My Type
Tumblr media
Oh no! Nanami's wife is just Itadori's type!
Or the story of how, upon meeting Nanami's wife, Itadori just can't take his eyes off her.
Nanami x Reader
Tags: this story was referenced here, but can be read completely alone, she/her pronouns, discussions of body types, Itadori's a bit of a pervert here (but he doesn't actually see anything!! Nanami, however, ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)), typical anime flashing
Tumblr media
Hey Ken: How are you feeling?
You: Like shit My fever got worse after you left
Hey Ken: I'll be home soon. Please take ibuprofen, drink lots of water, and rest as much as you can. I'm finishing up now.
You: I just checked our cabinet We ran out of Bufferin UGHHHH I feel terrible I fucking told Daiki from accounting that he should go home if he was coughing but he said it was fine AND COUGHED IN MY FACE And now look at me
Hey Ken: We're out? I'll pick some up on my way home while I grab our other groceries. Please wait for me until then. Take a nap if you can. You're just going to get more exhausted thinking of the idiots in your office.
You: I looked online, delivery is going to take over an hour I'm getting dizzier I don't want to wait I'm going to go to the Matsukiyo near us to get it myself
Hey Ken: What?
Hey Ken: Don't go. I'll pick it up.
Hey Ken: Darling. Read my messages.
Hey Ken: Pick up the phone.
(10) Missed Calls
Tumblr media
Several moments ago…
Itadori already thought that today got off to a weird start.
To begin with, it wasn't Ijichi in the driver's seat to pick him up today, but Nanamin. It also wasn't the Jujutsu Tech standard vehicle, but a nice, sleek, and expensive Porsche.
"W-Woah! Nanamin!" Itadori called then. Eyes wide and bright at the polished paint that glistened in the heavy sunlight. "Nice ride!" he said giddily, running his fingers across the aerodynamic doors. Popping his head up toward Nanami's window, he said, "This must've cost you a fortune!" And he thought that Gojo-sensei spent crazily.
"It was a gift," Nanami flatly said. The boy gaped at him like a fish. But who would just give away a car like this? They had to be really close — or maybe he had saved some rich guy and he thanked Nanamin by giving him a brand new car! The boy's eyes shone. Maybe one day he could get a nice gift like — "Get in." The doors unlocked.
"Hiya, Ijichi-san! Must be nice not driving for once, huh?" While marveling at the car's clean interior, he hopped into the back seat, feeling the leather under his hands and the cool blast of the AC hit his sweaty hair after being in the summer sun.
"Good morning, Itadori-kun," the dark-haired man said with a nervous smile. The car rumbled beneath them as Nanami turned the engine back on. "Nanami-san is surely giving me a nice change of pace — "
"Our duties will not change," Nanami stated, turning the wheel. "Ijichi-san is still required to do his job, as well as you, Itadori-kun. Don't get distracted." The pink-haired boy pouted in the backseat. "It just so happens that I have urgent errands to run after this, so time is of the essence."
Turning into an alleyway, Nanami smoothly hit the brakes and put the car into park. "Let's go."
Tumblr media
Luckily for him, the curse was a low-level one mostly used for teaching Itadori the ropes, and the two of them managed to exorcise it in record time. For someone who was just thrust into the world of curses several weeks ago, he was doing well. As well as anyone could in his situation.
The boy was still a bumbling newbie, but he had a good head on his shoulders and was a strong opponent for most curses that they dealt with on a daily basis. Lips twitching into a frown, the blond thought that if Gojo didn't poison the youth's mind, surely Yuji would continue having a nice and mature head on his shoulders.
Nanami had to drop Ijichi off at his next assignment, but other than that, all he needed was to drop Itadori off at the college and then he could return to his sick wife. Paperwork still needed to be done, but luckily he could finish that at a later time. Unfortunately, last night you had a major headache and showed signs of an upcoming sickness this morning.
He had just barely convinced you to not do remote work and just take the day off to rest instead. However, as he checked on his messages with you, he found out that you were insisting on double — no, triple mask to go to the pharmacy yourself. All while you had a 37.5-degree fever.
He tried to call you once, thrice, and all of them were left for voicemail.
Cursing inwardly, Nanami leaned his head back on the headrest. Normally, the blond man was the arbiter of restraint and level-headed thinking, but all of that went out the door at the mere thought of his sickly wife dragging herself out in the street to get some medication. Why did you have to be so stubborn?
"My apologies, Itadori-kun." Nanami pushed up his glasses. "I need to take a detour before I drop you off at your dorm. I apologize for the inconvenience."
The boy blinked owlishly. "Oh that's alri — GH!"
Without another word, Nanami quickly turned left, jolting the teen to the side from the momentum, increasing the speed of his vehicle, and raced down the streets.
Within five minutes, Itadori felt like a dog left in the car as his "owner" raced into the nearest grocery store to grab medication, vegetables, and grains for the upcoming, proverbial storm. Even as the cashier tried their hardest to ignore the intense stare of the tall blond man before them, every second that ticked by as they scanned his purchase felt like hours.
As soon as he nearly threw his money on the tray and took all of the grocery bags under his toned arms, Nanami was off again, shifting into drive and ignoring the speed limit all the way back home.
Nanami could've nearly run into his apartment's chain-link garage doors if it had lifted any slower, allowing him access to his own underground parking before he landed in his designated parking spot within three seconds.
Racing out the car, he took all of the grocery bags over one muscular arm and was prepared to run off until he remembered he had a teen in the backseat.
"Itadori-kun," he said hurriedly. "Can you — " The man stopped himself short.
He originally planned to tell the boy to wait for him in the car, but caught sight of the boy's skin gleaming with sweat, reflecting one of the garage's low lights. Summer was brutal right now, with insane humidity that made Itadori's hair damp as if he had just taken a dunk in water. Even though the parking garage was cooler than it was outside, it was still unbearably hot, not to mention cruel, if he had forced the teen to just sit here and deal with it. Itadori had already waited in the hot car when he went out to grab groceries, and although he rolled the windows down, suddenly Nanami remembered all of the articles of puppies and toddlers dying in the back of cars during the summer.
Sighing, the man pushed his glasses up. "Behave yourself. Come with me."
Tumblr media
"Ken?" Eyes wide, you held the door open. Keys were lifted up in the air in the man's hands, but you had beat him to the chase and opened the door before he managed to get the key in the keyhole. "Oh! I didn't know that you were bringing a guest." Stepping back quickly, you realized another person was standing behind your husband. "If I had known, I would've worn a surgeon mask!" Alert, you said. "Hold on, I'll go grab one right now — !"
"No need. We'll make this fast." He was about to take a step forward, but then realized that the student hadn't moved an inch ever since you opened the door. "Itadori-kun?"
As still as a statue, pink slowly rose from the boy's neck all the way up to the tips of his ears. He couldn't rip his gaze from you for even a second. Although your hair wasn't done and your face was covered, he could tell just how beautiful you were.
Furthermore, you looked just like the pin-up models he had in his room — you were just his type! Your little chemise barely ended at the middle of your thigh, and although everything important was covered up, it left little to the imagination with how the fabric hugged your waist and hips. As you held the door open for them and leaned forward, the loose triangle top of your nightgown was teasing him with the exposed curves and valleys of your chest.
You were too hot!
"Itadori-kun," Nanami repeated, irritated.
Way too hot for Nanamin!
"Nanamin! You didn't tell me that you were married!" Eyes nearly bugging out of their sockets, Itadori almost thought they had gotten the wrong apartment when you had just opened the door. While his mentor was an attractive man, it was like a mountain and a molehill to the teenager. Not to mention that this strict and serious ex-salaryman was hitched! To a babe no less!
Certainly, you didn't marry for personality!
He couldn't imagine what your daily life was like while Nanamin talked about doing the bare minimum and never smiled.
Raising an eyebrow, Nanami followed Itadori's stare to your state of dress. You weren't even wearing your indoor slippers, and you were absolutely breathtaking even if you had a dark clay mask over your face. He wasn't an idiot, and he could feel his blood vessels pumping harshly. Trying to remind himself with mantras of how Itadori was just a stupid, hormonal teenager, and you could dress how you wanted, and that he especially couldn't beat up Itadori. Pinching his nose bridge, the man couldn't even look at the boy. "My personal life and my work life are completely separate. I wouldn't anno — !"
"But you don't even wear a wedding ring!" Itadori insisted.
"Why would I wear my rings when my daily job involves fighting and getting messy?" Nanami rhetorically asked, stepping through your door with all the groceries in one go. "Wedding and engagement rings are investments, and I'd be damned if I lose my rings and be forced to inflate the wedding ring industry any more than I already have."
Grinning, you beamed at Itadori. Only you really know how seriously Nanami took the "three month's salary on rings" tradition, especially on his sorcerer's salary. "Now you know, Itadori-kun! If you catch him committing adultery while he's out without his ring, you'll shank him for me, right?" Placing both of your hands on your husband's waist, you laughed when you playfully tried to shake him. Of course, that didn't do much. Your man continued to stand there like a stone statue, as if you tried to rock a brick wall while he remained wholly unamused.
From your weak roughhousing, all that managed to do was drop your spaghetti strap from your shoulder. With your dress threatening to slip, Nanami sighed and quickly stood in front of you, blocking your body from Itadori's gaze. He carefully and slowly pulled your shoulder strap back up your body before you managed to flash the poor teen. When you looked up, his brown eyes met with yours.
Gently rubbing your bare shoulder with his large hand, he asked, "I thought you said you were going to Matsukiyo?"
"I was," you rasped out, voice raw from all the coughing you did. "But then I took one step outside and it was too damn hot." Laughing weakly, you said, "I slunk back like a vampire the second the humidity hit me."
The man sighed deeply, and his shoulders dropped in relief and exhaustion. While he ran around like a chicken with its head cut off from worry, he was glad that you ended up not going out after all.
"Why didn't you pick up my calls?" he said deeply, leaning in close enough for you to feel his breath on your ear.
"I was making okayu with kombu," you explained. "Sorry," you said genuinely, "that's all I managed to make for our dinner today."
"I'm upset that you cooked in the first place," Nanami scolded. "You should be resting. I said I'd take care of it. Why were you in the kitchen when the hot fumes could make your fever even worse?" Turning away from his nagging, you pouted.
"I'm hungry though…" you mumbled, far too much like a spoiled child, and Nanami was sure, in some way, that you were spoiled, of his making too. He always prioritized you and let you have your way. "And I already ate the miyeok guk you made."
"You could've ordered delivery," the man countered.
"Nothing interested me there."
Inhaling deeply once more, Nanami tried to calm the upcoming headache he felt. There was no point in arguing with you, not when you were coughing and sick like this. "Stay here. I'm going to whip up a bowl of okayu to have with your medicine," the man ordered before he picked up a blanket you had draped over one of your couches and wrapped you in it like a burrito. When you opened your mouth, your husband only sternly repeated, "Stay."
Playfully rolling your eyes when he left to go to the kitchen, you puffed out your cheeks in mock irritation. Closing the door to your apartment so the AC couldn't escape anymore, you turned to the teen who was standing awkwardly in your home.
"Aw I'm sorry," you said, voice sounding like sandpaper again. "You know, Kento's kinda strict, but I assure you he's a good man," you said gently. "Thank you so much for taking care of him."
"M-Me?" Itadori sputtered. "I'm not the one taking care of him! He takes care of me! Um…" The boy grew demure when he realized he had no way to address you.
"Oh," you realized you didn't introduce yourself. "I apologize! I totally forgot! I know you since Ken talks about you and Ino all the time, but I didn't realize you didn't know me!"
Itadori gasped. "He talks about me?!"
"Of course! All good things!" you assured. "Even though Kento seems like a meanie, he's a genuine person and wouldn't exaggerate, so he wouldn't praise you unless he absolutely meant it." You knew that this was the teen that hosted Sukuna, the King of Curses. It was a heavy burden for someone who wasn't even an adult yet, and your heart grew heavy at the thought of this boy's fate.
"Before I forget…" Quickly, you ran to your bathroom and cleaned off your clay face mask before you returned with your bare face wet and a cloth Pompompurin headband keeping your hair out of the way. "I need to introduce myself."
Now Itadori was sure that you two were married with the way you introduced yourself nearly identically to your husband. With your back straight and shoulders squared, hands flat, and arms straight at your side, you closed your eyes and bowed.
"Pleased to make your acquaintance, Itadori-kun." You acquired your business card out of thin air and held it out for the boy. "My name is Nanami [Name], and I'm a senior project manager at Yurukawa Corp. If you or your friends ever get tired of exorcising curses and want to look into engineering, you can ask me!"
Huh?
It was too silent.
When you rose and looked up, you realized that your husband had suddenly materialized out of nowhere. Standing in between you and Itadori, your husband's stern expression could freeze hell over as he stared down at Itadori with a frown, arm outstretched and his hand held up — right where Itadori's eyes would've seen your cleavage when you bent over to bow.
"Itadori-kun."
"Y-Yes!"
"We are going. Now."
Tumblr media
The car was completely silent the entire way to the dorm rooms. Quickly shifting the car into park, Itadori jumped at the sudden stop.
No one said a word. The entire ride felt like the air was heavy enough to drown in.
"Itadori-kun." Nanami's eyes were hidden by the reflection in his glasses.
"…Yes?" the boy squeaked out, pressing his index fingers together.
"Never ogle my wife again."

