sanemi and masachika are close friends ever since they met each other on a vacation when they were nine years old. since masachika lives on the other side of the country tho they haven't managed to meet again yet but they're very much in contact, texting calling sending each other birthday gifts etc.
back home sanemi befriends mitsuri when he's eleven and after that it takes a few years before he starts making more friends at around 15/16, so they all get to know him as this kind of loner who's entire social circle consists of mitsuri and people he gets into fights with. and so when masachika comes up at some point literally no one believes he's an actual real human being. because sanemi sometimes mentions this friend of his he's really close to and allegedly he's really great and oh no sorry you can't meet him he lives really far away but when they want details he just doesn't give them any (which ofc is because it's none of their fucking business but ngl it do seem kinda sus) and at some point there's a full on bet running on whether masachika is real or not.
years later when they're in university, masachika finally has the money and time to come and visit sanemi. they walk into the room where the others sit and when masachika introduces himself they all kind of stare at him for a few seconds, then obanai mutters "no way in hell" and sabito throws his arms in the air and hollers "PAYDAY MOTHERFUCKERS" at the top of his lungs and that's the first impression masachika gets of them.
(bonus:
masachika: omg you must be kanae sanemi told me so much aboummpfh-
sanemi, beet red and clasping a hand over his mouth: shut the fuuuuuck uuuup)
HELP THE MEME!!! REY THAT'S SO KJKJKJEJKREJKRKJERJEJRJKEJK XD Oh my god that is GOLD!
And the headcanon!!! Sanemi meeting Masa on vacation one day and staying in contact all these years later is so sweet? And the fact everyone doesn't believe Masa exists cause the way Sanemi presents him to the group is like how those girls who claim they have a boyfriend but "you can't meet him cause he lives out of the country" akljrkjajreajk AND THE BET!!!! Sanemi is such a private guy; he already shares so much of himself with everyone around him- maybe he wants to keep something to himself, what of it TENGEN? *cuts to a confused Tengen currently fending Rengoku off his Mcdonald's fries for the fifth time that hour*
NOT SABITO IJERJEJKRJEKRJ HELP! Him yelling "PAYDAY MOTHERFUCKERS" is beyond funny- he probably made BANK given how long the bet's been going on! He probably told Giyu they're going out to eat cause "I just won the Masa bet!" and poor Giyu had no idea that was even a thing but rolls with it cause Sabito's just HYPED!
And Masa casually embarrasing Sanemi in front of Kanae being all "Oh he talks about you ALLLL the time!" He just gives her all the tea while Sanemi's fighting to cover his mouth all embarrassed, eventually straight up suplexing Masa into the nearest bed to shut him up!
This was absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing Rey!

birth of venue, the scream, guernica ♡⁠
Oh!
My wonderful friend !!! ♡
[hugs!<333]
This brightens my day so much . . . I’m always so very happy to see you!! :D
Thank you for giving me something to smile about today. ♡ ♡
Hmm okay, let’s see!
♡ birth of venus: do you have a favorite myth? if so, what is it?
I had to think on this, but I think maybe the sacrifice of Iphigenia. c:
In greek mythology, Iphigenia was the daughter of King Agamemnon and Queen Clytemnestra!
Agamemnon offends the Goddess Artemis by killing a sacred deer, so she stops all winds, and his ships are not be able to sail. To appease her, he is commanded to kill Princess Iphigenia as a sacrifice so that his ships can set sail to Troy!
He lies and tells her that she is to marry Achillles before they leave. When she arrives at the port of Aulis, however, she finds out the truth. Achilles tries to prevent the sacrifice, but Iphigenia still decides to sacrifice herself anyway!
In some versions, she is sacrificed at Aulis, but in others Artemis substitutes Iphigenia for a deer and rescues her. Princess Iphigenia is then brought by the goddess to the city of Tauris where she becomes Artemis' priestess.
I think this always appealed to me, because Iphigenia ultimately decides to sacrifice herself on her own.
Her choice is a selfless one made for others. Despite how sad and afraid she was, she still wanted to do the right thing.
It’s very inspiring!
I hope that if I ever need to, that I can be that selfless someday, too. c:
♡ the scream: do you have an unusual fear?
Well, I’m not sure if it’s unusual, but I have a recurring nightmare of being left alone!
I’m not sure why, but it always really unsettles me being all by myself in a scary situation.
I am easily frightened though, so perhaps it is a subconscious fear of being afraid, and having nowhere to go?
I do not enjoy these dreams at all!! ;-;
♡ guernica: tell a story - any story you like
Once when I was small, my sister and I were playing a game where we’d race each other to a tree in our yard, and then come back.
After a few turns, I kept running past the tree . . . and did not run back.
I ended up running really far from my house! I was fast!!
When did I plan to stop? Where was I going?
I have no idea honestly!
I was eventually found by my dad, but to this day it’s a mystery as to why I suddenly broke off, and ran away like that. :’)
Thank you again, my friend!! ♡
This was so nice, and it cheered me so much to see you today! So I am hoping that something might brighten and cheer you today, too, and that your day will be full of happy things! :D
Sending many warm hugs, and kind thoughts! Take care ~ ! xoxo
♡ ⋆ 🎀 ゚⊹ 。.:*✧ ✿ 🧁 💗

