#oh man yeah that makes a lot of sense

[dollypopup]

thinking about the 'I would never court Penelope Featherington' scene again and how angry our fandom has been at Colin for it for the last two years and wondering. . .what exactly was he meant to say?

Lord Fife and his friends are *slimy*. They are gross. They have 0 respect for women. Fife isn't *Colin's* friend. Fife is *Anthony's* friend. Fife runs in Anthony's circles. Misogynistic circles with misogynistic language. Fife and Co. are out here saying the debutantes are only good for being 'wed, bed, and bred'. Fife is the one out here, well into his 30s and with an established title, fucking an 18 year woman raw on her first year out in the marriage mart with 0 intention to marry her. That is 10000% an act of violence in this society. And you *know* he's bragging about it. Hell, he was probably bragging about it right before he asked Colin about Penelope.

Colin's not in those circles. Colin has female friends. Colin respects his mother. Colin cares for his sisters. The worst thing Colin has EVER said about a woman was to call her 'cruel'.

So. . .what is Colin meant to say? "No, we're just friends" isn't going to fly for people like Fife. As IF he wouldn't reply with 'Yeah, suuuuuure, wink wink nudge nudge'. Thus ruining Penelope and fucking over her future completely. A lesser man than Colin would have let them think what they wanted, and that would have still ruined Penelope in their eyes. Silence? Incriminating.

And he doesn't want FIFE of all people to know about his close friendship with Penelope. Fife who has never once been seen respecting a woman. Fife who has never once viewed a woman as a person and not a sexual conquest. Penelope is a safe place for Colin. Is precious to him. He KNOWS that conversation could have destroyed her reputation.

People talk about how he 'ruined her prospects', but in actuality, Colin responding the way he did. . .likely SAVED her prospects. There was NOTHING he could have said except for a vehement refusal, completely shutting down the conversation, that would have spared her from their judgement and cruelty. Sure, they laughed, and maybe it was at Pen. Maybe it was at Colin. (frankly, how good of a twist would it be if they WERE laughing at Colin? Colin the 'green' boy back from his travels after being oh so gullible and getting lied to by his ex fiance? Anthony made fun of Colin for being a virgin, we think these men, all 10+ years older than him, wouldn't do the same?) But at least they didn't go 'yeah, I guess she's a ruined woman' about it, because that *would* have destroyed her reputation

We talk about how Colin could have worded it differently, but honestly?

I think he said the exact right thing in those circumstances

#polin #penelope featherington #colin bridgerton #bridgerton #lord fife #lord cho #fife and company are so gross to me i do NOT understand the narrative of fife just wanting pen for himself #she's a little too old for him at this point considering he's looking for his girlfriend on a playground don't you think? #sorry not sorry i will forever be a colin apologist #no but really what should he have said???? #'oh yeah we're fucking six ways to sunday?' #'no she's just my friend'? - Fife doesn't believe for a MOMENT that a man can value a woman as a friend #colin is the best man in that entire bunch but somehow he's the one we've demonized? #make it make sense #and sure he should apologize for talking about her behind her back- but Penelope should also then apologize for the same #we talk a lot about him being 'knocked off the pedestal' but in reality we've put him on the highest pedestal possible #colin is a GOOD man #he is arguably the best man in the entire series #at least he's the man with the best intentions and the least harm #and so when he fucks up we feel it ten fold because he was already so good #but when gross dudes fuck up we just expect it of them and give them a pass #we expect colin to not only be better- but to be perfect #and he isn't he can't be #he didn't say it perfectly #but OBVIOUSLY his intentions in that scene aren't malicious #and it's not locker room talk either? #look at the optics: Colin is 22 being asked by these 30+ year old dudes 'sooooo are you boinking the girl'? #one season after his engagement blew up publicly #in the season where no one listens to his travel stories #the season after he was virgin shamed

