Unwanted Soul _ Part 3 = Requested

[Yandere!Alastor x Owner of his Soul!Reader]

The Request

Part 1 — Part 2 — Part 2.5 (ask) — Part 3 (here) — Part 4 — Part 5

At first you allowed it because you understood Alastor was worried about you, as absurd as it was. Now it was plain annoying. Him requesting, no, that’s not the right word, forcing himself to be in the same bed as you. At first there was the excuse of you recovering and him not wanting you to roll over on you stomach to apply pressure to the wound. Then it was him not used to his new room. Now? He just flops onto the bed and hugs you no matter what you’re doing

“Do I look like a pillow to you???? Or a soft toy??????” “Darling, you are the best cloud ever.”

He doesn’t even mind you slapping the back of his head and snuggles closer to you. You gave up trying to escape his hold and continue with your reading or watching

It went as bad as to you needing a bigger bed since Alastor was always here with you. Alastor got you covered and gave you the best bed you could ever think of. You really just treated Alastor like one of your giant soft toys and slept, you’ll admit, listening to his heartbeat was more lulling than any other sounds. Your warmth and presence had the same effect to him

Oh, right. Alastor filled you in that you were in the hotel and you were occupying a room Alastor took for himself near his bedroom and radio tower. He connected your room with his, evident with the difference in style

You never seen his old room, but he did say he had half of the room as a bayou where he ate his meals. Yeah, he didn’t do that with you, never has he eaten a whole raw meat in front of you. This time though, it was just two different room styles on either way while the wall separating the two was gone. There was an extra door that replaced the window as a dimension to his feeding ground, you just never enter it

It happened out of the blue. When the room door opened and you thinking it was Alastor greeted him without looking. You noticed the lack of static or the obnoxiously loud announcement of his arrival, that’s when you looked up to see who you believe to be Husk from Alastor’s stories and reports

Before Husk knew what hit him, his neon green chains appeared and dragged him into the large room, the door closing and locking behind him. Husk landing on the ground looked up to see Alastor looming over him

You had to wack your memory to recall their relationship. Right, Husk was a former overlord of gambling and he lost his soul to Alastor in a bet to regain power. Poor choice of decision really. Why would you make deals with other Overlords that would want to knock you down? You looked away, thinking that it was none of your business how Alastor treated his souls, as long as he wasn’t like that to you

But your voice snapped Alastor out of whatever he was planning to the former Overlord, “Alastor, I’m craving some steak for tonight. Can you go to Rosie’s and get some nice ones?”

Of course Alastor knew you were giving Husk a save. Yet he can’t deny your request to have his cooking again. (you were binge eating snacks and cup noodles after your wound healed and didn’t want to eat his cooking) So he left into his shadows

Turning back to your laptop, you typed away for another new episode while Husk composed himself. You heard that sigh of relief, you knew Alastor was a cruel demon. You knew because he’d paint the streets red and black whenever sinners and demons alike would glance at you the wrong way, even worse when they said the wrong or vile things to you

“I’m curious, does anyone know I’m here?” “I know now.” “Mhm… You best leave before Alastor’s back and please don’t say anything. Else I’m positive you’d be wishing otherwise.” “Why are you here?” “I wonder too. Because of Alastor?”

You shouldn’t have phased it that way because Husk thought you were an innocent soul that Alastor took as well. That can’t be farther from the truth, but you let him believe as he please. Neither you nor Alastor wanted to disclose your hold over Alastor’s soul to anyone apart from the two of you. Perhaps you could play it like Alastor has your soul, that would make more sense. Maybe

Over dinner, you told Alastor that you’ll be making your appearance as his assistant in the hotel. That way it was reasonable to take the room next to his (that you are currently in) and you’d be always seen around Alastor (more like Alastor could always be near you). Alastor agreed without a second thought

He did added a little detail to your plan. That you two were romantically involved with each other. You shot that idea down immediately. Changing the subject, you told him how Husk thought you were the one that Alastor took the soul of. That gave him a good laugh and you a chuckle. Both of you calmed down, you with your small smirk and Alastor with his wide grin as you two met eye contact, thinking the same: That was such a ridiculous assumption

“Everyone, I’d like you to meet My Dearest Darling.” Alastor’s hand patted your shoulder “Nice to meet you all, Alastor’s told me all about you guys.” You had bowed your head a bit with a smile, appearing as humble as you could. The introductions went without hiccup, was what you would wish for “Pager! My good fellow!” Lucifer came over and wrapped you in a tight hug. “How have you been!?” You missed how Alastor was glaring daggers at Lucifer and the King of Hell was grinning like crazy. “Sire, just fine. Thank you for asking?”

Now it was everyone else’s turn to be shocked and confused. Questions came at you left and right. You didn’t even need to answer because Lucifer had told them you used to work for him. Your room would have been assigned next to Lucifer’s if not for Alastor’s intervention that you were to be ‘put to work’ under him

Well, now that there was something of an intermission for the hotel to bounce back to its former glory (if it had any), things were pretty chill around the hotel. Everyone did their things like usual. Though it was odd that things were unchanged, since you were supposed to be a new staff member. Yet they hardly saw you, nor did Alastor tell you to work on anything

All they knew was you were always in your room, doing whatever behind closed doors. Charlie and Vaggie had asked about you, from Alastor since you were barely out when they were active and the only other contact was through Alastor who was never bothered that you were slacking

Alastor reassured that you were writing scripts for his broadcast and doing your own research on something else, so you wouldn’t be leaving the room for the majority of the time

Everyone would catch Alastor using the kitchen at the oddest time of the day to cook or bake things, then bring it up to his radio tower to eat. When he was confronted on his odd mealtimes, he informs that it was yours. As for why he was the one making, he said it was because he sent you to work overtime and so he compromised

“The poor darling was feeling peckish so I, as the employer in charge, should do my duty, yes?” “Oh ho! No need to fret over my dear Pager upstairs, merely took a longer nap than usual and needed to delay dinner!” “My doe won’t be joining us for breakfast, still sleeping from all that work, you see. I’ll make some food later on.”

