thanks for requesting. i accidentally deleted this draft, luckily i had a screenshot of the request.

☆ mutual

cloud strife x ftm reader [he / him]

sypnosis: above.

the lowercase is intentional !

cloud and [name] were friend ever since they were little.

sure, the two boys weren't that close with eachother, but they were still friends. even if cloud talked to tifa most of the time and went off to join the soldier program, the two of them were still friends. no matter what.

[name] had always liked cloud. the young boy liked how strong willed cloud was and how determined the blonde was to be the number one solider. it really inspired [name], and made him fawn over cloud.

but he'd never say anything, of course. he was too scared and he never knew if cloud reciprocated. [name] was a trans boy after all, so what if cloud didn't even like him as a guy? it would break the boy into little pieces. he wouldn't be able to take it.

what [name] didn't know was that cloud felt the same. cloud always liked [name], not tifa, not zack or anyone else. just [name]. he always wanted to get closer to [name] and confess, but he couldn't. he was scared of rejection, the same way that [name] was. but that didn't stop either from liking one another.

it had been a few years since the two past met, cloud had left nibelheim to join the soldier program and [name] left to explore midgar. they hadn't caught up or seen eachother ever since then.

[name] was walking around wall market, taking in the vibrant lights outside the various buildings and the bustling nightlife. he had been there multiple times before, but each time it felt like the first.

there were so many things to explore at wall market, so many things to try. that's why [name] kept coming back. it was a fun experience, not just for the honey bee in or the various attractions in honour of don corneo. the buildings themselves and the people are what attracted [name].

[name] was minding his business, doing his usual as he went around the area. he looked at a few shops, inspected some materia and weapons on display and he got some food.

the young man decided to walk around with his food, which ended up being a bad idea. there were huge crowds everywhere on this particular day, and he just happened to bump into someone.

all of [name]'s food went flying, straight onto the floor. it was all ruined. people were stepping on it as it dropped to the floor, so [name] definitely wouldn't be able to eat it anymore.

[name] groaned and he looked down at the floor in annoyance before speaking, because the person he had bumped into for some reason hadn't left yet.

"you should watch where you're going next time." [name] grumbled to himself, unsure if the other person actually heard him or not. to his surprise, they did.

"you should also watch where you're going, some people are in a hurry." the person scoffed, and their voice sounded oddly familiar.

[name] raised his eyebrow and he looked up, still annoyed at the fact that this stranger made him drop his food. "well that's not my problem, is it? my problem is the fact that you made me drop my food. i spent a lot of gil on that-"

then, that's when [name] saw who it was that bumped into him.

it was cloud.

his old friend and crush was standing right there infront of him as multiple people barged past the two of them. [name] couldn't believe his eyes.

"holy shit." [name]'s mouth dropped as he stared infront at cloud. he did not think he was going to run into cloud at wall market of all places. shouldn't he be doing some soldier training right now anyway?

[name] wasn't mistaken. he thought he was seeing things but it truly was cloud infront of him.

the striking blonde hair, but with the ponytail now gone. the blue eyes that had a hint of green in them due to the mako. the pale skin that was reflecting all of the neon signs.

it truly was cloud. [name] wasn't seeing things.

"cloud? what are you doing here?" [name] asked, scanning cloud's figure once more to triple check he wasn't hallucinating.

cloud was a little confused at first. he didn't 100% recognise who was infront of him. [name] had grown up and transitioned into being who he truly meant to be.

"[name]?" cloud responded, taking a good look at the man infront of him. it was [name], cloud wasn't hallucinating either.

[name] nodded and he immediately hugged cloud, not believing the fact that his friend was there infront of him still. he didn't know how to grasp the situation. it had been years since they last met and there were no goodbyes shared or anything.

cloud was a little startled by the sudden hug, but he decided to embrace it anyway. it wasn't going to hurt. he was just hugging his old friend.. his old crush.

cloud felt like he was a kid again.

the poor guy was blushing again and he felt his stomach churn. he couldn't believe this was happening.

why now of all times? why were the memories flooding back to him? all the times that [name] and cloud would stay up late to talk or play games.. it all came rushing back.

"i didn't think i was going to ever see you again.." [name] confessed, whispering into cloud's ear softly. he was so happy to see cloud after all these years, cloud had to know.

"neither did i." cloud responded, chuckling lightly to himself as he ended up reciprocating the hug.

he wished he could stay in [name]'s arms forever - but he couldn't. he had a mission to do for avalanche, he had to save tifa. he couldn't stay in [name]'s arms for too long. he had things to do.

"[name] i'm sorry.. i have to go." cloud sighed, stepping back from the hug and looking at [name] with a frown. he didn't want this to end so soon.

"what?" [name] also took a step back, feeling all upset now. the smile he had on his face was wiped away in instant.

the man shook his head and he grabbed cloud's arm, keeping him in place. he wasn't letting him go this time. he was going to tell him everything. he didn't care if cloud was going to be late to whatever he's doing. he was selfish, but for good reasons.

"cloud, you can't just leave me after we've not seen eachother for years!" [name] started, still keeping a firm grip on cloud's arm. he sure as hell wasn't letting the blonde go yet.

"i haven't stopped thinking of you all this time.. and now you're back but you want to leave me again." [name] sighed, letting go of cloud's arm. it seems as if he has given up so quickly.

[name] looked away, crossing his arms over his chest. there was still a frown on his face and it was clear to cloud that he was hurting.

cloud wished he could comfort [name], hug him, kiss him or something else but he couldn't. time was running out, but it felt so slow when he was around [name].

"i should've told you then that i liked you. maybe if i wasn't a coward, you wouldn't of left and we would've been able to be something then.. but it's too late." [name] sighed again. he didn't even know if cloud was listening. "something else is clearly more important, so you should probably just go and do that thing then."

cloud couldn't believe what he had just heard. [name] liked him too? well, that changes everything. maybe cloud can spare a few minutes..

"seriously?" cloud spoke up, walking closer to [name] and holding one of his hands. he couldn't believe that [name] felt the same way he did.

"that.. feeling is mutual. i liked you back then too, but i was also too scared to say anything." cloud frowned slightly and it seemed that he had forgotten about everything else going on in his life.

[name] looked back at cloud, his frown slowly fading away. he was glad that cloud shared the sentiment, even if his confession was more of a 'heat of the moment' thing.

the man took in a deep breath before he spoke again, looking at his love with a smile on his face now.

"i'm glad to know that, cloud. i really am.." [name] says as he brushes a few strands of hair out of cloud's face. "i seriously didn't think you were interested in me at all. i thought you would've fallen in love with someone at the soldier program or something." [name] laughed.

cloud smiled in return. it was a small smile, but it still managed to melt [name]'s heart after years of not seeing it.

"i'd really like to catch up someday." [name] hummed and cloud let go of him, nodding at the other's words.

"of course." cloud responded, definitely wanting to catch up with [name]. they had a lot to catch up on. dates, kisses, hugs.. and even more.

[name] cleared his throat and he looked away, remembering that cloud had something important to do.

"you should.. go now. don't you have something important to do?" [name] mumbled, a heat rising to his face as he felt suddenly embarrassed for no reason.

cloud nodded and he gave [name] a quick kiss on the cheek, letting the other know that the feelings are still there. he then walked away from [name], going to do what he had to do.

"i'm glad our feelings are mutual!" [name] called out as cloud walked away.

cloud had a huge blush on his face as he walked, feeling flustered that a bunch of people now knew about his situation with [name].

at least the feeling was mutual...

↶*ೃ✧˚. Hello everyone! Welcome back to another video with LuckieDuckie. Today we will be discussing Rainbow Entertainment’s Best Eras!

As a disclaimer so people don’t come for me in the comments: this is in no particular order. I’m not ranking these eras, just factually stating that they are the best. Also, if you don’t agree with me, I don’t care. Keep it to yourself, I don’t want to see a million comments like “Duckie! Where’s blah blah? Where’s… Chu?” It’s up your [redacted]. Don’t try and tell me I’m wrong either because respectfully… I’m not. Anyway.

Starting off strong, we have LOVE DIVE!

LOVE DIVE! Is That Girl for a reason. Not only was she literally SOTY (4 times btw), but she had the vibes to back it up. I was a big fan of the ethereal cupid aesthetics they had going on and the styling just always looked so expensive. I’m a Chaehee stan, but Blue’s Hime Cut look was literally unmatched. Even the b-sides went crazy this era, with the iconic Sour Grapes taking over everyone’s For You pages. This song was actually inescapable for months, so of course this era had some iconic moments too. My personal favorite moment was Summer’s solo live ban being instated after she called Angelico’s Jinhwa a “fucking weirdo” in front of 45 million Dream. Free her tbh, she did nothing wrong!

Next up… Neverland’s Sugar Rush!

This song was so addicting honestly, the concept, the vocals, the dance, the silly little whistle chorus, it all ate down. We all know where we were when those shirtless concept pics dropped. The whole Peter Pan vibe obviously went with their concept as a whole, but how do I get to that woodland raver’s paradise? Where do I buy tickets? One thing about Neverland is they’re throwing a party and I need an invite. Speaking of parties, the iconic MakoDae club pics dropped this era. All I’m saying is that you can’t prove the girl throwing ass on Mako isn’t me.

