ghostface suguru! ( @aurelianamu )
Tumblr media
In a dimly lit room, at around 10PM—it was a bit cold outside, the perfect weather to snuggle up and watch some movies. Romance movies? No, you did that last week. Action movie? Eh, you were not in the mood for that—oh, Scream. Your thumb presses on the movie before you put the remote control down and walk towards the kitchen to grab some snacks.
“Sugu, I picked a movie!” you announce as you make your way out of the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn and two drinks. Your husband marches down the stairs in a lazy manner, his long strands messily sticking out of his ponytail that he has to stop and tie it up again. He sees what movie you picked and he stands behind you on the couch.
“Scream?” he questions, hands resting on your shoulders.
“First movie, pretty iconic.”
“I don’t think it’s that scary though,” he doesn’t really say that he would rather watch something else, simply joins you on the couch and pulls you towards him with the bowl of popcorn resting on your lap.
The movie is indeed not that scary, you kept quoting some of the lines here and there, which earned you a chuckle from Suguru every time.
“No, please don’t kill me Mr. Ghostface I wanna be in the sequel,” you say in the same voice and attitude and your husband runs a hand through your hair.
“I think you’d easily outsmart him,” your husband is very supportive of you, but instead of making fun of his statement, your heart thrums in your chest when you picture Suguru in the ghostface mask.
“Really?” you look up at him through your eyelashes but Suguru is staring ahead and doesn’t notice the eyes you’re giving him.
“Yeah, they’re all pretty stupid—minus Sidney, I mean the fact that—“ your husband goes on a three minute ramble about the plot, how he appreciates the intelligence of the main character all while saying that the choice of the ghostface killers was nice. Unbeknownst to him, you were thinking of something else. Something far dirtier than intended.
“Baby,” you cut him off from his ramble and he hums in response.
“You’d be pretty hot as ghostface.” Suguru looks down on you when you say that and raises both eyebrows knowingly.
“Are you insinuating something?” To which you shrug your shoulders before staring back at the big screen in your living room, playing innocent.
“Just saying.”
You weren’t just saying, you knew exactly what you were doing. The next day, you’re sat on your bed folding laundry while watching the newest episode to your favorite podcast. You liked keeping your brain stimulated, and it distracted you from the fact that your husband was always gone for long hours during the day. But when you hear the keys rustling and the front door opening, you raise an eyebrow but don’t question it. Today’s mission must’ve been quick, you think to yourself.
“Welcome home!” you call out from your bedroom but don’t bother to get up, you knew he would come to your bedroom immediately so you keep your eyes on your computer and go back to folding the laundry.
A couple of minutes pass and Suguru doesn’t walk inside the bedroom, so you start getting a little suspicious and decide to go check on him.
“Sugu?” you walk out of the bedroom and notice how the lights downstairs are turned off. You remember leaving them on for him, so he must’ve turned them off on his way upstairs—but where was he?
“Baby, are you in the shower?” the lights in the bathroom were on but the door was closed. Suguru never walked to the bathroom first without greeting you—unless something was wrong. You put your hand on the door handle, but before you could twist the knob, a warm and rough hand covers your mouth and your blood runs cold when you’re being pulled into a different room.
You don’t have time to scream or panic, because when you’re being pinned to the wall by a rather familiar set of hands, your eyes almost bulge out of your skull when you notice the ghostface mask. You’re breathing heavily, cheeks flushed but there’s no sign of panic because you know who this is—the dragon tattoo peeking out of his shirt and the wedding band on his ring finger are enough evidence.
“Do you like scary movies?” Suguru’s voice sounds silky smooth, but the flirting connotation to it has your heart leaping out of your chest.
“Sugu—“
“Wrong,” he pins both hands above your head and his body is so close to yours that you feel the heat radiating off of it. “Let’s try again, I know my girl is smart.”
Your breath is caught in your throat, but you play along and nod sheepishly.
“Do you like scary movies?”
“Mhm,”
“What’s your favorite scary movie?” He traces a finger over your cheek, and the arousal slowly starts pooling between your legs.
“Hm, I don’t know,” you reply in a similar flirtatious tone, nervousness long gone. The realization that you didn’t have to explicitly tell your husband about the ghostface mask and him buying it for your pleasure made all of this very thrilling.
“You have to have a favorite, what comes to mind?”
“Hm, Halloween,” you stick to the same script of the movie, you buck your hips towards him but he pushes a knee between your legs and pins you again to the wall. “Y’know, the one with the guy with the white mask that walks around and stalks baby sitters?”
“Yeah,” Suguru breathes out and takes in how gorgeous you look like this—how he should’ve thought of doing this a long time ago. Your eyes were blown out with lust, chest heaving in excitement all while allowing him to play with you like this. He could feel his pants tighten and his cock was slowly getting hard from knowing exactly what was coming.
“What’s yours?” you bring him out of his thoughts and although you can’t see his face, you know that he was giving you that signature charming smile that always won over your heart.
“Guess.” He purrs out and you subconsciously start grinding against his knee before giving him a reply.
“Nightmare on Elm Street,”
“Wrong,” Suguru goes off script and your lips part for a moment. You’re about to complain, tell him that this wasn’t in the movie—he lets go of your wrists and throws you over his shoulder, delivering a harsh smack to your ass, his rough hand kneads the skin as he makes his way towards your bedroom.
“Better luck next time,” he throws you on the bed and you let out a gasp when your back hits the mattress. You try to sit up, but your husband grabs your ankles and pulls you down towards the end of the bed. “Now let’s see just how fucking filthy you are,”
He parts your legs with his big hands covering the plush skin of your thighs, and you whine out when he removes your shorts to reveal your panties that had an obvious wet patch on them.
“Fuuuck,” he breathes out and lifts up the mask enough for his mouth and nose to be visible. He presses his nose against your panties and takes a whiff of your arousal, the sight is obscene and your face turns red at how pussy drunk he sounds. “Fuck, fuck—should’ve done this sooner baby, you smell so fucking good,” he gives your pussy a kiss through the fabric of your panties before his fingers remove them so messily that you let out a startled noise.
Suguru dives in between your legs and the wet sounds are dirty and make you feel even more turned on. His tongue laps at your clit, fingers pulling the hood back before spitting on it and your eyes roll to the back of your head when he sucks. Two of his thick fingers prod at your entrance, gathering some of the slick that’s pooled there before pushing a single finger inside.
“Thaaaat’s it, good girl,” he breathes out against your clit before giving it a kiss as he pushes the second finger inside. “Yeah, this pussy loves being stuffed by me—fuck, you’re so wet for me. All because of this mask baby girl?” his tone is playful but you’re far too gone to complain and just mindlessly nod.
“So drunk off of me and I haven’t even given you my cock,” he pumps his fingers in and out of you all while curling them to find that one spot inside you. He licks, sucks and spits on your clit with so much passion and when he finds that one spot, you let him know pretty quickly.
“Oh!” you gasp and your thighs shake. “S-Suguru, oh fuck--!” his wrist is burning as he keeps pumping his fingers in and out of you, and the veins in his forearm are bulging out from the sheer strength he is using to finger fuck you until you see white. His free hand comes down and presses against your stomach to apply pressure and keep you pinned down.
You make the mistake of opening your eyes to stare at him. His hand is covered in your arousal, but what truly pushes you over the edge is the fact that his mask had come down and was covering his face entirely. So when he decides to talk you through it, give you that one final push—the ghostface mask seems to intensify the orgasm tenfold.
“I know you’re a good girl, but I’m gonna need you to get dirty for me baby—there it is, theeere it is,” he sounds proud when you finally cum, and you’re loud. You whine and let out soft cries, your hands weakly push at his arm when he keeps fingering you through your orgasm.
“Suguru—too much!” you cry out and gasp when he pulls his fingers out of your soaking pussy to slap your clit.
“Fuck, you’re gorgeous,” he quickly starts to unbuckle his belt and pushes his pants enough to free his cock. The tip nudges at your folds and your husband hovers over you with his lean stature. Big broad shoulders cover your entire frame and you’re fucked out from your previous orgasm.
“I’m going in baby, let me in,” your legs spread instinctively to welcome him inside of you and you groan when you feel the sheer size of him inside you. Your hands grip at the back of his shirt, but Suguru holds himself up on his forearms so that you look at his mask.
“Yeah, that’s right—look at me baby, filthy fucking girl,” his strokes were slow but hard. His hands grab at the back of your thighs and push them before fucking into you harder. “You like it, huh?” you couldn’t even give a proper response, only mindlessly nodding when you could feel him even deeper inside you.
He pushes your knees to your chest before setting a dizzying pace. You feel so full of him, so full of his thick cock and Suguru’s eyes roll to the back of his head behind his mask every time he felt your pussy squeeze around him. His finger rubs at your clit the same way that you’ve shown him you like it, and the tip of his cock repeatedly nudges against that one spot that has you falling apart underneath him with a loud cry.