All lies. Each and every one of them. All this time, you were eating up on the internet provided by the hotel and doing what you do best. Laze around and chill. There was no work assigned, no script to be written, and certainly no research underway. You were doing what you would back home, now it was just a change in location. Then there’s Alastor joyfully serving you like always without change

But none was the wiser when any of them hardly knew you. Save for Lucifer. He’d pop into your room without Alastor’s notice and give you new books or comics or shows or whatever you please. All while saying they were gifts to you for all you’ve done for him. He was quickly chased out of the room when Alastor sensed another being with you

Now when it came to your break periods, your room wasn’t enough and you wandered around the hotel to stretch and give yourself a change of scenery

This was when everyone else got to talk to you and not through Alastor

Charlie got you to join in her exercises, wanting some feedback from you. You lazily joined, matching Angel’s attitude to it all. You two shared a knowing glance and smirk from time to time. Vaggie groaned and scolded Angel since he was the one that wants to be redeemed, but then turned to you to be more supportive and put heart into it since you were a staff

Alastor immediately poofed out of nowhere, hands on your shoulders while you had a bored look on your face at Vaggie. At the growing static, you sighed, “Please don’t.”

Charlie, Vaggie, and Angel raised a brow at your words. Vaggie wanting to pull you away from Alastor since from their point of view, Alastor was having a scary face again. Husk watched silently from the bar, wondering if you’d be ‘punished’ later behind closed doors for ordering the Radio Demon

But to everyone’s surprise, Alastor reverted back to normal and hummed, offering you his hand to escort you away from the group, “Shall we take a stroll outside the hotel, darling?”

That day, a whole street was painted red. You and Alastor returned late and just went to your room to rest. No one dared to question. They did wonder what would have happened if you said nothing when Alastor appeared behind you. Perhaps Vaggie was lucky she got off with a glare

You wandering the hotel became obvious to the others that you were ‘resting’ from your heavy workload given by Alastor which was rare, they noticed that there was no routine nor a fixed time you’d appear

They held off attacking Alastor about your workload since everytime they see you you weren’t complaining or drained in any way. So they continued as normal, sometimes asking Alastor if he was giving you enough breaks between work or if you were eating. Alastor kept up with appearances and assured them you were well and dandy. You had a good laugh at their concerns

Yeah, neither of you were going to correct it since there was no need

You’ll admit that Alastor was doing a good job at keeping people away from you, just as you like it. Though it could be because of his possessiveness you can tell. Still, it aligns with your wishes, so you leave it be

Once when you were on break and with Charlie and the others for a broad game day, another activity for bonding and the like. Suddenly left mid-game and went to the kitchen to cook, everyone thought Alastor was preparing for everyone’s lunch so no one questioned it. Soon enough you got up

“What’s wrong?” Charlie asked, everyone turned to you “Hungry.” It was like you were on autopilot when you turned to walk into the kitchen Everyone else shared a glance, thinking it was time for food anyways. “Let’s eat.”

They weren’t prepared to see you leaning against Alastor with your arms crossed over your chest meanwhile Alastor was having no trouble plating whatever dish was cooked. Another point, you were just causally touching Alastor and he didn’t do anything! He didn’t even make a peep and let you stay there while he worked

No one could touch Alastor unless he does it first. No one touches Alastor especially when he’s in the kitchen cooking!

“Have a seat, darling, food’s ready.” Alastor cooed “Mhm~ Looks nice.” You remarked with contentment as you pushed yourself off of Alastor and sat on one of the high chairs on the island Angel noticed how only you had food and no one else, complaining, “Hey, what about us?” Alastor turned over, shamelessly commenting, “Oh, I finished using the kitchen, you can make your own food now. Sorry for taking so long.” The condescension was gone when he turned his attention back to you, “How’s the food, dear?” “Good as always.” You praised, glancing up at him to know he was overjoyed at your words even with the lack of expression. His eyes narrowing while his grin widened was the hint. “Could use some mini cupcakes when we play the board games later.” “Say no more!” Alastor snapped his fingers, making a bunch of ingredients appear. He turned to the crew, “Apologies, but I’ll be using the kitchen since you’re all merely standing at the entrance!”

Yeah. Everyone came to the conclusion that Alastor was extra weird after you came to the hotel. They’d ask Alastor about it but he would dodge the question all together or he’d just shift the attention elsewhere. They’d love to ask you, since you were somewhat more approachable? But you were just rarely around. When you are around, Alastor was not far from you

Note: Yup. Part 3. Amazing right? I blame the ask and you can thank the ask. The writing mood just hit me like a truck, so here's the result

Guys I'm very tempted to change all the stories in ask to a post format so I can keep track of them! Not sure about this yet, but if I do do it, the stories in ask will be replaced with a link instead and the stories will be readable as a post (maybe with a picture of the ask?). Do I reboot all of them or just start with the next new request?

ghost dealing with his pregnant southern wife’s cravings (aka you introduce simon to tomato mayo sandwiches). tw: pregnancy, a little smut, eating/food, a little vomiting. i didn’t proof read this

ghost loved coming home to you after tedious days doing paperwork on base.

whatever you were going, he’d wrap his arms around you, resting his chin on the top of your head and sighing. he probably smelled like man. gross, sweaty man, but you never commented on it.

when you fell pregnant he loved holding you like that even more, seeing your belly start to poke out as he gazed downward.

one night, he came home to you standing in front of the kitchen counter, arm gently sawing back and forth as you sliced a tomato.

he took his normal position, humming and closing his eyes. when he opened them again, he took in the scene in front of him.

“what is this, love?”

never did he expect you to cook for him, especially when you became pregnant. but maybe every once in a while when he came home particularly starving, he’d steal a bite or two of whatever you were making.

but lately, your meals had gotten a bit strange.

and really, it was his own fault. as soon as you’d so much as hinted at wanting to have simon’s kid, he had you anchored down to the hilt of him as he stuffed you with his cum.

“it’s ummm, tomatoes and sourdough, and mayo.”

you tilted your head back to look at him.

“that’s it?”

you shook your head, hair going staticky on his t-shit.

“salt and pepper, too.”

you watched as his face pinched into a grimace.

“hey!” you scowled. “don’t look at me like that mister beans on toast.”

you turned fully, playfully shoving his chest.

“used to eat this all the time as a kid. everybody kinda did.”

simon cracked as he saw embarrassment creep onto your features, like he’d made you feel gross for craving it.

you were often victim of trying new british “delicacies,” so it was only fair that he return the favor.

