, as it will get lost in translation, but I'll just do a quick rundown of what I did with this set. (I use Photoshop2022) I'm not an expert whatsoever, I studied art/media design but that was 4+ years ago and while photoshop was used heavily, gif making is not something that ever came up lol.
Tumblr media
Add the grain. Filter tab -> grain -> grain. 0,6 or 0,7 will do. Tick Gaussian and Monochromatic. Next, sharpening. Filter tab -> sharpen -> smart sharpen. I use this filter twice with two different settings as follows:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are basic sharpening settings a lot of other creators use, so nothing special there. Next, to make it even sharper, I add high pass. You can find this under the filter tab above, at the bottom of the list. Filter tab -> other -> high pass.
Tumblr media
Select it.
Tumblr media
Keep it at 4,0. You can play around with this, but I like to keep it at 4,0. Now it looks a little weird so we have to make some changes. Go to the blending option of the filter you just applied (the high pass) and change it to 'soft light' on 70%.
Tumblr media
Again, you can play around with this. I also use high pass on gifs that are darker. I used it in this set to let our babe Ryan stand a bit more out.
Okay to really show the difference between not adding the grain + sharpening + high pass vs grain + sharpening + high pass, here you go:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I remade this one real quick, as I didn't have the psd anymore but you can see the difference better than the one with the shark illustration gif. I didn't add any other filters, only the grain + sharpening + high pass. When you add the filters and increase the lightning/contrast, it will look even sharper. Sadly I don't have the file anymore, so I can't exactly recreate it, but I just used the filters mentioned; curves, levels, and exposure.
Funny thing is, not all the shots in my copy were grainy. It's just a few that have unruly pixels because the file has been compressed. Like our dear Hooper here, that part of the movie was just a little blegh. And not everyone has the space or the money or other resources to get the deluxe Bluray whatever, so you gotta do what you've gotta do I guess. Of course you want your file to be HD, preferably 1080 or above, but well, shit happens. With the grain added, it just looks better in my opinion. The grain fills in the annoying pixels. You can also add grain after sharpening, but it just looks better, again my opinion, when you add it before sharpening. Plus I found out my gifs looked better on mobile if I added grain before sharpening rather than after. If this is something you worry about, I would add the grain before sharpening.
Do note though, adding grain increases the file size of your gif!
Okay, next up, the other filters I've applied. I added curves. The numbers at Input (Invoer) and Output (Uitvoer) are for the two dots in the middle.
Lower dot: input 15 and output 11
Tumblr media
Higher dot: input 27 and output 25
Tumblr media
Not much, just a little tick. The next filter I used is levels.
Tumblr media
The only thing I changed is the Outputlevels (Uitvoerniveaus) to 2. This is something I do with all my gifs, sometimes a bit more at 4 or 6. I just like how it looks I guess haha. Next I added exposure.
exposure: +0,56. offset: 0,0000. gamma correction: 0,72.
Tumblr media
And we're done with Photoshop! Because my MacBook is really old and kind of past its time, I just save the file as a gif without cutting any frames and open it again in Ezgif. It all runs smoothly until I have to convert a gif multiple times and this just saves me a lot of time. Ezgif is a free website where you can make and edit gifs. I use it to cut the frames, add some contrast if necessary and decrease file size (another tip!) so it's under 10mb and tumblr will accept it.
Gif before adding all the filters:
Tumblr media
Gif after grain + sharpening + high pass + the other filters:
Tumblr media
Gif after running it through Ezgif and adding some contrast (5) to decrease the size of the file:
Tumblr media
I hope this answers your question! If you're really stuck on something, you can always send me a private message! I didn't do much, just the grain and the sharpening and the high pass. I think it adds a little edge to the gifs as well. Thank you for the ask and have a nice day!! 💜 💜 
Edit: the brightening filter is called EXPOSURE, not brightening. I re-checked it but as I thought, I made a little mistake during translating. Here you can find a whole list of filters translated from Dutch to English.

Also one thing i constantly wonder is how it would be if for a short period of time the Unseen Varia are tasked to "assist" Tsuna and his family in getting accostumed to life in italy. Hayato doesnt really need it, he is plenty comfortable with the mafia life but the others? Not so much. Reborn is kinda busy with a lot of stuff regarding actually building up a structure for the family, so they were called to help instruct the newcomers to this life and how to actually survive in italy (Unfortunately Tsunas way of doing things does not work that well in a place where the mafia is 90% of the cities population). Squalo only agreed to it because right now there are little hits ordered and the higher ranks are too expensive to deploy so sending them for lower rank missions would be a waste of respurces.
"Go show this trash how not to fucking bite it in the first week in italy!"
Lor: are we gonna get paid?
Ser: dude. But actually good question. Captain, will we be compensated in any way?
Squalo: standart A rate flat
Ser: FLAT?! (meaning instead of a per hour pay its a set amount of money for the whole mission irrelevant of any additional hours or circumstances)
Lor: Standart A Flat?! You gotta be fucking kidding me, isn't thia a super important mission?!
Leo: *soft worried and anxious whimper at the hightening tension*
Ava: Does that mean each "lesson" will be counted as an A Flat, or our entire stay?
Squ: every lesson
Ser: oh, okay, I'm cool with that.
Lor: can we squeeze any additional pay from them?
Ser: you want to scam Neo Primo for additional pay?!
Lor: hey its a good lesson in and of itself to not be sucha a damn pushover.
Squalo: sure, if you dont get a bullet to the shins, go ahead.
And thus the "Unseen Varia" make their way to the Neo Primo Famiglia. Tsuna is not fucking THRILLED being informed that this is happening about 10 minutes before they arrive, and to his horror they are actually a bit early- and the confusion and shock only gets worse when Yamamoto loudly calls "Ava! :D" only for this young boy to look up, grin widely and rush to Yamamoto yelling "Takeshi!" before jumping into his open arms and giving him a kiss to both cheeks that Yamamoto actually reciprocates.
Yama: it's been so long!
Ava: since the future I believe!
Yama: seriously?!
They both laugh and finally the rest of the Varia that are unknown to the rest of them, close up to the group.
The guy with the long white hair that is NOT Squalo, joins with a grin and as Ava lets go of Yamamoto gives him a bro-y handshake.
"Hey, Takeshi! Whats up man?"
"Nothing much! I didn't know you guys would come!"
The group is not surprised at the fluent japense, after all thats what the Varia officers they met also displayed, but the familiarity is jarring until Yamamoto explains.
"Everyone, this is Ava and this is Sergey, they're Squalos second in command of the rain division."
Ser: sup!
Ava: *bowing* it's a pleasure to meet you all in person. During his time training with my brother, Takeshi told us a lot about all of you.
Yamamoto grins widely to which Tsuna just looks a but curious.
"Brother?"
"Yes!" Ava smiles proud.
"I am Squalos younger brother, nice to meet you!"
There is a round of genuine shock (Squalo has a LITTLE BROTHER?!?!?) and Tsuna mentally notes that they all seem a LOT more tolerable than the Varia they met- in fact Ava doesnt seem at ALL like Squalo- then Tsuna also thinks back on the ringbattles and how Ava must've seen his brother get mauled by a shark.
Ava: mh? Are you worried about the shock of seeing Squ lose and get jumped by a shark?
Tsuna: (he calls him "Squ"...) Um-- yeah.
Ava: it wasn't your fault. You didn't design that battle arena and besides, Dino immideatly called me to confirm, that my brother was okay.
The temperature drops a few degrees and when Ava opens his eyes, they are devoid of any life despite the smile on his face. It just does not reach the eyes.
Ava: otherwise I would've killed everyone in that building and then myself.
Tsuna: (NEVERMIND HE IS JUST AS CRAZY!!)
But Yamamoto breaks the tension by pattimg Avas shoulder and laughing.
"It's good that Dino-san was there!"
Ava immideatly returns to normal
"Yeah!"
Lorenzo then loudly proclaims
"Allright, now that the shmoozing is over, let's get to the point."
He looks directly at Tsuna who jolts.
"We four are the strongest members of the Varia right after the officers. So we were tasked to get you civis into shape." Gokudera clicks his tongue.
"Don't call me a fucking Civi."
Lor: oh? The storm brat has a loose tongue, doesn't he? And you wanna stop me HOW exactly? Throw some firework at me?
Dera: Those fireworks almost killed your damn psycho prince!
Lor: and yet you still lost against said psycho prince
Dera: at least I was a representative for the Vongola in that fight and not some benchwarmer of a second class institution like the Varia!
Ser: Leo, get him!
Ava sighs as Leo quickly grabs hold of Lorenzo and pulls him back.
"Let go of me, Leo, I'm gonna cut this brat limb from fucking limb!"
On the other side Yamamoto has a tight grip on Gokudera. Despite being older and more mature, he still has his temper.