Next, we have my favorite Eunji era, Forgive Me.

Honestly, I don’t really stan Eunji like that. I won’t deny that she is the superior Golden Goose producer, of course. But I don’t know all that much about her. What I do know is that whoever this song is about is going straight to hell. She ate them up, your honor! The rock instrumentals had me so shaken when I first listened to this song that I couldn’t stop listening to this song. Ginger Eunji in her rockstar era was peak cunt, The Revenge Era was so serious for her. Not to mention, this song had the most iconic performance of all time. If you haven’t seen it yet, immediately look up Eunji Halloween Bash Forgive Me Carrie. It will change your life. Miss girl is a performer.

Next up is one of Lucky’s most iconic eras, which is difficult to say because they’re all so iconic, I know… but I mean Ping-Pong!

This era could get the title solely from the styling. So many people love to hate it, but they just do not see the camp of it all! The bright pink and blue hair duo lives in my head constantly. I fear Kpop may never see styling so creative and unique again… Someone please rescue Hidae from 4Luvs because they are literally the most hated duo even though they make the cuntiest comebacks! I need them back together asap. Not to mention, these two have the best chemistry. And who could forget the iconic Twister video dropped this era. This video was so divisive among fans but I personally think they looked like they were having a lot of fun answering all the questions while playing Twister. We all know how those two treat competitions and they were undeniably getting flirty up in there, liiiike…

The Song of the Summer is up next… La Vie’s Fruit Salad!

This song is It. One of Rainbow’s most iconic songs by far. I don’t think there’s a single kpop stan out there that doesn’t know this song or even this dance. Honestly, they were the queens of summer before, but this song just solidified their title and made them simply unbeatable. No one else can ever wear the crown when this song exists. The concept and styling is also so perfect, one of my favorites out of La Vie, with the bright colors and quintessential summer vibes. Red-haired Tomi still rules my heart, honestly, and Sohee’s baby bangs were so quirky and cute. One of my favorite variety shows from RBE also comes from this era, I find myself rewatching Lovie’s Fruit Stand all the time. I think it’s so nice to see them getting time to rest and doing fun summer activities together, and its just so nostalgic to me.

Next we have Roly Poly by XOX!

Listen… I know they were flops. But they served with this one, I can't lie! They had no budget, no fans, and no future. All they had was a dance floor and a dream, and yet they still had fun with it. This was the age of camp and techno and XOX ran with it. And in doing so, they created every single RBE idol’s go-to karaoke song. It almost seems like an inside joke at the company because there is at least 2 videos of every single group covering or dancing to this song. And now she’s made her way on to TikTok and the legacy lives on. Everyone say RIP XOX, you will always be famous. Kind of.

Up next is Thee Lucid! Era… TOMBOY!

This is their most iconic era by far and if you think I’m wrong then argue with the wall or something. The song, the styling, the lyrics, the message, the music video, the performances, the moments… need I go on? I fear they ate the whole industry up with this comeback and the industry knew it too! I guarantee you that every single one of yall’s favs was caught doing this dance. Just the sheer amount of people, specifically men, that this song pissed off already puts her high up on my cuntiest songs roster and that was before they went on national television and said fuck! Speaking of fuck, Lucid! did not give a single one this era. My personal favorite Blue moment happened this era when sasaengs leaked pictures of her and Youngho leaving practice for together before their collab stage dropped and sparked dating rumors, and the Next Day she posted “ew wtf? him of all men?” on her public Instagram story on accident… which then started a nuclear fan war on Twitter. Dare I say; iconic. The Tomboy vibes had possessed the whole group I fear, because even Chaehee got man-hating rumors after she ignored Haruki’s hand to help her down the steps at a music show. Not to mention, Minji’s rap verse got so much shit and yet every single time she took her cutesy ass to center stage and ate down. I could literally go on and on about how much I love this era for hours, so if you want to hear more, click the link in the description for my full explanation on why it was the best era kpop has seen from the fourth generation.

Anyway. Next up is La Vie’s Fancy You!

This era was directly after Fruit Salad which means they had a tough act to follow… yet they absolutely came through. They were giving galactic space princesses, rulers of the cosmos, sparkling amongst the stars. Basically… they served. Tomi and Mari’s pink and purple hair duo is still one of my favs and don’t even get me started on the styling. Gogo boots and sequins and hot shorts, god. It was so cunty. And this era isn’t one of their best just because of the concept (even though that is one of their best too) but the vibes. The song and instrumental produced by the iconic ROZE Mari duo that gags to this day. It seems like every 6 months the song is back on TikTok for its cunty instrumentals or choreography. The Anya Kai dating rumors first started this era and you really just had to be there. The entire kpop world imploded on itself. Speaking of Anya Kai dating rumors, my favorite Sol video of all time is from this era in her cute blue highlights making a face in the back of an interview when Kai is brought up… EXO-Ls came for her for weeks until she finally took to Twitter to tell them she doesn’t give a shit about boy groups and their stans with internalized misogyny complexes! If that’s not mother I don’t know who is.

Next, we have DAZED, a Neverland classic.

Remember when I said that one thing Neverland is gonna do is throw a party? Well this is That Party. Out of all 130 million views of this mv, I’m probably 26 million of them. It’s so addicting with the concept and the cinematography… like what are you doing if you show up to this hot guy’s rager birthday party and find out that him and his friends are faeries after you drink their wine and dance for eternity? The ACoTaR girlies (me) went wild for this one, let me tell you. I loved the way they took their whole Neverland Lost Boys concept and twisted it to give us faeries which totally works but it’s also something new? They gave the girls what they want! Howie absolutely owned this era, especially after an edit of him as Rhysand went viral and he had to google the series on live when people asked him about it. I still think about that clip of him saying “What do you mean fairy porn?” every single day.

Finally, last but certainly not least, is the best Rainbow era of all time. NEW WAVE.

I know I said I wasn’t ranking them and all that and that is still true, but… this era is inarguably the best out of all of them so I had to put it last. And of course I'm not biased just because I ult Lucky. I’m convinced that Jung Jisoo tried acid for the first time and then came up with this concept based off of that. And I support it. She was Euphoria before her time, a true masterpiece of neon glitter and debauchery. If I could pick one place anywhere on the space time continuum to live out the rest of my days, it would be the set of this mv. They were literally taking shots in the making video. This song was nearly banned from broadcasts and I’m still surprised that Lucky hasn’t had one of their songs banned yet. Queens Eunbi and Jisoo just know the exact line between cunt and can’t, I guess. This era gave the vibes of the early 2000s club craze tabloid era in the best way both in the concept and for the members. The rumor mill was working over time going after them! Angel was accused of sleeping with fans and cheating on Jennie even though the dating rumors didn’t exist until after the cheating rumors? Sunnie’s gay rumors started this era, although she has since been pretty clear that they weren’t just rumors, LOL. Even baby Han got into one of his first scandals after he got caught with a pack of cigs in his back pocket. The most groundbreaking scandal this era though, one of the only times Lucky has had to issue an apology over the years despite being notorious for saying fuck it, Hiro’s infamous AKB video. Iconic or not, it had impact! But it wasn’t just bad things that came out of this era, of course. It was their most successful ot4 comeback, winning 8 music show wins and PAK as a full group. Plus, they still make room for it on every set list, so they clearly feel the same way about it as 4luvs do. You cannot deny that this era is the most iconic eras of both Lucky and RBE as a whole.

Thank you for tuning in to this video everyone! Feel free to comment below which of these you think is best, or even another one I didn't mention, I guess. But I don't want to see any fighting about it!

