Some more sillies—got lazy w/ the animation so I didnt color or add any bg 😝😝 thought the audio was so them coded
+ here’s a question, what are like some hc voices for Narilamb?
I think Mao Mao for Nari but idk abt Lamb, I think I don’t like the idea of them having an overtly feminine or masc voice, if that makes any sense, but I don’t have a good idea of what that voice would be ??
I think I said Raine Owl House to myself before. But tbh idkk

In relation to last reblog I have never watched or read anything that deals with destiny as well as she ra does. Like the way I see it there’s two ways to write destiny and way one means making it something tragic and unavoidable but she ra does way two where destiny is what you make of it, and in she ra destiny has literally been made to be a weapon and a way to point someone in the direction you want them to go and say this is the only way, this is how it has to be but it isn’t! Normally I prefer the tragic unavoidable route but watching Adora physically shatter the thing controlling her that was really nothing but a symbol the entire time… fucking unbeatable moment
#(there are probably more than two ways to write destiny. i’m not saying these are Really the only two ways. but they are my favorites.)#she ra#sorry that gifset caused me to look up the soundtrack to that scene on YouTube and now i’m losing my mind. love this show so much

ahhh congrats on 1K!! you deserve it all :D
for your concert, may I suggest got my mind set on you for eren with a friends to lovers type trope? like maybe eren has a bit of a past as a fuckboy and realizes now that he's in love with his friend. she doesn't believe him given his history, so he is determined to woo her, but really he just needs to show her that he's serious about her (because she has already loved him this whole time hehe). OR whatever you want to do!!
got my mind set on you
eren x f!reader
**part of my debut concert event
content: drinking, reader gets her periods and leaks on her sheets, eren is a manwhore, hitch is a hater, jean and marco are masterminds
an: thank you sweet sweet anon! you deserve all the love in the world. I hope you like it <333

“Y/N. White wife-beater or black wife-beater?”
You peek up from the top of your textbook to glare at him and he has that stupid, stupid grin on his face. The one he uses to get anything he wants.
“Man. At this point you’re just trying to sound like an asshole.” mutters Jean, taking Armin’s pillow and smacking it straight into his face.
Mikasa and Armin laugh in response, agreeing as Eren makes his way over to you, flopping on his bed next to you. He’s leaning directly into your space, that musky cologne enveloping your nose as he starts talking.
“Y/N.”
“Eren.”
“Black or white?”
“Ass or face?”
“What?”
“Do you want me to punch you in the ass or in the face?”
He laughs as he bends over, sticking the aforementioned ass into your space as he knocks your textbook out of your hands and you push him away. And you try to fight the smile trying to make its way on to your face, trying to feign as much anger as you can.
But you can’t be mad at Eren. You can’t be anything but a jumbled mess of feelings at Eren lately.
When you moved to college, you were looking forward to getting a fresh start from the town that you grew up in. Not that it was ever a bad place but it was never really a good place either. And you were ready to let it all go, to move away from your parents, to find out who you were.
And just your luck, the one boy from your highschool going to the same college as you ends up in your orientation group and never leaves you alone after that. Dragging you to random club meetings for free food, taking you to mixers that your RA hosted, trying to sneak into frat parties together.
At some point, you were just always together. And maybe some small part of you really liked having him around. That he wanted to be your best friend, told you all the little inner workings of his mind instead of someone else. That he thinks the Loch Ness Monster is made up, that he likes the Twilight movie soundtracks a little bit too much, that he loves mystery books.
And he’s dorky - snorts when he laughs too hard, can’t drink beer without spilling it all over his shirt, and is so weirdly passionate about these little sea animals that he’s spending the entire summer doing an internship at the marine biology research lab at your university.
But he’s also sweet - trying to memorize all the little facts about you, picking you up from class as a habit, telling you that you’re prettier than some shit guy who won’t come by.
He’s your friend. Your sweet, secret little dorky friend. No one looks at you. But no one looks at him either. Maybe you guys only look at each other.
Except when you come back from the summer, his dork is replaced with…charm. Charisma, an appeal, a magnetism. And maybe he was always really charming, but no one paid attention to it. It was just for you.
But now they do - because he’s grown out his soft brown hair into this sunkissed loose man bun and spending all summer swimming in tidepools has defined his muscles. Because he was always gangly and a little awkward but one summer has him looking fit, in all the right places.
That’s when it starts raining on your parade. Because when you and Eren go to parties, you’re talking to him less and the girl who's drunk and throwing up in the bathroom more. He’s too busy talking to the pretty girls, twirling their locks of hair in his hands and batting his pretty eyelashes at them.
And he still picks you up from class with an iced coffee in hand, except the barista scribbled her name over your cup because she wants Eren to call her later. And you know Eren leans into it, because this newfound attention only gives him confidence to show off more.
To tell girls about the creepy little slugs he spent all summer looking for so they can coo over how cute it is that he cares, to show off those ridiculously defined muscles, to gleam at people the way he does.
You’re interrupted by your train of thought as Historia, the girl Eren met at a club meeting knocks on the door, shining sunlight at Eren as she smiles at him. And when he flicks the top of your forehead and stands up to press a kiss to her cheek and run out with her, you stick your face back into your textbook.
And pretend it doesn’t sting.
You peer over your notebook again to find Jean hanging upside down on the bunk, his eyes staring into yours.
“Hi Y/N.”
“Hi Jean. The blood is rushing to your head. You look like an overly ripe tomato.”
He laughs as he flops off the bunk and next to you, leaning his head in to read your textbook.
“A tort is a civil law that causes a claimant to suffer loss or….this shit is so fucking boring.”
He snatches the textbook away from your clutches and flings it off the bed, giving an innocent smile as he does.
“I was reading that.”
“And now you’re not!”
“Do you want something from me, Jean?”
“Yeah. Let’s go on a date.”
“You have a boyfriend.”
“Yeah. It was his idea.”
He pulls you up by the wrists as you both shuffle out of Armin and Eren’s dorm room, giving half-hearted goodbyes to Mikasa and Armin as he dragged you back to your hal. Trying to convince you to go on a date with him.
