hi i have some disorganized thoughts/hcs abt the found family human doctor au
(one of the thoughts being i should really give it a better name. another being YES this is only the nuwho doctors atm bc that's the only series i've watched so far apologies. if i ever get around to watching classic who i will add them trust)
BEHOLD my random, not at all in-depth headcanons
nine is the only one with a car out of all of them. they all keep bugging him to drive/pick them up from places -- he has mixed feelings about being the assigned taxi driver
both twelve and eleven are teachers -- college professor and preschool teacher respectively. twelve's students love them because he will say the most stupid, hilarious shit with a straight face without even knowing and eleven's students love him because he is the only teacher at the school that will dance with them during musical chairs (he doesn't even play the game. he just dances)
i want to make one of them an actual doctor but i don't think any of them could handle it unfortunately
they all share an an apartment flat on the same level -- nine, twelve and fifteen live in one room, ten, eleven and thirteen live in the one across from them. of course there are other people in the building too but they're all used to the strange loud hyperactivity of that particular flat. i think i'm using the right terminology here. yall know what im talking about
(i'm so tempted to make some companions be their neighbors)
nine and ten are the most insomniac of all of them, so they're used to bumping each other in the dead of night on their way to raid each other's respective fridges or something. very rarely thirteen will join them and they're like "WELL FANCY SEEING YOU HERE"
twelve does sleep, but like. he's nocturnal
eleven and ten hate each other in a sibling kind of way (see: day of the doctor). they are constantly sending each other death threats or tripping each other over. everyone is sick of it
sometimes when they're out shopping you'll hear ten yell "GET OUT OF THE FROZEN FOOD YOU NUMPTY WE ARE NOT BUYING FISH FINGERS" over the aisles and you'll hear eleven whine "WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH" back
(if you're lucky you'll be able to catch fifteen mumble "why did we put them in the same apartment. are we asking for an eviction notice")
eventually eleven will pick a random stray cat off the side of the road, take her home, and name her bowtie, which is a stupid name, so everyone just defaults to calling her kitty
kitty's favourite person is twelve, to eleven's absolute despair
(my original idea for this was to initially have ten hate the idea of living with a cat, since he's stated full on in the show that he doesn't like cats, but apparently there is some very obscure doctor who comic run in which he falls into a depressive spiral and adopts a cat whom he names rose-the-cat, so he might actually like cats idk?)
anyway ten hates her until he doesn't lmao. he vents to her when there's no one else home and she will Stare at him back and it is a very nice friendship
kitty and nine watch shitty romcom together
they have a joint groupchat together -- half of it is just thirteen and fifteen assigning everyone outfits they find on pinterest and the other half is eleven asking where everyone went (he keeps getting lost when they go out)
nine doesn't know how to download pictures off the internet and so resorts to manually editing memes together to send to the groupchat and everyone's like "girl that's so much more effort........."
(yes he doesn't know how to press save image to camera roll but he knows how to use a photo editor flawlessly. such is the logic of the idiocy of the doctors)
eleven and thirteen get along very well i think. they're the only two of the group to play video games and so they bond over that. they also have ridiculously similar clothing taste
sometimes they'll succeed in getting fifteen to play pokemon with them and then they'll proceed to not see him until the next day when he comes out of his room and goes "you didn't tell me plusle couldn't evolve i've been levelling it up all fucking night"
friday is assigned movie night (it's always big hero 6)
eleven is the only one to actively seek out physical affection, usually really abruptly like clinging to thirteen's back as she passes him in the hall or bapping ten with the palm of his hand until he sighs and gives him a hug. he does expect a platonic kiss on the forehead from anyone before he goes to bed and will complain if he doesn't get one
anyway thats it i'm sick in the head and really sad. if this keeps up i may be forced to actually write a fic

toji crumbs plesse pasi
—cw: fem!reader, dirty talking about breeding, borderline misogyny (only if you squint), talks about pregnancy, canon verse.
Toji who doesn't let his housewife do anything. Toji who buys you all those expensive things you like. He wouldn't even trouble you with work.
"I am thinking about working in that convenience store down the street," you said, taking out the groceries from the shopping bag.
"I already asked them and seems like they'll hire me," you look up. What you're met with is a confused face and a head tilt.
"Nope. You don't need it" he just blurts out, stacking the packaged meat in the fridge. He always does this. You feel useless not contributing anything to the financial income of the house.
"Why? I want to work. I want to help you," you reason, which probably seems to bounce off his head because all he does his ignore all your reasons.
"Toji please—"
"Y/n, you are not going. Ya know the kind of work I do, It's dangerous for you to be out there without me."
"They don't even know me," you yell.
"They might. Don't wanna risk it," you try to understand him. He isn't wrong. Given all his shenanigans out there, you already have to move from place to place withing every 4 months. This job wouldn't matter anyway.
"But—" that's when you felt a big hand wrap around your jaw.
"Now what did I fucking tell you? You're not going anywhere, baby. If you stay home, I'll make sure to breed your cunt everyday, and let you have my kids,"he offered, eyes burning holes in yours.
Your dumb horny ass moaned when he said that.
"Ya? This turn you on baby? Look at that pathetic moan you just let out," his hands were already roaming near your pelvis. "you want me to breed you? Huh? Want my cum deep in this—" he took a step back, looking down at now your bare slick, "—in this pussy?"
You immediately nodded without a coherent thought. You've always thought about it. Now it feels like it's coming coming true.
Toji threw you on the counter, slapping your wetness. "Nasty little wife. Look how fucking wet you got. All I did was talk about how I'll shoot a baby in you," he pushed a finger past your hole.
"want you, toji—hah! want your baby, fuck me please,"
He has never seen his wife like this. All pathetic and begging. "Fucking hell. Beg me more and I'll make sure this cunt is nicely stuffed with my cum."
Will you beg more?
—a/n: you wanted crumb. This is just a crumb lmao. I'll write more on this when I get motivation.

ik gojo is the clingy type. but like how clingy??? i’m sure dyf!mc gets overwhelmed because she def seems the type to not be used to affection.
how clingy? wouldn’t u like to know lmao. just know he’s clingy AND whipped in dyf au
you are right in the sense that she isn’t used to affection, but know that i’ve written dyf!mc to be very very very very very touchstarved. which is also why u don’t see her complain much/at all when being touched by the main 3
It’s cold. You need to wear more layers.
You feel shivers start to trail down your spine, your undershirt suddenly not feeling quite enough as Gojo wrapped his own uniform blazer around you.
His extremely chilly, cold feeling blazer.
Unrelenting and refusing to let you out of his hold.
“Satoru…” You’re trying not to push him away, the cold radiating from his body AND his snow covered jacket making your chill resistance even lower.
“Could you let me go?”
“Nope!”
“But you’re really cold!” You’re now struggling against his grip, trying to get off his lap and his arm unlocked from around your waist. So that you can free yourself from his scarily glacial chill. Why does he run so cold?
“And? You feel really nice and warm. Like a little warm water bottle! He smushed his cheek against yours as you struggled to push him away, squirming around.
“Nwooo, stop!” You shove his imposing cheek away with a glove-clad hand. “You’re too cold!”
“I think you’ll look cute even with a little bit of frost bi-“
Suguru has saved you, flicking his partner’s forehead hard enough for him to let you go.
You act quickly, lunging into Suguru’s open and waiting arms instead, ensuring that the fluttering jacket didn’t touch the ground as you hung it on your arm instead.
“Thank you! You’re a lifesaver!” You whined, reaching pulling your muffler on properly from its disheveled state.
Gojo really was a walking fridge.
“Noooo-! My personal heater!” He grabbed at the air as he dragged himself forward, aiming to grapple you into his deathly embrace of ice and teeth chattering.
Geto quickly swerved, dodging him and maneuvering you as Gojo stumbled on his feet.
You let out a sigh of relief. Another few minutes of guaranteed non-Gojo heat.
You’ve thought you’ve escaped. Thought.
“Thank you and all, Suguru but…” You start to panic a little as you feel his arms tightening around you.
“Could you perhaps let me go now?”
He simply smiles down at you, eyes closed in what seemed like bliss as he continued to hold you.
“Nope.”
Goddamn weather.
“Suguryunnnnn, make way for me!” You shuddered at the expanse of incoming freeze when you felt Satoru wrap his long arms around the both of you.
——
“Then all you have to do is look at him like I taught you, okay?” Shoko reaffirms, holding you by your shoulders, determinedly looking you in the eye as you stare back at her.
“Wha-“
“Target spotted. Into action, brave soldier.” You’re immediately flung outwards, a strong chest catching you as you rubbed at your nose, looking up at the ‘target’.
“Satoru,” You began, your hands nervously twiddling with each other as your eyes surreptitiously peeked back at Shoko hiding behind a wall, flashing you a thumbs up.
Time to put the mission into play.
Your eyes met his smiling face.
“There’s a new crepe shop that-“
“Yes.”
You’re taken aback. “I… Didn’t finish my sentence?”
Gojo hummed, hand sweeping out snowflakes from your hair.
“You ran out of allowance money right?”
“I was right, wasn’t I?” He squishes your face in his cold hands as you struggle to think of a retort. You can’t give away Shoko’s plan so easily, even if he was right!
“Awwwe, don’t worry.” He now pinches one of your cheeks, before wrapping you up in his arms.
“I’ll buy you as many crepes as you want!”
masterlist
Notes:
Suguru and Satoru were actually going to head off to the crepe shop together for a date.
They were thinking buying back some for you and Shoko, but since you so cutely asked Satoru, they simply left with you.
You invited Shoko along.
The crepes tasted strangely sweet when you all ate them together on a bench at a nearby park.
You want to go again soon.
Gojo got strawberry, Geto had chocolate banana, Ieiri matcha.
Regardless of what you picked, Gojo had stolen a bite of yours, you willingly gave Geto a bite of your crepe whilst he fed you back his own, and Shoko and yourself shared crepes with each other.

Dead Plate (Part 1)
hello!! its been a while since ive posted but here i am!!! so this game is Dead Plate created by STUDIO INVESTIGRAVE
i had played one of their games before, Elevator Hitch, and i really really enjoyed it! so im very excited for this new game that theyve released
though, this game is probably really different from Elevator Hitch, because that game was a visual novel type of game while this one has restaurant tycoon gameplay
still, im very excited
i hope i can get all the endings today (but probably not) as always, spoilers under the cut!