Til next time! Mwah!!

hey all welcome to me rating hq schools based on how homophobic they are on completely arbitrary-not-arbitrary rules LET’S GET IT

(i feel like i need to clarify that high score = not at all homophobic and that low score = disgustingly homophobic hope that helps!!)

karasuno: 1000000/100000 i’m including BOTH teams in this to represent the whole school boys’ vbc i don’t even think i have to cite reasons BUT girls’ vbc i just know that poor little underclassman had a heart attack when michimiya grabbed her face like that

seijoh: i’m going to take off a point right off the bat bc i wanted to deck oikawa so bad the first time i saw him. 9/10 the day is saved because kyoutani and yahaba put so much yearning into that one panel and also because kindaichi has multiple breakdowns over what kageyama means to him every few days or so. kunimi would commit gay-on-gay crime but i’ll allow that he has the right to

date tech: i know for a fact we’ve all been kogane at some point in our lives and also i’m pretty sure all the first and second years were in love with moniwa at some point. onagawa’s nickname is pantalones. aone hyper focuses on the aces of rival teams. having nametsu as a manager is mlmwlw solidarity. 4/10 i took points away because futakuchi is a little bitch and isn’t afraid to show it and would accidentally come across as homophobic in the process when he isn’t

shiratorizawa: see this is tough bc tendou reads all that shounen and semi is SO gender and probably holes himself up in the dorm writing song lyrics about having the biggest crush on tendou and also goshiki and shirabu are obviously pining for their upperclassmen but ushijima has some SERIOUS repression going on and washijou looks like he’d say that being gay is a disease BUT i do think he’s open to learning so like. 6.5/10?

johzenji: they have cute nicknames for each other AND i think they’d kiss the homies good night. also terushima fell in love with daichi within the span of fifteen seconds. 7/10 i took away points because they think saying “no homo” while holding hands stops it from being homo

kakugawa: komaki, asamushi, and minamida all rotate the brain cell between them. they all look like middle schoolers next to hyakuzawa to the point where i keep forgetting they’re not. komaki does the glasses push so i’m giving extra for that. 7.5/10 because when hyakuzawa comes out to them they freak out (out of concern and trying to figure out how to best handle it!) and then freak hyakuzawa out so everyone is just freaking out for a full five minutes

wakunan: nakashima and tabi deserved SO MUCH MORE also i love tabi’s hair so 11/10 the extra 1 is for their break down

nekoma: 1000000.5/10 mostly because i’m biased but hello???? we have DIVERSITY here we can go rivals to lovers AND childhood friends to lovers AND friends to lovers all in one team. nekomata is self-explanatory. the .5 is because i already mentioned before that lev would be such a top tier ally if he wasn’t already swooning over kenma and yaku

fukurodani: akaashi will go on tangents about how historians will say they were just best friends. whenever yukie and kaori cuddle in front of everyone konoha makes gagging noises bc of how sickeningly sweet they are. it’s funny but i’ll be taking points off for that and also because bokuto once got the school computers infected with a virus trying to google “two guys making out”. 2/10

shinzen & ubugawa: i’m putting them together bc daiki and masaki are in love and eri and mako are in love. they go on double dates all the time and also chigaya is a bro he gets trusted with all the secret “dude i think i’m _____” talks and never tells a single soul about them 100/100

itachiyama: iizuna is the mlm awakening at itachiyama. iizuna was SAKUSA’S awakening. komori and sakusa fight because they say can’t both be the gay cousin. whenever iizuna interrupts their bickering they call him homophobic. 9/10 i subtracted a point because their uniforms make me want to claw my eyes out

nohebi: we all know daishou had a thing for kuroo way back when so like. also have you seen hiroo’s hair? those bangs are emo as hell what even is that. 8/10 because they’ll be homophobic against other teams in the middle of the goddamn game to bait them and the only reason they haven’t lost MORE points for that is bc i love kuguri

inarizaki: -117478492/10 i’ll fight miya atsumu myself. i don’t think he’s homophobic he just pisses me off sometimes

kamomedai: they get 475828929392/??? just because i love them so much

mujinazaka: usuri instills fear and admiration in me. also unann and mami are basically an old divorced couple who want to get back together but don’t know how to. honda probably gets shit on a lot for having his whole entire name sounding like car dealerships. ezo is the only one with a brain cell and for that i’ll give 8.5/10

niiyama: maiko doesn’t even know there are labels for it she just thinks girls are pretty and she’d kill for them 500/10

tsubakihara: the headbands are really cute and i like their motto 100/100

#HOLY SHIT I THINK I GOT MOSTLY ALL OF THEM #HOW THE FUCK DO I EVEN TAG THIS LMAAAAO #god i am NOT tagging characters i’m just going to tag hcs and call it a day #haikyuu #haikyuu!!#haikyuu hcs #sou says stuff

Please enjoy this fanart of curly haired Wu reading Mako's palm! Scene from:

Duty's Promise by @kingbadgermole

Excerpt below:

“Ooh, how intriguing. Your fate line is all… Tangled?”

Mako's incredulous expression falls, nearly imperceptibly.

“No, no, not in a bad way—it’s just funky. You’ve had a hard past. It tangles down here, and branches off a few times, like you can’t quite figure out what you wanna do.” Wu can’t help the smile in his voice as he runs the pad of his thumb over the clear line in Mako’s palm. “Then it straightens out, huh? You’ll figure it out, and boy , figure it out you will. Look at this.”

Intrigue in his eyes, Mako leans forward, squinting to try and see what Wu’s getting at.

“You have this little Y-shape, right under your middle finger. Fate lines aren’t normally this long. You’re gonna be around a while, and the history books just won’t be able to forget your name. This, hah, this line, actually… It’s prominent in rulers? I thought I was supposed to be the king, big guy. Maybe you'll snatch Ol' Beifong's job. Chief Iwamatsu, huh? Imagine that!"

Apparently, it makes as little sense to Wu as it does to Mako. From the way they’re both hunched over Mako’s open palm, Mako’s close enough that Wu can trace the planes of his face. Wu’s confusion is reflected plainly in Mako’s reaction.

"Man. Your life, uh… Well, it sucks."

"Wow , thanks. That was so insightful—" Mako scoffs, shifting to try and pull his hand away. Wu tightens his grip and shoots back.

"Be quiet, will you, Mr. Sarcasmo? I'm not done! Your life line—in this chunk at the beginning, there's a bunch of stuff getting in the way. Talk about being the star pupil at the school of hard knocks. Brushes with death, losing it all, finding it again, but throughout… You never gave up. It'll pay off; about a third of the way through here, those breaks and branches stop and the line evens out. It's long, too. You're not done kicking, and won't be until you're a grizzled old man."

The confusion and apprehension in Mako's eyes shifts to something else. Something just as unreadable as his initial reaction. Is it amusement? His eyes are gleaming, fixated oddly on Wu. For some unknown reason, the eye contact feels like a tangible burn. Wu blushes and barks out a laugh to try and ease the apprehension.

“Woah, ka-ching! Ladies man alert! This is interesting, right here—your relationship lines are so deep I thought they were scars at first. Go figure, Mister Heartbreaker. Two are strong, but short, though, this third one… Is different. Spirits alive. It’s all choppy at the start, but right here, it hits its stride and looks deeper than the other ones. It starts here, and goes all the way over here. Third time’s the charm, I guess! Sounds like your next lady will be ‘The One’.”

The Avatar's Love

Things happen for a reason and you can't do anything to change it. Y/N never imagined that she would have become the next Avatar. She was born in the earth kingdom and she was an earthbender. She had trained every day & night for the past 13 years. All the elements had come easy to her which was a surprise. For the past 4 years she has lived in Republic City living in the air temple with Tenzin & his kids.

Y/N was training with Tenzin's kids on the training grounds. "Go easy on Us Y/N were not even close to the powers of the avatar" Jinora said and Y/N rolled her eyes as her and Jinora walked in circles. Jinora was the first to attack with her airbending. Y/N used her earth bending and made an earth wall. The others attacked as well and Y/N dodged all of their blows before using her water bending to knock them all down before using her earth bending to keep them on the ground. "Alright we give up" Ikki shouted and Y/N let the four of them go. Y/N smirks but stops when she sees someone walking towards them. "Ugh what's he doing here" Rohan said and the others agreed.

"Y/N sweetie how's training going" Mako said as he pulled Y/N into a hug before kissing her on the cheek. "It was good before you got here" Y/N muttered out the last part when Mako pulled away. "Mm that's nice I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date tonight and maybe we could have some fun after" he said and Y/N scrunched her face up. "Uh I actually have to be somewhere tonight sorry Mako" Y/N said and she whistled. "Oh uh that's fine maybe next time" he said as he rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. A TigerDillo stopped beside Y/N a couple seconds later. She nudged Y/N's face causing Y/N to smile. "I should get going now I'll see you all later" Y/N said as she mounted her animal guide. "See you soon Y/N good luck" Jinora said and Y/N waved before telling Ruby to set off.

Y/N and Ruby arrived at their destination a couple minutes later and Y/N hopped off of Ruby. She patted Ruby and they both walked in the courthouse. "Go rest Ruby" Y/N said and Ruby rushed off to the back. Y/N made her way up the flight of stairs before walking through the halls. She stopped at a closed door when she heard someone talking on the phone. She twisted the doorknob before throwing the door open a little too roughly. "What the hell kno- oh Avatar Y/N" someone said and Y/N put the door back on its hinges before turning back around. "Councilman Bolin" Y/N teased causing the man to roll his eyes. "Where are they at" Y/N asked and Bolin pointed behind him. Y/N walked over and kissed his cheek before using her earth bending powers to move the wall.