“No.”
“Listen. You make this mopey sad face whenever he brings a girl around. It’s really ugly.”
“Thanks, Jean. You’re such a gentleman.”
He pinches the bridge of his nose as he swings your door open, the two of you flopping onto your bed.
“I just mean- I hate that you wait around for him. And Marco does too. I think it would be nice. For me to take you out, to make you feel special, to remind you that you don’t have to hopelessly pine over that idiot and wait for him to look at you back.”
“Jean, I just-”
He stands up, locking his fingers with yours, as he tries to use his boyish charm on you. And it’s entirely different from Eren’s. Where Eren oozes pure charisma, like you can’t help but give in because you just want to know what he’s getting at.
Jean’s charm is more…boyish. Innocent. Because he’s smiling at you, all soft and genuine. Like you want to give in because you know he means well. It’s sweet. So you agree.
--
“Eren.”
“Hm?”
“Pink dress or white skirt?”
You hold up the options as Eren looks at you for the first time - even though he’s been in your dorm for the past three hours texting Historia in your bed - and squints at you.
“Are you wearing makeup?”
“Yeah. I’m going on a date.”
He stands up, placing his hands on your cheek as he moves your face around in the air, taking in the product on your face. A soft glitter on your eyelids, black around your eyes that makes your eyes look infinitely bigger, and soft pink on the tops of your cheeks.
“With who?”
“Well, Jean for now. But it’s practice before I start going on real dates you know?”
“You’re going on dates? Why?”
You roll your eyes as you turn back in the mirror, holding up the options to your frame as you weigh what to wear.
“Because. I want to get out there and I’m like…deeply touch starved or whatever. I just want someone told hold me or something. And it feels weird to do it cold turkey so Jean’s taking me.”
“You could have asked me. I could take you.”
You roll your eyes as you push past him, reaching for your flowery perfume that you spray on for special occasions. Eren’s leaning against your bedpost, his eyes scrunched up in frustration that for some reason is really annoying you.
“You have a girlfriend.”
“Hisu’s not my girlfriend. We’re just talking.”
“Okay, yeah. Same thing.”
“Jean has a boyfriend.”
“This was Marco’s idea, Eren. He’s not going to care if I actually go on it and I think he’s probably the one who bought the flowers Jean’s going to bring me.”
You hold the two options up in the air again, boring your eyes into Eren’s as you gesture for him to respond again.
“I’m not picking.”
“I literally pick your date outfits for you all the time. You could pick for me.”
And Eren mutters something that sounds like pink under his breath which you smile brightly at as you duck into your closet to slip the dress on. And when it’s all fresh and pressed against your skin, there’s a knock on your door and a very smiley Jean waiting for you.
As you predicted, he’s holding a pretty bouquet of pink flowers in his hand, wearing a nice buttoned up shirt as opposed to his usual lame t-shirts.
“Hi. Don’t you look pretty?”
He reaches for your wrist and lifts your hand up to spin you around, the pleats of your dress whooshing in the air and a stupid laugh falling out of your lips.
“Jean. You’re laying it on a little thick there.”
He shakes his head dismissively as he places the bouquet on your desk, giving a small nod to Eren as he walks back to you, pinching the side of your cheek.
“You’re getting the full Jean Kirschtein experience. I have to set the bar high so you don’t settle for a whole idiot or anything.”
And Eren watches you and he hates it. That he has this angry, green little monster simmering in his chest. That you’re smiling at Jean, that he’s taking you on a date to set your standards, that you’re wearing a pretty dress and laughing with someone who isn’t him.
And he knows it’s wrong. That he has no right to be jealous when he’s talked to other girls ever since the summer ended while you’ve remained steadfast and true. And it wasn’t like you were staying true to him because Eren’s positive that you don’t feel that obligation, that loyalty to him, but some part of him feels like you do. Or wishes that you do.
But suddenly…he’s feeling it for you. That he shouldn’t be with anyone but you, that he’s the person who should be taking you on cute dates, twirling you around in pretty dresses, having you spread glitter all over your face for him.
Eren texts Historia as he watches you and Jean duck out the door.
“Uh huh, Kirschtein. I’m sure this is gonna be the best date of my life.”
“That’s a promise, baby girl.”
“Ew. Baby girl?”
“Do you prefer sweetheart instead?”
“You’re so fucking corny, Jean.”
And when the door closes, he sends the text.
I want to see other people. Sorry Hisu.
--
You return from your date with Jean to find Eren slumped over in your bed, typing away on his laptop. Your roommate, Hitch, is glaring bloody murder at you as she flits her eyes over to his direction.
“Eren.”
“Ah. You’re back. How was it?”
“What are you doing in my room? I left hours ago.”
“Just wanted to see you when you got back. And I was spending time with my best friend, Hitch. She’s just so riveting to talk to and I just love her so much.”
She throws her portable fan at his head, which he catches before it makes contact and then throws it back at her.
“I’ll walk you back to yours, Eren. And you’re buying Hitch coffee as an apology.”
He rolls his eyes as he grabs his bag, blowing fake kisses to Hitch as she flips him off. You’re both trodding through the hall, the building quiet. It’s Friday night. Everyone’s partying.
“Didn’t want to party tonight, Eren?”
“Nah. Didn’t feel like it. How was your date?”
You smile as you twiddle with your fingers.
It was nice. To feel special, to have someone tell you that you were pretty. And sure he didn’t mean it in that way and it was entirely platonic, but it was nice to have someone look at you. Who wants to make you feel special, try to coax you into doing things you don’t usually do.
And you’re positive it’ll feel even better when the feelings are reciprocated.
“Really nice, Eren. I’m excited to…meet people. Date them. Have someone make me feel special, tell me I’m pretty.”
“You’re pretty.”
You look over to find Eren’s cheeks burning pink, the tips of his ears red as he avoids eye contact with you.
“Thank you?”
“Ye-yeah. Sure.”
You make it to Eren’s door and he swings the door open, dragging you in by the wrist. From the looks of it, Armin’s not home, Eren’s desk light flickering on the desk. He drags you to his bed, the two of you sitting on his plush duvet.