Tumblr media
i know its literally just the title screen BUT it looks very classy
also the music? its a bop like yo BellKalengar is the composer and sound designer and like yo!! amazing job its literally just the title screen and im amazed already LMFAO
alright then lets begin
lolol i like the way they named the buttons for doing the tutorial, skipping the tutorial or just leaving the game on auto progress time to show up at 5 am then
Tumblr media
the art is really cute these characters are really cute too esp the protag
i know its just the tutorial but i am very nervous LOL doing service jobs make me nervous (even tho this is only a fictional one)
bro protag why did u skim the interview thing 😭 is that why u've had 28 jobs in 7 years 💀
ooh interesting the cooks have an order in which they cook meals i need to remember that
wow so theres a lot to do huh theres seating the customers, taking their orders, bringing those orders to the kitchen, serving the food, going to the cash register to take their payments, cleaning up the tables AND throwing out the trash its a lot more than i was expecting,,,, lol good luck to me i guess
so like fun fact im actually not that good at playing games LOL esp this kind of game where theres like people and they have like a happy meter kind of thing going on i wonder if any of the endings will be tied to how well we do during the work day ?? probably
also can i just say that the music is really good i like the kinda jazzy (is that the right word??) vibes going on
it makes me less nervous about serving customers since its very chill LOL
WHY IS THIS CUSTOMER HITTING ME WITH A HARD QUESTION
I HAVE NO IDEA IF WE HAVE TO-GO BOXES OR WHATEVR WHAT HUH ?????
there is a right answer and i have no idea what it is im gonna lose my mind please. ok well lets pick an answer
im gonna go 'no' since the restaurant has a strict menu that changes daily right? so maybe they wouldnt do to-go boxes or ordering ahead and stuff (RIGHT???)
oh phew ok i picked the right one
LOL the banter between the protag and the tutorial guy (i dont know his name)
??? what the hell this customer just left right as i got the food bro 😭😭 have some patience damn this aint a fast food place
now i have to throw away this perfectly good meal (sorry cooks)
oh no now the real game is starting uhh aight alright then lets go
ok so that was like only three customers, i did pretty well but the day's not over yet shdajhsdsakhj i feel like a disaster n it was only three customers LMAO
oh it was only 3 customers for day 1 nice (i got jumpscared by the sound effect for the day ending LFMAO)
Tumblr media
ooh green onion rolls,,, it looks good damn now i want to eat LOL
Tumblr media
BITCH YOU LIVE LIKE THIS?????? damn,,,,
the music for this area is pretty chill tho
THE BATHROOM IS FLOODING??? AGAIN ?!??! BRO ??? THATS DISGUSTING
the window has a horrible view its just another building
Tumblr media
oho? she? who???
bro dont leave the dishes for later thats sooo gross
??? HOW DID YOU BURN CEREAL???? WHAT DID YOU EVEN DO ??
i am appalled at the protag's lifestyle i cant even
so he has not finished writing lyrics and love letters for this girl he mentioned earlier the game is not revealing her name and im wondering why hmm its very sus
Tumblr media
sorry im laughing so hard??? its mostly empty except for some cans and the fucking green onion rolls im cackling?? they look so out of place in this fridge LMFAO
bro how are you so bad at cooking that you burnt food in the microwave??? what are you doing???
wait. is his bed the couch???? bro i feel so bad for this guy
Tumblr media
he biked through the rain,,,,, and he thought doing it fast would dry him,,, in the rain,,,,, im starting to understand why he somehow managed to burn cereal
he doesnt own an umbrella
Tumblr media
aww this is cute thanks boss
he LIVES here??? wow damn his apartment is upstairs thats very cool
LOL protag keep ur mouth shut
Tumblr media
day 2 here we go
SHIT HELP I TOOK TOO LONG ONE OF THE CUSTOMERS LEFT NOOO im restarting jkdsljlds its a good thing i saved
ahh i did way better this time but the day ended right as i was about to take out the trash LOL
Tumblr media
oooh those look tasty too
oops ok so like i started day 3 right
well i was like 'i'll take out the trash before serving any customers' so that i can just easily clean up the tables right
uhh but then suddenly this happened ??? so like protag dropped the bag and cut their finger and the boss is having an odd reaction to the sight of blood methinks
HTHE BOSS JUST SLAPPED HIM ??? WTF
bro he just slapped him then was like 'oh dw someone else will clean it up' hello???? you just slapped ???? me ???
ok then moving on to the rest of the day i guess??
Tumblr media
kinda weird looking but it still looks appetizing (the magic of art LOL)
oh shit theres a magazine ?? oops im gonna go back and read through previous ones oh nevermind its just the same one lmao
ohhh so this is where i buy items ok aight
and this catalogue is how our protag knew about the job for a waiter it also has an interview with our boss (Chef Vincent Charbonneau, i finally know his name) about the low number of employees i was wondering why we were the only waiter in the restaurant and i guess thats why
ok i bought the rollerskates cuz i need to be faster for the customers
oh and u can interact w the telephone to call 'her' but she doesnt pick up oof
sorry what is happening right now
Tumblr media
what is that weird squelching sound?!?!?
BRO?? WTF WAS THAT ??? so like his body felt itchy, pressed Z to scratch and then suddenly lines were all over his body and then knives came out and i am so very confused
i think that was just a dream but what a weird nightmare
i guess onto day 4 then ?? at least i have my sick new rollerskates now
Tumblr media
ooh that looks tasty
man i think im too slow cuz the timer always runs out while one more customer is still around lmfao, oh well
oh shit another nightmare
ohh so i can only equip one item at a time hmmm well since i bought the watch anyways i guess i'll use it
PFFT A CUSTOMER LEFT SORRY LADY,, she was waiting to be seated but i was preoccupied with serving food oopsies
restarting the day then
Tumblr media
the nightmare hmm is the protag's name Rody since thats what it says on the label
DAMNIT I TOOK TOO LONG AGAIN
ok im just gonna use the rollerskates this time
AGGHH I KEEP TAKING TOO LONG ON THIS ONE CUSTOMER
restarting again,,,,
should i just let it go? probably but im not going to
IM GONNA LOSE MY MIND IVE RESTARTED SO MANY TIMES
ok well youve not seen it but i have restarted day 5 soo many times and i am hungry so,,, here's where i'll leave it for today
even though i am struggling and getting frustrated, im really enjoying the game so far! i wish i wasnt so terrible at playing it so i could see more of the story LOL
like what is up with the boss? who is this girl that the protag likes so much? what is up with his weird nightmares??? and will i ever be able to finish day 5 ?????
tune in next time LOL byebyeee

Headcanons for sasuke as a father (I don't trust canon, I think we can all agree canon sasuke is ooc and it's absolute trash fdssdkfjsdhf sry if I sound aggressive). But I wanna see you're take on how sasuke would treat his s/o and child (son/daughter, that's you're preference).
LOL. You don't sound aggressive at all, don't worry. I haven't seen any of Boruto just because it seems like it is... not great, haha. I think Sasuke would be a good father and I definitely have some ideas about how I'd think he'd be!
I am going to write about a daughter just because I love the idea of Sasuke being a #girldad lmao. Idk why. His life partner in this will be gn.
Sasuke Father Headcanons (Daughter Edition!)
Sasuke had always known he wanted a family, but he never really understood what that meant until he met his partner. They taught him how to love again, and finally helped him understand unconditional love.
With them around, he knew he was ready to have a family. He wanted to build a life with them from the ground up - one filled with love and warmth, something that he was robbed of.
The day his daughter came home was, without a doubt, the happiest day of his life.
His whole life, he only knew misery and pain. He didn't want the same to be true for his daughter, so he makes sure to give her all the love and attention she needs.
He is very attentive to her and remembers all the little things from who her best friends are to which teen pop idol she has a crush on at the moment.
He is her number one cheerleader. He attends every single Academy-Sponsored event, even the ones that she says "don't matter". To him, they matter, so he will make sure he is there - even if he's the only one on the sidelines.
When she was younger, Sasuke let her put make-up on him, or paint his toes, or put flowers in his hair. Her soft giggles made his heart soar higher than he knew it could, and bringing her joy was his Number One Priority - even if it meant dealing with bright pink toenails for a week.
Sasuke loves hugging his daughter and does it whenever he can, even through her teenage years and grumblings. He loved it when she would fall asleep on the couch during a movie or on the way home from a long car ride, knowing he could carry her to bed and make sure she was tucked in tightly, placing a gentle kiss to her forehead before silently shutting the door.
Sasuke isn't too strict when his daughter inevitably starts bringing crushes home, keeping his distance so as to not embarrass her too badly. But he does tease them. A lot.
"It's nice to finally meet you," Sasuke said the moment they walked through the front door. "We've heard a lot about you."
"DAD!" She moaned, shoving her crush in the direction of her bedroom. "Stop."
"You can close the door if you want, but just know my Sharingan is way stronger than yours and I can see everything that goes on in there." Sasuke smirks and lets his midnight eyes wander over to her crush. "And I mean everything."
They usually hang out at her crushes' place after that.
Sasuke is definitely a sap when it comes to his daughter. He never cries in front of her, but the first time he had to let her go off to school, he broke down the moment he got to work.
And by "broke down", I of course mean in the most Sasuke way possible, which only consisted of a single tear grazing down his cheek.
He got sappy after every milestone of hers, but the worst was when she drew a picture of them all as a family for the first time. She gave it to Sasuke with a huge grin on her face while pointing at some weird, lopsided stick figure, shouting "Daddy! Daddy!"
He was very glad his partner wasn't home because that was single-handedly the most embarrassing moment of his life: him, curled into a ball in the bathroom floor, holding the picture and actually crying over what was, undoubtedly, the worst drawing he had ever seen.
He still has it up on the fridge to this day, even long after she has moved into her own apartment.
Her smile is his kryptonite and his only saving grace.
He didn't know how fractured he was until she put the pieces of him back together, and for that, Sasuke will give her the world.

If there comes a Sherlock-esque fic for BoB... Who would be Sherlock and Watson between
1. Lewis Nixon and Dick Winters
2. Carwood Lipton and Ron Speirs
3. David Webster and Joe Liebgott
And what kind of Sherlock and Watson on each ship.
I love how this is worded like you're running a survey for an upcoming fic you're making anon HAHAHAHHAA are you 👀👀👀👀??? I'll be keeping my eyes peeled.
1) Winnix
Lew is Sherlock of course. It's the addictive personality. You could probably do something very Elementary-esque with this one, and have Dick come into his life as his sponsor. People forget that in-canon, Lew may have been lazy but he was brilliant, a damn fine intelligence officer, and Dick himself said that. The only thing you're gonna have to explain away is his laziness and his motives for wanting cases.
I guess you just have to also remember that every iteration of Sherlock Holmes is always driven by a search for the truth. Not justice, mind you, though that's my personal interpretation of the character. I prefer my Sherlocks to operate outside of the scope of Lawful Good, and I think Lew's iteration of him would, too. Which I think would be perfect for a Sherlock Holmes!Lewis Nixon iteration, because something about him just SCREAMS chaos. And also his upbringing would lend that world view some credence.
Literally, I could see him as the embodiment of "I'm of the opinion that people shouldn't go to jail for objectively funny crimes." Which would clash with Dick's sense of justice nicely, especially if you'd like some commentary, in text, about police brutality and the failures of the justice system. They would clash, with Dick being an ex-military man and Lew being... whatever he is. But I also think Dick becomes kinda blind to Lew's shortcomings, I mean. He always has. He's definitely the kind of Watson who thinks, unironically, that Nix is the smartest person in the room. And Dick's blind faith in him could probably pull Nix out of the grave he's found himself dug into. He would always want to be the type of man who deserves someone like Dick Winters. WHICH now that I think about it, would be a VERY interesting motivation for him to solve mysteries, as it were.