She arrived in an underground room and looked around when she heard hushed voices. She snuck through the room and hid behind a bookshelf. She snuck around the bookshelf and threw herself into the closet out of the two women causing her to jump. She spun around and slammed Y/N against the bookshelf causing some books to fall on the other side. "Well this is a nice way to greet someone especially the Avatar" Y/N said as she looked up at the person. "Oh hello Princess" Kuvira sighed out before her lips twitched up into a smirk. Y/N's face flushed red causing Kuvira's smirk to widen. "ZuZu help me" Y/N whined out as she looked at the other black haired woman who just sipped on her hot tea. "Oh you can beat her you're the Avatar and plus you got yourself into this so" Azula said and Y/N frowned and was about to use her air bending when something clicked over her wrists pinning her to the bookshelf. She looked over to see metal keeping her from using her hands. "If you try to use your fire bending it's gonna set the whole place on fire so I wouldn't use that. On the other hand using your water bending would ruin the books as well" Kuvira said as she patted Y/N's cheek before stepping away. Y/N growled out as she stomped on the floor making the ground crack. Azula grabbed the tea pitcher and lifted it up so it wouldn't spill when the ground shook. "Watch the damn tea" Azula growled out and Y/N gulped. Kuvira let Y/N go causing her to drop to the ground. She stood up and brushed herself off before walking over to Azula and kissing her on the cheek.

"How much longer do you have until you get married to that boy" Kuvira growled out and Y/N sighed. "Can we not talk about that I just want to forget about him right now" Y/N said as she stroked her hand through her ash brown hair. "I know a few ways to get your mind off of him" Azula said causing Y/N to blush brightly. "Absolutely not" Y/N said and Azula raised an eyebrow as well As Kuvira. "What you don't want to fight against your two secret girlfriends" Kuvira said and Y/N's eyes widened in shock. "Oh that's what you meant" Y/N said as she rubbed the back of her neck. "Yes what else did you think we m- oh oh you thought about something dirty" Kuvira said and she laughed as she threw her head back. Y/N blushed even more and hid her face in her hands as Azula smirked. "Well we can do that too if you want I'm not against that" Azula said as she stood up and walked over to Y/N. Y/N squeaked when she felt Azula's strong hands on her shoulder. Azula squeezed them before leaning down and whispering into Y/N ear. "We could do both" she said her voice raspier than usual.

It was the day of Mako and Y/N's wedding and Y/N just wanted to get the day over with. "Honey you look beautiful" Y/N's mother said as she tightened the wedding dress causing Y/N to suck a breath in. She didn't smile as she looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't want to marry Mako she wanted to marry Azula and Kuvira but that probably wasn't going to happen after the wedding since Mako and Y/N would be going back to Mako's home city far away from Republic city. "Dear are you alright" her mother said and Y/N looked at her mother through the mirror before faking a smile. "Yes I'm alright mother I can't wait to marry Mako" Y/N said before she cringed on the inside. "Well you don't have to wait long you'll be married to him in a couple minutes" her mother said not hearing the sarcastic tone in Y/N's voice.

Mako and Y/N were standing at the altar facing each other while holding hands. "Mako do you take Y/N to be your wife as long as you both shall live" the priest said and Mako smiled at Y/N. "I do" he said and the man nodded before looking at Y/N. "And do you Y/N take Mako to be your husband as long as both of you shall live" he asked and Y/N gulped before looking around the wedding hall to see everyone waiting. She saw Jinora, Ikki, Meelo and Rohan looking at her. She looked back at Mako to see him still smiling. "I-" she was cut off when the doors to the wedding hall busted open. Everyone looked over to see Fire Lord Azula and Great Uniter Kuvira standing in the doorway. "Stop this wedding now" Azula shouted and Y/N looked back at Mako before pulling her hands away and stepping back. "Y/N sweetie what's going on" Mako said as he tried reaching for her but a wall of earth divided the two. The priest had jumped out of the way and everyone looked at Kuvira with eyes widened in shock. "This wedding is cancelled" Kuvira growled out and Y/N ripped the bottom of her wedding dress off before dropping it onto the ground. "Took you guys long enough I absolutely hate wearing dresses" Y/N growled out as she made her way towards the two women. Y/N stood in between the two women before turning around.

Before Y/N could stop it a huge fight started with Mako, Azula and Kuvira along with Y/N's parents. Y/N started shaking with anger and her eyes started glowing. "KNOCK IT OFF" Y/N shouted just as lightning struck Kuvira in the arm causing her to wince as she collapsed to the ground. Azula stopped and rushed over to Kuvira before helping her up after sending fire towards Mako. He nearly dodged it and it grazed his arm burning him. He shouted out in pain and Y/N's parents rushed over to him. Y/N floated back to the ground and walked over to the two women. "Are you two alright" Y/N asked and the two nodded. Y/N looked over at Mako before walking towards him. She stomped on the ground and the ground shook before Mako was pinned against the wall. Y/N's parents were shoved out of the way as well. She made her way up the small stairs before stopping right in front of him. "What's going on Y/N" he growled out and Y/N silenced him as her eyes glowed again. "Simple I never loved you it was an arranged marriage and I don't even like men my parents knew that but still made us get engaged" Y/N said as she clenched her hands into fists. "And those two women I love them with all my heart I've been seeing them ever since we got together" she continued causing Mako's eyes to widen in shock. "YOU CAN'T DATE WOMEN THAT'S JUST DISGUSTING" Y/N's father shouted causing Y/N to whip her head around. Y/N just smirked before she raised her hand up. His limbs started bending in weird ways causing him to scream out in pain. "You're the only two to think that in this whole room" Y/N said as her smirk widened. "Y/N darling stop it's not worth it" Azula said causing Y/N to snap out of it and drop her father to the ground. "Now if you'll excuse me I'm leaving with my girlfriends" Y/N said as she made her way to Azula and Kuvira. The three of them walked out and Y/N let Mako go before the doors shut behind them.

Why do we love the red lotus so much?

It’s no secret that among the avatar/lok fandom that the red lotus in season 3 are some of the legend of korra’s most beloved villains. I started to wonder why that is, and I’m writing down all my thoughts because of course I am.

1: Cool character designs

Visually, the red lotus are super-interesting, especially when you put them altogether. Zaheer’s all-gray monochrome look and his little change from long hair and beard to baldness, and his eyebrow scar. Ghazan and his tattoos and that mustache he grew when he was ten. Ming-Hua is small but mighty, waterbends without arms and uses said waterbending AS ARMS, another shining example of the avatar franchise’s portrayal of disability. And P’li being a seven-feet-tall combustionbender with a cool braid. They look cool. What more do you need?

2: They’re human

Probably part of what makes the red lotus so popular is that they feel pretty human. Obviously Zaheer is the leader of the group, and I’d personally have loved some more moments reminiscent of the “seriously? right now?” scene, but they’re clearly all besties. Ghazan, as mentioned above, complaining about P’li and Zaheer making out in the truck; P’li getting a piggyback ride from Ming-Hua on her way out of prison and calling her a show-off; Ming-Hua calling the boys ugly mugs; Ghazan commenting, upon seeing Zaheer fly for the first time, that “i guess [Zaheer] doesn’t need a ride”; etc. They have distinct personalities from each other, with Zaheer being the planner and leader, P’li being quiet and menacing (unless she’s with her friends and her man), Ghazan being the chill, laid-back one, and Ming-Hua being snarky and hot-tempered. P’li and Zaheer obviously have their romance, which is sweet even if fans (*cough* me *cough*) would’ve loved to see more of it. They work incredibly well together as a team and in battle. Ghazan worries about P’li when she’s injured at Zaofu, P’li gets mad at Zaheer when he gets discovered on Air Temple Island and alerts the city to their presence, Ming-Hua and Ghazan are visibly surprised, sad, and confused all at once when Zaheer achieves flight and they learn that P’li is dead, Ming-Hua has the odd habit of sitting in trees and the backs of chairs instead of the actual chair...there are plenty of little moments that drive home the fact that they’re people who care deeply about each other.

3: They’re badass af

I mean, seriously. Zaheer was arguably more feared than the other three even as a non-bender, and is beaten with airbending only by his overconfidence and airbending inexperience against strong bending masters. P’li is a combustion bender who can a) talk, and b) curve her combustion beams. Ghazan is the franchise’s first canon lavabender, and Ming-Hua is its first bender who’s missing limbs. She supposedly uses her torso and legs to waterbend, despite the popular fan theory that she also uses at least some psychic bending. They have unique abilities that expand the possibilities of bending, make for unique and interesting fight scenes, and give our heroes a genuine challenge. Neither side is ridiculously powered-down; Bolin and Mako put up a good fight against Ming-Hua and Ghazan, for example, given their two seasons of battle experience and previous pro-bending careers, but still get their asses kicked and are captured, because they’ve never fought these kinds of benders before! How the hell do you stop a lady who can basically waterbend with her mind? How can Bolin stop Ghazan when all of Bolin’s ammunition is thrown right back at him in an even deadlier form?

4: No canon backstories

Hear me out here: I do agree that we could’ve gotten more hints of their backstories and how they all met, etc., but they don’t have a canon backstory like Amon, giving them that air of mystery. I love speculating on their pasts, which I couldn’t do if they had them in canon. But idk, I feel like this just depends on what you like in your villains.

In short, a large reason the red lotus is beloved is because they’re so different from anything we’ve previously seen in the franchise. They’re fresh, new faces who give us what is widely considered Legend of Korra’s best season.