"What Lorenzo wanted to say-" Ava then continues "is that we are here to train you in the survival arts of the mafia life. The city you chose to reside in from now on is to 90% inhabitet by mafiosi of several generations in. They are very well adapt in conning and scheming for their own benefit. Even with the Vongola backing you, they will do whatever they can to bring you down and seize power from you, since they just see you as a civi newcomer. If you had taken mantle as the Tenth of the Vongola Famiglia they would've still shown respect out of fear of angering the entire clan, however now that you have basically opened a new branch, at least as far as the unassociated know, they will try to outsmart you to get a foothold in the power structure. We from the Varia are the ones with adequat experience and knowledge to teach you how to navigate such an environment."
Around half through Avas explanation Reborn joined them and just confirms with a nod.
Lor: that being said, we take half at the beginning of the day and half at the end of it.
Tsuna: half...?
Lor: this isn't some kind of favor we do for a friend, this is a JOB, so as you hired us, you'll have to pay us per hour rates.
Sergey seems a bit nerveous, eyes flicking to Reborn, since he knows Lorenzo is just trying to get MORE money, as all payments usually go through the Varia financial infrostructure but since this IS a good learning opportunity, Reborn turns to Tsuna after a moment of contemplation and just says
"You heared the man. Pay up."
And thus begins unofficially the Unseen Varias mission to instruct the Neo Vongola Primo family in mafia daily life 101.
I really love this little scenario! I don't really have anything to add to it because it's just absolutely lovely the way it is! However, I do want to say again that I would definitely read full novels on these characters! I especially want to say that I love and admire your dialoguing skills. I could really hear each of the character's different voices in my head. Ava has a slighter lighter voice in my head than Squalo, but still has that growling, gruff sound to it that gets worse when he gets upset and he and his brother share some of the same facial expressions and body language when I picture it out in my head. Lor, in my head, has the deeper voice with a slight drawl on some words and his posture and body language is both kind of predatory but also relaxed at the same time as I play the scene out, just because I can hear and picture it so well just reading it all, so compliments to your skills there!!

Can you do a prompt for domestic cleon fluff, bonus points if they have children
Well, you said kids and uhhh, how about three of them?
Media: Resident Evil
Ship: Claire/Leon
Rating: General; Tags: Children, domestic fluff, background platonic or romantic Valenfield
-----------------
“Mom? Why does auntie Jill have a dog we can’t play with?” Claire looks down at her son’s serious face, a scrunched little V in between his faint red-brown eyebrows.
“Well,” she says, leaning back on the counter and wiping her hands on a dishtowel, “she’s a service dog. She’s working right now.”
“Her dog has a job?” The V gets deeper and Claire has to smile at his incredulous tone. Ruffling his hair she laughs, Leon, across from her leaning on the stove chuckles.
“Yeah. She’s got a job. She makes sure Jill feels okay, watches out for her.”
“So not like Grover.” he says slowly, “All Grover does is sleep. And poop.”
“Yup. Just like your sister.” Leon says, dodging the towel Claire snaps his way with a smile before scooping up Scott and laughing with him. 
Scott’s childish voice rings through the hallway as Leon carries him away before Claire can hear him shouting in the backyard. Their oldest, Shirley yells back, sounding like she’s starting up a game of tag. Claire smiles to herself, reaching up to put the last of the morning dishes away.
“I don’t know why you’re doing that.” Leon says behind her fondly, resting his hands on her hips and pulling her back into him. “We’re just going to have to pull them all out again once your brother stops hogging the grill.” 
“Like I’m letting any of my flatware out on that concrete, besides, you let him take over.” Leon kisses along her neck and Claire tilts her head to the side with a quiet sigh. Who’d’ve thought, all those years ago, that they'd end up here? Three kids, a big yard, too idyllic to be real but it is. Chris’ deep laugh sounds from outside and Claire can only guess that it’s from some quiet joke Jill told him, or maybe the kids being goofy. 
“Eugh. ‘Let’ is a strong word, he would have been annoying till I let him, it was strategic.” 
“Ah.” Claire turns in his arms and smiles into the kiss he gives her. “Strategic. Sure, sure. Totally believe that, and not that maybe you didn’t want to be in charge of food? Huh? Mr. I Burn Most Things Kenedy?”
“Hm. I’ll let that one slide.” On the counter the baby monitor squawks to life, “Sorry, gotta go, my baby’s calling.”
“I always knew I was the side piece!” Claire calls and Leon claps his hand to his heart as if shot and stumbles dramatically out the doorway. 
Once outside the afternoon passes in a haze of dreamy happiness. Leon brings the baby downstairs and shoots Claire a faux-annoyed look when immediately Chris scoops up his newest niece. Claire pokes him in the side once and laughs as he jumps, watching with an unconscious smile as Chris sits carefully next to Jill and the two of them make the baby laugh with funny faces.
“Cece, right?” Jill asks.
“Yeah, well, Celia, but we call her Cece.”
“She’s beautiful.”
-
Just as Cece is finally asleep after her last bottle, from down the hall comes a loud wail. In her crib, the sound makes Cece start and her cries join in with an ear piercing harmony. 
“I’ve got him, you good here?” Leon nods, already focused on soothing the startled infant, pulling her into his arms.
Claire cracks the door to her son’s bedroom open wider, adding illumination to the shark night-light and glow in the dark stars scattered across the ceiling, “Hey baby, what’s happening?” 
Behind her she can hear a door open quietly and she turns, nodding to Shirley, “He’s okay, I’ve got him, thanks Love.” Shirley sleepily nods and closes her door again.
Scott is sitting up in his bed, no longer sobbing but hiccuping with tears stains running tracks down his cheeks. When Claire lays down beside him he snuggles into her arms immediately, leaving a snotty-wet smear stain right in the center of her shirt, but she can’t say she minds. “Want to tell me about it?”
“It was-” He hiccups again and she rubs his back soothingly, “Scary, big dogs- and I couldn’t find you!”
“I’m right here, I’ll always be here.” 
His hands are fisted into her shirt, “But what if I can’t find you?” 
“You know how it goes, just like in the grocery store. I’ll find you, no matter what. No matter what.” 
He still looks troubled but lets himself be soothed, the exhaustion of the day settling in again.
“You can sleep with us tonight if you want.”
“Shirley says five is too old to sleep in your bed.”
“Well. I’ll tell you a secret,” Scott leans in with his big serious eyes, dying to know, “Shirley would still get nightmares when she was seven.” 
Scott giggles with her, “Okay.” 
“Okay.” Claire nods, picking him up despite how heavy he’s getting. By the time she’s changed into her pajamas he’s already asleep right in the middle of their bed. Claire scoots him over enough to give herself room and he’s dead to the world, sleeping soundly while she reads and waits for Leon. When Leon finally enters she holds a finger up to her mouth, pointing at their son. Leon only lifts his eyebrows, moving one of Scott’s arms off his pillow as he slides in.
“What are you smiling about?” He asks quietly.
“Just thinking. We’ve been through quite a bit to get here. Reminding myself to be grateful, I guess.” She whispers to him over Scott’s head.
“We’re pretty lucky, for sure.” He reaches for her cheek and she turns her head to kiss his palm. “Really lucky.”
-----
Uh, yeah. Hi. Had no idea how to start with this prompt but ended up having a lot of fun with it? Hope this was something close!
Shirley: 8
Scott: 5
Celia: 5 months

For the character meme I'd love to know your thoughts on Shark!
SHARRRK,,,,, OK LAST ONE OF THESE FOR REAL i do. adore shark and would love to talk about him but that'll be the last of this meme for now.....thank u all
again preface: im only half way through Zexal im up to like episode 83 or so <3 Shark Watch is still developing.
favorite thing about them: i absolutely Adore what is going on with shark's little character arc, especially in Zexal I...it is so so cool seeing a yugioh rival who's just a surly mean 14 year old (who outside of his sister probably did not have many friends growing up) become more open to friendship and kindness because of yuma's exuberant relentless warmth so now hes just like "if you mess with my friends i will fucking kill you >:(" i love it SO SO MUCH. I LOVE THAT HES STILL A LITTLE BIT OF A JACKASS BECAUSE YOU CAN TELL HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO NAVIGATE FRIENDSHIP VERY WELL hes just such a kid!! i love him
least favorite thing about them: i dont know if i have one for him yet!! maybe after i finish the series i'll have more quibbles...
favorite line: there was this line in an ep i watched recently where yuma's dueling mizar/mizael and shark's there and he's like "i'd love to jump in and sink my teeth into this guy for yuma"...i love ALL his lines like that, where he repeatedly expresses concern or care for yuma...it's like. Uh huh, is that right, tough guy? Does somebody care about his friends, Mr. Cool?? Huh? Huh????
brOTP: HIM AND YUMA FOR REAL. already one of my favorite ygo friendships their dynamic is SO sweet AND SO SO FUNNY. the most annoying kid in the world also has the world's biggest heart and he's your best friend now. Shark literally will beat the shit out of 10+ people to defend him. They're the best!! Also really wanna see more of his dynamic with Rio....we all know I love them yugioh siblings....