2) Speirton
Ronald Speirs. And this Sherlock WOULD be a cop. Lmao, sorry Ron, but like even in canon Ron is following rules to a tee because that's how he sees the world and that's how he knows, for sure, that he's going to keep the people he cares about safe. That's why his reactions to Carver was a big thing right? I've already said it before, but his sudden deviance from order and chain of command in episode 10 (when in all the other episodes the worst he'd been doing was stealing) was his whole breakdown and an illustration of how the war was capable of fucking even his unerring moral compass/alignment. But I digress.
His Sherlock would be a cop. I say that with as much love in the world as I could (lmao ACAB amirite). If Lewis' Sherlock was anti-copaganda, Ron's would be copaganda the likes of Law-&-Order. You could go down that road too and make Lip like... the ADA who thinks he's brilliant, despite how unorthodox his methods may be, and works hard to transcribe Ron's deductions into something that could feasibly hold up in court. Ya know? Have fun with it!
3) Webgott
David Webster. And this Sherlock is AUTISTIC as they all fucking come. He's a disaster. His morbid curiousity gets him off the wrong foot with everyone he meets. He's an asshole. His flat is a disaster only he can navigate. He has body parts in his fridge. Dangerous chemicals in his cupboards. He is the embodiment of every picked upon nerd in high school except he is a grown ass man with a PhD under his belt. He's an anarchist but he was also raised rich. He doesn't like to do his own dishes because he touched wet food once and it sent him into sensory overload so bad he switched all his plates to disposable ones.
In contrast, Joe's Watson would be much like the Watson from that russian Sherlock Holmes-- no not the 1980 version, the 2013 one, where Sherlock is a nerd with glasses and there's an emphasis on Watson's POV and his motivations as someone who is a doctor AND a soldier. It was really interesting, actually, and you should give it a watch! Anyway, Joe's Watson is definitely a fighter. You will not forget his Army background. You will not forget that this man has seen Horrors. You will not forget that this man is brilliant, too, just in different ways. He sees things Web misses, but he also gives credit to Web where credit is due. However begrudgingly he might do it.
Their coupling would be like two sides of a coin, or two puzzle pieces, I think, but they'd have a rough start. Web's too arrogant, Joe's too tightly wound. They fight a lot, because Web's been alone for so long that he's forgotten to share, forgotten how to articulate himself well enough for another person to understand-- but that's the thing. Joe Knows him in ways Web thought he'd been above wanting. Web doesn't quite understand Joe, but the fact that he's so willing to try despite being so difficult, previously, is not lost on Joe, either. They both say trust is difficult for them to cultivate but they trust each other explicitly, almost as soon as they meet each other-- which annoys them to no end. They literally DO NOT want to think about how quickly the other has become their ride and die because they'd rather bitch about it than have any self-reflection, bless them. But you can't deny that their Old Married Couple vibes is there from the beginning.
Their Final Problem would be devastating. Just saying.

1P!Hetalia x Reader x 2P!Hetalia
One day, you had come across a pet shelter in which, you wanted to adopt a single cat. But instead of one, it seems all of them didn't want to let you go...
A/N: LEMME TELL YOU I ENJOYED THIS SO MUCH–
TW: None! Have some very fluffy crack XD
GN! (Y/N) 《Other Genders Will Also Be Made》
Ahahaha...it's just pure chaos, you don't know how it all suddenly happened but it did!
You seriously just wanted to adopt a cat. A single cat.
But why do you have like– 22 cats in your house? Oh yes, there's a very simple answer to all of that. You see, the cats just couldn't let you leave them 🥺
We have some very clingy ones, apparently. The owner explained no one has come to adopt any cat there in ages.
And as the very kind person you are, as usual you took all of them in no matter how hard it must be. Wow, what a nice person you are 🤡❤️
Sometimes it's hard, but hey, it was fun naming them.
You find it funny whenever they try to race into your bedroom very loudly to have you give them a bath.
Your house seems a lot more lively than usual because of them, and of course you don't mind. It was better than being alone for the rest of your life–
Feliciano often hides from Luciano, which always knocks over some of your furniture which you're devastated at.
Not all of them get along well but you try to...💀
Lots of eerie staring with Kiku and Kuro. Everytime they do it you just freak out at the cold auras radiating from them.
...You once tried calling 911 but remembered they're CATS.
Just you sitting sulking in the corner with all of the crazy cats and Ludwig tryna comfort you— good boi 👏
You always lock your bedroom door before sleeping because...you wake up to ripped sheets and a broken window + a running bathroom faucet. So yeah.
Never again will you adopt these hoes in your next life 🤡
Romano both loves and hates getting picked up by you. Like he goes from "PUT ME DOWN" to "i love you thanks"–
Honestly...sometimes you also have to admit that the cats can get a little weird. One time you woke up and went to make some breakfast but..
FELICIANO WAS INSIDE THE FRIDGE– WHAT?? ✋️💀
He was resting with the tomato sauce too. Oh, did he want some pasta? You still couldn't wrap your head around this..
Often times you'd see Flavio sleeping in a pile of your clothes as well. It was adorable but how'd he get in your-?
Ah, whatever. You'd let him anyways, it always seems like he likes being around outfits or sewing materials. Though it was kinda weird you guessed he just liked fashion or smth.
LMAO HELP YOU ALMOST BURNED KURO ON THE STOVE BECAUSE HE WAS CHILLING THERE–
He was camouflaged on the black stove lmao...😭
You would never forget that day when he looked at you with his red eyes in such disgust and rage-
But hey, you're on better terms now. All because you gave him some sushi and watched pokemon with him...well, whatever. As long as things are better.
Lutz and Gillen always like going on the table for some reason. Probably away from the dumbasses fighting–
You won't admit, you love seeing them get along.
...Honestly it's refreshing because of the daily cat chaos, just having a break from seeing all of that madness.
Same is true with Allen and Oliver whenever you cook something nice or bake some desserts. They love the smell and just watch you be peaceful with yourself 🌮🍪
..You think Arthur hates you. No, he's just a tsundere babes there's no need to worry. Don't be sad the next time he tries to wriggle out of your fluffy hugs–
Luciano also once napped beside some kitchen knives of yours but let's not talk about that...👁👄👁
All of them are so strange but you love them anyway.
"waIT ZAO DON'T DRINK THAT, THAT'S ALCOHOL–" ...that was definitely a day to remember.
Sometimes Zao and Yao don't get along. But when you tell them to they gladly oblige because you're...
#thebestownertohaveeverexisted ❤️
Also, mind you but maybe it would be a better idea to never let Francis inside your room ever again. Once he takes a liking to napping on your bed he WON'T GET OUT.
You act like the mom of everyone. But it's still true because you have to stop Francoiş from scratching Matthew.
Poor little cat is scared for his life...and you always have to pull them away from each other before Mattheiu joins in.
Also you don't wanna be around Ivan or Viktor all the time.
Dudes have such bad aura's and it freaks you out so much. You just probably hide in your room when that happens.
But Alfred just runs beside you and hides with you. Heck, ALL OF THEM DO. It surprises you how much they're freaking out more than you...oh wait, they're cats too.
You feed them all the food they like, but if it includes something they shouldn't eat you just give them smth else.
KIKU CUDDLES YOUR FOOT AAAAA 😭💞
He doesn't liked being touched but maybe when you nonchalantly just say–
"If you want you can just sit beside me or smth.." Look if you just say yes you'll have the best cat in the world. I wish i had a pet like this. They're feral.
Cuddle nights! Happens every Friday and Saturday. You just put up a movie hugging yourself on the couch then boo–
Gilbert sits on your head. He's a light cat somehow.
Then you suddenly have like...everyone sitting beside you.
But aww 🥺 you love them so much, you know that you can't ask for any better.
"Look, you guys. Stop fighting i love you all so much and i could never ask for a better life i'm happy that ya'll are here and that i won't be alone the entire time–"
You said all that in one breath. The cats appreciate you, homie. Never let them go.
Love them please, they deserve all of it 💖
(THIS IS LONG– but it means i enjoyed it XD)

Your works are lovely. Please, I love drama, angst, and fluff. May I get a request.
AU
Relationship: James/Dave (They live together)
Past Relationship: Dave/David Ellefson
Characters: David Ellefson, Marty Friedman, Gar Samuelson, Chris Poland
Scenario: Dave's old college friends Junior, Marty, Gar, and Chris decide to get together after years of not seeing each other. James comes along to meet them for the first time.
___________
Side note:
I love a jealous and angry James. And a bratty Dave. I'm hoping that it can kind of be a thing where James realizes he doesn't really know much about Dave's past. He also feels left out of their conversation, and he also gets extremely jealous of learning that Dave's ex is junior. Maybe have Junior and Dave flirt a bit. Lmao. And have Dave ignore him sometimes. Kind of like a slow burn of James starting out happy, and by the end of the meeting, he is angry and upset with Dave.
In the end, if they could have angry make-up sex that would be great 😅
I hope I didn't write too much. My apologies if I did. 🙂
Thank you!! This was a really long ask so I hope I did it justice!
You can also read it on ao3 here
James has never seen the point of reunions.
When he got an invite to his own college reunion, he’d dumped it straight in the trash because why the fuck would he want to meet up with people he hasn’t seen in over a decade. Especially because the only friend he still has from college is Cliff.
Which is why he’s beyond annoyed when Dave waves a flashy invite in his face, smile all wide and snarky.
“I know how much you love reunions,” Dave says.
James just flashes him a warning look because no please don’t ask me to go please-
“It’s says I can bring a plus one.”
James sets his jaw, his teeth digging into his tongue.
“No.”
Dave just rolls his eyes, hanging the invite on the fridge with a Double Dip magnet.
“I don’t fucking care. I’m not going alone so you’re coming with.”
James just sighs. Dave turns to him and slides his hands around his waist, gently bringing him closer.
“It’s not that bad,” he says. “And I’ll make sure to find you a suit that hugs your perfect ass.”
Hands grope James’s ass, squeezing his cheeks, and he flushes, though he does his best to keep looking annoyed.
Dave just smirks, leaning in to kiss him softly.
“And besides, that way I get to flaunt you round for everyone to see.”
James pouts, though he can’t help but lets his hands skate along Dave’s hips.
“I’m not your fucking trophy wife.”
Dave hums, reaching up to tuck a piece of hair behind James’s ear.
“You’re right. You’re my fucking trophy husband.”
He kisses James before the younger man can answer, hands still cupping his cheeks through his trousers.
James just brings in Dave by the waist, relishing in the taste of his lips against his own, only for the kiss to be broken with a harsh slap to his butt.
He yelps and Dave laughs.
“And don’t you fucking forget it.”
— —
The hall is packed and James feels stupid in his stupid fucking suit. Dave’s hand is warm against his waist, but it does little to quell the panic in his chest.
This is a part of Dave James has never known. They met after college, and so James only knows snippets here and there of Dave’s college life.
But still, he can do this. He can do this for Dave.
Dave snags them two drinks from the buffet table, and James has to try hard not to down it in one.