I just finished Skypeia AGHHHFJHHHH it was so GOOD

#One Piece #My favorite arc BY FAR #It was really long! But it wasn’t Alabasta long!! #Also Noland’s backstory deadass made me tear up that shit was so sad #Idk this arc just really kept me hooked. Like there wasn’t really a point I got super bored #Even with all the fights going on #Also just realizing they mentioned Noland in OPLA too. Nami read Zoro the book while he was totally conked out #Anyway ANYWAY I really enjoyed it. Lots of fun character interactions #And Usopp actually getting to do stuff too?? MY MANS #Oh and Zoro’s look this arc. God he was STYLIN. I’m so weak for a man in goggles shut up. #Logically that should apply to Usopp too and you know what. Yeah. #G8 is next and I know it’s filler but I’ve heard nothing but praise for it #So I’ll probably watch it instead of skipping :’D #Shima speaks #Also I find it stupidly ridiculous and funny that YET AGAIN Oda said ‘Lol you thought x character was dead?? SIKE’ #Wiper got electrocuted and died like eight times but he’s fine actually. Also Sanji and Usopp got electrocuted too and were out #for like a full day. And then Enel zapped them AGAIN and Usopp was back on his feet like two minutes later. #Silly anime logic. It doesn’t make sense and I love it

everytime i’m faced with wild overt misogyny that’s just platformed like it’s nothing i remind myself that people don’t actually have to feel this way about women. men are fully capable of treating women like human beings and viewing them as such. “but socialization but male fantasies but patriatchy speaks through us even when we don’t recognize it” sure but actually regardless there exist men who are fundamentally not raging misogynists and they generally seem happier and better adjusted. misogyny to me isn’t disappointing because “oh i can’t believe Men, as an essentialized category of person, are like this” it’s disappointing because people make the choice to be like this. “it’s my biological imperative as a man to dominate you” okay well it’s my biological imperative as a freaky bitch to dominate you so what now. what biological imperative is making you comment “onlyfans detected opinion rejected” on every picture of any attractive woman. i think i will always be understood by most people as a woman and i’m learning to accept that and trying to like it but misogyny makes me feel very trapped of course. but misogyny is a choice. which means some people make the choice to be misogynistic which is profoundly frustrating. but many other people choose not to be actively misogynistic and i believe anyone could choose not to be actively misogynistic if they wanted. so it’s a whole thing

#lotte.txt #womanhood is a fun thing to participate in with women who do not hate women. otherwise it’s very stifling and starts to not be worth it 4 me #for other girls — cis and trans btw — i think relishing in womanhood still feels worth it even when it’s very difficult and i admire that #but apart from my fashion sense and bloodlust i feel very detached from womanhood as like this primal animate Essence #but i don’t really want to be a man either. i like being a Weird Girl i like being a Hot Weird Girl #i’m more of a Hot Weird Girl than a Hot Weird Boy and i’ve discovered that through trial and error #and calling myself nonbinary/fluid accurately describes my experience in a lot of ways. but i also sometimes feel like the label doesn’t.. #serve me? if that makes sense #like i got really into kibbe in 2020 and it was like oh shit i’m a soft dramatic. how cool that there’s something that describes my body #but after a while i got exhausted with kibbe because yeah. by the logic of the system of course i’m a soft dramatic #and i operate with that knowledge in the back of my mind. but also so what. i am aware of the shape of my body now #and now i feel the label has very little left to offer me #like if you’re asking? sure i’m a kibbe soft dramatic. but i don’t hold kibbe’s system as law or view it as crucially important #that is very much how i feel rn about calling myself nonbinary #like if you want me to think about it? yeah i don’t strictly conform to the gender binary #but i don’t believe gender itself is useful for my growth - i don’t hold the institution of the gender binary sacred - why bother #why draw attention to where i exist within the system when i’m tired of defining myself in terms of the system at all. yk #aUghj. anyway

ever think about how out of his depth steve would be if he met anyone billy hung around with in california

#it’s so fun to think about to me #harringrove #steve: oh yeah this makes a lot of sense #billy: the hell does that mean #like i don’t see billy as being popular #he only was in hawkins because it was ‘here’s the shiny new toy’ yk? #billy having friends that are like all different #a real mix n match situation #people steve hasn’t really had to encounter in hawkins #or if he has he hasn’t spent long around them #and steve’s like ok ! #maybe i shouldn’t have worn a polo #king steve isn’t a thing here and he’s gotta learn that the hard way #like he has to be eased into it #side note #i think seeing a pride parade would kill him instantly #at least at first #steve: billy what’s that #billy: that’s a man in leather steve #steve: ok sure #billy: hot right #steve: ???!! #side side note #steve’s first metal concert when #ickyspeaks

Sorry for more AU posting but here’s more quick strega ken sketches I did at work. Featuring Chidori cuz I love her dearly and I think their relationship in the AU would be neat

