your mafia!toji fic got me thinking so hard abt him😭😭 he’s deffo the type to just buy you sm stuff as an apology but when you don’t forgive him and sleep in a different bedroom mf will come into the room on his knees and beg for you to come to sleep 😩😩 imagine still saying no and him just flipping you onto his shoulders and carrying you to bed 🤭

oh you are absolutely correct!

“darling” toji softly calls you, letting out a tired sigh. “i said i was sorry. what am i supposed to do?”

“die” she replies nonchalantly, shoulders shrugging before grabbing a pillow and your favorite blanket off the bed,

he snickers, looking over at her with a raised eyebrow. “now, now that would be over dramatic don’t you think? won’t you miss me?”

he almost pisses his pants when she throws him a glare,

“okay. no jokes. got it” he put his hands up in surrender, feeling absolutely terrified at his baby being mad and speaking less than two words to him,

if anyone ever finds out that the most feared and notorious man in the city being tamed by his woman, he would never hear the end of it,

but she is scary. can you blame him?

toji looks over at the designer shoes and bags he just purchased a few hours ago, tucked neatly in the corner. untouched by her.

guess the apology gifts aren’t working,

“i didn’t know that she was coming, i haven’t even talked to her in years! never planned to anyway, you know i only got my eyes for my girl, right?”

she tries so hard not to roll her eyes,

toji had a meeting with one of the cartels at the club earlier that night. and of course, she always goes. it’s where he can always keep an eye on her and refuses to leave her at home all alone because he can’t risk that. also, because she’s his good luck charm. whenever she’s around, deals always goes well,

tonight was an exception though,

all was well until a certain person decided to crash. his old fling. one before he met his precious girlfriend. the red haired thought that it would be fun to press her fake ass tits against toji,

y/n was shocked to say at least. she didn’t say anything but her face spoke thousand words. toji could see that. throwing daggers at the bitch, corner of her lips quirk into a form of disgust.

and the worst part was? toji didn’t do anything about it! can you believe that asshole?!

something about being absolutely unprofessional if he was ever to push her off and it ticked y/n to the fucking bone so she decided to ignore him the rest of the night,

toji feels defeated when she chooses not to respond, simply just taking her stuff. he crouches lightly to look at her pretty face clearly. “baby… can you please look at me? I can’t stand seeing you mad. i’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you”

if it was any circumstances, sure she would melt and jump in his arms. but tonight is different. how could he?

she looks up at him and whisper “fuck. you” before turning around angrily and walk out of the door to go sleep on the guest room,

toji groans, the heel of his palms pressing against his eyes. she has always been so stubborn. too fucking stubborn. exactly why he had to get rejected seven times before she accepted his date.

what? he needed to get humbled, so she gave him that.

he contemplate for a while whether or not he should let her be or not. then he chooses the latter. it would probably be best if he let her cool off some steam for a while, he doesn’t want to do any more damage or make her feel more annoyed by his presence,

bet. not even ten minutes later, he feels like losing his mind without her here.

“fuck this shit” he mutters, getting up from the bed. rubbing his face furiously before stomping towards the other side of the room,

he walks in without knocking, ready to say what he needs to say again. yet he stops. heart clenching at the sight of his girl curled up in bed, back facing him.

“love?” he slowly walks over to her laying figure,

“go away” she speaks. now in a softer tone

“please” he begs, walking around the bed and catching a glimpse of her playing with her pink manicured hands. “sweetheart. I’m sorry” he repeats, going down to her eye level before letting his hand moves to rest on her bare thigh. he’s internally relieved when she doesn’t push him off,

he sighs when she’s not looking at him, seemingly only focused on the nails that she had gotten done a week ago.

“i should’ve pushed her off. shouldn’t let her touch me like that. hell, i shouldn’t even let her breathe near me. i know that” he realizes his mistake. “i didn’t even think about what my girl needed. i was being a horrible boyfriend”

no answer,

he sighs again, refusing to look away from her pretty eyes,

“baby—“

“i heard you the first time. leave. and close the door”

toji is taken aback. fuck. she really is mad at him.

“you don’t mean that”

“uhm, yes i do” she retorts in an obvious tone, sassily raising her eyebrow before scooting a bit further from him. she doesn’t realize this but it makes his heart break,

“princess, i swear-“

“go call that girl back to keep you company. let that fucking bitch sleep by your side” she mutters, looking at the tv instead of him,

he can’t take this anymore,

“you know what? that’s it” toji had enough, he will not be sleeping alone and neither will she. standing up on his feet, his hands reach out to circle around her ankles before tugging her body towards him causing her to yelp,

“toji! what the fuck are you doing-oh!” her voice gets cut off the moment he pulls her body up like she weighs nothing. throwing her over his shoulder. “put me down!” her fists start to hitting his back—as if they’re actually hurting him— legs swinging back and forth

“nope” he answers, keeping a firm grip around her waist before swatting her ass, locking the guest room behind him and walking back to their shared one. “you’re driving me crazy, woman—not saying that i hate it, but i’m pretty fucking beat tonight and we are going to sleep together. so stop fighting me”

she huffs, admitting defeat and letting him carry to the bed. “fuck you, toji”

he smirks at that. “oh i will, baby”

magical creatures | m.r. x reader

prompt: may i suggest hufflepuff!reader, or just shy reader who often hangs around by herself or at hagrids hut helping w the magical creatures. yknow the type of person who no one notices is in class cuz she’s so quiet and he’s like,, enamored lowkey bc she’s so gorgiana but so shy. maybe draco calling her a mudblood and matty’s like abt to get in a fight w his own cousin bc of it.

word count: ~2.1k

warning: fluff

an: the end is a little shite, but the rest is good so bare with me.

It was both a blessing and a curse to see thestrals. They were very unique magical creatures in that only those who have seen death can see them. It makes sense, given their appearance. The black skin, the skeletal body, the reptilian face and the wide leather wings. To the unknowing wizard, the animal looked like it came straight from muggle hell. Historically, it was an omen of misfortune to see one, but they were protected on school grounds and oddly enough, they gave you comfort.

You often found yourself out in this part of the forest after you had a particularly hard day. Hagrid was always kind enough to give you some raw meat to feed them, and this was the first day you could see the new foal since she was born. You tossed a portion of meat its way, the foal slowly coming up to sniff it. Once it had a taste, it came up to you, sniffing your bag and begging for more.

You laughed at its enthusiasm, gently petting its neck, “You’re just trying to find your way, aren’tcha bub. That’s okay, me too. This world is hard, but you’ve got your mummy here, she’ll protect you.”

A snapping of twigs made you freeze. No one came to this part of the woods, no one but you and Hagrid, and he was going to be gone for another few hours. You stood up slowly, taking your wand from your jacket pocket.

You held it tight to your side, trying your best to make your voice sound intimidating, “W-who’s there?”

A boy slowly crept out from behind a tree, his hands up in a surrendering position, “Don’t stupify me, please. I didn’t mean to startle you.”

Your grip on your wand loosened slightly, but to say you were confused was an understatement, “Riddle? What’re you doing out here?”

“Could ask you the same thing. What’s a badger like you doing out in the forest?” He wore his infamous smirk, and you weren’t sure if he was trying to be charming, or getting ready to bully you. The lot he hung around, was the leader of more like, made it tough to decipher his motives at times.

“I was just…feeding the new foal,” you gestured towards the creatures behind you.

He looked at you curiously, “You can see them, too?”

You stood up a little straighter, “Yes, Mattheo. I can see them. Slytherin’s aren’t the only ones who can come from a tragic past.”

Mattheo chuckled at this, “Okay, fair point.”

You looked at him curiously, “What're you doing out here?”

He smiled sheepishly now, “I was watching you.” You raised your eyebrows at this.

“Not in a creepy way!” He tried to assure you, hands straight out in front of him. “I just, I’ve been noticing you.”

“You’ve been noticing me?”

“Yeah, I mean. You’re…nice to look at. And you’re…cute when you’re with animals.” His cheeks tinted pink at the confession.

You couldn’t help the blush that crept up your neck, definitely not expecting that from him. You offered him something to feed the foal and he quickly accepted. You watched at he knelt down to the ground, hand extended as the foal slowly walked up to him.