Dave pats the small of his back lightly, attracting James’s attention, and that’s when he spots a small group of guys making their way over to them.
James downs his drink.
Dave turns a little, lips brushing James’s ear.
“Be nice,” he whispers, and James doesn’t really know what the fuck that means because he’s usually the most civil out of the two of them.
God knows how many times James has had to diffuse a conversation because Dave has a habit of letting his anger get the better of him. So he feels a bit put out that Dave would think he’d do something to upset him.
“Dave,” a smaller guy shouts, grabbing Dave by the shoulder, pulling him away from James. James watches a little on edge at the way this new guy pulls Dave against him, and how Dave goes willingly, encasing each other in a swift hug.
Jealousy lines James’s tongue but he stays quiet, casually reaches over to put his arm around Dave’s waist.
It obviously isn’t that casual though because Dave pulls away from the other guys and throws James a reassuring glance.
“James, this is Junior,” Dave says, gesturing to the smaller man. “Junior, this is my boyfriend, James.”
Hearing Dave call him his boyfriend would usually make James all gooey and soft, but something about this Junior guy has him on edge.
Junior just smiles at him, holds a hand out. James eyes him for a second before taking his hand, his grip maybe a bit too tight.
“And this is Chris, Gar and Marty. All old friends from college,” Dave says, gesturing at the rest of the group.
“Who you calling old?” Marty says, punching Dave lightly in the shoulder.
James just feels awkward. It’s almost like he’s invading, trespassing onto a part of Dave’s life he has no right to.
Dave’s hand eventually finds his own, squeezing it gently as he talks to the guys, the five of them reminiscing over a time where James wasn’t a part of Dave’s life.
The more they talk, the more James just wants to go home. He feels so out of place, and his suit is stuffy and rigid. The only upside to any of this is seeing Dave looking almost sinful in his almost too tight suit. The way it hugs his beefy arms, his juicy ass. The way his red hair lies perfectly across his shoulders, his lips-
“James?”
James snaps out of his trance, realising he’d spaced out of the conversation completely. Mostly because he didn’t feel involved anyways.
Dave is looking at him, eyes seeming to search for something.
“Why don’t you go and get another drink?”
He knows Dave means well, probably thinking it will help to have a distraction, but James can’t help but feel like it’s a rejection. Dave’s hand slips from his waist and James nods.
He walks away in search of a drink, hoping for something strong, hearing Dave’s voice drown out in the hall.
He really just wants to go home. He doesn’t feel like speaking to anyone. And he doesn’t feel like speaking to Dave either. He knows it’s unfair but he just can’t help but think maybe Dave would’ve had a different life if he’d stayed with his friends. Maybe he wouldn’t need James. Or want him.
He scuffs his shoe a little on the slippy hall floor, almost tripping, and feels shame creep up to the tips of his ears when people peek around to stare at him.
Stupid dress shoes. Stupid hall floor. Stupid fucking reunion.
He finally feels a little bit better when he spots a bar on the other side of the room. He’s sick of the champagne. He needs a beer.
The bartender probably can tell he’s not doing great because a beer is placed in front of him before he can even order.
He looks up gratefully, handing him a few bucks and the bartender gives a soft smile.
“Rough night?”
James scoffs, takes a swig of his beer.
“You have no idea.”
He doesn’t know how long he lingers by the bar, but soon he’s on his second beer and thinks it’s probably a good time to seek Dave out again.
He grabs his beer and heads back into the crowd, tries to search out a mop of red hair.
It’s when he finally spots Dave that someone bumps into him.
“Oh sorry dude.”
He turns a little to see the same guy from before, Junior or something. Junior smiles, maybe a little too wide, and James realises he’s trying to reel him in. He’s not on for conversations, but he tries his best.
“You having a good night?” Junior says, bumping his fist lightly with his own beer. James holds in a grimace, rocking on his feet a little.
“S’alright I guess.”
Junior just nods, taking a swig of his beer.
“Dave’s looking really good.”
That comment makes James’s eyebrows raise around his beer.
“I think you’re really good for him. He wasn’t like this when I was with him.”
James promptly chokes on his beer.
He coughs, and Junior just looks on slightly amused.
“I’m sorry?”
“Me and him were a thing back in the day. Did he not tell you?” Junior says all innocently, fingers fiddling with the neck of his beer.
“Um… no. No he never mentioned that,” James stutters. He fucking knew it. He knew there was something off about Junior, about the way he hugged Dave and the way Dave hugged him back.
Fucking bastard.
“Well, he’s definitely looking great, man. You look good together.”
And James would believe that if Dave hadn’t spent the night talking to his ex.
James finds he doesn’t really have words anymore so he just nods, knocking back the rest of his beer as Junior pats his arm before drifting back into the crowd.
James doesn’t know if it’s what’s just happened or the alcohol, but he feels like a fool. Maybe Dave would’ve been better off with Junior. Maybe Dave wants Junior back. It definitely feels that way thinking about how Dave’s hands had lingered on Junior, how Dave had lit up at the sight of him.
He sure as shit knows why Dave told him to be nice now.
Fuck that.
He spots Dave again in the crowd speaking to Marty and he trudges over. Dave spots him almost immediately and James watches his smile drop, excusing himself away from Marty.
“What’s wrong?” Dave says when James approaches. James just grinds his jaw because he’s not in the fucking mood for this.
“We’re leaving,” he bites, and yeah, he regrets that as soon as it leaves his mouth but he’s a stubborn bastard and doesn’t give up when Dave gives him a foreign look.
“We’ve hardly been here. Just stay with me for a while,” Dave says, reaching out to smooth his hand over James’s bicep, likely to try and diffuse the situation, which is kind of comical coming from Dave of all people.
“No I wanna leave,” James replies, stiff under Dave’s touch.
Dave’s demeanour changes then.
“Can you not fucking make this about you for once? I’ve been looking forward to this for weeks.”
James scoffs, crossing his arms.
“Yeah I can fucking see why.”
Dave’s face scrunches up and he steps forward.
“What the fuck’s that supposed to mean?”
James holds his ground, Dave’s breath hot against his face. It occurs to him that they’ve attracted an audience but he doesn’t care. He’s too pissed off.
“Y’know what?” Dave seethes. “Go wait in the fucking car. I’ll be out when I’m goddamn ready.”
James wants to argue back that that’s the fucking problem, he doesn’t want to leave Dave alone with Junior, but Dave’s expression is dark, deathly so, and James knows he’s not gonna win this one.
Instead, he swiftly turns his back and heads for the car, face like thunder as he wades through the crowd.
— —
Dave takes over an hour to come out, and in that time James sobers up a little and feels guilt clog up his throat.
In hindsight, he realises maybe he’d been a little too harsh. Maybe he’d let the knowledge of Dave and Junior being a thing in the past get to his head.
Which is why he’s not surprised that when Dave finally does show, he doesn’t even look at James as he gets into the passenger. He buckles himself in in silence, and James swallows the lump in his throat.
“I’m sorry-“
“Save it,” Dave snaps, eyes trained out of the window. James guesses Dave probably doesn’t want to speak to him right now, so he starts the truck and starts driving.
It only takes twenty minutes to get home, and they spend it in near silence, the only sound being from the radio as it drawls the news on low.
James has a mixture of shame, guilt and anger pulsing through him by the time they get home, and it’s made all the more worse when Dave practically legs it from the car before letting himself in, shutting the front door behind him.
James just takes a deep breath, lets his forehead rest against the wheel. He really should go in there and apologise. He knows he should. But then he remembers Dave’s face when Junior had hugged him and all of a sudden he feels angry again.
He slams the truck door before going inside, finding Dave chugging a beer in the front room.
Dave finally looks at him, though his expression is off, something James can’t place.
“Come to say sorry?”
James breathes a laugh through his nose, condescending and brutal.
“Like fuck I am.”
Dave’s jaw goes rigid and he crushes the beer in his hand before throwing it to the floor.
“What’s your fucking problem?”
“My problem?” James starts, stepping forwards. “I wasn’t the one eye fucking someone else all night.”
Dave just looks confused, but it’s like a red rag to a bull.
“What the fuck’s that supposed to mean?”
James grits his teeth.
“It means you spent the night wishing you were fucking someone else.”
Dave scoffs then, finally catching on.
“Is this about Junior?”
James doesn’t reply but Dave steps forwards anyway, getting right in his face.
“You think because I spoke to someone other than you that I must want to fuck them?”
“He’s your ex,” James points out but Dave just makes an irritated noise, hand tugging at his hair.
“From a fucking decade ago,” Dave shouts, hands coming up to tug at the lapels of James’s jacket.
“You didn’t fucking tell me.”
“I don’t think I’d have to,” Dave replies.
Their chests are pressed against each other and Dave’s breath is hot on James’s face.
“You think I’d have picked Junior over you, don’t you?” Dave says after a moment, though his voice has a soft edge to it.
“Don’t you hear how delusional that sounds?”
“It doesn’t seem that delusional with the way you touched each other,” James replies and Dave seethes, pushing him back into the wall behind him. Dave keeps his body flush to James, fists turning white in his jacket as he presses him into the wall.
“It was a fucking hug. Get over yourself.”
James can’t help it then when he smashes their lips together. Their teeth clack and Dave makes a confused noise, though his grip on James doesn’t let up.
The kiss is brutal but eventually Dave opens his mouth, lets James taste him, their tongues swirling together. James’s hands dig bruises into Dave’s waist before Dave finally pulls away, gripping James’s chin between his fingers.
“I can’t fucking believe you,” Dave sneers, but he kisses James again anyway. It’s dominant and hungry, and James finds he’s struggling to keep up.
When they pull away, James finally gets his feet under him again and abruptly switches their positions, hearing Dave’s back smack against the wall.
He noses at Dave’s jaw, hearing his chest heave, before forcing a leg between his thighs.
Dave unconsciously rubs down against his thigh, and James smirks, reaching up to grip onto red hair.
“Now, you’re gonna cum on my cock and my cock only, got it?”
“Fuck you,” Dave spits breathlessly. James yanks on his hair, liking the soft groan he gets in response.
“No one’s ever gonna fuck you as good as I do,” James says, reaching down with his other hand to palm Dave through his jeans. He doesn’t know where this newfound confidence is coming from, but it pulses inside him with every bout of anger.
Dave’s eyes roll back before he regains himself, still defiant as ever.
“Fuck. You,” he manages, ending on a whimper as James presses especially hard over the head of his cock.
“What was that?”
James presses down harder and Dave whines, bucking against the heel of his palm.
James smirks, leaning forwards to trace his tongue over the curve of Dave’s jaw.
“You’re mine, Dave. All fucking mine,” James murmurs, possessiveness leaking into his words as he punctuates them with a kiss, feeling Dave practically sag in his arms, and it’s then that he realises that Dave must really want otherwise he would’ve left him at that party and gone with Junior instead.
“I already know that,” Dave bites out. “Fucking your fault for ever doubting me.”
James flattens his hand against Dave’s clothed cock before reaching up, pressing his palm against Dave’s jaw.
“Maybe you shouldn’t have made me so jealous.”
Dave scoffs, fingers leaving bruises on James’s waist.