“alright, i’ll try one.” he shrugged.

he offered to help, but as always you refuse it. he watched as you slathered a generous layer of mayo onto each side of the bread, setting thick slices of tomato on top, and finishing it with enough pepper to make simon sneeze.

he winced when you handed him his plate, and you were suddenly nervous.

“it might not be that good, tomatoes being out of season and all.”

you both tuck into your sandwiches once settled on the couch, your preferred spot these days.

simon was pleasantly surprised. maybe a little too much mayo, but he was delighted.

you on the other hand, were gagging after taking a bite. it had you making a haste exit for the bathroom, where you found a familiar place on the floor, heaving into the toilet.

when you returned to the living room, sheepish, simon had discarded any evidence of the sandwiches and had put a pot of water on the stove to boil for plain noodles, one of the only things you could stomach recently.

“sorry si, i didn’t mean for that to happen. it’s just—”

you began to choke, suddenly overcome by emotion. he pulled you in tight, your face pressing into his shirt.

“i know love, i know.”

his hand smoothed up and down your back steadily until he felt your breathing return to normal and heard your sniffling stop.

“why don’t you find a movie, and i’ll finish up in here.” he nodded towards the kitchen

you did, finding a movie both of you would like, even though simon never really watched the screen anymore. he was too focused on you, watching your little belly rise and fall with every breath.

Central Plains: (puppy eyes) A-and, some Nature Realm Level sushi, i-if you don't mind... Cale: ….what the f*** is even happening anymore God of Balance: (shows up out of nowhere) ...What's this about someone messing around with too many orders? God of Death: Oh s***. The Power Executive is here-! God of Balance: (leans over Cale's seat from behind, menacingly) You should just order the Full Course Godly Ascension Dinner. Or ALL of those other dishes will land on your bill Cale: I… I... I just wanted some Slacker Life… God of Hope: (pats his shoulder) Cale… They never servered Slacker Life here in the first place… Cale: ... Cale: (┛ಠ_ಠ)┛彡┻━┻

m not sure if you did this, but how about nanami and sick reader? sorry my daddy issues are speaking rn

Omg this could not have come at a better time, I'm delusional AND I was sick yesterday xxx

Nanami and sick reader

Nanami who comes home to you being sick in the bathroom, he ties up your hair and gets you water. His hand stroking your head and patting your back methodically and asking if you are ok.

Nanami who never misses a day from work calls his boss telling him he won't be in, he knows he would be too worried about you to leave the house. He would be too preoccupied with you running his head to even think about leaving you by yourself.

Nanami who makes you breakfast, plain bread with butter, water and medicine he stepped out to buy while you were having a nap. He really wishes that he could make something better but this is all you can eat without being sick again.

Nanami who makes you lemon and honey tea when you start to feel a little better, his mother used to give it to him when he was sick and it is only fitting that you get the same treatment.

Nanami who reads to you to get you to sleep again, he picks up a book from your 'pile' on your bedside table. He happens to pick up Pride and Prejudice and even does the British accents with the voices.

Nanami who begs you to take it easy after you wake up and want to finish some work. "Are you going to be a good girl? Let me take care of you." He knows you feel uncomfortable just doing nothing at home whilst there is still work to be completed so he tries to make you feel better by distracting you.

Nanami who presses kisses on your forehead and your cheek despite you telling him he's going to get sick as well, he only responds with, "Then we can be sick together."

Nanami who checks your fever by placing the back of his large hand on your forehead, he strokes your hair and starts to play with it lying down and grabbing the remote to put some true crime documentary on Netflix you've been meaning to watch.

Nanami who made you some chicken noodle soup from scratch using his grandmother's recipe, the smell woke you up and you walked into the kitchen seeing him wearing the novelty pink frilly apron Gojo got him for his birthday and his long-sleeved top rolled back to his elbows.

Nanami who sat you down promptly, once realising that you can't lift the spoon well due to your weakness, he started to feed you. He wiped the soup on your chin with one hand and went back to holding yours.

Nanami whose hands traced circles into your back whilst you cuddled him on the sofa. He started to give you a proper massage and even got the oils out from the bathroom cabinet. His large and dexterous hands squeezed and pulled all the knots in your neck from sleeping all day. "You know I love those cute noises you’re making sweetheart."

Nanami who sleeps with you, legs entwined with yours, his hands encircling your waist and his head on your neck. Nanami wants to keep you as close as possible to him as much as he can. The warmth and rhythmic breathing makes it easier for you both to sleep. He thinks you're asleep so he starts to confess to you, "I love you so much I don't think I could live without you," and "I got so worried this morning I don't think I could've gone into the office without leaving an hour in."

Hi, I wanted to ask if you could do a Redson and reader child romance that reunited later on? The reader is gender neutral ^^

Yes! Absolutely I can!

REDSON X GN!READER

(Requested childhood romance to reuniting, reader is also a demon)

Rising from your bed, you let your bed-ratchet hair fall over your eyes with a groan. Swiping it out of your vision, you threw yourself off the bed and stumbled around your dingy apartment.

Apparently being the heir of a powerful demon family did no use into helping you finding a good living area.

With a begrudging sigh you grabbed what little coffee powder you had left and tossed it into your coffee maker. Eventually the smell of the coffee beans filled your senses while the carafe filled with the nearly black liquid.

Not even bothering to pour or prepare your coffee, you just grabbed the carafe and chugged it down.

You were thankful to be this heat resilient; thanks to your childhood sweetheart.

Oh yeah… you were wondering how he was doing.

It had been centuries since you two had seen each other… you two used to be inseparable.

Letting yourself zone out, you fondly reminisce on those memories of your childhood.

Through the grassy plains you were chasing around a younger Redson, holding a beetle in your palms and trying to urge him closer to it; his shrieks of terror fueled your laughter.

“C’mon, Redson! It’s just a tiny baby-beetle!” You would try to coax him, to which he hid himself behind a tree, cheeks flared red and the tips of his hair a vibrant orange. “No! Those things are super gross, and scary!”

You laugh at his terror, finally having your fill of fun and tossing the beetle away. “I can’t believe you’re scared of beetles like that,” you’d tease and sit down next to him.

“Psh- it’s not like I’m scared of them or anything they just-.. they catch me off guard, is all!” Redson tried to argue, face a brilliant red as he tried to save himself from embarrassment. “Yeah, Yeah… whatever, hothead!” You flicked his forehead, to which he grabbed you; now both of you were wrestling in the dirt. Both your shrieks of laughter filled the air as you tried to one-up each other.