“Eren. I was just walking you here. I’m kind of tired from the painting.”
“You went painting?”
“Yeah. It was like a pottery type thing. We picked out mugs and just painted on them. Talked about stuff. Shared an ice cream together after. Jean and Marco gave me very sweet kisses on the cheek when I dropped him back off to his dorm.”
Eren pushes his hand through his hair as he asks, the question making the air in his throat burn.
“Ah. Would you ever…go on a date with me?”
And you laugh. Quite literally laugh, because he cannot be serious.
“God, Eren. Don’t be a cliche right now.”
“What?”
“You see your best friend go on a date with another guy and suddenly you’re interested in her. It’s like every corny rom-com.”
You lean forward, pinching the plush of his cheek.
“You just want what you can’t have, Eren. I’ve been waiting for you to notice me for two years. And of course, you only look at me when you can’t have me.”
“Wait, but I-”
“Eren. I want someone who makes me feel special. And you’ve always been special to me, but I want to be special to someone too. Let’s not make our friendship weird. And hey, maybe we can actually be equals this time.”
“Equals?”
“Two people who care about each other the same amount. Not one person hopelessly pining over the other.”
You give his cheek one last pinch as you pad out his door, giving him a smile before you slam the door shut.
--
The next morning, Eren’s standing outside your Civil Law lecture with a coffee in hand. And a shy smile pressed across his face.
“Good morning, Y/N.”
“Hi Eren.”
Despite your admission of your feelings and your swift rejection of Eren, he’s still standing here. And you were expecting it, because you know that Eren wasn’t really saying any of that in earnest. And it’s nice to admit your feelings, as a way of letting them go before you give in and like someone else.
You take the cup from his hand and shove the much needed caffeine into your mouth, the two of you strolling to your next class. You look over to find Eren with a pinched look on his face, like he’s constipated.
“Eren.”
“Hm?”
“Cat got your tongue? What’s wrong with you?”
“You didn’t…look at the cup.”
You look back down at the cup to find handwriting scribbled on it in green sharpie.
you look pretty today, sweet girl
You laugh, holding it up in the air.
“No way. The barista called you a sweet girl? It’s that long ass hobo hair you have.”
“What? That wasn’t the barista, that was me!”
“You wrote on the cup? Why?”
“For you, stupid! I’m trying to romance you.”
You spit the coffee straight into your cup, looking back down at the cup again. And holy shit he’s right - the way the g is looped and the writing is slanted, it really is Eren’s handwriting.
“Eren.”
“What?”
“It’s cute. But you’re going to do it for like one week. And then get bored of waiting and see some pretty girl at a party and change your mind.”
“I’m not! You’re it for me.”
“Eren. Bullshit. You wouldn’t last a month.”
He leans forward, pressing you into the hard of the wall as he looks down, green eyes glinting in yours.
“Bet.”
“What?”
“I’ll bet on it. Prove it to you. That I’ve got my mind set on you.”
“Uh huh. That takes a lot of patience, Eren. Time. Something that’s never been your forté.”
“I’ll make it my forté, if it’s for you.”
You give into the bet. A month for Eren to romance you, to prove that he’s really only got his mind set on you.
You give in because you know you’ll win. He gives in because he wants to prove the stupid, silly girl he loves that he can do it right.

eren: cmon. ive got back to back classes and im missing that cute little face of yours :(((

you: EREN. YOU’RE SO GROSS AND CORNY STOP.
eren: ok ok see you after class sweet girl. and thanks for the picture. corniness aside, it really did make my day. you’re my favorite thing to look at.
You ignore the pounding in your chest as you throw your phone into your purse and head to the coffee shop. And what you hoped would be an uninterrupted study session is interrupted by a certain green eyed idiot, smiling at you as he takes the seat across from you.
“Hi doll.”
“Eren. You have class.”
“Got canceled. The planets and the fates and all the stars aligned. You and me, free for a little study date at the same time.”
You crinkle your nose as you lift your backpack from the seat next to you, Eren sliding in and taking a sip from your watered down coffee.
“Did you just rhyme? How long did that one take you?”
“The whole walk over here. Did you like it?”
“No.”
Eren opens up his laptop, the two of you working in silence. And in the smallest of ways, Eren’s making it hard for you to focus.
Tangling his legs with yours under the desk, resting his hand on your thigh every time you work out one of your homework problems with him, tucking your hair behind your ear every time it annoyingly flops forward.
“Oh! I have something for you.”
He holds out a tiny little candy, a twisted mango strawberry pop. The one you can only get in Shiganshina, a four hour drive away.
“What the fuck? You had Mindy’s the entire time and your greedy ass wasn’t sharing?”
You take the little candy in his hand, twisting the ends open and letting the flavors melt on your tongue. And the nostalgia hits your head, running in the grass as a kid, your mom keeping a little box on the top of the microwave for you two to share at the end of the day.
“Just got them. I drove all the way to Shiganshina to get them for you.”
“Uh huh.”
“I’m being serious. I went on Sunday, after my lab meeting. Got the box, hung out with my dog for an hour and came back.”
“You were probably just running an errand down there. I bet Zeke just needed your help with something.”
“My parents and Zeke are in Hizuru, remember?”
You feel your mouth go dry as you shuffle the candy in your mouth, huffing back in your chair. Corny ass idiot. They are in Hizuru to meet Zeke’s new girlfriend. But there’s no way in hell he drove all the way there just to get you a candy.
“There’s no way you-”
“I’ve got my mind set on you. In my mind, you and I are already dating. I’m just kind of waiting for you to catch up.”
“Oh, quit i-”
“When you’re my girlfriend, we’ll go together. Make a little drive out of it, see your parents and my parents. Get Mindy’s. Bother that lady who works at the aquarium.”
“Eren.”
He pinches your cheek as you frown, rolling your eyes at him.
“For now, I'll just drive down there alone to get you candy. Three more weeks, stink.”
--
Your stress is building. You’ve got two term papers due next week, a club meeting to plan, a project to go over with your research advisor, and groceries to do. And really, really all you are is bone dead tired. That you can feel your bones dragging and your eye bags deepening and the panic shuffling every time you breathe in and out.