hiii i love your for tuna series!!! your writing is so awesome!!
i saw that your requests where open so
is it okay if i request y/n/yuu meeting their friend from their world in twisted Wonderland? it could go really angsty or be like really funny.
Lean on Me
A/N: hey nonnie. I had a rough week, so I went for funny. I refer to friends as Friend One, and friend two, so you can fill in whoever you want.
Special thanks to@wolken-himmel for allowing me to live out my fantasies, and use her oc Esme. 😁 This is me formally asking for your blessing for our wedding.
3k followers masterlist
It  had started as a normal day. Well sort of. It wasn't often the RSA students were allowed on NRC turf without being murdered. Azul Ashengrotto, ever the business man, was hosting an RSA/NRC karaoke night at the lounge.
You wouldn't have even gone…but you heard he would be there.
Esme Devance. The prettiest man you had ever seen. If he asked you to jump off a bridge, you'd do it, just to get a glimpse of that mischievous smile.
And the way your first year friends insisted he was terrible and you shouldn't even look at him, you knew he might be a little interested in you as well.
You sipped a glittering purple drink, and saw his distinct head of hair, held back by a purple bandana, move through the crowd. You walked over to him.
"Well, I'll be. Didn't think you show your face here, Esme Devance."
He turned around with a grin. "I brought a bodyguard. But they'll double as a decoy when I ask you to sing with me. Y/N, meet our hero. Friend One." 
As friend one turned to greet you, you dropped the glass in your hand, shattered glass, and purple liquid spreading quickly around your feet.
"Y/N! You're here too?" They gasped, moving to hug you tightly.
"How can this be happening? Are you even real?"
"So all three of us are here?"
"Three?!?!"
Friend one pulled out his phone, which you quickly noticed was far nicer than yours, and flashed a pic of them with Friend Two in front of Noble Bell.
"What!" You shouted.
"I tried to convince their headmaster to transfer them to RSA so that the two, now three, of us non magic people could be comfortable, byt it was a no go."
You remembered Esme was here, and looked up at him, his head tilted to the side.
"Now that I think about it, how did no one put the fact that you both showed up from another dimension, on the same day, together?"
It…it did seem kind of stupid. But considering your headmage was incompetent, and didn't even know about Friend One, you could wave that one away.
"Well, we have space in Ramshackle, if you want to transfer here."
Both friend one and Esme grimaced.
"Look, Y/N. It's not about you or anything. It's just, I have kind of a bias towards RSA, and would rather you transfer there."
"I would like that too," Esme grinned, and friend one noticed the crush for the first time.
"Well I'd have to bring my cat," you pouted, leaving out the riot that would start if you tried to leave.
"Cat?"
The timing couldn't have been more perfect said cat and your friends to start yelling your name and shoving students out of their way.
"Y/N!"
"Hench human, we need you! Desperately!" Grim said with a growl as he crawled his way up your front, hissing at Esme for good measure.
"I'm going through something right now. What could you possibly need?" You groaned, scratching Grim's ears out of habit.
"Um…" he and the other first years, save for Jack who seemed wildly embarrassed, shared scared glances.
"We didn't get that far…" Epel muttered, earning an elbow in the side from Ace.
"Uh huh. Well friends, this is friend one. From my world."
Their eyes all widened. Deuce grabbed your arm.
"Does that mean you can go home? Please don't go, prefect!"
"Human! I will chain you down if I have to!"
"No fucking way can you leave in the middle of the year!"
You made eye contact with friend one, mouthing 'help'. Meanwhile, friend one took a step behind Esme. Maybe transferring to RSA wouldn't be that bad….
"No! Friend One has been here as long as I have! So we have to ask Crowley if he knows what that could mean!"
"We should get Friend Two over here. This concerns them as well." 
"Yeah cause it's so easy to just pop on over for a visit," you rolled your eyes.
Esme and friend one shared a side eye.
"Don't worry about it," they said, calling friend two 
….
"Heh heh, well, you see, it's meant to be an exchange program of sorts."
"Sorry?"
"Right now, three mages are attending college at a non magical university."
The three of you stared, jaws on the floor. Finally, friend one asked what was on all your minds.
"Isn't this illegal? Like aren't we supposed to fill out paperwork, and give consent for an exchange program?"
"Did the mages give consent? Are they even still alive? Our world has a tendency to cut things open that it doesn't understand," friend two's voice was laced with concern.
"They were alive and well last we checked."
'Wait! You can check! So we're not fucking stuck here!"
'Sevens!" All three of you shouted.
"Aw look how well they've adapted to the culture!" Crowley said with a sob.
"This whole project is about peace!" Ambrose, headmage of RSA, said, as though it explained everything.
"Why did you lie then?" You said loudly, your other two friends nodding vigorously.
"You certainly would have tried to return home!" Crowley said, Ambrose nodding sagely.
"Duh, we're not stupid," friend two pouted. 
"But think of all the friends you've made along the way!"
"The number of things you've guilted me into, when it was your fault all along, are staggering," you growled, causing the very brave Crowley to flinch in his seat.
"We want to go home. I'm pretty sure you dropped me into some kind of weird religious cult," Friend Two said, the tears rising to their eyes.
"Okay, let's all calm down," Friend One said. "We  don't actually want to go home, we just want to transfer Y/N and friend two to RSA."
"Okay, honestly? I don't know how I feel about going to live with a bunch of rich pricks. I really want you two to transfer to NRC."
"I want to go home!"
"And I am not transferring to a place where my own classmates hypnotize me and lock me in their rooms for nefarious reasons!"
"Where did you even hear that?"
"Your red headed friend told me!"
"Home, home, home!"
Ambrose and Crowley, meanwhile, were allowing the three of you to fight, as they slowly snuck out of the room, heaving a sigh of relief, as they leaned against the closed door.