OTP: dont really know if i have one. yuma/shark as a ship is cute but, again, i dont particular care too much about shipping middle schoolers i have better things to do.
nOTP: if you ship him with his sister i will rip you in half like a paper towel.
random headcanon: This kid is such a Freshly Out Nonbinary Kid of all time to me. The he/they ever. Dubverse exclusive but I hc his rich ass parents were like "ok but you need a Real name for polite company you Cannot JUST be Shark" and thats how 'Reginald' came about. Also you know his special interest is sharks and sea predators but thats barely a headcanon I think. he just came like that.
unpopular opinion: i dont even know what the unpopular shark opinions are!!! again maybe once i finish the series (i know he has. Some Plot Shit coming) i will have something more concrete.
song i associate with them: gotta be Shark Serenade by Vermillion Lies....it's just soooo "im unknowable im scary im MEAN dont come CLOSE TO ME" middle schooler angst AND it's shark flavored!!! "I'll try to spare you the pain of my jaws/But it's just in my nature to rip and to shred" like ok buddy youre 14 it'll be ok!!!
favorite picture of them: this one where he's so embarrassed about his little sister eating lunch with yuma & co (you might could say...shark's, "friends" 😏) that he sits on the roof 20 yards away from everyone.

A Pearl Worth Ten Million
Mod Blue: It's taken me a while to blog about this chapter, but I do intend to blog about it, because this is an Important Chapter. Upon re-reading it, it may have become my third favorite chapter in the book (first is "The Coral Realm," second is... you'll see).
-“Rifles! What for? Don’t your mountaineers attack bears dagger in hand? And isn’t steel surer than lead? Here’s a sturdy blade. Slip it under your belt and let’s be off.”
Omg, I can just picture Aronnax's eyes going wide, and he starts to say something like "wait, are you sure about this?", but then the helmet goes over his head and everyone sets off and he's resigned to let go of his fears and follow them. I'd say "someone should draw this," but the more I say that, the more I think that someone should be me.
-I had no idea that crabs that eat coconuts were a thing, but I am very happy to now know that they ARE a thing.
-I wonder how that oyster feels about Nemo periodically coming by to open it up and check on his pearl. Also, how would Nemo determine when it's "done," so to speak? It would make a fine addition to his collection even at its current size. I feel like he's just showing off by this point.
-"...soon we reentered Our Element. I think I’ve now earned the right to dub it that." Yeah, yeah, Pierre, don't get a big head about it. (This is giving me some of the same vibes as the last line of the book, but I can't talk about that because SPOILERS...)
-Captain Nemo fighting the shark= YESSSSSS! Mentally I'm jumping up and down and squealing like a teenager whose crush has just asked them out. (And how lovingly Aronnax describes this incident, too... "I can see Captain Nemo’s bearing to this day..." He IS the teenager and Nemo is his crush.)
-Also, gotta hand it to Ned here for helping out- I hope he'll calm down now that he's finally managed to kill something.
-"How startled he must have felt, how frightened even, at seeing four huge, copper craniums leaning over him!" This is another image that MUST be drawn, as I can see it so clearly in my head.
-Aaaaaand there's the Important Moment from this chapter- Captain Nemo giving the diver his pearls. I wonder if he was prepared to run into someone and that's why he brought them along? Anyway, this shows that underneath it all... Nemo DOES still care about humanity, to an extent. He DOES have a heart and a conscience. (Back when I posted that earlier meta about Nemo, I was planning on writing an addendum discussing this moment, but I didn't want to mention it until the emails caught up to it, and now I don't remember what exactly I wanted to say. Anyway care to expound upon this moment and what it means for Nemo's character?)
-One final spoilery note (if you don't know Nemo's canonical backstory and want to be surprised, don't keep reading):
So, the last line of the chapter has a LOT of significance.
“That Indian, professor, lives in the land of the oppressed, and I am to this day, and will be until my last breath, a native of that same land!”
When I first read this line, having read The Mysterious Island which explains Nemo's backstory, I thought... did the translator intentionally implicitly reference Nemo's backstory with this line? Because anyone who's read that book can tell you that Nemo is, in fact, Indian. And as I recalled the story, Verne hadn't written Twenty Thousand Leagues with this backstory in mind. As I recalled it, Nemo had originally been written as Polish, but at the urging of his editor, he obscured all direct references to his background, and later wrote him as Indian in The Mysterious Island since a Polish character fighting against Russian oppression may have caused political controversy, apparently. This whole time I've been re-reading this book, I've been under the impression that Verne had not, at this point, determined Nemo's official background. But I was wrong- it looks like Nemo was only written as Polish in early drafts of the book, and despite keeping his background vague, he may have already settled on depicting Nemo as Indian by the time the book was published.
Now that I've read this chapter, I now see that Verne likely already had Nemo's Indian background in mind. This is how he wrote the line in French:
« Cet Indien, monsieur le professeur, c'est un habitant du pays des opprimés, et je suis encore, et, jusqu'à mon dernier souffle, je serai de ce pays-là ! »
And going off my VERY rudimentary French knowledge, it means something close to how Walter translated it:
"This Indian, professor, is an inhabitant of an oppressed country, and I am still, and, until my last breath, will be from that country!"
If anything, this almost makes it MORE explicit, with Nemo specifically saying he's from the same country. However... even though it appears Verne was dropping a huge hint with this line... This should not be taken as THE background reveal. That only occurs in The Mysterious Island. This line does not keep Aronnax from wondering about Nemo's background. It does not illuminate anything for him, except confirming that he has empathy for citizens of oppressed nations. There's no moment where he puts two and two together. Up until the end of the book, Nemo is still somewhat of a cipher, and while readers can probably figure it out, what's important is that Aronnax doesn't, and therefore it should not be assumed that he does.

Dance of the White Tiger - A Snow Flurry at Dawn 2
Tumblr media
Rinne: Well then, let’s head out.
Tumblr media
Tsukasa: (in a quiet voice) Aah!? What should we do, the door—
Koga: …It closed, huh. It’s all that Akehoshi idiot’s fault! What’re you gonna do about it, huh?
Subaru: Oh, the back of the truck is rattling and shaking. It's like the truck just started running.
Koga: Don’t be so carefree ‘bout this shit~!
…Ugyah!
Which one of you just touched my side? Was it Akehoshi?
Tsukasa: I’m sorry, it was me. It’s dark and I cannot see anything…Uwaah!?
Sorry for the repetition, I think I only pushed you over because of the vibrations…
Koga: Don’t worry ‘bout that. I just can’t move worth shit, you know?
Subaru: Gami-san, you okay? You need me to lend a hand?
Koga: Nah, stay where you are. It's dangerous to move in the dark.
Subaru: Okay. Gami-san’s so composed, so cool…☆
Tsukasa: (...It really is impressive how my seniors have composed themselves. I must learn from their example.)
(First, let's assess the situation…Hm. If it was locked from the outside, it cannot be opened from the inside.)
(Even if you can open it, it is dangerous to jump off a running truck.)
(...I see. I will call for help with my smartphone—)
(No, that’s troublesome. Who and how would I have to explain this to?)
(I wonder if they would even get the message if I say, "I got into a truck that was parked near the Seisou Hall and I need your help.")
(I only saw the luggage compartment, so I don't know the type of car or other features. Contacting them will only cause confusion.)
(No matter what I do, I’m stunned…)
(...No, it does not matter. Three idols missing at once is certainly an unprecedented pinch.)
(It's a small price to pay if only I  have to suffer the shame. For the sake of my seniors, let me be humiliated.)
Subaru: Woah, there’s a light. …I see, you can just use your phone! Cathy’s a genius ♪
Set your phone to light mode and…Let’s check what’s in the box ☆
Tsukasa: Heh. After all this, you’re still concerned with what’s inside the luggage?
Subaru: That's right, that's why I snuck into the back of the truck. I gotta fulfill my purpose.
Come on, come on, Gami-san and Cathy, help me, too ☆
Koga: That guy really goes to the beat of his own drum, seriously…Well, sittin’ tight won’t change anythin’ so I’ll check it out, too.
Hm…It’s rough to the touch? These are—
Carrots, cabbage, corn, potatoes…These are all veggies, aren’t they?
Subaru: There’s lots of stuffed animals over here. Like a turtle, a shark.
Look, look. This seal looks like Ukkie…☆
Koga: Where, where…Haha, the dumb mug looks just like him!
This box is…Haahn? There’s weird carved wooden dolls all over the place. It's like I’m in a souvenir shop in the countryside.
Subaru: Are they all different? I'm starting to enjoy opening them ☆
Hey, hey, Cathy, what’re those like?
Tsukasa: I’m not sure. The packing in this is…Foodstuffs, I assume?
…Hiih!?
Koga: Hey, which one of ya’ screamed just now?
Subaru: It wasn’t me. Cathy, what’s up?
Tsukasa: This thick, black bag has something cold and squishy in it…!
Subaru: Squishy? Huh, it really does. Ahaha, that’s co~ol ♪
Tsukasa: How can you poke while laughing so innocently… Akehoshi-senpai, are you not bothered by it?
Subaru: Yeah, ‘cause it's in the bag. You should touch it too, Cathy ☆
Tsukasa: No, I…Um, I will go examine this other box!
Subaru: This is…A pistol? Huh, a real one?
