#if I remember what this trick is called I'll tag it

In the interest of not turning this into a "shitting on that one prof I don't like" blog, I'd like to share an interesting "accounting trick" I learned about last semester. (This would be more detailed if I could remember which class it was from...)
Cash flows are not the primary focus of most businesses, but they're still important. A customer giving you $50 and a customer saying that $50 will arrive in a week are similar in many respects, but you can't reinvest that $50 until next week. The reverse is also true; paying $50 now means you can't do anything else with it.
You might reasonably wonder why this matters. What can you invest $50 in that will pay off in a week? Well...
Big businesses don't think about cash the same way ordinary people do. They can easily open lines of credit or take out loans. The amount of cash they have in their bank account isn't really measuring the amount of money they can spend. What matters is cash flows.
Think of a company as being like a tub with several drains in the bottom and some spigots up top. The drains are everything the company spends cash on—employee salaries, shareholder dividends, accounts payable, expenses that must be paid in cash, etc. The spigots are whatever mechanisms pump cash back into the company. The amount of water in the tub is equivalent to the amount of cash the company has on hand. As long as the tub isn't completely empty, everything is fine.
A certain amount of excess water is good; you never know when someone's going to knock a new hole in the bottom, or when one of the spigots might get clogged. But having too much water is a bad thing; it's sitting around, wastefully, not doing anything productive. Deadweight. A manager that can't find something profitable to do with a large excess of cash is not a good manager.
Over the generations, companies have found plenty of ways to make a bit of money from short-term investments. (For instance, buying various short-term market securities, or loaning money to other companies who miscalculated and ran out of water.)
And here we circle back to the core question. Cash flows are important, but volume isn't the only consideration—timing is, as well. If customers are mailing you cash and you need to mail cash to your suppliers, you might not get much time to use that cash.
But if customers pay electronically, it shows up days earlier, letting you slosh it through some short-term investments first. If you process $10k of payments a day, and process those payments two days faster, you've basically earned the company $20k that it can play with.
And now here's the "accounting trick" part. According to my textbook, some companies maintain check-writing centers out in the middle of nowhere, so the check spends extra days in the mail. Your PayPal or whatever still enters their bank account at the speed of internet, but the checks they send have to crawl out on artificially-delayed snail mail.
If the company writes $10k of checks this way per day, and their shenanigans add an extra three days between writing the check and cashing it, they've effectively created $30k for the company to play with. By, let me reiterate, making things less convenient for the people they send money to.
(Note that this is a flat sum, not a daily income or something. This only generates revenue insofar as that additional sum of money can be invested profitably.)
I don't know why this is so appealing to me. Maybe it's just the sheer audacity. Accountants or financial managers or whomever figuring out a way to directly profit off of making things more annoying for the people they do business with is just peak capitalism.

who's to say what's real or fake// Genshin SAGAU
Tumblr media
from aree: impostor au but you actually are the impostor? but ofcourse theres a twist. I think i'll call this FakeGrace!Reader. This was just going to be a headcannon post but ended up a whole fic plot
warnings: themes that all come with the sagau tag (yandere, lots of religious talk, cult, etc.)
word count: 2k~
Tumblr media
You end up on Teyvat and immediately the characters recognize you as their Creator; of course you're their Creator - you have the same face, name, and voice. You go through the ordeal of getting to know all the characters all over again and they in turn love you as the god they’ve been waiting for all this time.
You decide that well, this is the world and characters I spent blood, sweat, and tears building (even if it was behind a screen) so might as well help out and do what needs to be done. The people come to you for their problems and you find that they're not as difficult as when you were simply a player. Maybe a minor dispute here and there between the NPCs, but now the vision holders and the Archons ask for your thoughts on how to go about political matters concerning their nations. Even Snezhnaya has signed a peace treaty with the other nations as a show of good faith to the Creator (even if you know for a fact its a temporary one).
All has never been better.
Until another Creator appears in Teyvat, and this one bleeds gold the way their stories foretold. In a way you do not.
The vision holders are torn. Yes, you are an impostor, and they want to hate you for tricking them, but at the same time haven’t you only shown them love? Haven’t you been patient with them and understanding despite being thrown into a world you’re unfamiliar with?
But with careful coercion from the other god, they have to choose to follow their true Creator. You decide to take pity on them and step down from your position yourself, choosing to live with the Aranara who have gladly taken you under their wing (fake god you may be, you are still a friend of the forest, and the forest always remembers its friends).
The Archons tell their new Creator that you are no more. They pretend to not hear when the Creator says they should have brought your head with them, maybe just a bitter reaction for finding out that they have been serving an impostor all this time (the Archons are lying when they say they do not feel sickened at the idea of hurting you, and disgusted at this new God's words)
It soon becomes clear to the people of Teyvat that this new Creator is not you - none of the patience or kindness you had showed them. This new one thinks helping their people is below them, even laughs at some of their problems. They chuck their duties as a god to the vision holders and spend their days leisurely, wining and dining on the best food, expecting to be waited on hand and foot. And at first it was fine, the characters understood. Maybe their Creator was just enjoying the fruits of their labor for once (although in the back of their mind, they can't help but compare you - you who worked tirelessly to attend to everyone even when they’d almost beg you to take a break). The characters tell themselves that they just need to get used to this new god, their true Creator. It will all right itself in time. Even as the Creator acted more like a child by the day, calling for the punishment of characters for the simplest of things. It’s fine. It’s fine.
It didn't take long for their will to break.
The God of Wisdom is called as such for a reason. Nahida may be younger compared to the rest, but she is braver than most. She simply tried to impart a fraction of her wisdom, softly suggesting to the Creator to show mercy for their people who were gravely punished for things they did not do.
This Creator was not you. They did not have a drop of patience that you had, nor any love for their creations. Their god saw this as nothing but an act of treason. How dare a mere Archon tell them what to do? She dares to question who the Creator can and cannot punish?
The silence is deafening in the throne room as the Creator calls for the death of Lesser Lord Kusanali and the destruction of Sumeru. If it is mercy she asks for then it is the last thing she and her people will receive. The other Archons agree past gritted teeth, the sin of Khaenri’ah weighing heavy over their shoulders still.
Nahida had been banished to Sumeru before the order was given, so the Archons make their way to the Nation of Wisdom to tell her of her sentencing, hoping to beg her to ask the Creator for their forgiveness.
This can't be how it ends. Are they to spend their lives in fear of the god they so revered?
They enter a forest emitting divine energy in search of their friend, hearts heavy, but they found something else.
They found you. They found the Creator they loved once upon a time.
They seemed to have caught you mid-conversation with Nahida, and to their surprise (and resentment) the Tsaritsa; they can only assume that the god of Snezhnaya has informed you first of Nahida's fate. The Wanderer catches sight of them and stands in front of you in protection. You don't even bat an eye. You swallow hard and stand, Nahida's hand enveloped in yours, and the other gods would be lying if they say they did not feel jealousy strangling their lungs.
With a steady voice, you tell them that should they take one step against Nahida, you will meet them halfway. If they decide to send Sumeru to hell, they will have to go through you first. You will do everything you can to stop them, and if Sumeru falls then you fall with them.
They don't have to look at the others to make up their mind. There's a beat of silence but first it's Morax, and Beelzebul and Barbatos and then Focalor, and they are on their knees, heads bowed low.
It is only right to show respect to their god, after all. How could they be so blind?
Validation of their actions comes soon after as you let go of Nahida's hand and tell the Wanderer to stand aside. You do something that tyrant of a Creator that sits on a glass throne would never - you kneel before them and hold out your hand.
"Why are you all kneeling? Stand up. I am no longer your god. But I hope you will have me as a friend. Will that be alright?"
There are tears in their eyes as they let out stuttering laughter. Yes, this is their god. Their god with so much love and compassion and a heart that does nothing but bleed for them. A heart that does not ask for them to bleed.
You are their god. You are their true Creator. Golden blood be damned. All that gold has done nothing but blind them.
Eventually, you all end up on the forest floor. You accept the role of a friend as promised, and catch up with them. The Archons are almost in tears as you listen to their stories earnestly, squeezing their hands in sympathy as you listen to the pain they've been through under the rule of their so called Creator (they really should find a new title for you, the god that sits on your throne has sullied your rightful name). At one point they stop telling you stories of their mistreatment, unable to see your face be any sadder than it already was. They take to retelling your stories together, reminiscing better days - because is that not what they have done all this time? Think about the lovely you for every wrongdoing the other god had done in your name?
As you laugh and smile with them and their stories and their company, the idea burrows through their mind without your knowledge, taking root, and they refuse to let it go. Wouldn't it be so much better if it was always like this? Seeing your smiling face with them, a person that deserves to be called a god even more so than all of them combined. Knowing you were safe from harm, not having to defend yourself, especially from them under orders from a tyrant. Knowing you loved them the way they loved you.
It was all better with you.
When you weren't looking, the Archons gave each other knowing looks and curt nods in understanding.
You are their beloved Creator.
As a peaceful silence falls over you, they watch as you smile sadly, their hearts breaking to see such an expression on your face. In a soft voice, you apologize for not being able to do much to help them. When you lift your head, golden resolute eyes meet yours.
"You’ve done enough, Your Grace. Let us handle the rest."
You may have laughed at the old title, but the Archons are hell bent in returning it to you. Although it hurts them to say goodbye, they know it’s only for the moment. Soon, you will be with them. Back in your rightful throne, as you have always deserved.
Nahida is the youngest, and so they decide to spare her the carnage. The rest know she is no fool, they don't need to tell her what they had planned for her to know what happens next. She does not fully agree in the others' decision, yet she stays in Sumeru, promising to make sure you do not find out. Word travels fast to the other vision holders in the form of a breeze from Barbatos. Barely anyone had disagreed with the notion of removing the rejected god from the throne, and those who were hesitant at first changed their mind after hearing how you were ready to go down with Sumeru. Morax and the Tsaritsa lead the rebellion.
A god is only as powerful as the people who worship them. By the time the Archons arrived in the throne room, the Creator had no one to hide behind.
They made it a spectacle. They spin a tale for the people that the god they so worshiped was an impostor who had switched bodies with their rightful god, which explains the gold blood that should be yours. They say you were patiently waiting for them all to come back to you, to remove this impostor from your throne. You were ready to accept them all, they just needed to get rid of this filth that dared destroy your name. The Creator - no, the Impostor - is horrified when the people accept this story so easily, but they only have themselves to blame. Who cares what they have to say to defend themselves, although it’s not like they can anyway - how can they when their tongue was cut off?
Teyvat was silent as gold painted the streets of Liyue Harbor. Teyvat no longer cares for golden blood, not after all the blood and tears it had taken from its people. After all, a golden soul stands ready to take back their rightful place.
Your followers thought it had all been worth it - the pain, the hardships, the blood - to see you smile the first time you set foot outside Sumeru after what felt like years to them. And yet, despite the joyous occasion, you hesitantly turn to them and ask a question not even Irminsul would answer you.
"What happened to the Creator?"
You would be lying if you said the soft smiles each of them gave did not unnerve you as they all said the same thing, like a joke everyone knew all except you.
"We simply removed the Impostor from Your Grace's presence."
They are thankful that you are blinded by your love for them to see the gold shine on their hands. You do not ask about the shimmering streets either. Liyue was the city of gold after all, was it not?
For now, their biggest concern is your acceptance that they are your equal, but that can easily be fixed. You are their friend now, but someday you’ll be their god again. Slowly but surely. They will sit you back in your throne. They will kneel before you again. They will give you the reverence you so deserved.
It will all be yours.
You're their wonderful Creator, after all. Maybe not to you right now. But you always have been for them.
They’ll start from calling you Your Grace. You’d be too kind to tell them off over and over.
You always had been good at adapting.
You had gotten used to it then, you’ll get used to it again.