You finally managed to get the upper ground, wrapping your arms around Redson and pressing his back to the tree. “Okay, okay, you win!” He huffed begrudgingly, still a faint hint of red on his cheeks. “Nah, I wanna hug you for a bit. You’re warm.” Your comment made him splutter, and eventually let you cuddle close to him despite his embarrassment.

Your mind snapped back into reality when a buzz came from your phone, with an exasperated sigh that your daydream had been interrupted you grabbed your phone and scrolled through. There was something that caught your eye though, a headline; “Demon Bull Family opens a noodle shop”.

Now that seemed something worth your time. There was no way Redson wouldn’t be there… he had to be.

Besides, you wanted something to eat anyways.

Grabbing whatever you needed to go out, and making sure you had a few of your more demonic features so you could go outside without being jumped.

It took you a hood bit to find the place, but eventually you did amongst the crowd…

Opening the creaky door you let yourself in, a bell chiming at the top of the door in your arrival.

“We’re closed right now. Go find food somewhere els-“ the Redhead’s words caught in his throat when he laid his eyes on you. “That’s no way to talk to a friend, now is it?” You snort, making your way up to the counter and smiling fondly at him. Oh how he’s grown.

“[Y/N]? Is that really you..? I thought I’d never see you again! Your family said you’d run away centuries ago…” Redson took your hands in his, the warmth of his hands encased yours just like you remembered.

“Yeah, I did. Long story short, my parents wanted to marry me off to a suitor… but that doesn’t matter right now. How are you, is everything good on your end? I was surprised to see you opened up a noodle shop…”

Redson blushed bashfully and pushed his tiny glasses up his nose. “Well.. I am a proud member of the Demon Bull family, something as mediocre as this is no issue!” He boasted proudly. He was a lot more confident then he was as a kid…

“Wow, you got a lot more confident over the years.” Your comment made him shake his head in surprise to your statement. “I was always confident!.. I just… wasn’t confident with you…” he squeaked out that last sentence with a red face. “You’re still as blushy as i remember, it’s cute.” A little flirty comment was enough to make Redson’s hair burst into flames of embarrassment.

A quiet skittering sound broke both of you out of your trance, you both looked to the floor to see a beetle. Redson let out a shriek of terror, scrambling away from it. “Get that thing away from me!!!” He shrieked out. With a cocked brow, you simply stomped on the bug, much to Redson’s surprise.

“You killed it..-“ he spoke softly. “Yeah, I did.”

“You used to be a lot more gentle with bugs when we were younger,” he stated obviously with a perplexed expression. “Well I didn’t have anyone to chase around with them,” you poked his forehead playfully, to which he scoffed.

A comfortable silence molded between you two, the slight hum-buzz of the fluorescent lights being the only thing that kept it from being completely silent. “So, I was wondering…” you started, his head snapped to look at you.

“I was wondering if you’d like to go somewhere sometime… maybe grab a bite to eat..-“ you were caught off guard when Redson abruptly grabbed your hands and screamed, “yes!” Like you were proposing to him.

Now it was your turn to blush.

“I would love to, [Y/N].”

Imagine reader having a tongue piercing before showing up to twisted wonderland and the boys only find out after they get close to the reader?

Who do you think would have the best/worst time

SUGGESTIVE CONTENT AHEAD!

(Other than platonic Ortho)

Ahem.

If I have not mentioned it before, I have a tongue piercing. It is mostly for aesthetics, however this piercing serves another purpose as well!~! Hehehehe... I will not be writing for a snake eyes piercing because it’s actually not very safe to get done! So just plain and simple piercing in the tongue is all!

Let’s do a list of NRC Students shall we? If you request again, I will kindly make a list for staff and the off-campus boys and the staff!!

Now, let’s begin:

Tongue Tied or Traumatized?! v.1

Tongue Tied or Traumatized?! v.2

Heartslabyul

Riddle Rosehearts

You are laughing alongside Riddle during a study session, and he notices something sparkling on your tongue. He's so shocked, thinking a fairy flew in your mouth he grabs you by your face! Cupping your chin tightly in his grasp as he squeezes your jaw to open.

What in the world?!

What is this in your mouth?! How did that get there?!

Riddle is honestly shocked that you would have such a thing, why would you put yourself through such pain?!

He's close to passing out now, that's just too much...

Take that thing out at once! It’s distracting him!!!!!

You decide to tease him once he lets you go. So, you grab his wrist and lick over his fingers. Rubbing the stud in your tongue over his skinny fingers.

You’ve never seen him that red!!

“Honestly, that is enough! I’ll be speaking with the Headmage about a piercing stress code!”

He never did

Trey Clover

You were baking with Trey, and after big watery eyes and soft begging, he lets you lick the spoon clean of the vanilla batter. He jokingly holds it out to you... And sees something on your tongue as you lick away at the spoon...

You didn't seem like the type to get your tongue pierced. Your ears? Sure. Your nose? Go for it. Your tongue? Never crossed his mind.

He thinks it looks really good on you, but saying that seems like a creepy thing to say, why was he staring so hard at your tongue anyways?!

Does it make it hard to brush your teeth? How do you clean it?!

He wants to talk about it so bad, but he can't think of how to strike up the conversation topic...

“Do you ever bite your tongue?”

Everyone bites their tongue!!!!!!!!!!! He is regretting so many things now. But, you at least pick up on what he’s trying to say

You open your mouth and stick out your tongue, giving him a much better view even though you’re tongue is coated with excess batter.

Close your mouth. Now. Please. He got an extra image he wasn’t mentally prepared for.

Cater Diamond

Cater invited you out to eat ramen with him! His treat! Once you got to the shop and began slurping away, he noticed something in your mouth… and it certainly wasn’t just noodles!

“Cute.”

You were both staring at each other now after Cater spoke. You assumed he meant to keep that to himself.

He casually compliments your tongue piercing, saying how it suits you and how he wants to get one done. When he finds more time, he plans to get others as well!

You asked him how many he has and he tells you he has 7 in total. But you’re confused. He only has his ears pierced, right?

“Hm? What, are you trying to find where the others are? Maybe when we get closer I’ll show you them all. For now, just guess.”

Here’s a hint, unless you’re trying to see him naked, he’ll never tell you where they all are!