Your orgasm hits you hard and Suguru can’t hold it in any longer—he fucks into you for another minute, head buried in your neck as he groans out your name. Your pussy milks him dry, and he fills you up to the brim—to the point where you could feel him leak out of you.
You lay there breathing heavily, and you weakly reach for the ghostface mask and remove it off of your husband to reveal his sweaty forehead and flushed cheeks. He looks gorgeous like that, and you lock eyes for the first time since the entire night and you’re immediately pulled in towards one another.
Suguru kisses you with so much passion, dick still buried deep inside you and your legs stay wrapped around him as you two make out heavily under your sheets that stuck to your sweaty bodies. You pull away for a moment to kiss his forehead and Suguru closes his eyes as he melts at your touch.
“Thank you for that,” you say, so love struck that the man can’t help but chuckle at how breathless you sound.
“Let’s do it again, yeah?”

even more owen carvour hcs because I’ve got brain worms or something
he got his ears pierced when he was younger, and even though he rarely wears them now, he’ll put studs in every now and then just so the holes won’t close up.
he’s a bit of an insomniac. sleep doesn’t come easy to him and he can spend hours just tossing and turning. half the time he’ll just give up and find something else to do- read a book, go over mission plans, sit at the window with a cigarette and watch the world go by.
a shakespeare snob through and through. he has a quote ready to go for every single situation possible and he doesn’t care how many eyes roll every time he whips one out.
he’s semi-decent at drawing. not the best, but he does have a sketchbook he uses in his downtime that he’ll draw whatever’s in front of him in.
he learnt how to hot wire cars when he was bumming around as a kid. every time he gets the chance to steal a car on a mission it’s like he’s 13 all over again, filled with the thrill of not getting caught.
he thinks mrs mega is maybe the best woman alive. her and her antics entertain him endlessly and he adores how much she loves curt. he hasn’t met her many times, but every time he gets the pleasure of staying at the safe house he finds himself wishing he had a mum like her.
he has a soft spot for barb. every time curt makes a mean passing remark about her he’ll smack him across the arm.
he’s thought about (more often than he’d like to admit) running away with curt. taking them both far from the danger and secrets and living life quietly as just the two of them. (and a cat. his fantasy definitely involves him being with curt and owning a cat. he has two hands for a reason!!)
he never got to meet tatiana before he was in his cunty villain era, but if curt and owen would have found her before the fall in their prime time I just KNOW that they would have been the ultimate team (I literally drew it hehe). owen and tati would have been bitchy best friends and I don’t even doubt it for a second.
he and curt have had so many “romantic” patching up sessions after missions. before they were officially together, there were so many uncertain gentle touches and lingering caresses where they both wish they could say and do more. the moments when there’s been some serious blood loss and things that would normally remain unsaid start slipping out are the moments when the two start realising that they might just feel the same way about each other. (I also literally wrote this hehe :P)
in a similarly trope-y way, there have been so many ‘Whoops! Only One Bed!’ situations. before they got together owen loved being able to sleep curled up right next to his crush (he hates the term ‘crush’ btw), and then after they got together it just gave him an excuse to spoon him all night long.
curt snores. owen hates it.
he can ride motorbikes and he can do it well. he loves when curt rides behind him and clings onto him with his arms around his waist. he drives extra fast to sate curt’s adrenaline junkie tendencies (and he loves the way curt laughs out of pure joy right next to his ear).
if he finds himself being tortured, as spies do, his go to is pretty much get so cocky and smarmy until it pisses off the torturer so much that owen can find an opportunity to overpower them and fight back. works like a charm.
once, he was captured and had his head forced underwater and was threatened with being drowned to death. the whole experience fucked him up for a good while.
regularly gets curt to light his cigarette for him while he’s holding it in his mouth.
every injury the fall gave him is a painful reminder of curt. even years down the line, every time a scar smarts or his knee plays up he’s filled with too many emotions to name.
he doesn’t actually remember a whole lot of the actual fall happening, it’s all very patchy, but he has vivid memories of curt’s horrified face getting further and further away from him as he got closer to the floor.
he learnt how to play an old family violin when he was a kid, and he’s gotten a little rusty over the years but he can still play a pretty tune on one.
he loves late night walks through cities. he thinks it’s the best way to really get to know a place. plus, it’s like he can hide in the shadows for a few hours and be someone other than owen carvour.
he’s a bit of a lightweight when it comes to booze. it doesn’t take many drinks to get him tipsy, and he’ll be full on drunk before you know it. curt can handle alcohol much better than him and has had to drag him away from bars more times than he can count.
he’ll frequently stop to fix curt’s tie and collar if they’re in disguise. everything needs to be perfectly in place or he thinks curt’ll look sloppy and give them away.
when they’re more into their relationship, owen starts buying in coffee to keep in his flat, and curt starts taking tea bags back to america with him every time he visits the uk.
spicy, be warned
post fall he tried sleeping with someone else but he could literally think of nothing but curt the entire time. he was never eager to try again.
if he’s in a submissive mood, he will go nuts if you call him a ‘good boy’. ‘my good boy’ is even better.
if he’s pent up he’ll just unashamedly jerk off in the shower whether he’s alone in there or not.
if he’s feeling particularly decadent and has the time, he’ll touch himself with a cigarette in his mouth and a bottle of wine in his hand.
shotgunning. he’ll take a drag and kiss it into curt’s mouth. they both think it’s hot as fuck.
if truth serum is something at their disposal, he's definitely used it during sex.

Lol your defending for GabiYui is really on point. I remember some watchers even said 'too bad Gabimaru's heart is stick on his wife, Sagiri is much prettier or hotter' or 'go for it Gabimaru, it's okay to have multiple wives'. Come on, are we now living in an era where a husband being loyal to his wife is something really weird? I need Gabimaru to show his ninjutsu to these people lol.
awww thank you! ofc I will defend GabiYui no matter what since this pair is so close to my heart and has actually inspired me to write better at romance (aside from the other characters from different fandoms I am in) and do my best in life (Nishinoya from Haikyuu is still my main drive but still)
now onto some big points of this ask hehe
re: "Sagiri is prettier than Yui" issue
Tumblr media
these two are absolute sisters your honor
I won't deny that sagiri is beautiful like I swear have you seen her and the way she fights back despite men looking down on her and how she swings her sword? plus episode 6 highlighted her being able to balance her emotions, making her gently kill rokurota. ugh perfection. chef's kiss. 1000/10 rating.
but ya know I don't get why people have to be like "Sagiri is way prettier and hotter but too bad Gabi is not in love with her" like what do you mean too bad? like ???? idk if it's just me but does gabimaru have to appreciate her being hot or what? plus ya know gabi is not into the appearance anyways. he even said in the latest episode (which is episode 7 as of this writing) that appearances really don't matter.
plus I don't get why people love comparing yui and sagiri's physical appearance against each other and saying "this girl is prettier" yada yada when they are both best girls with distinct beauty. in fact, there is an interview with Chainsaw Man author Tatsuki Fujimoto about Hell's Paradise author Yuji Kaku where he discussed about drawing female characters. according to Fujimoto-sensei, Kaku-sensei always drew his female characters beautifully in an aesthethic manner and his reason behind this is bcos "all girls are cute regardless so we must always draw them as cute girls" (not exact quote but you get what I mean) that's why Fujimoto-sensei added he has been trying to draw his female characters as cute as possible. so yeah both sagiri and yui are cute and pretty or whatnot. they just exhibit different vibes like sagiri has major main female chara vibes while yui is def softcore cottagecore vibes 🥰🥰🥰
besides, no matter what people say, yui will still be the most beautiful person in gabimaru's eyes. he even said so in both manga and episode 7.
Tumblr media
note: he used the word "utsukushii" for the term "beautiful" and in Japanese, using this term means you really find a person so beautiful inside and out that it moves you emotionally so the mere fact gabimaru described yui in this manner despite her telling him that she's ugly is something else 😭🥺💖
re: "it's okay for Gabimaru to take on multiple wives" issue
(THIS ONE WILL CONTAIN MAJOR MANGA SPOILERS AND OTHER CANON EVIDENCES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TRANSLATED OR MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO HANDS ON DUE TO LIMITED SOURCES)
here's MY NOT SO CONTROVERSIAL TAKE on this one bcos you all know my answer.
it is no doubt that gabimaru can take on multiple wives. after all, gantetsusai mentioned he has multiple wives across japan. plus their time period allows men to marry multiple women so people making this statement knows what they are saying.
HOWEVER!
I actually don't think gabimaru will engage in this sort of thing (see, I told you my opinion on this is not controversial hehe) and here's why.
we all know that osa (aka iwagakure village chief) killed gabimaru's parents and took gabimaru in, even to a point where gabimaru literally lives in the village chief's home like some sort of special treatment.