Your final straw? Forgetting you were going to get your period and leaking onto your bed sheets.
And you know it’s not a big deal. That you can wash the sheets and get the stain out, that you can take a shower to feel better.
But this tiny little thing, this red blotch on your sheets, is enough to push you over the edge. Because you’re tired, because so much is going on, because this is just another thing you don’t have time to do but have to.
You can feel the tears streaming down your eyes, burning the sensitive skin underneath your eyes and flushing your cheek.
That’s when Eren finds you. Curled up on the ground, tears streaming down your eyes.
“Woah, hey. Hey, talk to me. What’s wrong?”
He falls flat on the floor next to you, opening up his arms which you roll into and start soaking his shirt in your salty tears. He’s whispering into your ear, whispering sweet nothings and his warm arms are holding you.
“Tell me what happened. Use your words.”
“I-I have a lot to do. The Civil Law paper and the entire plan for the-the club meeting. Dr. Smith wants to meet with me about my-my research plan and I’m not ready and I got my period and leaked on my sheets and I don’t have time to clean and-”
“Okay. It’s okay.”
His warm, calloused hands are rubbing into the small of your back, his hold still firm against you. And he drags you up, opening the shower and warming it up for you. He’s rummaged through your closet - pulled out a stack of clothes and set them on the counter.
“Are you…going to leave?”
“Of course not, Y/N. Outside when you’re done, okay?”
And you take the shower. Spend too long standing underneath the warm water, letting the shower scald your skin in a comforting way, relishing in the smell of your springy body soap washing you clean. Of the tears, of the blood, of your frustrations.
When you towel up your hair and reach for the stack of clothes on the counter, you only now realize what this cheeky bastard did. Left a pair of your pajamas and the hoodie he was wearing on the counter.
You pull it on, his musky smell mixing with the scent of your flowery shampoo, as you pad out of your room, Eren folding your laundry on your bed.
“Eren.”
He turns around and gives you a warm smile, walking forward to lock his fingers with yours.
“You look so cute right now. Pouty little face and your hair in this stupid towel.”
“Quit it.”
He leads you over to your bed, climbing on as he pulls you forward.
“Cleaned the sheets. Did your laundry. And made a plan for you to finish the paper and emailed Erwin from your account that you’re not free until the week after and-”
You can feel your eyes burning, the tears welling up in your face. You lean into his arms and he rests his chin against the top of your head, his hands snaking under your hoodie to press against your cold skin.
“Eren.”
“Hm.”
“This is a really elaborate plan to get into my pants.”
He laughs, the sound vibrating through his chest as he talks.
“I know.”
“I knew it, you dick. You only want to get in my pants.”
“Well, that’s part of it. I am very attracted to you. I’m not going to pretend like I don’t want to be in your pants.”
“Charming. The whole “I’ve got my mind set on you thing” is really working.”
“I'm being honest! I want to be in your pants and in your head and all your little dreams and your heart too.”
You rest your head against his chest, his heartbeat hammering against your ears as he finishes talking. And when you drift off to sleep, you can still feel it beating in tandem with yours. And try to forget why you and Eren are waiting two weeks to do this for real in the first place.
--
He’s done it now. And you’ve caught him in the fucking act. The sweet, sweet satisfaction of proving this idiot wrong - that he would get bored of waiting for you and move onto another girl is standing right in front of you.
It’s Eren’s friend Reiner’s birthday. Eren had told you in advance that he couldn’t see you Friday and you obliged.
Except, Hitch invited you to the party the day of, claiming she needed someone to walk in with so she didn’t look like an idiot. Some guy Marlowe she’s really into is going to be there and she has to be at her best.
And when you get to the party, you lose Hitch in all but five seconds, left in this awkward, sweaty mess of a room alone. But when you walk over to the kitchen, you see it.
Eren leaning over the counter, talking to a girl. Short brown hair, a mass of freckles over her face, the two of them smiling at each other. And when you march over there, you’re all but too happy to rub it in his face.
Because you’re right. And you knew you were right. That Eren, all hot and toned and sexy from his beach summer, would not give it up. The attention, the girls, the love he gets from all of it for you. That he would look at other things and not at you, that you couldn’t be enough for him. And he can buy you coffee and do your laundry and be there for you all he wants, but you know deep down you’re right.
“You little son of a bitch. Week three and I win.” you say, crossing your hands over your chest.
“Huh?”
“I win. You’re at a party, flirting with a girl. Meaning, you don’t have your mind set on me. Meaning, I’m right. That you can’t let go of being a manwhore for me, that you surely have your eyes wandering elsewhere even though you claim to be only looking at me.”
“Y/N-”
“You think driving to get me candy and doing my laundry and giving me your hoodie would buy me over? You’re not getting into my pants for a quick fuck just because you know you can and-”
He pulls you forward, clamping his hand over your mouth. He’s squinting his eyes at you, almost like he’s confused at your outburst. And when you look over at the girl, you realize why.
It’s Ymir. The president of the Gay-Straight Alliance Ymir. Like literally the gayest girl you’ve probably ever met in your life.
“Oh.”
Eren smiles, rolling his eyes, as he drops his hands to lock his hand with yours.
“Yeah, oh. Did you not see it was her when you walked over?”
“No. Hi Ymir.”
Ymir smiles, reaching forward to mess with your hair as she turns to Eren.
“You’re right. She really is stubborn.” Ymir says, smiling at him.
“Tell me about it. She does this every time I do something nice for her.” he responds, squeezing your hand as he talks.
“Well, you are a manwhore.”
“Not anymore, Ymir! I’m only a whore for her.”
She pinches your cheek as she walks off, linking arms with a certain blonde as you walk away. And when you look over, Eren’s lazily making a drink for you on the counter, swirling it in his hand before he gives you the cup.
“It’s Jungle Juice. There’s like three different liquors in it but you can’t really taste it s-”
“You’re not mad?”
“Huh?”
“I just…yelled at you. Really unfairly. And you’re not even mad?”