#strega!ken AU #kenposting #Ken amada #chidori yoshino #they both make me want to eat glass /pos #so it’s only natural this AU would have a focus on them #Chidori looking out for him #she goes out of her way to get him the featherman pins on his jacket (as seen in the comic I tried to doodle) #(Ken insisted she keeps one too. which is why she also has a featherman pin on her jacket. she doesn’t get it but oh well #they both don’t fear death but despite it all Chidori feeling some sort of protection towards him #Ken doesn’t fear death because :motions towards October 4th: #so once he gets his revenge he’s planning on going just like canon #but while Shinji is like . still getting his suppressants Ken is still oblivious that his mom’s killer is in front of him #Shinji is also watching out for him but it’s so much less indirect #he wants Ken to get out of there because strega aren’t very good influences #as would one assume of a hit man service #his sense of justice is much more murky in this AU. like yeah a hit man service is very clearly evil #but is it really #many of their clients are getting revenge. just like he is #like he interrogates this idea in his head a lot #in this AU #often questioning clients’ purposes for their hits #often questioning clients purpose forgor their hit #unlike the other three who don’t necessarily ask questions #sorry I’m just rambling about ideas and how Ken would interact in this hypothetical AU #i love being extremely self indulgent #putting my favs in situations together

You know Henriette is lowkey kind of anime (like the SuMo anime) Lusamine-core. To me

#a lot of people were frustrated obvs w the changes made to lusamine after og sumo and i def see it #and i DEF agree w it regarding ultra sumo. but i actually do kind of like the direction they took #w anime lusamine. like yeah it was a huge departure from the games. but given the context/genre of the anime #it didn't feel like a retcon? it felt more like they had to make adjustments to her to fit the very #slice of life comedy direction the sumo anime took. and there were still intense and emotional #story beats/arcs for the aether family too. #and i think the changes to lusamine actually complimented the changes to lillie #who's main conflict/struggle is her intense fear of touching pokemon due to trauma #so like! lillie is still traumatized! and for a slice of life comedy one big struggle is enough. #she didn't need an abusive controlling parent on top of that LMFAOOO (save that conflict for game lillie #esp cause in game her whole arc centers around that) #man i actually don't remember why gladion was a runaway in the anime though now that i think about it. #but like for the entire maybe one person who follows me and has the pokemon sumo/feh overlap interest #does this make sense????????? i feel like it does #i actually don't know if i have any followers who have that overlap. i feel like you're either here for feh/askr sibs specifically #or you had the misfortune of finding me in a brief bout of pokemon fixation and have discovered. oh #oh you BARELY post pokemon actually LMFAOOO you're just insane over some blue hair and pronouns bitch #and sharena 😇💖 #fe henriette

[bones creaking with every step i take] i think a lot of copia's self-image issues would start resolving themselves pretty quick with a transition arc. but that's just me.

#copiaposting #i see a lot of copia's gender stuff being a bit more social dysphoria than physical dysphoria. #which may sound. interesting. given my plastic surgery takes. but i think that's like. rooted in social dysphoria too. #to me a key thing about copia's Everything in the chapters is that underlying vibe of...not getting perceived correctly. #like... not getting titled correctly by imperator/not being taken seriously by nihil. #and then like. hypercorrecting toward masculinity in a way that both doesn't work and makes him seem kind of miserable. #and tbh i read the like. disappointment at imperator not calling him papa as less “this is the title i want” and more like... #“what the hell i did all that and suppressed so much of myself and i don't even get the title” #which is SOOOOO ripe for some ghovie plot point that's like. alright copia! you did it and they still never titled you correctly! #at which point copia “snapping” and just doing whatever the hell it is he actually wants to do would be the natural Thing. #[waves hand] hence the transition/drag show arc that makes perfect sense in my head. you see. #where was i going with this. oh yeah. #i feel like copia going “oh. i'm a woman” would make a lot of the uhhh self-image issues start falling off. #no longer striving for the impossible (parental approval) and instead just going “oh THIS is what i needed/wanted all along.” #i feel like that would result in less of the...[gestures to the vague yet constant sense of misery and inadequacy wafting off him] #bad at being a papa worse at being a man great at being a middle aged gamer woman. is my personal interpretation.