Thoughts on Buddy Daddies Episode 9
I have so many thoughts about this episode and it all stems from P.A works' fantastic SUBTLE writing choices.
This episode, on paper, sounds like a pretty cliche sports day episode, but they somehow managed to show us the character progression and the relationship progression between the characters.
The biggest progress we can blatantly see is Rei taking an effort to help Kazuki more.
Tumblr media
And we can see that Kazuki reacts accordingly.
Tumblr media
Kazuki is surprised by this development, and voices his concern.
Rei was genuinely impacted by the events in episode 7, realizing that he was pretty 'useless' when it came to raising Miri, and has taken the initiative to give a helping hand.
And what I love about that is, we know that Rei had absolutely no clue how to work a microwave or any basic cooking, so for him to automatically suggest and start making onigiri shows that either he had previously asked Kazuki how to make simple items, or two, he was more observant when Kazuki was cooking, because he wanted to be able to do more, do anything to make his little girl smile.
And it's so wonderful to see them actually bring up this plot point and continue it, rather than letting it be a one-off plot point.
They pick up on his interest to be more involved and we see him actually trying.
Knowing the unfortunate circumstances of his childhood, it's not that Rei doesn't want to help out or get into Miri's activities, but rather that he simply doesn't KNOW what to do. Doesn't know what's right.
His hesitance throughout the Episode is evidence of that, his hesitance to give Miri his riceballs.
Tumblr media
He genuinely looks so sad, feeling like he can't compete with Kazuki's sheer talent with cooking.
His hesitance to even cheer for Miri.
Growing up in a family full of espionage and assassination, quietness and taking up little to no space must've been embedded into his system, into his psyche, and the fact that he's actively trying to be loud, to draw attention to himself, just shows the effort he's putting into taking care and raising Miri, something his father never attempted to try.
And both Kazuki and Miri appreciate his efforts.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They understand that he's trying and are so enthusiastic and receptive to his attempts.
Which is why he takes it to heart that Miri fell down because he was 'loud'.
I think, in that moment, he thought that he failed, that failure is never acceptable.
Tumblr media
But, that final reassurance from Miri (in the cutest way possible), that he didn't fail, he didn't do anything wrong, and Miri considers them all to be a family, something he never had, something he's never known, that's all he needed to realize that, yes, maybe he'll fail, but at the end of the day, Miri is happy, and there's nothing else that matters.
The other one I wanted to talk about, which is definitely more subtle, but the progression of Kazuki and Rei's relationship is truly so beautiful.
Kazuki treasures the help Rei attempts and supports him in every way possible.
When Rei said that he wanted to make riceballs and was worried if Miri would like it, Kazuki instantly reassures him that Miri would love it.
In fact, he proudly proclaims to Miri that Rei would be making onigiri. And I'm sure that if he hadn't, there might be a chance that Miri wouldn't have been able to eat it, while Rei was clouded by his doubt.
When Miri says that she likes the onigiri and she thanks Rei, Kazuki immediately tells him, "hey, you did good, look our daughter agrees too. You're doing good and trying, and we both see that".
When Rei is drowning in his self-loathing about potentially causing Miri to lose the gold medal, Kazuki tries to reassure him and tell him that he didn't do anything wrong.
Finally, when they're walking back, Kazuki tells him that he's proud of him, that he worked hard, and you can tell that Rei really appreciated that, to know that his efforts were being accepted.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And that's why their relationship grows in such an organic manner, Rei puts in the effort, tries his best to help out to the best of his abilities, and Kazuki reassures him, let's him know about things that he would have no idea about, and vocally supports him.
And Miri, my sweet angel, with her bright personality and even brighter smile, constantly comforts both Kazuki and Rei, that she's happy, that they ARE a family.
The reason they are a family is because each one of them helps each other, is an equal part in the group.
And at the end of the day, they're just all trying their best, taking one step at a time, while the others, cheer them on.
Tumblr media
(And this picture is the perfect symbolism of that sentiment, Rei awkwardly trying his best to smile, and Kazuki physically trying to bring him closer into the picture).

𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞
Tumblr media
summary: you've gotten used to stitching up rafe these days.
word count: 0.9k
now spinning: shades of cool by lana del rey
Tumblr media
Rafe likes to keep his work and his home life separate.
In the past, when the two get all tangled up with each other, it gets messy, and so his new habit is to keep everything apart from each other. Talking business with his dad, figuring out what the hell is going on with this gold and the treasure and these stupid Pogues and his stupid sister, it was all interfering with his personal life. His life with you. 
You’re hopelessly clueless. If he didn’t like you as much as he did, it would be annoying. All you have to do is sit there and look pretty on his arm, let him fuck out his anger on your pussy, and follow his rules. And you’re obedient too, you follow his rules and every word he says like a lost puppy, terrified of leaving its master’s good graces.
You don’t ask questions when he comes back to you, knuckles bloody and ribs sore. Instead you sit him down on your bed, running to fetch an ice pack and a damp towel, wiping until all the red leaves his skin while having him hold the cold compress down.
You complain about the mud he’s tracking in on your floor, and you shove his arm when he gets blood on the pale pink of your sheets, but you never ask questions. You never tell him to stop.
It’s an unspoken rule between the two of you. You’ve totally brainwashed yourself, you think in the back of your head, when he comes to you bleeding from a cut that’s too deep for just a tight bandage. You like to think that, because the alternative is that he’s brainwashed you, and you just can’t swallow that thought.
Maybe because you don’t really care if he has. You like being his, you’ve decided, just his and no one else’s. 
Rafe groans from pain, feeling droplets of blood running down his arm. He wants to lay down, even though you told him not to. You’re out of the room right now, running to get the other first-aid kit in your house because you’ve burned through all the supplies in the first one, the one you kept under your bed for Rafe in these situations.
You come back with a bigger box and a glass decanter filled with an amber liquid. 
“No,” he moans out, trying to get up but ultimately sitting back down. His head hurts like a bitch and the wound on his shoulder is bleeding too much, but if you’ve brought him whiskey—it has to be whiskey, even though you know he prefers scotch, your dad likes whiskey and he knows this because for your parents’ anniversary last month, he got your father a bottle of aged whiskey, to try and stay on his good side despite the fact he knows he never will—then it’s about to get bad.
“Rafe, Rafe-” you repeat, scrambling down to his side, setting the whiskey and a box with a blue lid onto your covers. “Please, you have to let me stitch it up, it’s too deep and since we can’t go to the hospital—”
He stops moving under your gentle touch eventually, unbuttoning his shirt and using your clean, white shirt as a makeshift tourniquet. He feels guilty when he sees his blood on it afterwards, discarded on your floor. His heart feels like it's on fire when he reflects on what you just said—not that he can’t go to the hospital, no, we can’t go, you and him, together.
You clean his wound, and make him drink the whiskey so it hurts less. It doesn’t.
“I’m sorry,” you say, while he sucks in a tight breath every time the needle goes in. “There wasn’t any scotch in the house, I’m sorry-”
“‘S’fine, it’s fine,” he chokes out. He has to be quiet because your parents are asleep in the next room. “Whiskey’s good. You’re good.”
You beam under his praise, even in a situation like this. He grips your face with his bloody hand for a second.
“Thanks for doing this, kid.” 
“Yeah, yeah,” you repeat back at him, looking back down and continuing your work on his arm. He stares at the blood leftover on your cheek, his blood.
You stitch up his arm and then wrap it tightly. You clean off as much blood as you can, and then find him clean clothes to sleep in—his clothes. You have half his closet here, he notices, pulling out a baggy shirt for him and then for you. You both crawl into bed together. You’re exhausted, he can hear it in your breathing. You just hope you’re not getting too tired of him.
“Sorry, kid,” he says. You look up at him quickly, eyes watery, from your position against his chest. His good arm hangs around you, fingers brushing right above your elbow. He looks down to meet your eyes. “I got some blood on your sheets. Sorry.”
“Oh,” you breathe out. “It’s okay, I’ll just wash them.”
He presses a kiss to the top of your head, and you’re asleep before you know it.