He spoke in a hushed tone, “S’alright, mate, I won’t bite.” You smiled at the scene before you, rough and tough Mattheo Riddle being soft and gentle. He stayed with you in the forest for another hour or so, both of you getting lost in conversation.

He had offered to walk you back to the castle, but you insisted on needing to stop by Hagrid’s before dinner, encouraging him to go on without you.

After that first encounter in the forest, you expected yours and Mattheo’s relationship to go back to the way it was, which was nonexistent. But the next day, when he saw you in the hall’s he ran up to you, quickly falling into step to ask you how your day was going and if you planned on “feeding any strange animals after classes”. He started doing that often, finding you in the hall or after class, asking when you were going to visit some magical creature and asking if he could tag along.

He found himself fond of how soft you were with them, no matter how rough the creature seemed. He would tell you about the grindylows he could see from his dorm window, and the way your eyes lit up made him wish he could take you there and show you himself, just to see your smile take up your whole face again.

He had made a vow to himself to never subject you to the ridicule you would get if he brought you to the Slytherin dorm. Not because you were a hufflepuff, but because of your blood status.

As a half-blood he knows that most Slytherins would look at you like a roast to feast on and their utensils would be harsh words and hexes. Over the last several weeks he found himself growing protective over you.

Around you he didn’t have to put on a mean face, didn’t have to act tough, he could let his guard down. The Mattheo you knew was not the Mattheo that everyone else saw. Where others saw brooding and flying fists, you saw gentle touches and whispers.

You never expected you would ever call Mattheo a friend, but it seemed that’s what he became. Where you were once invisible in classes, you found Mattheo staring at you. When you were always able to slip past your peers in the corridor, his hands always found you, pulling you to his side.

You weren’t naive, you knew the looks you were getting, but with Mattheo near you, you just couldn’t find it in yourself to care. At least that’s how you thought you felt, until you found yourself being dragged by said boy to the Slytherin table for lunch one afternoon.

“Mattheo, no, there’s no way,” you really thought he had lost his mind.

“Oh c’mon, darling, it’ll be fine. We’ll sit at the end or something. I just wanna have lunch with you, pretty pretty please?” He was batting his eyelashes at you. His stupid, dumb, long and beautiful eyelashes and looking at you with the most pleading amber eyes.

You huffed out a long sigh and Mattheo cheered silently in victory, slinging his arm over your shoulder and leading you to the table.

You sat down across from him, listening to him ramble about his latest potions assignment as you filled your plate. The longer he talked and joked the more relaxed you felt. It seemed like it was not going to be as bad as you had made it out to be, until a head of bleach blonde came into view.

“Ya lost, badger?” Pansy Parkinson thought she was clever, but in reality she was just the same as a lap dog, following Draco around like a pathetic lovesick puppy.

You shook your head no, looking down at your plate. “Fuck off, Parkinson,” Mattheo’s harsh words head your head snapping up to watch the scene that was unfolding in front of you.

Draco tsked, “Oh cousin, ran through the lot of Slytherin women already? Needed to find yourself a little mudblood to entertain you?”

Mattheo was up so quickly it seemed like your eyes had glitched. The smirk was immediately gone from Draco’s face as Mattheo gripped the collar of his robes, teeth gritted as he spoke to him, “Don’t use that bloody fucking language around her, you understand me?”

If looks could kill Draco’s funeral would’ve been yesterday. He seemed to understand how serious Mattheo was because the most he answered was a grumbled ‘yes’ before brushing his robes off and walking away, not even sparing you a second glance.

When Mattheo turned back to you his eyes were full of remorse. You spoke before he got a chance, “S’okay, Teo. Let’s just go. We can feed the thestrals before curfew if we leave now.”

You started towards the doors, Mattheo quick to fall in step beside you. When you reached the top of the hill you stopped. Mattheo looked at you quizzically, “Y’alright, love?” You nodded your head, giving him the biggest grin before taking off running toward the forest.

Mattheo stood frozen for a moment, in shock of how cheeky you were being before his brain caught up with him and he darted after you.

“You know I’m captain of the quidditch team, love!” he shouted towards you. You shouted back over your shoulder, “Yeah, well you seem to be struggling without your broom, sir!”

This bit of banter seemed to spur Mattheo further, his feet seemingly moving faster and getting closer and closer to you. You could sense him getting closer, and you could help the butterfly feeling that started to build in your chest.

You reached your familiar spot, bracing yourself on a tree when you felt hand grab your waist and turn you to face him. “You cheated,” he was breathing heavy, but his tone was still playful.

“I thought Slytherin’s were cunning, guess I was wrong,” you shrugged your shoulders, biting your bottom lip gently.

He reached up, cupping your cheek. The pad of his thumb tracing your lower lip, dragging it down slightly. Your breath hitched slightly, watching as his eyes flicked from your lips meeting your eyes again.

You stared into his eyes, wondering if what you think is going to happen is about to actually happen.

“Can I…” he questions, trailing off tilting your chin up. You nod slightly, then his lips capture yours. It was tentative at first, like he was afraid if he kissed you any harder you’d disappear like a dream.

He pulls back, breathing slightly heavy, giving you a silent look as if to ask, ‘is this okay?’ You press your lips back to his as an answer, with more passion this time. It’s wet and messy, tongues dancing as his hands caress the soft curves of your body, pressing you harder into the tree.

He bites down on your bottom lip, sucking it into his mouth causing a whimper to leave your throat. You pull him back by his hair and he lets out a desperate huff. You start to kiss down his neck, finding his pulse point and sucking a fresh hickey to his otherwise flawless tan skin.

You lean back, a smirk spreading on your face as you admire your work. “Proud of yourself, love?” Mattheo’s voice vibrates against your skin, his nose nudging playfully along your jawline. You nodded your head, “Very proud.”

He was looking at you now, hands resting on your hips, but still pressing you into the tree slightly. His face had fallen ever so slightly, looking a little sadder than the moment called for.

“I’m sorry for Draco earlier,” his tone was pained, like he was hurting just thinking about the earlier interaction.

“S’okay, Teo. It’s not the first time someone’s said that to me. Honestly I don’t even think that’s the first time Draco has said it to me,” you laughed a little, but Mattheo could see it didn’t reach your eyes.

He cupped your face again, thumb rubbing soothingly on your cheek, “He’s never going to call you that again, I’ll make sure of it. He should’ve never said that to you in the first place, or ever.”

You grabbed Mattheo’s face, holding it in your hands and making him keep eye contact with you, “Thank you for being so protective of me. It really does make me feel safer.” His cheeks were straining against your hands as he smiled.

“Please, please understand that as long as I’m with you, it doesn’t matter what other people say. Even your cousin, okay? And if he is ever ever mean to me again, which I think is likely. You have my full permission to transfigure him into a ferret again.”

Mattheo laughed at this, a full hearty, deep laugh and you wanted to hear that laugh all the time. Wanted to bottle his joy and happiness and release it on your toughest days to bring you cheer.

Mattheo followed you back to Hagrid’s hut, getting the supplies you needed to feed the thestrals. You watched as he played with the foal. He looked as carefree as you’d ever seen him as you wished he could feel this way every day. The way he looked back over his shoulder, child-like grin adorning his face, you knew you wouldn’t want to be here with anyone else.

Could i request for a Conrad fisher X reader where reader has a younger sibling who gives her a hard time and her parents favour her younger sibling more. It's the reader's bday on the same day as belly's and her family doesn't get her anything and they don't bother with an excuse either and say they don't really care abt her so it doesn't matter. So Conrad comforts her later and if u don't mind u could include some smut at the end?

(this is my situation rn lololol but without Conrad to comfort me😭)

matilda - c.f

summary: request

conrad fisher x reader

a/n: i’m so sorry love, sorry this is a few days late but you are so loved and appreciated no matter what, hope this makes you happy today <3

it’s been a recurring theme for most of y/n’s life. the overheard quotes about the older sibling had eventually become a reality. they didn’t even wait for y/n to try and live up to them. instead, they just accepted that their daughter wasn’t as good as the rest of their children.

as upsetting as it is, kids experience it too much. y/n experiences it every day, so when she realized it wasn’t normal, that’s when it started to hurt more every year.

this day was supposed to be different. she was so excited, turning 18 and finally being an adult. free of her parents if she wanted to be. she thought that maybe, just maybe, her parents would think of her for a day, and make it about it. alas, the second she woke up and walked into the kitchen, y/n’s hopes were shut down.