The Fallen King Part 1: Fortune is Unpredictable
(Or in the wake of Beast Dazai's death, Beast Atsushi becomes the new Port Mafia Boss.)
Akutagawa wasn't sure what to say. He wasn't sure what was more suprising, the Man in Black's story or that he'd taken the fall.
Akutugawa looked over to his... Enemy? He wasn't sure what they were now. The Man in Black had come into his life once again and wrecked it. Only to depart without another word leaving Akutugawa reeling.
He believed him.
He probably shouldn't because the man was a liar through and through. But this Akutugawa knew was the truth. He knew it just like he knew his name.
"You should go." Atsushi finally spoke, but his gaze didn't leave the ground. Where his Boss, his mentor lay unmoving. Akutugawa knew he was right, he was in enemy terrority after all. 
And it wasn't just him, Junichiro was still down there. "There's a backdoor entrance you can take, grab your friend and go." Said Atsushi, finally meeting his gaze.
He didn't look like the White Reaper Akutugawa had been facing prior. Now Atsushi just looked like the kid from the cafe. But unlike than, there was no joy in his eyes.
Akutagawa felt the need to say something comforting, but he didn't know what. He wished Oda was here, he'd know what to say. Instead Akutugawa nodded as the entrances location was given to him.
"We... We need to talk about this." He said finally and Atsushi hummed in agreement. Though it was clear his mind and attention was elsewhere.
"The cafe, a week from now. We can talk than." Akutagawa nodded, they would need time to absorb the news. 'He probably needs the time to grieve' thought Akutugawa.
He made a move to leave before Atsushi spoke once again. "I'll talk to your sister, tell her the truth." Akutugawa turned around so fast it made his head spin.
He looked at Atsushi with suprise on his face but all Atsushi did was smile sadly.
"It's the least I can do."
Akutagawa wanted to question his motives further. But he knew he was out of time, so he left without a word and ran to find Junichiro.
Atsushi watched him leave, before looking back to Dazai. He wanted to shout, he wanted to scream and sob until he physically couldn't anymore.
But Atsushi couldn't.
Dazai had trained him to hold his emotions inside. To think rationally even he was falling apart.
'If I leave, I'll be hunted down for suspicion of killing him. Kyouka will be made an accomplice.' Maybe Dazai had put precautions in place to prevent that.
But Atsushi couldn't work with what he didn't know. In the past he could, but not now. Not when he had to make his own cards to play.
And besides, he had no plans of leaving. 'Maybe I always was just your pawn and nothing more. But you gave me a home here. And I can't let it fall.' Thought Atsushi, his loyalty had always placed Dazai above anything else.
But he was loyal to Kyouka, to Kouyou and Chuuya and the Black Lizards... To the Port Mafia itself.
To walk away was to abandon them all. It was something he couldn't bare to even think about. Dazai's death was wreck everyone, would make the Port Mafia a target.
A new Boss would need to emerge and quickly, especially once news of the Agency's raid came out.
Atsushi's first choice was Chuuya but he knew immediately that wouldn't work. Chuuya might be able to fool himself into thinking otherwise, but Atsushi knew this news would break him.
That the man he'd sworn to protect and serve had died. And in a way he knew Chuuya wouldn't be able to save him. No matter how great his strength. He wouldn't be able to handle this responsibility, not now.
Atsushi went down the list and it was a small one. Kouyou would hate it more than anything. Verlaine would immediately decline and lock himself back in the basement for eternity.
Ace would bankrupt the place and try to enslave everyone.
I guess it'll have to be me' and somehow that thought didn't scare him nearly as much as it should.' Thought Atsushi wasn't feeling much of anything right now.
It was werid to think of himself as qualified for the position. Someone who was only good for killing and nothing more.
But he is... was Dazai's apprentice. He knew the inner workings of the Port Mafia like the back of his hand. Even if he hadn't been directly involved.
"I know you want me to leave, but I hope you accept that I won't." He said, knowing he'd get no response. "
"You can punish me for my disobedience the day we find each other again."
Atsushi turned his back.
"Thank you for everything... Boss."
It was than and only than did Atsushi allow a single tear to fall. He wiped it, schooling his features to hide that moment of weakness.
He walked through the doors which shut behind him.
Instantly Atsushi spotted Kyouka who went to his side immediately. Kyouka studied his expression like a work of literature. Atsushi had becer been more greatful that the two of them could converse without words.
She gently patted his arm, Atsushi had to stop himself from sobbing than and there.
He couldn't afford that.
"I need to call a meeting. I'll catch you up later" Said Atsushi, he wanted to tell her everything but time wasn't on their side.
Luckily, Kyouka understood "go, I'll be with the clean up crew." They exchanged one last look before going their seperate paths.
With practiced ease, Atsushi stealthily maneuvered through the chaos and into Dazai's office. And pressed a button on his desk that would send a message to all the executives phones.
It was used whenever Dazai wanted to summon them all for a meeting. Or configure to only call Chuuya and annoy him with repeated summons late at night.
'And definitely nothing else.' The thought made Atsushi sigh sadly, already feeling nervous. This was not going to be a fun talk. But it needed to be done, he wouldn't shy away from it.
He couldn't afford too.
The news would spread like wild fire and the narrative needed to be sorted out. Controlled by him, to tell enough of the truth but not all. Because if that happened than Atsushi will have failed them all.
The executives began pouring into the room. Chuuya was the first because Atsushi's luck absolutely sucked. He shot him a confused look, noticing Dazai wasn't here to have called the meeting.
Atsushi looked away like the coward he was. "I'll explain everything when the others get here." Chuuya only looked more suspicious but sighed, sitting back in his chair.
Which was right beside where Dazai once sat. 
Kouyou and Verlaine were next, bickering with over some fancy wine. And whether it was truly worth the price.
Chuuya grinned, chiming in and agreeing with Kouyou. Was it because he actually agreed, or because he wanted to piss off Verlaine?
Who knew. 
Atsushi would find this a lot more amusing if he wasn't dreading... everything. Verlaine shot him a questioning look like his brother had. But he was quickly roped into their debate to say much else.
Ace finally arrived which set everyone yelling at him. Karma, his subordinate was there with him. He apologised like the sweet kid he was.
Unlike Ace who was unbothered. He was always late and expected them to accomadate for him. 
"Oh calm down, it's not like the Boss is even here." Said Ace, gesturing around with a smirk. "Speaking off..." Said Chuuya, looking back at Atsushi. "You said you had something to say?"
All eyes were on him now.
Atsushi took a deep breath, anxiety filling him from within and threathing to burst. He could do this, he had to do this.
How would Dazai do this? He'd grab the attention of the entire room and he'd make his point. He'd expect outrage but he'd silence them without a word.
Daring anyone who tried with just a look, before laying down his plan.
'Well, I've got their attention' thought Atsushi. He gestured for Karma to make sure the door was locked and the entrances were secure. Something that was usually his job.
But Karma didn't question him, doing the checks and affirming that the room wasn't bugged.
Atsushi walked from the desk to the head of the table, to Dazai's seat. But he remained stood behind it, as he usually would.
But this was no ordinary meeting. Atsushi eyed them all, the room dropping to a pindrop silence.
"The Boss is dead."

Grocery spree
Summary: short description of boys' behaviour when they are tasked with buying groceries at the local supermarket;
Characters: all students of NRC;
Warnings: no Yuu/reader, no relationships, just ordinary shenanigans;
Side notes: it came to me in a dream (while I was tring to fall asleep extremely late at night but still). I only now realised that I'll need to put 22 names in the tags...
Riddle
— he goes extremely in depth about each item on the shopping list: what brand, price, quantity, quality, size, packaging etc you name it. The answer in likes of "just buy whatever" is not satisfactory!! When Riddle can't find exactly what he was "supposed" to buy, he immediately jumps from one shop to another until he finds what he needs. It's best if he is accompanied by someone...
Trey
— wonderful candidate: no issues, no problems at all. Except don't expect to see cakes, cupcakes, pastries, bread, desserts and such. Why? Well, he can bake everything himself of course. That's why Trey returns with tons of eggs, sugar and flour every time instead. Maybe a few dental care products (just in case) along the way;
Cater
— usually gets everything, even saves up quite a bit of money! Since he is always on Magicam, coupons and discounts are his guiding lights — Cater already has his hands on discount goodies before they are swept away by others. The only problem is that ginger doesn't like carrying shopping bags, so he often searches for whoever is available to shop with him. Buys trendy food of the week for pics;
Ace
— nah, he hates going for groceries, especially if he is alone and he has to give the remaining money back. It's best not to assign him with a chore because Ace will most certainly not only forget half the stuff from the list but the whole list itself. And he will (try to) secretly buy snacks for himself, so ask for receipt and recount change if you want your money to be spend accordingly;
Deuce
— he may not always come back with everything that was on the list but at least he is reliable. Each time he goes to supermarket, Deuce is staggered with how prices have risen, even if not by a lot. He is well versed in grocery shopping thanks to frequently aiding his mom. Checks every egg in the carton box when purchases eggs;
Leona
— do you really expect him of all people to go to supermarket for groceries? Exactly. If by any miracle Leona is going, he hates every second of it. Throws ungodly amount of meat in the cart, very expensive one too. It may look like the beastman doesn't even bat an eye at the price tags, however he does read, it's just he has enough to spend. Hates standing in the queue at the checkout with burning passion, falls asleep mid through;
Ruggie
— the guy just doesn't understand the appeal of supermarkets, you can't even haggle there... At any rate, don't give Ruggie huge budget unless you want to see long boa in place of receipt. If he has no room for grand purchases, he always makes sure to cut himself enough money for a treat from what he was given. Unapologetically eats a lot at food sample stands, even takes some with him if he is able to;
Jack
— safe choice for the most part, not if there is a huge sale or something because then he may unwillingly run into someone rude who will most likely throw him out of loop. Jack is adamant on holding the basket or cart, honestly he likes his role far more than buying things. When he sees anything with pears in it he immediately thinks of his family back home;
Azul
— he would rather "request" aid from someone else but if Azul is to go, he will make sure to make it as useful as possible. He will closely observe different tricks and tactics that the staff uses to sell more goods, for educational purposes naturally. Merman's least favourite aisles with snacks. Seriously, why do they put mountains of cola and chips on full display?? Each time he has to resist the temptations....
Jade
— neat and perfect, on the first glance. Jade's scouting for groceries can end up not as smoothly as it should be, which he doesn't mind per say. Ah, but it's already the fifth supermarket where he has been mistaken for his twin brother and forced to leave. He would rather not go in circles around for a chore, so Jade just verbally "convinces" stuff to relent and let him finally do the shopping;
Floyd
— oh boy, better pray that something good will happen with Floyd or nothing out of ordinary along the way. Because it directly influences which content he brings back — it's hard to pinpoint the exact number of success rates. Since supermarkets are quick to bore him out, the hobby of his is to go straight to the fish aisle to taunt living fish in the aquarium. The merman is banned in several stores already--
Kalim
— oh yeah!! Kalim is not used to going to supermarkets for "reasons", so he is very much thrilled first time around. This excitement is quickly brought down by the set grocery budget. Waaah... turns out buying things with such restrictions is far more difficult than he anticipated. Surprisingly, Kalim bought everything needed, though he did return kind of dejected;
Jamil
— absolutely perfect. The stuff on the list, the time taken, the receipt, the discounts — just all boxes checked. Boom, done. Jamil is truly capable of everything, going to supermarket is not a big deal at all, it's even better in a way than the markets he is so used to attending solely because there are no bugs. What else he needs rather than such great reassurance?
Vil
— he doesn't need to be told to go for groceries as he is buying them for himself anyways. Though Vil prefers to buy fresh vegetables and fruit elsewhere. The problem with going to supermarket is in keeping low profile, unless your face isn't plastered across popular drinkable yogurt brand? Said yogurt is quite tasty and plenty healthy, which is why he had taken up the gig. From bystanders' perspective, Vil looks like someone's mom or aunt with his whole cover get-up;
Rook
— this guy is delighted to go to somewhere like supermarket. Rook prefers to seek and hunt food for himself, but he can't deny this certain allure of the place. He also enjoys watching people's thought process right before his eyes: like how one can easily replace spaghetti with discount cheap liquor in an abundant quantity! This fascinating phenomena does hold him off a bit from his task, but how can he be blamed?
Epel
— not too enthusiastic about going for groceries until it strikes him that he can show off how reliable and strong he is. Okay then, count him in! Shakes his head in disapproval while browsing the fruit section. The choice of food overall is big but not on par with the one in his village in terms quality. It kind of sours his mood... not until his eyes fall onto the cool products that he has never seen before back home;
Idia
— no. Literally, the delivery drones work all the time, same with 24/7 convenience stores. Besides, why would you pick someone with such a low strength stats, are you out of your mind- And here Idia was, in a huge scary supermarket full of people. The fright was so intense that he only bought what was nearest to him and didn't bother looking for other stuff. Almost left fire marks on the floor with how fast he bolted through the self check-out desk;
Ortho
— it's true that technology has advanced enough that it's much less energy consuming to order things online, however going somewhere is just fun! Ortho is really up to it, he can analyze the content of food directly instead of only what's written in the package to better understand nutrition value and he can unwind in general. The boy generally is very helpful too!
Malleus
— never ever has been to supermarket before, so that's definitely a new experience for him. From others' point of view it looked like Malleus has come to an art museum instead: he even stood still for a few minutes listening to music from the speakers. The fae is amazed by the choice of foods that is available, even seeing products he had never encountered back at Briar Valley. He does find queues bothersome, but it's something he could overlook, this time;
Lilia
— like a fish in the sea. Lilia can wander around the store for hours, coming up with all sorts of recipes he could cook! Constantly adds things not on the list and takes away those he deems "unnecessary". If you take a look into his cart, you will never guess what he was going to cook with all those ingredients, none of which can even work together. Buys candy for his children, club members and friends too;
Silver
— are you sure you want him to go? Yes, Silver can indeed complete such simple deed, and yet him falling asleep at any random moment will surely hinder the whole process. If he is still going, the knight then also buys some nuts, vegetables and fruits for his animal friends. Something for lord Malleus, father and Sebek as well, yet often forgets to buy something for himself;
Sebek
— he is so up to it he may forget to take the list with himself, provided the chore was assigned by Malleus or Lilia, or at least anyone Sebek respects for that matter. Believe me, he is not above making a scene if someone takes the last goodie that was on the list, which he deems extremely important, only to cool down when the store worker rolls out the cart full of the thing in question. Thanks Seven neither lord Malleus, master Lilia nor Silver saw his blunder...