Deuce Spade

Deuce has been staring at you the entire time you chatted with Sam during a store run for an UnBirthday Party being held. There was something in your mouth and it looked like a candy. But you were talking just fine? He waits until you both leave to pop the question.

He would straight up ask you why is your tongue pierced and did it hurt

Deuce thought about getting his tongue pierced but he didn’t want to freak out his mom!!!

He’s listening intently as you tell him all the pros and cons you’ve faced with caring for the piercing

Then, he asks you what kissing is like.

You’re both silent for a second before he becomes red faced, quickly changing the subject and rushing off to the party to set up

And once the UnBirthday Celebration begins, you take the opportunity to pull Deuce away to a secluded space and show him your tongue.

“Do you still wanna find out what kissing is like?”

Ace Trappola

The first day you met Ace, you learned how observant he was of you. He was already pointing out how you had something in your mouth, asking to see it closer when you were alone after class.

He directly asks you to stick out your tongue. No beating around the bush.

When you do, he's staring much harder than he was before. He's burning the image into his mind!!!!!!!

He doesn't say much after that, but he does seem more interested in being closer that day.

He seems more protective of you as well, dragging you away from the students who had a little too much interest in you for his liking

Ace pulled you into an empty classroom as the school day came to an end

"Hey, did you pierce it yourself? If you did, do mine for me. If not, I'll get it done anyways... It just looks cool okay?!"

Savanaclaw

Leona Kingscholar

Leona has no reason to really pay attention to you. Not until now. After napping beside you, he sees something stuck through your tongue.

He won't say anything to you about it and he doesn't plan to

Making a scene over it seems like a strange thing to do, but now he has more important things to think of other than sleeping

He does find it attractive you went through something so painful for the sake of a piercing no one can see

Well, those who paid attention to you could see

A few days later he gives you something: A tongue stud with a yellow gemstone in it!!

"You needed something new. Wear it or don't."

He hopes that the next time he sees you laugh that it's the piece of jewelry he gave you instead of what you had before

Ruggie Bucchi

Ruggie is always watching you, learning your ins and outs just in case you have something he may need from you. A favor of course. Then, one day, he notices you have a tongue piercing.

"What's that for?"

He was staring into your mouth with his tail swishing. It was shiny, and he likes shiny things.

He’s seen those types of piercings before, but he always slapped them onto the more sexual side of piercings

You told him you got it just because you wanted it. It looks nice and it only took a few days to heal

He casually asks you to sell him your tongue ring.

Some freak would love to own something like that and he can easily flip the jewelry for profit. Think of your little fanclub at NRC, RSA, and even NBA!~!

He's joking!!!!!! Don't get angry!!!!!!!! He’s teasing you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack Howl

The track club just needed someone to help keep up with times since the manager was out sick. Jack brought you a bottle of water as a thanks for helping. Then as you get ready to take a sip he sees it...

Jack is grabbing you by the shoulder to see what's in your mouth

“What did you eat?!”

What is that???????? He asks you to spit it out before you choke!!!

Jack is viewing you like an owner catching their dog with something they shouldn’t have

When you show him how it's THROUGH your tongue he's white as a sheet

Jack is squeamish and he can’t imagine how giant the needle must’ve been that they would STAB your tongue

Please,, take that thing out..,,..

Why would you do that to yourself???????

Don't show him that ever again...

If you want to tease him, just stick your tongue out at him

Octavinelle

Azul Ashengrotto

You were talking to him in his office. You were scolding him into releasing Grim from another contract. Then, he saw your tongue.

Oh? He didn't see you as the type to get such a piercing!

He likes it as much as he refuses to admit it, but because he likes it… His grimy brain creates an idea

He decides to make a contract with you in order to save Grim from a school-life of servitude!

He asks you to stick out your tongue for him.

You think the request is strange, but you watch him pull out a Golden Scroll.

"For our agreement, and the sake of Grim, you may only wear the jewelry I give you. Til' death do we part."

It's you or Grim, Prefect.

Jade Leech

You were venting with Jade after class in the library. Of course, the moray was listening. But he was also staring directly at your mouth.

“I see…”

He would nod his head along as you vented over something that happened between you and another student

Seeing your mouth curled into a frown and then having it open back up to show the piercing embedded in the soft flesh of your tongue

It was like a child’s game of Peek-a-Boo!

He thought it complimented you very well, you were like a clam opening up to show off a pretty pearl at the bottom of the sea

But now you were sobbing, he missed part of the story during his day dreams

Jade was silent as he listened and nodded along, allowing you to cry into his shoulder afterwards

After class, he brought you a gift.

Something sweet, and a new piece of jewelry for your tongue. It looked like a pearl

Floyd Leech

You aren't sure what happened before this, but Floyd was holding your mouth open with his gloved fingers. Tucked away into the kitchen of the desolate Mostro Lounge.

He’s staring at you so intensely…

You might gag on his fingers…

His thumb rolled over the stud through your tongue in silence

He didn’t think his Shrimpy was the type!!!

You’re trying to get him off of you but he’s sitting on top of you now

And Floyd is heavy

“Does it feel good? Really good?”

You don’t understand his question but your eyes widened in terror as Floyd started to smile

He’s already sticking out his tongue to find out if it ‘feels good’

Bite him if you don’t want this!!!!

Scarabia

Kalim Al-Assim

Please, have dinner with him! He loves your company and eating with you is so much fun! He wants you closer! And of course, why turn down free food? You arrive and eat with Kalim. And when he goes to feed you something he likes, he sees your tongue.

He’s seen piercings like that in pictures, never real life!

He likes it on you! But he won’t say anything as he feeds you with a smile.

Part of him doesn’t want anyone else to make this discovery, so he keeps feeding you and hogging you all to himself

“Prefect, try this next! Oh, and this! Let me feed it to you!”

He wants your mouth full so no one can see your tongue.

He wants to get his tongue pierced after tonight… So that way you both can match

Jamil Viper

He was scolding you in the kitchen for partaking in Kalim’s tomfoolery. Another party?! Who do you think is going to be making the food for said party?! As you prepare an apology, Jamil sees something in your mouth. And he grabs your chin.

His eyes are scary… You didn’t even get to say sorry yet!

He’s silent, staring at your mouth and taking in the sight of the tongue piercing

He likes it. He likes it a lot.