A Ghost's Promise (tooth-rotting fluff)
Tumblr media
A/N - please excuse me, I've never been to a wedding, so I apologize if anything is inaccurate. But I thought this would be so sweet.
The main song choice for this is Young and Beautiful - Lana Del Rey.
Pairing: Simon 'Ghost' Riley x fem reader (fluff)
Warnings: none, I think. Just don't let your heart melt, alright? :) maybe some curse words, but I don't think so. Let me know if I missed any.
WC: 2.4k~
Simon had proposed to you 6 months ago. It felt like something straight out of a movie, although it was unexpected at the time. You were at a lake, a beautiful one, surrounded by mountains, somewhere you were camping at. You were hunched over like a gremlin, looking at the cool rocks and stones. You found a shiny black stone, sat up and jumped in place, excited to gift it to Simon but as you turned around, you found him on one knee, eyes crinkled in a soft smile. Unmasked, with tears in his eyes, holding out a beautiful ring, too beautiful. A ruby, surrounded by skulls and roses, a black band. 
You couldn't speak, couldn't make a noise. You held your hand over your mouth as you smiled ear to ear, tears welling in your eyes. Your eyes met Simon's soft ones, a stray tear falling out of his left eye. He didn't even have to ask it, you were already sobbing.
"Yes! Oh, Simon, yes!" you cried, reaching out for him as he sat up, hugging you tightly. His hands rubbed your back, soothing you as the other hand placed the ring on your finger delicately, rubbing the back of your hand. You heard him sniffle as he kissed your forehead.
You pressed your face into his chest, unable to stop the happy tears from flowing. He laughed, which made you laugh, looking up at him to meet his eyes. Both of your wet eyes crinkling as you smile at each other lovingly. 
"I fucking love you," you spoke, your voice pitched as you're laughing, crying, smiling. 
"Yeah, I fuckin' love you," he chuckled. "S' much."
--
You think of him proposing to you, trying not to tear up while you're getting your makeup done before the big day, you'll officially be Mrs. Riley. That has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Every cherished moment you've spent right beside him. Every date, especially the first date where he was stuttering while talking to you and all shy. You remembered the first time he revealed his face to you; you were in utter awe, wondering why he had hidden such a beautiful, gorgeous treasure from you for so long. 
You smirked, humming a laugh while the makeup artist tilted your head back to make the final touches. "Beautiful!" she chirped, proud of her work. 
You look in the mirror, examining the remarkably done work. A red and black smokey eye, cat-eye eyeliner with subtle mascara, to pair beautifully with your red and black gothic wedding dress. 
Your mom toddles along, smiling at seeing her daughter on her wedding day. Her eyes were wet, she'd been crying, her daughter really was all grown up now. "Oh, sweetie," she cupped your cheek. "I'm so proud of you and so happy for you."
"Thanks, mom," you smiled at her, tears threatening to prick your eyes while you tried to laugh it off.
"Let's go get you in your dress, shall we?" she suggested, helping you stand up. One of the workers walked up, asking if she could be of any help, your mother politely declined. 
--
You kept your eyes glued shut, not wanting to look in the mirror quite yet while your mom zipped up the back, fluffing the skirt, making sure it was all perfect. 
She sighed contently, resting her chin on your shoulder. "Ready to see how beautiful you look, angel?"
You sighed a deep breath, nervously chuckling before opening your eyes, seeing yourself in all your glory in the mirror before you. The blood red fabric under the black lace bodice, the beautiful pattern of the sleeveless lace-straps. The way the skirt barely poofed out slightly.
You felt like a princess, Simon's little princess. 
"Oh, wow," you remark, smirking in the mirror as you twirl around. Your mom laughs proudly, her voice hitching from tears.
"I just... I raised such a beautiful daughter. I love you! I can't wait to see this new chapter of your life."
"Mom, stop, you're going to make me cry," you pleaded. "I love you, too."
"I know, I know, I'm sorry," she wiped her tears. "Just can't believe it still."
Last minute, your father walked in, he proudly smiled, crossing his arms as he watches his once little girl, be all grown up on her wedding day. He was a quiet man, but you could feel the love from his soft gaze upon you.
--
Simon and Johnny were in his dressing room. Simon grumbled at Johnny while he was obsessively and neatly fixing every crinkle in his suit and straightening up his tie and sleeves of his shirt. 
"You nervous, Simon?" Soap asked, his voice soft and curious.
"Little bit," he lied, he was nervous as fuck. Obviously, he's never done this before. There were so many people here to witness your ceremony. Of course, he wanted everyone to know how much he loved you and that you were his, but being eyed by a lot of people made him incredibly nervous, understandably. But most of all, he was so nervous to see you and how elegantly beautiful you would look. He fears he may have a heart attack at the sight of you walking down the aisle.
Price shuffled into the room, cheering his cigar and beer to Simon. He smiled at Johnny, then back at Simon. "We're honored to be your best men," he nodded to Johnny. "And your groomsmen, Simon."
Simon nodded stoically, "Thank you, sir."
"Almost time," Johnny smiled, patting his best friend on the back, nodding at him in the mirror. "Yer goin' to do amazing, L.T. 'M so happy for you and y/n."
--
You were catching up with your bridesmaids, chit-chatting and squealing about how happy everyone was. You peek around a corner, and look at the venue. Oh, Simon...
He had set up such a beautiful theme for your outside wedding. Tables set up with black tablecloth draped over them, littered with beautiful arrays of matching dishes, translucent-black wine and champagne glasses scattered about, with beautiful dark candles lined up perfectly. Across the walkway, freesia flower petals scattered among it. So elegant.
Viewing the altar, you spot a black arch, wrapped with a red silk drape with roses across it. Your mouth fell agape as you took in everything. This is everything you could ever ask for and more. Soft, soothing music played in the background while everyone was getting into their seats.
Your maid of honor, your best friend, lightly tapped your shoulder. "He really loves you, you know... I mean, this is just... beautiful, y/n."
You smile whole-heartedly, meeting her eyes. "I know, I-I'm in disbelief, is this even real?"
"Yes, silly! You deserve it!" she wraps you in a tight hug. "I'm so happy for you, I can't explain it."
--
You soothe yourself by rubbing the back of your hand, nervousness setting over you as you watch the officiant walk down the aisle; it's about to start. You fix your posture and start taking deep breaths. Your best friend makes final touches, making sure you're looking as amazing as you should on your day. She's taking your attention off of Simon walking down the aisle to his place as his groomsmen follow not far behind. 
"You're so beautiful, it's going to be amazing," she whispered, cupping your face, before her and your bridesmaids go into their place.
Your father walks up, nodding at you, silently telling you 'it's time'. You lock your arm around his, as he sets still for a moment, cherishing this moment before he 'lets you go'.
--
As your father walks you down the aisle, everyone is smiling ear to ear, proudly as they keep intense eyes on you. You'd focus on them if possible, but seeing how handsome, how beautiful Simon looked, you could have burst into tears right then and there. This was really happening, and you were about to be able to finally call him your husband.
His breath hitched, a fiery lump burning in his throat as he attempts not to cry from seeing how beautiful you look; how proud he was to call you his. And here you are, walking to him. He's always been happy with you, but no moment compared to now. 
A song softly starts in the background, Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey
Time slowed as you walked up to him, smiling at him proudly, also holding back tears. Your father lets your arm go as you finally approach your groom, standing directly in front of him, both of you all teary-eyed, happiness radiating off of each other vibrantly.
The officiant asks everyone to be seated as they had stood up, softly clapping for the two of you. 
"On behalf of Y/N and Simon, I would like to thank you all for being here this afternoon. For taking the time and making the journey, and for all the effort that it takes—not only to be a part of this day, but to be a part of each other’s lives," he paused. "Y/N and Simon have invited you here to this beautiful place to show you a glimpse of an important piece of their love. To share with you their journey through the past years of their relationship."
"I wish I could tell you a single story about Y/N and Simon that summarizes their relationship and how they enrich each other’s lives, and the lives of each of us, but the truth is there isn’t one single event that is a good encapsulation of what they mean to me, to each other, and to all of us. But what I do know is that both of them care deeply and passionately for each other; they protect each other; they make each other laugh and they think outside themselves; that time magically seems to both fly and slow down when they’re together. They help each other in ways that are obvious and unnoticed, but always appreciated."
If you weren't worried about not knowing what to do, and focused on what the officiant was saying, you could have gotten lost in Simon's eyes right then and there. You knew he loved you; but this, this... 
"As a third-party spectator to their developing love, it was extremely clear that the two of them represent a perfect pairing because each of them complements the other so well. They balance one another, and while each of them are tremendous individuals on their own, together they are even better. And being better together, as a team, a unit, and partners in crime, is what has been many years in the making and ultimately leads us to being here today, witnessing their commitment to one another in front of those they love most."
"So, without further ado."
"The symbolic vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, “You know all those things we’ve promised and hoped and dreamed? Well, I meant it all, every word.” When you love someone, you do not love them all the time in exactly the same way. That is impossible. Yet that is what most of us expect. We forget the ebb and flow of life and of love and of relationships. We insist on permanence, on duration, on continuity. But in love, as in life, the only stability is in change, in growth, and in freedom. Therefore what you promise today must be renewed and reaffirmed tomorrow and all the tomorrows to come. The Bride and Groom have now prepared their own vows. Y/N… "
You gulp, and have to stop yourself from looking around the room. You softly clear your throat. 
"Simon..." you smiled.
"I always thought it would be difficult to find someone who will love me when I'm always scattered in a thousand pieces.
It's like trying to complete a puzzle when you don't even know if you have all the right pieces. But then you showed me that every piece doesn't have to be in place to create something beautiful.
That love can exist in the most imperfect lost and broken people And I promise you that love will be just as beautiful, if you're in a thousand pieces or just one."
You could see his Adam apple bob as he cleared his throat. You saw a stray tear fall out of his eye. Dammit, he's going to make you cry!
"Y/N," he cleared his throat again, shifting in his step.
"I didn't fall in love with you I walked into love with you with my eyes wide open, choosing to take every step along the way. I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe we are only fated to do the things that we'd choose anyway.
And I'd choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you, and I'd choose you."
"Having considered all of these things, Simon, do you promise again to do your very best each day to create a loving, healthy, and happy marriage?"
"I do," he reassured softly.
"Y/N, do you promise again to do your very best each day to create a loving, healthy, and happy marriage?"
You smile, nodding eagerly. "I do."
"No one but you can declare yourselves married. You have begun it here today in speaking your vows before your family and friends, and you will do it again in the days and years to come, standing by each other, sharing the highs and lows of life. Go forth and live each day to the fullest." the officiant spoke. "You may now kiss the bride."
The officiant stepped away, your hands locked with Simon's before he pulled you into the most passionate kissed you've ever experienced, your first kiss as husband and wife. Your tears fell hard, falling down your cheeks over your pressed lips. The kiss dove deeper, his hand caressed the small of your back as he took a deep breath, having to pull back before he got carried away.
"Mr. and Mrs. Riley!" the officiant whooped, holding his hands up in celebration. The crowd cheered for you, and you could hear Johnny, Price, your best friend and bridesmaids screaming and shouting happily. 
You both smile ear to ear, your arm locked in his as you walk back down the aisle - together. You make eye contact with your parents, your stoic dad allowing a few tears to fall, your mom sobbing heavily yet smiling. 
--
As the night went on, you experienced your first dance together. Your head lay on his chest as you sway back and forth, comforted by the slow pace of his heartbeat. Lost in your own world, you look up at your husband.
"Simon?"
"Yeah, darlin'?"
"I love you. I'm so glad to have you. Forever isn't long enough..." 
"I know. I know. I love you, babe." He held your head flush to his chest, rubbing your soft hair. 
--
A/N - Alright I really didn't know how to end this, but WAS IT GOOD?! I hope so 🥺😭