Tumblr media
however, I think one reason gabimaru got special treatment is bcos both of his parents are high-class shinobis (like jonin level) and ofc osa saw his potential that maybe "ah this kid might inherit his parents' ninja skills or something"
plus, osa doesn't have any sons to begin with bcos surprise surprise YUI HAS NEARLY 20 HALF SISTERS with her being the eighth daughter. and accdg to Kaku-sensei, there is a major possibility of yui and gabimaru meeting as children (but alas it is hard to tell since yui has so many sisters). and yes this is all mentioned in Jigokuraku Kaitai Shinsho (pls someone translate this huhu)
so when tsuki (the toasted marshmallow gabimaru that we know) became the 58th gabimaru by killing the 57th gabimaru, he was rewarded for his skills and intellect by marrying yui. but the thing is, it's a common talk among iwagakure ninjas that osa has been looking for a successor and bcos he doesn't have a son, the only choice is to have gabimaru marry into his family (which is common in Japan)
Tumblr media
fun fact: gabimaru actually doesn't know why he was married to yui though. he even thought maybe yui has some kind of secret ninjutsu or something. he tried to find out but this boy went home and when yui greeted him with a beaming smile, he was immediately overwhelmed with feelings that he forgot his own agenda 😭😭😭
so what's the point of all this? you see gabimaru has never realized why yui was so adamant abt this sense of normalcy and all that stuff until he finally learned the meaning behind her dream. after all, in iwagakure, when a man is born, he automatically has to be a ninja and a woman has to get pregnant and bear more children that will become ninjas. and if they die during training, then they'll be replaced by another batch of offsprings that will be ninjas or vessels for children.
in short: women in iwagakure are not only beaten, but also treated as baby-making factories (ofc some of them become kunoichis but most of them just become a housewife that takes care of dozen babies). doesn't matter how young or old. as long as you can get pregnant, then you go do your duty for iwagakure. hence why yui loathed this kind of set up and when she voiced out her want for normalcy, she paid the price by having her face scarred.
but what if a girl doesn't get pregnant? ahh then the guy will take another wife, get her pregnant, then process repeat and repeat. it's a cruel cycle that never ends.
in osa's case, it took him like so long before finally accepting his wives cannot give him a son. and in my own opinion, these things can influence gabimaru into not having a harem marriage in the first place. like imagine marrying multiple women just for the sake of a duty.
besides, given how bad he's down for yui, I don't think he would want another woman other than her. like srsly gabimaru has so much respect for her and having a harem marriage would defeat every single thing he and yui are fighting for.
after all, gabimaru hates the idea of women being treated as broodmares. remember, his wife has been "marked" for the same reason. like he really abhors the idea and there are theories of yui being possibly pressured into having children with gabimaru and tbh it all boils down into this canon evidence from the manga.
Tumblr media
plus I hate it when people normalize cheating like "gabi might cheat with sagiri" or something like srsly? I thought we were all past NTR and all that stuff? if you are into NTR kinks, there are various media forms that can cater to that and sadly, Hell's Paradise is not the medium for NTR as much as these people want it to be.
that's all for today, folks.

Incorrect Kaesoka quotes cause they're funny
Kaeden, at Ahsoka's Funeral: I need a moment with her. Other rebels: of course.*they leave* Kaeden, leaning over Ahsoka's coffin: okay, listen here you little shit, I know you're not dead Ahsoka: yeah, no shit.
. . .
*Ahsoka falls over* Kaeden: Ahsoka! Are you alright? Ahsoka: Is that you, God? Kaeden: What? Ahsoka: It's just, you sound a lot more like Kaeden than I expected.
. . .
Ahsoka: Caffeine no longer keeps me awake while I work, so instead I have Kaeden periodically send me texts saying ‘we need to talk.’ Ahsoka: It gives me the right amount of adrenaline and fear I need to keep going.
Ahsoka: Do you want to know your gay name? Kaeden: My... my gay name? Ahsoka: Yeah, it's your first name- Kaeden: Haha. Very funny Ahsoka- Ahsoka: *gets down on one knee* And my last name. Kaeden: Oh- oh my god.
. . .
Ahsoka: Did you know you remind me of all 26 letters of the alphabet? Kaeden: What? Like J F K W S Q X- Ahsoka: No, like, U R A Q T. Kaeden: Awwww!
. . .
Kaeden: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake. Ahsoka: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear. Kaeden: ... Kaeden: You mean ring bearER, right? Ahsoka: ... Kaeden: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding. (Not part of quote: Ahsoka gave an Akul buddy the ring bearer duty I decided)
. . .
Kaeden: I’ve been dropping them the most insanely obvious hints for like a year now. No response. Ahsoka: Wow. They sound stupid.Kaeden: But they’re not. They’re really smart actually. Just dense. Ahsoka: Maybe you need to be more obvious? Like, I don’t know… “Hey! I love you!” Kaeden: I guess you’re right. Hey Ahsoka, I love you. Ahsoka: See! Just say that! Kaeden: Holy fucking shit. Ahsoka: If that flies over their head then, sorry Kaeden, but they're too dumb for you. Kaeden: Ahsoka.
. . .
Kaeden: Hey, Ahsoka, what do you think it would be like if we had kids? Ahsoka: What would it be like? Inconvenient, mostly. Kaeden: No, I mean, what would they be like, the kids? You ever think about it? Ahsoka: Can't really say I have. Kaeden: You know, for someone as eccentric as yourself, you can be boring as fuck sometimes. Ahsoka: Sorry, Kaeden. For what it's worth, I'm picturing them now. A boy and a girl. Two perfect little freaks of nature raised by people who've clearly got no business bringin' up anybody.
. . .
Ahsoka: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at Storm troopers" and I think that's very sexy of us. Kaeden: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both.
. . .
Kaeden: We’re getting married, bitches! Ahsoka: And we're about to make it everybody else's problem. (Not part of quote: i wrote a short fic that was basically this quote last year, hehe, it's funny)
. . .
Kaeden: My future partner must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful and organized. Ahsoka: *steps on a caterpillar and proceeds to drop to their knees and sob while apologizing profusely* Kaeden: That one. I want that one.
. . .
*about the darth Vader Anakin connection* Ahsoka: I think I just figured something out. I got to go. Kaeden: Aren't you forgetting something? Ahsoka: Uuh...*hesitantly kisses Kaeden's forehead before running out.* Kaeden: No, pay your bill! Damn, who raised you?
. . .
Miara: I know you love them. Kaeden: I am not in love with Ahsoka! Miara, staring at Kaeden: I never said who... Kaeden: *realizes* Kaeden: Shit. Well, anyways-
. . .
Kaeden, holding a rock: Ahsoka just gave this to me and said "I feel like you deserve the moon but all I can give you is a rock". Miara: If you don't marry her, I will.
. . .
Miara: Do you mind if I slyly mention that you’re single? Ahsoka: Do not do that. Miara: You won’t even notice! Kaeden, entering: Mira, you wanted to see me again? Miara: Ahsoka's single Ahsoka:
. . .
Miara: I dare you to kiss the next person who walks into this room. Kaeden: Screw that, I’m not kissing any of you. *Ahsoka walks in* Kaeden: Fine, I’ll do it. Rules are rules you know.
. . .
Kaeden: Hi. Miara: Hey, did you do what I said? Did you tell her? Kaeden: I did. Miara: And what did she say? Kaeden: “Thank you.” Miara: You’re totally welcome. What’d she say? Kaeden: she said, “Thank you.” I said “I love you” and Ahsoka said, “Thank you.”
. . .
Ahsoka: Someone take me to art museums and make out with me. Kaeden: But they said not to touch the masterpieces. Ahsoka: Well somebody's got to pin the artwork to the wall. Miara, on a walkie talkie: This is Miara, those idiots are fucking around in the East wing again.
. . .
Ahsoka: Due to personal reasons, I will be fucking sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a large metal box. Miara: Did Kaeden say 'I love you' and you said 'Thanks'? Ahsoka: THE REASONS ARE PERSONAL–
This was fun! I'm doing more tomorrow, nobody can stop me!

questions.. I love qiestions
If it's an MC, did they get to the Devildom in the usual way or were they already aware of it? How do they interact with the demons? What's their first impression upon arriving in the Devildom? Basics about their personality like are they outgoing or shy? Something specific about them, like if they have a phobia or a special power, etc.
OKAY I'm going to do a very very short description of him- he's m- jk
he wasn't chosen for the program at first. He was, mistakenly brought to the devildom. a tiny error lol. the original exchange student (Pari) was summoned a few minutes after and then they deal with the terrified wet injured cat™ smth smth later they decided that he will be staying too until they find a safe place for him in the human world.
and plans changed after Leviathan almost amputated his hand :"
and that's why he lives in the HOL.( always annoyed me how mc lives with the demon brothers instead of other exchange students lol no idc about canon)
he was running from his old abusers when he, being the magic magent he was, was summoned to the devildom. he didn'vknow wether he died by his abusers, or was saved, or a secret third thing. yep he was silent and dissociated in the first week. hehe trauma
he was very wary of his surroundings at the start, but slowly got more comfortable around the cast, minus Levi, Mammon and Simeon. he hates how Mammon doesn't respect his privacy and Levi makes him too overwhelmed. Simeon on the other hand? he's scary to him. kinda funny from someone who's friend is Barbatos lol
and now about his weird power,,
And what does Barbatos do once he figures out that Sharo has the same power as him? I mean, he's gotta be curious I bet he doesn't run into that ever.