Seeing your own trans body and identity as your masterpiece is so important

#luly talks #watching a video allow me to ramble #almost feel like a ringmaster walking in on stage like ladies and gentlemen what you are about to see is something you have never seen befo #when you think about it its not surprising at all that theres such an overlap with autism and queerness #gender is such a thing we are forced to learn and stick to and sometimes we arent even directly taught it usually you just have to go figur #like many social things it is treated as a survival of the fittest a lot of the time #reminds me of my experiences growing up and my insistance of not being a boy or a girl but simply luly #speaking of me. there's something about me that is so strong like. my inability to ever separate the me from myself #no matter where i go or what my body does theres a lingering feeling of the me floating there #this is stepping away from gender and more into dissociation but it would be foolish to ignore the overlap between those two #after all one of the times i was having this. mental breakdown inducing dissociative episode i shared with an aquitance they were like #oh so you are genderfluid. and i was like yeah i guess #there's such an ambiguous sense of the self #HOLY ALMOST LMAO #anyway um. like back to the gender tho #saw this manga panel of this nonbinary beauty as the youtuber called where they say they gave up on being a man but dont claim to be a woma #and it makes me think of myself because i did do that in a way too didnt i? #i gave up on being a woman. but i partly claim to be a man? #but not all the way. not at all. #i've thought about me being a trans man and i am not. i am more than a man #i dont reject womanhood either #i still carry it with me. i once was a little girl. #lately ive been thinking about identity #and i really think that the worst one can do is forget their past because when you do that there's nothing left for you #honestly applies to identities in general such as the idenitty of a nation too #its important to remember how you got here because that is who you are #if you forget your mistakes you are doomed to repeat them again and again #of course. this is an issue for people like me. bc i deal with certain dissociative and general memory issues #lately i've been gaining more memories i thought lost tho. little things. faces of friends of teachers #popping up in my dreams clear as photographs

i do occasionally think abt how none of the adult stratos are ever oging to be able to do therapy with a real human being again regardless of whether or not the helio has people trained for that bc every single one of htem is going to be deeply aware for the rest of their lives that their previous therapist killed herself over trying to therapize them

#i really do think instances attitude when she talks abt besk is so............... man #i get it. when someone u love kills themself sometimes u blame them for a lot of dif reasons right #it makes sense. why she talks like that. it just also makes me incredibly sad #besk's death is this like......... incredible shadow over everyone's lives and no one ever talks about it bc of guilt or shame #the twins barely know anything about her besides her being an alcoholic which htey already knew #and her suicide #ITS JUST REALLY SAD.......... the hole besk's death left in the ship and the colony is not super obvious at first but like #u can really see it the further u get into the game #in convos with the twins during stuff at the bar just like...... everywhere. u kno #its really fascinating i love besk a lot #again. limitations of child protagonist people arent going to talk abt her as much as u want #its v interesting tho i like besk.......... in case u couldnt tell #anyways. #suicide ment #teenexo stuff #i was a teenage exocolonist spoilers ? #oh yeah going back to instance. i do get it. i do have sympathy #but again Instance Is Trying Her Best And Her Best Is Worse Than Her Not Trying Would Be #(thinkign abt tang) god #(thining abt how tang talks abt her mom) GOD

[shimelyasmin]

thinking about that one tiktok where some guy went on about how the hunger games is conservative because, in his words, “the capitol citizens are coded to be queer and this redneck girl who lives in the woods leads a revolution against these queer people.” (found it) it’s a particularly interesting take because he noticed an aspect of the hunger games that is so interesting to me but then read it in the most surface-level way imaginable.

i do agree that many of the capitol citizens are queer coded but this is the end of where his reading of it was right. there is a deep contrast between how the capitol citizens express themselves compared to how the district citizens express themselves and it is not to push a conservative agenda. it’s about control. showing somebody that it is a possibility for them to express themselves beyond the box they were initially stuffed in is a liability in a country where the power the authoritarian government holds is already fragile. capitol citizens are afforded the right to test the bounds of gender because there is no risk of them realizing that maybe, there are other boundaries to push! a good majority of them are very comfortable with sitting complacently because the status they have benefits them. the hunger games, for one, does not do anything for them other than offer entertainment. but the reaping, the tributes, they’re all divided between strict categories of Boy and Girl Tribute. there is no crossing lines for people from the districts.

i may not know what suzanne collins was exactly thinking when writing this aspect of thg, but i know it doesn’t take a genius to realize that an authoritarian government would do all it can to prevent its citizens from discovering that there are options beside their current reality. 