Imagine a surprise date for Leona
(Etablished relationship)
Reader asked Ruggie to help them prepare a picnic in the botanical garden wtih Leona's favourites foods. The thing is, Leona doesn't know. So to have him getting up from bed and going to the botanical garden, well, reader will have to ask him but not reveal him it's a date and it might turns out that Leona will tease them like "Why would I come, herbivore? Is there something interesting there?" And ask for a proper sentence from reader like "Go on a date with me" and only after that he'll accept (and maybe tease them a little too). For during the date do anything you want. I don’t have much ideas :')
Feel free to not write it if you don't want and/or have no ideas :)
Tumblr media
COMMENTS: Okay, I have to ask: what is this thing about Leona and Picnics? Did I miss something? This is the second time I've been asked for something related to Leona and picnics. 😅 I ended up writing a lot again. At first I didn't know how to do this, but after having an idea the rest ended up flowing.
I hope you and all enjoy it. 😉
CHARACTERS: Leona x Reader 🦁🦐 (Ruggie as your helper)
TAGS: Fluff; GN Reader; Etablished Relationship; Mutual Teasing
WORD COUNT: 1.380 Words
Tumblr media
Preparing Things with Ruggie
First of all, what does Ruggie gain from helping you? You know you can pay him with money or food.
Well, what if you cook a bunch of dishes with the money from the card that Leona gave you and Ruggie keeps the leftover dishes?
He accept! It became very easy to convince Ruggie to do whatever you needed after your boyfriend allowed you to use all the money you wanted from him.
You still remember when Leona gave you that card. It was one of the times you commented about not being able to do something because you didn't have enough money. The next day he appeared with that card in his hand, as if it were some discount card that had fallen out of your pocket.
“Money is never one of royalty's problems.” He said “And it shouldn't be one of their partners either.”
“Just to confirm.” Ruggie says. “I'll still receive my part even if the plan goes wrong, right?” You look at him with a disapproving face. “Hey, come on. I have to look out for my interests, you know? And some free advice: you should do the same. But, let's face it, Leona is difficult to deceive if not impossible. Especially if he already knows the person and their behavior. Do you really think you have a chance of keeping a secret like that from him even for five minutes?”
Nothing stops you from at least trying, right? Ruggie sighs and then laughs.
Tumblr media
Savanaclaw Dorm - Leona's Room
“And why do you want me to go with you to the botanical garden?” Leona asks, lying on his bed with his hands behind his head. “I can take my nap right here.”
You need to come up with an excuse. Luckily, you trained this with Ruggie's help. He's prideful, tease that. You tell him you need help with a potionology assignment that Crewel gave you.
He yawns. “I'll do the work for you later. Or I can find someone to do it if I don't feel like doing it. I'm sure it's something easy. He wouldn't give anything difficult to a student who doesn't even use magic. Which is another reason that you don't even need to learn it at all.”
Whenever he talks like that you feel a little insulted. And he knows that, but sometimes he either does it on purpose to tease you, or he only realizes what he did after saying it. This appears to have been the second case.
He looks at you and your slightly annoyed expression, stretches and lays one of his arms on the other half of the bed, towards you, as if calling you. “Why don't you just take a nap with me?” He says with that teasing smirk. “You're not going to tell me you don't like it.”
It's tempting and he knows it. But, you also like to tease him with your stubbornness. And you have a very special trick up your sleeve.
“Well, I really needed to get this assignment done as quickly as possible.” You say “Grim upset Crewel in the last class and I have to fix it. And if you're not going to help me, I can ask another intelligent student who will be more than willing to help me.”
“I thought you knew that making a contract with Azul was a bad idea.” He says, casually and with his eyes closed.
“Actually, I was talking about Tsunotarou.”
Leona opens his eyes abruptly and the relaxed expression he had gives way to a low growl. He never really liked the fact that you and Malleus were so close, but that nickname. The simple fact that you have a nickname for him ant that making him so happy. Leona would never admit such a thing as jealousy.
“Last chance.” You say with one hand on the door handle and a smirk on your face.Even though you know you might be in trouble later. Or maybe you are smiling for that very reason? “Are you coming with me, or do I have to invite another prince?”
He gets up! And walks up to you with that annoyed, almost angry, look on his face. He puts one of his hands on the door, preventing you from opening it even if you wanted to, the other on his waist, and his face very close to yours. (yes, Kabedon)
“For a magicless herbivore you like playing with danger, don't you?”
 “You're not going to tell me you don't like it.” you say, using his own words.
He growls softly, but with a smug smile on his face. “You know I don't do favors. What's in it for me after I help you?” You say you can cook his favorite dish for dinner. “I see...” his smile grows “You mean the one you made for our picnic?”
You couldn't hide the surprise on your face. That caught you too off guard. He pulls back a little to laugh. That extremely rare laugh that few people besides you know.
“You know, I still thought about playing along and pretending I didn't know anything. To see how you would convince me.” His smug smile changes to an annoyed expression. “But then you had to bring up that lizard.” And back to smug. “So now, if you want me to go with you, ask me properly.”
There's not much time left for you to be stubborn. So, despite being upset, you ask him if he wants to go on a date with you.
“See? Isn't it easier that way?” He brings his face closer to yours again, with a smug smile as if warning you not to do that again, while deep down your cheekiness amuses him. “Than trying to deceive me?” He comes even closer. “And tease me?” he whispers, but with his voice, it's more like a slight amused growl.
Your lips almost touching. When he pulls away again. He opens the door behind you, making it push you against him. “I'll see how the food turned out. Then I decide what to do with you.”
Tumblr media
Botanical Garden
If you want him to tell you if the food is good, he will tease you with phrases like: “Well, this wouldn't hold a candle to the real chefs I'm used to.” or “For a herbivore, you know how to cook meat quite well.” or even “I ate it, didn't I? That should be enough of an answer.”
Leona will lay his head on your lap as if he knows that's something he is entitled to. Just as you, in return, have the right to pet his hair and ears. There's a good chance he'll also ask you to feed him while he's lying down like that.
When your legs get tired of serving as a pillow, he will lift his head and tell you to lie down next to him. And if you actually just lay down next to him, he'll grab your waist with one of his arms and pull you to lay your head on his chest.
When your date is over, you pack your things and go with Leona to Savanaclaw. You have to give Ruggie the scraps, a deal is a deal and when it comes to food, you don't play with that boy.
Tumblr media
Savanaclaw Dorm
Normally, Leona accompanies you to the Savanaclaw exit that leads to the Hall of mirrors. But this time, he stops as soon as you two arrive in front of his room door.
“And where do you think you're going?” He asks after you have walked a little further. Well, you were going back to Ramshackle Dorm, and you were hoping you could steal a kiss from him before you left.
He calls you with his index finger for you to come closer to him. And when you do, he grabs you by the waist like a lion catching its prey.
“I said I would decide what to do with you after seeing how the food was.” He brings his face closer to yours. “I've already decided.” And finally he kisses your lips, while he opens the door to his room and pulls you by the waist to go in with him. He closes the door.