Koga: Hah? Hey, lemme see.
Tsukasa: Here. Do you have an eye for discerning the authenticity of firearms, Oogami-senpai?
Koga: ‘Course I don’t. …But this is probably a fake. It’s kinda got a cheap design.
Tsukasa: I-I see. Thank goodness…No, this is not the time to be relieved, is it?
Why is Rinne Amagi-senpai carrying such a thing?
Koga: I dunno, don’t ask me.
Subaru: I'm curious about the powder in this bag… Gami-san, could you take a sniff?
Koga: Sniff sniff… Maybe it's because it's sealed airtight, but I can't smell shit.
Subaru: I see. If Gami-san can’t tell by the smell then~
Tsukasa: Oogami-senpai can distinguish things by their smells? He’s like a dog ♪
Koga: Who's a dog, you bastard! I'm a wolf…!
Tsukasa: I-I’m sorry. Just now you looked like a narcotics dog.
Koga: A drug dog… Drugs…
Hey, hey. This Amagi guy must be running a shady business on the side, don’tcha think?
Tsukasa: There’s no way, could it be? If it was around summer then…Akehoshi-senpai, what do you think?
Subaru: I dunno. But, I wonder if someone in a sketchy business would carry things like vegetables and stuffed animals.
Even if it's to hide the tools of the trade, there seems to be too many of them, don't you think?
Tsukasa: Yes, that’s right! Even more, if he were really a bad person, then as a member of Crazy:B, he wouldn’t be able to remain silent about it.
…Sneeze. I’m sorry, sneeze…
Subaru: It's cold in the back of the truck, isn't it? Gami-san, Cathy, let's stick together to keep our bodies warm!
Koga: Why me too…
Subaru: Because it's warmer like this. You don't want to catch a cold or something, do you? Come on, here-here ☆
Koga: Tch, guess I can’t help it…
How far’s this truck gonna go anyways? It’s a New Year’s misfortune already, huh…

Sailing Part 36
[Y/N]’s close enough that Ziva can see the fear in her eyes as she stares at the fin. She’s sure her eyes look like her’s right now – small dark pinpoints.
Ziva grabs Tim by his life jacket, pulling him so close – practically touching noses. Her broken leg; pulsing with pain; but she doesn’t care. ‘Okay, here’s what we’re going to do,’ she says. ‘You’re going to take your father and get behind me.’
Ziva stops talking for a second. Tears are pouring down Tim’s chubby little cheeks.
‘Mom…’ is all he can say. ‘Dad…’
‘Shhh, Tim – it’s going to be okay,’ she whispers. ‘You have to listen to me now – this is very important.’ She takes a deep breath, ‘If and when that shark attacks me; you don’t try to help at all. Do you understand?’
She knows he doesn’t as he stares at her blankly. ‘Listen to me; Tim. You don’t try to help me. You swim away to your brother and sisters as fast as you can.’
‘What about Dad?’ Tim asks; his voice a tremor. I was afraid of that question Ziva thought. ‘You leave him here with me,’ Ziva answers. ‘Tim please - just focus on swimming away as fast as you can. Now tell me you understand.’
She knows he doesn’t want to answer that either. ‘TELL ME!’ Ziva finally has to yell. She can’t help it; she loves her adopted family too much. She can’t let Tim and her family die with her – no way. 
Tim finally nods and Ziva helps him grab Gibbs so they both can get behind her. Tim’s too scared to even cry anymore. He falls silent. They all do – the only thing they can hear is the slap of the water around them.
Slish-slosh, ripple-ripple Slish-slosh, ripple-ripple
They stare at the large fin slicing towards Ziva and Gibbs. Ziva takes the deepest breath of her life. She’s hoping against hope it won’t be their last moments together.
[Y/N]’s gaze glanced all around the water. She could see her brothers Tim, Tony and her best friend Abby bobbing away in the water. She looked at the damn shark that was circling Ziva and her father. Why won’t it just go away? Doesn’t it realise how defenceless they are? Of course it fucking does, it’s a goddamn predator. There had to be something she could do, though.
That’s when it hit her quite literally. She could use The Hail Mary Box.
She didn’t even realise that she’d let go of the thing until a big swell up sent it smacking straight against her head. A small gash dripping with blood started to appear and would bruise eventually.
What mattered was the current situation they were all in – was there something in the red box that could help? – With a frenzied burst of get-up-and-go, [Y/N] grabbed the latch snapping it open. She flipped back the lid. It shrilled as it opened and she quickly tried to push herself up from the water to look inside.
It only half-worked – she’d caught some glimpses – a first-aid kit, some blankets, an inflatable raft – even tilting the box to her eye-level, she couldn’t see what was buried underneath.
Screw it! Just dump all of it out! She thought. What if some of the stuff didn’t float? What if the one thing that they could use sank to the bottom before she could grab it?
[Y/N] had no idea what that might be – the thought was enough to make her try to reach down deep into the box instead. C’mon! There’s gotta be something she thought as her hand frantically moved from one item to another. Was that a bottle of water or a flashlight?
She glanced over her shoulder as she continued her search. The shark was no more than a couple a hundred yards from Ziva, Abby, her brothers and her father. Probably less than that! She thought as her hand kept blindly jumping from one item to another. Suddenly a depressing thud! Her fingertips had hit the bottom of the box.
Her eyes welled up, tears started to drip down her face; she felt something tucked tight against the back corner. It was so cold and was made of metal. It was a gun! She thought and was pretty sure of it. The smooth curve of the trigger really gave it away.
She yanked it as hard as she could. It came out – only it looked like no gun she’d ever seen before – there were large casings attached behind the grip. Were those bullets? No! She realised. They were flares. It was a flare gun.
She turned back towards the shark. Steady even though her hand was shaking badly as the rest of her. With her left hand; she tried to steady herself against the Hail Mary Box. The only gun she’d even pulled the trigger of was the one she uses as an NCIS Agent.
She started yelling at the top of her voice; splashing the water. Sure enough - the shark turned towards her. Was that really such a good idea? She thought! Just aim it and shoot…Just aim and shoot…
[Y/N] lined the sight up against the shark. She counted back from three. Two…One…
She pressed the trigger. The flare afire – in the middle of a hail of smoke and sparks so thick she couldn’t even see a thing. She couldn’t help it as the gun dropped from her hand; sinking – the sparks had burnt her knuckles.
Had the gun gone wrong? How old were those flares? She thought.  Her hand was basically on fire. ‘SON OF A BITCH!’ she yelled; her voice the only sound she heard until she heard cheering. Tim, Tony, Ziva and Abby screamed for joy. As the smoke finally cleared, [Y/N] saw why.
The flare gun had worked – at least well enough. The shark had officially turned away. She’d scared the dumb beast.

Werewolf By Night III
Werewolf By Night #2-4 written by Gerry Conway while WBN #5 written by Len Wein
WBN #2-5 pencilled by Mike Ploog (he also inked #5)
WBN #2-3 inked by Frank Monte WBN #4 inked by Frank Bolle
Here we are again to talk about 4 issues of Werewolf By Night! Specifically we’re gonna be talking about WBN #2-5! I didn’t think I’d love this book as much as I do but I’m glad to say I was wrong! Jack Russell is such a great character to follow. So far, he’s been an anti-hero unlike some of the other “monsters” we’ve followed. I like that he continues to struggle with the wolf part of him but as of yet, he’s managed to only hurt those who would harm him. I can’t get over how engaging this book is for me. It continues to be fantastically drawn by Mike Ploog (who suits the horror genre so well) and Gerry Conway knows how to get you in the head of a werewolf. Some of my favorite moments from these 4 issues are ones of just Jack running through the city or forest as a werewolf where it’s mostly inner monologue. Maybe I’m giving Jack too much credit but it also seems like he’s gaining a little bit more control of his wolf side or they are becoming closer to each other. Idk maybe I’m reading too much into this stuff.
Tumblr media
Issue two opens with the cops chasing Werewolf through the city. I gotta say this was my favorite opening out of these four issues. Conway’s writing just excels when we’re following Jack in wolf form and it’s so engaging here. Jack leaps from rooftops and buildings to the edge of LA but hits water. A helicopter goes overhead so he has no choice but to jump in when a net falls from the copter. He fights a shark and kills it which is pretty hardcore.