miguel o'hara had never been big on physical touch. or talking. or purposefully making funny jokes. he actually wasn't a big fan on a lot of things. the only person he really regularly talked to was lyla, but that was only because he had to in order to get things going in the spider society-- but someone he could never find himself pushing away from was you. at first, being completely honest, he'd been so busy with monitoring the whole spider society that he'd neglected to realize that you and lyla were attached at the hip. both of you got along great, both having similar wardrobes and the occasional matching sunglasses. what began with conversations with solely lyla, even after work hours, ended with miguel joining in with the occasional wry joke every now and then. that slowly began to grow more into full fleged conversations with the three of you, and you and miguel had created a bond that seemed to be just about unbreakable.
he isn't big on romance, he likes to think, because he doesn't have the time for it. sometimes miguel says the words "the fate of the multiverse" and you and peter b. look at each other and snort a little, but sometimes you see the the corner of his lips twitch.
the first time miguel o'hara does anything remotely romantic is in battle, when some random universe's doc ock decides that you'd be the perfect victim. you weren't awake for most of it, but lyla tells you that miguel had practically dropped everything to save you, refusing to acknowledge the possibility that you wouldn't make it. he had stayed at the hospital every night to look after you, and every day grew into a week into two weeks before you were discharged, and during that time, both of you talked like there was no tomorrow.
when miguel actually realizes that he's in love and he's not having some sort of allergic reaction, he kind of sneaks in a small, quick question, even leaning against the wall to sound extra casual to lyla, "hey uh what's that new album taylor swift released" and lyla drops everything because . why is this man even asking this question . but it doesn't take long for her to connect the dots, and realizes that he wants to know more about your interests and what you like. lyla tells you, obviously, and fortunately, things progress from there.
once you two are actually together, miguel treasures lazy saturday mornings and cozy friday evenings. he even loves the "i'm so exhausted i might die" monday mornings on his way to the spider society, because he's with you. if you struggle with anxiety, while he might not know the best thing to do at first, he'll talk you through it every step of the way. but he won't ever pity you or see you as something broken, he sees you as someone who's deserving of respect, and most importantly, love.
oh man this guy starts keeping an extra hair tie on his wrist for you, or he literally keeps make up wipes in his storage cabinet (he asked peter b advice on what he keeps on hand for his wife ����<33), and he definitely thinks it's awesome that you're studying six languages, and he'll also definitely ask you about it !! also he loves holding you while sleeping beacuse if a man is touch starved it's him
Tumblr media
RANDOMIZED TROPE:
" SHARING A BED "
-> within two weeks of dating, miguel o'hara has realized a lot of things, mainly being that you thrive on physical touch-- something he's tried his best to shake himself away from. but as he watches you, arms opened wide for an embrace laying on a hospital bed after a particulary taxing day fighting doc ock, his heart stutters. slowly, hesitantly, he takes your hand, lying down beside you. he immediately warms up to your embrace, letting your head fall to his chest. lyla takes photos<33
Tumblr media
a/n: thank you so so much for the request!! i am so so sorry that this took so long!!! if i missed anything please let me know >:D!<3 i hope you're doing alright + things are going okay for you!! remember to hydrate and eat well, take care!!!