The First Date - Changbin
Tumblr media
Simptober First Dates M-List
Pairing: Changbin (skz) x fem!reader
Genre: Fluff ;))))
Warnings: idk lmk
Notes: WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-please read responsibly, and remember that this work is fiction and meant strictly for imaginative fun. the idols used in fics are more accurately faceclaims and personality outlines for imaginary characters, and should not be interpreted as factual representations of existing people
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The story unfolds in the vibrant setting of an arcade, where you work at the front desk. It all started when a group of boys, including Changbin, entered the arcade. Chan, Lee Know, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N accompanied Changbin, and they seemed like a lively bunch. Little did you know that this encounter would mark the beginning of a unique connection.
As Changbin approached the front desk, he leaned in and whispered something to his friends. You couldn't quite make out what he was saying, but you did catch his gaze, which lingered on you for a moment. It seemed that he was complimenting your appearance, and you couldn't help but feel flattered.
You provided them with the tickets they needed, and they went off to enjoy their time in the arcade. Changbin, however, kept returning. Sometimes, he came with his friends, and other times, he visited alone. Over time, he became a regular, and you two started to get to know each other.
One day, as Changbin was paying for the tickets, he mustered up the courage to ask you out. His voice was laced with shyness as he stammered, "Um, would you...like to go out with me?" Your heart skipped a beat, and you found his bashfulness endearing. You said yes, and a sweet smile spread across his face.
The conversation then turned to where you'd like to go for your first date. You admitted that you weren't sure, and he asked when you'd be free. You mentioned that your shift ended in 30 minutes. Changbin's eyes sparkled as he exclaimed, "I guess I'll have to come up with something fast, then." You chuckled, thinking he was joking, but to your surprise, he suggested having the date right there in the arcade.
He bought tickets for the two of you, and as you entered the arcade together, you were struck by the realization that you had never ventured beyond the front desk.
Changbin, as it turned out, was exceptionally good at bowling, and he took the time to teach you the ropes. You shared moments of laughter, and he was patient and encouraging as he showed you the tricks of the game. Your date turned into a memorable experience, and by the time your time ran out, you were genuinely grateful for the fun you'd had.
As you prepared to leave, Changbin asked for your number, and you exchanged contact information. You both smiled and said your goodbyes, looking forward to what the future might hold.
The next time you saw Changbin, he was with his friends, entering the arcade once more. To your surprise, they all said hi, something they usually didn't do. You realized that Changbin had told them about your date.
As Changbin approached the front desk to buy tickets, you decided to fluster him playfully. You called him by the nickname "binnie" and thanked him with a playful wink, saying, "Thanks, boys! Thanks, binnie!" You watched as he turned around to look at you, his cheeks turning a shade of pink, while the other boys teased him with playful nudges and laughter.

Never had Kaeya assumed the Gods would favor him. Not after the promise he made, the bonds he shared with both his fathers—his brother, and how easily his patchworked life tore beneath his feet, his right eye a constant reminder of all his failures.
So when Aether, Amber, and Lisa extended a hand toward his figure, purple light enveloping his being, bubbling with warmth that mended the bitterness of his past, and opened his eyes to the heavens—
How could he not become Your believer?
Soon, he would travel the entirety of Mondstat, escaping his duties whilst discovering treasures, receiving divine gifts: goblets, circlets, feathers—and participating in...rather strange rituals. You made him carry a hefty bag of mora and flowers, gems, remants of slain regisvines, to the zenith of Starsnatch Cliff before imbuing him with unknown strength that coarsed through his veins.
Aether called it an "initiation", to forever be acquainted with divine blessings, to be Yours. He affirmed the sole reason he'd been able to save Dvalin, the entirety of Mondstat, was due to You, granting him the privilege of becoming a vessel.
"...Vessel, huh?" The word stuck to his tongue like a bitter saccharine. Even worse--You seemingly vanished, leaving he and his comrades hollowed by Your absence. After a desperate letter and trek sent back home, the reception back in the City of Wind was nothing less than suffocating.
A small gathering of vision wielders greeted them at the gate, welcoming them home. Yet, the sun never penetrated his body. The bite of sheer cold blossomed in his veins, making him tremble with every step he took—the first of many which he had to be conscious of; and breathing, keeping his heart beating, leaving him winded and dizzy. Your gaze took away his autonomy, rendering him a spectator in his own corpse, but You left him with the most joyous of dreams and slumbers; abandoning him forced everything back into his muscles, and he scrambled to remember what it was like to be alive without you. However, that was hardly the worst part.
His friends who cheered at his safety—
their smiles did not meet their eyes.
Instead, replaced was envy, resentment, and the brewing notion that he was a fraud, tricking the Creator and seducing You into loving him. They swirled, in vile concoctions, behind each of their pupils. Yet they paraded around him like he, himself, was divinity. Did they all wish he never came back? Would they tear each other apart for a chance at Your Grace?
Maybe his death was an opportune moment.
Unfortunately, he lived.
"Welcome back, everyone. I'm glad the Creator brought you back safe and sound." Jean bowed slightly, relief written on her lips.
"Hmm...go on and rest for now. Tommorow, you can tell us what all your travels uncovered." Albedo smiled, nodding at him and Lisa in particular.
Klee bounced on the soles of her heels, waving her hands to the weary travelers. "Yay! Kaeya's back! And Amber and Lisa and Mr. Honorary knight!" she cheered, beaming.
"Ah...why don't we all go back to the cathedral? I can heal you all of any injuries!" the deaconess suggested, a strain of a smile forming on her face.
"...Welcome back," Diluc muttered, most likely dragged along by the Acting Grand Master.
"Hey, on the way there, why don't I sing you all a song? No wine in exchange!" The enigmatic bard hummed, giving them all a wink.
Kaeya heaved a ragged breath, forcing a small laugh out his lips. "Sorry, but I think I'll pass. I'd much rather rest at Angel's Share," he responded, ignoring the pointed glare from a certain redhead. "After all, the Creator never afforded us any sort of wine; I'd certainly die if I had to spend another day without it."
"Huh...?" Barbara said, "b-but, Sir Kaeya—"
She was interrupted with a solemn headshake from the librarian.
"None of us are hurt," Lisa reaffirmed, "let him be...We'll tell you everything."
The Calvary Captain huffed, breaking away from the group and stumbling into the tavern, his countenance morphed into the expression he held all those years ago, when he first received his vision.
Haunted.
Nothing had changed since his leave, though there were far less customers than usual. Did the other citizens feel You vanish too? Or was that a curse reserved only for the puppets You deemed fit for control?
"Charles, the strongest, if you please."
Alcohol had left his throat burning, a reprieve from the sudden, chilling, desolation. After his "ascension", he was no longer the same man. In gazing upon him, You stole away a piece of his soul, a void only able to be filled by You and You only.
It wasn't too long before the bar's door opened again.
"What are you up to, Kaeya?" Diluc stayed near the entrance, not bothering to move toward the stools.
"I'm not in the mood," he hissed, downing his glass too quickly to savour.
Diluc forewent the usual quips he'd aim toward his brother, settling in a silent scrutiny. He was never one to favor the Gods. They stood in one another's solitude, drinking until the "Darknight Hero" woke to dusk.
Then, Kaeya was truly alone. Truly, utterly alone, with not even the eyes of which he'd come to expect. After all, he, a barely devoted follower, could never stay in the Divine's gaze forever.
Even so, the ache in Kaeya's heart screamed that the Gods had forsaken him again; being a vessel was far more merciful than being 'Kaeya'. Because if he wasn't a vessel, he was emptier than he'd ever been.
And when Lisa wrote to him, musing about how his Prototype rancour ended up in the hands of the Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing, how strong she was—he knew he'd been discarded.
...
If he were more pious, would You deign to look at him once again?

Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤᘡ ۫ 𖨂 𓈒 🦑 ۟ ៹ 𓂂
being a ceo for Queencard Enterprises is not easy at all. in fact, it was extremely draining. all shuhua wanted to do was relax and have some fun for once. and so, after three long months of leading and marketing and stressing and barely getting any sleep, she finally got that chance.
the strip club, famously known as Club Nxdix, is one of the most high-end hangout spots in seoul, and only the richest of the rich could even get a wiff of the place. it would be a lie to say that shuhua's been saving for this moment, since she used to frequent the area often. she just wanted to relax here again after so long not being able to.
her silky soulful blue dress looked just as shiny as ther disco ball in the dim lighting of the club, as for a second all the millionaire sleaze bags turned their gaze towards her. it was until she gave each man a dominant glare that they remembered who she was, quickly turning their lustful eyes back to the strippers in fear of shuhua wrapping their ties around their necks.
she took her seat in the spot she used to always take, ordering her old usual drink. looking at the performers, she spotted you in this sunning mermaid performance outfit. the rainbow-pink-to-blue coloring adorning your barely covered breasts and crotch looked stunning on you, and the incredible tricks you performed on the pole caught everyone's eye. but what got her the most was the way you performed. it was like you were seducing her to take you right then and there, and she was going to get you.
once you finished your dancing bit and was on the way to ask the men if they'd pay for a private dance, you heard someone quickly interject.
"i'll have that private dance with you," she spoke out. you saw the man you were about to ask starting to protest, which was immediately shut down from the woman's death look. she then turned back to your gaze, spitting out a price tag for the dance that had all the men around you gasp.
liking her attitude, you smirked and nodded. "okay," you obliged. "to room 202".
the room was huge and was definitely for those who paid a hefty sum for the dancer, and shuhua was that person. bills upon bills of constant hundreds were being poured on your body as you seductively swayed your hips to the invisble beat of the outside music, as shuhua suggested you to dance to beat of your own rhythm. when you were about to finish your performance, you were stopped by the woman's hands on your leg.
"um," you chuckeled nervously, even though you didn't mind at all. "customers aren't allowed to touch performers."
they woman smiled to herself, laughing a little before replying to you. "baby, im no ordinary 'customer'," she repeated in air quotes. "i come here all the time, your boss knows me, the older strippers here know me. hell, the shitbags they call rich men out there know me. im yeh shuhua, so i get what and who i want." her hand that rested on your leg traveled up your thigh, lightly gripping it. making you gasp. "and i want you."
to say you were turned on would be the biggest understatement known to mankind. you wanted her, needed her. she gave you more confidence and sense of security more than any other man or woman you've ever been with in and out he club. just as you were about to melt in her touch, shuhua let go of your thigh.
"that is, if you want me to take you."
you desperately wanted to beg for her touch, but you didn't to look as needy as your now soiled panties were feeling.
"see, i have wanted to relieve myself of stress from working so, damn hard," shuhua slurred, slipping her dress off, revealing her braless breasts covered with nipple covers. her thong was the same color as her skin tone, the tease. she wanted to fuck all along, you thought.
"and nothing would feel better than to have a sexy performer help relieve me of my aching back, or aching nipples." she careful popped off the nipple covers, her hard buds on display for you to see before taking off the last of her bottoms. her cock was long and thick, something you haven't seen in a while. you couldn't take it anymore, deciding to join her naked figure on the couch and kneel next to her, waiting for her to tell you what to do next.
shuhua laughed at your current state right next to her, your guard completely let down. "i told you i always get what and who i want," her voice laced with poisonous vixenry. "now, my lovely pet, what do you want?"
you set your head down as your eyes turned up, becoming completely submissive for the woman. "i want to please you, mistress."
her eyes quirked up at the name. "mistress? i like the sound of that." and with that, shuhua guided your lips to her own, kissing with ravenous hunger as her hands were busy toying with your body. you gasped and hummed as your nipples and ass were constantly getting pinched and smacked, the connection between your mouths being a mixture of messiness.
when you two finally detached from each other, shuhua leaned back on the couch and wrapped her hand around herself, stroking it lazily. "do you want to wet my dick with your mouth or that pussy of yours?"
instead of answering, you raised you leg over her hips and squatted down to take her length whole. the stretch felt incredible, and if not for you playing with yourself the other day you wouldnt've been able to handle it. but you did, and shuhua was mesmerized by how tight yet perfect you were around her.
"mm, shit-" you moaned out, her hardness twitching inside you. gosh, she felt amazing.
"wow baby, you feel fucking amazing." she groaned out, her hands connecting with your hips almost instantly. "i wonder how many men have fucked you like this before me." you blushed and looked away shyly, causing shuhua to smile.
she suddenly slapped your ass, making you yelp. "come on, pet. fuck mistress's cock. make her feel good."
with all the strength you could muster, you rolled your hips forwards and backwards on the woman below, getting more turend on with her words of encouragement. soon your rolling turned to full-on bouncing, feeling yourself getting close to cumming on the spot.
shuhua threw her head back, moaning and gasping loudly as she was getting closer and closer to cumming herself. "im gonna cum," she muttered through gritted teeth, her hips moving faster. "fuck, stay still." you were pulled forward as she pistoned her hips in and out of your sopping cunt, with you alomst crying as your orgasm rushed out of you like a gush of wind.
when you felt her thrusts inside you finally stop, you looked down at shuhua, feeling the pearly fluid flow from her cock slowly trickle down your thigh. "did i do good?" you asked shyly.
shuhua nodded. "oh god yes, pet. that was absolutely amazing." she wiped the sweat from her forehead and set her head on the couch, watching you pant on top of her with the remnants of her cum on your thighs. you were starting to feel woozy, trying to catch your breath after such a powerful release. "well, baby, it looks like you're coming home with me tonight."
you sat up and clung onto shuhua, letting the sensations sink in as she ran her fingers through your hair.

Who, me? Call me Aventurine of Stratagems~
Tumblr media
Go ahead, use me as you wish, even stab me in the back when you see fit. Exploitation and treachery are simply tools of the trade. But remember, I don't make deals that don't pay off... So, I hope you don't disappoint me.
Tumblr media
Life is a gamble, but if you play your cards right... you might just win. I could teach you a few tricks, if you'd let me.
I work for the Interastral Peace Corporation-- I manage the Strategic Investment Department, but I always have time for a game and a drink or two. Maybe you should take me out sometime~
I've been called pretty many, many times, much like the stone I share my name with. I suppose it's true, I do seem to be blessed with good looks... but aventurine stones also have a sharp edge, and that's something you'd be better off remembering.
I'm not afraid to place bets on things that I want, and you'll often find that when I bet on something, I'm not usually wrong. Blessed by luck, blessed by fate-- I've heard it all, but I like to think that in someway, this skill, these wins, are all mine because I've earned them.
After all, life is just one grand bet, and I'll always be the final victor.