“Got my mind set on you. Like you said, this thing takes patience. And time. I’ll wait for it. You’ll come to see I’m surprisingly good at this patience understanding when it’s something I really, really want.”
And as he tilts his head back, pouring the drink into his mouth, like the entire outburst you had didn’t happen. And that’s it. You crane your head around the kitchen, looking for it.
“Whatcha looking for?”
Eren watches you mill around the kitchen, opening drawers, lifting picture frames as you look for it. And when you find it - the calendar posted on Reiner’s wall - you rip it off and place it in front of Eren with a marker in your hand.
“What’s this, Y/N?”
“Did you know that I can move time forward?”
“Huh? How much have you had to drink?”
You reach forward, crossing out through the entire week. The last week of the month, for the bet you and Eren had.
Because he’s convinced you. That his mind’s set on you. That even if he used to like other girls, the girl he likes now is you. Enough to drive hours to make you happy, take care of you - bloody sheets and all, and gush at a party about you to other people. Like he’s proud to be around you, like you’re the only thing he looks at.
“I don’t follow, sweet girl.”
“The bet started three weeks ago. And I crossed out the last week, so it’s over now. And I want to be with you no-”
He leans forward, pressing his warm, plush lips against yours as he can’t help but smile through the kiss. All warm and fruity, surely from the drink Eren just made. And he whispers against your mouth, eliciting a laugh out of you.
“Thank fucking god. You were driving me insane, you little heathen.”
You reach forward, tangling your hands with the collar of his shirt as you pull him down again, pressing your lips against his, trying to memorize the feel, the sensation of him against you.
And when Hitch comes home from the party, all buzzed, to find you two under the covers, watching a movie, she says one thing and one thing only.
“No fucking in my bed.”

I am begging you, watch Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts.
This show is so slept on, but lemme tell you - it’s good. The show has a plethora of good racial, queer and neurodivergent representation, and it’s just good.
Legit none of the main characters are white. We have Kipo, the main, who is half-Black and half-Korean (ignore her pink skin) and her crew Benson and Wolf, who are both Black. Benson’s love interest is Latino/Asian. In fact, if I’m correct, the most important white character in the entire show is the main antagonist for season 3. Edit: why the hell did I write black twice.
(Spoilers in this paragraph) A side character, Asher, who is in seasons 2 and 3, is canonically non-binary. I can’t remember if their pronouns are used in-show, but the creator confirmed it on Twitter. On top of this, Benson’s love interest I mentioned? Yeah, his name is Troy, and he’s canonically pansexual. On top of this, Benson actively comes out in an episode where Kipo asks him out; “I like you as a friend...because...I’m gay!” Very sweet episode.
While there are no canonical neurodivergent characters, Kipo is heavily adhd-coded. Wolf has clear trauma from her “family” and the abuse she went through. The show tackles racism (in a way), abandonment, betrayal, found family and healed trauma from families.
Now the plot. The story is a refreshingly original tale of Kipo, a girl that lived in an underground city her whole life. This is because “the surface” has become overrun by “mutes”, animals that have doubled, tripled, quadrupled or plus in size. They can also think, talk and scheme - and they hate humans. However, when Kipo is thrown to the surface with no hope of getting back home, she has to work with what she’s got - which is a small but angry Wolf and a flaky but loyal Benson. And a whole lot of mutes that would like her head on a stick.
Last thing - the cast is actually pretty star-studded. Kipo is played by Karen Fukuhara (Kimiko Miyashiro, The Boys - Glimmer, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power - Katana, Suicide Squad). Seasons 1 and 2 antagonist Scarlamange is played by Dan Stevens (Matthew Crawley, Downtime Abbey - The Beast, Beauty and the Beast - Alexander Lemtov, Eurovision; the story of Fire Saga). And Dave is played by comedian Deon Cole, who was also in Black-ish at a point. Edit: probably the biggest name, at least to me, is the side character Lemieux, portrayed by Grey Griffin (Azula - Avatar, The Last Airbender, Moon and Jackie - SVTFOE, Ice Queen - Adventure Time, Masha - The Owl House, and many more).
Honestly, this show is so good. Please please please give it a shot. If you like Amphibia, The Owl House, Hilda or SPOP, watch it.
Okay final edit I promise: The soundtrack fuckin slaps. Apologies to everyone in the tags pointing out that I missed it

Can you recommend like a fun, silly, summery drama? I'm looking for similar vibes as Cheer Up or Age of Youth (female friendships are a plus). It's hard to find something without melodrama.
First off, I LOVE your user icon! (- ‿◦ )
And I definitely want to help you find something silly and easy to watch, especially as we enter the depths of winter! Some of these are a little less slice of life but still fun. Also I know you already watched/mentioned a couple of these but I'm adding them to the list for everyone else who might be game!
Light Hearted Fun K-dramas (little or no melo)
Soundtrack #1 (slice of life/romance) Best friends for almost 20 years, the two leads start having feelings for one another while working on a project. This drama only has a few episodes which is a shame because it's really cute! As a Park Hyung Sik Stan (sorry but Happiness broke me), he's great in this one and he hasn't lost all of his military weight yet which I LOVE :D
Fanletter Please! (slice of life/ romance) A sick child writes fan letters to her favorite star, an actress who for kdrama reasons is afraid of fan letters. This was a super sweet, short drama - I really liked it so much!
Into The Ring (workplace/romcom): The perfect slice-of-life rom com! Goo Se Ra has trouble holding down a job due to her passionate personality so after she loses her latest job working for the ML, she decides to run for a small government office position because it pays a salary. Literally she does it for the money which is just *chef’s kiss.* The show is about her dealing with local politics and it’s SO FUNNY and smart and the OTP is the best!
King The Land (rom/com): A cold chaebol hotel owner meets his match (literally and figuratively) who is a top notch employee. There's a lot of push pull and the ML (MY BIAS!) Lee Junho's character falls hard and fast. It does have slow moments but if you literally want to watch a happy couple be happy (plus the skinship is chef's kiss and there is so much of it) you'll enjoy this one.