I hope Barbatos tells him about it so that Sharo realizes the truth about what's happening. I suspect that'd be kind of a relief to finally understand why he's having those visions and things.
Barbatos realizes it pretty early in the castle tour, but keeps it hidden for the next three-four years. in that time only Diavolo, Lucifer, Simeon and Solomon knew about it.
I mean he didn't really think it was necessary for Sharo to know. it was better that he thought they were hallucinations - such power can destroy a human's brain and soul. not to mention his power was.. "illegal" (for the lack of a better word) and he was too weak at that time to fight against the higher ups.*
and it was Sharo who brought it up first. — "I feel like I can change the future. it, it just doesn't make sense you know-" — and then he understood what he was. that time he had powerful magic. with power of the seven strongest demons in the universe and the ring of light on his side, so it was safe for him to know. he was still very weak in this ability of his, so Barbatos decides to take him under his wing and teach him how to control it.
The fact you've got human in quotes makes me think Sharo must not be fully human? Is this at all related to Lilith's angel DNA or is it something different?
he isn't lilith's descendant! Lilith didn' have any children when she was a human, since his corrupted angel DNA just.. killed any baby she tried to have. sad ending😅 (nw she comes back but this isn't important) he is something else.*
*they both are too complicated to put here- I've written them, but it will turn this already long message to a 5000+ word non-sense lmao
this is the first time i'm publicly talking abt this marysue bastard I feel embarrassed :((
Okay, first of all, please don't feel embarrassed. My blog is always a safe space for all MC and OC ideas, Mary Sue or otherwise!
I think it's pretty normal for MCs to have their own extra powers and such like! I mean, the generic OM MC is already totally OP so.
Anyway, this all sounds really interesting to me!
So he wasn't even meant to be there! Oops! What happens with the other exchange student? Do they become friends or is it more like they avoid him?
Ahh oh no trauma. Well okay and I get the thing with Mammon, that guy is always bursting in unannounced! Simeon made me laugh, but he's also different from Barbatos imo. They both hide their true feelings, but Simeon acts like he doesn't while Barb doesn't act like he isn't hiding stuff. Like Simeon is the one going "Oh, what, I'm not hiding anything." and Barb is like "Yes, I am not telling you everything. It is for your own good." lol I love them both, but I would understand why that difference might make him uncomfortable!
Okay okay, so knowing about his power might actually be worse than believing he was having hallucinations... I was thinking I would want to know if I was experiencing something like that and everybody made me think it was just my brain malfunctioning when really it was magic. Though if it's problematic magic, then I see why it could be better to not know! I'm still glad he figures it out though lol.
And Barbatos doesn't leave him hanging! I love that he's like okay well now that you're aware, I will teach you the ways! Barb won't let him flounder!
Oh no! Lilith is childless? Then how does that change things for Lesson 16? Since the only reason MC could free Belphie was because they had Lilith's DNA? Or did that not happen at all in your story?

I felt like doing this one first if that's okay !! I felt like I'd get this one done faster because this request has only one character! I hope it's okay with you that I switched the requests around?
Also I sort of made this as 'how you and Bain met then became a thing'??? Bc u didn't exactly specify so I thought this would be cute !!
Bain with his crush
- Uhm okay so I feel like y'all would be more like a slow burn???
- Bain needs to trust someone before he does ANYTHING romantic so you better be okay playing the long game
- It's okay, it's worth it tbh... he's worth it :)
- Anyways, I think he just hired you because of your skill set rather than anything else
- I mean he thinks you're worthy of being a part of the gang if that counts for anything
- He really appreciates the way you fit in the group nicely, and sort of compliment others skills whilst holding your own
- He's glad he picked you :)
- I think the only time you have to talk to him at all is on stealth missions because then you have more time to be calm and quiet?
- It'd probably start with him leading you through a simple mission, just the two of you hehe
- 'Alright, place the ecm on the door there, and..... bingo!'
- You find him to be pretty cool to hang out with once you're in a more chill place
- On your first stealth mission/tutorial, you exchange thoughts and have a pretty good conversation!
- Obviously he doesn't say anything about himself, if anything he keeps closed whilst asking things about you!
- (He probably already knows a lot about you because he hired you, but the research doesn't say stuff like your favourite colour and hobbies)
- He just asks stuff to keep the conversation going, but he secretly likes to hear about it
- He likes making sure that his heisters are doing well, so this little stealth mission is sort of a checkup too?
- If you feel like they (the gang) don't like you or something, he's quick to reassure you
- 'Oh, they just don't take kindly to anyone new at first. Give it time, they'll grow to like you. We're kind of like a family, a growing one at that.'
- If you had any anxieties about being new, you don't now because he's there to help you out
- 'Don't worry, alright? Everyone else - even Dallas - felt nervous about being in this gang. Once you show them how good you are? You'll fit in.'
- He's a real one fr we love him
- Okay anyway so we skip forward and you're pretty close with everyone
- I can't really explain how it happened, but Bain kinda maybe likes you more than he probably should
- I mean, he's your boss technically, so he does feel like this is wrong
- Like... he's your superior so-
- Plus he's like.... 'why would you like me lol I'm like... so mid and old'
- There's definitely some unspoken romance between y'all that everyone else sees but doesn't comment on because they don't want to be whacked by you/Bain
- Neither of you guys admit it, but you both really like each other
- (OH WAIT I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING REALLY CUTE HOLD ON)
- (IT'S CUTE I'LL MENTION IT IN A MINUTE)
- Okay anyway, I think y'all definitely act differently on the rare occasion when you are in a stealth heist together and it's just you and him
- The two of y'all talk, and talk, and talk some more
- It's clear you both care for each other a lot
- I think at one point he decides to tell you about his feelings because Dallas told him to 'do it no balls' (not a direct quote from him)
- So you're in the process of carrying some loot back in silence, when he decides to tell you
- His heart is pounding 😬
- (Please forgive me for how bad I am at charactisation)
- 'Hey... so.....'
- SAY IT BAIN SAY IT
- 'So.....'
- I BELIEVE IN YOU GIRL
- 'Uhhh.... nevermind.'
- NOOOOO
- Okay... maybe you can come in clutch this time? (please)
- 'Uh... okay...?'
- OML PLEASE JUST DO IT FOR HIM HE IS JUST A LITTLE SHY I PROMISE
- 'Hey, so I kind of have something to tell you?'
- YES DO IT SAY IT
- 'I know this probably isn't allowed, but I think uh... I like you. In a non-platonic way.'
- YYYYYYYESSSSSSSSS THANK YOU
- Bain takes a moment to breathe bc OMG OMG
- Unironically has to-
- WAIT OH GOD HELP I'M LOST ON THE BUS WAIT OH GOD
- Sorry, I got lost on my bus mb cuz
- ANYWAY, BAIN HAS TO CUT HIS MIC FOR SEVERAL SECONDS
- I AM NOT JOKING WHEN I SAY HE GOT OFF HIS SEAT, PUNCHED THE AIR AND WENT 'YES!'
- He then returned to his seat and turned his mic on
- '....Bain? You uh.... I think your mic cut off.'
- 'Oh- um... right... yeah. Something like that.'
- (It was nothing like that)
- 'So... you like me.'
- He is genuinely confused because like.... he could be rlly ugly or something (he's not) and yet you still like him???
- '.....yeeeep. Uh.... so what do you think? About that.'
- 'I know exactly how I feel about that. About you.'
- OOP BAIN THE RIZZ MASTER SLAY
- '....wait I'm really dumb does that mean you like me or-'
- He sighs (bro how are you so STUPI-)
- 'Let's just say, if we were next to each other.... well... I've always wanted to know what your lips feel like.' (I'm really bad at flirting sorry)
- HE'S TALKING ABOUT KISSING YOU HE WANTS YOU SO BAD
- 'Oh... OH-' (you finally getting it)
- Anyhow, y'all defo be smooching in a metaphorical sense?
- Yeah, y'all are cute ok.... OKAY THAT ALL I CAN DO SORRY FOR THE WAIT MY GUY AAAAAAAA-

How would you fit Vex into AoA AU, given rangers, even beastmaster rangers, arent so magical? Is she soneone pushed to the fringes (esp with Syngornian bullshit) or is she smth else entirely in this AU? Or does the more whackadoo magic of the era mean she's a superpowered magical beastmaster?
Holds up The Champion of the Matron of Ravens, Purvan Suul himself!