Shower Thoughts
Pairing: Sniper Mask x Fem!Reader

A/N: That one scene with him in the shower made the anime better. If it wasn't there the anime would be less fun.
Tumblr media
Try as he may sometimes Yuka is forced to admit that no matter how cool he is, he is still just a man, and as such when he sees his girlfriend being badass, and maybe catches a panty shot, he can't help but get excited.
The trick is to keep the horny to himself until he can take care of it without embarrassing himself in the process. Since you lived together, for him it meant trying to rub one out while he's taking a shower.
He's got hot water running down his shoulders, his muscles aching while he rubs his cock up and down desperately, feeling so close yet he just can't seem to finish. He fully knows he's been taking longer then usual in the shower and that you're most likely gonna be calling for him any moment now, but can you blame him?
Call him spoiled but he's gotten used to the warmth of you pussy around his cock, he longs to feel it again. Longs to feel your fluttering walls tightening up around him as his cock pulses with the desire to come.
"Fuck, come on, I'm so close now." Just a few more pumps and he knows he's gonna paint the shower wall white. "Babe." He huffs, tittering on the brink of absolute nirvana.
"Yeah?" You ask, making him yelp and almost trip over as he jumps and whirls around, his hand still firmly holding his cock, now still, "Don't stop for me. You said you were close right?" You smirk as you step into the shower with him, barely leaving enough moving space in there.
"H-How long have you been there?" You could almost see his blush through his mask from how high his voice got.
"I knocked, you called my name, I assumed you heard me. Come to find out you're having a hard time." You press your body against him, your arms going around his neck, fingers passing through his wet hair. Yuka took a deep breath upon feeling your body heat against his hard cock, sending another pulse of lust through it.
His eyes averted from yours, you could see that much, his grip faltered as soon as he looked back, not sure if he should keep going or if you're just teasing him.
Perhaps he needed a little persuasion. You started by kissing his chest, your lips dragging across his skin, leaving goosebumps in your wake. Your hands pushed under the straps of his mask, dragging slowly to the front and lifting it up barely an inch before his hands are gently grasping your wrists and pushing you away. He sighs and shakes his head no.
"You know I'm not allowed to." He pressed your hand to the mouth of his mask, his breath tickling your palm, "I would love to show you my face. I can't imagine it's easy being with someone when you don't know what they look like."
You bite your lower lip, silent for a moment. "I-" It's not the same but tilt his head slightly upwards and you plant a kiss on the corner of his jaw, "I don't care who you are under the mask. I feel in love with you Yuka, for the person you are, not for what you look like under the mask." You pressed another kiss to his jaw, "I just feel that it would be nice to put a face to my fantasies."
Your hand joined his on his cock, slowly moving, when his would slide down your would slide up and then down as his came up. "Guess I'll have to make up for in a different way. Give you something good to remember." This was more like the Yuka you knew, with his smooth voice and rough hands grabbing you by the hips and turning you toward the wall, "Show me how wet you are."
No need for him to say it twice, you already braced one leg on his hip, drawing him close, his cock sliding between your glistening folds, "You have a solo mission tomorrow." He nodded firmly as he lined his cock up with your entrance, "Then you better make this really good Yuka."
That sounded like a challenge.
"I always aim to please. And I never miss." True to his words he thrust his entire length in you with one smooth forward roll of his hips, not stopping until your lower body was flush against his. A wave of shock passed through you from the sudden fullness, a tiniest sting before your pussy started to relax and mold against his cock.
He leaned forward, both hands hooked under your knees to keep your legs spread and to keep you from sliding away as he started to thrust his hard cock in and out, your pussy clenching in an effort to keep him in, he felt so warm, "So good." You gasp, your voice higher then normal.
There's no point in holding back, your moans, gasps, the slapping sounds your bodies make upon contact, that's for the two of you to enjoy to your fullest.
You move your head forward and drag your lips and tongue across his neck and shoulder. You lick the spot once, twice, before sinking your teeth into him, "I love it when you're like this. Go ahead sweetheart, mark me up." His hips jolt forward faster as he offers you more of his neck, "Makes you all hot to see me like that, even your pussy is possessive. It doesn't want to let go of my cock, not when it's being pounded good."
"What can I say? I'm a greedy woman." You clench more firmly around him as you suck another mark onto Yuka's neck, right where you know it'll peak out of his suit. "Can you blame me? You and your cock are the only good things about this damned place."
Feeling emboldened and spurred on by your words he grunted, his hips snapping into yours, his cock dragging along your walls, drops of cum giving you a taste of what's about to follow. With every roll of his hips you moaned harder, your moans no longer muffled against his neck as you threw your head back.
Yuka rubbed his mask along your neck, he wanted to mark you too, and since he couldn't do it with his mouth he would do it another way, with his cum.
He was already close when you interrupted him earlier, it's a miracle he lasted this long after he edged himself, you were so warm and tight and his cock fit inside you nicely, he had to be close, he was twitching so much, not just his cock but his entire body screamed with the need to come.
"What are you waiting for? I thought you were gonna mark me." Maybe he needs a little push. "I'm certainly ready to mark you some more." Your nails dig into his back, leaving pink marks as you arch your back, your cunt fluttering around his cock.
A more of push was exactly what he needed because a few more thrusts later and he's burred balls deep and shooting his hot load into you, his hips twitching as he does so. A lot of it is gonna get washed away when he pulls out, it doesn't matter because you feel the warm flood pulling you from heaven and back into his arms.
"Good boy Yuka. You did so good." You whisper into his ear, one hand still on his back while the other runs through his hair. Your mouth falls open, the lowest of mewls escaping you as he rolls forward in shallow thrusts.
"I did didn't I?" He replies in a smug tone, "Good enough to give you something to think about until I come home tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow and every day after that." You kiss over the hickies you left on his body, "Do you actually want to wash up now?"
"In a minute." Of course. He always liked a little bit of cuddles afterwards. He got so protective over you, he always wants to make sure you have what you need. Which is why he takes on a lot of solo missions in the first place. Your heart melts at that.
Hopefully once you get out of here both of you can make up for stolen time a little more thoroughly.

Your Pursuit of Perfection
Story and Artwork By: @GachaWolfieBloom
Tumblr media
Chapter 7: You Can't Escape Your Fears
Summary: A few months after the events of WOTFI 2023, SMG4 starts having really bad dreams about the "Its gotta be perfect" incident. One night however, his fear allows the nightmares to break through and he gets taken to a horrific dimension. He finally meets the tv adware, who manipulates him into returning to his insane ways, intent on claiming much more than the perfect video. Now it's up to his friends to stop this madness and save SMG4. Can they do it in time or will they lose SMG4 forever? (In case you are unaware this is a sequel to the its gotta be perfect movie)
Tags: angst, its gotta be perfect, love confession, luigi, mario, meggy, melony, nightmares, scary, smg3, smg4, smg34, smg3 x smg4, tari, tv adware
Saiko was putting on a rock concert for all the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. She thought she was doing well until the crowd started to turn on her. A chanting of booing came from the crowd and they all shouted mean insults.
"You suck!"
"I wasted my time on this!?"
"You'll never become a rockstar!"
Saiko could feel her fear overcome her until someone jumped onto the stage. "Saiko! It's not real!" Three had come to save her along with One and Two. "No! Look at this! I'll never achieve my dream of being a famous rockstar!" One tried to persuade her that this was all fake. "This is all just a nightmare. See?" Saiko turned to see how the crowd had a shadowy look to it. Of course! The mist of nightmares. "My fear is what's causing this?" Gaining back her confidence, Saiko picked up her guitar and shouted "I AM NOT AFRAID OF YOU MONSTERS!!!" She had escaped the smoke and was back with the other three.
Mario was despairing as the world had run out of spaghetti. Three came crashing through the door and yelled "Mario snap out of it! It's just a nightmare!" He was still shaking as he said through his tears "But...Mario will never be with his true love again..." Saiko used her hammer to slam through. "Wake up Mario! We need your help!" He remembered how much he loved his friends and how he really wanted to save Smg4. He stood up and screamed "You think you can scare Mario with your dumb tricks. Well guess what? Mario is strong and he will not let you control him!" The scene faded away as he hugged his friends and thanked them for saving him.
Tari was surrounded by hundreds of angry ducks. "I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you all. I just love you so much." The ducks didn't listen as they inched closer. Mario hurdled into the room with a gun and said "Freeze!" Three came up behind him with Saiko and said "Tari those ducks are stupid fakers!" Mario grabbed one and shook it with all his might. "FAKER!" Tari was still panicked induced as she still defended her "little friends." "No. They are just scared. I should have treated them better." Saiko pulled out her hammer as the ducks attacked her. "Look around Tari! This is just the work of the nightmare mist!" Tari gasped as she said "How could they?"
Bob was trying to be a successful rapper, but nobody supported him. All the friends that he had made over the years went back to their old ways of rejecting him and pushing him aside. Even Birdo didn't think he was cool anymore. He was about to give up when he heard clapping in the distance. Mario was supporting Bob and the others had came to get him. "This is just a nightmare Bob!" Saiko questionably said "Your worst fear is being rejected from rapping?" Bob tried to deny it. "NO." Saiko then knew what to do to snap him out of his nightmares. "Then prove it." Bob took his microphone and smashed it on the ground. "SHUT UP! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!"
Melony's nightmare was taking a huge hit on her. She had failed to rescue Axol and now she was all alone. Zer0 had won and killed all of her friends. Just then a huge team of heroes stepped in to fight the eldritch monster. "Melony help us!" Tari called out as she looked up from her tears. "B-b-but Axol i-i-is..." Saiko sighed and said "I know. But we defeated Zer0 and we can defeat this nightmare as well." Melony rubbed her tears and inquired "This is a nightmare?" She turned to the huge creature and remembered how she saved all her friends in 2021 and 2022. That filled her with determination, as she pulled out her sword and ended the life of this bad dream.
Luigi was running his successful flower shop until he got terrible news that it was being shut down forever. He curled up into a ball on the ground and started crying. "Luigi!" He looked up to see who that familiar voice belonged to. "Wake up!" shouted Mario as he kept slapping his brother on the face. "What about my flower shop?" Tari stood in a confident pose and told him "Remember when Meggy coached us. Don't let her or your friends down. I faced my fears and so can you!" Luigi remembered Meggy's final assignment as a flashback of her giving him a thumbs up was playing and Boopkins was dressed in her beanie and headphones. He got up with a determined face and yelled "You're just a stupid nightmare! You don't scare me!"
Boopkins was crying while holding a picture of him and JubJub. Bob burst in and said "LET'S GO BOOPKINS!" He turned and said "I failed on protecting my brother. I'll never see him again." Bob rolled his eyes and said "BEING SAD ISN'T AN EXCUSE! GET A MOVE ON!" Boopkins wiped tears from his eyes. "THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!" Boopkins looked around and realized that it was. JubJub was back home and safe. Boopkins threw his arms in the air and yelled "I am not afraid!" Bob watched and then turned to the camera. "DANG BOB. YOU'RE A NATURAL."
There was only one person left...
Meggy had lost the big game of splatfest. The crowd was yelling in disbelief and Desti looked at her. "You promised to win splatfest for me." One Shot Wren shook his head and said "I expected better things from you kid." She held her head in her hands and whispered "I tried. I really did try." Her friends came running into the stadium. "Meggy snap out of it! It's only your fear!" Three tried to call out to her, but the opposing team started shooting them with their splatshots. While they all tried to avoid it, Three said to them "You distract them while I try to save Meggy." Bob immediately pulled out his grenade launcher and says "NOW YOU'LL SEE HOW A TRUE ATHLETE DOES IT!" Three slipped through the crowd up to Meggy, but the nightmare versions of Desti and Wren stopped him.
They tried to punch and kick him, so he thew them off the ledge. "Get out of here you stupid nightmare creatures." He ran up to her and tried to snap her out of it. "Meggy let's go now!" Her eyes were still full of tears as she whimpered "I lost. I'm a failure. I deserve this..." Three stopped in his tracks when he heard what Meggy said. "Believe me, I know how that feels." Three mumbled as Meggy looked up. "All those times I was lost in thought, it was about Four. My worst fear is that I failed to protect him and he died because of me." Meggy didn't move an inch.
"I just don't want to lose him...or you." He looks towards the ground, but then feels a warm embrace. Meggy hugs him and says "Thank you Three. I don't want to lose you either." He smiles and puts his arms around her as well. After a few seconds he pushes Meggy away from him and reverts back to his tsundere behavior. "Okay that's enough. Give me some space squid." She giggles and looks down to see that the rest of her friends are in trouble. She grabs her splatshot and fires at all the inklings. Once she defeats them, the scene melts away and they all find themselves back in the Nightmare realm.
They weren't alone as the icky creatures were surrounding them. "Ooooo very scary goop." Mario said, wriggling his fingers. They then see a man with a tv head come out of the shadows. "But some of you still are." He said as he directed his attention to Three. "Isn't that right Smg3?" He backed up, but didn't let his guard down. "I won't believe your dirty lies." The smile on the screen did not fade away. It actually got a bit wider. "But there is something you fear. If you surrender, I might be willing to spare your little friends."
An uneasy expression went across his face as the TV Adware continued. "After all they have done for you, this is how you repay them? Taking Smg4 away from them?" Darkness crept closer as Three yelled out in a state of defeat "No! They did nothing wrong! I'm the one who deserves this! I will-" He was about to make a deal with the Adware till Meggy stopped him. "NO! Smg3, you're our friend and you aren't going anywhere. Nobody blames you for what happened."
He stops in shock. "I'm your friend?" They all nodded. "Of course! Mario loves you!" Tari took a gentle approach. "And we know we can trust you." The TV Adware backed up and said in a slick voice "Well I see you have some real friends. Those who would do anything for you."
"This is your last chance. Before they see what you let happen." The others were confused, but Three knew what he meant. "You wouldn't dare..." Only Meggy, Mario, and Three saw their corrupted friend from the inside. Everyone else had taken on the goop outside.
The Adware chuckled and said "Well it seems we are not able to make an...arrangement. Don't worry though. I came prepared. I will get the kingdom I so desperately deserve."
A pink light started to shine through as a figure came up behind him. The creature had pink cracks on his face, his clothes were dirty, and his eyes looked desperately strained. When he was seen clearly in the light, everyone gasped in shock as they all said the same thing. "SMG4!?"
"Now you will all be destroyed and the Mushroom Kingdom will be defenseless! Meet my new friend...NIGHTMARE FOUR!!!"
Your friend is mine now...