He lets go of you with a huff, turning away and pulling on his hood to hide his eyes

“Don’t go along with him anymore, now help me start cooking. Or else.”

You help Jamil cook, well, more like he’s having you taste test everything now. All while staring at your mouth

Maybe he’ll pierce his tongue too

Pomfiore

Vil Schoenheit

Vil asked you to play the role of his assistant since Rook had mysteriously fallen ill and Epel was at Magishift practice. When you first arrived at Pomfiore to assist Vil, he grabbed you by the face. Squishing your cheeks in his strong grip.

“Firstly, that piercing of yours must be up to standard for Pomfiore. What you have in now is unacceptable for my dress code.”

He didn’t like it. Not one bit.

It looked cheap, and Vil is not a cheap man.

He apparently had known you had one via Rook offering him some gossip about the Ramshackle Dorm Prefect. So, he was prepared.

Gold with amethysts, surgical steel with diamonds, titanium with rubies, all of them looked to expensive to replace the plain silicone one you wore

He laid the studs out on his vanity and commanded you to pick one of the many choices

And for insurance…

He’ll be putting it in and taking it out for you

Rook Hunt

Rook knows everything about you. From the shape of your eyes to the length of your toenails. He’s studied you and learned about everything. And today, during his study session, he learns about a piercing you have in an interesting place.

Oh, to hide such a thing from his eyes! So prude of you!

He watches you all day from windows and on top of the school roof, seeing you speak, yawn, laugh, catching sight of the tongue piercing

It’s interesting you chose to pierce your tongue, why not pierce your ears? Your belly button?

Your mouth is such an intimate place…

“Maybe a kiss from my Trickster will be even better with such an ornament. Très bien!”

Epel Felmier

Epel isn’t too familiar with piercings. He knows about getting a hole poked through your ears. But your tongue? That’s all too foreign! You showed him your tongue just for fun.

He’s shocked!!!!

That had to hurt, right?

Epel is rough and tumble, but getting something stabbed into you doesn’t sound very comfortable

“How do you eat?”

His accent comes out a little as he begins to admire your durability and strength to get your tongue pierced

You explain to him what healing was like, and it seems to move him with your strength and perseverance!!

You’re so much cooler now!!

He wants to get his tongue pierced too!!!

Maybe…

Ignihyde

Idia Shroud

You came over to play co-op games with Idia since he needed an IRL player two for this game. He would ask Ortho but, the content isn’t something his younger brother should see! As you played, he caught you laughing during a cut scene, and noticed your tongue.

“The Prefect is an M.”

He didn’t mean to say that out loud and the tips of his hair were turning bright pink.

He apologized quickly and corrected the statement to say you were a master at the game!

The rest of the time you shared with as spent with him thinking about your mouth

He had no idea that you had such a piercing in the first place!!!

How many people have seen that piercing before him?!!?!!! The people of the internet have told many tales of what people with tongue piercings can do!!

He wants to ask you about it some more, but he feels too awkward to try…

Ortho Shroud

Ortho is sitting with you while Idia is on his PC! Hang out in the big brothers room! You decide to show Ortho something ‘cool’! So, you stick out your tongue!

He is concerned because it looks like it hurt!

He thinks that you’re really cool… He wishes he could get something that cool, like an ear piercing!

He asks that you go with him and Idia to Sam’s shop sometime to buy earrings! Then, if you guys are brave and Idia says it’s okay…

Ortho wants to pierce his ears!

“Let’s get matching earrings for all of us!”

Diasomnia

Malleus Draconia

You and Malleus often spend time together at night, taking late night walks around campus since he’s most active at that time. With all the time spent together, he sees something in your mouth.

Malleus grabs your face gently so he can look inside with squinting eyes.

“Child of Man. May I ask what has made its way through your tongue?”

He assumes a spell had gone wrong during class, maybe you’re cursed?!

He offers to release you of said curse but you explain that it’s just a piercing. Something to make you look cool!

He doesn’t get it… But as long as you aren’t cursed he will appreciate your choice to decorate yourself in a way that you like!

Lilia Vanrouge

Lilia was all for piercings and alternative forms of fashion. So noticing your tongue was pierced made him light up!

He thinks it looks great on you! So charming!

Lilia mentions how he worries about being too old to get such a piercing

It won’t be as stylish on him as it is on you

“May I see it again tomorrow?”

He wants to admire you more and more and eventually starts buying you things to wear in your tongue

Gothic studs in different styles and colors, all reminiscent in style of the fae who gifted them to you

You notice a decline in people talking about your tongue piercing the day he gave you a stud with L.V printed on it.

You thought it stood for Little Vampire…

Silver

He had fallen asleep in your lap in the woods behind the school. You didn’t want to leave him there so you waited for him to wake up. When he woke up, he slammed his head into your chin from the force of him sitting up. Now with your tongue bleeding he apologized and looked you over.

Your tongue has something in it and now it’s bleeding (looks like it’s bleeding)

“Sorry! Is that from me hitting you?!”

He thinks the piercing was something caused by him hitting you in the chin

You’re confused, disoriented, and honestly not in the mind space to ask questions right now

He walks you to the infirmary and continued to apologize

You forgive him and he sits with you, thinking of ways to save you from the curse in your tongue,

Silver just has to figure out what kind of curse it is

Sebek Zigvolt

He was yelling at you. Why? You forgot. You were tired of him screaming at you. You decided to shout back this time, and he was silent. But not for your choice of words. But choice of piercings.

“WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?!”

He’s yelling again already

What happened in life that caused you to choose a tongue piercing?! Why?!

Such a horrible and sultry thing, people will get the wrong idea about you!!!!

You wanted to smack him for not listening to you, and choosing to just scold you for something irrelevant

It’s not like you pierced it for him, so he shouldn’t care!!

But saying that… It made him quiet

And he turned away with a frustrated huff

Tips For Surviving An Abusive Situation (or a very strict household)

Just a reminder: If you are in a physically or emotionally abusive situation CALL THE POLICE, AN ABUSE HOTLINE, FRIENDS, FAMILY, A COUNSELLER, ANYBODY, IMMEDIATELY. ABUSE CAN ESCALATE VERY QUICK.

Plain, whole-wheat noodles are super easy and quick to prepare in a microwave, a lot healthier than canned ravioli, and you can top them with cheese, tomato sauce, butter and pepper, it never gets old. Also, use a wooden or plastic spoon to eat. It's quieter.