“Fuck you.”
“I think you’ll find it’ll be me fucking you,” James replies, ghosting his lips over Dave’s before dragging his bottom lip between his teeth.
It makes Dave writhe a little, humping down onto James’s thigh.
“Get a fucking grip, Hetfield,” Dave spits, though his hands claw at James’s back, egging him on.
“Oh I intend to,” James says, tracing his teeth down over Dave’s Adam’s Apple.
“But first I’m gonna fuck you until you can’t walk.”
Dave moans slightly, finally giving in.
“Hurry up then.”
James smirks.

Wait actually about scum villain I wanna put my review of it down bc I did end up caving several months ago and like sooorta read it so I’d at least have some idea what ppl were talking about and I do like a lot of the fanart of it I see. Basically I really just skimmed it and it was so incredibly mid that I couldn’t tell you like anyones names off the top of my head except the main ones, or like 60% of what happened and I just never had the motivation to write a review about it, but I do now ig and I love complaining/reviewing things so yeah.
Idk how to put a read more on the mobile app lmao but anyway
Like tbh 80% of it was kind of boring or made me uncomfortable so really I did just skim a lot of it but I did have fun with the other 20% lol ig.. but to start with the bad.. like you know I hate teacher student relationships so for really a lot of the bingqiu scenes I was skimming and pretending that all it was was just platonic. Like I do like sqq I think he’s funny and I know he’s too dense to figure out that he’s not straight but reading him call lbh (his 14 years old student!!!) a little sheep all the time and babying him and then knowing how it goes just! Makes me uncomfy! Like not everything has to be a romance and it would be much more interesting and not weird to me if this wasn’t a romance between them, even if they only get together when they’re both adults. And don’t even get me started on lbh. Like again. I like him. But he is just a walking red flag like I don’t think there’s anything wrong with writing characters who aren’t like. Healthy perfect people obviously but just idk I don’t like, think it’s cute or funny or whatever to have a character be like you’re mine and no one else’s and that possessiveness is just treated as a joke and something for sqq to just have to accept in the end. And a lot of the scenes that didn’t make me uncomfortable I was just so incredibly bored. If you asked me what happened in any given arc I could honestly not really tell you 80% of the time.
Now let’s get into the ✨misogyny ✨ like I know that’s a given with this genre and author but it’s still annoying. Like I was prepared to really like the little demon girl and the girl with the veil and the other girls but they were just like. There ig. Like HONESTLY….. the best female character imo was lbhs mom and she wasn’t even PRESENT in the actual story. But anyway. One thing that annoyed me is, that they only have one (1) female sect leader, and one (1) female head disciple in the 12 peaks, but they don’t even have the dignity of competing against men to gain these positions, mxtx does the cowardly thing and just makes them heads of an all female sect. All the other sects, which are presumably coed (tho iirc nyy is the ONLY female disciple of sqqs sect and I don’t remember there ever being any female disciples of Jiang cheng 1.0’s sect) are all led by men and their best disciples are boys. It’s so incredibly lazy and annoying. And this female sect isn’t even ranked highly on the peaks either. Like what’s the ranking criteria and why are they ranked so low? Huh? Mxtx? Like I get this is a satire of a really bad stallion novel but seriously? Mxtx? You couldn’t even include one female character in a position of power without also being a servant/subordinate/lower ranked to some men? And Because like that demon girl was leader of that demon invasion or whatever but the impression I got was that she was impulsive and stupid to do that anyway and she’s just a subordinate to like lbh and mbj like I didn’t even get the impression that she was that important. And I’m not saying with this that all female characters have to be ~girlbosses~ like I know that’s not the pinnacle of feminist writing and I don’t WANT everyone to be “girlbosses”, like I love Jiang yanli, despite her not being “powerful” and I think what little story she had was very nice up until her dumb fridging, but like it’s just showing that the only female leaders there are are leaders over other women ONLY. But like basically. None of these female characters had any like story to me they were just THERE. (Except lbhs mom she was rly cool but even in that case still). Oh also like the funniest 🙄 thing was when they went into so much detail during that little tournament thing they had during the demon invasion of the male fights and then they made the two girls fight against eachother (because god forbid a girl fight against a guy and win) and all that was said about it was like.. it wasn’t interesting at all so moving on.
Also the constant feminizing of sqq. Like again. I know that’s a given with this genre but it’s still so ugly and homophobic.
Now the WORST offender. That™️ sex (read: rape) scene. No. Bye. Completely skipped as soon as I realized what was going on. Spiritually barfing the entire time. While I do think Getting Possessed By Evil Sword And Slowly Being Corrupted And Goingb Crazy is extremely fun to read YOU DID NOT HAVE TO MAKE IT SEXUAL. IM GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU MXTX. Anyway. Moving on.
And to the things I liked. in no particular order:
1) lbhs family and backstory: I rly liked the story of his parents. Tho the dad is. A really bad dad if you can consider him a dad at all, but he’s interesting due to his relationship with lbhs mom and his love of humans in the past, (and also how he cares for snek guy hehe) which turned into bitterness when lbhs mom seemingly betrayed him, but then it was revealed that she really did love him and sacrificed herself to save lbh. Like I’m not a fan of the dead mom trope in general but I did really like her and idk this particular story just clicked with me more than others ig idk why. I liked it. And also since the dad demon was so absent from lbhs life up until then to me he just seemed like another antagonist instead of another Abusive Dad™️ Character, who I always hate lol. Kinda like how I see darth Vader you know? He wasn’t a good dad but I wouldn’t really consider him a dad at all tbh? Anyway yeah I liked those I think.
2) moshang. Okay I went into this liking moshing from all the fanart and the idea of god marrying the dude he created in the image of the perfect guy while being a weird little hamster of a man himself is super funny, also the demon tits, anyway idk where I was going with that, but! I was rather disappointed that they were barely in the book. I was ALSO disappointed but not surprised to read that mbj was actually physically abusive towards sqh. Though, and I’m gonna be honest because I might not have read this super in depth and I might be misremembering things, but! There’s a but. The impression I got? Was that that’s just how demons treated subordinates? So it wasn’t really something personal at the time? It’s shitty of course and there’s no excuse for it but it didn’t have the same connotations to me as two people in a relationship would have and one was physically abusive then. And after sqh finally said enough and walked away, it seemed to me that mbj realized he fucked up and tried to be better? And I feel like all this happened before there was any feelings exchanged on mbjs end. Tho maybe I’m dreaming that up bc as im writing this it seems to good to be true for an mxtx book lmfaooooo. But anyway. I do still kinda have a bias towards them. Just because hulking powerful intimidating demon man marrying a weird little guy™️ who also happens to be God is SOOOOO funny to me
3) punishment protocol - that was fucked up bro. Next
4) system and sqq - hilarious. Next.
5) repairing relationships that were originally sucky in the pidw thing. Idk it makes me feel good. Like sqq stumbling across Jiang cheng 1.0 in qi deviation and accidentally saving him and now Jiang cheng 1.0 is like. I Will Now Die For You. Heh. Idk I like stories of loyalty and where people are able to get along.
6) going deeper into the pidw characters and how the sqq just totally ensued up fixing what was wrong with the pidw book and with his fix-it, it ended up being something that sqh could be proud of and what he originally wanted to write but didn’t because of the pressures of the audience. I thought that part of the ending was very satisfying and wrapped up nicely
7) the chase/fight in that tomb and the coffin thing. The suspense of that part was fun
8) snek!! He was cute
9) and of course.. airplane bro and cucumber bro. I love them. Everything about them. They’re such clowns.
Anyway 4/10 at best probably bye

i’ve finished skybound. hoooo boy. you know how this goes. s6 you are. a season.
after the finale i can 100% understand why people have mixed feelings abt skybound
there were. A Lot of things i liked. the beginning was a bit slow (again) (maybe i need to understand what “rising action” means) but once jay encountered nadakhan it really picked up from the sheer “what the fuck just happened” factor that kept me watching in morbid curiosity.
this season feels like. an apology letter to nya, for how she’s treated in earlier seasons. there’s the media aspect of her being viewed as “the girl ninja” by the general public that feels deliberately meta, and i think this is. generally done well? to a degree. in a lot of her statements on this nya comes across in a very “not like other girls” way, but the intent to do good with this is still there.
a detail i really liked is that everyone keeps ther s5 gi, but nya is the odd one out design wise, since hers takes inspo from the s1 zx (?) gi. i REALLY liked that she only gets a matching gi in episode 8, which is when she is (for once, finally) emotionally honest with jay, about how frustrated she is at her lack of agency. she’s always been this way, but following her tough independant girl persona (likely put on out of this frustration, and a want to not be defined by men) she’s never honest with her feelings to any of the guys before this (most felt in s3, lmao). it’s only here, when she chooses to be one of the ninja that she’s truly part of the group, which is symbolized through her changing outfits to match them.
this. goes downhill from there. the finale is urghhhhrhrh. so. we have this arc about independance, about putting up false fronts out of frustration, of wanting to not be defined by others. and what happens? she gets fucking fridged. are you kidding. the whole marriage plot just feels yikes to watch (though nya shares that feeling, lmao) and i think it would’ve been wayyyy better if it didn’t succeed, but that’s not climatic enough, i guess. nooooo, we have to completely rob nya of agency that she clawed for the past two seasons so jay can dramatically save her. feminist statement alright. like. oh my god. they were doing so good and then THAT. nya gets to deal the final blow to the big bad in s5 by herself and now she gets brainwashed. even the s2 finale did her better than this.
like cmon man.
LIKE YOU WERE DOING SO GOOD addressing how nya has been treated and how this is unfair and how she deserves more than to be kai’s sister or jay’s girlfriend and THENNN.
moving on.
jay this season. i love him. i’m going to hit him with a hammer. the anxiety disorder rep i deserve. jay has anxiety i have anxiety. i know this.
HE’S SOOOO. GODDDD. again (gestures at episode 4). it’s nice to have the general undercurrents of his character brought to the forefront like this. he was never over nya he was never over his upbringing. he’s always been self-conscious and to have this go soo disastrously wrong is tasty material. episode 4 killed me in my sleep i was so baffled. my guy retconed his own backstory (perhaps?? i remember reading he actually IS adopted regularly too but no one tells him abt it) and it’s so fucked up man. that moment is soo  fucked up. i love it.
the one v one scenes of nadakhan with the ninja were reaaaally good. suspenseful and total trainwrecks. he totally just bamboozled kai and it was fun to watch zane fail to outwit him (because he forgot pixal is a separate person from himself rip. wait pixal technically also gets fridged this season-). man those scenes were just FUN.
also nadakhan calling him out and then ed calling him out on hiding behind his jokes and how jay has always been the super anxious pessimistic one despite being the comic relief. again. anxiety disorder if you get it you get it.
it’s vry nice to see chivalry at the cost of women’s agency portrayed as cringe loser behaviour that jay needs to get over. again ep8 is the highlight of the season i think. it really gave both nya and jay a place to shine. nya going “It’s my future too” is SOOO GOOD. jay learns to really listen to nya and what she wants and she’s honest to him and herself that she still does want to be with him and he still wants to be with her and it’s sweet. the reversal at the end where she protects him plays into it well but (gestures at finale and clenches teeth)
other things. i thought ep9 where jay assembles a crew of sidecharacters was cool and sweet. i liked seeing those bozos again, and jay having confidence in himself thanks to his dad telling him off. good moment.
the jay / cole friendship this season. SUPERB. they are BESTIES. cole is just super supportive of jay. i love that. i’m really glad that s4 just ironed that out for good. “I’m not just his friend, I’m his best friend.” GOOD SHIT MAN. they had a LOT of great moments like cole being the first to see when jay’s hiding his encounter with nadakhan. “I know you too well” GOOD SHIT MAN!!!!!!! LOVE THIS DYNAMIC!!!