I think a continuation of the shrimp mer reader x Floyd would be super interesting, where Floyd finally takes them out and they’re kinda broken but still have this dependency and attachment to Floyd and when everyone else at school sees them they’re like “where have you been?” But the reader doesn’t recognize them
MwahahahahAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!!!!
Here's part 1, shrimple as that
Warning(s): dissociative amnesia(?), yandere floyd
Tumblr media
"Shrimpy, you there?" Floyd asked, tapping the glass of the fish bowl.
You came out from your little hiding spot, and you saw his eyes. You can't remember his name, but you know he's important... he'll give you food, he'll pat your head, he'll let you grab onto his hand and lift you out of the water...
He was so nice to you... he loved you.
"I think you've spent long enough in there. Do ya wanna come to class with me today?" He asked. "C'mon, let's get you outta there."
He dipped his hand into the water, and you immediately latched onto him.
He lifted you out of the water, and placed you down on his desk. He placed down a little medicine cup full of a colourful liquid, and pushed it towards you. Does he want you to drink it?
You drank it. It tasted terrible... but it's probably something that will help you! After all, he wouldn't give you something that would hurt you... would he...?
No. No he wouldn't.
"Aha! Look at you, Shrimpy! You're not shrimp sized anymore!" He happily said. "You sit tight for a sec, alright? I'll go get some clothes for ya~!"
He left his room and left you alone for a while.
You looked to the desk that your little glass bowl was sat upon. Were you really that small before? It's kind of weird to think about...
Eventually he came back with clothes for you. They were your exact size, which you thought was strange... did he have these prepared? Have you been this size before?
"Come on, stand up~!"
You stood up, your legs shaking. You thought you'd have a hard time walking like he does, but... you didn't. You knew how to walk on two legs.
How... strange.
"What's... your name...?" You asked him.
"Ohhhhh no." He said. "Um. Do you, uh, know your name...?"
"It's Shrimpy, right?"
"Fuck. No no no, Shrimpy, your name is (Y/N), got it? I just call you Shrimpy because you're small and... well, a shrimp." He explained. "Alright? So when someone says '(Y/N)', they're talking about you. And my name's Floyd, ok?"
"Ok."
You stayed close to Floyd the whole day. He's the only thing you know.
You heard someone gasp.
"(Y/N)!! There you are!" The person said. "Where've you been? Cay-Cay here's been suuuper worried about you, ya know?" The person had orange hair and green eyes, and a diamond painted under his right eye.
"Um.... w-who are you...?" You asked him.
"...what are you talking about, (Y/N)? You know who I am! Cay-Cay! Cater Diamond! Your friend and classmate!"
"I don't know who you are, I-I'm sorry." You said.
"Uh, Floyd, what's going on with them?"
"Nothing, don't worry about them. C'mon, Shrimpy, let's get to class!"
"No, wait a sec." Cater said. "(Y/N), is everything ok with you? Did you hit your head or something? You're not usually like this..."
"THEY'RE FINE, SEABREAM." Floyd angrily told Cater.
"Alright, I believe ya." Cater sighed. "At least lemme tag along with you for today!"
"Pfft, tag along? Didja forget we're in different classes, Seabream?" Floyd laughed.
"Oh that's no problem at all!" Cater said, pulling out his magic pen. "See? Split Card!"
You watched in amazement as Cater summoned an identical copy of himself.
"Woah! No way!" You said, excited.
"Cay-Cay #2 will go to my class, and I'll follow you two along! No trouble at all!"
"Seabream. It doesn't matter what fancy tricks you pull, you're not following us."
"Why not?" You asked. "He seems fun!!"
"Wha- No, Shrimpy, you-"
"Seeeee, Floyd? (Y/N) wants me to stay~" Cater winked.
"Huh?! No! You can't just-!" Floyd looked back and forth between you and Cater. Your super excited face, and Cater's- who looked like he knew exactly what he had done. "UGH, FINE. But don't you try ANYTHING, Seabream."
You felt like you knew who Cater was for some reason...
And he was so nice to you too...
But... Floyd was getting increasingly more upset.
Thankfully, it was the end of the day.
"Today was fun!" You happily said.
"Well, who says the fun has to end~?" Cater asked. "Why don't you come back to my dorm with me and we can-"
"NO. Sorry, but we've had enough of you for today. Isn't that right, Shrimpy?" Floyd asked, his hands on your shoulders.
"Oh. Um, y-yeah, that's right." You responded. "Sorry Cater."
Cater knew something was wrong. You were acting strange, you claimed to not remember who he was, you were amazed over his unique spell even though you've seen him do it multiple times before, not to mention you've never been around Floyd willingly before.
But Cater also knew there was nothing he could do about it.
All Cater could do was hope that you could save yourself.
But let's be real here, there's no way that's happening.

«𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒? 𝐍𝐀𝐇 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋𝐒/𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐄𝐒»
Tumblr media
╰┈➤ ❝ [no way in hell will I ever fall for him/her!!] ❞
This is Itoshi Sae version
this was originally the collaboration with @asukasjinji​. srry for tagging you btw. 
also to those who sent request to me in my ask box (for the other collaboration...), i am so so sorry because i accidentally deleted everything in my inbox. i do remember some of the characters that were requested so with that i’ll try to make up for it by picking a prompt that is suitable with the character chosen. 
but if you still want what you originally request...i won’t forbid you from requesting once again.
i am very very sorry...i wanted to post this because i just felt like it. and if you have took noticed, i write based on what comes in my head and all of a sudden i have the motivation and ideas to continues this. 
Warnings: tons of swearing,
female reader 
lowercase intended 
mistakes will be fixed once i reread. 
Itoshi Sae, people absolutely love him, adore him but you? No you did not like him. Not a part of you even did. No matter how lucky, talented or intelligent he was, you never liked him. You hated him, you despised him, you disliked him. Anything to do with the word hate you used it on him.
You won't lie, he is attractive yes but he's not a 10 in your book. Your type was mostly for guys who had, the brains, the looks and the personality. Sae had all that except for the personality.
Same goes for sae. He does not like you at all. To tell the truth you had the looks, the intellect, and the talent as well but your personality just wasn't it. Not for him no.
So each and every day, the school will get to hear the daily dose of you and sae bickering, throwing insults. Sometimes even breaking eachother's properties or even anything that can be humiliating to the other.
The only time you had to work out was when you had to work with him along with others in a group or just you and him being partnered only for the sake of both of your grades. I mean you can't fail and neither can he. but some people would say the two of you make a good team since you two are practically unbeatable to them. 
It was finally the day of the trip. You weren't really looking forward for it, no you didn't really want to go but your mother along with you're "friends" wanted you to go and knowing how stubborn your mother and your "friends" are you just agreed.
Now here you are in a room finally getting to relax until you realized that you were paired up with him. "This has to be some sort of mistake..." You mumbled.
"It has to be, roommates are supposed to be with the same gender," you sighed. "I'll call the teacher, and while I'm on the phone I expect silence,"
When he turned his back you mocked him. Did he think you were dumb? Of course you were going to say silent, like what is there to say? You scoffed.
When the call ended, sae groaned out of frustration which by that you can tell it wasn't going to be anything good. "It seems like there was an odd number of guys and girls and we just got paired up by a random chance,"
"You've gotta be kidding me...," You muttered in disbelief. "For once trust me cause I'm not fucking around this time l/n,"
Now this was way worst, not only did you want to be here in Yokohama, but now you were also going to be roommates with the one you absolutely abhore so much.
"by the way you do know there's only one bed right, I'm taking it." He says. "Fuck no! Have you ever heard of first come first serve itoshi?" You asked. Sae looked at you in what morphed like disgust.
"that's ridiculous, what are you? A 5 year old?" Sae mocked you. He then continued to sigh. "Why not this...heads or tails?" He suggested then continued to pull out a coin from his pocket.  
you gasped in disbelief. “how do I know you’re going to even play fair? for all i know you could probably have a trick to land on heads or tails?!” Sae groaned. “you know what? yeah maybe i do have a trick to land on heads or tail, god just call it already,” “fine then heads,”
Sae then proceeded to flip the coin, and it seems like luck chose his side you obviously lost. now here you are sleeping on the goddamn floor. yes you tried sleeping on the sofa but unfortunately it wasn’t comfortable and the floor, wasn’t comfy as well but at least you have more space then the sofa did. but why were you still awake. well maybe because you could not sleep. not many people knew you had insomnia...well more of no one knew about it.
so here you are now in the kitchen eating something. “what the fuck are you up this late?” asked a hoarse voice that startled you. you look to the direction of where the voice came from and it was none other than sae. he looked like he just woke up since his hair was well not neat as you always see it as, and his voice like mentioned was hoarse.
“why do you care,” you answered with a obvious tired voice. sae sighed in return and sat down across from you. “I’m not that big of an asshole, and I don’t really see anything wrong in being concerned of my roommate,” you groaned. Sae sat down on the seat across from you. He proceeds to raise a brow at you awaiting for a response to his previous question.
“i have sleeping problems...” you mumbled. but unfortunate to you, sae heard it as muffled noises. “come again?” “i have sleeping problems...” this time he heard you. it was silent for a while so you felt hesitant to say something else. “look if you plan to make fun of me go ahea-,” “do you perhaps want to rant about it..?” he cut you off with the most rarest yet shocking question. you look at him wide eyed while he looked at you with a questioning look. 
“everytime i sleep...i just somehow get nightmares all the time, so sometimes i usually end up pulling an all nighter,” you held in you’re breathe quite hesitant to tell him. it seems like sae noticed your discomfort. “look l/n if you feel uncomfortable to open up its fine...just tell me what makes you fall asleep without having nightmares and i’ll think of something.” 
hearing him said that for some reason reassured you. “well usually my little sister would manage to make me fall asleep..cause her cuddling me while she’s asleep just reassures me and i end up falling asleep,” you muttered knowing sae was going to tease you or laughed at you. 
but little did you know, you didn’t notice sae standing up and went behind you. you were brought back out of space when you realized sae had carried you over his shoulders. “the hell you doing?! put me down this instant itoshi,” you hissed at him “can you please stop squirming? i’m trying to help you here,” he grumbled. knowing you can’t escape you instead just gave up and let him do his thing. 
you closed your eyes only due to exhaustion but you weren’t going to asleep. suddenly you felt yourself being tucked in. you opened your eyes to see that sae had tucked you in the bed he had won over. another thing you didn’t expect was to feel a pair of arms draped over your figure to embrace you. as much as you don’t want to admit...it did feel comforting. it did feel embarrassing but the warmth comfort he was giving you was slowly making you fall asleep.
“what are you doing?” you whispered. “you said the comfort of an embrace makes you fall asleep..i’m just doing what you said..” his voiced was quite muffled but you could hear it clearly. “also you better keep you’re mouth shut about this..” you laughed softly. “my lips are sealed prodigy,” “believe me when i say this will be the only time i’ll be nice you you...and you also owe me,” you look behind to take a glimpse of sae. you sighed. “i guess i do owe you..”  you slowly closed you’re eyes...and before you fully fall asleep you heard something you will never forget for sure. 
“sleep well l/n..” 
It was officially day one. Today our teachers just told us that we'll go sight seeing in groups...but let's not forget that there's and odd numbers of guys and girls. Because of that lets just keep it short and say that you and sae got paired up while others had groups. Why? Honestly you don't know, it was the teachers after all and because of that...all eyes are on you two.
So now here you and sae are walking in the streets while holding a brochure of places to visit in yokohama. It was quite awkward since after all you don't really know what to say.
"if you keep spacing off, you might actually hit your head on a pole," sae spoke. You scoffed at him. "I'd actually rather get hit by a pole then walk with you right now.."
"so where'd you like to go?" He asked. "I thought you told me that my opinion does not matter, remember itoshi?" Sae rolled his eyes. "Don't use my words against me l/n...just where'd you rather go?" He then gave you the brochure so you can take a look at it.
"well there's a lot of interesting places..." You mumbled. "Just pick the one that catches your eye," he says. “well we’re not technically around the teachers soo...” sae looked at you and he could see the clear mischievous smile you had. “what is it that you’re planning L/n..?”  
“well i thought maybe we could just sit down and get to know each other in a nearby caffe,” sae looked at you and rose a brow. “that is weird of you to suggest but i’m not really against it,” 
“great lets get going then!” 
-
now here you and sae were, in an ordinary caffe. it wasn’t too crowded which was just perfect. the atmosphere itself was calming. the two of you had already sat down with the drinks and desserts. but it was quite awkward since you two seemed like you didn’t know where to start. 
“did you drag me here to get to know me or was it to drain your own money on food?” you glared at him. “oh please itoshi of course i didn’t--” “sae,” 
‘huh?’ you thought. sae saw that you were clearly confused so he spoke up. “you want to get to know me right? then start off by addresing me by my first name,” your cheeks were starting to look pink. why the hell was it turning pink? is what you complained in your head. “oh yeah alright ito-i mean sae,” 
you swore your ears were deceiving you as well. you did not just hear the itoshi sae chuckle. “so where would you like to start hmm miss y/n?” you knew he was trying to tease you and he successfully did. 
‘oh i am so getting you back for this..”  
Tumblr media
i just wanted to post this. and the again to those who had sent the prompt request in my ask box i am so so sorry. i know i say sorry too much. 
reblogs are highly appreciated 
do not steal or copy my works....

Thanks so much for the tag @illarian-rambling!
OC Interview!
I was a little unsure of what character of mine to do. But I decided to do the second most important main character of mine, and one of my favourite little gremlins, Dusk!
1. Are you named after anyone?
"No. I'm not named after anyone. Even my old name wasn't either, as far as I'm aware."
2. When was the last time you cried?
"...Probably not since I regained my memory. That... that broke me a little I think. Nothing could really compare to that, and I hope nothing does."
3. Do you have kids?
"Hahaha, do I have kids? I know I'm fairly young, but I'm not exactly looking for that. I don't think I've considered having kids before... Actually, I don't think I've ever considered settling down."
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
"As much as anyone else I guess. It gets a bit boring having to be so serious and focused all the time. Although, I don't want to ever be as laid back as Zenith. I don't think that man has a single serious bone in his body."
5. What's the first thing you notice about people?
"Their eyes. Well, of course, I notice their appearance and outfit first. But I take note of their eyes first."
6. What's your eye colour?
"I- It's hard to explain. Dawn once described it as 'A mirror, reflecting every possible colour'. It's not really a colour, but what do you expect? I've died once before, I'm not exactly normal."
7. Scary movies or happy endings?
"I don't think any scary movie could compare to what I've lived through and done before. That being said, I like a good happy ending. It's something to cheer me up."
8. Any special talents?
"*sigh* Everybody has innate abilities or attributes, of course. So saying 'Oh, I can create light!', it doesn't really mean much... I guess I can't bleed? Or do you mean like a party trick? Because I don't have anything like that, if that's what you mean."
9. Where were you born?
"In an alley probably. It was on the very outskirts of humanity. The frayed edge of the city, on the border of safety. I don't remember much of it though, left that place around... six I think?"
10. Do you have any pets?
"No... don't know where I'd get one either. Most normal animals are extinct, and good luck trying to tame an Unholy one."
11. What sort of sports do you play?
"None, but if I were to play one... What's it called when two people fight with swords as a sport? Duelling? I guess I'd do that."
12. How tall are you?
"I don't know... last I checked I think it was right under 180 centimetres. 178 maybe?"
13. What was your favorite subject in school?
"Never went to school. I do like learning about history though."
14. What is your dream job?
"...Maybe, the owner of a small cafe. Hearing stories, getting to know the regulars. Sounds nice..."
.
As for the tags, I'll tag @decadentpandawasteland, @xenascribbles, @mk-writes-stuff, and anyone else that wants to of course ❤
Blanks:
1. Are you named after anyone?
2. When was the last time you cried?
3. Do you have kids?
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
5. What's the first thing you notice about people?
6. What's your eye colour?
7. Scary movies or happy endings?
8. Any special talents?
9. Where were you born?
10. Do you have any pets?
11. What sort of sports do you play?
12. How tall are you?
13. What was your favorite subject in school?
14. What is your dream job?