“y/n, can you take y/b/n to practice? i’m going out with sharon today,” her mom said, barely even looking at her.

“uh, i’m leaving in a bit, remember?” she speaks, trying to sound as polite as possible. “the fishers invited me over for today.”

“hon, we get it,” her dad talks next, peering up over his glasses and newspaper of the town. “but, to some point, it’s just another day. just do what your mother asked.”

y/n looks at her little siblings at the table, messing around and receiving no repercussions. she still remembers when that was her. playing with her parents, happier than she ever was again. she loves her siblings to death, but she loves herself, too. y/n deserves more than she’s been given, so she confides. she drives her brother to whatever practice, wishing him luck as he whispers a happy birthday, then jumping out of the car to see his friends.

she’s already dressed up for the party for belly. the fishers had welcomed her with open arms, even having decorations and sweets for her on the table. everyone figured she’d have something going on at home, but oh, they were so wrong. she didn’t receive a single birthday message from the people who gave her life, so did it matter? even if she didn’t believe it, at least the fishers knew she was worth it. she was dressed in one of her best outfits, a simple dress with small flowers printed over. she had small wedges and her hair was done neatly. she felt pretty, she is pretty.

she walked into the house, belly hearing the door open first. she skips toward, engulfing y/n in a huge hug. “y/n!” she squeals. “happy birthday!”

“oh, belly! happy birthday to you, you look so cute!”

“are you kidding? your man’s gonna go wild when he sees you!” she whispers, making y/n blush toward the end.

“belly, stop!” she nudges. “he’s not my man… yet.”

they giggle together before moving back into the kitchen where y/n greets susannah and laurel, along with the rest of the boys. conrad stands up first, in a heartbeat. he walks over, almost lifting y/n off the ground in a hug.

“hey! happy birthday!” he tells her, excitedly as he pulls away. jeremiah comes piling in next, saying his words to the person he considers a sister.

“didn’t y/m/n have anything planned?” susannah asked from the pure kindness in her heart.

“oh,” y/n mutters. “we, uh, we did something yesterday.”

conrad can tell when y/n lies. he can read her like a book at this point. he’s spent so long fanboying over her that he knows what she’s feeling. when she’s sad, excited, pissed, he knows. it pulls at his heart when he can sense the disappointment in her voice. he starts to get more alarmed with every drink she takes throughout the day. she’s not even a big drinker, never really taking an offer. now he’s positive somethings wrong.

if y/n’s parents didn’t care about her, they don’t care if she drinks, right? she’s with her friends, she’s allowed to. plus. it’ll take the edge off of the internal wounds her parents have left her with. her feelings on the whole matter start to disintegrate for a while, until belly’s cake comes out and is handed to her. it’s so nicely done, perfect detail and so much love. they put time into her cake and party, and y/n can’t help the jealousy rising up. she vividly remembers every one of her younger siblings birthdays. all of them having their friends and a party, while y/n was just locked in her room on her birthday. the presents and the cheesy grins from everyone were overwhelming every year. she couldn’t help but think about what it could be like with her real family. maybe they could love her as much as she deserves, but in reality, they won’t. they can, but they chose not to, which hurts even more.

y/n stumbles around on the balcony, around people while carefully savoring every last drop of whatever is in her can. she’s probably had too many, but she doesn’t care. it’s almost like it’s reversed itself now. she watches belly open all of her presents and receive hugs and kisses, and the lump in her throat becomes thicker. she thinks of the alcohol as her enemy now, just bringing back the thoughts in her sober mind.

it’s not until everyone hears the clicking of y/n’s heels on the pavement that they notice her walking away. her hand is swiping away the loose tears and everyone looks at conrad. if there’s anyone y/n wants to see, it’s him. they’ve been in love for so long, it’s almost painful to watch. as she walks away, blurry vision from the alcohol and the tears, she tries to grab another can from the box before a hand stops her.

“i don’t think that’s a good idea,” conrad says, gently taking it out of her hand and landing it back in the box.

“oh, great. more fuckin’ judgment,” she retorts, making conrad’s face contort.

“hey, what’s going on? you’ve been off all day.”

“i am, perfectly fine,” y/n slurs. conrad places a hand on her shoulder, and takes them to sit on the steps. his arm is wrapped around her, the other one gripping her hand.

“i know you’re not. it’s ok to not be ok,” he looks at her nose scrunch and her cheeks turn red again. “hey, hey, don’t cry, you’re alright.”

“no,” she weeps out, putting her head in her hands. “i’m a mess! i don’t know what to do, i cant make it any better and i’ve been trying for 14 fucking years!”

“hold on,” he keeps his voice low. “what do you mean?”

“my parents don’t give a shit. they haven’t since y/b/n was born and they didn’t even bother about me anymore,” conrad pulls her into his arms, leaning back as her teardrops soak into his shirt. “i didn’t do anything for this, and belly’s being loved unconditionally without having to fight for it. and i feel like a bitch getting upset over it but-“

“absolutely not. don’t say that ever again. you don’t deserve anything they’re giving you. anything they’ve said to you is a fucking lie. i know who you are. you’re the most perfect, beautiful person i’ve ever met, inside and out. you don’t have to prove anything to them, because they don’t deserve your amazingness,” he speaks to her. it’s nothing but the truth, and nothing he would ever hesitate to say. “and i will spend forever trying to prove to you that you’re nothing but beautiful a beautiful person.”

y/n looks up at him, only bursting into more tears as he laughs a bit. “oh, my god, conrad. i love you, so much. i know i’m drunk but i mean it more than anything.” she’s felt nothing like she does now. she’s never had someone accept her so quickly and with so much appreciation. she feels like she can do nothing but cry and just love on him.

“i’m glad,” he begins again. “because i love you, too. no matter what your parents say or do. they don’t define you.”

and in this moment, for the first time in a long time, y/n knows someone loves her. and he’s not just saying it for comfort. she doesn’t need her parents to be loved. if they can’t do that, there will forever be someone out there who loves her just as much. she knows she’s enough, and that’s enough.

hiiiiiii thinking abt how mei was super uncomfortable with the idea of mk visiting her house and all of the "normal kid stuff" she wasn't allowed to do and how she and mk share a lot of traits but only the ones that mei's parents wouldn't have approved of. mks literally like. the parts of her she doesnt want to bring home

HEYO! forgive me, i was asleep then had to get to class. also, i wanted to give myself time to actually talk about this because yeah

*pulls you down* listen, listen to me, until 1x03, MK had never even been inside Mei's house. he even states how he "always wanted to see inside Mei's Secret Dragon House," and Mei housesitting the place is the perfect opportunity for him to see what lies inside. AND! if you notice!!!

SHE IS SHOWN TO BE VERY UNCOMFY AT MK JUST SPECULATING WHAT "SECRETS" ARE HIDING IN THERE. INVITING MK WOULD BE THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT HER PARENTS ASKED HER TO DO!

but MK is so curious and he's her best friend and he might also just sneak in without her knowing.....so maybe she'll indulge him. housesitting is a lot better with friends than on your own.

anyway, if we go further into the episode, we see a Mei that is very different to our chaotic and confident gal. she's closed-in, cautious, nervous. unlike before, Mei is the one warning others not to touch things, to be careful, and to stay put. in previous episodes, we see her goofing off and being a little gremlin with MK while Pigsy blows a fuse over their antics.

not here though. this is her home. her clan's home. her clan's home full of ancestral heirlooms that she's been told all her lie to keep away from and not touch. respect your family and family tree is very important in Chinese culture (and many other Asian cultures but we're focusing just on one). even the language has different forms of formalities with addressing people (whether in the business environment, home, or school). but this is a very general observation, and i'm sure there are others who can talk about this a lot better.

however, Mei's family is very important to her character, so i will be discussing how it relates to her and her own decisions. on her own, Mei is very free-spirited and is more of a "punch first ask questions later" kind of person. when it comes to her family though, Mei is a lot more toned down and thinks first before acting. she is very aware of the priceless artifacts kept in her home (which is one factor on why she is nervous about inviting MK), and watching how she went about her home was like she was walking on eggshells. she doesn't want to upset and disappoint her parents.

additionally, Mei comes from a very well-off family. she is a part of the Western Sea Dragon clan. her ancestor is Ao Lie, the dragon-horse of the JTTW companions. why am i telling you things you already know? because it shows that Mei's family comes with a lot of history and recognition ("ancient noble dragons," as Mei had said). and with that, comes with the clan wanting to appear respectable in front of others. with such a high status, it is best to look the part, no?

however, Mei isn't really someone who fits into that noble lady box, right? she's outspoken, she's rowdy, she's impulsive. Mei even admit that as a kid she wished to do "normal girl stuff," stuff that wouldn't work out when your house is more of a museum than a home. i'm sure she did try to fit into that box for the good of her parents, but at some point, you come to the realization that that box will never fit you. Mei will never be perfectly noble or have the noble decorum that comes with her upbringing. she will never fit that ideal her parents raised her on (this is an assumption but also, it feels like a given?)