The Third Widow Masterlist
Tumblr media
"Nat, there's somebody here to see you" Steve popped his head into the redhead's room, breaking her train of thought, "I'll be down in a moment" she replied as she finished filling out one of the many mission report forms. "It's Y/n" Steve adds, Natasha turned to face him, "send her in and please don't let anybody else up" 
"Of course," he smiles softly before closing the door. Natasha cleaned up her desk a little and checked her mini fridge for a selection of drinks to offer just before she heard your light knock on her door. "Come in" Natasha said with a welcoming smile as you opened the door, "I'm sorry to come unannounced, I was wondering if I could talk to you?" You looked at the older woman with tired eyes. 
"Sure, do you want to talk here, or we can take a walk?" 
"Uhm, here, please" 
"Of course, take a seat anywhere" Nat smiled softly once more, "what's going on?" she asked once you were sat comfortable on the end of her bed. Your eyes looked up at her, "I can't sleep" your eyes dropped to your hands in your lap, "I can't stop thinking about all the things I've done, I mean, made to do" you added, "I don't want to worry the others"
"You're struggling to adjust?" Natasha asked as she sat beside you, "yeah" you sighed. "It's not easy, I'm not going to sugar coat it for you, but I found that talking about it actually helped. It took me a long time to trust anybody enough to share the things I'd done" 
"Did you have nightmares? Did you still hear his voice ringing in your ears?" you looked up at her hoping she understood and to your relief she nodded, "I did and that's one of the reasons I became an Avenger, to make up for the things I did, to try and clear the bad from my name as much as I can before its my time. I know something that might help if you're interested" 
"What is it?" you asked.
"This is something I haven't told anybody, but I help out at the girl's orphanage not far from here. I teach them self-defence and I take them out for the day when I had time off. It might not seem like much but seeing them smile makes it worth it. There's just like how you and I were, how you and Yelena were, girls that just want a chance to do simple things like go to school, get a job, girls that Dreykov would've easily taken if he had a chance" Natasha turned slightly to face you face-to-face. "They would love to meet you and maybe they might be able to help give you some hope that things will be okay, maybe not overnight but over time, things will be okay" she added. 
"I'd like that" you smiled softly at the idea, "C-can I stay here for a few days? I find that Melina's house is a little much for me right now" you asked, Natasha smiled back, "there's always a room here, you can stay here as long as you need. Does Melina know you're here?" 
You nodded, "I'll call her to tell her I'll be here for a few days" 
"I'll do it" Natasha gently rubbed your back, "So, I hear Wanda made a visit last week" She raised a brow, changing the topic just to see you get giddy. "Y-yeah, she jus-just wanted to catch up" you stuttered as you felt the butterflies flutter in your stomach, Nat chuckled at the redness in your cheeks, "come on, I'll show you the spare room"
----
Natasha could hear the discomfort you were in, with your room next to hers it was hard for her not to hear the groans and sleep talking from your nightmare. She hated to invade your privacy, but she remembered when she used to have nightmares just like yours and how she always longed to feel safe again. She made her way quietly into your room, she could see the droplets of sweat pooling from your forehead, the way you kept tossing and turning reminded her of how dark her nightmares were. 
She placed a glass of water on the bedside table and kneeled beside you, "Y/n" she whispered causing you to groan and toss once more, "Y/n, it's just a dream" she added but still, you didn't wake. "I won't do it!" you shouted in your sleep when you felt Natasha pull you close to her, your eyes fluttered open tears instantly falling from them. "It's okay" Natasha rubbed your back while keeping you wrapped her in arms, "it's just a dream" 
"I just want them to stop" you cried, clinging onto your older sister as if this was the last time, you'd ever get to hug her and feel the comfort she was able to bring. "I know and they will, I'm going to help you, I promise" Natasha assured you as she continued to rub your back while you cried yourself back to sleep. Gently she shifted you and laid your head on the pillow while she quickly went back to her room to grab the mission reports she hadn't finished. 
While you slept, Natasha stayed up filling out reports and being there for you with assuring words and comfort for when you woke up again. She didn't mind doing this, she'd had plenty of nights where she didn't sleep, sometimes for nights on end during missions. Natasha kept a count of how many times you woke up during the night, totaling 6 times while she was there. When morning came, she quietly let herself out and allowed you the sleep in you needed. 
"You're up" she smiled as you entered the kitchen, "coffee?" she asked. 
"Please" you nodded, your eyes wanting nothing more than to be sleeping again. Natasha handed you a mug of fresh warm coffee, "thank you for last night" you looked at her before taking the coffee from her hands. "Don't mention it" Natasha smiled, "I thought today we could go down to the orphanage, if you're up for it" she added. "Yeah, sounds good. I just need a shower and this coffee" you replied before taking your first sip, "take your time, I'll just need to hand that pile of paperwork into Tony" 
The warm coffee was just what your body was craving to help keep you awake or maybe the help of seeing Wanda was more than enough to keep your eyes from closing. "Natasha said you were here" her voice made you blush just like you did when you were younger, "yeah, I thought I'd come see what Nat's all about" you joked not wanting to tell her why you sought Natasha's help. 
"How long are you staying?" 
"Only a few days" 
"Do you think you'd have time for a sleep over?" she smiled softly. "A sleep over?" you frowned causing Wanda to chuckle, "you've never had one before, it'll be fun, I promise" she replied. 
"What exactly do you do at a sleepover besides sleep?" 
"Eat a bunch of crappy food, watch trashy movies, gossip, do a bunch of girly crap" she explained with a convincing smile. "You'll love it, what do you say?" 
"I fear I don't have a choice" you smiled, "how about my last night here?"
"Sounds perfect! I can't wait" she playfully winked before helping herself to the fruit bowl, "what's your plans today?" she asked. 
"Uhm, Natasha and I are doing something, she wouldn't tell me about it though" you lied. 
"Well, I'm making dinner for everybody tonight, will you and Natasha be joining us?" 
"I'm pretty sure, yeah!" you smiled, "I should hit the shower, I told Nat I wouldn't be long. I'll see you tonight" you added before giving her one last soft smile. 
----
"Nat!!" a young girl with blonde hair came running into Natasha's arms, "Hey there!" your older sister smiled as she hugged the young girl, "we have missed you! Are you taking us out today?" she asked with a wide smile. 
"Not today honey, but I have somebody I want you all to meet. This is Y/n, she's my younger sister" 
"Hi" you smiled at the little girl that somehow within such a short few minutes made your heart feel full. "Hi! I'm Taylor" she smiled with a wave, "Come on, let's go meet everybody else" Natasha took Taylor's hand as you followed closely behind. 
The room was almost like a classroom, there were roughly 10 young girls playing board games or drawing. "The older girls are in glass; these little angels are all between 7 and 10 years old" Natasha explained as more girls greeted Natasha with wide smiles and big hugs. "Girls, I want you to meet somebody special, this is Y/n" Natasha introduces you before the room is filled with greetings to you, "Can you girls keep her company for a moment?" she asked, not a single no was said. "I'll be back, I just need to go chat to somebody, you'll be okay" she turns to you with a smile before she's out the door. One of the girls tugs your hand and asks you to play monopoly with them or maybe it was just code so everybody would ask you questions about yourself. 
They asked many questions like what your favorite color was, which was your favorite movie, your least favorite food, what do you like more, dogs or cats? Anything the young girls would think of to build their own profile on you. Although you didn't mind it at all, you answered all their questions, even if you had to make up an answer. 
"Are you going to come back every week like Nat does?" Brianna asked with wide eyes and rosie cheeks. "Would you guys like that?" you asked, "yes!! You could come with us to the places Nat takes us! She's so fun, she lets us eat ice cream before lunch!" one of the girls pitched in, exposing their little secret with Nat. "Yeah!! Nat is taking us to the carnival on the weekend, will you come?" Taylor said. 
"Pleaseeee!!" the girls begged in sync, "well I don't see why I can't" you smiled softly earning a bundle of 'yes' from the girls then at last, you all played a game of monopoly.
----
The drive back to the compound was mostly silent as you got lost in your thoughts, "I can hear your thoughts from here, come on, what's up?" Natasha glanced over to you before putting her attention back on the road. "Those girls, they have barely anything and yet they seem so full of life, and nothing seems to worry them" you looked over at Natasha, "they were happy to see you and to even get to know me" you added. 
"You know, they do worry" Natasha replied, "they worry every single time a couple walk through those front doors to take one of them home, they worry who it's going to be. Will it be them or somebody else and when it's not them, their hearts are broken. They worry why they weren't picked; all they want is a family" she explains taking another look at you for a second. "You saw how excited they were when they met you, how they wanted to know everything about you and for those few hours we were there, they weren't thinking about whose next or why they weren't picked, all they cared about was making a new friend" she adds. 
A soft smile tugged at your lips, "and I guess for those moments I didn't feel like I was born into a world to be used as a weapon" you spoke softly.
 "You weren't born for that, we were just dealt with crappy cards and now we just have to find things that make us as happy as those girls, even when we know things are perfect we can still find joy in little things" 
"I see what you did, very smart" you chuckled, "seeing those girls, I needed that, thank you" you added. 
"What are sisters for?" Natasha smiled softly, "do you think I could join you in helping them? I mean, I'd really like too" you asked. "Of course, we'll talk more about it tomorrow, I hear Wanda is cooking dinner for us all tonight" she nudged you lightly. "If I tell you about Wanda, will you stop dropping the hints that you know? Yelena told me everybody knew" you raised a brow.
"Well, is there anything to tell?"
"Maybe" you blushed unable to hide it. 
"Its your business so I won't poke around anymore but, you are my sister and if Wanda steps out of line I wi-"
"What is with you and Yelena?! God!" You groaned as your cheeks got more warm, "We care about you, that's all and look, it's nothing against Wanda, I know her well" Natasha smirks, "I just wanted to see you squirm" she admits. "You're an ass!" you chuckled.