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks for the tag @esmealux ❤️❤️
How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 29 works on AO3. I've been working on a new Lucifer fic for the past 2 years on and off (mostly off) and that'll be my 30th on the site. However, I do have 63 works on ff.net (29 of them are the same) from various fandoms.
What's your total AO3 word count? As of right now, I have a word count of 179,925 words on AO3. I know that total is sometimes some writers' word count for a single fic. ;)
What fandoms do you write for?
Right now, it's mainly Lucifer (and Supernatural). I've been writing fanfics since I was a sophomore in high school. On ff.net I have written for (in no particular order): Bewitched, The Big Bang Theory, Castle, Doctor Who, Forever, Heroes, Jimmy Neutron, Lucifer, Smallville, Supernatural, Timeless, and Will & Grace.
Top five fics by kudos:
The More Things Change... (Lucifer): 1,090 kudos
Been Down This Road Before (Supernatural): 621 kudos
A Unique Guilt Trip (Lucifer): 548 kudos
Trick-Or-Treating Revelations (Lucifer): 543 kudos
Thanks For Listening (Lucifer): 449 kudos
Do you respond to comments?
Yes! I try to respond to every comment if I can... at least on AO3.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't actually write angsty endings. All my fics have happy endings actually. ❤️
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Oh, wow. Since all my fics have happy endings, it's hard to choose just one... for the ones I wrote over a decade ago, honestly, I can't remember... LOL. Read them if you so choose and pick your own. ;)
Do you get hate on fics?
I would get hate on fics on ff.net but thankfully (not so far) on AO3. When I first started writing fanfics, I interpreted some helpful advice AS hate, but it really wasn't. Thankfully the response is mostly positive on my writing. Sometimes I'll still get some "hate" on ff.net, but I still feel an obligation to post there for consistency since I cross-posted since getting an AO3 account.
Do you write smut?
No. (But I read it).
Craziest crossover:
The only crossover I have written was a Castle & Forever crossover that can be found on ff.net and AO3 called Ties That Bind.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
I think somebody wanted to translate one of my older Smallville fics back in the day. Honestly, I can't remember which one or if it came to fruition.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not to my memory, but I used to beta all the time for Smallville. And I was a "consultant" on a fanfic on AO3 from a friend for a Forever and Quantum Leap crossover fic. Plus, I bounce ideas off with fandom friends in the Lucifer fanfiction world. ❤️
All time favorite ship?
Uhhhhhhhhhh... I can't say an all-time favorite ship because I love all of my ships equally. But I'll settle for my top two: Clois (Clark Kent and Lois Lane) and Deckerstar (Chloe Decker and Lucifer Morningstar).
What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I've had a WIP for Sherlock/Sherlolly in my documents for quite a few years. It's a time travel one where Sherlock from post S4 gets sent back to the time between the end of S1 & beginning of S2. I don't think that one is ever gonna be finished to be honest. I never post fics until they're finished anyway, so at least there won't be anybody disappointed. ;)
What are your writing strengths?
I try to pride myself on the characters being written in-character - where the reader can actually picture the actor's expressions, mannerisms, etc - like they're watching an episode. Dialogue is definitely where I excel.
What are your writing weaknesses?
I really suck at descriptions. I'm not gonna lie. I have tried to work on setting the scene and character movements, etc but I still struggle with those factors.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
I'm not really great at it. If the character is known to say words or phrases in another language, I might write it in a few times, but nothing that needs a long translation.
First fandom you wrote in?
Jimmy Neutron (on ff.net) when I was about 16 years old.
Favorite fic you've written?
I have a few, but honestly I'm more proud of my Lucifer stories and my one Supernatural story, so I'd have to go with a tie between my first ever Lucifer fic: The More Things Change... and my Supernatural fic: Been Down This Road Before. And right now the Lucifer fic I've been working on for 2 years is quickly becoming a favorite too. LOL. We'll see if people like it once I've finished it and started posting. ❤️
---------
Tagging a few of my fandom friends: @my-crazy-awesome-sox, @mightbeawriter, @wendeckerstart, @kaykat666, @thewollfgang and anyone else who wants to or feels inclined to do it! And to those that I tagged, please don't feel obliged to do it. Love oo!! ❤️

Thanks for the tag @dyrewrites, this is a new one for me!
ROY G. BIV Color Tag
(Excerpts taken from Mortal God)
I'll tag @somethingclevermahogony @kosmic-kore @melodicwriter and @amandacanwrite!
.
"Can--- Can--- Can you fix--- fix my eyes yet?"
Astra frowned sympathetically at the robot's plea, but shook her head no. It took her a second to remember that, oh right, it couldn't see.
"I gotta get your heart pump all fixed up first," she explained, gesticulating wildly with the red-hot tip of her rune-carved wand. "The line to your eyes ain't in runnin' order, so the runes up there can't be activated, as I figure the presence of your hydraulic fluid doubles as an activation condition for all your bodily runes. Pretty standard trick. Keeps 'em from constantly drawin' on the Veil, which'd be about as much good as a person with all they're muscles constantly contracted. Ya catch all that?"
The robot was silent for a while, leaving only the faint sound of whirring gears and Astra's summoned jazz suite to fill the wagon.
Then, it coughed out, "C-can't say--- say I did."
.
An explosion of incendiary orange burst from the woman’s midsection as Ivander wasted no time in taking advantage of his now-open target. Astra palmed another black ribbon. Those shadows probably had a few seconds at most. She had to be prepared once they started to fade.
Screaming like a princess in a bad stage play, Vermir looked up towards Astra with a trembling lower lip. She seemed about to burst into tears before her scream faded and a low giggle burbled up to take its place.
.
The conner shook his head distastefully, then gestured to a fatigued figure that could've only been an intern to run and grab the records, which she did as a sukly pace. Soon, Ivander was brought back into an enclosed room, decorated with the promised table and chairs, though much to his disappointment, they were the hard wooden kind. Muttonchops went around the room and lit several gas lamps, which cast the sterile space in a steady yellow glow.
"How quaint," Ivander murmured. He hadn't seen a gas lamp in years.
.
But Mashal was right, she did feel beat to shit. And no one had ever bought her flowers before. The witch deemed it a suitable replacement.
"Astra," Mashal called nervously, "what's your favorite color?"
"You ain't gonna like it if I say green, are ya?"
"Try again."
"Purple then."
.
"And how can you tell what I'm thinking?" Ivander challenged dubiously.
"Your face goes all blue. It's easy to tell when a pale bastard like you blushes." Ceyrel tapped the side of her crimson-skinned cheek. "Especially when you have literal blue blood."
.
Ivander looked up at him with those too-blue eyes and the man was surprised to see tears glimmering at the edges. Where before his skin had been pale, his face was now flushed a dark indigo where it wasn't covered by streaks of teal foam. The detective was ashamed, Mashal realized. Ashamed that he couldn't let go, ashamed of what would happen if he did.
.
Mashal looked and could see that the runes on the floor were alight with writhing energy, painting the warehouse in a baleful violet. Like fire, he thought. It was as if the place were burning with purple fire.

Hi
Welcome to my main blog which I like to define as chaos
After the "read more" you'll find quite a lot of information, my other blogs, fandoms I write about and/or reblog content from, and a bit more, but before that I want to make one thing clear
I like to debate a lot, and from time to time I might get into a discussion about a social issue, I like this topic a lot, I'm quite interested in learning to see things from different perspectives, I feel that helps me in my mission called "creating a society in my head where nobody suffers".
That's why I possibly read quite questionable comments, and I'm able to put up with almost anything, there's only one rule: You're not going to attack/insult anyone. Especially someone else. If I see something like that in any post of mine, I'm going to block you. That's possibly the only condition under which I plan to directly block someone (that and bots).
As a bonus, if you see anything on this blog or any of my other blogs that makes you feel uncomfortable, please let me know. Send me a message, ask, whatever
Now for the fun part
Tumblr is my dopamine
I love any interaction that happens on any of my accounts, reblogs, messages, likes, asks, if you do any of those things I probably screamed with excitement when I saw it
In the case of asks and messages, there is the possibility that I am slow to respond, I tend to panic in social interactions
Blogs
If you don't know anything about aftg I really ask you to find out about the trigger warning first, but this is my aftg blog: @neiljostenmakesmyday
Good omens obsession here, good omens obsession there: @im-the-j-in-anthony-j-crowley
Helluva boss and Hazbin hotel over here: @mrfancytalkcreepyvoice
Blog where I sometimes share things about disability: @all-the-things-i
And this is my main blog. I define it as: Chaos
Fandoms
Things you may (or may not) see on this blog:
Good omens
Our flag means death
Interview with the vampire