MK is the exact opposite of what Mei was taught to be proper. he is rowdy, likes to have fun, play video games, "roughs and tumble," and be impulsive. he is someone Mei definitely saw as the part of her she could never show her parents. how could they ever accept the side of her that does not care for strict decorum and keeping a house as a museum.

read this excerpt from her mom:

"We may not always see eye to eye, and your friends are...em, unique than we expected. But you are a part of this family, and it is part of you."

ignoring the incredibly sweet ending T^T the mother admits that Mei and her parents do have issues agreeing on what's best for Mei. there is love very clearly shown for between Mei and her parents, but there is still that distance between them. Mei is not the daughter they expected, and they don't always approve of her choices (her friends for example). so, we can figure that Mei is absolutely nervous about how her parents will feel about MK and whether that means they would stop loving her if she ever let down her walls in front of them completely.

#rewatched this episode just for you <3 #where is this energy for my midterm essay T^T #i am once again only capitalizing names and proper nouns bc i am lazy and it's more fun #me at the beginning: this will be a short couple of comments. i will not ramble into a long meta commentary #me as i screenshot 2 scenes from the desired episode: this will still STAY a short response. i will not succumb to the meta gremlins #me at the end: .....fuck #lmk #lego monkie kid #lmk mei #lmk long xiaojiao #lmk analysis #lmk meta #asks

Poe and Ranpo meeting a teen, 12-13, reader who’s basically murderous like Kyoka who has a powerful ability (on a rampage the first time Poe/Ranpo meet reader lol-). Except instead of reader getting a redemption (Atsushi and kyoka jumping out of the train scene) a little bit after meeting, it takes days to months even. And really, they’re just a traumatized young kid who took to murder as a coping mechanism after being taught to do so. They’re really curious about things most would already know their age

Sorry sorry if it’s a bit too detailed or you can’t understand

Do you think I want to live like this?

Warnings: spoilers for Season 4 episode 5 and gore (I think that's all)

It was only a few hours after Ranpo and Poe hears mushitaro getting shot in the head. Ranpo kept thinking of the warning mushitaro gave him.

"THE AGENCY WILL GET A JOB, NEVER ACCEPT IT! ACEPPTING IT WOULD DESTROY THE AGENCY"

Ranpo and Poe both felt saddened by Mushitaro's death.

As they were walking down the street, talking abt what that job would be, ranpo tried using his ultra deduction, but it hadn't worked for some reason.

The sounds of screams were heard as Ranpo and Poe's eyes widened, they started running towards the alley where they heard the screams from.

There stood a young girl, she was 12-13, she held a katana, that katana being covered in blood.

There were a huge amount bodies, small and big, it didn't matter to the young girl, as long as she got to kill, she didn't care.

At this point she was hitting the already dead person with the katana (legit hitting them).

She couldn't stop, she just couldn't, she wanted more, she wanted to kill more.

Ranpo went closer to her, but Poe was against it, Poe held out his hand to stop Ranpo, but he gave up as he realised Ranpo wouldn't stop.

Ranpo put his hand on the little girls' shoulder, knowing that she doesn't know what she's doing.

She slowly turned her head around, looking angry, but deep down, she was just a little girl in distress and just wants to be saved, but no one comes to save her, she's still waiting, wanting to be saved, but no one ever saves her.

"Do you wanna get killed like the others? Or are you gonna run and then get killed? Choose quickly and wisely." She said without hesitation.

"...."

"Ranpo! Why did you do that?!" Poe shout-whispered.

"First, I'll kill you both, then I'll kill my self. That's what I was ordered to do. Do my mission and die."

"You will not kill any of us. You are never gonna kill anyone again." Ranpo said boldly, clearly trying to stop the girl from completing her "mission", honeslt, who would make 13 year old girl do such job?

"Well then, I guess I have no choice but to kill myself..."

Ranpo pushed the katana out of the girls' hands and gripped both her shoulders

"NO! YOU ARE NOT GONNA KILL YOURSELF OR ANYONE!"

Poe stood shocked, and the young girls' eyes opened wide

"W- Who are you to tell me what to do?! I don't even know you!"

Her eyes started glossing as she started to cry. Poor girl.

She hugged Ranpo tight, crying.

Ranpo signaled that Poe can go, Poe went away of course, leaving them with the privacy they need.

She hugged ranpo even more tight

"I'm sorry,I'm sorry,I'm sorry, I'm sorry.." at this point she was shouting her apologies.

Ranpo hugged her back, remembering when he had a break down when fukuzawa was yelling at him, it was all the same.

"Shh, its ok..."

She kept crying,crying and crying, until she finally calmed down, still sobbing a bit.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Y/N...I don't have a last name."

You can come with me to the agency, we can get you anew katana."

"Thanks..."

HI!! i adore your mc ianthe👉👈

i just wanted to ramble about how i think her and my mc would be very cute friends! The ravenclaw but slytherin at heart and the gryffindor but hufflepuff at heart duo dynamic is everything to me !

My mc kieran is too big of a people pleaser and ianthe like not giving a shit makes me think abt the difference in how theyd react to zenobia like:

zenobia: who could do such a terrible thing to me like thats so rude!

Kieran: oh :( thats horrible! For the record i think youre pretty great zenobia!

Ianthe: yea pretty great at being a little bitch

Kieran: IANTHE YOU CANT SAY THAT—

Ianthe would have to be the one dragging kieran by the collar anytime ppl would walk up to the two of them to ask if they can do a task for them and ianthe is casually flipping the other student off, “nope. Leave us alone.” “IM SORRY—SEND ME A LETTER AND ILL—“ ianthe covers his mouth while yelling back “no he wont dont talk to us <3”

omfg hello i love this i love u very much /p HDHSHD

they'd be so feral as friends on god, just two gremlins with polar opposite opinions

also yea she doesn't give a shit most of the time unless she gets something in return so everytime kieran drags her into helping a student she's just like 'the either one of you better at least give me a book in return or ill leave faster than beating sebastian's arse' HDHAHSHSHD

their reaction to the duncan quest one would be funny cause ianthe's refusing to go cause she isnt gonna risk her and kieran's life for some kid who's scared of puffskeins while kieran on the other end accepted the task without hesitation

heres another one for every other questlines with, in my personal opinion, really dumb or unnecessary tasks

shes trying to push him out of the conversation and poor lad kieran just wants to be nice 😭

#thank u again for the ask i wasnt expecting ppl to like her much tbh 😭#just akai things #hphl #hogwarts legacy #hogwarts legacy mc #hogwarts legacy oc #hphl oc #ianthe court #kieran morbid #kieran lestrange #my art #duncan hobhouse