rei's short note : i plan to post this on wattpad or ao3 on friday, so i want to hear your opinion. should i post it or nah?
Tumblr media
imagine the reader being white star's kid. like when he (the white star) broke the vow of death and stole the red egg and raon's egg, burning the dragon slayer village. he also makes sure to kill the reader since according to him, the reader is too innocent to survive this world without him. besides, he also doesn't want the reader to suffer because of him. but little did he know the reader also got cursed after their father broke the vow of death that they made with the last dragon lord (sheritt).
the reader also become a reincarnator. the only difference is unlike their father, the reader doesn't steal other people's bodies. since every time she got reincarnated (with her memory intact) the gods always gave them a new body. since according to the gods up on the heavenly realm. the reader didn't do anything wrong. they just got cursed just like their father because the white star treasures them so much ( in a very unhealthy way ).
fast forward to the current timeline. the white star got defeated by cale and co. but the reader's curse is still not broken. and that was the time that cale go to the orphanage where the reader was. and of course, he met the reader there. the reader's current body has the same crimson red hair and the reader's eyes were the same as cale the only difference is the reader's eyes have a lighter colour. what was the reason why cale go to the orphanage where the reader was? simple, it's because he needs to find the reader! why does he need to find the reader? well.. thanks to a certain someone (the god of death) he got some information about the reader. and besides, let's just say when the white star was slowly becoming ash after cale stabbed him. he heard him say someone's name, which is the reader's name of course.
and of course, after meeting the reader. much to the reader's surprise, cale adopted them and brought them with him. what does everyone's reaction? of course they are surprised! who wouldn't be surprised when their young master cale brought back a kid with him after going on a 'vacation trip'?! and that kid looks exactly like him!?!
and because of you, a rumour spread around the eastern and western continents that you were cale's illegitimate child. but cale didn't even bother to correct those rumours. since he was too busy lazing around with you and the others and spoiling you with clothes and food (since according to him, you were too thin). besides, it will be better for people to think that you were his illegitimate child than being the white star's child, right? since once people know that you were the white star's child. people will surely try to kill you. don't get him wrong, he hates the white star but he cares about you.
are you wondering what is alberu's reaction when he heard about that rumour? well, he knows how crazy his dongsaeng is. so there is nothing about his dongsaeng that will surprise him anymore. but hearing that his dongsaeng had an illegitimate child? boy, alberu almost fainted after hearing that, poor alberu.