So I think this applies to Vex and Vax both, and I haven't thought about their background nearly as much as I should have. Hm... Well, in canon, the Matron of Ravens was originally a follower of the god of death before usurping them, given their (I quote Matt in Duskmeadow) 'tyrannical position of death and afterlife and souls'. My take on the twins is that they were followers of this god (potentially something cultural from Elaina?), except their ritual was not constructed with the intent of taking his place but just. Fucking fixing things. Making death just, and natural, and there's something in there about thinking Elaina's death was not supposed to happen and trying to reverse it.
The thing is, neither of them are great arcane practitioners. Not even high-level divine casters - definitely nothing to rival the knowledge and skill of the Raven Queen. So I figure their ritual goes completely sideways, in a way they don't understand an can't replicate, which results in Vax becoming the new god of death (potentially vulnerable, though, given the less precise manner of his ascension) and Vex being left alone and... just through how much she loves and trusts and believes in her brother being his Champion. They don't see him as her superior, she's still his twin and is trying to unfuck this mess.
I'm working backwards to your question proper, pfft: so yes, Vex is really just a Beastmaster, like Purvan Suul is implied to be (Purvan is his own can of worms, hehe). I think Purvan being a ranger is very interesting in itself, being that the Raven Queen positions her rule over death as a more accepting one, just part of how the world works, and rangers are nothing if not attunes to nature and the balance of life and death in a human context (as opposed to druids who lean more towards nature).
I think they, and Elaina, lived in one of the grounded cities (Potentially Gau Drashari? If I want Vax and Keyleth to have known eachother before his ascension). Syldor was definitely from some flying city, or one that could be hidden, or otherwise just classic mage hubris. Took on the two bastards when he thought they might have a lick of his magical aptitude, but neither were really cut out for it.
All the flying cities and magocracies are very much beyond Vex's depth, though she tries to use what she learned from her father to survive and get what she needs. But she heavily relies on Percy for this - both of them being very low-magic in a high-magic world will be very fun to explore!

Anonymous asked: Hi! I would like to request a headcannon about how would the akyr kids and the parents would react to hokusai having a very gentle and shy s/o who is inside a bit devil hehe ~ thank you so much!
Writer's corner: Hi, dear! So sorry I didn't understand what you meant by "akyr kids and the parents" immediately! Thank you again for clarifying and I really hope you'll enjoy what I've written! If not, please feel free to tell me and to ask for something else so I can write another one for you! Also I'll make it gn!, hope it's fine! (if not, please tell me so I can change it for you~) Enjoy~
Warnings: none except for some bad words... thank Satsuki for speaking roughly XD
⋆𝐻𝑜𝓀𝓊𝓈𝒶𝒾⋆ 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝒶 𝓈𝒽𝓎 𝒷𝓊𝓉 𝒹𝑒𝓋𝒾𝓁 𝑔𝓃!𝓈/𝑜 (𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝒶𝓀𝓎𝓇 𝓀𝒾𝒹𝓈 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓅𝒶𝓇𝑒𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓌𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝓇𝑒𝒶𝒸𝓉)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
⋆Well.. Iori is such a father to the other members.
⋆He's the one who lead Akan Yatsura and the one who decided to house the other AKYR's members.
⋆Iori always shows himself as a cheerful and happy man but he actually hides his own true feelings and emotions behind that smile of his.
⋆Actually he worries a lot about his family- which consists of the other AKYR- and cares about their happiness and lives.
⋆That's why I totally see him being so happy of knowing that Hokusai has finally found the love of his life!
⋆Or.. At least at first.
⋆Yes, because I think he'd soon turn to be quite worried about Hokusai.
⋆That person is so... uhm... strange.
⋆I feel like Hokusai would finally bring his s/o home only to introduce them to the others.
⋆They would be welcomed by Iori who'd be quite happy to finally meet Hokusai's s/o at first.
⋆Iori would totally invite Hokusai's s/o to join them at Club CANDY too, in my opinion.
⋆"I'd have wanted to welcome you both at Club CANDY but today it's closed.. Well.. Feel free to reach us there, though!"
⋆At first Iori would surely be the best at making s/o laugh, telling jokes and trying to keep everyone happy.
⋆In short he'd be completely hospitable.
⋆After some time he'd realize that there's something wrong with s/o..
⋆They.. well.. they don't seem as nice as they looked before.
⋆I also feel like he'd try to talk to Hokusai about it.
⋆I mean.. Iori cares about his family so.. he'd totally be worried a lot and try to talk about it with Hokusai, maybe even telling him that he doesn't like them.
⋆"Hokusai.. What do you like of s/o..? Their kindness?!- Are you sure they're as kind as you think?!"
⋆Of course Hokusai would answer that maybe it's only Iori's presentiment and say that s/o is shy and gentle actually.
⋆I know for sure that everyone in AKYR would realize s/o's true nature, except for Hokusai.
⋆Also, I don't know why, but I headcanon that s/o would do some bad stuff on purpose but pretending to do it by mistake.
⋆That's how Iori would realize their actual nature.
⋆"I'm sooo sorry..! I didn't want to pour all that soup onto your yukata, Suiseki-san~!"
⋆"Don't worry about it, s/o..."
⋆That's when Iori would start to be afraid of losing Hokusai..
⋆If Hokusai doesn't discover their double face, then he'd be fooled and even decide to go with them!
⋆But I think that s/o would stop being so devil with AKYR and even become a new member!
⋆AKYR would become unstoppable if they had a member like s/o!!
⋆So let's just say that as long as s/o's devil side does not intervene against Hokusai himself, then Iori would be happy.
⋆I feel like Iori would totally talk to s/o when they get alone for some minutes in a room before reaching the others and tell them:
⋆"I don't care if you play pranks to me.. But don't you dare to treat Hokusai bad.. Or 𝓎𝑜𝓊'𝓁𝓁 𝓇𝑒𝑔𝓇𝑒𝓉 𝒾𝓉!..."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⋆Zen seems such a mum to me..
⋆Like, really.. his quote is "I will guide you to the right direction"!
⋆Also it's said that he's the one who keeps AKYR in order, so.. yeah. He's a mum. You can't change my mind.
⋆Also he's from a Rakugo family (a story-teller family), soo...
⋆I think he'd be the one to tell stories during his first meeting with Hokusai's s/o.
⋆Zen would surely be the happiest man after knowing that Hokusai got in a relationship and is happy with someone.
⋆He'd so excited to finally meet them in person!
⋆"Oohh! They are going to have lunch with us today?! I can't wait to meet them!!"
⋆Also I think he'd welcome Hokusai and his s/o kindly, since he's such the good giant of AKYR.
⋆"Hii!! Welcome!! You must be s/o! I couldn't wait to meet you!"
⋆Zen would be nice and kind with s/o, asking them to talk to him about themselves, because he'd like to know more.
⋆But on the other hand I think he wouldn't realize immediately that s/o is a little bit devil.
⋆That's because it's said that he can't really read the atmosphere around very well.
⋆So he'd need more time to finally realize that Hokusai is in a relationship with such a double-faced person.
⋆In my opinion he'd try then to understand if they have the intention to hurt them all or not.
⋆He'd keep behaving kindly to s/o and secretly trying to get as many informations as he can about them.
⋆After all... he's an ex-police officer!
⋆I think he'd start focusing more on s/o after talking with Iori.
⋆"Do you really think they are that mean?... uhm... Alright.. I'll do what I can about it."
⋆Besides I feel like Zen would try to talk to Hokusai too.
⋆He'd care about that cats-lover and try hard to explain, softly because Zen is adorable and I don't think he'd like to hurt Hokusai's feelings, that s/o is actually such a devil person, who loves to hurt others.
⋆Of course Zen would be the one to be fooled by s/o's shy expression on the first day they met!
⋆They would show up so shy and gentle that Zen would have never thought even only a bad thing about them!
⋆I totally think Zen would be the only one to say compliments about them after they leave.
⋆"They are such a great person!!"
⋆Maybe while Reo, Satsuki and Iori are exchanging some afraid and concerned looks among themselves.
⋆Also I think Zen would be totally fine with them dating Hokusai as long as the cats-lover is happy.
⋆As I said for Iori, then, I feel like he'd beat s/o only if they hurt Hokusai.
⋆He can do judo, so... be careful~
⋆"If Hokusai is dating you, then it's because he has seen something in you.. 𝐻𝑜𝓅𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊'𝓁𝓁 𝓂𝒶𝓃𝒶𝑔𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝓀𝑒𝑒𝓅 𝒽𝒾𝓂 𝒽𝒶𝓅𝓅𝓎, 𝑜𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇𝓌𝒾𝓈𝑒……"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⋆HE. WOULD. TOTALLY. UNDERSTAND. IT. IMMEDIATELY.
⋆You can't convince me otherwise!
⋆Since he acts tough and speaks even roughly, I think he'd be the first one not to get along with s/o.
⋆Hokusai's s/o would surely tell him bad stuff secretly or try to show the others that Satsuki is actually the one who's bothering them.
⋆"What?!?! I didn't do anything!!"
⋆S/o would end up being the victim and Satsuki the one who likes to bother them heavily.