THE LOVE TRIANGLE IS DEAD I CHEER FOR IT’S DEMISE. cole flat out has forgotten about it which is hilarious. he forgot “what got between jay and nya”. bro it was YOUUUUU. well whatever good for him.
lloyd getting tomorrow’s tea x2 was a really fun gag and smart choice to have him be the cryptic advice character. also he looks exactly like his dad. fun times.
i liked the development of nadakhan’s crew. they really just wanted a home, and not power or whatever. i think it’s fun to compare jay and clancey (?) since they’re kinda similar. clancey is the stuttery blabbering comic relief of the crew, similar to jay, but clancey is more undervalued for it. it being clancey specifically who secures the black widow’s poison and tells it to jay feels significant here, since that way clancey and jay both gaining confidence in themselves and their own value mirrors each other.
nya is fun to compare to dogshank (is that how you spell it?) for their couple scenes explicitly doing so. “We fight like girls, not like cowards!” that’s a good line. dogshank is kinda like how nya becomes, situation wise. dogshank is well respected in her group, she has her own thing going, being the strong burly one (atypical depiction of femininity! nice touch! similar to how nya is kinda butch as hell ngl), but dogshank is still proud of being a woman, and not afraid to show it (see that one scene where she’s playing harp.) feels significant for this comparison that it’s dogshank who manages to ultimately capture nya.
twas fun how nadakhan’s crew turned against him cuz he just did not give a shit about them lol. like how clancy loved his position, low as it may have been, and never wanted a wish. this complacency is shattered when he’s forced to make a wish, and he realized he was never valued at all by nadakhan. flintlock (godddd how do you spell these fuckers) is also cool in how the fuckin. psychosomatic. properties of wishes are explained (his aim sucks now because he believes it sucks now). ALSOO how the seeds of doubt came up through jay telling the truth and essentially copying nadakhan’s underhanded negotiation tactics to fuck with flintlock. THAT was also a cool scene i liked it.
to summarize. episodes 1-3. kinda meh. episodes 4-8. really good. season finale. bro what are you doing <3 clumsy but well intentioned handling of feminist themes that fall short because the finale plays into long established sexist tropes. ending the season on jay and nya kissing being broadcast on television after it was public perception that made nya bury her feelings seems kinda bad taste, though. anway. i’m going to sleep.

Week in Review
01/21/2024 – 01/27/2024
Sunday
Manga Sunday is back in full swing and to start us off, it’s Girl Meets Rock! Nice to know that gay people exist in this story, and the art is still super charming. I like how bad Hatocchi’s band is, but it feels like we’ll soon cross over into “chasing your dreams and being rewarded for it” territory so it won’t be exactly what I was looking for…but I’ll stick around and see how it goes.
Undead Unluck was super good, as usual. I love getting these little hints about what each Master Rule is, and the main guy is particularly interesting.
An interesting dissection of parasociality in the latest Oshi no Ko chapter… Truly, Ai and all celebrities like her are made up of the perceptions of everyone else in the world, which leaves little room for their true selves. Not to mention the purity streak of the Japanese idol industry… I’m glad Ruby is eking out her own way in contrast to her mom, though, and understanding why Kana did what she did. Hopefully everyone will be alright by the end…
Dandadan: Oh, so that’s Zuma’s design… I mean, it’s certainly different from the other boys, but I don’t know if I necessarily like it. It’s mostly his hair that I think is a little stupid lol but his personality’s fun, it’s about time we got a stoic guy in the group. I’m pretty fatigued with all these “oh no we lost the ball again” shenanigans but whatever, I’m just looking forward to when this arc ends and Zuma joins the friend group.
Magilumiere was fine, I wish Shigemoto developed his own feminine style instead of just emulating that clearly fridged woman from his flashback, but oh well.
One Piece was great, this is the most I’ve been invested in the manga in ages. I’m glad Kuma has a chance at survival and this Buster Call feels like an exciting and exhilarating end to the Egghead arc.
SpyFam was…okay. The side characters trying to lean into the Detective Conan-esque murder mystery and the protagonists’ overpowered abilities thwarting that immediately made for some decent comedy, but nothing too special.
CIPHER ACADEMY IS SO GOOD… THE PUN ON MORG/MORGUE BUT IT ALSO HAVING THEMATIC RELEVANCE… THE CALLBACK TO THE FIRST CODE IN THE SERIES… THE AMAZING FULL CIRCLE TETE-A-TETE BETWEEN IROHA AND TOSHUSAI… YOSAIMURA GETTING ANON’S CHAIR FOR HER LIKE A TRUE GENTLEMAN… NOHIME’S ONE POINT LESSON… TOSHUSAI FINISHING FIRST JUST LIKE BEFORE, BUT IROHA PUTTING HIS OWN SPIN ON IT BECAUSE HE CARES ABOUT TOSHUSAI’S PRIVACY… USING CODES/DUPLICITY FOR A GOOD CAUSE… TOSHUSAI’S SMILE AND IRORINNNNNNNNNNN AND THE CAESAR CODE AND THE CAESAR STATUE AND AHHHHH OUR BOY’S THE EMPEROR!!!! The statue’s shield being a cipher wheel is so cute… I really hope this is just the beginning but not the end, but even if it isn’t, I’m satisfied with this triumphant conclusion…probably. I’ll be really heartbroken when Cipher ends because I love reading it every week…
I checked out the first episode of High Card… My history with this franchise is somewhat interesting (to me, anyway) – I followed this one Japanese artist on Twitter for their Yowamushi Pedal fanart way back in the day, and over the years they’ve become an actual character designer in the anime industry. High Card is one of their projects, so I’ve been hearing about it for a while… And recently they announced a stage play adaptation starring one of the guys I like from A3! and one of the girls I like from Revue Starlight, so I figured I’d finally get around to watching the anime to see if the rest of the franchise is worth checking out. All that preamble aside, I stopped watching the episode about eight minutes in LMAO My suspicions that they wouldn’t be able to capture the character designer’s style in animation were confirmed, and the story is just a juvenile mess… As a kid I literally wrote stories about fantasy kingdoms based on the different card suits, and here it’s being presented in all seriousness with haphazard style and zero substance. I didn’t look into anything beforehand, so I had the impression it was some sort of crime drama with a dash of heist shenanigans? But the magic element is just too goofy and nonsensical to take seriously. I don’t know, maybe I’ll still check out the stage play because they’ll have singing and acrobatics, but the anime will be a hard pass from me.
With the Twitter timeline abuzz with the news of more Monogatari, I figured it was as good a time as any to actually watch the whole series and catch up before the new anime starts. I first watched Bakemonogatari as a kid and didn’t really get it, but after I fell in love with Cipher Academy I wanted to get into more of Nisioisin’s work, so I rewatched Bake and had a fun time. Today I finally started chipping away at the movies, and I watched Kizumonogatari: Tekketsu. What I liked the most about Bake, and Monogatari in general, was the unique and heavy sense of mood and atmosphere that I haven’t really seen in any other anime. The surreal and almost liminal locations, the odd and staged way characters move through them, the unique directorial flourishes we now call SHAFT-isms, I really vibe with all of it. The story itself hasn’t gotten far enough for me to get attached to anyone yet, but we’ll see how that goes as I work my way through the series. This first movie was a fun dive back into Monogatari mode and all its eccentricities, even if the story felt like it was moving painfully slow at times. But the walk down into the station and the slow lead-up to Kiss-shot was great.
Monday
Shamefully, I must admit that I read Vtuber Confucius. It’s a deeply stupid premise that’s not even executed that well, and once they started shoehorning in other philosophical teachings as Vtubers I truly lost interest. This is something that should’ve been a shitpost Tweet at the most.
Things in Oni to Tengoku got resolved a lot quicker than I’d thought – I was definitely expecting a dramatic rescue by Manabu, but I can also get down with Oni to Tengoku’s usual realist approach. The way that the story uses these conventions to actually explore the main couple’s relationship in depth is what’s really engaging… The high schooler had a nice bit of a characterization too, with all the trappings of insecurity that come with a high school romance. What I love most of all about Oni to Tengoku is how a lot of things go unsaid/communicated non-verbally and are presented through illustrations alone – I feel like most manga tend to have their characters over-explain things, as if the mangaka isn’t confident that their drawings are conveying what they want to convey, but Oni to Tengoku lays it all bare and leaves it up to interpretation. And the drawings are so gorgeous in the first place, too… I love just how this work uses the medium to the fullest. I’m really looking forward to seeing how Manabu responds to Aoki’s proposal.
A Second Goodbye to You: Lol oh nooo the university student got stabbed to save Hiroki huh oh nooo whatever shall he do? Yeah I’m just sticking with it to see how it ends at this point.
Next I tried reading this BL called OΣG!!! = Oh My God =, and while I like the art style, the compositions and character designs are just such a busy mess that I didn’t want to read any further.
I finished reading Akuheki volume 3…and it’s really good… I love how this BL started off seeming like a dark BDSM sex manga, but it’s become a genuine exploration of how trauma can shape your beliefs and affect your relationships as an adult… ALSO, THE EX JUST HAVING A SIDEPLOT BL PREMISE WITH THE COWORKER????? I really respect the mangaka for actually going there because it’s sooooo funny (but also cute! And had thematic relevance!). The detailed look at Kojima’s backstory was so chilling and illuminating – it’s dramatic, but in a way where it still feels believable, and you can really get a sense of why Kojima turned out the way he did. I’m sure that he and Daimon can work their twisted relationship out somehow, but it’ll take some effort.
Last on my BL binge today was this manga called We Won’t Call It Love, and it looks like it’ll be an angsty ride. It’s interesting to start the main couple off with one of them just starting a comphet marriage while the other realizes his feelings, but we’ll see how it goes.
Tuesday
I don’t know what’s going on with Amazon Prime, but I guess sometimes they just lie to you about what’s leaving the platform because Downton Abbey’s back after a short absence from the service. It’s all the typical soap opera shenanigans with a dash of war drama, but it’s fine as background noise. As ever I feel really bad for Edith, and as ever the sense of time is so weird in this show…one scene Ethel’s announced that she’s pregnant and the very next she’s already had the baby. I loved that little scene where Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes talk about his move to be with Lady Mary, I think Hughes is the only person who could call Mary a minx in Carson’s presence and not be reprimanded for it. Their closeness to each other is so sweet and comforting. I’m annoyed that the show tends to cheat on the difficult decisions facing the characters by having the problems resolve themselves, like “Patrick” leaving on his own or Matthew’s legs miraculously healing or Lavinia conveniently dying. I almost wish the Lord Grantham and Jane plotline had gone on for longer – I find master/maid stories to have a more interesting dynamic than lady/servant ones. And given how morally upright Lord Grantham’s been up to this point, it was fun to see him engaging in some actions that torture his conscience.