Accidentall text!
- What will they do if you accidentally send a text about them!?
Req -> ☆ | hc + scenario | word count : 932
Warning : none, (maybe teasing on rei's)
info = : gn!reader , "!" Era Set on izumi, sanbaka mentioned,fluff, ✿ : your friend ☆ : you.
-
Izumi sena
↳ - i think he would be shocked but at the same time was "duh i am" When the rambling is about his beauty
his heart actually flutter a bit (will not admit it)
He either will answers the text or just approach you just right then.
Or maybe both?
Before he approach you, he will screenshot the text first so he can always treasure the text if someday you delete the text.
if he's feeling like it he will say thank you.
Maybe ask you to maybe hang out with him sometimes (its a date invitation).
Will act like it doesnt affect him but it does!
If you apologize to him first and promise to delete the text he will say its okay
-
As you were walking towards your friends class, you saw some 3 graders there.
It was the sanbaka : Kaoru, chiaki , and last but not least izumi sena.
He was just standing there watching two of his friends kaoru and chiaki chatting with each other.
Your hurt flutter seeing him. he look so beautifull as always, you then pull out your phone and Saw that your friend texted you.
✿ [friend] : "[name] where are you?"
☆ [you] : "I just saw izumi!!! He look so beautifull!! I cant believe someone like him exist, it feels like he's getting more gorgeous than ever day by day !! He so perfect Do you think if i buy him a shiny ring would he wear it??"
The text was followed by more rambles about izumi, after you finished you look towards the sanbaka again but you didnt expect izumi to look towards his phone.
and was typing something? While blushing..? What is he doing?
You then take a look at your phone again and Saw a notification from izumi. As you tried to process what just happend, you then realized that you send it to izumi instead of your friend.
You start to panic while directly staring at your phone, and didn't realize that someone was approaching you, You then feel someone suddenly poked your shoulder as you turn your Head and Saw that person was Izumi Sena himself.
well, you wish you were strong enough to talk to him.
-
Kaoru hakaze
↳ - i hc him as a loser for love , he would be speechless
Will be flustered
Did not expect that text really
he gotta be giggling and kicking his feet when he saw that especially if he like you so much 
if we're talking about "!" kaoru I think he would approach you but "!!"  Kaoru no he would NOT approach you until he's ready
i think he would sutter a bit due to nervousness? 
if you delete the text right after he approach and act like nothing happened he would be more emmbarassed
Trying to act cool but failed (gl next time hakaze loser kaoru)  
-
an ordinary day goes by just like usual.
having casual talk with Kaoru just like everyday, but unfortunately you have a habit that i might said a bad one. 
namely it because you always texting your friends about things related to Kaoru and yourself in detail!
usually between how he looks today , of course prettier as always and could also be about what you two are talking about.
and on that you immediately text your friend about it without you realizing you sent it to kaoru instead of your friend , but you had already turned off your phone to even realized. 
and when he read it he turn embarrassed.
Beacuse of that whenever you guys passed each other , as you greeted him he will answered shyly.
making you confused and immediately open your phone to chatted your friend about it.
but after you opened your phone you realized that it turned out the ramble that you wanted to send to your friend was instead sended to him.
If you feel embarrassed too then you guys might not talk for a few days but if you don't really care about that and keep talking to him he might pass out (in good way dont worry)
-
Rei sakuma
↳ - i dislike him sm (denial) 
Okay i don't think he will be Flustered
but he do will smile and stare at his phone for a long time that the person who pass by him was like "what is wrong with this guy"
Will approach you and talk about it if he or you have time
Will not rush it tho he doesnt like rushing
Oh? You tought he doesnt know how to screenshot well to bad for you he learned how to do it probably from kaoru or koga
Will tease you with that text of course. 
like maybe one day you Were mad at him and said
"you're un-attractive or something but he disagree wuth your statement saying "i dont think so" while showing the text you send about how gorgeous he is.
-
maybe it was when he was in the library when he was looking for a book he got a notification from his phone that made him smile like an idiot.
And before he answered the text he obviously screenshot it.
It might can be used in something...
he typed a reply with a "oh? really (*´˘`*)-?"
As he smiles and thought it was kinda cute when he suddenly got a text about how Gorgeous he is.
you apologized and typed that you sent it to the wrong person but whatever you say he already saw it.. He already know
he already saw it.. He already know
He teased you about it making you flustered and dont open your phone of a while after that
he stopped chuckling after being reprimanded by tsumugi who told him that people are calling him scary for silently standing in the corner of the selves while smiling like an idiot.

I met her in the bathroom. *Dallas Winston x Fem reader*
(Inspired by the song "Met Sarah in the bathroom" by awful tunes)(GREAT song btw, I love it.) Also I might start doing song fics <3
It was another night at Buck's. People drinking their life away, for whatever reason.
You had stopped by the bathroom, freshening up your makeup and making sure your hair was in place, as you adjusted you colorful hair clip. You didn't hear the bathroom door open, as you were startled by seeing Dallas in the mirror. "Oh shit, sorry. I didn't know the bathroom was being used." Dallas said, feeling stupid. "I would rather it be you than some creep." You laughed. He smiled, not with his snarky smile. But a genuine smile. You were lucky to even be friend with Dallas. You liked him a lot, but wasn't sure if he would return the affection. "Um, your hair looks real nice tonight." He complimented, even though it wasn't just your hair that caught his attention. Your clothes, smile, those really pretty hair clips you wear. "Oh thank you Dally, that's real sweet of you." You smiled. You cute yourself off, realizing that you were still in the bathroom. "I'm sorry, Dal. I didn't mean to keep you from using the bathroom." He shrugged. "I didn't need to use the bathroom. I needed to get away from everyone down there." He said, looking into your eyes. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You two were drunk off your asses. You two closed off the upstairs bathroom just for you two to hang out. Good luck to the people that have to pee. Dallas looked at you and giggled, his head falling into your neck as he laughed trying to keep himself up. You laughed as well. You felt lucky to see this side of him. You wanted to treasure this moment. "Hey Dallas?" you asked, out of the blue. "Yeah, what's up?" You smiled, your eyes sparkling as you looked his way. "I really like hanging out with you." You said sweetly, wondering if you should say anything else. "I like hanging out with you too." His cheeks flushed a gentle red. You smiled. "I think I really wanna kiss you." You confessed. You were terrified of what his response would be. "Really?" He asked, shocked at your confession. "Yeah but I don't wanna scare you off or anything." "Nah, it's cool." He said, cutting you off. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> It was only a matter of time before you two were up against the wall, currently in a heated makeout. "Baby I think I love you." He said, before grabbing your face and kissing you with so much passion, moaning into the kiss. There was no telling how long he wanted to do that. He just wanted you. "I love you too." You breathed out, desperately chasing your breath. He wanted to spend the rest of his pointless, unsatisfying life with you. No matter the risks.
Feel free to request songs, more along these lines. Yk, like Lana del rey, prince, and whatever.