⋆Who knows?
⋆Maybe s/o would even pretend to cry to make the situation realistic?
⋆Who knows how devil they could be?
⋆I feel like Satsuki would be the one made fun of by s/o, secretly.
⋆Like I'm actually imagining him lying on his bed, reading some of those magazines he usually reads, maybe also chilling..
⋆After that s/o would surely enter his room only to bother him a lot.
⋆"Damn, s/o!!! Get the fuck out!!!"
⋆I totally can see Satsuki talking to Reo about this.
⋆He'd be furious and stop his "lil brother" only to tell him about what had happened.
⋆Even if Reo and Satsuki are usually arguing, of course they love each other like if they were actual brothers.
⋆It's said that they even play video-games together, after all!
⋆So I think he'd be the one to notice immediately that there's something wrong with Hokusai's s/o.
⋆That's when he'd start investigating with Reo and Zen.
⋆I totally can imagine them behind a corner, spying s/o while they're just chilling with Hokusai and his cats.
⋆"Hmm... Let's keep an eye on them. I promise there's something wrong with them!"
⋆As well as the others Satsuki would care a lot about Hokusai and would be worried about him and the fact that his s/o is actually devil.
⋆But, on the other hand, I think he'd start to get along with them, especially if they demonstrate him to be even a great fighter.
⋆"Damn! You got guts!! You broke their ass!!"
⋆That's when he'd start to even admire Hokusai's s/o.
⋆He'd even start to think about them as a new member! Why not?
⋆As Iori, Satsuki would think that they would be such a good new member and start teasing them.
⋆"I'm not afraid of you, s/o. I'm not afraid of anyone! No matter who my opponent is.. 𝒾𝓉 𝒸𝑜𝓊𝓁𝒹 𝒷𝑒 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊, but I'll knock them down!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⋆I don't think Reo would notice Hokusai's s/o other side immediately as Satsuki would.
⋆Generally Reo is friendly and nice, always trying to get others' attention and I personally think it wouldn't be difficult to become his friends.
⋆He likes playing games too, so he's such a free spirit in AKYR, the one who doesn't really hide his emotions.
⋆That's why I can't stop thinking that he'd try to make friend with Hokusai's s/o when he met them.
⋆"Hiiiii!!!!! How are youuu?? You like chocolate???!!! Me toooo!!! We have so many things in common!! We can be friendsss~!!"
⋆I totally see Reo being the happiest AKYR member when he knows that Hokusai is going to introduce his s/o to the family.
⋆He'd be sooo happy!!
⋆Reo would surely be the one to keep talking to s/o about video-games and other things.
⋆And, I don't know why, but I've just imagined Hokusai's s/o being also a little bit annoyed by Reo, who's constantly talking about stupid things.
⋆As I said before for the others I think Reo would start seriously to think about s/o's double face after talking with Satsuki.
⋆At first he wouldn't believe him, maybe he'd even make fun of him and annoy Satsuki, but after some time he'd get what that guy means.
⋆Maybe after hiding under Satsuki's bed and see with his own eyes that Hokusai's s/o is bothering him.
⋆That's when he'd get out of under that bed and tell Satsuki he believes him.
⋆"S/o-chan/kun are so meeeeeannn!!..."
⋆So, as i said before, I totally can see him with Zen and Satsuki behind a corner, spying s/o because they all want to see if they are mean to Hokusai too.
⋆If they are, well.. then they'll pay for it~
⋆If not, well.. then the important thing is that Hokusai is happy!
⋆And he really shows to be happy with them.. Aw.
⋆Also I feel like Reo would change his mind about s/o after seeing them chilling with Hokusai and his cats.
⋆Maybe Reo would see how gentle and kind s/o is with Hokusai, maybe they'd sit on his lap, caressing his hair while they both are surrounded by plenty of cats.
⋆It'd be a soft and cute view and Reo would just smile, along with Zen and Satsuki.
⋆After they all manage to get along, I think it wouldn't be that bad to see Hokusai's s/o frequently.
⋆I think Reo would enjoy also to bother them a lot~
⋆And also manage to push them onto work for him, since it's said that he's sleek at it!
⋆"Oii, s/o!! I've got a fever- 𝒞𝒶𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒸𝓁𝑒𝒶𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒹𝒾𝓈𝒽𝑒𝓈 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝓂𝑒~?"

Akajsjjdhajja you're taking prompts!!!
I'm here with Fenders (shocked?) and the Anders themed list, Florence and the Machines #1. Happiness is uneventful. I couldn't post the whole quote on mobile, I'm too incompetent lmao.
Happy DADWc!
Hehe thank you so much!!!!!!! Ok so I MESSED UP and started writing the wrong thing, you're gonna get another one in just a sec.
The quote I thought you meant is "And I never wanted anything from you, except everything you had, and what was left after that too"
(I realise now you meant another one. Two cakes?)
If you want me to write a Dragon Age fic for you, send me a prompt!
Pairing: Fenders
Characters: Fenris, Anders
Tags: post-boom, angst, figuring stuff out
Rating: Mature
It's been three days. Fenris has been...almost entirely silent, speaking only to direct Anders - his bad knee, blind grief and uncomfortably silent Justice - away from some unforeseen trip hazard, or onto more stable footing as they make their way up into the Vimmarks. Anders doesn't know how much more silence he can take. (It's been a month by now. Surely they can't mean to keep him longer still?) Anders sets camp, taking time to set what wards he can think of: standard tripwires and anti-magic spells. Fenris does his own patrolling, though he doesn't say as much, muttering something about firewood. By the time Anders is done with his spellcraft, a small fire is already crackling in a little ring of soil-covered pebbles, snapping at the darkening sky.
Fenris gets up when Anders approaches, moving to his bedroll. Anders' voices gets caught in his throat, but he is not able to stop his hand from reaching to bridge the darkness between him and his one-time lover.
Fenris stops, and his white hair and lyrium are almost luminescent in the twilight. For a long, long moment silence stretches between them - filled only the sound of the mountains at night. The howling, mournful wind. A lone owl setting out in search of her prey. The trees, sighing their aches to the sky.
"What is it?" Fenris isn't looking at him. Hasn't done since -
Anders' voice is still trapped in his throat. His fingers curl, aching a little over where they were broken once (more than once, a long time ago). He shakes his head, looks down at his feet. "No, sorry, it's nothing."
Fenris lets out a sigh, explosive in the quiet, and steps closer. Anders watches his bare feet tread through the grass and scree, always amazed at how quietly he manages to move - even up here, where the ground crunches its discomfort at every footstep.
"Is something wrong, mage?"
"You used to call me Anders." He speaks without thinking, and regrets it when he does, watching a muscle in the corn of Fenris jaw twitch as he presses his lips tightly shut and slowly uncurls his gauntleted fingers at his sides. Anders' mouth as he breathes is full of the taste of woodsmoke.
Fenris shakes his head, and there's half an angry smile on his face when he lifts his eyes to meet Anders' gaze for the first time in - Maker, how long has it been?
Fenris' eyes are brilliant as emeralds in the dark, and they glitter with a tired kind of humour. "What do you want of me, m-," He stops, sighs, bares his teeth. "Anders"
"I- nothing." It's so cold.
Fenris looks away from him, down toward the tree covered slopes, shrouded in evergreens like a skirt billowing in ripples around the mountains. "I do not know what else I can give you." When he speaks, Fenris does so quietly.
"I never -"
"You did!" Fenris' voice echoes off the mountain slopes, and his chest heaves with the speed of his breath. Anders cringes, and Fenris leans away from him like an archer's bow releasing. "You never stopped. You never stopped asking for everything, from all of us, until finally you asked so much that -" Fenris stops, bites off the end of the sentence, and turns away from Anders entirely. "We both need sleep."
He walks away before Anders can reply. In Anders' mind, Justice's silence is one long howl of grief.

Alright I only have one thing to say Sahar. Thank you. Thank you so much for invisible thread and for literary just existing. I cannot explain properly I words how amazing this fic is. You don't even deserve words you deserve poems darling.
One of the things that stood out to me the most was how you represented reader's PTSD because of her mother. As a person who went through a very similar experience (and I do have PTSD yay) this is detailed correctly to the last word. The way you explained reader's guilt properly and her not feeling upset even though her mom died is a very real thing that I have seen happen to me and some of the people around me who've gone through similar experiences. I don't why I'm so fixated on these amazing descriptions but maybe it's because it's not often that I see these things portrayed correctly in media, even in books. Ma'am I will pay you to become an actual author.
I also noticed the way you wrote Y/N's hesitance to love again which was very beautifully conveyed in the first paragraphs. It's like we've known loneliness and desperation for so long that it's the only feeling we have and we accept that it is our destiny. But then Minho steps in and Y/N just feels something else. Something other than loneliness and longing for people to love her. She finally feels proper love and she receives it too. And that's just so comforting.