Melo Is My Nature (slice of life): This drama is by far my favorite slice-of-life drama of 2019. Found family, strong and complex characters, I laughed, I cried. Plus a gay character that’s an actual character, with the gay as a casual side note (classy k-drama!!) It was just a perfect show for me. There’s romance, but all of the stories are super interesting.
Top Management (slice of life) I know this show is mainly on Youtube Premium BUT I just got an email from Youtube basically saying “hey we know you never want to pay to watch our shows so we’re just going to let you ok?” so that’s something… Adorable mini drama about a girl who can see the future and becomes the rookie manager for a kpop band. Fun and easy.
Business Proposal (rom/com) Seriously this drama is almost the exact same plot as The Secret Life of My Secretary. It's really fun and cute (just like the latter) and if you like one, you'll like the other ;-)
True To Love / Bo Rah Deborah (rom/com) Bo Rah is a relationship expert publishing her book. She works with a man who is her total opposite making it a cute enemies to lovers. Yoo in Ah is literally so adorable I love watching her! (If I'm honest I can't remember a TON about this drama but I do remember it being an easy watch).
Her Private Life (romcom): Park Min Young really knows how to pick dramas. I loved this one about a museum curator who is secretly a fangirl obsessed with an idol. It’s fun and fluffy but does have a very mild childhood trauma thing with his mother but I mean, 99% of dramas like this do? If you like this one, Touch Your Heart and Why Secretary Kim are by the same person and have similar vibes.
Touch Your Heart (rom/com) A sweet, silly and very mild rom com about a serious boss and his hallyu star secretary. This show was an obvious response to the chemistry that Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na had in Goblin so it was nice to see them together again. Yoo In Na is such a fun person to watch!
Fight for My Way (slice of life/romcom): I love this drama! Always a fave for me, this drama is funny and heartwarming! The leading lady is a strong female which I LOVE, and Park Seo Joon plays her really cute down to earth best friend. It’s a childhood friends to lovers trope with a group of regular people (no rich heirs in this show!) and has a happy ending and a lot of cute flirting, cuddling and kissing. Argh I love these two!
Age of Youth 1 (slice of life): Age of Youth/ Hello My Twenties is one of the best k-dramas that centers around strong female friendships. A group of wildly different girls find themselves rooming together in an apartment. Lots of romance too, but the girl’s lives and friendships are the primary focus.
Shopping King Louie (romcom): Ridiculously fun and lighthearted romp following a spoiled and useless chaebol with amnesia who is being taken care of by a country bumpkin in the city. Very low stakes, super adorable couple, and as many tropes as you can fit in your bag, this one is one of my favorites to recommend.
Eulachacha Waikiki / Laughter In Waikiki (slice of life comedy, romance) I hope you’re ready for a crazy amount of unlikely situations and nutty hijinks because this show is probably one the most silly ones I’ve ever watched. It follows a group of friends who own a hostel so it’s a slice of life drama. At certain points I was like “this is TOO silly” but I’m glad I stuck with it cause it was so hilarious. Plus, the baby is a star!
Wok of Love (rom/com) Despite the fact that the show was shortened by two episodes because of sports, this drama is a funny and quirky show worth watching. Many people dropped it because it was SO crazy for the first couple of episodes (it has a talking horse people!), but it does settle into a really sweet and fun story about a chef, a gangster and a rich girl and her family. If you love food, this show is for YOU!
And finally, if you don't mind a bit of melo, I highly recommend Run On!
Enjoy <3
#kdrama recommendations#kdrama recs#kdrama#king the land#i wrote this list right before bed and im not really awake#so how many typos will there be?#lee junho#on the list twice as he should be#soundtrack no 1#fanletter place#true to love#i love a list

since y'all seemed to like my take on she-ra's princess prom music, here's my version of the owl house theme. i loved this show from the moment i started watching and this theme was a big part of why. it just slaps so much and in my head i always heard it as a rock song, so i tried to make that happen. the last section kinda reminds me of the buffy theme now it has loud guitars.
it's such a genius composition by tj hill because it's all based around the diminished scale, which is very rarely used in pop music or kids tv, especially for the entire piece. it's a dissonant and (for most listeners) unfamiliar set of notes, so to make a catchy and accessible theme around it is extremely clever. i think that non-musicians can probably hear that there's something unusual going on with the chords and melody, but i don't think many people would guess how truly bizarre these note choices are.
because of its dissonance, the diminished scale is popular with composers of horror soundtracks and creepy music in general, which is why it's a great choice for the owl house's aesthetic. but managing to write something that just sounds like a high energy YA soundtrack from that scale is really clever. tj hill deserves a lot of credit for it.

Adventure Time/Undertale/Homestuck drawings
I was listening to music with @j4gm and we made some stuff based on the soundtracks for Undertale and Hey Ice King, Why'd you Steal Our Garbage?
I also drew some silly things based on the adventure time and she-ra Style Notes of How Not To Draw The Characters.
Fight with Many Gunthers!
This is the Cloud Kingdom song but it's also Napstablook....
Jake and Cake! Also on the bottom left, the versions of their faces where Natasha and Pen said "DO NOT DRAW LIKE THIS".
Another style guide reference, they specified not to cut the characters off at the knees.
BWS CATH
"The cuts make me look cooler!"
Waterfall.
Mad Dummy and Epic Bird Flight!
B4TTL3 4G41NST 4 TRU3 H3RO also jake is there blame jagm
The style guide was VERY CLEAR that you shouldn't give Entrapta normal fingers in her hair.
Anyway good times.

That one scorpion humanoid which has trouble adding things together but is a powerhouse of physical strength and empathy, here in She-Ra season 4 opening, so sad and slowly questioning her work ethics. The original drawing is by Ray Geiger, but I wanted to study it, remake it in a slightly different color scheme, give another interpretation for that expression. As in, if she was discovering the sadness and suffering life pulls us through, but the people dearest to her will be there with her.
Soundtrack: Tronic DX7 - Nothing Lasts Forever

Okay my New Year’s Resolution is to stay out of bed more (I basically live there when I’m not at work). I have this whole living room I don’t really use with streaming services I rarely employ. Because depression.