#Hope this makes sense. i was thinking abt this a lot when reading then remembered that tiktok today #side note also. the fact that the guy who said thats a white man explains enough abt why his reading was so surface level lmfao #and genuinely cannot comprehend how u read thg and then come out of it like oh! yeah! the capitol are a bunch of gay city people! thats why #the districts are mad at them! #smthn else i noticed when reading is that any chara from the capitol who may be lgbt was never ridiculed For testing gender boundaries #in katniss' eyes the odd thing about them was capitol fashion #the luxuries that they were afforded to only think about how they look and parties and whatever #but thats it #thg

Anytime I see a photo of John Lennon from around 65 I think about how 14 year old me was looking at him like wow I wish i was him and still thought I was cisgender

#jack's thoughts #idk why 65 to be specific i was like that with just john lennon in general #ig i was in my help! era #yep. probably was #i mean that was before my haircut so i didn't get the you look like john lennon comments #and when people say that they definetly mean like 68 john #anyways yeah i was more oblivious than ever and thought it was a regular cis girl thing to just look at a man and think oh that's me #my weird john lennon phase was a prime example of thinking you're attracted to someone when you just want to be them #me saying all this feels like something people can look at and think oh yep that makes sense that explains a lot #like a piece of lore that will no doubt make you think oh yeah this clicks #anyways i have no right to complain when i get the john lennon thing thrown at me from time to time by unrelated people #i brought this entirely upon myself no doubt. a good chunk of my personality was formed by john lennon #actually that does explain a lot. yeah it definetly does

Just remembered how after my autistic diagnose every offical person was so careful to approach me about it at first. I know that's probably standard bc not everyone will like those news or know how to handle it but I legit just had doctors go 'hey... So... Are you okay? How do you feel?' and I was like 'haha, nice, so I haven't just been faking/now I know why I'm so different'

#miranda talking shit #And i mean... I wouldnt be diagnosed at all if i didnt personally call for it. I wouldn't have been able to see anyone unless i brought it #Up. Bc ive always been good at masking no one even considerd i was on the spectrum. And it wasnt until i got friends who was diagnosed and #Discussed it with me and their experiences + me reading up on it myself ... Where i was like wait uh ... Actually lol that's me haha #But i know plenty of people probably don't like to get the diagnosis. For me personally it was 90% a gopd thing #It felt a lot like... Ive always known i was 'diffrent' and ive always felt something was so wrong with me bc i didny work like other peope #And then it was like .... No im different but this is the thing that makes me different and its not something 'wrong' with me #For me it felt very freeing to get i guess a label or name on why im different. Before iy was all just... On me? #Like it was my own fault. Why couldnt i do this or just act normal why couldnt i just handle things others could? It all felt very. ... #Personal. Like it was my own fault ? Idk man. It was just great to get a reason to why i was diffrent and that it actually ... Made sense? #There were reasons behind why i got so overwhelmed or behaved weirdly etc yeah #My relationship with my own autism is the weirdest shit ever bc i dont personally think there's many positives with this diagnose #I can think of 10 cons per 1 pro basically but i also... Never had any bad feelings about getting it on paper that i have it? #I know my life would be much easier if i didnt have it. But i also know it cant be cured and is just part of me so #I have a fairly good or at least neatrul general feeling about it. Before i was diagnosed I'd cry and have breakdowns as to #Why i was so weird and why i couldnt be like everyone else. I got that on an weekly basis. After my diagnose? Very rarely. #I guess thats why im so... Supporting and maybe pushing others who think they are on the spectrum to check it out #Many will think oh but it doesnt DO anything. It doesnt change anything. It doesnt help to get it on paper ya know ? #And well yeah i guess technically that's true but man idk.

- gojo satoru x reader

what do you get the man who already has everything for his birthday?

genre: teeth-rotting fluff and comfort because no—i can't make his birthday angsty ok

note: so this is my entry for the birthday boy <3 this takes place immediately after daddy-to-be, where the first years are still yuta, maki, panda and toge

a part of gojo's love entries

series masterlist | oneshot masterlist

Honestly? Satoru wondered about it a lot these days.