Tumblr media
Look at that art by Ploog. I love it. It’s one of my favorite panels from this issue. Anyways, Jack is found by two beach goers and they take him home. We find out that Jack is staying with Buck Cowan and Jack has a girlfriend named Terri. They discuss the Darkhold and Buck mentions a priest named Father Joquez and suggests that he could translate the Latin faster. Joquez takes the book to translate it for them. Jack and Buck have a conversation where it seems like Cowan is onto Jack about something going on related to the full moon. It’s a great moment. He is supposed to be a journalist so he should be able to figure it out if he’s smart. I like Buck and I hope there isn’t something more sinister to him. We then meet a man named Cephalos and his associate, Louis. He immediately seems creepy and even mentions owning a red helicopter and that he saw Jack out there. Jack goes with them and as soon as he gets in the car, they knock him out with gas. Jack wakes up in a giant test tube. It turns out that old Cephalos used to be a little person but did experiments and grew his body much larger but now he needs a lot of energy to function so he plans on using Jack’s werewolf form as energy. I will say this whole backstory and energy generating stuff doesn’t make a lot of sense and this is my least favorite villain out of these 4 issues. Jack transforms and breaks out of the glass and fights Louis which I didn’t mention that he’s also a little person. Jack gets his ass kicked by Louis which again, I’ve talked about this before, it takes me out when a regular person can go toe-to-toe with a werewolf. Jack gets the upper hand but due to Cephalos and his energy power-up beats up Jack and runs into his helicopter. This does have a pretty good ending when Jack, still in his werewolf form leaps onto the copter and causes it to crash above the Hollywood sign. Overall, I liked this issue but the villain stuff didn’t work for me. I still liked the interpersonal moments with Jack and his various friends and also it had a killer opening couple pages. Plus, Mike Ploog’s art is awesome.
Tumblr media
Issue three opens with Father Joquez translating the Darkhold when smoke starts to come off of the book. He frantically calls Jack but screams out and then the line goes dead. Jack takes Buck’s car and heads to the monastery but on the way there transforms into the wolf and has no choice but to let the car crash off the side of a mountainous road. He makes it to the monastery and finds that a 12th century monk named Aelfric is possessing the body of Father Joquez and he has released a Grey Death upon the land. We find out that he originally came into possession of the scrolls that would come to make the Darkhold. He was burned for turning a knight into a skeleton.
Tumblr media
The burning of Aelfric at the stake (pictured above) is actually pretty brutal cause it shows his face start to turn into cheese pizza. This comic seems to get away with more violence each passing issue but that might just be in my head.
Tumblr media
Pictured above is what the Grey Death does to you. Mike Ploog’s art is perfect for horror. He is so good at drawing brutal, unsettling horrific stuff. Aelfric pins Jack to the wall with a mystic spell as his sister comes to find him and the mad monk brings her inside as well. But at the sight of his sister in trouble, Jack is able to break the mystical spell and has to fight a Minotaur named Dragonus. It’s a cool fight. Minotaurs are my favorite mythological creature so you include a Bull-man and you’ve got me. Jack ends up leaping over the bull and it rams into Aelfric and pierces him with a horn killing him. Because the mad monk dies we see Dragonus fade away. This was another fun horror issue and I didn’t mind the ending to the fight cause Jack can’t really go toe-to-toe with a powerful sorcerer. That would end badly for him. I really love that Jack didn’t have to fight a normal human for once that he got to fight a creature that is believable enough to be able to tussle with a werewolf. I kinda wish the fight went longer.
Tumblr media
Issue 4 is the best out of the bunch. Jack is hunted by a southern version of Kraven. What can I say except for, I thought I’d hate this issue cause Joshua Kane is just a man and he’s got an exaggerated annoying accent but damn it grew on me. Most of this issue is a prolonged cat-and-mouse game between Jack and Joshua but it’s paced really well and by the end of it, I couldn’t get enough. The one negative is the ending. It was lame. I wanted to see Jack kill Kane but instead he’s killed by an animatronic bear or was it a real bear? Idk it was a weird ending. I get that it was because Kane apparently did all the hunting cause he didn’t feel fear and he wanted to inflict fear on his victims. Also, I didn’t mind that Kane could go toe-to-toe with Jack cause he was a skilled hunter who had killed all kinds of animals and was skilled in different kinds of weapons. This was a fun read.
Tumblr media
Issue 5 is another strong chapter in the Werewolf By Night saga. Joshua had a brother, Luther Kane and he gives Jack a task to murder a billionaire who ruined his life and in exchange he’ll cure Lissa before she becomes a werewolf. I like the twist that Jack’s target is a senile old gentle man so he can’t go through with it. I was expecting this dude to be a bad guy so when he did turn out to be nice, I was happy to see Jack spare him. He literally had no idea what was happening. Plus I think it would’ve changed my mind on Jack as a character if he did go through with it. Instead Jack goes back and breaks a guy’s back on a desk and Luther gets accidentally impaled by a thrown knife.
Tumblr media
I gotta say this had lots of action and the twist pushed it up for me. Mike Ploog’s art is something else and I love the way he draws the werewolf. The amount of detail he can draw on the face of a hairy wolf man just looks fantastic. He was born to do horror comics and he’s quickly becoming an artist I look forward to seeing what he does next. Jack also shows in this issue that he can drive a motorcycle better than Johnny Blaze. Sorry I had to. Werewolf By Night continues to be a highlight of my comic reading list. I look forward to every new (new to me) issue of this book. Next up Tomb of Dracula!

Boyfriend’s Best Friend - Bakugou Katsuki
Bakugou x f!reader (ft. Kirishima)
Warnings: CRACK, Fluff, Cursing, Frisky moments
Summary: This was not how Bakugou wanted to spend his weekend. Trapped inside his best friend’s body?! Hell no. What makes it worse is that before he can tell you, you’ve already smothered Kirishima (who is in Katsuki’s body) with more than enough attention. Attention that belongs to the angry Pomeranian. And what does Kirishima think about all of this? Fuck nitroglycerin and boners.
BAKUGOU’S MASTERLIST
A/N: This shit is gonna get real confusing so KEEP UP and STAY FOCUSED
“Shit.”
After fighting off that petty thief on their way back to school, the two best friends took a look at each other after feeling a throb in their heads. But something wasn’t right. Bakugou was looking at..Bakugou and Kirishima was looking at...Kirishima???
“WHAT IS HAPPENING?!!” The red blonde headed boy asked. Kirishima made a face at his now very deep and gruff voice. He looked down and noticed his tan skin was the slightest bit paler and his clothes had changed. He turned his gaze towards the position where is best friend should be but only saw..well, himself.
“Argh, shut the hell up Shitty Hair. My head is pounding.” Bakugou said while holding onto his now red hair. He looked towards his friend to see a frantic look on his face. “Quit making me look like a bitch, Kirishima.”
“I can’t help it!! Not after what just happened!!” Kirishima said. Bakugou rolled his eyes and huffed before walking over to his friend and dragging him to a reflective window.
“We switched bodies you idiot. That damn thief must’ve hit us while we were distracted.” Bakugou took a look at his new body and cringed. Not that he thought Kirishima was ugly or anything, but he wanted to be in his own body. It just felt wrong having someone else’s dick.
“Well then we should get back to the dorms and find Mr. Aizawa. Maybe he can help.” Bakugou agreed and the boys started their journey back to the dormitory. As they walked, they took notice of a few things.
“Ugh. All these damn extras are staring at my hair.”
“My palms feel so sweaty.”
“Fuck! I keep biting my inner cheek. Stupid shark teeth.”
“Why the hell am I getting a random ass print?!”
“Nitroglycerin works like viagra Shitty Hair! Just fucking get used to it and learn how to control it!”
“I have your hair man! Does that mean you have shitty hair?”
“SHUT THE HELL UP!!”
“.....Is that..*sniff sniff*...caramel?”
“I SAID SHUT UP!”
“You’ll be back to normal in 2 weeks.” Aizawa bluntly said.
“2 WEEKS?!?” The boys screamed.
“Wha- HOW DO YOU KNOW?!” Bakugou screamed, trying to jump onto Aizawa with Kirishima holding him back. To anyone else, it would look like Bakugou holding Kirishima back. Oh how the tables have kinda turned.
“I know because officers have been trying to catch this thief for some time now. Even I’ve run into him on some occasions. His quirk is is called ‘Swapped.’ He takes your soul and spirit and places it in a different form...obviously. It doesn’t do much harm but it lasts for some time. Don’t worry though, you’ll be back to normal eventually.” Their teacher explained. “‘Till then, just tough it out for the next 2 weeks. Dismissed.”
The boys groaned and walked back to the common room floor. They walked in to find a few other classmates who thankfully didn’t seem too suspicious of anything. The boys went their separate ways, going to their own dorms to soothe their still aching heads.
Kirishima was the first to come out of his room. After contemplating whether he should take a shower or not, he chose the latter. He could survive the rest of the day without one, he’ll just worry about bathing later. Besides, he doesn’t mind smelling like a sweet treat for the next few hours and you know…not having to see and wash his best friend’s body and dick.
He walked down into the kitchen to find it empty. He was glad he wouldn’t have to explain his situation to anyone. If anyone saw Bakugou acting like the sweet bean that Kirishima is then I’m pretty sure a lot of people would have questions.
Looking around, he saw a batch of brownies left on a tray. He couldn’t help himself and went in to grab one. Unfortunately, he wasn’t aware of how chewy they were and after taking a few chomps, he realized the treat was as tough as glue. He couldn’t even open his mouth! And just to his luck, Bakugou’s girlfriend had walked in, seemingly back from her training session.
“Hi baby.” Y/N said. She went up to who she thought was her boyfriend and gave him a hug along with a peck on his cheek. “How was your day?”