Alright here we go...I need to break down my feelings on this.
*1st...Do I think that the writers are abandoning the nace ship? No. I do believe they'll end up together but it's the storyline presented in this episode that now taints that for me
*yes, I know Nancy did what she did out of love. It's the same reason she gave the road back the list to save ace's life in season 2, the same reason she denied her feelings for him in the S3 finale. She makes a lot of bold choices to protect Ace.
*then there's the fact that the only reason he was on that boat to begin with was bc she told his dad yes when they body swapped and she gave him a deadly curse jar to drop in the ocean to boot
*while Ace is living through this hellish nightmare, the rest of the Drew Crew were building heartfelt memories in honor of Nancy's mom. Seriously, hate this for him.
*so Nancy leaning on Ace in these ways but kind of not always being present for his needs is a pattern that I needed to see them break. But they didn't, they repeated it. That doesn't make their big love seem as real, true, or sincere
*this means that the convo on the phone from 4x08 was an altered memory, which means even with a fake remembered heartfelt convo like that, Ace didn't invite Nancy to Seder and they were cold as ice to each other.
*Ace had an impossible choice, to save his Dad or Alice. There wasn't much he could do in that scenario obviously but the whole scene felt weirdly off and not surprisingly, difficult to watch
*so... while I can believe that a final twist is possible, if it doesn't somehow remedy the fact that Ace was put in that situation because of Nancy and then the memory of it was erased by Nancy without his consent, and all the ramifications that brings....I'm not sure I'll feel great about it
Now... some random other thoughts I have..
*I don't think that Tristan's curse is actually broken, it was way too easy
*they should've done an 18-episode order for the final season minimum, it's not fair that the storyline had to be truncated into 13 episodes and we've missed so many opportunities for extended scenes
*really though, what could the big final twist be? Is this all still one big crazy vision from Temperance and were all still at the Vale in real time?? Or maybe the memory Nancy and Ace witnessed still wasn't really accurate?
All I know is I really hope next week leaves a much better taste in my mouth and warmth in my heart ❤️

May i make a request for a pt.2 for the azul x cook! Reader headcanons but with the characters trey, ruggie, jamil and jade?
Writer's Note(s): I can do that, this one will seem a little shorter because it has multiple characters and I don't want any repeats (especially since Trey, Jamil, and Jade are food experts themselves).
Tumblr media
Info on Reader: Reader is intended Gender Neutral, using they/them and you/your. Reader is a good cook (chef) more than a good baker (pastries/bread), but no other skills are mentioned. No Reader description is given. Reader can be Yuu or an OC, it's flexible.
Ships: Trey, Jamil, Ruggie, and Jade × GN!Reader who can cook.
Fujoshis DNI || Everyone enjoy!
Tumblr media
Trey Clover || トレイ・クローバー
He'll be surprised, yet relieved that someone can cook and knows not to abuse the kitchenware. He'll also be pleasantly surprised that you chose him to be your taste tester for the meals you make. He would also not turn you down if you made him a bento or lunchbox of any kind for class, it's very sweet.
What catches him off guard is when it happens four days in a row that you've made him lunch, and you leave with a, "I'll be back tomorrow." That makes him look at the lunchbox in surprise that, oh, your doting on him.
Truth be told, as long as you don't give him something that'll burn his tongue off with its spice, he'll eat it. He's not going to eat more than he needs to for his three meals so his teeth don't deteriorate, but he does thank you profusely for caring about him...
... But he does ask, with general curiosity and maybe Ace making fun of him in the back, "Why have you cooked for me everyday this week? I'm not complaining, I just want to know Any special occasions?" He plays it cool.
Of course, it's because you love him and you're very good at cooking, so why not make him something to eat everyday. At least this way you know he's eating healthy and it's what you're doing. Trey chuckles at that.
Ruggie Bucchi || ラギー・ブッチ
He's very happy to have landed you as a partner but he's chill about most things you both do. What he's not expecting, but will thank every good force in the world, was for you to be a very generous cook. He's not surprised you can cook, just that he got a generous cook of a partner! Hell yeah!
Does not complain that you feed him lunches everyday or about what you pack him! He's not going to complain if you made him grilled salmon and rice, a fruit salad and a lunch wrap, or fusilli and broccoli. He's eating it all.
The only reasons he questions why you're feeding him so much is because he wonders if you're financially burdening yourself for him. He usually wouldn't care and take the free food but your dating him, and he kinda... cares, y'know?
While getting lunch from you directlyーhe always gets them directly from youーhe pops his question. "Y'know, I've been wondering where you're gettin' all this food. Your dorm can't be finding this fun."
You tell him it's no sweat, because you make extras for Ruggie while feeding yourself. You honestly think of him while cooking, and Ruggie has never signed internally so hard! Thank goodness...
Jamil Viper || ジャミル・バイパー
He's not sure if he'll be lying if he said he's surprised he landed a partner. He can be honest and say he expected it later in life, but he's quite pleased with being your partner, you're very talented and he likes that. Seeing you use the community kitchen next to him and actually help with meals is nice, because he can trust you (and not have to taste test all the time like if there was a bigger group cooking).
Definitely was stumped but genuinely pleased about getting the first box lunch, and did enjoy the different flavors from just a lunch he made himself. The second day, it was a little unfortunate that he had made him and Kalim lunch already, but he'll save it for tomorrow...
Definitely wouldn't take offense to all the food, but he's thinking you and him might have to create a schedule for when it's good to make him food. The fridge at Scarabia Dorm is already filled on the regular...
He'll bring it up on a day you both are cooking for Kalim later that week to tell you. "Speaking of meals... We might have to plan your lunches and dinners a bit. It would be awkward if I let your lunch rot because I made my own lunch."
Yeah, that would be best, you have to agree and Jamil is thankful to have such an understanding partner.
Jade Leech || ジェイド・リーチ
Oh, he's very pleased he managed to land a partner such as you and you treat him so nicely. He enjoys you as a person and he is very happy to decide he was worth your time... and he's totally not saying that because your food is very pleasing!
Jade is a foodie while also being a decent cook himself, so he's a bit too happy to take your lunches and definitely not eat it in front of Floyd and Azul. He's very grateful for your food and would actually prefer it over a school meal, just because it's yours.
But he does start making suggestions if you don't cook a lot of a certain type of food (because it's your weak point and/or you didn't think he'd like it) to get you on a cooking date. Definitely would share the Octavinelle Dorm kitchen with you and makes normal food without any of his special additions into it.
While he's cooking a sort of lunch for you in return for all you've done for him, he taste tests your dish with a smile on his face. "Quite splendid. I'm very happy you decided to take time to cook with me today... but you could use some mushrooms."
You want to tell him that mushrooms and what you're cooking can't mix, but then you remember it's not your lunch... and you give in. He gives you a kiss on the cheek for allowing the mushrooms.

I have a couple more shows on my watchlist and once that's done i think i'll be taking a (probably brief) break from asian dramas to focus on some of the other dozen watchlists i have (anime maybe? i might skip jojo and try daiya no ace again- we'll see though)
I'm hitting the 300 dramas mark soon (that's 300 completed mind you, not counting movies, and not counting things i've dropped) so i'll probably write something later in the year too reflecting on both the shows that've come out this year and the ones i've watched
For now i thought i'd jot down a couple notes about the currently airing shows i'm keeping up with since i haven't had time to do that in a while. I'll be doing this in the order I watch them in.
Middleman's Love- ngl I'm solely watching this for King and Uea. I know some of you like this show but the main couple just don't work for me and the side couple are only mildly more interesting. I'll keep watching it to the end but it's a skim watch.
Twins- A great example of how silly is fine when it's enjoyable. I fucking adore this show right now. This has volleyball in it and I'm a haikyuu!! fan before i'm a person so of course i was going to watch this show no matter how dumb it is but it's great. I'm having a blast. I like the family dynamics, I like Sprite, I like how they're committing to the 'slow' part of 'slow burn', I like all the stupid hijinks, I like that I can watch this show and be like "oh he's a Setter, like Kageyama!", I just like it. Poor First though, doing all this work of unlearning his hatred for Zee for no damn good reason.
My Dear Gangster Oppa- This one used to be first on my list but after the dumb breakup last week, it's dropped down. I hate the noble idiocy trope as @lurkingshan calls it. It's stupid, it's annoying and I don't think this week's episode made up for it. Shame really, I was quite enjoying this show at first. The chemistry's good and cliches are fine when they're enjoyable. If it wasn't ending next week, I would drop it.
Last Twilight- Saving the best for last because a) it's a heavier show with more to think about than any of the above and b) youtube's interface annoys me.Tbh I only started watching this in the hopes that it might rewrite my current reflex of wincing everytime I see Jimmy's face in a gifset but it's such an excellent show. Aof's directing and storytelling is excellent as usual and he really does deserve credit for how handles his actors. Watching JimmySea in this and then vv is like whiplash.
ps. Pit Babe- i'm not invested in keeping up with this show and my desire to do so depends on factors such as the amount of free time I have and how reluctant I am to use youtube to watch Last Twilight. It seems to have inklings of an interesting plot + obviously it's fandom history cuz of the a/b/o but the way they only half lean into the omegaverse aspects of it without explaining anything makes me wonder what people who aren't familiar with the concept of omegaverse think about this show and how they understand it. Like it has to be confusing without context, right? Mostly, i'm just watching for Nut Supanut and Nut Supanut only though it remains to be seen whether my affection for him will eventually be worn down by how annoying his character is. I swear, if it were played by anyone else or if I cared about the main characters to any extent, I'd find Way insufferable. But so far, i'm supporting all his wrongs. Especially when he looks so damn pretty doing it.