Chainsaw Man good.
Wednesday
I guess ghosts are now canon in Downton Abbey? It’s a little lame that they drudged up Lavinia’s corpse to bless Mary and Matthew’s marriage with a blank slate of morality but whatever. It’s also a little lame that they’ve written in a new thing for them to argue about all season but also whatever. Thomas and O’Brien’s hater alliance finally collapsing is funny, at least. I’ve noticed that on Downton, they tend to leave a lot of important moments implied/off-screen, like characters telling each other information or even things like Matthew and Mary actually saying “I do” to each other at the altar. It feels like some lost opportunities.
Wow they really can’t stand Edith getting even a moment of happiness, huh? Mary gets all the bells and whistles and the whole town cheering for her as she drives up to the church for her wedding, meanwhile Edith gets left at the altar… Also I’m just now remembering that Carlisle’s threat has yet to come into light…I hope it does, because otherwise that’ll be another bullet that the Crawleys dodge by deus ex machina and make all that tension surrounding Mary’s conundrum a moot point (lol I looked it up. Guess it was all for nothing). God the Swires are just tools to absolve the living of all their guilt, huh? Sure, they’ll get to hem and haw about it for a couple scenes to cause drama, but then the hand of Swire reaches down and clears them of all their hang-ups so that they can do what’s most convenient for them anyway. Meanwhile, Anna and Bates’ romance is so filled with misery after misery that I’m actually getting bored of it. Branson is also majorly getting on my nerves, and I don’t really buy his and Sybil’s relationship.
…I’ve been complaining a lot, so I will say that the Mrs. Hughes cancer scare plotline ended very cutely, with Carson being relieved about her health. Those two are really the highlight of the show for me. And I’ll also say that I’ve been enjoying Thomas’ slow redemption arc from gay villain to mischievous over-achieving failgay (girl why did you think the black market thing would work…or the dog thing…).
God it’s so ghoulish and stomach-churning to watch the doctors argue while Sybil’s pregnant when you know what’s about to happen… Oh I just thought of another thing that annoys me about this show lol but by and large it feels like people catch feelings each other for literally no reason other than the writers want them to. Whenever a new character enters the scene they always have a knowing glance at their prospective paramour so that we in the audience know that they’re going to have relations, but there’s seemingly no rhyme or reason to why the characters are attracted to each other in the first place other than physical attraction, I guess, but that’s such a shallow basis to a relationship. It really feels like the writers know they want certain characters to date but have no idea how to actually naturally lead them there, so it just jumps to them declaring their love for each other when we’ve barely seen them hold a conversation or have any sort of dynamic or romantic chemistry.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been slowly working my way through the A3! Blooming Live 2022 livestreams and having a grand old time hearing the seiyuu’s actual voices, and I’ve finally finished them today. As suspected, Tasuku Hatanaka and Shunsuke Takeuchi are the steadiest of the bunch, and their duet was so amazing… Kentarou Kumagai and Toshiyuki Toyonaga were other stand outs, and I have to commend Chiharu Sawashiro for hitting those Bb4’s in chest voice (!!!??) and Daisuke Hirose for doing all that actual dance choreo on top of singing. Junta Terashima also made me emotional with Hisoka’s solo, Shake the Shape and Road to Manjuu Master were incredibly hype, and Tooi makes me cry everytime. My only gripe was with Shintarou Asanuma…he didn’t sing half of his lines…they just played the recording while he passionately lip synced…it was especially painfully obvious in his duet with Chiharu, which just ended up sounding like a solo song… It’s just so jarring when Chiharu is literally singing his heart out while Shintarou is miming… I wonder if he had some throat issues…? But they would’ve had to prepared all this audio in advance so like?? I don’t know, maybe he had other circumstances, but this was a really disappointing showing for me. The live as a whole was fun, though, and it’s was funny to catch all the errors they made that got covered up in the Blu-ray version.
Finally, after months of stalling, I’m bringing back Movie Roulette……….but for my ever growing list of live shows instead. Today’s selection was Liyuu’s koii concert tour, and I watched the Shanghai leg because of course I did. It’s really funny to hear her talk to the audience in Chinese, as it’s a lot different from the kind of semi-prepared MC you’d get in a Japanese idol concert. She’s truly going off the cuff here, and the venue is small enough that the audience is yelling stuff at her and she can respond right back. Liyuu’s a lot more brusque in Chinese – it’s like a special side of her that only we Chinese fans get. The concert itself was cute, it introduced me to two Chinese songs of hers I hadn’t heard anything about?? And they were both bangers too… I was also impressed by her pitch control – her tone isn’t always my favourite, but at least she can usually hit the notes.
Thursday
As I’m finishing Downton season 3 this morning, I wanted to gather my thoughts before watching more. Overall, a fairly dark season, huh? I know it was the actors’ decision to leave the show, but having Sybil and Matthew die right after each other was a huge shock when I watched it for the first time, and it’s dreadful watching it happen all over again now. And then we had Bates in jail for most of the season, Anna miserable, Edith left at the altar only for them to write in yet another older gentleman who loves her but can’t be with her “for her own good”, Thomas failing every scheme he concocts and being subject to homophobia, Downton nearly going bankrupt…it seems like no one on this show can ever catch a break.
Despite all my griping about the writing on this show, I do care for a lot of the characters… Thomas and Mary have become so soft and sympathetic despite their slyness, and Edith has really endeared herself to me in how she tries to strive forward on her own path. (Strangely, I remember liking Anna and Bates on my first watch, but now their relationship bores me).
I will say though, season 4 hasn’t been impressing me thus far, as I don’t really care about any of the storylines… I don’t care about Mary tussling with her dad over how to run Downton, I don’t care about the love square between the footmen and the kitchen maids, I hate what they’ve done with Anna, Edna is annoying as hell and just another carbon copy “evil woman character” and I had to look her up on the wiki to make sure that she’ll be gone soon, I don’t care about Mary or Tom finding new romance, I Really don’t care about Rose, and I don’t really care about Edith’s romance either (the editor guy has as much personality as a paper bag)… It’d be faster to say what I am interested in, and that’s Carson/Hughes and Thomas, I guess. Hmmm okay I think I do also care about Mary and Tom’s awkward little friendship/in-law relationship, since they have some stuff in common now. And Tom’s definitely lost his edge after everything that’s happened, so he’s become more likeable in my eyes. I also like the elderly trio, as Violet and Isobel’s rivalry/begrudging friendship is always fun, and Dr. Clarkson provides some valuable wisdom to the ladies when they need to be knocked down a peg or two. Plus, after Dr. Clarkson’s weird little failed proposal to Isobel, I can’t help but read him as still interested in her, which adds some nice flavour to their interactions.
Took a break from Downton to travel to DunMesh. God it’s so good to eat food while watching this show. The episode was perfectly serviceable, but it’s a testament to Kui’s writing and considered world building that it’s still fun and engaging throughout.
Okay back to complaining about Downton. Rose is so annoying…with all the tragedies and serious problems going on in this house, her teenage fancies are so grating… I like Jack Ross, but I don’t care about their relationship, and also the actor’s American accent is so stilted that I can’t take him seriously. Great singing, though! It’s so funny that Thomas is still being vaguely threatening even though he’s just asking Baxter to keep an eye out for information. It’s not like he can do anything with most of it anyway. (God if Thomas, Violet, and Mary ever interacted…category 9 motherquake on the cunter scale).
Friday
New episode of Undead Unluck! Despite it being a pretty major turning point, the episode itself was just sort of perfunctory, with some odd janky animation here and there. I can only hope that the production team took it easy on these episodes in preparation for the big fight coming up (if I’m remembering correctly…?)
Also watched episode 15 of Kusuriya, and the first half was just fine and unnoteworthy, but once Lakan entered the scene I liked how they tried to vary up the visual style and compositions. This stretch of mysteries is just a little boring to me, though, so I’m not really looking forward to it.
Drag Race was also pretty uneventful – I never care for the improv challenges, but Plasma, Nymphia, and Sapphira’s skit was fun (actual singing and three-part harmony on Drag Race…wow). I don’t think Mirage should’ve lip synced…a really heartbreaking elimination.
Saturday
Weeks later, I’ve finally read another chapter of Strange Beasts of China by Yan Ge and…it looks like my quest for an adult fiction book I enjoy is still unfruitful. The beasts themselves are decently interesting and I love cryptozoology, but I don’t like or care about the narrator and the romantic stuff they have going on, and their investigations are pretty shallow and boring. There just aren’t any real stakes for me to get invested in, and the writing feels so lethargic. I long for a book where things actually happen. (Meanwhile, every BookTuber I come across is recommending their 500th character-driven introspective study on the human condition and I’m sick of it!!! Where are the books with plots!!!!)

Matcha Nama Choco
Tumblr media
It’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow! This is the… [checks numbers] seventeenth one I’ve celebrated with my husband lmao so there’s not much we haven’t done in terms of gifts. However, he is normally the maker of things, and I’ve never made chocolates! I keep seeing Nama Chocolate on a lot of the Japanese food blogs I follow so I decided to go full anime love interest and give my crush handmade honmei choco.
I was going to do normal dark chocolate ones but then I saw this recipe on my go-to jp recipes blog and I’m like a magpie, I’m always going to choose the shiny new thing. Plus hubs loves green stuff and matcha, which is a handy as otherwise I’d have to eat them all myself. Oh no…
I ordered a cute new tin (PINK!) that’s exactly the right size rather than compromising like I normally do, and turfed the kids out of the house with my mum. Having all this dairy around the kitchen puts me on edge so it’s good to be able to get it done and everything cleaned up before the allergic kid gets home. I also gave him a pack of dairy free white chocolate buttons since he was eyeing up the Lindt with such a sad face.
Tumblr media
Putting together these photos I realised that I bought the wrong white chocolate lol, so we’ll see how that turns out! This is Lindor that has a melty centre. Don’t be like me, buy the right stuff. I did not have a tantrum though—I remained calm and collected throughout, which is progress for me.
Tumblr media
I was wondering why it was so soft and easy to cut… ahhhh hopefully it’ll still set haha.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Melty melty sifty sifty. It looked like it was about to separate while I was stirring but it came together!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I covered it in foil and put it in the fridge, which is kind of hopeless as he cooked dinner tonight and definitely knew I was up to something but never mind. Anyway, after he went to bed I got it out and sliced it all up! You wouldn’t believe how bloody satisfying that was. Ahhh, it was set firm but super smooth and buttery and it made such nice squares. LOOK AT THEM.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In order to dust them with more matcha I had to decant them into TWO containers that are in the fridge now, he’s gonna be so confused when he looks in the fridge tomorrow. They were so pretty all dusted and cubey! And yes, I did eat those trimmings. They were stupidly delicious. I’m gonna eat so many of these suckers tomorrow. 😤 Seems the Lindor was actually okay for these, perhaps normal white chocolate would be firmer but these are melty and perfect too.