So I’m weirdly looking to watch more TV? I would also not be averse to a couple of YouTubers who demonstrate *very gentle* movement without talking about weight loss. (That last clause is Very Important).
Some of my favorite shows for reference: currently watching OFMD, Severance, Heartstopper, and The Afterparty with friends. I adored The Good Place, and had a lot of fun with Killjoys and Warrior Nun. Assume I’ve watched most of the best recent Western animation (Nimona, She-Ra, Owl House, Amphibia, Vox Machina, etc) all the way back to A:TLA.
I don’t care for most dramas or procedurals (although Miss Fisher’s Mysteries were fun). In general, I get enough real life the-world-is-an-absolute-trashfire from work. (I know The Wire and Breaking Bad are both staggeringly good; I’m not going to come home from working with traumatized teens to watch them.)
My favorite genre is Shit That Makes You Hopeful, ft. Queer Characters, Found Family, and Competent People Who Struggle With Feelings. Excellent Costuming is a pleasure. This Soundtrack Fucks is also good. :)
My to-be-watched list is pretty long, actually, and starts with Bridgerton, Derry Girls, Umbrella Academy, and Sense8, as well as many (but not all, good god) of the recent major SF/superhero universe spin-offs, and the most recent Doctors Who (I petered out somewhere during Capaldi’s run). But I feel like I’m missing something?
#tv recommendations#my shoulder is stuck in ‘reading AO3 on my phone in bed’ mode#sleep hygiene#godammit#I have to do what I tell my clients to do#mental health#depression#yes sitting up to watch TV is a fucking effort right now#and I know that’s not great#but i’m working on it

my bio! (long post)
Hi! You can call me Vi. I use she/her (or they/them if you’re feeling boisterous). Any gendered compliments are welcome, but creature-related ones are encouraged! I’m also very leftist, athiest, socialist, and a punk-in-training. (i despise the government and society to some extent, but i am mostly a law-abiding citizen and a fucking coward)
Gender: thingy? I identify along the lines of xenogirl, paragirl, agender, and genderfluid. I don’t stress it too much :3
I am femme-leaning omni and aro; i have a few microlabels but im fine saying just that. I am also hypersexual (not traumagenic).
Nonhuman identities: I am an Aqua dragon (original species). It fits somewhere between othermidst, othervague, heartedlink, otherkin, otherlink, and fictionkin, but is strong enough that I consider myself dragonkin. Because of this, I am avianhearted, canine and feline simil, have a lush forest hearthome, and feel very connected to bodies of water, the sun, the moon, the sky, and thunderstorms.
Hobbies: I enjoy drawing, crafting, jewelry making, sculpting, biking, gaming, swimming, frolicking, collecting, doing quads, and just doing other gooberish activities :D
Music: I have no set music taste, but a few of my favorite artists are sign crushes motorist, Alex G, Duster, 0neheart, 6arelyhuman, Odetari, Mac DeMarco, Nirvana, cavetown, mazie, dandelion hands, Strawberry Guy, Other Nothing, Paramore, Eyedress, Suicidal Tendencies, Lyn Lapid, Louie Zong, a little bit of Billie Eilish, the Hazbin Hotel soundtrack, the Heathers soundtrack, Surf Course, Starry Cat, Lovejoy (don’t listen to it anymore, but it sounded good), Penelope Scott, a little bit of The Cardigans, and i should probably stop now before you shrivel up and walk off. If you have any band reccomendations, send them my way!
Fandoms: Too many to count, but my mains are Wings of Fire, Hazbin Hotel, Helluva Boss, Heathers, She-ra (new), The Owl House, Amphibia, Creatures of Sonaria, The Coffin Of Andy And Leyley, Newsies, Your Boyfriend, and Subnautica. I am also a furry :3
I am also very involved in communities such as alterhuman, alternative, neurodivergent, and punk, but these are not fandoms.
I live in the midwestern U.S.
This account is geared towards teens and young adults. If you’re over 30 and we haven’t interacted, probably let me give you a vibe check before you follow
i’m a bit of a chronic attention seeker, and will do things or amplify things sometimes that might be subconciously for attention. please be patient, and don’t be rude to me when it happens, i have quite a few microtraumas surrounding this :/
will be fine with people goofin off in my asks!
might do commisions for sketches, doodles, moodboards, backgrounds, and maybe stimboards.
Tag system!
#kaeposting - kin stuff!
#kaecreates - stuff I made that relates to my kintype
#kaefrolicks - picures or videos of the forest, and maybe videos of quads in the future
#kae rambles - dragon go bla bla bla
#vi’s updates - updates about my life
#vi’s passion projects - crafts because slay
#vi’s wonderful world of pretty things - pretty pictures of scenery, jewelry I love, and maybe some outfits. room maybe
#eye of the storm wings of the heart - pretentious ahh name. storm stuff, nice water sounds, avianhearted stuff, basically all my secondary kin things
#+££+|~| - vents. typically angry due to my nature, under the cut with a warning. stylized “teeth”
#€|@\/\/$ - vents. typically obsessive thoughts and talking about hypersexuality. stylized “claws”
#aqua dragons 🪷 - info on or relating to my favorite lil creatures! lilypad as to not to be confused with shrimp or water dragons.
This is a safe place for queer, MOGAI, LGBTQIA, POC, alterhuman, ALL systems, endels, lycanthropes, zooanthropes, physical nonhumans, neurodivergent people (not just ADHD and autism! [them too] ALL! /friendly) anti-contact AND pro-treatment paraphiles (both at once and ONLY both at once. pro-contact, anti-treatment, or both, GET THE FUCK OFF MY PAGE.) , age and pet regressors, people with kinks, so on and so forth. I can’t think of many others, but the rule of thumb is:
If you either don’t wan’t to, or don’t, hurt others, you’re fine. Example: Nonhumans with a prey drive getting the urge to kill small animals without following through, and people with mental illnesses / personality disorders hurting others without meaning to and feeling remorse. You are loved, and you are safe here.