Hey rhi….. words can’t express how much I loved your new tsumu fic. Throughout the entire fic it kept reminding me of twilight 🫣, which I absolutely love cause I fucking love the twilight series. The whole werewolf vibe was giving Jacob black all you needed was the vampires lol (although there are still quite a few differences from the fic and twilight, but for some strange reason my mind thought of twilight 🥲 alright I’ll stop geeking about twilight now).

I was genuinely surprised when you mentioned that tsumu had no bleach in his hair cuz like you expect him to have his hair blonde but I’m pretty sure the color of his hair is the least of his worries. It does make me a bit sad though finding how he was on his way to the youth team and possibly even going pro but he can’t because he got turned into a werewolf (even though he’s evil and also fucks up the readers life as well, it’s makes me sad that the both of them can never go back to the life they once had). I’m also sad that mako is going to have such a gruesome end, truly devastating. And the fact that tsumu and the reader eats people had me very much like HUUHHH 😟😳😀🤨⁉️ for some reason it had NEVER crossed my mind what a werewolves diet consisted of lol. Overall though, I really enjoyed your fic, like I said before ,anything with either one of the twins (or even the both of them) is already my favorite.

And just like always I have a couple of questions, remember you don’t have to feel obligated to answer any or all of them I’m perfectly content even if you so much as just read this message 🩵

so let’s begin….

How did tsumu get attacked, like where was he?

Was he a target of interest or just a completely random victim of opportunity?

What was going through his mind the moment of said attack and while he was undergoing the painful transformation?

Does tsumu live in the wild,( since you mentioned that he had stolen the clothes from the first unnamed guy, and he didn’t have a credit card), or does he move from place to place?

Is he contact with Samu and his family but just leaves them completely in the dark about everything he does and pretends that everything is fine (but it’s not cause he’s literally a fucking werewolf 🧍🏻‍♀️) or is it no contact whatsoever, like they don’t even see him face to face anymore let alone a FaceTime call or even a text message?

Do you think if samu were to find out about tsumu being a werewolf (whether he finds out himself or tsumu tells him) would be repulsed or understanding and would want to become one as well?

This is sort of a continuation of the last question but would tsumu ever tell his family or samu or would he never say anything in order to protect them?

After his attack did he go back home or did he just drop off the face of the earth?

Were him and samu annoying the reader or was tsumu the only one annoying the reader while his brother was aware of everything?

Maybe I’m blind or dumb but when did tsumu bite the reader because you mentioned that he didn’t get the chance to bite her while they were in high school and that he bit her the first night he stayed at the cabin… so like did he bite her in her sleep 😀?

Did the reader know that tsumu was the wolf that attacked her or did she think it was an actual wolf?

Was there feelings of resentment about becoming a werewolf or did he take it in stride? (You see me personally, I’m more of a vampire girl)

Had he been keeping track of the reader the whole time they were apart or had he finally found her again and decided to take the opportunity?

These are all the questions I can think of at the moment but rest assured I’ll be back if I have more. Also sorry there’s a bit more questions than last time but curiosity got the best of me 😓. Thank you so much if you actually made it all the way down here and if you actually answer any of these questions 🌬️. Your miya fics are always a nice little gift. Hands down, an amazing fic, I will definitely be rereading it. Love you and your fics so much rhi, keep up the good work babe 🫶🏼.

- that one long ‘means to an end’ ask nonnie 🌬️☁️

nonnie i take it back, i am no longer smooching ur forehead. i am coming to kiss you directly on the mouth. ily <33

alright, let's tackle these questions:

How did tsumu get attacked, like where was he? Was he a target of interest or just a completely random victim of opportunity?

out on a run through the woods, on the same track he'd run a thousand times. definitely a victim of opportunity

What was going through his mind the moment of said attack and while he was undergoing the painful transformation?

similar kind of to the reader – the same fucked up sort of hallucinating trip, filled with unimaginable pain. the difference is he had someone there to talk him through it and explain what was happening

Does tsumu live in the wild,( since you mentioned that he had stolen the clothes from the first unnamed guy, and he didn’t have a credit card), or does he move from place to place?

he can and he has before, but he prefers to take his opportunities where they come up. plenty of vacant (or easily vacated) properties and places to crash and clean up. but he does move around a lot too, staying in one place for too long draws too much attention

his family, for the most part, is in the dark, there's very little if any contact. going back, seeing them – it's like an open wound. if you asked his parents they'd say it was drugs or something like that that stole their son from them. samu doesn't know the full truth – but he know it's not drugs that changed him. i kind of have this mini headcanon that samu's the one who sees the blood he missed cleaning off him, maybe he saw him stumble in one night, wide eyed and horrified but what he'd done. he knows enough not to ask.

Do you think if samu were to find out about tsumu being a werewolf (whether he finds out himself or tsumu tells him) would be repulsed or understanding and would want to become one as well?

sort of like i said above, he's got an inkling that whatever tsumu is, it ain't human. he'll always love his brother, always be on his side when it counts. as to whether he'd want to become one too... yeah. not because he thinks it's cool or he wants to be strong and powerful and live a longer life – no, he'd go into it knowing he'd lose his humanity. he's glimpsed the ugliness of it, the brutality, but at the end of the day it kills him that tsumu's going through it alone.

This is sort of a continuation of the last question but would tsumu ever tell his family or samu or would he never say anything in order to protect them?

not to protect them out of any like secret werewolf code or anything, but he'd keep his silence and his distance to protect them from the grim truth.

After his attack did he go back home or did he just drop off the face of the earth?

he was back home for a very short period and quickly realised that he couldn't just slip back into his old life. he's fundamentally changed. there is no going back.

Were him and samu annoying the reader or was tsumu the only one annoying the reader while his brother was aware of everything?

just tsumu, though samu was definitely aware of it

answered that one here

Did the reader know that tsumu was the wolf that attacked her or did she think it was an actual wolf?

she knew it was a wolf-ish creature, but definitely not a wolf. she had no idea it was atsumu though

Was there feelings of resentment about becoming a werewolf or did he take it in stride? (You see me personally, I’m more of a vampire girl)

he might've been an asshole, and by the time he meets up with the reader again he's learned to accept and embrace the monster that he is, but there's a big leap between being an arrogant, obsessive bastard and being something inhuman.

his whole life was ripped away from him. he was forced to leave his family – osamu – behind. he actually ends up killing the one who turned him, partially out of anger for interrupting his attack on the reader and stopping him from getting a chance to bite her, but also out of resentment.

Had he been keeping track of the reader the whole time they were apart or had he finally found her again and decided to take the opportunity?

he lost her and spent years trying to track her down again, it was simply bad luck (on her part) that he managed to find her.

#i did have a twilight phase #actually it's kinda funny that werewolves made it onto the fic list #before vampires did ghfjekldkjf #🌬️☁️ nonnie #rhi answers #fic asks #scar tissue

Mako runs past Azazel in the crowded streets, swiping his wallet and headed straight for the aquarium. Her white, matted, dirty hair makes her stick out in the crowd but she's small enough that most people don't even notice. She even knows to follow a family with kids her age into the aquarium before immediately splitting off and going towards the tanks where you can pet the sea life

'Let's get this over with.'

On today's job : Take out a specific mutant target in the middle of a busy street.

While it wasn't an unusual request, it didn't change the fact that he has always felt uncomfortable walking in crowds. Apart from the obvious reason, it came with its fair share of issues : Too many unfamiliar faces popping in at once then disappearing out of his field of vision. Too many different noises and voice pitches condensing into one incoherent gibberish. Too many smells of various degrees, from strong to mild, from nauseating to plain weird, making it the most confusing scent cocktail. None of these, however, were really the reason why he wanted to get this job done as quickly as possible and move on to some better place.

No, the main reason, and objectively worst part of it all, was that this had to be in Florida. The fabled trickster God's playground. The land where the press hunts for crimes that will inevitably become famous out of state.

If he was going to do this right, there could be no mistakes, and everything had to pass under the press' radars as the most mundane event of the day.

According to his investigation, his target at this time of the day was far ahead of the street he was striding through. He would do it swiftly, then switch his target's wallet with the 'fake' one in his back pocket to hide who truly 'unexpectedly passed away' today. It was an ordinary wallet with all things considered : It had an ID, emergency contact details, a medical insurance card, bills and change totaling 100$, ... The only notable detail about it is that it couldn't possibly be his own.

He made himself as unassuming as humanly possible in the crowd while some bystanders walked closeby, some skipped behind him, some just ran past like it wasn't 97°F, ... Children never seemed phased by this kind of weather until it was too late.

'If I'm not careful enough, I might accidentally step on a kid if most wander off from their parents like this one...'

Strangely enough, he felt... Lighter. Reflexively, he patted over the inside pocket of his jacket before moving to his pants'...

And realizing the fake wallet was gone.

He abruptly stopped on his tracks, causing an old lady to dump into him and nearly fall over if he hadn't caught her at the last second and brought her back to her feet. "Oh my! Thank you, Dear. But don't worry about little old me and go follow your daughter before she gets lost. She looked so excited to go to the aquarium ! She tripped a few times to catch up with you but always got up like a champ ! "

His mind momentarily found itself stuck on the daughter part of her sentence before suddenly understanding what actually went down a few seconds ago.