NUH UH NO ABSOLUTELY NOT. ENDURE YOUR PAIN?!?!? I KNEW. OKAY?? I KNEW IT WAS COMING BUT LIKE NOT THAT SOON. RIP MY HEART OUT WHY DONT YOU???? (I say this as I greedily reread it 5 times angst au’s always get me) I love the way reader was the one keeping Gojo and Geto on balance with their morals and then when she’s not there they don’t know anything anymore. AND THE BASKETBALL SCENE??? WITH THE PROMISE OF MARRYING EACH OTHER AT 20??? I HOWLED IN PAIN AT THAT PART. I’m a sucker for those kinds of promises. OH MY GOD AND SHOKO STILL TRYING TO HEAL HER EVEN THO SHE KNOWS SHES GONE I CANNOT. Honestly this fic gave me such whiplash cause I was all comfortable with your fluff and then BAM you hit us with THIS. The way they mourned her as if she never left also had me holding my head like it’s the refusal to accept that she’s gone for me. I’m just in awe every time you post cause it always ends up being exactly what I need atm. Okokok what’re your thoughts on an au where reader stays dead and doesn’t miraculously come back to life and how Gojo, Geto, and Shoko grow up without her. Like what would be the changes in that future without reader cause I’m so so so curious. ALSO IDEA but I need this au too where she wakes up in a hospital bed and is so confused like where is everyone and walks all the way back to school in her gown and scares the absolute crap out of everyone being all depressed and everyone’s like they’ve seen a ghost but readers just worried if they’re all alright and fretting over them adjkhghg. Sorry if that was a lot reading your fic sent my brain into overdrive and the ideas just started coming? Also how are you? Have you eaten today? Drank water?

- 🍊 anon

i’m glad i gave u whiplash. i love having extremely contrasting sides hahahah

i’ve not been eating well but there’s lots of water LOL

honestly i was abt to not answer this ask since u make me want to give u spoilers for being so nice to me but i’ll sprinkle crumbs

with reader dying in dyf au, gojo experienced extreme loss, enough to the point that it would drive him to his breaking point if suguru had left too

which is why he was able to be there for him unlike in canon

reader staying dead will end up with them growing up with some form of longing for her, whether it be from negligible (buying trinkets that remind them of her, snacks, drinks etc.)

to extreme (SPOILERS IM NOT GONNA SAY SHIT)

re-request me if u want that alternative end where she wakes up in the hospital and escapes from it like a mental asylum patient

i want more interactions and ppl to talk to me i’m lonely ok so i’m making u come into my inbox again

i dont think Byler are going to be together but its funny how them ending up as a couple would be less forced than Mike and El continung to date. the fact im supposed to believe its romantic lol. makes me roll my eyes. Mikes personality since season 3 is Els bf and when she left they had no idea what to do with him it shows. Will El Mike all of them are getting done so dirty. El atleast they are doing something with her outside Blandleven. Mike became an asshole out of nowhere. Will has no spine im surprised how he is still capable of walking without it and lets Mike get away with being trash. Duffers need to be hauled away and replaced with competent people that will do season 5 justice because lets be honest they cant do that. they struggle with storylines that i saw many fanfic writers handle with ease. one thing i look forward to is all the fix-it fics after the mess season 5 comes out and everyone reallses they tricked themselves and no Duffers never were geniuses you just made that up in your head.

also Noah and Finn acting sucks their last good performances were season two idk why yall cant accept it.

First of all how dare you say I don't accept FW sucks. More so how dare you say he was good in the first 2 seasons when he was annoying as fuck? The thing with Noah (I disagree ABT him being a bad actor but you do you) is Will's hardly there so really not that bad if you don't enjoy him. Can't say the same about whiny wheeler.

Mileven has no chemistry but idts it matters cuz it's got bsy and people tend to love that. So like idk. Idk abt byler being together so much as the at the end of very end getting together. But I'm over them in general so I'll be lying if I said I give a damn.

S5 can't fix S3 n S4 so let them continue the trainwreck.

ep18 (1/2): in which wwx manipulates and lies to his friends and family (lovingly)

forgot this. he can just fly around catching birds. no wonder it's so easy to camp

I feel like birthdays really only crop up in american tv in the context of little kids. it's something children do.

xy twirling his hair as he walks away 😭 can your believe ppl still ship them after he murdered SL's entire family

this was such a good change for the show to make bc 1. this introduces the idea of bssr really naturally and 2. it gives wwx another interaction with SL, which is emotionally significant later for both us and the characters

also they need to slip in his backstory and all of its parallels to wx somehow and waiting until yi city is way too late

oh cool I love a t/n

wwx making it a mystical quest bound in ceremony and ritual to prevent jc from suspecting or asking too many questions, and to control his actions. ugh

that post abt jc hero-worshipping wwx continues to baffle me. in fact this is the only time we ever see jc so eager to follow wwx's directions and do what he says

'let her do anything' she is a grown woman she can gather herbs if she wants and what authority do you have to stop her 😭

this smile after he convinces jc about his plan is so haunting. you can see he's sxcited and then the smile fades and he just looks...resigned? fucking misery

yanqing warriors! when wwx mentions jyl leaving soon, wen qing freezes and doesn't say anything for a few seconds. what can it mean hmm?

I don't think jc would have accepted the core if he knew what wwx planned, which is why wwx kept it secret. one of the reasons

this is kind of manipulative no? not in a way to hurt her just to get her to agree with his plan. and maybe he means it too. maybe he would have done with without the debt of the jiangs held over his head. we'll never know

drugging you sister. sir!

I think it's really funny when wwx insults jc sorry I always will. he deserves to at least a little

first shot of wwx looking like a little mousie with his threabare pillow and jc a raging little brat. very similar to the first shot of the show! wwx bleeding and suicidal, and jc stalking over to finish the job. but in that scene and this one, we see there's more to the story

im going to fucking isekai myself into cql universe for the sole purpose of cuddling this child

you know I was so excited for jfm to say that. like go jfm! the haters were wrong about you! you love and protect at least one child under your care!

and then it IMMEDIATELY cuts to wwx hours later freezing because jfm told him 'jc is a good kid' and then he LEFT HIM THERE AND WENT TO BED

FUCK HIM FUCK HIM FUCK HIM. USELESS BASTARD. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM HERE

ugh it's not cool to hate on a 9 year old esp since he's lonely and neglected by his dad but he's such a brat

her parents and sect are so useless this preteen girl has to go out into the woods at like 1 am to find her new brother

wwx's first instinct was to find a tree to climb. dogs can't climb trees, but how many trees were in yiling for him to learn to climb? hmm

wwx falling is such a theme and jyl being the only one besides lwj to ever try to catch him....ough. his two lights indeed

jyl also actually explains why jc is upset rather than just telling him he'll be fine

HALF A DAY??!! hasn't he suffered enough. mein gott

and of course now she has to parent her two baby brothers one of whom is very traumatized and newly adopted and the other is very socially inept and clumsy so he came out to help and now he's BLEEDING. if I was her I would have carried so much resentment as an adult oops her parents are dead so I guess she can't even if she wanted to

YOU WILL SAY IT CRYING SOMEDAY

it's significant that (iirc) jc never says he's sorry in the main timeline. only twice in the story - here and at the very end. a lot of people consider the finale the end of their relationship, but I prefer to see it as a reset. a renewal. they're starting again. jc is crying and he's sorry for hurting wwx, and wwx forgives him because he's a nice kid and because he does care about him. and they can start from there, even if things will be different

they don't have jyl anymore, but everything's come out between them. they can coexist on equal footing. wwx has someone who protects him. jc doesn't resent him so much. all his anger is spent. he feels bad. they won't be what they were before, but I like to think they'll at least have some of the brotherhood they once did

jc also crying in his sleep with this flashback. lot of sleep crying these days

!!! I love talking about homestuck thank you. tell me about you selfship first? what the story? what are your ghb thoughts? do you have any thoughts about kurloz that go with it? how about the clown church as a whole? have you seen the "playing with the big boys now" animatic because i think of it as a requirement to show others when they like the makaras -🔮

YESSSS, thank you so much!! im actually gonna use a readmore cuz this is gonna be LONG u can also talk to me abt any of my general headcanons or w/e, ive been a homestuck since like 2011 and lived through homestuck canon rp tumblr + the end of the series so i have Opinions^tm

my s/i for my GHB selfship is actually a troll that i lazily gave my own name (Auriel Soleil, since it fits in with the 6/6) but their title is the Producer! they're running a colony thats focused on stripping planets of their resources and registering trolls for those types of jobs, as well as training subjugs on how to successfully control and maintain order by assigning them managerial jobs over these trolls.