Also, rice. Add-ins include soy sauce, scrambled eggs, peas and carrots, beef, etc.

Keep an old rucksack/backpack under your bed containing a change of clothes, loose change (see below), a knife for protection, granola bars/candy/bear paws, personal documents and a map. If you ever need to "Bug out", just grab the backpack and get as fast as you can to a friend's house, police station or even just a resturaunt if you just need to call someone.

Keep an envelope, whenever you find some loose change, put it in your envelope. Label it "Laundry tokens". Hide it well.

Keep a journal. Not only does this help keep you sane, you need to document EVERYTHING that your abuser does to you. Abusers (or strict parents) have a way of making you think like that never happened, or that you're crazy.

Don't kill yourself. Why? because if you die, your abusers ducking win. Don't let them win, bud.

If your parents are not dangerous, just extremely narcissistic and manipulative, go to a community college abroad. I would choose Wyoming or California because they're cheaper to live in. I'll make another post about college tips soon.

Get a dog or cat if you can afford it, and love it like hell. It will keep you warm and happy and loved, and most will defend you from being beaten. Just make sure they don't get hurt!

Once again, if you are being physically hurt or driven to the point of suicide or self-harm, contact ANYONE, IMMEDIATELY!

pssst, artists and content creators. c'mere. I have a metaphor for you.

There are two main reasons people buy ramen bricks: -they actually like them, or -they're cheap and better than nothing.

And, well, when you're actually fucking hungry, better than nothing is indeed better than nothing. survival is survival.

But when you're at the point where you could theoretically afford something nicer, often you're still like "no, I have to get the ramen cuz it's cheaper"

except you keep opening the cupboard and going "oh god not that shit again" and never touch it. Because you do have other options.

So the $2 of ramen you bought because it was the cheapest option for 4 meals, instead is $2 down the drain and space wasted in your cupboard, not to mention a free guilt trip for the next 6 months when you open your cupboard.

And this can go for anything. I have a bag of plain-ass rice that's staring at me in the cupboard the same way because I keep just eating chicken strips instead of having any rice or potatoes or anything with them. Sure it was only $8 for what'll be half the nutrition for like, 30 meals? but it's been 5 months and I haven't even opened it, so I could have used that $8 on a bag of chicken strips I would have gotten 5 meals I actually ate instead.

So what's your ramen? what are you still stubbornly doing because you feel like you should because you used to to survive, even though your effort or time or money is actually being wasted?

Do you have an Etsy store where you sell pins but people only ever buy the same two from a meme post and making them makes your blood boil by now? Have you been making Halo Daily Challenge videos for a decade and want to kick your Xbox every morning? Are you stuck playing Wonderwall three times a night when you play at the pub instead of anything else you've been praciticing?

right now you may be in a spot where you just have to suck it up and keep eating the ramen. especially if your ramen is a dayjob!

but for others, you might be able to dig through your arsenal and find something that's at least a change of pace. maybe it's adding a poached egg to the ramen, maybe it's putting the noodles in tomato sauce not the spice packet, maybe it's frozen dinners.

and yes, they're things that can take more time and money, but when you're still that close to survival mode, you'd be amazed what a little morale boost does.

#propably lost the plot in there multiple times #friend of mine is learning tattooing and is already sick of some current tiktok trend #I told them they weren't gonna have to eat ramen forever #we went off for a while #unsolicited advice #hope it helps someone shrug #food insecurity /

As mentioned before Senritsus favorite drink is black tea with heavy cream and rockcandy, that she drinks every morning as her father had served her and her siblings every morning the same tea so they would stay warm during their first online-classes of the day before breakfast. She drinks it in the friesian manner without stirring the tea after adding the cream so every sip would taste differently: First the creamieness, than the bitterness of the tea and eventually the sweetness of the rockcandy. Senritsu is a patient person, so she will not be irritated at someone serving her the wrong tea or even stirr the cream into the tea, but she might not trust that person in preparing tea for her again. Senritsu might be a black-tea posh from that time of her childhood. She usually carries a box of expensive assam tea in her baggage with her everywhere and she loves serving people a cup of tea in the manner of a friesian tea-ceremony. Senritsu is not exactly a great cook. Cooking simply never interested her, so she also never bothered to learn to cook anything going beyond the basics of cooking noodles, frying eggs or preparing a herb-rabbit-stew. In the same manner she also is not really a gourmet when it comes to what she eats: She likes defty meals that are warm and filling long enough for her to spend hours on what interests her without getting hungry and having to bother to prepare a meal. In this manenr she is when it comes to food much more pragmatic than when it comes to her favorite tea. Accordingly her favorite meal is a slice of bread fried in butter, covered with ham and two fried eggs which is also called "Strammer Max" ("Strapping Max"). Frying eggs and bread is just the extent of Senritsus cooking skills, so she is capable of preparing the sandwhich for herself or for others. Strammer Max is a simple example for plain-cooking and not only a very typical pub-dish but also very famously a hangover-food due to the salt in the bacon and the bread soaking up liquids in the stomach. Which might explain at what kind of places Senritsu had spend most of her adultlife when not working, which would lead to her picking up the dish as her favorite food. Senritsu of course would enjoy any other food as long as it is not fish, but in general she is very easy to make happy when cooked for.

003 | croissant

genre: strangers to friends to lovers, slowburn, potential angst, fluff

pairing: casey ruang x yunmei qi

warnings: none

synopsis: casey is a bit homesick, how to cure?

masterlist

LIKEY CAFE; 10:45 A.M

saturday morning, on a breezy fall day. just the slightest chill flowing through the mid october breeze. weekends were rather slow for un. not much to do, since she's on top of her assignments. as of now, she sat in a little corner booth at a local diner outside campus.

“well looky looky, what do we have here?”

a familiar voice spoke, catching yun’s attention. she looked up, and there stood casey ruang. a little smirk plastered on his face, his smirk growing into a toothy smile.

“..hi?"

“hey. what’cha up to?” casey pushed his bag below the table, sliding into the booth as he let out a quiet grunt.

yunmei glanced at the croissant in front of her, before glancing back at casey. this diner was always her to-go meal spot. need a quick breakfast? take a breakfeast wrap from their to-go breakfast menu. late night dinner? Their dinner plates will be right out as soon as you even order.

“croissant.”