*pulls out a long list* Rey- OH REY- I have thoughts! Most of them are just mindless screaming but also- HANZNWNDNSNSNWJNSNSNS IT WAS SO GOOD??? Even though there’s only four songs, they all hit so well???
I can’t stop listening to Ruthlessness- the singer for Posideon: his voice is so toe curling good AHH! (The part where he’s all “That cyclops you made blind…was mine.” AHHH! I can’t wait for the “Get in the water” song to drop NWNSNWNDNWNDNEN 😍😍😍😍😍) It makes me wanna go fight in the shower wjsnwns 🤣
Keep your friends close is also an incredible song! My sister and I can’t stop quoting the “It’s treasure!” Part; also the wind spirit’s little giggle before she sings is just qhnxnwnznwndnsnsnmsd 🥰🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭😭 It’s so gremlin like and so cute and I just- AH! 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰
Luck Runs Out is also such a banger? The part where Odysseus is all “Yo dude I need you to work with me and not question my authority” and his friend (I literally cannot remember names forgive me) is clearly resigned as he says “Okay.” OOF I LOVE THE ANGST! (Also mood- I’d be over Odysseus’s BS to at this point qnznwnnsns)
Storm is also an incredible opening song! I won’t lie- I haven’t listened to it nearly as much as the other three but it’s still so good??? It’s stuck in my head the “Storm” part just- 😭😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love this musical so much awbsbwnzns
I’m likely gonna listen to this album for the next several days cause I just love this arc so much- I can’t WAIT for Circe’s saga: she’s such a mythological icon and GOD I’m so ready! 😍😍😍 Thanks for asking friend!

I have a question? From emsemble stars and twst, which character (as a yandere) do you think is the most possessive? (I'm genuinely curious)
Hi cupid, it´s good to see you :D
Hm, I always have difficulties deciding when it comes to what character is the most *insert thing* but here are what came to mind when I read this ask ^^
For twst, I think Malleus, Leona and Jamil would be some of the most possessive yanderes. All of them actually for kind of similar reasons
Malleus has the "benefit" of being a dragon fae and dragons are known to be possessive creatures when it comes to their treasures so that´s one thing that would point me towards yandere Malleus being possessive. Then there´s also the fact that he´s probably very lonely. Because of who he is and what he looks like, most everyone at NRC is scared of him and that´s why Malleus has a lot of trouble making any friends at all, which probably makes him very sad.
And then you come along and suddenly there is someone that doesn´t fear him and cares about him. It´s no surprise that he wouldn´t be willing to ever let you go after all this time of being alone, right?
Leona for as long as he can remember has always been the second choice, his brother always getting all of the praise simply because he was born earlier. This by no doubt made Leona bitter and caused him to not want to give anything his best efforts, as it would still amount to nothing in his mind.
But then suddenly you come along and somehow manage to worm your way into his heart. And suddenly being second place in your heart is something that doesn´t satisfy Leona anymore. Just this once, he wants to be first. He wants to be the only person that gets to hold and touch you and he´s willing to fight dirty to achieve that. He´s not going to leave things up to chance and risk that someone else might sweep you away
Jamil, similar to Leona actually, always had to stay in the shadows his entire life. He was supposed to serve Kalim and raise him up while making sure that he himself was always inferior.
From book 4 we know how much this hurts Jamil so when his darling finally comes along and cares about him and not Kalim, his possessive side begins to show. He´s never had that kind of attention before and he fears that it isn´t going to last. What if you actually start to like Kalim more than him and leave him behind once more? He can´t let that happen.
Jamil decides that just this once, he wants to have something for himself
As for enstars, hoo boy there are so many characters that I´m probably going to forget someone that is shown to be really possessive in canon but for now some of my picks are:
Ritsu. I think you all saw this coming. Ritsu is the clingiest character I know ( “You know other clingy characters??”) and he´s shown to be very jealous and demanding when it comes to the people he loves. He doesn´t want to be separated from his darling for even a second and gets jealous when they´re spending time with someone else. Absolutely is the type to bite you just so others can see that you have been claimed by him.
This all stems from his abandonment issues that he developed due to Rei and the war so know you know who to thank for having this possessive vampire boy breathing down your neck 24/7
Another one I see as being very possessive as a yandere would be Natsume. I actually don´t really have like a very good reason for this but he just strikes me as the type? He definitely also is the type of boyfriend to get really jealous and agitated if someone else spends too much time with his darling.
Actually remember that time in Wonder Game where he was upset and scared because he thought Tsumugi was going to leave him so he like blackmailed a teacher so they would show him Tsumugi´s files where he wrote down what he wished to do after he was done with school? Normal behaviour
Shu I feel would get possessive once you´ve actually mentioned to break down his barriers and got to know him better. He´s not one to be open about his feelings and his rather.... harsh way of speaking to people that are “bothering” him don´t make it very easy to talk to him in the first place so it would take a lot of effort on your end to get closer to him.
But once you do manage to achieve that somehow? He gets very attached very easily and you probably don´t even notice the subtle changes to the way he treats you. Starts to try and drive off other people with his sharp tongue so they won´t take you away. Demands you to stay around while he sews because he likes your company.
Korka showed a screenshot of this before but literally the type of guy that gets offended when you say you have a life outside of him???
He would have been way worse if we were talking about past Shu and he has gotten way better by now but I still think some of that would remain if he really does love you. It moreso stems from a fear of being left behind than of a need to control you, though they do overlap at times