they originally started out as a Barzum/Baizli ancestor, but they only have Baizlis sign and part of their backstory is that prior to Ascension they were a very well trained laughassasin who had twin matesprits/kismesis that were psionic inventors, who were eventually culled due to some unknown circumstance(possibly a dispute over patent rights, they were not told)

the way they met GHB was post-ascension they had a prior mentor who was rather cocky about their abilities as they were chosen as one of the best out of their Ascension group, who brought them to a 'party' that he was also attending. at some point, someone spiked their drink with something that was a very intense stimulant, and apparently the carnage that ensued after made the Highblood so entertained that he basically told their mentor to fuck off and decided to have them work for him.

at some point they were 'gifted' the colony and attained their title, but the actual point where they became involved with him was over time they began talking more outside of mandatory reviews. they struggled very much with accepting any feelings for him, many pillows were bunny kicked in anger and frustration, but eventually he asked them to visit them and, as a mild germaphobe, spent the first day of that visit scrubbing him clean and giving him physical care.

as for my thoughts on GHB, he is a big scary man who enjoys terrorizing people, and is actually quite (morbidly) funny and likes being around people who are also like that. i DON'T think he likes the Empress or any seadwellers whatsoever, though he obviously understands that his place in the hierarchy offers him more benefit than it would if he turned against the empire.

i also think hes much like Kurloz, hes not a loud man unless hes angry or wanting to actually frighten someone and he is actually quite well composed and socially aware, able to read people very well through observation alone. he is very devoted to his religion, far more than his loyalty to the Empire, and is very strict about the rituals and rules that come with it when it comes to his self discipline.

my opinions on Kurloz as a separate entity is 'hot, terrifying, tore his tongue out for hurting his gf and drank respect women juice.' hes also how i got my girlfriend to be open to more clown stuff and now she f/os like a bunch of clowns, so thank u for ur service in making my gf sorta like clowns. you walked so i could wear facepaint without making her shit her pants.

majority of my headcanons when it comes to clown church is that the kids on Alternia fundamentally misunderstand the actual full scope of the religion itself- even those Ascending like Chahut and Marvus will not have experienced the real world of how the church works, much like how children don't understand the corruption of churches irl.

facepaint is sacred and unique. it must be applied a specific way, with specific tools, and to be seen without face paint is a major faux pas to say the least. only the troll themselves and their moirail/trusted quadrantmate should remove their face paint, in private and with a special cloth and removal materials.

culling is not something that you do on the daily, and its meant to be done in a way that either is funny, 'accidental' blind rage, or in a sacrificial manner during festivals or other such congregational meetings.

i do believe that the church, as an entity, is inherently abusive in this way even if its individual members are not. highbloods are given a lot more leniency, but this doesn't mean that the internal workings of the church itself aren't rife with judgement and personal misgivings about how someone behaves or appears.

having 'minor' deformities that wouldn't get you culled by the empire can be seen as bad, such as polydactyly which normally might not get you culled, but you will receive ridicule for it as 'its funny' which is a common thing to do similar to hazing where a newly recruited subjug will be scrutinized and have their nickname become their 'church name' and something they'll be called until they either leave that colony/congregation, or until they do something that makes them 'funnier' than having a rude nickname.

I HAVE, my moirail showed me and i felt like id been shot multiple times. they also f/o him!

heres the nonbinary icon themselves in all its shitty phone editor glory, they/them or it/its plz!

#📬 an offering of blood || ask/submission #🖋️ object of affection || self #homestuck #ill probably make a tag for him and my other homestuck f/os #also you cant see it but their tiddy right out there this is their 'formal' outfit and meant to look similar to Barzum and Baizlis outfit #just with a more regal flare and more asymmetrical #i dont have colored stuff because id prefer to do it digitally #they also enjoy mask making as a hobby!!#drugs #holy fuck i almost forgot to tag tws #religion #abuse

yes i cried over merlin s2ep9 and i will admit it bc i need to talk abt it to express just how much it was bc im so emotionally traumatized that there are only two things that will make me cry literally only two in very extreme amount but this shit right here did it for me anyway

i saw somebody a while ago say smth abt merlin definitely actually wanting to leave a few times freya being one of them bc hes been so repressed that just being allowed to be himself without hiding anything makes him fall in love with a girl in two days so much that hes gonna abandon his destiny and his friends to go live with her and be who he is, they are the ‘holy shit for the love of jesus christ our lord and savior get me the fuck out of here’ to each others ‘literally please im so lonely im surrounded by ppl but they all would want me dead if they knew’ and that is just beautiful it is a whole new level of crazy to someones crazy it is going insane to someones going insane and that is magnificent

also the part where she recognizes him while shes a beast tormenting the town that she runs away they need to save each other so bad that it can fuck up some old roach’s curse

AND THEN thats right im not done AND FUCKING THEN at the lake when merlins holding her and shes all like “oh u save me i am loved now i die good ehe” then she dies like that its so heartbreaking bc its like yeah she got saved bc she got to die with that but what abt him she just fucking left him like that to keep livin la vida loca (bad) with all the shit he almost managed to run away from

AND THEN (last one) when merlins doing stuff for arthur and he walks in and sits next to him to see whats up (literally beautiful that a prince would sit his royal ass on that floor next to his servant to make sure hes ok) and he has no idea abt freya so he treats it like a normal ass situation so merlin kinda acts different then falls into normal rhythm

(new paragraph it woulda been too long i have so much to say abt this) i was thinking abt how merlin handles certain situations bc like how is he not literally imploded rn then i realized the way id handle that shit is sit and think abt it but he doesnt do that, hes actually rly rly smart he just goes thru too much shit to actively and consistently be smart so he does like he did in this one and falls into a routine so that he doesnt think he just goes and keeps livin la vida loca and doesnt even worry abt it cuz hes not thinking abt it bc thats how he copes is not thinking abt it cuz hes smart

so i think arthur unconsciously knows this which is why he just comes in and fucks with merlin a lil bit then lists off the things to do so merlin definitely feels better bc it helps him not think but at the end when hes like deciding a facial expression hes thinking then and hes thinking “shit man im never getting out of here i gotta fuckin live like this goddamn that sucks ass” bc he knows its gonna be years till uther dies and years after that till arthur accepts magic and all that time he has to keep hunting his own kind and being an ally in the war literally against what he is and keep being praised for it (reference to s2ep8) and doesnt have a choice bc as hes recently learned fate will not let him run away with a girl and give up his destiny so he can live a good healthy life

#merlin #merthur #merlin bbc #whisky thinks things #literally fucking help me #i am so severely unhealthy obsessed with these little faggots and their little fruit cake activities #listening to bauhaus while writing this post all we ever wanted was everything is exactly what they are i swear

Scrimblo AU plot summary under the cut bc I haven't actually shared much of what it's abt.

To start off;

Alternates are called 'Spoopy/Spooky Ghosts' by humans and they don't care whether they're called that or alternates.

Mork=Mark, Chaser=Cesar, Juice=Jonah, Apple=Adam, K=N, Imposter=Intruder, Six-nine=Six/TV Intruder, Dab-riel=Gabriel.

Last names do not exist solely bc I do not want them to, if people are called the same thing too bad.

Imposter and Six-nine are two different characters.

Most humans switch between "tolk liek dis" and "talk like this" just because. Alternates only "talk like this" however.

Now more into the lore;

Alternates have two forms, human and "real"(the scary things). Being in a human form takes energy(they have limited), so alternates usually can only hold one for so long. They also can't sleep (they more energize through just not doing too much) and eat (they have no need since they automatically regain energy).

Almost everybody except Imposter is short, adults+most alternates(including Dab-riel) are at 3', children are 1-2', Imposter is 6'. Sometimes alternates can shift their form to be taller though.

Dab-riel is basically the Devil instead of Antichrist, in his own way. Basically, Dab-riel was an angel who was disgraced after getting greedy and starting to visit Earth without permission and do things like kill whole species just to see what would happen to God's kingdom. After God found out, Dab-riel was cast out, retaining his wings, however they didn't work since he could no longer go back to Heaven. So, out of vengence, he decided to try to become the new God, messing with his plans for Mary and Noah.