Being pickpocketed by a child should have been the least surprising thing to happen to him in Florida, yet here he was. Absolutely dumbfounded by the absurdity of the situation.

He found himself simply nodding to the old lady then left without a word. He reached the Florida Aquarium in less than 5 minutes after finally getting out of the busy street.

Seeing no trace of the strange white-haired girl, he walked past the big Devil Ray statue, got to the counter and paid the entrance fee with the money from his wallet. He went in and started looking around for the little thief.

'She hasn't been there for long so she couldn't have wandered off that far. Now, where would a small child go in such a big-...'

As if to answer, a map of the place suddenly faced him.

'... Of course.'

When he reached the aquarium's Petting Zoo, he took a quick look around, trying to spot any usual white hair among the young visitors until...

'There she is... At the corner of the tank with the most rays.'

She didn't seem to notice him when he finally approached her. "No use running, Missy. You don't look like some vicious hellion so I won't involve any kind of institution into this : From experience, these make a mountain out of a molehill and don't even get at the bottom of the issue at the end of the day." He said matter-of-factly. "I just want my wallet back."

#rp #marvel #xmen #friendly oc #thecertifiedass #Mako-child-of-the-sea #Azazel #Finding Mako #italic+ '...' = thoughts #Wearing a jacket at 97°F ? Typical devilman behavior #This was long but if you ever want to throw in another muse the stage is set for all the madness #Because if Loki ever comes he will truly go insane

@peachmuses: shuu's spread out on makoto's bed , magazine in front of him that he's stopped paying attention to and started watching makoto eat for the past five minutes. ( it's a bad idea / but shuuzou is good at bad ideas. makes them so often that he really should just change his name to bad idea. the idea amuses him and he sees the other's tongue flick out and his brain is stalled, like an overheating engine on a hot day in la, once again. ) it's that stupid tongue ring. he's tempted to just yank it out / and hopefully that will be the end of everything, but he's even more tempted to see what it feels like in his mouth / against him / he doesn't care. he's tempted to just kiss him / slip his tongue inside, but makoto has never given him any hint of --- anything, and so he frowns. " hey , mako. " he says, softly calling attention to himself and when the other's gaze flicks towards him, shuuzou lets his own lips curl up, slow and devious as head tilts, " can i kiss you ? " / smtz.

it wasn't as if makoto couldn't feel shuuzou staring at him, but it's become such a frequent thing to happen these days that he's learned to ignore it. still, makoto sometimes wonders what his best friend is thinking about when he looks at him, saying absolutely nothing / he remembers the first time shuuzou had done it since his return -- makoto had asked him what he wanted ( shuuzou smiled and shook his head, telling him that it was nothing, that he was just zoning out and it had been dropped ). makoto doesn't -- didn't -- particularly believe it then, but he's not really one to dig for things more times than not.

each time it happens, makoto feels the way shuuzou's eyes burns holes on the side of his head. he thinks, if shuuzou keeps this up, makoto will melt. or something...

his name is called and he's ripped away from his thoughts, attention slowly shifting towards his best friend. he's taking a sip of his water when shuuzou asks his question and makoto, surprised and immediately dazed, chokes on his drink and starts coughing. fuck, ow. what? hand goes to shirt after he puts his drink down, fingers curling into fabric as he stares at shuuzou, wide-eyed and confused.

" what? " makoto rasps out / more so from water going down the wrong pipe than anything else.

no, seriously, what?

fingers loosen from cotton, but remain in place as his mind reels from the question and for the first time in his life, he feels like he's three thousand miles behind everything. how long had shuuzou been thinking about that...?

he blinks, suddenly feeling like he's fourteen again -- only that's not the first time the feeling had cropped up. they were nine, and shuuzou had just beaten up a group of kids that had gotten it into their minds to beat makoto up for whatever reason, shuuzou had turned around to makoto in victory, smiling bright with bloody fists high above his head while he asked his best friend if he was okay. makoto remembers the way he felt as if he couldn't breathe / the way he felt his heart do a back flip for the first time and some months later, shuuzou had kissed him on the playground and married him. ( when they were fourteen, makoto remembers feeling the same way the second he saw his best friend come up behind one of the several kids who'd been beating makoto up -- it didn't matter that he'd just been kicked in the stomach, the image of a blonde nijimura shuuzou fly kicking some kid in the face made his mind shut down for about ten minutes. )

makoto, by now, thought those feelings were over, cut at the root when shuuzou's creepy red haired kid came up to him to tell him that shuuzou was in america / just after he'd come to terms with that, his best friend is on his front porch and makoto punched him purely on instinct.

shuuzou -- he's always been unpredictable.

it's only been about half a second and makoto blinks out of his trance and he sees the way shuuzou looks like he's about to take the question back. before the other can say anything, though, makoto's turning to face the bed, resting on his knees as he rests his hands on the edge of the bed. ( somewhere in the back of his mind, he thinks about the fact that shuuzou had stolen his first kiss in front of everyone that day on the playground, but he knows this is different. )

he leans into the bed, head tilting at his best friend before he nods a moment later. " yeah. "

me, having a pipe dream

mako after s4 eventually quits the force. he’s a protector at heart and wants to help people but has to realize being a cop isn’t the way to do it. he’s a guy who likes stability and structure. i think mako naively thought that being a cop would give him the authority to do something while also being attracted to said authority because he had none for so long.

instead i’d like to see him start using some of his political capital he’s earned over the years and become a nuisance about helping the poor population of republic city. give him something to be passionate about, something that is at the very center of why mako is the way he is.

bonus for mako not really realizing that he is in fact an influential figure. mako would make the surprised pikachu face at realizing he has any political clout at first but once he does realize it than he uses it. but he’d still a bit oblivious to the fact that real leaders listen to him. cause you know korra is the avatar but also the asshole who eats all his snacks and teases him. and than there’s the literal earth king wu who is in love with him and wants to impress him listens to him and takes things he says to heart for whatever reason.

(you know wu’s advisors would hate mako simply because wu is like “k, lemme run that by my buddy, my pal, the grumpus himself’ while they pull their hair out).

i just want mako having a decent life where he can heal from his trauma and a huge part of that would be helping people like himself but with less copaganda.

also mako would adopt all the street kids and pretend to be mad about it but he adores them.

tl;dr: mako adopts several cats and children. stops being a cop and instead helps the poor unionize and get off the streets.

Do you really not read any Wuko fic? That seems very strange.

I don't think it's that strange. I mean, that might just be me! But part of the reason I wrote Penmanship 7 (!) years ago is because there were only a bare handful of fic about them, and about 90% of it was poorly written. I wanted to do better.

Does that mean that everyone loves my fic? No, of course not. (Trust me, I am aware.) But here's the thing with me, with fanfic: I want it to be well-written and I want it to be true to the characters and the universe it's taken from. That's just my preference. There was a huge wave of "Wuko Nation" fanfic that came out a year or so ago when Netflix got the rights to the show and with very rare exception they are Harlequin Romance fanfics.

By Harlequin Romance I am referring to these old school romance novels which were essentially the exact same thing, over and over again. The characters were given new names, new looks and the setting changed but the characters and the plot were exactly the same thing. Arrogant Rake (insert highfaluting English nobility title here) with some sort of Tragic Backstory meets a Spirited But Beautiful English miss (could be nobility herself or could be the governess, depending on the trope) and they flirt until he has her virginity (which is always glorious instead of awkward) and then he insists he will marry her and something dramatic happens where he must rescue her and after that his magic dick means that the spirited young miss stops being spirited but rather becomes wholly submissive to the rake of a husband who is still arrogant but of course immediately stops being a rake and who will never hare off and fuck around ever again because He Is Reformed.

There you go.

And listen, those books are WILDLY popular! This is not me dissing on a formula that clearly really works for so many people. But there is nothing original in them. Give the heroine red hair instead of brunette and make the tragic backstory that the Duke's first wife died instead of a fight with his father that sent him abroad until his father died and you have a whole new book. And so on and so forth, lather rinse repeat.

There's a HUGELY popular Wuko fanfic out there, the most popular ever, that is 100% a Harlequin Romance fanfic. Mako and Wu are wildly out of character, there's no more than a nod to the universe setting and it's just trope after trope after trope. I tried to read it and I couldn't even make it a quarter of the way through. What was the point? I read Wuko fic because I love the Avatar Universe, deeply, and I love those characters. If they are not actually being represented in the fic then why bother? Because there are sex scenes that read like they were copy-pasted from every other gay sex scene in any other fandom?

Listen, I love good smut as much as the next person. I don't write it in my Wuko fic not because I dislike it but because I was writing through the aftermath of my wife dying and I wasn't feeling up to it. I am not morally opposed or part of the whole purity horseshit, I was just going through mad grief and wasn't ready to write that. Sure, I could have copy-pasted a gay sex scene but that's not the writer I want to be. So.