RP SENTENCE STARTERS INSPIRED BY "Astro City" (1995) MEGAPOST
Edit pronouns/names/locations/etc. and combine or separate as needed when sending.
#1
"In my dreams, I fly. I soar unfettered, and serene, laughing at gravity and at care. The clouds embrace me as a friend and the wind lazily tousles my hair. I lose myself in the sun and the sky."
"The emergency alert transmitter. As always."
"Some sort of weather disaster. Probably another typhoon."
"Manila's a nice flight, under other circumstances. But not today."
"There's no time. There's never any time."
"Of course, there's shock damage to dealt with, and venting the volcano that caused the wave..."
"'Deadlines' as always. Four manuscripts late out of editorial as always. And guess who gets to make up the time?"
"Well, if things are that dire, might as well get to it. 'Time nor tide tarrieth no man.'"
"You know, for someone who enjoys his job so much, you figure just once he'd get here a little early."
"Not bad-- a little florid, but it captures the subject well."
"I swear, I used to think he was standoffish-- but I'm starting to believe he really is the busiest guy on Earth!"
"Cuttin' it a bit fine, eh, [NAME]? We were gettin' ready t'start without ya!"
"Button it. They've never missed a meeting, which is more than I can say for you!"
"Now, now. No need to fuss-- we're all here."
"Boost power-flow by 13%."
"So what's the verdict? Will I ever play violin again?"
"Perfect-- We're reading 85% human with a 15% alien overlay."
"Ha!-- Enough of circuitry and wiring, we have a call to arms!"
"Yeah, yeah, big deal! Like we don't already know you're fast..."
"You'd better be in there! Lunch hour ended TEN minutes ago!"
"I know, and I'm sorry. But the solitude helps me work faster."
"I can't save everybody-- people die even while I'm saving lives *here*-- but I still do what I can. Can't I?"
#2
"Please, it's only [TITLE/FULL NAME/ETC.] when you're in trouble. Call me [(NICK)NAME]."
"I had Sally make us lunch reservations at the press club. I'll introduce you to some of the guys you'll be working with."
"Good. We've got a few minutes before it's time to head down, then. Relax, loosen your tie maybe-- you look like you're choking."
"Sorry, this article you've got framed here. I can understand the others, but why this one?"
"You're observant. I like that."
"That's a story I usually tell over lunch, but I think the club waiters are getting tired of it."
"Press! Press! I need that phone!"
"Your first week, and you already want the front page?"
"I know, I know. But all I've gotten are obits and one flower show. And I could taste this one--"
"Hotshot reporter! Ace newshound! Your pulitzer."
"I'd sneak you up, but I've got an early audition tomorrow."
"Radio jingle, or a soap opera this time?"
"They've got no money of course-- they're putting on the show in a coffeehouse--"
"By the power of the dark heart-- of blood and bone crushed to powder..."
"By the power of the killing fish... the great fish that never rests, whose hunger is never sated..."
"I open the channels to your hunger... I open the channels to your power!..."
"I don't know if what you're trying would even work, but I'd just as soon not find out!"
"I THANK YOU. YOUR WORLD IS WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE. YOU AND YOUR MINNOWS HAVE SERVED ME WELL... AND YOU SHALL NOT GO UNREWARDED!"
"TAKE MY POWER UNTO YOU. TAKE MY HUNGER AS YOUR OWN--"
"Your army's not going anywhere except the stockade, chum!"
"Quit clowning around and get the job done! We don't have time for your foolishness!"
"You're most uncool! This scene is so square, it's cubed!"
"These oversized sardines need to be put back into the can!"
"THE HUMANS ARE MORE RESOURCEFUL THAN THEY FIRST APPEARED. BUT THEY SHALL NOT PREVAIL."
"We are in a half-world between realities-- and we must prevent it from becoming a beachhead!"
"No offense, but a neophyte reporter bringing a wild story like this... extra-dimensional attack, mystic half-worlds, old legends... would you believe it, in my shoes?"
"Rewrite it, [NAME]. Rewrite it and stick to the facts you can back up."
"This is a strange world, son. And there are lots of weird things in it. That makes us, as a newspaper, vulnerable. Other papers may go out there with sensational, screaming headlines that turn out to be a mistake. We print what we can prove. Sometimes spectacular, sometimes it isn't. Our readers count on us for the truth."
#3
"Please. A drink for everyone in this establishment, my dear."
"Worth a cool mil-- and he says anyone coulda done it--"
"Hey, hey! I heard somebody went down last night-- on your lookout."
"That ain't fair. He was waitin' for us. Gagged me, then in came the cops. I barely managed to slip away."
"Go ahead! Scoff! Don't believe me."
"Oh look-- it's a ruffian of some sort!"
"I'll have the chauffeur rough them up and toss them into the river. Such impertinence."
"Uh, it's nothin' guys. I got an offer to work on my aunt's house in California. I'm thinkin' about it, like a vacation y'know?"
"[NAME] squealed! He's tryin' to bring me in!--"
"Eyes~, oh eyes~! Some people see too much, Eyes!"
"No, please stop! Don't wind that crank, please!"
"Oh, but it's such a nice song, don't you think? Why don't you sing it with me..."
"The monkey thought it was all in fun~!--"
"A hundred-thousand to the man who kills him! And two-hundred in merchandise credit!"
"Sounds like a good deal, but read the fine print: It's awfully hard to collect when you're in prison!"
"Nobody leaves the party early! Don't worry-- I'll get around to you as quickly as I can!"
"How many times have your mother and I told you? If you and your little friends can't play nice, your toys are going to be taken away from you!"
#4
"I swear. I don't know how you do it. I couldn't live up here: gives me the willies just driving through."
"--She broke out of jail. Rebuilt her commode and prison cot into a jackhammer."
"It looks like it's just a pin, but if I turn the design in the frame like-- well, I won't do it now, but it'll set off alarms at headquarters."
"Some. They're not as bad as you think, though. I grew up there. I guess I'm just used to it."
"'Not as bad as you think,' listen to her!"
"One of the gals in my apartment just took a new job in San Franscisco, we're looking for a new roomie."
"She becomes one of them! She works down there, now she lives down there--"
"Mistletoe, child, will protect you from the prince of darkness. For he cannot stand its purity. Also good if need speak to ghosts, but that for later."

"Into the stairwell! It's reinforced and we've got to get to ground level!"

"Just sit back and watch while a professional demonstrates the fine art of monster-taming!"
"You're not exactly cooperating there, tall-dark-and-bloodthirsty!"
"You wouldn't wanna make me look bad, would you?"
"What did we do so wrong to deserve him?!"
"Just get 'im out of here-- before I rip his leg off and beat the monster's head in with it!"
"Cripesakes, man! This is a battlezone! Get outta here!"
"Izzat the new 720? Man, I read about those! Sweet machine, can I--"
"It is NOT your precious machine! And what it is is none of your concern! Now be off with you!"
"Cold is better than walls. I am content."
"Another rejection-- you think the boy would learn!"
"Why can't he get a normal, respectable job like any other--"
"Transmission connection established. Awaiting signal."
"Heads up in there, you lucky unfortunate, you-- And better have your autograph book ready! 'Cause you're sure to want a memento of this daring rescue to show to your grandchildren someday!"
"You know, the service in here is terrible. Whaddya say pops? Let's BLOW this popsicle stand!"
"Ah, to think that all the other superheroes will pale by comparison!"
"No autographs please, ladies! I still have work to do! I-- MY RECORD COLLECTION!"
"Hmph! Be like that! See if I don't get a lawyer for unauthorized use of the name..."
"So the woman says 'you idiot-- this is a duck, not a pig!' and the bartender says-- 'I was talking to the DUCK!'... fine, don't laugh! See if I care."
"Here you go: A trio of sleeping not-so-beauties!"
"Aw, pshaw! Gotta leave *something* for the boys in blue to do!"
"Do you mind?! We're on stakeout here!"
"C'mon! I know a little after-hours place around the corner. Could be your lucky night!"
"And you, such a sensitive guy, too. The mind positively boggles!"
"So, what about you, short stuff? Ready to graduate into the big leagues?"
"I'm only lending a helping hand, dear lady! Pretend I'm not even here!"
"Yes, it was a long and complex investigation to get the goods on this vicious criminal ring. But I want you to know there's no way I could have done it without the assistance of these girls here--"
#6
"I just... didn't know whether you'd be showing up as yourself, or as..."
"I wouldn't want to make you reveal your secret identity-- you don't need to change."
"Now we're not going to take no for an answer, big guy. You keep overworking yourself like this, you're going to crack."
"Take an evening off for once. The rest of us can keep the world safe tonight."
"Oh please, guys! That thing's fast, sure... but let's be realistic here!"
"This is priceless, isn't it? The world's most prominent superheroes, and neither of us has been out on a date in so long... we've forgotten how it works."
"I... I don't know. I didn't really think to make reservations anywhere. It's not like we can go to dinner like this, right?"
"So they are. But you know what? It's our night off. Let's go ahead and cause a fuss!"
"Where now?... we could go to Paris, or Tokyo... if you prefer."
"Where would it be different?"
"My idea of a swell evening, I'll tell you-- freezin' my buns off so some other guy can get some!"
"Um, really? No offense... but it's not the sort of thing I'd imagined for you."
"I can take off whenever I need to, as long as the work gets done."
"Well yes, but surely you could get whatever connections you want from the government or any station--"
"I suppose I could, now. But I wouldn't have been able to when I started out... And, well. I've been kind of busy..."
"That was it. That was the end of my mission. I don't know what it changed-- but that it was a crucial event."
"And I can't help but think, if one disaster could send the world into ruin... well, having seen where we could end up, I feel like I should try to keep things as safe as I can.
"But I couldn't find my family. They didn't exist-- they'd never been born."
"The dwelling unit where I grew up was gone, too. In its place was an automated taco stand."
"But the world I came from is gone. It simply never was."
"It's okay. We knew going into it that this would happen if I was successful, and we all agreed that--"
"We're a couple of workaholics, it seems. Addicted to our beepers."
"Hey, I'll turn mine off if you turn yours off."
"Because I've got a message to send, to women. Not just that they can be heroic, but that they matter. They count."
"Look, I do what I do by choice, and so do you."
"You prioritize by time, who's nearest. And I prioritize by what message I send."
"Tell me about it. I've been called everything from a pagan cult-leader to an anti-american lesbian terrorist."
"I just try to focus on the mission, on getting through to the next job that needs doing."
"I think if I stepped back and looked at it from outside I'd just crack from the enormity of it all."
"But everybody needs to step back. To get some perspective."
"You must have family, friends to turn to from before--"
"Wow! You're almost as cut off as I am..."
"Oh COME ON! I don't have the luxury you do, keeping a secret identity you don't even use! I mean, where is this normal life you say you always want? You're always on the go, you barely even had enough time for tonight!--"
"But don't you see how unrealistic that is?"
"Everything we do is unrealistic. We're fighting for dreams, and we can't give up, not even when... maybe especially when it's impossible."
"Maybe you're fine. Maybe you're still the woman you were, just more powerful and effective."
"But it seems to me that well... if you don't deal with the world through anything but the costume and the mission, hasn't it become kind of a shelter in itself?"
"Just because you saw your whole world destroyed doesn't mean I have to go crawling back to that broken, pathetic, SCARED little thing I once was!"
"You're really annoying, you know that? It's like... you're a god pretending to be normal."
"I'm a woman trying to live up to the role of a god. Letting go of that, even for a little while... well. It's hard to believe I'll ever capture it again."
"Don't worry about it: You've given me a lot to think about. Just as long as it hasn't been entirely one-sided..."
"No-- no. You said some things I haven't considered, but maybe I should..."