Tumblr media
And there they are! My first ever homemade chocolates. 🥰 I wish I had a pretty box to put them in but I think I’ll just plate a few up on a sushi platter and present them like that. I’m sure he’ll be v happy.
Happy Valentine’s Day/Random Choco Tuesday! 💕💖💚

a/n: hi anon, i’ll do the basics of this request (being robby x sister!reader), but please read my rules more carefully. i dont take random dialogue prompts and i don’t care for “angst with some fluff” in requests
prompt: anonymous: “okay so can i please request a robby keene x sister!reader (head canon) with the prompt of “you could have died what were you thinking?” angst but fluff in the end!!”
Tumblr media
not getting along with robby very well…ever
which led to you living with your dad and him living with your mom
but still keeping in contact…usually
like meeting up for lunch to argue

“like dad’s any better. drinks beer all day and pisses in the hallway, real nice” -robby
“does mom even have a job?” -you
“why do we always do this?” -robby
“it was your idea to hang out” -you
skating together
and talking about your daily lives
which included his shitty friends
“they sound like creeps to me. how old are they?” -you

him convincing you to visit with your mom, but he would NEVER visit johnny. never.
“hi…mom” -you
“oh, hi, sweetie! it’s so good to see you! have you finally decided to come live with us?” -shannon
“nice try, robby just wanted me to stop by” -you
robby’s “friends” trey and cruz coming over to meet you and just being the worst about it
“damn, look at her. forget your mom, i’m going after your sister” -trey
“back off, man. she’s not interested in you, trust me” -robby
“i can stick up for myself, robby” -you
although you pretty much never got along, i guess you still cared about each other
in your own special way
robby: I left a bag of In n Out at your door since I figure dad doesn’t have anything in his fridge
y/n: well, you’re right about that. thanks.
every once in a while you’d suggest he lived with you guys
“i mean, dad still has your room open. it’s a little messy, but we’d clean it if you ever decided to come over” -you
“i’m fine where i am. plus, mom’s house doesn’t have a lot of rules” -robby
“oh, yes, it must be so great wasting your time doing drugs and ripping people off instead of getting an education. go mom.” -you
telling your dad about how your mom is running her house and your dad beginning to want robby with him and you
“it doesn’t surprise me, your mom was never the ‘authority’ type” -johnny
“i’m gonna pretend you didn’t say that” -you
joining cobra kai when your dad started it up and asking robby to join
which didn’t work out very well since he joined miyagi-do, run by your dad’s arch nemesis. couldn’t be a coincidence
and then your brother tried to convince you to join him instead
“you must be pretty dumb if you think i’d betray dad for you” -you
your dad always grilled you about robby and how he was doing
you got in a few arguments with robby during all of this and up until the tournament
and the thought of fighting him at the tournament was scary as all hell
“miguel?” -you
“yeah?” -miguel
“if it’s alright with you, i’m gonna throw our fight” -you
“yeah? don’t think you can handle me?” -miguel
“not exactly” -you, making eye contact with your brother across the room
running to the guys locker room when he gets injured
“ma’am you can’t be in here” -paramedic
“yes, i can. robby, are you okay?” -you
“sorry, who is this?” -daniel
“y/n lawrence, his sister” -you
“yeah, i’m fine. thanks. just messed my shoulder up a little” -robby
“real nice teammates you have” -daniel
“back off, man, i’m just making sure my brother’s okay. are you gonna be able to fight?” -you
“yeah, i think so. and i’ll give diaz hell for you. even though i could tell you threw that fight” -robby
“did not” -you
“you could have easily won that fight, i was watching” -robby
“yeah, yeah, whatever. good luck out there” -you
daniel was…surprised by you to say the least
“seems like she cares about you” -daniel
“more or less” -robby
silently cheering him on, despite the fact he was up against your dojo
“how was he?” -johnny
“he’s alright, his shoulder’s just a little messed up…said he knew i threw the match with miguel, though” -you
“haha, you got found out. you should have just gone for it, you could have gone up against your brother” -johnny
“that’s exactly why i let myself get eliminated” -you
giving robby a hug after he lost
“you did pretty good, robby. maybe next year” -you
“thanks, uh, we’re gonna go” -robby
“right, okay. take it easy. love you” -you “and bye mr. larusso” -you, bowing
robby and you didn’t talk for a little while and you were a little sad about, but you wanted to give him space
and after a while, you found out that he was living with daniel larusso
and your mom was missing
a lot of troubling information
“robby, why didn’t you call us? we would have let you stay with us in a heartbeat” -you
“yeah right, you haven’t texted or called me in over a month” -robby
“dude, i was trying to give you some space, i thought you were pissed off at me” -you
completely forgetting about that and going on a rant about your mom and how irresponsible she was and how you hated the way she treated her kids and her addictions and everything else
just letting it go that robby lives with daniel because you were glad he was getting on the right track in life
“just…dude. call me or something when you have a problem. i know we don’t always get along, but i don’t want you to think i wouldn’t give a shit if you were living alone without power. at least call me if you hear from mom. i don’t like that it’s been this long without hearing from her” -you
“alright, fine. i can live with that” -robby
by this point, none of the dojo knew you and robby were siblings
but you got in a few spats with him after hearing that cobra kai attacked miyagi-do
“what were you guys thinking?! stop going after them for no reason! you’re just making things worse!” -you
“they trashed us on yelp! we had to do something!” -hawk
“are you even hearing yourself? do you know how stupid you sound?” -you
it caused a bigger rift between you and robby
and when they found out that robby was your brother, they were pissed off at you and johnny
“so you threw that match at the all-valley because you didn’t want to go against your brother?” -miguel
“yeah, and what about it?” -you
“that’s not very ‘cobra kai’ of you” -hawk
robby refusing to return your messages until your mom resurfaced
y/n: can i please come over? no cobra kai, just me for a family thing
robby: Mr. LaRusso says it’s okay, here’s the address
you showed up pretty quick
and after talking to your mom about her plan for rehab, you felt pretty good about everything
“you okay?” -you
“i mean, not great, but i’m glad she’s gonna try to get better” -robby
“are, uh, you and larusso’s daughter dating?” -you
“shhhut up. shut up. stop talking. don’t let him hear you” -robby
“oh, my god, robby. that’s a horrible idea! you’re dating her behind his back?!” -you, whisper screaming
meanwhile…
“so, that’s robby’s sister? she doesn’t seem so bad” -amanda
“no, she doesn’t. she’s not like the other cobra kais. and she really cares about robby. apparently, she hates shannon, though” -daniel
“i mean, she has every right. look how she left robby. addict or not, there’s no excuse” -amanda
she seemed to think you were okay
eventually you left and didn’t hear much of anything from robby until the party. which was…a rough night
you hung out with him for a little while, apologized for the past few months, you cried a little, decided to go socialize with others
light drinking, nothing as bad as sam larusso, though
which went very downhill when the cops came
“y/n, is there any way we can stay with you and dad tonight? sam can’t go home like this, she just can’t” -robby
“i, uh—yeah, okay. come on, let’s go” -you “you can take my room, or your old one. she can borrow my old pajamas, too, just let me call dad”
you explained it all to johnny
“he asked you if he could come over?” -johnny
“yeah, so be cool about it” -you
“wait, were you drinking too?” -johnny
“a few beers, it was a party, after all. it’s not like i don’t sneak your beers” -you
“i knew that was you! i thought i was going crazy” -johnny
you knew it’d be a bad idea, though, and you were proved right when you hear someone banging on your front door
you, robby, and sam all looked terrified
and in a crazy, inevitable turn of events, robby finally lived with you and your dad
which didn’t last long after a fight broke out at school and robby completely disappeared an hour later
it took some time, but robby was found and arrested, which broke your heart enough for you to go visit your mom in rehab
“you know, i’m really proud of you for keeping yourself on the right path all these years. i’m just sorry i wasn’t there for you” -shannon
“thanks, mom. i’m glad you’re doing better” -you
“have you been able to visit robby yet?” -shannon
“no, they wouldn’t let me without a parent and since dad’s on parole, i’m screwed. but i’m gonna call him” -you
“sorry i can’t be of more help, i just couldn’t go somewhere like that right now” -shannon
“no, it’s okay. i understand” -you
obviously by now you’d been phased out of cobra kai
and an enemy of kreese
“keene, you have a phonecall” -juvie officer
“hello?” -robby
“hey, it’s y/n. i’m really sorry that i can’t visit, i tried, they just won’t let me in without a parent” -you
“why can’t mom or dad take you?” -robby
“dad’s on parole and mom can’t leave rehab without the risk of relapse. i hope it’s okay i’m calling” -you
“no, it’s fine. i’m glad you did” -robby
“how are you? i’m sure it sucks in there, but are you at least safe?” -you
“i’ve gotten into a few fights, but i can hold my own. is, uh, how’s miguel? is dad mad at me?” -robby
“miguel…it’s complicated. but i don’t think dad’s mad at you. he’s worried more than anything. and disappointed that he lost you so soon after you moved in” -you
sam contacting you against her father’s wishes to ask about robby
you ended up having a mini breakdown about him tbh
and all the cobra kai bullshit you were no longer participating in, but once things settled, you and your dad had the honor of founding (not your choice of name) eagle fang
and when robby got out, you were sort of shunned? just because you still associated with daniel and johnny. which really sucked for you after all the effort you made to let him know you were there for him.
it was a shock when you found out he was holed up in cobra kai, you even had to fight it out with him while johnny and kreese did the same
“after all this bullshit, you’re gonna choose cobra kai? is this just to get back at dad?” -you
“he’s never there for me! he’s always there for you! and miguel! what about me?!” -robby
“so you’re gonna let dad get in the way of our relationship? you keep trying to push me away and for what?! your daddy issues?!” -you
parting ways with robby and starting anew with danny and johnny’s combined dojos, but you almost didn’t want to. it’d be easier to just give up
but you kept on working for this tournament, it was the best way to go about it
until you heard there were separate brackets for the boys and girls, meaning you couldn’t fight your brother this time
but it might have been for the better
you were dying not being able to talk to robby, he dodged all your messages and calls. you even went to your mom’s apartment and he wouldn’t come see you
but by the tournament, you were full of rage from this family feud.
the only reason you didn’t go all the way to the finals was because you went up against sam, who needed to finish things with tory
“it’s okay. i threw my fight last year, i can do it again. you need this” -you
“thanks, y/n. for everything” -sam
cheering her on and being there for her when she lost
“it’s so weird noticing the similarities in you and robby” -sam
“yeah, we’re both assholes, for sure” -you
“both pretty funny, too” -sam
leaving with your dad to go home and noticing the old dojo is gone
and finding robby—er, robby finding you when you got there
and watching him seem to make up with your dad
“y/n, get in here” -johnny, with both him AND robby extending their arms to you
group hug :)
let’s hope everything turns out okay after this. please.