Part of what makes sex scenes in fanfic hot for me is it being an exploration of what the characters themselves are doing and feeling. What is the character feeling? How does it tie into the universe it's coming from? My Mako and Wu have Their Thing with the nailguards because that's a thing that comes from Wu's world (his great-aunt, modeled after Dowager Empress Cixi, wore them) and because my Wu likes to get his King On in the bedroom and my Mako trusts Wu enough that he can feel safe in that submission. There's a reason for it, there's canonical justification in it, and I made sure that readers would know what the characters were feeling about it all.

Copy-pasted gay sex scenes don't do that. And look, I get that smut is smut and that a lot of readers just want to read that copy-pasted stuff and that's enough to get them off, they don't actually care or want the canon or the characterizations. And again, that's cool. But it's so vanilla to me personally and I can't do it, either as a reader or a writer.

(And let me tell you, as someone who was actively involved in both polyamory as well as the kink scene, 99% of writing about that kind of thing is being written by people who have no actual experience in that area. TRUST ME.)

It's the same with Lin and Kya. I am not morally opposed to middle-aged lesbians/pansexuals; I myself am one of them. I have yet to read a fic, however, that actually explores why these two particular women in this particular world would work well as a couple. It's just Harlequin Romance lesbianism.

It doesn't have to be my ships, either. One of my favorite fanfic writers, Satomobile, writes fic where Lin ends up with someone who isn't LoLo and frankly, I love it. (It comes highly recommended by me, btw. All of it. She’s a great writer.) Amazing characterization, fantastic exploration of the Avatar universe, etc. And Lin is sometimes with Tenzin and sometimes with an OC and it's top notch stuff. (Although I don't get onboard with the Pema hate! No! Not Pema! 😂)

And like I said, this is just personal preference. I don't expect that everyone agrees with me; in fact, I know they don't. But you did ask why I, personally, don't read much Wuko fic, and that's why. I am wholly uninterested in Harlequin Romance Wuko and that's what most of it is. Not all of it! But the vast majority of it.

hey! i love your zuko fics so much and was wondering if you’d like to write this, because the idea just popped up: maybe a zuko x reader fluff that takes place before/during LOK? maybe they’re reminiscing about their past adventures w the Gaang while helping out the new Team Avatar? idk it’s just that every time I see old zuko it makes me soft and emotional 🥲🔥❤️ anyways, much love! (and don’t feel pressured to do this at all, I was just thinking abt who I could submit this request to, and obvi my first choice was you 💕)

reminiscence - zuko x fem!reader

summary: just because you and your husband are retired doesn’t mean you don’t have amazing advice for the new team avatar.

a/n: this is so cute omg!! thank you so much for requesting this and thank you for much for your kind words i'm honored <33 im so sorry this took so long

sorry im posting so much lately im trying to stop slacking and publish things that have been wips for over a month sdkjfh

wc: 1.3k

warning(s): none bc i choose to ignore the news of zaheer’s plan right after this scene

Retirement was… nice.

You had spent your childhood fighting with the Avatar to end the Hundred Year War, a feat that was only made more difficult with your Fire Nation roots and connection to the banished prince. But all that’s well ends well, and you ended up getting your happy ending together — you had to fight hard for it, though.

You married Zuko at nineteen, three years after he ascended to the throne, and spent the subsequent years balancing your duties as Fire Lady and taking care of your daughter. Ruling the Fire Nation was a lot, but you knew you could get through anything with your husband at your side.

When he told you his plans to abdicate the throne, you were more than supportive. One of Zuko’s biggest fears was becoming his father, and by giving up his position willingly to Izumi, it guaranteed that he wouldn’t fall victim to the power-obsessed ways of his ancestors. It also gave him a well-deserved break after decades of being Fire Lord, and you were more than ready to get out of the world of Fire Nation politics. You had sat through enough meetings to fill multiple lifetimes.

But just because the two of you weren’t as involved in every day affairs of the world didn’t mean that you were completely out of it. No, that was far from the truth. You and Zuko were still some of the most important people in all of the nations, which meant it wasn’t a rare occurrence for your husband to be called off on some sort of mission.

One such mission was stopping the Order of the Red Lotus for the second time; Zuko had been part of the team that stopped them from kidnapping Avatar Korra as a child, so it was no surprise that he had been called to help for a second time. You knew even in his old age that your husband was powerful, but you couldn’t help but feel concerned about everything he was doing.

This concern was ultimately what led you to join Zuko on his trip to meet with Chief Beifong and Chief Tonraq in the Misty Palms Oasis. He had originally been against your involvement, claiming that the Red Lotus was far too dangerous, and he didn’t want to risk you getting injured in any way. You, of course, weren’t having it. “The Avatar’s in trouble, and I’d like to think I know a few things about getting out of trouble.”

One thing was certain after you arrived — it had been far too long since you had ridden on the back of a dragon. You truly adored Druk, and you felt bad for everyone that would never have the opportunity.

After conversing with Lin and Tonraq inside, you all exited to greet the new Team Avatar. If what you were told was true, then they had been through quite a lot since leaving Zaofu. For as long as you had been involved in foreign affairs, you had never met Avatar Korra nor her friends, so you didn’t know what to expect — an awestruck boy that could barely speak wasn’t at the top of your list though.

“Oh my gosh. It’s Lord Zuko and Lady Y/N. I can’t believe it!” He stared at the two of you with wide eyes, his voice getting higher and higher as he whimpered. He looked like he was going to fall over until another black-haired boy pulled him out of the way, his tone apologetic.

“Uh, forgive my brother,” he said as he put his fist against his open palm, his brother following suit. “We’re just really honored to meet you both.”

“It’s no problem,” you smiled as you and Zuko returned the greeting. It had been years since someone had reacted that way towards you, and you would be lying if you said it didn’t amuse you. “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well.”

The two boys straightened again as the taller one gestured to them each in turn. “I’m Mako, and this is Bolin. We’re Korra’s friends.”

“Ah, she’s got her own Team Avatar?” You inquired with a twinkle in your eye. “You know, I traveled with Avatar Aang years back along with my husband.”

“Of course I know!” Bolin exclaimed. “Oh, I’ve heard so many stories about your adventures, they’re all so amazing!” His eyes widened and you actually thought that he was going to fall over. “Oh, oh, could you tell us about some of the things you went through?”

“Bolin, we really shouldn’t bother them—” Mako started, but you laughed and waved it off.

“I assure you, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s not often I get to relive my journeys to such avid listeners. What would you like to hear about?”

He thought for a couple seconds then shot back up again. “What was it like when you escaped the Boiling Rock together? You guys were the first people to ever break out, right? That had to be amazing!”

You and Zuko both laughed as you shot him a look. “It was… interesting,” he said.

“By interesting, he means it was a complete disaster,” you corrected. “Everywhere something could’ve gone wrong, it went wrong. They had originally come there to rescue Sokka’s dad, but instead they found Suki and I. Then Zuko got found out and thrown into prison, our first escape plan failed, Sokka almost got found out, Azula showed up… it was honestly a miracle we made it out at all.”

“It wasn’t that bad!” he protested. “Getting thrown into prison was part of the plan, we wouldn’t have been able to get the cooler out if I hadn’t been found out.”

“I guess I can’t complain,” you chuckled. “I did get to punch you a couple times.”

“They are so cool,” Bolin whispered as the two of you went on in the background. He elbowed Mako in the shoulder and gestured towards the couple with his head. “Come on, ask them something! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!”

“I’m not going to ask them something, Bolin—”

“Excuse me, my brother has something he wants to ask too!” Mako shot him a dirty look which quickly disappeared when you and Zuko turned to him attentively.

“Oh, um…” He coughed and scratched his head. “I guess.. is there any advice you have for us? With this whole Team Avatar thing, I mean.” You smiled at Mako and took Zuko’s hand.

“The friendships you forge during your journey are the most important thing — they’re the things that will keep you going during your darkest moments, and they will last a lifetime. There will be mountains and valleys, ebbs and flows, but no matter what, you will hold an unbreakable bond.”

You felt Zuko squeeze your hand and turned your smile on him as you returned the sentiment then nodded for him to continue. “Never take anything for granted, and trust in fate. You’re where you are for a reason — everything will end up working out in the end.”

You grinned and kissed him on the cheek, humming in agreement. “It did, didn’t it?”

After a few more minutes of talking with the two brothers, they went off to join the rest of their group. It was strange being on the outside of it all after how intense your childhood was, but it was… refreshing not to have the weight of the world on your shoulders anymore.

“The world’s in good hands with them,” you murmured as you leaned your head on Zuko’s shoulder.

“They all have that same fire you had when I first met you,” Zuko chuckled. You watched the four of them conversing and a smile graced your lips.

“Oh? Then I think the world’s in very good hands.”

can you do junkrat headcanons please. male or neutral s/o preferred <3

Jamsion Fawkes/JunkRat

Let's be honest... He's not the most intellectual person in the world. But when it comes to making stuff, or more specifically, building stuff... He's a master mind.

You've kinda been stuck at his place for a while now. Kinda sorta strapped to the wall with duct tape and wires around your arms linked to a bomb... But that's just to put it lightly.