Kirishima grew nervous. He didn’t know how to handle this situation. He would totally tell Y/N that it was actually him in her boyfriend’s body but the brownie sealed his mouth shut! He resorted to going with the flow and just nodding with a nervous smile. A very Bakugou smile.
“Tiring?” Y/N asked. Kirishima nodded his head. “Umm..okay. Well, same for me, but I still have enough energy for movie night, so I’ll see you in the common room. ‘Kay?”
Again, the now blonde nodded his head again. You smiled at him and went in to give him another hug. To your shock, you felt something poking you when you gave your boyfriend a hug. You looked down and noticed a pretty impressive print through his sweats and smirked. You looked up to your “boyfriend” and gave him a sly look. “You sure you’re tired Suki? Cuz your friend down here says you’re down for something else.”
Kirishima began to shake due to his nervousness now. He couldn’t help the damn boner! One, nitroglycerin is apparently 12x stronger than viagra, and two! He can’t relieve himself! Looking at and touching his best friend’s dick was wrong! And weird! Even if it was attached to him now!
What Kirishima wasn’t prepared for was you being so willing to help relieve his stiffy. On the bright side, he’d relive his hard on. On the not so bright side, he’d be fucking his best bro’s girl. Big no no. He definitely wasn’t prepared for your hand to travel down his torso and grab onto his Bakugou’s dick. “You still tired Suki?”
Kirishima couldn’t help himself. It felt too good to stop. He threw his head back and enjoyed the stimulation, even though he knew it was wrong. All he knew was that if he let this whole thing play through, he wouldn’t have to worry about walking around with a huge ass boner. A blush grew on his face as he moaned. He felt you peck at his neck a bit before stopping all your motions. The now blonde looked towards you in confusion and saw your laughter.
“Hehe, sorry Suki. Save it for later tonight, okay? I’ve gotta freshen up but I’ll see you later, Love.” You said before giving him a sweet peck and walking away. Once you were out of sight, Kirishima fanned his face to try and get rid of his blush. He then quickly ran to the fridge and chugged a few gulps of milk down to wash away the brownie.
“Fuck.” Was all that he said. Did that really just happen? Shit. Should he have let that happen? At this point he didn’t know. The man in him said HELL NO, but the nitroglycerin said otherwise. All Kirishima knew was that apparently he had a movie date to get to.
So now here we are, Y/N and Kirishima (in Bakugou’s body) all cuddled up on one of the common room couches during the late hours of the night, watching a movie. Kirishima thought Y/N looked really tempting in her booty shorts and tube top. The way her plush chest pressed up against his own as she watched the screen with a smile wasn’t aiding Kirishima’s mission to relieve his hard on.
Throughout the whole movie, Kirishima watched from time to time how Y/N would rub her legs together. It seemed she was growing some urges as well. Kirishima couldn’t shake his nerves..like...AT ALL.
Finally. It was almost the end of the movie. Kirishima had almost made it. All he had to do was finish the last 10 minutes and he could go..well honestly he didn’t know yet but he’ll figure it out later! Unfortunately, the universe had different plans. Kirishima watched as Y/N sat up to grab the remote and turn off the T.V. She placed the object down on the table and faced who she assumed to be her boyfriend. She wrapped her arms around his neck and went to straddle his groin.
“Uh-..Y/N?” Kirishima asked with a shaky voice as he gulped down a nerve. You smirked at him and leaned down to leave kisses all over his neck. Kirishima shook a bit and let out a shudder at your soft lips.
“Relax Suki. We won’t get caught. ‘Sides, when have you ever been afraid to fuck in public?” You said. You then went up to start off your session with a hot kiss to “Katsuki’s” lips. Kirishima had wide eyes as you took in his lips, but eventually, your sweet taste and bouncy lips made him succumb to your wishes.
He placed his hands on your waist as he kissed you back. When he opened his mouth you slid your tongue in as your hands entangled themselves in his hair. The kiss was fiery and passionate and eventually you and “Katsuki” both began to moan into the kiss. His hands traveled to your ass and gave in a firm grip which made you release a loud moan. Things were definitely heating up now.
When Katsuki came back to the dorms, he had already been exhausted by the entire situation. The only thing on his mind was getting some rest to ware off the headache, hours had passed and he eventually woke up in the middle of the night.
“Shit, how long have I been out?” He stretched and yawned a bit before he got up. The mirror hanging on his wall reminded him of his new body. “Oh, right. I’m in Shitty Hair’s body......gross.”
Bakugou felt his mouth become dry and so he planned to get a glass of water from the kitchen. As he walked down the halls, he couldn’t help but think about you. His precious girl. The love of his life who’s been with him since childhood and who he’s been dating since their second year in junior high. You were with him through it all and he couldn’t help but feel a little bad that he had to miss movie night.
‘Fuck, did I even tell Y/N I wouldn’t make it to movie night? Crap,’ he thought. Oh well, he’d just have to make up for it later. As he walked near the common rooms, his ears picked up a sound. And not just any sound, it was a moan. And he knew exactly who’s moan it was, for he had been the cause of those exact sounds and he’s heard them time and time again.
Bakugou ran to the common rooms to find his girlfriend and his body making out and slowly grinding on each other on the couch. He watched “his” hands travel to grope Y/N’s ass and bit his lip when he heard his girlfriend’s pleasured moans. He wasn’t gonna lie, the scene before him had turned him on, but what became a huge turnoff was the fact that Bakugou knew it wasn’t him in there and he knew exactly who was in his damn body!
“THE HELL?!” Bakugou screamed in Kirishima’s voice. He watched the two of you jump away from each other in shock and saw a look of fear flow through Kirishima’s his own eyes.
“Jeez, Kirishima. You scared us.” You said to your actual boyfriend without knowing it. Bakugou fumed at the fact that you were just making out and were probably about to fuck his best friend but he couldn’t blame you. You called him Kirishima so you must’ve not known about the switch.
“Can I talk to Bakugou real quick, L/N?” Bleh. Calling someone else by his name was weird and calling you by your family name was very uncomfortable.
“Umm..we’re kinda in the middle of something so maybe if you could jus-“
“Thanks.” He said and dragged “Bakugou” away behind a hallway corner. He pinned his body up against the wall and got in Kirishima’s face as he held the man by his collar. “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING KISSING MY GIRLFRIEND?!”
“IM SORRY! I DIDN’T MEAN TO! SHE CAME ONTO ME!” Kirishima explained while being held against the wall.
“NO SHIT SHE CAME ONTO YOU! YOU’RE IN MY BODY! YOU’RE ME! I’M HER BOYFRIEND! SHE THOUGHT YOU WERE ME SHITTY HAIR!” Bakugou screamed. Kirishima just laughed nervously as Bakugou continued to fume. After venting, Bakugou finally dropped Kirishima back on his feet and pressed the bridge of his nose with 2 fingers. “Okay. Why THE FUCK did you not tell her about the quirk?”
“Because man! .....Your quirk has built in viagra!” Kirishima said in defeat as he threw his hands in the air due to the pent up frustration. “I’ve had a fucking stiffy ever since I got put in your body! So I thought-“
“You thought you could relieve yourself with my girl?!” Bakugou asked with big, angry eyes.
“.....Yes?”
“KIRISHIMA!”
“ALRIGHT!” Kirishima sighed. “Well what now?”
“We go out there and explain to her what happened so you don’t end up fucking her!” Bakugou explained as he tried to walk back to you but Kirishima pulled him back.
“Okay but what about my fucking boner?” The pent up boy asked.
“Just rub it out!” Bakugou exclaimed.
“No way! I’m not touching your dick!” Kirishima rebelled.
“Why not? I’m clean. And big! Just saying, I got a pretty dick dude.” Bakugou said with both hands up in defense.
“BAKUGOU!”
“Yeah, fair.” The ex blonde said. The boys thought about it for a bit before something hit Kirishima like a train.
“Wait..if you’re so okay with me seeing your dick..does that mean..you took a look at mine?!” He asked while shaking Bakugou’s his shoulders.
“What?! Gross! No! I was napping all day Shitty Hair so relax! And get your damn hands offa’ me!” Bakugou said while squirming out of Kirishima’s hold.
“Alright, fine whatever! Let’s just go out and explain to L/N.” Kirishima said.
“Good!”
“Good!”
“Goooooodd!” Bakugou said more dramatically. The two boys finally made it back to you and instead of your boyfriend’s body taking a seat next to you, it remained standing. Meanwhile, “Kirishima” took the seat “Katsuki” previously had. You looked towards the red head and then to your boyfriend in a confused tilt.
“Suki? Are you gonna sit?” You asked to “Bakugou.”
“I am.” “Kirishima” replied. You looked towards the muscular boy sitting next to you with a raised brow.
“What?” You questioned.
“Listen, L/N, we got something to tell you.” The actual Kirishima said. You looked to your “boyfriend” with almost a hurt look on your face as to why he was calling you by your family name. The real Bakugou took notice of your sad voice and softened his eyes at your now upset demeanor. “I’m actually Kirishima...”
Your face grew in surprise and then silence hit the room. The boys gazed your looks for a reaction but got nothing other than pure shock. You couldn’t even say anything other than “Eh?!”