Through Noah, he tried to create something, his first alternate, it was a mess but Dab-riel loved it anyways, letting it go rabid like a dog on Noah, watching lovingly as it did. Through that, it tried to create more and more, getting better and better at creating these things, now making them almost identical to humans.

One of these was Imposter, being one of the first steps to making successful doppelgangers, another was Six-nine who could only really be seen on certain wavelengths/spectrums but was so close to being a doppelganger, and then there's K, the first successful doppelganger who could change its form to fit any human's.

Dab-riel, wanting to become the new God, decided the first step was to turn God's followers against him, making alternates for this reason and this reason alone: Find humans, scare them into acceptance of him, if not, kill them off. All were assigned specifically to their own human(s), some got to have exactly one person, others multiple, and a select few got to have an specific large amount/group.

Imposter was assigned to multiple people, mostly young children like Mork. Sex-nine was assigned a large group, children who watched the TV.

K was one of the ones assigned to a specific person, this person being Chaser himself. After getting into his home, he scared Chaser in his kitchen late at night while he had a knife, and while trying to run, Chaser tripped and stabbed himself in the eye and the brain, killing him.

Chaser was visiting his moms' house during that time, and hearing the noise, she tried to investigate the noise, K panicking because he wasn't supposed to try to scare Chaser's mom or any other person, only Chaser, so it's not like he could kill her or anything without maybe some consequences. So, K morphed quickly into Chaser with a suit, the fastest to copy, and hid Chaser's body as his mom came in, disguising its voice as Chaser's.

After that, K buried Chaser in his mom home's backyard, and tried to pass off as Chaser for the time being, kinda getting comfortable with the form and also how Chaser's mom treated him better than Dab-riel might. During the day he was Chaser, and the night he was K, and Chaser's mom might've accidentally walked in on him once at night and got too scared and. Possibly died, but he can't tell.

So, he calls up Mork, remembering Chaser and him were roommates and finding his phone number through a contact list Chaser's mom had right by the phone and asked him if maybe he could turn on the cameras so Chaser's mom doesn't get robbed while he tried to "drive"(truth is he can turn into a car, I think all alternates can do this bc of scrimblo, fuck you) "his" mom to the hospital. Mork agreed.

Mork did so, but then whoops, his car got switched put by an alternate sent specifically to scare him, let's just call it "M", and it crashed his car, thinking it had killed him and escaping back to Dab-riel, but unfortunately he was still alive and had to go the hospital himself.

Luckily, both Mork and Chaser's mom are a-ok, and now K has to deal with his new found affection(platonic don't worry) towards his victim's familiars, mostly towards Chaser's mom, and how maybe he wants to BE Chaser instead of just going back to Dab-riel, so he does become a replacement of Chaser, telling that he just likes wearing suits all the time(the real reason is K can't shift very well into any different outfit) and an alternate attacked him and that's why his right eye is messed up.

For two whole years after that, he lives with Mork, both of them living normally before K accidentally reveals he's an alternate by not being able to hold his form and scaring Mork in his room for like a day until he couldn't take being cramped in there anymore and confronted K about what happened to the real Chaser and was going to happen now.

K told Mork what happened (to Mork's dismay at hearing his bff being replaced so easily) but Mork decides to forgive him because what's done is done but tells him to stop pretending to be Chaser. Eventually K also tells Chaser's mom he's dead(but doesn't explain him being replaced) and never tries contacting her again.

For 17 years, Mork and K lived comfortably though, K getting so used to his human form it started to become apart of his "real"(y'know the whole alternate look) form, and Mork became comfortable with his scars and stuff (the reason why he mostly wore long sleeved hoodies was bc he was conscious about his scars), and K also learns how to shift a bit better(he can do other outfits than just the suit) and how to maintain his human form longer. Also Mork is now like 35 instead of 18 in 1992 (where the car crash took place, 1994 was when it was revealed Chaser was an alternate).

During those 17 years, Apple was born and taken away from his mom by his dad and he never saw her again, just assuming she was dead. In his elementary years, he met Juice and they became BFFs. In high school, after spending years watching ghost-hunter shows and things of the like, they decided to run away and start their own spiritual business when both were 16 in 2009.

They stole a bunch and now they're wanted by the government. One time they got called by a cat, but Apple somehow understood what it was saying, and met at the house we see in vol. 2, THAT IS NOT CHASER'S/MORK'S OLD HOUSE THIS IS A DIFFERENT ONE, and Apple gets trapped with an alternate(Six-nine) in the basement while Juice just sits in a car not knowing.

Six-nine knows he hates birthday parties, so he tries throwing him one (even if its not his birthday) and tries to slowly tell him the only way out of this is to either die or accept Dab-riel as his new God. Apple begrudgingly accepts Dab-riel as his new god and gets to run out of there back to Juice and tells him to floor it outta there !!!!!!!

So they survive all well, and at some point Mork hears abt their service and as a joke asks them to get rid of his alternate-replaced roommate (Chaser), kinda wanting to see what exactly they would try.

They arrive and get scared at Chaser's appearance (he didn't know ppl were coming over and was in a bit of a fucked up version of Chaser bc it's easier to maintain) and they try to ward him off with things they learned abt on the internet (mostly just chanting) and get to find Mork laughing at them once walking in, Chaser and the boys confused.

Mork thanks them and pays them, telling Chaser abt how he called them up to see if whatever they did worked (thankful it didn't). But, the boys are too intrigued by this human and alternate being... FRIENDS!?!?

So they basically try to ask questions before Mork and Chaser get uncomfortable with hiow much they're asking and kick them out, but unfortunately Apple and Juice are too curious and end up staying in their car watching over their house before being found out by Mork.

He scolds them, telling them they need to go home and leave them alone, and they proudly told him they have no home, they ran away and this car was BASICALLY their home, so TECHNICALLY they were already home. Mork gets concerned at that, asking if maybe they could run back home, but they told him they couldn't.

So, he answers some questions they have before forcing them inside Chaser's and his house, Chaser saying an awkward hello and shifting to his human form (not in front of them, it's scary to watch that).

Mork tries to ask if they have anybody to live with, the answer is no and they're also wanted by the government so that means if they try asking for a new home, they'll most likely be arrested. Mork, out of the kindness of his heart, decides that well fine, if nobody else will look after you, I will, and they allow him to do that, mostly just wanting to get close to Chaser through this.

But, eventually, they do just start to like living there instead of only living there to get close to Chaser and they all get close together and live happily ^_^.

And that'sss really it, Mork+Chaser help with Apple and Juice's whole ghost business and alternates are still trying to convince ppl Dab-riel is their one God now and yah.

i just read the manga shimanami tasogare and i honestly fucking adored it. (this is gonna include minor spoilers for one of the final lines of the manga and one of the final panels, tho no plot things are revealed)

it’s about a boy who worries that he’s been outed as gay at school who stumbles upon a “drop-in center” run primarily by lgbtq+ people. owned by the mysterious “someone-san” whose true name we never learn, the drop-in center serves as a safe space for people from all walks of life.

the main character, tasuku, learns gradually about the people around him’s problems and joys and eventually discovers how to accept himself in a world that seems to reject him and people like him.

it’s fantastic. written by a queer person, for queer people, it is one of the most gorgeous mangas i’ve read since blue flag.

i could talk abt someone-san for a long time i think. she’s a character with (decidedly) no identity, who wishes to just be “someone from no where”. she exists (willingly) as a background character in the spaces that she owns, though those places have been created by the people who come, go, and stay in them. she welcomes people into the drop-in center and tells them “you can tell me anything. i won’t listen, though.” and serves as an ear for people who need it. she’s an enigma to her friends, though they have never felt she doesn’t care for them.

i think i came to understand someone-san in this story as just that. she’s someone. there is someone there to listen. someone present in a place you can go if you need a safe space. she is a person, though i think narratively she serves as an overarching concept. that of someone always being present should you need a shoulder. you might not know them, but there is always someone.