You’re so so right about the weather. I cannot stand heat, which truly makes hurricane season awful (aside from the obvious reasons of the danger and everything) because Florida + hurricanes = no power so the heat is so much fun to deal with when there is no AC. I think we got maybe 3 weeks total of cool days here this winter, which is an improvement of the winter of I believe last year that had zero cool days. To clarify, I’m using Florida standard for cold, meaning the high was 60-something and the low was in the 40s. We do not get anything like a New York winter.
Anon, you have all my sympathy. I could rant for DAYS about summer and the heat. I will also say that us summer haters have it far, far worse than winter haters. I do not care about your wintertime SAD. I do not care that you don't like the cold. I do not care that you don't like the dark. You only have to suck it up for daylight savings 4 months out of the year. You also get, what, three or four months of true winter weather now anywhere in the globe thanks to global warming? You're FINE. Especially since global warming is just going to make that time shrink in the coming years/decades. Plus, there are ways the average person can actually escape the cold, like layering up and making fires. When it's hot out, can you peel off your skin? Can you make ice by rubbing two sticks together? No, so sit down and shut the fuck up.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that can be done to escape the heat. Air conditioning? Yeah, A/C units, if you're lucky enough to have one, can only effectively cool a house by 20 degrees. That was fine 50 years ago, but nowadays when summers are regularly 100+ degrees? Your A/C can only get you down to 80, which is still AWFUL indoors. Your only option is to burrow underground, really, which isn't exactly a fucking solution!
Also, heat is the natural disaster that causes the most deaths worldwide every year. This is what summer lovers cheer for every spring? Gross.
Sorry, I went and ranted anyway. I hate heat and I have no patience for people that like this weather. I'm a raging bitch from March-November and I'm not sorry about it. Fix the planet and maybe I'll stop being a bitch.
You have it much worse than I do down in the south, and I am so sorry, Anon. I wish there was something I could actually do for you, but feel free to vent anytime. Also, I'm dead serious when I say this: if you or anyone reading this has the means to do so, make a plan eventually to move north. It's only going to get worse down south in the coming decades. I'm making my own plan to get even farther north than where I am now. I realize this isn't feasible for most people. There are financial or familial or physical or health constraints, or you just don't plain want to leave your homes. I get it. But if you can, at least see if you can make a plan. Because climate change isn't stopping and it's only going to get worse.

As Loved By The Aces - All Members
Tumblr media
Which fic are you wanting first for my new series?
This poll will be up for a week...I think I'll write them in order of most voted for to least? Maybe? Or not, I'm not sure yet.
Updates: no more votes for Hyunjin and Jeongin please! I've already uploaded their fics! <3
୨୧ the Tracklist ୨୧
★ Track 1: B.C - Always Get This Way
I don't remember when it took over, all I know now is it controls me, and I don’t wanna call you, but I can’t really sleep, and I’ve been wearing a smile, pretending to eat, oh I swear, that I can explain, no
★ Track 2: M.H - Attention
I'm tired of tearing you apart, know your heart has had enough, it's obvious, you're starved for affection, and you need more, and you need more, you need more attention
★ Track 3: C.B - Last One
I can’t, I can’t stop, I can’t start without you, you’ve been, killing me taking all my attention, I don’t, I don’t need another song about you, so this is the last one, this is the last one
★ Track 4: H.J - I’ve Loved You For So Long
You're taking me back, babe, to where it all started, wearing your hair up in your New York apartment, I swear, I've loved you for so long, I'd do it again
★ Track 5: J.S -  Miserable
Now it’s a pain, I’m so tortured and vain, just wanna feel better, I finally got what I want, finally got, what I want, but the next part’s kinda comical, I’m still fucking miserable
★ Track 6: Y.B - Stay
Don’t be lonely ‘cause you’re not alone, gotta send me pictures, save em to my room, if I fly to see you would it feel like home? If I change my number, you’re the first to know.
★ Track 7: S.M - Going Home
I love everything about you, you know, even all of the the things you say you don’t like, nothing I don’t like, I love that you never pretend with me, even from the start you taught me to be, nothing but me
★ Track 8: J.I - Younger
I was somewhere in the middle of nowhere, I learnt to put on a face just to have friends, perpetually wanting something more than myself, more than I was

MINORS DNI
I can't draw digital to save my life, so I made my monster!Poppet oc Kalix, traditional. (I have been diagnosed with Vinnel brainrot, there sadly is no cure. Also I didn’t make this species, its heavily based off of a creature from game I used to play called a Kivarok)  Their main fur color is black, with the shaded in parts being a really really dark purple. Their horns and claws are orange with a yellow gradient at the top/end. Similarly, their diamond patterns are orange, and get more yellow that further they are away from their torso. They have 7 white eyes on each side (on the front view i forgot to add one pair you did not see that, nothing is wrong :'))) ) that they can close individually. Will usually close all but their two main ones to not look 'weird' or have people feel like they're staring at them. Kalix's eyes also don't usually have pupils, but they consciously make pupils so that, along with their exaggerated body language/movement, speech, and gesticulation, their emotions can be read more easily while masking in public. Pupils are orange. The first three diamond patterns on Sir are eyes, one being a light yellow color, and the others becoming white. Their eyes / horns / patterns / claws have a slight glow. Has four arms in total. (maybe one day i'll have the urge to try and draw on ibis paint) Kalix's blood is orange :). They also have a mouth on their main head, but really really don't want to scare people they want to be friends with, and keeps it closed and hidden for the most part. They are 6'0 because I wish I was tall :').
I've been completely obsessed with @eldritch-spouse's universe for the past few days and just had to make this. I love love love her writing and really suggest you check out her blog if you like yanderes and monsters >:D Under the cut is some of my oc's info if anyone is interested :D (it's a lot of rambling lol)
Tw mentions of cannibalism and other illegal stuff.
“Nothing can last forever. There isn't any memory, no matter how intense, that doesn't fade out at last.” ― Juan Rulfo This is Kalix! (Named them this purely because the word makes my brain happy) They are a young adult monster, who suffers from loneliness brain damage! With symptoms that are very similar to ADHD. They forget what day of the week it is often, forget words mid conversation, and have a shit short term memory. Often forgets to eat and has a habit of not eating until their tail-head starts to nip/chew (omnomnom) at them. Will constantly loose things, even if they are currently holding said thing in their paw. Brings noise cancelling earbuds around and wears gloves because they are touch averse. Usually has one part of their body moving, leg bopping, playing with their fingers, etc. (heavily projecting here lol, they just like me fr) Are a residual hermaphrodite who flip flops between sex depending on temperature/season (has a slit covered by their fluff) and goes by all pronouns. Demi ace/aro (hahaha slowburn + oblivious to their own feelings, have fun with that Vinnel). Has a hard time understanding sarcasm and understanding their own feelings.
Kalix's tail has been named "Sir" as they thought the word was cool. They usually eat / drink using their head-tail. Sir is Kalix's subconscious/lizard brain, though they don't seem to realize that themself, thinking the tail-head as more of a sibling/pet. (and example for the subconcious/lizard brain thing being, Kalix stubbing their toe, wincing and making a joke, Sir whimpering and getting teary like the crybaby they secretly are) They can consciously control Sir for about 30 minutes before a headache starts cracking open their skull (usually their species would be able to do this all the time, but shhh don't tell the poor child, they'll cry). While talking through Sir, Kalix can mimic many many sounds / voices. It would honestly be easier to list what they can't mimic than what they can. They do have a tell though, as when they speak through Sir, they have a slight whisper echo. Also sadly because of brain injury, they can't cut off Sir's senses from their own. Wagging their tail super fast like a dog when excited / to stim will leave make them super dizzy. Sir also has a taste for human/monster flesh :))) Has some other abilities, like being able to store stuff in their shadow (they do this more often and don't get nauseous from it unless they try to fit a bigger object inside. Kalix usually makes it look like they're pulling stuff out from their chest fluff becuse i thought that would be silly), make shadow apparitions for a limited amount of time, wrap themselves in shadows to hide or stalk their 'prey', and if they really push themself, they can teleport through shadows (within a certain range etc.) at most two times a week. They feel nauseous and get headaches after this, and using their power too often/long or trying to store large objects will make them violently ill. (won't stop the dumbass from overusing their abilities to pull pranks on The Clergymen though) Has little physical strength (for a monster at least), although they can jump pretty high when spooked (hehe get it? halloween pun :> also foreshadowing~) Speaking of Halloween, it's one of Kalix's main hyperfixations. Their hyperfixations include: Halloween, (and by extension) candy making, horror book reading, driving (although ironically if Kalix is a passenger they get extremely car sick), juggling (picks this up after they see Vinnel do it and realize 1. its a fun way to stim and 2. they have four arms. they are terrible at first), baking (which is kinda funny cuz they cannot cook for shit), insect related stuff, (piss poor) sewing, and drawing (they usually like to draw stuff with the combination of gore and plants).
Always has candy corn on them (or it seems that way, it’s just in their shadow. Kalix likes how it looks like they can just summon candy corn out of nowhere).
Also do not let them drive. They will turn it into a car chase. Somehow. (They just like slamming into the cars chasing them and showing off their drifts and sharp turns) They work as a party planner / decorator and will practically beg on their knees to Admin to help decorate for the holidays, especially Halloween. (Admin will have to wrangle them during other holidays to make sure Kalix doesn’t start making them Halloween themed as well...
”Decorate your own apartment Easterween themed, Kalix...” cue Admin’s signature tired eye roll as Kalix gives the smaller human puppy dog eyes) After they learn The Clergy has rent able rooms, they'll definitely start living there. Kalix's room will be completely Halloween themed all year long. They'll also ask Admin if they can help out around the Clergy / help them (Kalix feels bad for Admin and all their responsibilities, but also thinks they're amazing for being so focused and hard working)
Kalix is a complete virgin, having not even touched themself because again, they see Sir as a ‘pet’ or sibling sort of, only that Sir is attached to them. Kalix always chalks up Sir’s similar reactions to them as both them and Sir having grown up together.(if this sentence makes sense? basically they chalk up Sir having similar reactions to how they feel inside to just them growing up being attached to each other) Also them denying full heartedly that they are a crybaby and that they like the taste of human/monster flesh. To be honest, after a few months of being around Kalix, The Clergymen will probably pick up on Sir being more connected to Kalix than the oblivious lizard (idk why but my nickname for them is lizard despite them looking like some lizard/cat/owl/spider mix. it just fits. also all the picures of cute dumb little geckos connect with Kalix in my mind) realizes. Although Kalix sure as hell won’t realize themself, and won’t have any kind of sexual interaction with anyone while under the impression that Sir is a pet. Someone’s gonna have the explain the them eventually or Vinnel might somehow go even more insane.  (is a sadist masochist switch with a gore kink, though it'll take alot for them to admit it (or it would have if not for Kalix's first meeting with Grimbly and realizing they did not want to be a daddy/mommy/partner to the little dude, just a friend) Oh, and before i forget. Kalix unironically eats the most burned, charred, barely edible, can-barely-be-considered-food stuff. Completely unscathed. And they like it. They will eat coal (burning or not) in front of people occasionally to see their confused/grossed out/horrified reactions / to assert dominance. They're Vinnel's poppet for a reason :))))
They lived most of their life alone and when they were gracefully given a year long vacation by their warden, Kalix decided to try and make friends by integrating themself into human society. (Most others where they live avoid them/are afraid of them or occasionally someone will pity them but Kalix really dislikes that and would rather be ignored.) They stumbled upon The Clergy's Eye while stuck in a daydream / thought loop of how they were going to make friends. Going over the persona they had crafted (aka how they were going to mask the anxious, lonely, self conscious, and quiet crybaby they really are) and generally practicing conversations in their head. They were trying to go to the town's most popular bar, but ended up walking into The Clergy's Main floor / bar area (if im not mistaken). Kalix is just about able to handle being around Santi’s / and others pheromones due to years of exposure therapy (not a demon of my sort, will make sense in next post i prommy). (Ima make another post about how they met the TCE staff for the first time because this is hella long, thank you so much for reading if you made it this far. I hope you enjoyed my super self indulgent skrunkly child. I also left some stuff out that I really want to show via my writing later on :D)