He already has everything he wanted—unparalleled cursed technique, a fairly happy life, a pretty wife, and just recently, a kid on the way.

But his birthday was in a week and it was as clear as a day that you were planning something for him.

“Come on, you can't fool me, sweets.”

He noticed that you had started waking up earlier than usual. Initially, he thought it was due to your morning sickness, but it turned out you were sneaking away to another room for an hour or two and only came out when it was around breakfast time.

Did you really think he wouldn't catch on? Satoru found himself torn between concern and amusement. He didn't want you to strain yourself—especially after your recent fainting spells—and yet a part of him was over the moon by the fact that you did it for him.

His eyes crinkled, twinkling with affection. “You're planning something for my birthday in the mornings lately. That's sweet, but you don't have to, really.”

You quirked an eyebrow at him. "Why are you so sure that it's for your birthday? I never said anything."

"Well, what else could it be? Unless you're cheating on me at six in the morning—"

"I have your spawn inside me, Gojo Satoru—"

"Don't call it ‘spawn’!" Satoru interjected with a theatrical gasp. "It's our very own little munchkin! Our love! Love!"

This was so ridiculous and you couldn't help yourself from giggling. And seeing you like that softened something inside him.

"Really, don't push yourself too hard," he said with a pout, resigned. "You need lots and lots of sleep."

"I'm not a baby, Satoru."

"Half of you is, so it makes you one!"

He was dramatic, but it was his own way to care because your husband was just wired that way.

You sighed, relenting. “Okay, okay… I know my limits. I will stop when I don't feel well, yeah? Besides, I won't have time to do it except in the mornings because I still have classes to teach.” It seemed like he wasn’t satisfied with your answer so you added, “Just so you know, it's something I enjoy too.”

"Hmph," Satoru huffed, eyeing you petulantly. "It'd better be good, or I'll spank you."

If it were physically possible for your eyes to roll a full 360 degrees into the back of your head and back, they definitely would have. "Oh, you will adore it, I promise."

Well, it wasn't a part of the plan, but now that he had asked for it, you'd definitely add a twist in his gift...

Satoru connected the dots instantly when he saw yarn and needles—what else were you doing aside from knitting?

His sweet wife, who woke up early just to make a handmade gift for his birthday—ahh, his heart could've burst. It was so cute and so you, the warmhearted being that you were.

He would go back early today, he decided, as he strolled the halls of the Jujutsu High with a cheerful tune. You were certainly waiting back at home and he would shower you with love and praise just for your efforts alone these past few days.

And so, he would have never expected that when he received a call from Nanami that afternoon, his world would utterly shatter in the most terrifying way.

“Gojo-san, please, you must come back.” Nanami was always steadfast even in the direst situations. And yet, now he was breathing hard, and panicking. “Something happened. You must go back to your residence—”

In that moment all he could think of was you and his baby. His entire world. Were you hurt?

He didn’t dwell on it—or rather, he couldn’t. His fingers went to rip his blindfold off as a sense of exponential dread creeped in and threatened to engulf him whole—a very, very strange, unfamiliar feeling to him—and he teleported back to his haven in a blink of an eye.

He had been ready to unleash hell, to see you lying on your own pool of blood, or anything. No, that was something he could never be ready for, but he would somehow make it right—

“Ooh, there he is!”

“Already?!”

“Nevermind—”

—and suddenly, he was swept into a whirlwind of confusion and commotion.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GOJO-SENSEI!”

Today is December 7.

It took a while for Satoru to discern everything, with his pulsating heartbeats and the rush of emotions that overwhelmed him. His eyes darted from each and every face who were suddenly in his house, searching for yours—

“Satoru!” you greeted him from behind Nanami, radiantly beaming, and only then could he finally breathe. You are safe—you’re well—

You had meant for it as a joke, a little payback for all the grievances he had caused you—and let’s not forget, Nanami—but you immediately regretted it when you had a look over the absolute terror in his heavenly blue eyes that you loved so much.

You had seen this once, before, when he proposed to you.

“Satoru.” You waltzed towards him, gently cradling his stunned face in your hands. “Hey,” you coaxed him with an apologetic smile, reassuring him of your presence.

Satoru looked at you squarely in the eyes, and as he fully took in the sight of you, he let out a shuddering breath and pulled you close with a firm arm around your waist and and the other around your back.