the manga itself is not supernatural, though the art has lots of supernatural elements to demonstrate the emotional weight present in certain scenes. someone-san is given supernatural abilities, though they’re never addressed and only include the way she glides through the air, seemingly taking off, coming, and going whenever she leaves or enters a place. she is drawn to feel ephemeral and otherworldly, though the fact is that she is always there. she’s lounging, sitting idly by and lending an ear, and giving impartial advice from someone who is both nameless and (for the most part) story-less.

so i think that in the story, someone-san is exactly that. she’s just someone. she’s someone, in some place, from somewhere, who is on your side. i think that, as a narrative device, someone-san is a really beautiful way of portraying the unseen support networks that exist. you can’t always see her, you don’t know much about her, but she’s on your side. she’s in this place that you feel safe in and though she “won’t listen”, she won’t reject you either. in the drop-in center, you’re allowed to just be.

i think that’s a huge part of her character concept too. a lot of the manga revolves around labels and the stress of them. it’s about this desire for identity and belonging that we often look for in labelling ourselves, which is especially (and expressly) common in the queer community when we’re being looked at from the outside. a large part of someone-san’s character is that she exists with no labels. she simply is and she allows other people to just be.

this isn’t to say that she’s a character without care or who doesn’t exist. she’s very present in the manga and is just as much a character as all of the others. someone-san in the story, cares deeply for the people who spend time in the drop-in center, but it’s subtle. she makes coffee for them, she lends an ear, she’s impartial and passes no judgement, but she cares. the drop-in center wouldn’t exist without her. she’s someone but she is still a person. i don’t know how best to describe it but to say that. she’s someone, just as the other characters in the story are and just as the reader is.

someone-san, in the story, is that ever-present, gentle push of care from people you’ve yet to know, people you will know, or people you have known.

the manga ends with a really beautiful quote from tasuku that i think encapsulates the concept of the manga really well, followed by a panel of someone-san that confirms her almost ethereal presence in the story.

“and the door’s open at the drop-in center again today. someone-san’s probably there.”

#this includes a spoiler for one of the final lines in the manga #as well as one of the final panels #no plot points are spoiled though #i really REALLY adored this story #like beyond what i can properly describe right now #it felt very raw and very real #but almost magical #and the art is to DIIIEE for #it's complete with 23 chapters #and an official english translation #i think im gonna buy physical copies of it because i loved it SO much #the art is also vaguely supernatural but in a way that feels very emotional #the author has such a fantastic grasp on the visualization of certain emotions through motifs #i would ABSOLUTELY recommend reading this if you have the time / chance / resources #cal.analysis #series.shimanami tasogare

I'm having a hard time with this new story abt the podcast and everyone saying joe is a fukkboi and stuff. I don't want this to ruin my opinion of him i'm crying rn

Oh my word. Sorry it took me so long to reply to this, but I had to really think this through and figure out how to answer this without coming off as mean to you anon, so PLEASE accept this in the warm and loving spirit it is being given. I feel like you may be very young, or at least, inexperienced. If not, my apologies. But I'll start by saying that it does bother me a little that people are saying Joe is in his "ho phase" because we don't really know jack shit about his sex life and frankly, it's nobody's fucking business. Buying drinks in a bar doesn't make you a "fukkboi," as you put it, and from what I understand from the context, him giving out his number was a friendly gesture because the girl said she was going to London next summer. He did NOT go home with her, or make any sexual overtures to her. Considering she went on a podcast and told this story, she probably would have bragged about it if he had, but I really can't say for certain.

But finally, my long winded bullshit notwithstanding, unless something comes out about him that is genuinely problematic (which would surprise me), his sex life should not change your opinion of him. He's a Man of the Year (literally) and if he wants to celebrate and have fun, he's well within his rights to do so. I know you are very fond of him (we all are), and parasocial relationships can bring about very intense feelings, but he is not your friend, and you can't judge him on actions that do not and never will affect you in any way.

Again, I'm sorry if this sounds mean, I really don't want it to be. But maybe log off the internet for a bit and go for a walk in the fresh air. You might feel better.

#sorry for the long response #JQ #this is just my opinion please don't @ me #answered #anon

finished season 10 it was good. it works as a 4 ep movie but 8-9 were back to back bangers so it falls a liiiiitle flat. a little.

onto my detailed feelings abt it

first of all congrats jaya on the engagement that subplot was ADORABLE. jay asking kai to practice the engagement is vry cute cuz it shows also that kai is EXTREMELY supportive of this relationship now whereas a long long time ago he. was not. jay is officially a wifeguy congrats. love that he asked her during the fuckin climax cuz he was afraid to die and never ask her. what’s better than battlefield proposals. props to nya for just casually accepting anyway and not sniping at him for the proper time n place. jaya have rights sometimes. the relationship is p much always at its best when it’s not the main focus and just exists in the bg to be cute.

next up cole he can never catch a fucking break can he. love that everyone was down to assume he’s fucking DEAD and actually grieving him until kai’s like “yeah he’ll come back” and then he does. cole could come back for the unbelievable fucking reason of “remember in episode 1 of the season when he left the car stuck in traffic” i wanted to scream once i realized that. THE TRAFFIC JAM WAS PLOT RELEVANT? IN THIS WAY?? goddamn. also the very very very casual implication cole may or may not be part oni cuz he DID manage to make it through the dark cloud even if he had difficulties cuz remember lloyd also had trouble at first. this will never be addressed ever i feel that in my bones and its just gonna sit there in my mind and that’s the funniest shit ever. we aint talking abt this.

i was a bit more meh on this season than 8 n 9 but it did have its moments and one of my favs was nya beating herself up over getting cole killed (cept not really) and kai going to comfort her. he’s bad at words but he’s trying. consistency in that nya tends to hone in on her own mistakes esp here compounded with grief but nicely resolved when she gets to keep the scythe of quakes for a bit and is the one to hand it back to cole.

in my paragraph outline because i have to organize by thoughts by now this just say “garmadon.” because. oh boy where do i begin. a LOT of garmadon moments in the front half of this season feel like s1/2 rehash cuz “oh noesss we have to cooperate with garmadon and he’s evil!” i do admit that this season adds back some of his charm from those first two season but then again s1/2 just did it better yeah? there’s the new aspect of him still trying to understand love and friendship when he can’t really feel it anymore which is pretty interesting. it’s a big difference to the early garmadon where his love was the main conflict to his obligatory evil nature.

tbh i feel this version of garmadon worked better in conjunction with harumi since she’s the lloyd foil and its much harder for him to carry scenes without her. also at the end he just walks out which is fun. “yeah i’m secretly conflicted but outwardly i’m 100% cold heartless evil. anyway BYE.”

i could say more abt him here but i wont k thanks

the finale for this season is REALLY well set up see cole’s car. but ALSO the tornado of creation as the final solution is set up well cuz in the beginning there’s EXTRA focus put on its mural and its importance to the history of the ninja. this way, it doesn’t feel like a deus ex machina ya.

the oni are like. schrödinger’s build up to me. cuz in the prev 2 seasons they’re talked abt as the Big Bad Destroyers Of Darkness but then again them being Gone is like The season 9 plot twist. this ofc opens the question of “well where the fuck are they then” with season 10 going “they’re here now :)” which sounds like a fine setup if that didnt leave “well where were those fuckers BETWEEN then and now” a big glaring question mark. omega is also just whatever as a villain. flat as cardboard he’s just here to be an obstacle and a mild contrast for garmadon. who cares abt him he fulfills his purpose well enough.

next up. the golden weapons they’re back i like them. remember in the s8 write up when i complained abt weapon changes. yeah :) i’m happy now.

kai being the one to make them works cuz it shows his character development a bit since him being a shit blacksmith mainly boiled down to his impatience which HAS mellowed out. comparitevely. he’s still a hothead. kinda wack that he hasn’t actually done any smithing for like 5 yrs or however long but now he can make all the fancy golden patterns. the season could’ve brought in his parents to help which could’ve been symbolic but those guys have been Gone since s7 so nah. it WORKS again it works and i get not wanting to change the designs since its been long enough to sell them in toy sets again.

anyway yeah this season works as the overglorified movie that it is and the shortness shows in the narrative depth like it’s coherent and well put together but i’m not that impressed. does not make it bad tho again it works