Okay so Yelena/Florence moves to Paris and finds this small building that also has an apartment on top of it. She decides to buy it and make it a little bakery since she loves to make pastries. She puts up fliers/papers all around the city to look for a few people to help her. Cue in Reader needing a job since she's fresh out of college and was looking for a job. She goes in for an interview and is immediately hired on the spot. The two get along quickly and become friends.
Everything else is up to you whether they start dating or not. Just basically full on fluff
You're Hired!

AC: Thank you for this!! I went with Florence as you can tell! I also don’t think I’ve written a ‘variant’ for a celebrity before, I hope you enjoy it!! Sorry it’s not super long but I’m open to doing a part 2! X

After a long few years of back-to-back filming and press tours, Florence decided to do something a little different. She brought a building in the heart of Paris that had a small apartment on top of what she'd turn into a bakery. She's worked hard coming up with a menu that would offer plenty of baked goods, desserts, and a small list of main meals. The bakery would give her the chance to explore her skills as a baker and cook and a slight change to her busy lifestyle. 
The bakery took a few months of renovations before everything was set in motion for the opening to be planned. Of course, the actress turned baker would need staff, so she printed off plenty of flyers and plastered them all around the city. A week after doing so, Florence's diary was booked for the following week with interviews for potential staff. Of course, she had to keep in mind that there might be a few people only applying with the chance to meet the actress, but she was confident that people would respect her enough to let her do her job.
Fresh out of college and looking for work, you stumbled across one of the coming soon bakery flyers. You'd decided to take a gap year, meaning you'd work for a whole year before working out what your next step would be. This would give you the chance to save and hopefully explore and learn new things about the new chapter of your life. You wanted to make your parents proud considering they sent you to college in Paris and saved you the hassles of student debts. 
You'd been applying for jobs for months, a few interviews here and there but lucky just hadn't been on your side, maybe it was because your French lacked a little, but you still were able to understand what you needed too. After sending your resume and cover letter to the email on the flyer you couldn't help but build up some hope that you'd hear back from the owner. The job was basically a perfect fit for you, you had all the skills listed and it was only a few blocks from your small apartment. 
It was a Thursday afternoon when you stepped foot into the bakery, smiling confidently as you shook hands with Florence, keeping it stickly professional. 
"Hi, I'm Y/n, it's lovely to meet you" you spoke, shaking the blonde's hand with a firm grip. This was something Florence noticed instantly, she smiled, "Thank you for coming in, please take a seat" she offered before sitting down with your resume in front of her. "I noticed you just finished college, congratulations! That's big" Florence smiled once more as she looked up from your resume. 
"Thank you, it was a long road, but I really enjoyed it!" you replied, hoping your answer didn't sound too fake. Of course, college came with its pros and cons but you will forever wish you'd never be under the amount of stress college gave you. 
"You should be very proud! Now, I won't keep you too long, I know these interviews can be a lot, I just have a few questions and by the looks of your resume, that alone answers most of them" she replied with a light chuckle. 
"Sure, I'll answer anything you want" you smiled. 
"Have you ever dealt with an unreasonable customer? How did you handle it, and how would you handle it today?" 
After answering the woman's questions, the two of you found yourself getting side tracked and sharing stories with one another. The bakery was full of laughter, and you no longer felt like you were even at a job interview. 
"I'm not going to bother telling you that I'll call you, you've got the job!" Florence smiled.
"Are you serious?! Thank you so much! I promise you won't be disappointed!" Your hands were shaking with the last of your hidden nerves leaving your body. 
"I can tell you're a hard and honest worker, I'm very excited to have you join the team! We open in two week's time so you have plenty of time to prepare for whatever you need, I'll have a uniform for you to pick up next week and I'll email you any documents I need signed before end of next week" Florence went on to explain. You stood from your chair and shook your new boss's hands once more before thanking her. 
----
A year later, you found yourself promoted to manager of the bakery, Florence thought you were the best fit for when we would return to her other job. Not only that, the two of you grew closer as friends and you were happy to say that Florence was one of your closest friends! 
There were many nights spent laughing over wine and cheese boards, baking goods for the following morning, sharing different ideas for the long-awaited future for the bakery. You were sad to know that there would be a time when Florence would return to acting but she promised it wouldn't be for a long while yet!

The Cosplay Progress (?)
Okay...I'm doing it. I'm showing off the hot mess of progress of the possibly decent, or absolutely hot garbage, cosplay of my version of human!Ink. I do have a nice chunk of the items for the cosplay - just gotta put it together. Most of the putting together can be done in a day, and I have until July to finish it all, soooo...we'll see how this goes! ^^;
Now I'll just post updates maybe every other day, or once a week, since I do have most of it in hand. And it will all be under the cut, since it'll long as fuck. So, without further ado, let's begin, shall we?
First off, this is probably the most ambitious cosplay I've ever done. Normally I do something easy. Examples: Stiles from TW, casual Keith from VLD, and recently (for Halloween) genocide route Frisk. debating on positing what garbo pics i have of those
Flowerfell!Frisk? Probably the most complex I've done, and only because I had to have help make a flower crown, actually use fabric glue for the flowers and little heart on the shorts and flower on the mask , painted up a random prop stick I had lying around no idea why i had that , and did a little bit of faint make-up. And ended up with this:
Tumblr media
bad pic i know but it's all i got of the full thing where i don't look like a drowned rat coz goddamn it was hot af
So after that, for some damned reason, I decided it would be a GREAT idea to do a difficulty jump and do Ink! Yaaaaay...I'm so smart. I have been looking at this as a reference for what I need mostly coz i had it saved on my phone already , which has been both motivation to get this done...but also a little intimidating. But I'm already too far into this. Can't back out now!
Anyways, enough rambling! Let's start with the first update on this silly thing!
HOODIE
So, firstly, I already had my eye on the Ink hoodie from Simakai (I'll properly tag once the whole thing is done). I already have the Underfell one that I used for my Flowerfell!Frisk cosplay. I also have the Outertale hoodie, bi pride hoodie, and ace pride hoodie all from Simakai! They are all amazing hoodies, and I actually just bought Epic's hoodie from their new shop! Definitely check them out! They're comfy, well made, and I'll admit I wear my Outertale and Underfell hoodies out sometimes.
Tumblr media
The pic doesn't do it justice (hence all the millions of links above), but tada! The hoodie! My biggest worry is maybe tripping on the scarf, but I think I can manage. place your bets coz my ass clumsy
Also, there is a little surprise in it!
Tumblr media
Twas quite the laughing jumpscare when I was messing with the pockets.
And that's it for update 1! Stay tuned for more. >:3
~+~
Update 2 time!
Apologies for how garbage the pics are for this part. Space was a mess at the time, and I'm too lazy to redo it. With that out of the way...let's ramble!
PANTS
So, next to the sash for the vials, this was surprisingly the hardest thing for me to find. I couldn't find anything that looked "just right". The first pair that I bought did look just right...but the color was way off. Way too bright from what was advertised. Took me a while to find another pair, and I actually bought two more. one of which i may use for a ftfo!ink Now, the next pair is the right color...but it's just a nice pair of sweats/joggers. Which is a bit of a bummer, but seeings how I cannot sew/make a full blown pair of pants (can barely sew at all), and my stepmom (who can sew) isn't that insanely skilled, they will have to do.
Here is a pic of the pants side-by-side coz for the longest time I was going to go with the first pair I bought. But after putting it together with the top...no. Just...no. Did not look good. You'll have to take my word for it.
Tumblr media
And before you ask, yes. I will have assistance sewing on the little suspenders. That will be two separate posts on their own in the future! It won't be just plain brown pants.
So that's it for update 2! Stay tuned for more! if you want i ain't forcing ya lols
~+~
Update number 3! Wooooo!
And it is actually really boring.
Like...royally boring. sorry?
GLOVES
So these were a bit easy to get. Granted, I did buy two pairs, because I couldn't decided initially. It was only after trying them on that I could make a decision.
Tumblr media
They are a bit long, but I can live with that. especially coz I am not planning on doing the tatts, that would end terribly And, yes, they are missing that little piece on the pinky. Just like the pants are missing the suspenders. And just like with those, I will be having assistance sewing that piece on!
I could show you want I have of that, but I'm planning on making that one big update.
Okay! That's it! Stay tuned for update 4!
~+~
Update 4! Not another exciting one again. The more exciting ones will slowly trickle in. depending on what you define as exciting
Anywho! Update 4!
SHOES
Yes. Shoes. I know our favorite souless bean doesn't wear shoes anymore...but I have to. No need to get my toes all messed up! Especially at this convention center. Walking around there can be a nightmare! Closed toed or not. 😭
Anyway!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shoes!
They were sadly kind of expensive, but these were the closest I could find that kind of fit for what I was going for and i looked at custom ones first. Plus, I will be wearing these outside of the cosplay. So I get shoes for cosplay, and shoes for whenever I wanna wear them - a win-win.
But, one more thing! I will also I guess ruin them, in a way. How will I ruin them? Well...I was thinking of adding more splatter to them. Plus, see that pesky logo? Welp...I also had an idea for that.
Tumblr media
And I'll just leave this update at that. >:3