“You evil woman,” he murmured in your ears, and you could feel the slight tremble of his body and the way his heart was still thumping wildly inside his sturdy chest, which made you feel even more sorry.

“Whoa, that got you good, huh?” Panda remarked with a bemused grin.

“As expected,” Megumi snorted.

“Salmon! Salmon!”

“Ehh, that’s actually sweet…” Maki noted thoughtfully. “I would have never expected him to drop everything that fast just to go back here only after a suspicious phone call—”

“Of course he would!” Yuta rebuked with pride. “It’s his wife after all! And Nanami-san truly did a really convincing job at it!”

Nanami. Satoru casted a stern glare toward his junior, while the man in question awkwardly coughed. How did you even involve him in this?

Nah, he would deal with him later.

Despite the scare that got him good, your little plan commenced as it should. The closest of his friends and students were there to throw him this silly birthday party, as well as shower him with a plethora of gifts.

You had managed to round up his students to write birthday wishes for him in a scrap book filled with various photographs throughout the past year. This is sweet, he thought.

And one note tugged at his heartstrings the most:

Thank you, sensei, for everything — Yuta.

If anything he did ever made an impact on those young sorcerers, then Satoru was wholeheartedly glad. He wanted them to grow and made their own path in this unforgiving world, and their gratitude stirred a profound sense of relief within him.

“Here.” He was genuinely surprised when Megumi abruptly pushed a long, thin box toward him next, shyly averting his gaze. “Happy birthday.”

A fountain pen. It must have costed him some. It was strange, but Satoru felt oddly emotional.

The kid was barely six when he first approached him. He was prickly and sour and definitely wasn't welcoming. And then, he had matured right before his eyes. Satoru couldn’t help ruffling his hair vigorously and snickered, disregarding the scowl directed his way.

Nanami extended his well-wishes, and even though he still had a score to settle with him later, he was happy to have him here. Shoko couldn’t come but she left you with a recorded message.

“Happy birthday, Gojo, idiot,” Shoko was grinning in the video you played. “I'm sorry I can't be there, but my wish is for you to tone down your antics. We could all use a bit less of that.”

The two remaining reminders of the bluest spring in his life. Something pricked his heart at the stark reminder that they were not whole—and if only that someone was here, they would—but the fact that these two thought of him was enough.

And now, at last, it was time for your gift. Satoru thought he knew what it was, but as he carefully opened the ivory box, a profound sense of warmth still washed over him.

Mittens, with the color of freshly fallen snow, lay in the box—two pairs in total. One was remarkably tiny, seemingly tailored for a baby, while the other was notably larger, undoubtedly meant for him.

You. Him. The baby. By this time next year, there would be three of you. The happy picture of all of you together in near future was a gift in and of itself. You two are his everything.

Satoru went by his instincts and grasped your arm, crashing his lips against yours ardently, beaming with the broadest grin. He paid no heed to the squeals and disapproving glances from everyone around, as he felt entitled to do so—declaring his love boldly so you would know… that he was utterly, hopelessly in love with you.

That he was grateful for you in this otherwise dreary life.

And that if there were any other lives he might live after this ended... then he hoped the heavens would always bring you back to him—and for you to always choose him just like this, no matter what.

Epilogue

“So you really did call Nanami at six in the morning.”

Later that night, just before bed, your husband was still holding a grudge on you for frightening him back in the day, evident by the permanent purse of his lips.

You shrugged, buttoning the last button of your sleepwear. “I did… but it’s for greater purpose, so… yeah.”

“I can’t stand this. I’m suing you for collateral damage.”

You almost laughed. “Pffft—what? What damage—”

“My fragile heart! You can’t do that to me and expect I won’t charge you!”

“Well…” You noted with a meaningful smile. You couldn’t say you didn’t expect this, because Satoru always got pouty whenever he was irked in one way or another, and so in advance, you had actually been prepared for this.

You caught him off guard when you suddenly sat on his lap and wrapped your arms around his neck, your fingers teasing his undercut. It was a nice change of pace, seeing the faint blush coloring his cheeks as he steadied you by your waist.

“…what if I say… I still have one present left for you?”

So, what did you get a man who already has everything for his birthday?

Your whole heart, of course.

And if you were in the mood for an additional surprise, a brand new pair of lacy lingerie you had under your pajamas might do the trick.