Fav artist for Garth?
I have been thinking about this ask for multiple hours, and I am unsure if I can pick a true favorite because there are so many wonderful artists who have drawn Garth over the years! However, I think I built a pretty solid list of my top 5 artists for Garth (oops!), so here goes:
#1: Phil Jimenez
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have so much love for the way he draws (and writes) Garth! Of every artist out there, I feel he has the most love for drawing Garth and I can feel that care and attention to detail in all his work. I am absolutely in love with the way he draws Garth's expressions too! He allows him to have exaggerated expressions and really allow us to feel the emotions of the story through the art. He's not afraid of showing him in painful and less than idealistic moments, and allows his face to reflect that. I think it's something that a lot of current comic book artists shy away from for fear of making characters look "ugly." But Jimenez goes all in on it and still makes Garth look stunning 24/7!
#2: Ramona Fradon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ramona Fradon was one of the co-creators of Garth, and was, in my opinion, one of the most incredible people in the comic's art industry. She sadly passed away last month at age 97, and she only just announced her retirement from art a month prior to her passing. Her influence on the industry, especially for female artists, was monumental, and her art style stood out so uniquely amongst others. I've always loved how fantastical her art is. She creates fascinating underwater creatures and has an absolutely precious way of drawing Garth. I appreciate that she made the decision to draw him looking as young as he was at the time, especially since a lot of other teen sidekicks were drawn to look older. I feel very lucky that I was able to get a piece of art from her (the first pic in this section!) around the time of her passing. I will treasure it forever!
#3: Nick Cardy
Tumblr media
There is something so charming about the way that Nick Cardy draws Garth! There's a simplicity and retro feeling to it that comes off as so fun! I don't know exactly what it is about his art, but it always makes me smile!
4: Mark Buckingham
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Buckingham's style is like if "stretch and squash animation" was a static art style, and I LOVE it. It looks so funky and bouncy and expressive! It's one of those styles that I don't think everyone loves, but it really works for me and makes the comics extremely enjoyable to read for the art alone! It's not super polished and has some rough edge qualities, but that's precisely why I like it!
5: Lucas Meyer
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Meyer is a newcomer in the scene of comics, but WOW! I am not immune to how gorgeous his art style is. I'm so happy that he's been named the ongoing artist for the current series! (Even if I can't get good writing, I'll at least take the nice art!) I think his style is so clean and pretty. I do wish that he went more "all-in" on expressions sometimes, as I do feel that his characters all look slightly generically pretty and don't emote particularly much. That said, the art is undeniably gorgeous, and he's already skyrocketed himself up onto my personal favorites list despite only starting with DC in 2022.
I do have a few honorable mentions as well, which include: Ivan Reis and George Perez.
There have been plenty of artists who did a great job, but these are my personal favorites! Thank you so much for the ask!

Takarazuka Revue Flower Troupe Top [Star] Yuzuka Rei Retirement Press Conference "I want to be an otokoyaku you could be convinced with before I graduate"
(Source from Daily Co)
Takarazuka Revue Flower Troupe Top [Star] Yuzuka Rei will retire next May and had her retirement press conference in Osaka city on 16th [of August].
Yuzuka appeared in all-white attire, with a pure white suit and white boots. She expressed concern, starting at first "Due to the typhoon, there have been great damages in some places, thank you for being assembled here in my retirement (press conference)."
Her intention of graduation came in February as she told the revue. The reason was "I was raised well in the Revue, and I received love from so many people, and since I've only known about Takarazuka Revue, and I am only thankful, and I also hope to stay that way [to know only about Takarazuka], but I want to meet myself from the outer world that I haven't known about yet."
Her partner Top Musumeyaku Hoshikaze Madoka also expressed [retirement] in March. She immediately replied that "If Yuzuka-san is not performing [in Takarazuka] anymore, please let me [retire] along with you," and therefore both will retire together.
Ever since entering the revue, she was raised in Flower Troupe. "I know nothing apart from Flower Troupe, so I have fond memories of Flower Troupe" and shows pride as a "Hanaotoko". She vowed that "Takarazuka is my everything. I felt that it was my youth. I will devote all of myself to Takarazuka before the graduation day."
Regarding after retirement, she said, "Now I am still in love with Takarazuka, so I don't have one in particular". On the other hand, "These 9 months before my graduation will be my most important and treasured time. Even though I don't know what waits for me after that, I want to continue being the otokoyaku Yuzuka Rei that is convincing" and expressed dedicating her everything to be such an otokoyaku.
As for the general question of “marriage”, she replied, “I would have worn a rubber band on my left ring finger, but I don’t have the courage (LOL). Of course, I’m available”, she replied cheekily with a smile.
Her graduation performance is "Arc en Ciel ~The Rainbow over Paris~" (Takarazuka Grand Theatre February 9 ~ March 24 2024; Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre April 13 ~ May 26)

Pre O'Darwin
Kasey shook his head. “I’m good, thanks.”
At that, Alex frowned slightly, moving on his feet. “Why not?” he asked softly. “We haven’t done something like this in forever.”
Kasey opened and closed his mouth a few times, watching Alex’s expectant smile falling in a frown. What could he say that wasn’t I can’t stand that girl being all over you?

When I grow up
“Jules,” Remus called, trying to mask his amusement by clearing his throat, “Tell Dad what you’re doing, buddy.”
The kid didn’t even look up from his toys, too focused. “Hafta get ready.”
“Oh yeah? And where are you going, champ?”
“With Rey. We goin’ to school tomorrow.”
Lyall’s heart was about to explode, and he had to lean on the doorframe and suppress the strangled noise coming from his chest. “Is that so? You’re going to college?”
“Yes.”
Lyall shared a look with Remus, both making a valiant effort not to laugh. He crossed his arms in mock concern. “You’re leaving Mom and I all alone at home?”
“Yes."
“Isn’t it a little early for college, buddy?”
“’s okay, Dada, I’ll be with Rey.”

He was interrupted by a hat entering the frame and hitting him right in the face, followed by various insults in French. Finn doubled and groaned, a hand going to his offended forehead as Alex watched the scene unimpressed.
He turned to the camera with a raised brow and shrugged. “As he was saying, with a spicy side.”

Just…just do what I asked you, yeah?
Remus patted the pocket of his vest, where two letters were secured. All that was left of the man. He hadn’t wanted to tell him his name. Easier for both of us, he’d said. Remus had died to insist, but he couldn’t. The man was already doing so much, by simply letting Remus inject what was a first try of the cure, a draft and nothing more, in his failing body.
A small smile, and warm eyes.
Call me Mars.