The colour thing omg I will ramble about this and no one can stop me! It was so painfully beautiful, and I mean that in a good way. Minho's little breakdown and Y/N just straight up feeling guilty is just so.... I can't explain this emotion (143 I love you hehe). It's almost like this is what is a good relationship when you and your partner both are dependent on each other for support both mental and literally everything else. And Minho also feeling guilty that he broke down? It's almost like this one quote I made in 9th grade and I recently also read on the internet "We may be going to Hell, but we know that we have held Heaven in our arms."
One of the reasons I feel like why this story is so comforting is because it portrays love, not as all roses and Cupids but as actual human love. It portrays love in laughter, in the little inside habits we have, in just sitting in silence knowing that we are fluent in it, in baking cakes, in remembering details, in risking everything to get something the other wants and most importantly, in finding solace in one and other. Babes whatever writing pill you're on, GIMME IT.
Overall, this is now in my "I'm coming back to this after angst" fic list! And I'm gonna read this so many times, my gf's gonna think I'm mental.
Tumblr media
I offer this Minho picture to you as a gift for creating such a beautiful piece of literature.
I'm sorry if this too long by the way. I was gonna write a 4 page essay but Tumblr said no. Love you babes! I hope you have a great life and find your Minho too!
(PS: I noticed a few days ago an anon translated your name into their native language so I wanted to tell you that in my native languages, Sahar means adventure (in hindi) and the thorns of a rose (in Telugu))
i can't tell you how much times i reread this since you sent it in ☹️☹️☹️ i just want to thank you first for taking the time to write me such sweet and thoughtful feedback, it truly means the world and more to me 🥹 like you've just made all the nights i spent working on this fic worth it!!!
I'm so happy you found yn's reactions realistic :") i really tried to make them as human as they can be, and not too optimistic where everything is forgotten as soon as she's with minho,, i was really afraid it wouldn't be realistic so thank you for letting me know <33
!!!!!!!! yessss,, with minho she no longer longs for love she just receives it freely, without even asking for it,,, and i feel like that's what healthy relationships are about, just a healthy nurturing love
I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED THE COLORS THINGIE,, it was such a big part of how they opened up to each other in pt.1 so i figured I NEED TO HAVE IT,, anddd yes both of them are so.. cautious around each other, like they don't want to hurt the other at all costs :(( and that's such a pretty quote wow
your description of what kind of love this is MADE ME SO WARM INSIDE,,, ahhhh love can be so beautiful when it's with the right person 🥹
im genuinely so so so HAPPY you liked this fic and that you found it this comforting ☹️☹️ i don't even know what to say apart from thank you, for being so sweet and for just existing as well!!! i hope you're happy and healthy always <3

For the oc ask game (thank you for reblogging by the way) could you answer 1, 2, 11, and 20 for Alistar?
Erikaaa 🥰!! You’re welcome, I had seen the ask game and forgot to save it then I saw Gail had it on their blog and remembered to reblog it hehe. Of course I hope you enjoy these 😁💕!
1. What is the main color associated with them? What connections with that color do they share?
Oo the main color Alistar is associated with is White. I know white mainly means “purity” and innocence, but it also means simplicity and perfection, and Alistar comes off to others as “perfect” but when you get to know him he actually has quite a few flaws.
As for what connections he shares with the color, he actually connects waay more to it’s Eastern meanings: death and sadness. Alistar’s already had death in his life (ie; his mother) and he’s had *a lot* of sadness in it as well (ie; certain members of the squad blaming him, him blaming himself, etc;). So that’s why I associate White with Alistar 😅.
2. Drawing from the language of flowers, what flower would symbolize them?
Oo I’m so glad you asked this hehe 👀! Alrighty so the flowers that symoblize Alistar are: The Iris and the Heath (aka Erika lol) flower 🥰!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the Western Language of Flowers the Iris means Faith, Valour, Wisdom, and Friendship which fits the main facets of his personality to a T, and I chose the Heath flower for the Japanese language of Flowers because it means “loneliness” which is a hidden part of his personality that no one really see’s. I chose the Heath flower and it’s meaning because, even though he is surrounded by people who love and care for him, he can’t help but be a bit lonely.
I mean, he’s the only one in his group of friends whose a Captain (and he’s only 19 which makes him one of the youngest ever), he has enemies both inside and outside his squad (he has friends too but still), and so much more.
11. Land, sea, or sky? Of the realms of the world, which one does the character belong to?
Land. He is very much a ground dweller lol, he doesn’t mind the sky too much but it isn’t his favorite thing (he has this very… *strange* fear that he may suddenly run into a flock of birds and wouldn’t have anywhere to go lmao!). As far as sea, Hm, he likes going to the beach and swimming in the water and stuff, but as far as being on a boat he gets sea sick easily lmao.
20. What word/phrase is central to their character? (It can be something they say or something that summarizes them meta-textually.)
I’m not sure if this counts as a “phrase”, but I made this quote for Alistar’s moodboard and i still think it suits him:
“ I got to where I am today because of me, not my father.”
Obviously his friends and family know he earned everything on his own, but everyone else saw/see’s it as nepotisim. To me this is somewhat central to his character, especially in “Children of the Future”, because he feels like he constantly has to prove that he’s earned his Captain’s title and that he’s just as amazing as his father and can lead the squad even though he’s still young.

hey pal, i dont remember if i sent you an ask already??? so just in case here; bloody gary, milk, and heat death of the universe ice coffee for shapesmith :v?
Tumblr media
hehe u did, so i'm going to answer all of these!! :]
Bloody Gary: What "incorrect quotes"-type conversation best describes you and your F/O?
ooh i've actually played around with an incorrect quotes generator a while ago and got some i really liked!! :D
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Heat Death of the Universe Iced Coffee: What's a small quirk or behavior your F/O has that you go absolutely hog wild over every time?
i really love how expressive they are, both in the way they move & emote!!! i really hope that's something that gets picked up in the animated series somehow, like i imagine him to always move in a somewhat exaggerated way, like he's always got a bit of that Roger Rabbit feel to him lmao. not to the point where it feels jarring, but i think it'd be fun if he just...was animated a bit more cartoony than the others, if that makes sense. they are just a silly guy <3
ALSO, another thing i've talked about before that's really really sweet to me is that he...kinda seems to enjoy casual physical touch :') i'm mostly basing this on two instances of him putting his hand on people's shoulder in the comic while taking to them which. i know that's kind of nothing but it has lead to me headcanoning him as someone who's just very prone to these kind of casual little touches (while staying respectful of people's boundaries of course) and probably also enjoys people doing the same to him....also ky's head probably exploded the first time he placed a hand on their arm while talking to them
Milk: If, before you engaged with your F/O's source, someone had told you that you'd get super attached to that character, would you have believed them? Why or why not?
i'm. pretty sure i wouldn't have, because i honestly didn't pay that much attention to them during my first time reading the volumes he appeared in dsjkhskj 💀 i mean, MAYBE if someone had given me all the information there's to know about them because he does check a few boxes when it comes to the type (or one type, at least) of characters i like, but?? i still have to admit that he was just kinda unremarkable to me when he first appeared, i actually skimmed over a lot of his scenes and had to go back to reread them later once i became...more interested in them....i was also actually way more interested in another character from their source before my brain started focusing on them and fully expected to f/o said character which. obviously did not end up happening. so like, overall i guess it's definitely not like i would have been appalled by the idea of becoming attached to him, but it would've been hard for me to believe that i'd love him as much as i do now because my first reaction was basically just "...eh"? falling in love with them was definitely a very unexpected (but welcome) turn of events for me lmao
Corpse Reviver: Do you notice any specific categories, types, or trends with your F/Os? What are they?
Hfjfjf honestly i would love to know if anyone notices a type because it's...really hard for me to pin down. i guess when it comes down to it, i really like characters who are just sort of. nice and silly??? even if it's hidden behind a though/serious exterior sometimes....also characters who are very passionate about something i guess!!! i think all in all in just like characters that feel, hm, safe to me i guess?? as in, i think about them when i need someone to comfort me and i feel like i'd genuinely have fun being with them and like i wouldn't have to pretend to be someone else around them, like they'd actually love me for me and even encourage me to be myself and do the things i love - like, characters who inspire me in some way and make me feel more comfortable going out of my comfort zone?? i think at this point in my life i tend to gravitate towards characters who reflect traits that i'd actually love in a real life partner, which. i guess sounds very basic as far as types go?? but that's probably the closest i get to describing it jdjdjd
Beeps and Boops: Regardless of the type of media your F/O is actually from, if you could render your self ship's story as any form of media (a book, a movie, a game, etc.) what would it be?
definitely a comic!!!! i'm actually envisioning parts of it in my head constantly augh....i wish i had the time and energy necessary to actually create it </3
Tax on the Beach: Describe (or post a picture if you want) your favorite moment from your F/O in their source! Why is that your favorite?
i already answered this but i'm just gonna add another moment i really like......