DNI: Bigots, transphobes, homophobes, anti-feminists, radfems, TERFS, paraphiles mentioned previously, conservative people, extensively religious, anti-endel/clinical ‘thropes, antifurries, antikins, and other generally dislikable people. tryna use mild language ‘cause this varies wildly in severity.
And I would prefer if Abrahamic religion was kept out. It’s fine to believe in that god, but I would prefer if it wasn’t brought up much on this blog. thank you for your consideration :)
and I think that’s all! I’ll link the Guide to Aqua Dragons below when I make it! thank you for your time.
#kaeposting#kaecreates#kaefrolicks#vi’s updates#vi’s passion projects#vi’s wonderful world of pretty things#eye of the storm wings of the heart#aqua dragons 🪷#kae rambles#alterhuman#nonhuman#+££+|~|#€|@\/\/$

Fic Roundup - Multi-Chapter
It's been awhile since I went through all my stories, so I figured this would be a good time (before I start my next multi-chapter fic) to do a little organizing.
So here's a list of all my multi-chapter works for easy access:
'Cause There's Magic In My Bones (Magicatra AU) : Easily my most ambitious project - a three-part series about Catra as She-Ra. Obviously extremely canon divergent, minor warnings for extremely low self-esteem and temporary sort of character death. Fun Fact: Every title, including the title of the overall series, comes from an Imagine Dragons song.
This Is My Kingdom Come | This Burden Came To Me | Smoke and Mirrors | Here's To My Yesterday (post-series onshot)
I have faced it, a life wasted: The very first She-Ra AU I ever wrote. Catra and Adora reunite after not speaking for 8 years following Catra crashing a car they were in while driving drunk. The reunion brings a few unpleasant secrets to light. Major Themes: Alcoholism and Recovery, Abusive Mothers, Chronic Pain, Head Injuries.
Accompanying Oneshot But why let the sad song play: Snapshots of Catra's birthdays throughout the years
Fun Fact: Both titles are from Pearl Jam's song Life Wasted.
Always A Heartbeat From Me: Werewolf/Werecat childhood best friends to lovers AU. Adora and Catra grow up together in a wonderful and loving environment, where they can be themselves and love each other, until tragedy strikes, and both their worlds fall apart. Major Themes: CHARACTER DEATH, fake character death, GRIEF, trauma. This story has a happy ending, but it takes a hot minute to get to it.
Accompanying Oneshot Series Between The Heartbeats: The stories of what happened between chapters and after the end of the series.
All Eyes On Me: Drunken Dial/Wrong Number AU. Catra is a retired musician dealing with years of abuse by her record label, Adora accidentally calls her after mixing up the digits in her friend's new phone number. Yes the title is from the Bo Burnham song. Major Themes: Abuse in a professional setting, Coming out, Transgenderism
The Day The Sun Vanished: Alien AU based on The Sun Vanished ARG. Horde Prime's forces invade the planet, taking out all sources of light to drive people out of their homes and make them easier to capture. Best friends Adora and Catra survive several weeks alone in their homes before they're force to flee into the world.
It's dangerous to go alone: Streamer AU. Adora and Catra dated and broke up five years ago after crazy fans of Adora's YouTube channel went after Catra, driving her off the Internet and across the country to escape it. Now she's remaking her online persona, and will be facing Adora again. Yes, the title is from the Legend of Zelda. This story's been described as "a love letter to video games", and that sticks with me.
Leap of Faith: In one universe, Adora is Spider-Woman, with the help of her best friend Catra. In another universe, Catra is Spider-Cat, with the help of her best friend Adora. Unfortunately, every hero has a tragic back story. Fortunately, the multi-verse has other ideas. Title is from Into The Spider-Verse, with all the chapter titles being songs from that soundtrack. MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH.
Little Wonders: Catra and Adora (who is trans but very not out as a teenager) have a relationship in high school that mysteriously ends when Catra is sent to a new foster home and never contacts Adora again. Ten years later, Catra's child walks into Adora's fifth-grade classroom. Major Themes: Transgenderism, long lost lovers, surprise you're a parent, teen pregnancy

Queer Movie Review #28: Nimona
Nimona is one of those movies I kept hearing about over and over, so I put it in my endless queue. Then one of my favorite music artists, K.Flay, wrote a song for the soundtrack. And it was a BOP. (Someone remind me to buy this song STAT.) And she played part of the trailer to debut the song. And then I put the movie at the top of my list. I'm so glad I did. Nimona is ALL heart--a fun romp for all ages.
Nimona, the titular character of the movie adaptation, and the graphic novel it's based on, is a shape shifter of unknown origin. Voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz, Nimona seeks out would-be knight Ballister Boldheart (voiced by Riz Ahmed), after he seemingly commits treason and murder. She offers to be the sidekick to his villainy, because if the whole world sees them as monsters, why not embrace it? Ballister, on the other hand, wants desperately to clear his name and reconcile with his love, Ambrosius Goldenloin (Eugene Lee Yang.) Their unlikely friendship will turn their world upside down--and will warm hearts of all audiences.
The first thing I noticed was the animation. In an era when studios push 3D, computer animated cartoons over and over, it was so surprising to see a movie in 2D. And there's something about the animation that just POPS. I've seen others point out how expressive the characters are, and I think that's part of it. But also, the world is so vibrant in a way that isn't jarring. All in all, the movie is a meal of visual stimulation.
Nimona, originally a graphic novel by ND Stevenson, constantly made me think of Tumblr culture. (Also, why has no one told me that Steven was the creator of the Netflix series, She-Ra?) Turns out, Nimona started as a webcomic on this hellsite. And it shows. Multiple queer characters--including BOTH the protagonists. ACAB themes throughout. And well, chaos. Lots of chaos.
I absolutely loved the progression of Ballister's story. He believed fully in the institution he was raised in, and finds out he's naturally an enemy of the state, all because of his inate differences. How he goes from seeing Nimona from the enemy, to seeing her as family. So so, SO good. Also, can I just point out how amazing it is to see queer characters, queer FAMILY front and center in the story? How often are queer folks fighting just to see ourselves as side characters in media?
Would I recommend this movie? Heck yes. Go watch it. Go watch it with your entire family.