“Yeaahhhh..I’m your actual boyfriend.” The red head said. You looked to Kirishima and inspected him closer.
“Uh..Suki?” You said while zooming in of his face.
“Tch. It’s me Teddy Bear, relax,” Bakugou said while looked away with a blushed face as he pushed your face away. You grumbled at his push and took his hand off.
“Yup. That’s you.” You said, relaxing. “So...you’re Katsuki..and you’re Kirishima?”
You watched the boys nod their heads and you were settling down until another thought came to mind. “Wait..so I was-..on the couch-...I thought-...”
“Yeah, you were making out with Shitty Hair but in my body..” Bakugou said with a hand behind his neck. Your face jumped in shock once more until it was replaced with anger. You watched as Kirishima’s new face became nervous and gave a shaky chuckle.
“Kirishima...” you seethed with slanted eyes before you attempted to jump onto the new blonde. Mid-jump, Bakugou grabbed onto your waist and pulled you back onto his lap. You fought against Katsuki’s hold on you but alas he was too strong.
“Nope! No, settle, settle.” Bakugou said with an iron grip on your waist. You finally calmed down until you took notice you were sitting in BASICALLY Kirishima’s lap. Feeling uncomfortable you scooted off your boyfriend and sat next to him. Bakugou looked at you with a confused expression that demanded an explanation.
“Heh..sorry um, Suki. But I’m not sitting on you or doing...anything else that’s lovey dovey until you’re back to your own body.” You explained.
“Wha- that’s not fair! You were all over here grinding on him just a few minutes ago!” Bakugou whined and pointed at his body.
“Because I didn’t know it wasn’t you!” Bakugou just grumbled and groaned at you. Your reasoning was fair but he just wanted his girlfriend.
“Okay, whatever. Be pouty. Just- When is this quirk gonna wear off?” You asked. Bakugou continued to pout with crossed arms but luckily Kirishima answered.
“2 weeks.” He said.
“Alright then!” You said while clapping your hands and standing up, gathering Katsuki’s attention. “For the next 2 weeks or until you go back to normal, Suki, no touching, no kisses, no overly-friendly hugs, no cuddles, no lap-sitting....”
Bakugou listened to you list all the things he couldn’t do. As you went on, his jaw dropped as he realized he wouldn’t be able to do all the things he usually does to you for the next 2 weeks. The list went on and on until you finished it with one final detail. “...and finally. No sex.”
“WHAT?!” Bakugou said while standing up now. “WHY?!”
“Katsuki. I’m not fucking my boyfriend’s best friend’s body. No offense Kiri,” you said to the other boy.
“None taken!” He said with his winning smile. Just less shark-toothy. Bakugou just mumbled about until you cut him off.
“Anyways! I’m going to bed. After this long and frankly awkward day, I think we all should.” You said and the boys agreed. You all walked to your respected dorms but when Bakugou tried following you into your dorm while he was still in Kirishima’s body, you stopped him with a hand on his chest.
“Uh, sorry Suki. You’ll be sleeping in your own dorm for the next 2 weeks. No sleeping together either.” You watched as Bakugou became much more agitated as he huffed. He grumbled as he reluctantly walked all the way to his own dorm room. You giggled as you watched the now red head walk away and shut your door. You couldn’t help but laugh as you laid down on your bed but 10 minutes passed and before you could fall asleep, a knock was at your door.
“Suki, I said we can’t sleep on my bed together.” You said once you opened the door, finding Kirishima’s body holding a pillow and blanket.
“I know it’s just- *sigh* look, if I can’t cuddle with you can I at least sleep on the ground and hold your hand?” He said, looking away with an embarrassed blush. “I know you said hand-holding isn’t allowed but you won’t be seeing me since I’ll be out of your sight and on the ground.”
You smiled at how clingy he was being. It was adorable and you just had to give in. “Fine, come in.”
Katsuki perked up with a small smile and happily followed you into the room. You got comfy on the bed while he set up his little pillow and blanket. You finally dropped your hand down so he could hold onto it and his warm hand held a strong grip on your own.
So now here you were, late at night, “cuddling” with your boyfriend. In a way. You smiled as you held onto his hand and couldn’t help but giggle when you felt his lips place a sweet kiss to your knuckles. Oh well, I guess there was nothing wrong with holding hands with your boyfriend’s best friend. As long as it’s your boyfriend who’s in his best friend’s body.
You couldn’t believe this was gonna be your life for the next 2 weeks.

Can’t Sleep: [4] … [6]
Not too long later, Gaius Grieves revealed himself. Your little trio watched as Robert discreetly put a gun to his back and started talking. You weren't close enough to decipher what he said. Once he started moving your team got the cue to follow. However, everyone stopped in their tracks once soldiers were spotted.
"I thought Milton was supposed to be our lookout," you muttered as the soldiers started speaking Spanish to the patrons in the club.
As the soldiers got more aggressive in their search for Americans, Robert turned to Cleo.
"All right," Robert motioned to Grieves. "Take him out through the back, all right? Find my coordinates in the pad and meet me in half an hour," he ordered while handing Abner a gun.
"What?"
"Hey, did you hear what I said?"
"Yes, but-"
"Go."
Cleo hesitated before grabbing Grieves.
"Let's go."
As you were leading your small group to the back entrance, you heard Robert yell out, "Hey, calm down! There's no need to disturb everyone's night."
You could faintly hear Flag speak up as you found a door marked Solo Empleados.
"This way."
Unfortunately the door you opened was the dressing room for the dancers. You heard Abner say, "Oh, God," before a stumbling sound and a gun being handled. You briefly looked back to see Abner holding Grieves at gun pointing and ordering him to "Move it!"
Damn. That was a little hot.
Pushing your way through the dancers and out the door, you let out a small gasp at the soldier standing in front of you. Cleo, ever the quick thinker, used her device to have a rat crawl down his throat.
"Remind me not to get on your bad side."
You eventually made your way outside in an alley. Milton jogged over once he caught sight of you four.
"Your equipment manipulates animal behavior, clever," Grieves spoke out. "I'm working on something similar with humans."
"Be quiet, please."
"You are perceivably panicked. I'm guessing that you are not the alphas of this battalion."
"Do you want a dozen angry rodents crawling up your ass?" Cleo snapped.
"My answer might not be what you expect."
"Disgusting," you commented as Abner ushered Grieves to move.
You quickly made your way into the van. Milton took the driver's seat, Abner sat in the middle across from Grieves who still had a gun pointed at him, and you and Cleo took a seat in the back by Nanaue.
"Hello, friends!"
"Hi, yes, hello to you too, Nanaue," you said before pointing at Grieves. "Nom nom this man if I give the word."
"Okay!"
Cleo rummaged through DuBois bag before handing you the coordinate pad he spoke of earlier. Was that a picture of his daughter you saw? You couldn't get a good look since Cleo zipped up the bag. Coordinates in hand, you made your way back up the front to give Milton directions.
"Oh ho ho, what's this?" Grieves smuggly declared. You were too busy paying attention to the road to hear him.
"What's what?"
"I saw that little look you gave to your teammate."
"There was no look," Abner denied.
"Ah, but there was. How are you going to pretend you weren't just looking at their ass as they passed? You seem to have a school boy crush."
"Abner has a crush?" Cleo entered the conversation.
"No!"
Grieves laughed before answering Cleo. "You seem to have forgotten that I study people for a living, and I am very good at my job."
"Pet pet and Polky?" Nanaue piped up from the back.
"No! No Pet pet and Polky," Abner said with exasperation. However, upon looking at you and seeing how captivating you looked under the flashing lights of the street lamps, he followed it up with defeated, "Okay, maybe Pet pet and Polky."
"Dios mío!" Cleo exclaimed before she was hurriedly shushed. They both looked over to see if you heard.
"Okay, now take a right onto this street."
You did not.
"I'm happy for you, Abner."
"You seem to have forgotten you are on a mission. This isn't some little girl's slumber party."
Cleo slapped Grieves over the back of the head as Abner seemed to remember that he had a gun in his hand.
"Be quiet."
"Is- is that them?"
The team all looked at you as they looked out the window. Following your gaze, it landed on an upside down armored vehicle in a ditch.
"Of course it is, who else would be dumb enough," you sighed.
Milton slowly approached the area and parked the van. As soon as it stopped you jumped out to see if they were still there. Turns out you didn't have to wait long; the back door unlocked to reveal your three teammates scuffed but otherwise unharmed.
You wouldn't admit it but you felt relieved.
"All right," Robert grunted. "Let's go to Jotunheim."
"Nope. There's somethin' we gotta take care of first."
"What?"
Rick sighed out, "As much as it pains me to say, we gotta get Harley Quinn."
"Harley who?"
"Quinn. She was on Team 1 with me. Now that I know where she is, we gotta go get her."
"Fuck no."
"Come on, man." They made their way back into the van after you. "She's a valuable asset."
"I said no."
"Don't make me get Waller into this."
Robert thought for a moment. "Fuck, fine, alright. We'll go get 'er."