Tumblr media
honestly i don't have anything profound to say i'm just kinda obsessed with this hkjfhf

random thoughts about run on, episode nine
(please do note that this post contains spoilers so read at your own risk.)
the point i’m about to make is valid for all dramas, not only this one. product placements throw me off :( i mean i know they’re necessary but sometimes, it’s so obvious that it kind of takes me out of the scene i’m watching :/
on a more positive note, king of rizz ki seon gyeom is back! he’s never left but he’s still back. what makes my heart go a little crazy is how he’s so sure of what he’s saying. like, for example, when mi joo tells him she’s prettier than the day before because she put on makeup, without missing a beat he lets her know she was still beautiful even when sick... the confidence in what he says is what makes it even more special 💓 if i had a ki seon gyeom in front of me, i would be left speechless oh so many times. it wouldn’t be funny
while we’re still talking about him, i found it super cute how seon gyeom was struggling to write in his diary. like mi joo said it’s not an assignment, but it felt like it was to him. and it’s also cute how he writes short sentences that go straight to the point, kind of like how he speaks. he’s direct with it
when yeong hwa gave the synopsis, it was so adorable :( especially how excited he was. i also liked how they reenacted the scene with dan ah in it hehe
kwon yeong il telling seon gyeom that his presence “motivated him to run” and here we have yet another proof that seon gyeom does have the natural gift to motivate people, even though it was never his intention
the fact that the whole woo sik story is still developed makes me happy because i didn’t want it to end with the disciplinary committee sending park gyu beok and kim gi beom off to the military and voilà! 
seon gyeom is worried about woo sik’s future and i can see why a lot of people think he’d be a great coach. he has all the qualities for it: he has experience in sports, he motivates people and cares for them. “i want to tell him (woo sik) i’d handle all obstacles so that he can be free to just run” i don’t know how the drama ends but i hope seon gyeom will become a coach or something like that 🤞
when ki jeong do (seon gyeom’s father) lets mi joo know that she might be “a passing moment in seon gyeom’s life” i can see why it impacted her so much. up until now, everything she’s been a part of has been temporary. as much time and effort as she puts in all of her projects, the end result only lasts a second or two. she waits for her name to be shown on screen for merely a few seconds and for barely no one else to see because not a lot of people wait until the ending credits. to talk about more recent stuff, she was fired from her job a day before the end of it. a lot of scenes that involve her are temporary. they don’t last as long. and i think that’s why it hurt her a lot. more because it seems to be a good summary of her life than being jealous of being replaced by another woman (even though that hurts as well, let’s be clear)
following my previous point, it also reminds me of seon gyeom saying that if mi joo’s bored, she can go and never come back. it all goes back to being temporary.
seon gyeom was so cute when he discovered that they’ll both appear in the ending credits of the movie. he wants to share as much stuff as he can with her 💞
another quote that i definitely agree with “i’m always careful about the messages i relay” it’s crucial as translators to be able to understand things completely or else, there will be a huge mess, like the whole f*** you incident. it’s also very telling how the director forgets that mi joo is a human and, as a human, she might make mistakes and not know everything. so it’s natural that she might have taken the f word the wrong way. she is a korean/english translator, but she doesn’t have universal knowledge in both languages. whenever there’s a translator scene, you can count on me sharing as much as i want about it
it felt refreshing to see seon gyeom tell mi joo to “not do anything she doesn’t want to do” a nice reminder of how things were the other way around in the beginning episodes
and, once again, you can see the power of seon gyeom the motivator “why do i suddenly feel like I could do anything? that’s usually not the case but she feels like she can do it this time”
seon gyeom does have a positive influence on people
whenever there’s a scene involving the status of mi joo and seon gyeom’s relationship, i always end up confused but i think i might understand things a bit better with this statement made by mi joo “whenever i feel closer to you, it feels as though you push me right back. i feel left out during the most important moments and that feeling doesn’t happen on its own” i’m no relationship expert but i can begin to understand why she was upset in previous episodes. i think?
when seon gyeom says he’s been doing what she’s asked of him (aka like her), my jaw dropped to the floor. he’s so smooth and not ashamed to say things like that. my heart!
it felt nice when woo sik said that he’s finally carefree and spoke his mind. “i didn’t know what i was so afraid of back then” nice character development
it was funny how seon gyeom’s the one to tell woo sik to “put himself first”
but at least he’s self aware “when it comes to my own issues, i have trouble being objective too.” so he offers a solution “let’s talk about about it together. two is better than one, don’t you think?”
the ending scene with dan ah and yeong hwa was fantastic. yeong hwa’s dream was shattered when dan ah compared him to a vending machine. she only chose him as a means to outstand her brother. he thought he had a chance with dan ah but that’s unfortunately not the first scenario of your dreams yeong hwa 💔

Heyy! I really like the idea of a patronus as the mark !!!!!! It's so personal and special like ...... What do you think?? It's funny that it would be a tiger Lol 😂😂 I think it'll look cuter than a constellation though! Along with the snitch it would look CUTE. I said plant for mc because of she likes it and I don't know anything else like her patronus or other favorite things ...... Do you have any ideas for her patronus?? Ehe her setting up mc with someone else would be so cruel to soonyoung 😭😭 REALLY WHY CAN'T SHE SEE HIS LOVE 😭😭 maybe that botany person also has a crush on him , lots of people would have crush on him right? But he only wants mc :((((((((((( I think about what mingyu's mark would be too! Because it made mc think it might be hers ...... Thank you for talking about this with me. Im so invested in your story that I was thinking about it all the time like when I'm on the bus, and before sleeping etc 😂 ! I really love these characters 🥰🥰
hehe yeah the tiger is cute and honestly inevitable when we're promoting the horanghae agenda 🐯 I even looked at tiger tattoos on googles because I was curious about how some designs would look !!! I, however, am a huge sucker for constellations <3 Isn't it lovely how people look at something as simple as the stars and then create beautiful stories out of them !!! In the end, everything is about love ✨
Mc's patronus :0 eee well, I scrolled through some descriptions and I thought that a king cobra or a python would be really fitting! Wouldn't a snake tattoo be really cool though?!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or maybe this specific breed of cat !! It would be fitting if she was in the cat family as well, just like Soonyoung LOL
Tumblr media
It's hard because mc has such a unique personality !! She's very cunning and badass, but she's also really sweet and soft :-( Sorry for bombarding you with texts LOL, you can skim through it and get a gist at what I mean !!
If mc set Soonyoung up with another person, I would rip my own heart out lol. He does have a lot of people lining up to woo him too, but he's just not interested in them! He wants mc and mc only >:(
As for Mingyu's mark, it's so hard to incapsulate someone's personality all in one image/symbol aha. And the mark has to end up pointing directly at their soulmate!! But if he does come to believe that she *could* be the one, it might just be her favorite plant or a quote from her favorite book !! There's no way you can get yourself around that until the final markings reveal itself klasdjl. But it could still be coincidental !!
I'm so happy that you love these characters 🥺 It means a lot to me 💛 As a writer, it makes my heart grow 8 times in size just hearing that !!! Lots of love to you xx. I hope you dream of Soonyoung and Mingyu both tonight <3

My #1 post of 2022
Emily St. John Mandel can’t stop writing about pandemics
On the unexpected success and popularity of her fourth novel, “Station Eleven”
I think it’s a fundamentally hopeful story; there’s a pandemic, and then life continues. And maybe that’s something a lot of us, myself included, were longing to hear. That turned out to be especially true in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, which were terrifying, and we didn’t know how far we could fall. I think a lot of the book’s success came down to that hopefulness.
On the intertextuality between her novels
I don’t know. It’s interesting to revisit the same characters, because you get to consider them more deeply. There’s a pleasure in order, in trying to make the world more cohesive for ourselves. That’s a big part of why I use the same characters in multiple books.
On the general appeal of post-apocalyptic fiction
Some people think that it has to do with economic inequality—in a world that’s fundamentally unfair, maybe on some level we want to just blow it all up and start over again. I’ve also heard it described as a reaction to climate change. I sometimes think our interest in the post-apocalyptic genre has to do with the deep ambivalence we feel about our technology. On one hand it’s wonderful; on the other, there is such a thing as being too connected and too available. And there is absolutely an erosion of privacy.
Also the one part that really resonates with me
BB: In both of your plague novels, especially the new one, there’s an express concern about the randomness of life, why one person falls ill and another does not, and whether there’s meaning to that. One peripheral character who sticks in my mind is the interviewer in Nairobi in Sea of Tranquility, who’s dying and really, really wants there to be some sort of reason for this, in order to find meaning in it. In your books, it’s random that some live and some die, but that is not meaningless to you.
ESJM: No, it’s not meaningless to me, but it is random. It’s the spring of 2022 and I haven’t gotten COVID yet. I’ve been very careful, but I also crowded into the grocery stores just like everybody else on March 12, 2020, in New York City. And there’s something very random about the way that I didn’t get sick when I’m sure countless other people did while going about the same activity. I wouldn’t say that that implies meaninglessness, but there is definitely something very random happening to us.