Long story short, you were taken hostage in a robbery by Junk and Hog. And they took you to their hideout as a way to make sure no one went looking for them. They promised they would let you go! But... it's been almost 3 months now... And... You're still stuck to this damn wall.

Everyone knows Jamison isn't one to stop talking. So he would constantly talk about how you were "Sumfin special, a good builda' with the brains to know what a good bomb looks like." The only reason he says that is because you grew up with weridos similar to him. Freaks who like to build stuff like explosives and nukes. You actually were going to get recruited by the Queen herself, but you guessed that's why Jamison took you.

Him and Hog couldn't just let someone close to the Queen just leave, right?

Or was it really something like that... A simple relationship with the Queen requires you to be strapped to a wall with no wiggle room with the looming thought of death via explosion?

No, this freak of nature that is Jamison Fawkes has to be deeper than just some stupid feud.

But of course, with time comes all truths.

As stated earlier, Jamison isn't one to stay silent for long. So when the time came, you could tell just by his expression that he has something on his mind.

He came to you, you, of course, unable to move... He talked to you about how you were never going to leave. He talked about how Mako wouldn't know, and if it meant moving you to a different location then so be it.

“Can't be havin' somethin' like you be disappearing on me, now can we mate?"

He would turn out to be someone rather... Loving isn't the right word, but something similar to that.

He at some point unstrapped you from the wall, not letting Mako know of course.

But he didn't let you go just yet. He sat you down with the bombs still latched onto your arms. He built more of them on your back. You could tell that he was rather excited by it. After a bit of examination by him, he deemed you worthy enough to...! Roam around the shack.

You would start to realize that this little thing he had for you was something more than just a simple crush... How weird, if you could say the least.

He would do little things like play with your hair, or give you a very slobbery kiss on the cheek. It wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world, but it did get a crack outta you from time to time.

He at one point brought you flowers... Saying, “I know ya' ain't suppose to bring a bloke sum flowa's, but I thought they might make ya' happy.” It was somewhat flattering...

You were honestly too scared to try and escape, and it's not like Jamison was treating you badly...! He just... Wouldn't take this stupid bomb off your neck and back...

Today friends I wish to talk to you about a very serious issue in the Sailor Moon fanfiction community.

As we all know, the most popular type of Sailor Moon fanfiction is, of course... smut. And the most popular smut of all is UsaMamo smut.

But it has become all too apparent that it is too popular!

Many a fic writer have truly heartbreaking tales of their stories hardly getting any kudos, comments, reviews or hits because they were brave enough to write fics about other characters and other subjects.

Well fear not my friends, for the solution is at hand!

All you need to do is write your stories as you want and then include some UsaMamo smut in it somewhere, thus increasing your chances of people reading your hard work. The trick is to make sure you engage in ‘organic integration’.

Here are some cliff note examples to help you:

Ami sat alone in her apartment feeling very sad. She was sad because her parents were divorced and nobody had come to celebrate her birthday that day. Whilst sitting down and feeling sad she coincidentally had a flashback to her past life in the Silver Millennium, during which she had walked in on Princess Serenity and Prince Endymion having a very erotic encounter that went on for two whole pages. After this flashback she continued to be very sad about her birthday...

"I never loved your dead mother Rei.” Rei's began to cry at her father's words right there in the middle of the restaurant. Through her tears she noticed something odd in the reflection of her glass. It was the reflection of Usagi and Mamoru having sex in the cloakroom behind her. She watched them having sex in the reflection of her glass for five and a half pages, before she stopped looking at that and began crying harder about her dead mother.

Mako fell asleep all alone in her bedroom. She began to have another recurring nightmare about the plane crash that killed her parents. As she paniced in the dream, feeling the sensation of the airplane beginning to fall she noticed in the next aisle over that Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask were 69ing. Even though this was just a dream and she was just watching this somehow she was able to detail their exact thoughts and feelings for seven pages before the plane crashed and she saw her parents die horrifically.

During the days before Minako met Artemis and became Sailor V, she was walking down the street with her best friend Hina when for some reason she imagined a blonde bun-headed Queen and a dark haired King making sweet monkey love in a crystal palace. Then she continued walking down the street.

"Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo were in the middle of planning how to defeat the Shredder’s Foot Clan when their master, the mutated rat Splinter, tripped over the writhing naked bodies of Sailor Cosmos and Moonlight Knight. Splinter righted himself and finished bringing the tea to the table.

Of course, you could also take the opposite approach and integrate your non-UsaMamo smut into what at first might appear to be UsaMamo smut:

Princess Serenity, Prince Endymion, Usagi, Mamoru, Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, Moonlight Knight, Neo-Queen Serenity, King Endymion and Sailor Cosmos were in the middle of a time travel fuelled orgy, whilst to their immediate left the Outer Senshi lamented the necessity of sacrificing innocent lives for the greater good.

Now you can of course attempt to be more subtle than that, but it does run the risk of going over the readers’ heads.

Nevertheless, this is a handy dandy way to get your stories more attention!

So remember folks, when in doubt, just add UsaMamo smut!

April Fools!

Hii I have a linzin prompt for you :))

"shhh...stop fighting and get some rest."

Tenzin wresting Lin into a spare bed in air temple island when she says she’s going back to work again. This is after Mako said she’s been in the station for three days without going home to rest.

Lin is too tired to fight Tenzin off but not too tired to keep getting up and running (or rather stumbling) out the room. Tenzin has a busy night ahead of him lol

Lin was certain she was dreaming- a strange one no less. Why in the world would she dream up a conversation between Mako and Tenzin: the people she deemed to have the least interesting things to say to each other? Still, as she was, she listened nonetheless, what harm could it do?

"Three days straight?" Tenzin seemed to have whispered.

"Yeah. I found her-"

A conspiracy, Lin smiled internally.

"You did the right thing, I'll take care of her."

Everything went blank for a couple of minutes after the conversation ended. When she began to come back to her senses, she realized she felt warm- rather cozy as one hand caressed her hair into bliss.

THE TRIADS.

KORRA.

OPAL.

And it all came back to her. Lin sprung awake- giving herself no time to register her surroundings or allow her eyes to adjust to the light.

Air Temple Island.

Tenzin's bedroom.

Tenzin's blanket.

"Tenzin," She hissed at the jolted man beside her.

"Lin, you need to-"

"I have no time for you!" She hopped off the bed before he could catch hold of her. She stumbled and stalled on her way out, secretly envious of how easily Tenzin had managed to walk the same distance and barricade the door with his person.

"The triads-"

"Also get sleep once in a while, Lin." He smiled.

His stupid smug smile, she growled.

"Come on," Tenzin continued, "You were sleeping so well for the past two hours- just six more and I'll let you leave."

TWO HOURS.

WASTED.

ON SLEEP.

She would've fainted if she weren't so determined to leave.

"I thought- didn't Mako just drop me off?" The confusion from her state had settled in.

"That was over two hours ago, Lin." He replied soothingly. He placed one arm over Lin's shoulder and walked her back towards the bed. She reluctantly walked along with him, her unleveled senses following blind orders.

"Let's get you under the covers," He whispered, "Poor Mako had to carry you all the way here. Let's not let that happen again."

"But-" Her protest died once her head hit the pillow.

"Exactly." Tenzin agreed, amused by his tired, helpless girlfriend.

In an actual blink of the eye, another few hours seemed to have passed by.

THE TRIADS.

Lin sprung awake once more, shocking the sleeping airbender awake beside her as well.

Before he could get a single word out, she pushed herself from under the covers, "Enough of your nonsense, I have to go-"

"Lin! It's the middle of the night!" He scolded in a whisper.

"Tell that to the triads."

She jumped off the bed, spending all her energy in the process. Most women hated aging because of the wrinkles, Lin, however, was only mad that she couldn't go the sleepless nights like she once could.

Before she knew it, the hurdle named Tenzin was chasing after her at an evened walking pace, while she faltered and almost fell making her way to the living room.

Sure enough, he caught up to her with complete ease, and without a word (he knew it was futile trying to reason with her), he picked her off the ground with his arms tightened around her waist and led her back to their bedroom.

"Put me down!" She wiggled in vain.

"I thought you like being carried to bed- it's my fifth time just tonight."

"What?"

She didn't remember waking up the four times before this. Spirits, was she deprived of rest.

As soon as Tenzin got into bed next to her, Lin sat up again, mumbling incoherently.

"Shhh...stop fighting and get some rest." He sighed, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"You woke up to chase after me five times tonight?" She looked down at his tired eyes.

"Yes," He whispered, "And I'll wake up five hundred more times if that means you'll get some rest."

At this, Lin smiled. Perhaps the triads, the avatar, and everything else could wait until morning. She had the perfect toasty body to cuddle up to, that she couldn't feel more at peace with. Lin settled under the covers and snuggled up to the man beside her. With his own eyes closed, he pressed a soft kiss to Lin's temple and held her tightly before she bolted again. Lin smiled as she watched him doze off. The fight in her died for she accepted defeat against her sleep and her Tenzin.