Everyone eventually got seated. This time you actually sat in a seat since you weren't planning on taking an impromptu nap—although that did sound nice. Flag filled Milton out on the details and directed him on where to go as you all got cozy. Robert and Chris were going at it again, Cleo was asleep, Nanaue was trying to get you to sit in his lap, and Abner was watching in amusement.
"No."
"Yes."
"I said no."
"Pet pet?"
"No, Nanaue."
Nanaue put on his best pout, "Please?"
You should not have turned around to look at him. Sighing, you stood up and made your way over to him.
"Hahaha!" He sounded like a giddy kid in a candy store. He gently picked you up and placed you on his lap. Immediately he started petting you again and hummed. Your legs were cramped and you felt like you were about to fall off his lap. Without saying anything, you sprawled your legs across Abner's lap. He just looked at you with a smile before adjusting himself to accommodate you. Resting his arms over your legs, he continued looking out the window.
"How fascinating."
"Hmm?" You looked at Grieves.
"You don't happen to also control animal behavior, do you?"
"Why would I tell you that?"
"Fair."
You heard a loud sigh from Chris. "Is this going to become a regular occurance?"
"What, you jealous? I'm calling it now, if we have another night during this mission I'm using him as my cuddle buddy."
"Whatever."
Although you said you wouldn't, you were almost asleep before Robert made the call for everyone to gear up. While everyone was rushing to get their gear on, you just yawned and leaned over to handcuff Grieves to a seat before making yourself at home on Nanaue again. You weren't exactly trained to fight with weapons, although you did grab a nearby combat knife to carry.
"You gotta be kiddin' me. You're gonna risk the entire mission for a mental defective dressed as a court jester."
"This is coming from a guy that wears a toilet seat on his head."
"We don't leave our own behind," Rick reminded.
"You're okay with this?"
"No, but I've been around Flag when he's got a rag in his mouth. Best not to tug it."
"Motherfucker!"
Just as everyone seemed almost ready, you hopped off Nanaue and gently nudged Cleo.
"Come on, gotta wake up."
"All right, let's go."
Everyone—besides Grieves—exited the vehicle before Flag announced his plan.
"All right, we'll enter through the third floor, go to the inner staircase, and then down to the cellar where they usually keep their detainees. Hopefully, Harley's still alive."
Still butthurt about what Robert said, Chris stubbornly muttered, "It's not a toilet seat, it's a beacon of freedom!"
Everyone got into position; Peacemaker somehow scaled a building to get a vantage point, Abner was down the street looking for traffic, Rick and Robert were beside one of the walls ready to climb to the third floor, you turned into a bird (much to the amazement of your team) so you could quickly enter the window Robert would open, and Nanaue—who forgot you turned into a bird—stared at you.
"Ratatouille, what do you got?"
"Third floor hallway's clear. Abner?"
"There doesn't seem to be any incoming traffic."
"Bird."
"Nanaue, that's Mimic you meathead- and stay off the comm!"
"Colonel, I got a clean shot on the only one in the office. Just give the word."
"Fire on three, two..."
"What're you guys doing?"
Rick looked at Harley, then DuBois, then back to Harley. "I... you- we're here to save you."
"You were gonna... save me?" Harley visibly looked touched.
"It was a really good plan, too."
"Well I can go back inside and you can still do it."
"That's patronizing," Bloodsport commented.
You saw Harley drag a big stick thing over to Flag and hug him.
"Uh, what's with the javelin?"
"I'm waiting for God to tell me."
"Jesus Christ..."
"Yeah, or Him. Or any of them, really."
You and Nanaue watched as Harley and Bloodsport had an awkward introduction.
"Never mind everyone, Harley is secure."
"What?"
"Meet me in the van so we can leave as quickly as possible."
Sighing, you morphed back into your original form. Nanaue made an audible gasp as he saw you sitting on the railing.
"Pet pet?
"Yes, Nanaue, it's me, Pet pet."
King Shark laughed as he started petting you immediately. Resisting the urge to roll your eyes, you swatted his hand away and motioned for him to follow you.

Baby Shark Do Do Do Do Do Do (John Constantine x GN!Reader)
Tumblr media
Pairing: John Constantine (LoT ver.) x Gender Neutral Reader Rating: General audiences Words: 1065 Summary: You find a baby shark and you want to keep it. You just gotta convince your boyrfriend. Note: This was supposed to be posted yesterday, but this is for fluffgust.  Tags: Domestic fluff, comedy and I changed King Shark’s origins because I can. 
John called your name as he opened the doors to his place. You told the creature in the bathtub to be quiet with a finger to your lips as you slowly backed away from the bathtub. The young creature smiled at you and splashed in the water. You told him to cut it out as you left him in the bathroom. With still-wet feet, you rushed down the stairs to jump into your boyfriend’s arms. 
John’s face was always so forlorn, but you never missed the glint in his eyes and tug on his lips whenever he saw you. “Johnny,” you cooed as you hugged him. John kissed your temple. “I did not make dinner. Can we go by the drive in?” John gave you a look as he slowly let you go. 
“If I remember,” he started as he circled you now, “there were still groceries left and you, my wonderful partner, have been home majority of the day. So…”  He stepped closer to you until your chests slightly touched. “What have you been up to all day?” 
You grinned up to him and wrapped your arms around his neck. “Don’t you wish to know, demon boy?” John scoffed as his hands landed on your hips, but the raise of his eyebrows told you he was buying none of your seduction tactics. You huffed and retreated, crossing your arms over your chest. “Do you still love me or what? I used to be able to seduce you with a little shoulder before we started dating.”
John laughed and pulled you back into his arms, swinging you from left to right for a moment. “Before we started dating, I just wanted to shag you, love.” You gasped dramatically and hit his chest, but before you could retaliate, there was a loud crash from upstairs. “Stay here,” John said reflexively as he let go and walked to the stairs. 
“Wait, no, John, I can explain,” you said as you ran after him, making him stop dead in his tracks and turn towards you. His face of both betrayal and disbelief got you confused for a second, but you quickly caught onto how it sounded. 
“If I go upstairs, what or who will I find?” He asked, his hands disappearing into the pockets of his trench coat as he shifted on his feet. There was a frantic knocking on the door and you smiled awkwardly at John, before walking past him. You rushed to the bathroom door and opened it. A little shark-like creature with legs fell through, looking at you with what you could only discern to be fear. 
“Oh Baby Shark, I did not abandon you,” you cooed as you picked him up and held it close. Holding Baby Shark like that made your clothes wet as well, but you couldn’t care as he snuggled into your neck. “No need to be scared, it is just daddy Johnny.”
You eyed John, trying to read his expression. He looked like he was doing some high school level mental math. Poor Baby Shark was so scared of John, he clung to your shirt and you shushed him like you would have done were he a normal baby. 
“What is that?” A valid question from John. It took him a while, but he had settled for a very valid question. Unfortunately you had no answer for it and simply shrugged. “Where did you get it?” 
You held Baby Shark close as he seemed to relax in your arms. “I got him from a fish tank left in an alleyway. He was cold and alone and scared.” 
“Him?” You held out Baby Shark, revealing the baby penis between his legs, before holding him close again. “Ok him then… can you please give him some pants?” You chuckled and went inside the bathroom. John stood by the door as you put a towel around Baby Shark’s waist. “You plan on keeping him, don’t you?” 
You pouted at John and hugged Baby Shark. “Please Johnny, he has no home and he is so cute.” 
“Do we even know what he eats?” “Well he is part shark, part… human I guess… Fish should do.” “Do we need to keep him in our bathtub?” “I can buy a fish tank, but he seems to do well without being in water as well.” 
John sighed and rubbed his face. “Fine, but if he bites me, I am throwing him out.” You thanked John as he left, probably to make dinner. You put Baby Shark in a towel and went to town with thread and needle to make some weird toga that covered him up. He was not pleased with it, but until you bought him clothes, he was going to have to do with it. 
When you came down John had made dinner with the ingredients left in the fridge. There was a third plate on the coffee table, warming your heart with the sight of it. “I have a can of sardines in the cupboard, but let’s see if he eats fried rice first.” You put Baby Shark in front of the table and handed him a spoon, hoping he would know how to use one. Both you and John watched with anticipation as you sat on the couch with your plate on your laps. Baby Shark took the spoon, scooped up as much rice as would fit on it and shoved it in his mouth. You were scared for a second that he was going to swallow the spoon as well, but when you saw him taking a second scoop, you let out a breath you did not know you were holding in. 
After dinner, Baby Shark lied across your lap, watching the movie that played on TV with the both of you. Admittedly, it was way too violent for a child, but Baby Shark seemed unbothered. Eventually you had a weird shark hybrid sleeping in your lap. When the movie ended, John was the first to get up. He lifted Baby Shark up and held him like a baby in his arms. “I’ll see you in bed. I’ll put this little critter in the bedroom across from ours, a’right?” You smiled up at him and nodded as you stretched. When you eventually went upstairs, you caught sight of John through the crack of the door, tucking in a sleeping Baby Shark.