“i’m sorry?”

“croissant. they have good croissants here.” yun explained as she wiped leftover pastry crumbs off of her mouth with her sleeve. awkwardness creeped in as the two grew silent; plates clinking and quiet chatter being the only sounds. yunmei looked at her pastry sheepishly, whereas casey was looking at the menu. he glanced around before raising his hand. a teenager quickly came over, pulling out a notepad and a pen.

“hi, what would you like today?”

casey looked back at yun, a small smile on his face.

“one plain croissant, please.”

yunmei smiled fondly at casey, going back to her food. she glanced between casey and his backpack. the diner had opened a couple weeks ago, but yun had been frequenting the place recently.

“so, why are you here?”

yunmei took another bite of her croissant, chasing it down with a fresh cup of strawberry milk.

“was looking for a place to write; my literature professor assigned us a mock report, and the dorm wasn’t really a good place. y’know, someone threw a party last night and left their mess for us. what a great morning!”

casey took a deep breath, rubbing his face. now that yun looked closer, she saw that casey’s eyes were dropping and had bags under them. an arrow of concern poked her heart but she decided not to inquire about it.

“jeez, sounds bad. i was gonna go grocery shopping later, you wanna go with me? after you’ve made some progress on your report.” 

“yeah, sure. i have to buy a couple snacks anyways.”

it made yun a little happy that she didn’t have to go shop alone, nonetheless she wasn't expecting for him to come with.

;;

I.H DORMITORY 7:20 P.M

evil spawn #1(claudia): insert image me: why does mom have to make my fav when i’m not home evil spawn #1(claudia): lolz evil spawn #1(claudia): did u eat yet me: no, almost done studying evil spawn #1(claudia): i’m snitching to mom me: NO SHE’S GONNA END ME evil spawn #1(claudia): go eat broski  me: never call me that ever again evil spawn #1(claudia): ok bye love u me: love u too

click

a wave of melancholy struck casey, causing him to stare up from his work and at the ceiling. after seeing th picture claudia sent, casey realized something. he missed home. the chaos of four siblings, the noisiness, but his mother’s cooking is what he missed the most. It had been a while since he last ate something that truly tastes like home. he glanced at the digital clock on his desk. 7:24, it displayed. 

may as well have dinner, i can study later.

casey thought to himself. he had been studying for the past four hours, and it was already past the time he would usually eat dinner. as casey made his way out of his room and into the communal kitchen, the scent of beef and spring onions grew stronger and stronger.

peeking past the corner, he spotted yun at the stove. it seemed like she was sauteeing some sort of noodle dish. casey stood there for a minute, waiting to see if yun would even look away from the stovetop. he stood for a good three or four minutes, before yun scanned the premises. she jumped, then began to laugh as she clutched her heart.

“oh my god, casey! i almost threw my spoon at you, don’t do that."

casey chuckled, walking over to the kitchen island and sitting down. 

“okay, okay sorry. what’s on the menu tonight?”

“oh, just this beef noodle dish i ate growing up. i messed up the ratios though, there’s bound to be some-”

growl

casey’s growling stomach interrupted yunmei’s speaking, embarrassment creeping up onto his face.

“..leftovers…i’m gonna assume you’re hungry, and you can have the rest. i don't trust my cooking, so you taste it first!”

yun shoved a bowl of the noodle dish into casey’s arms, and handed him a pair of chopsticks and a spoon. the aroma was heavenly, notes of different soy sauce variations and oyster sauce with that slight smokey scent. it…reminded casey of something familiar.

“if you don't trust your own cooking, why should i trust it?”

“because you’re hungry and i’m not letting you starve.”

“...fine..”

casey hesitantly picked up a couple strands and stared at them with a questionable look, and put them in his mouth. the expression on yunmei’s face was one of uncertainty, her eyes glued onto casey’s face. it was subtle, but his eyes sparked. he looked up at her with a look of excitement on his face and nodded.

“i’m surprised you don’t trust yourself, because this is really good.”

yunmei let out a breath, anxiously shaking her hand. her shoulders felt lighter as her face lit up with happiness.

bzzt

bzzt 

bzzt

something was vibrating. it was casey’s phone. he pulled it out, and his expression changed to worry. he whispered a ‘sorry’ over to yunmei. His finger hovered against the screen, before flicking up.

“casey, my son! claudia says you didn’t have food, are you eating now?”

a light and airy voice spoke from casey’s phone. other voices were distantly heard in the background. yun assumed it was his mother, judging from the words ‘my son’. she gathered the pots and pans, and placed them in the sink for later. 

“mom, mom. i’m fine. i’m okay, just a little tired. i’m eating right now. claudia showed me the seolleongtang you made.”

“sorry, your brothers and sisters wanted it because they know you like it, and they miss you.”

“i’ll be home soon, okay? just two more months and i'll be home for christmas.”

“okay. what are you eating now?”

“well my friend made this beef noodle stirfry, and there was a lot extra so she gave me some.”

casey looked over at yun, who was standing across him. she seemed to be invested in her own bowl. he flashed her a soft smile again, before turning back to his phone.

“okay. I know you’re a busy boy so i’ll let you eat. stay safe and-”

“is that casey? hi big brother!”

“casey!”

“ew, it’s you.”

casey’s phone screen went from displaying just his mother to his whole family. a smile lit up on his face, and yunmei could see his eyes crinkle. it warmed his heart, seeing his whole family after little contact.

“hi everyone. claudia, that’s mean. hi cecillia and cody. are you two being nice to mom and dad?”

“yes! cody helped her make dindin, and claudia draw with me!”

a high pitched girly voice spoke. 

"is dad home or is he still at the bakery?"

"yeah, he's still working. your favourite tarts have been the weekly special for like, three times since you left."

a breathy voice spoke, in a slight sing-song tone.

“thanks, claudia. and what about cole?”

the phone screen panned from his siblings, back to his mother.

“oh, cole is having a sleepover with one of his friends. they have soccer game tomorrow. eat now okay? i love you, my son.”

“okay, love you too mom. bye everyone."

“bye casey!”

“byebye big brother!”

“see’ya.”

“sorry about the fuss, my family’s a bit on the rowdy side.”

casey took another bite of his food, wiping the corners of his mouth with a napkin. yun shook her head, fiddling with her utensils.

“it’s okay, your family seems fun. are you the oldest?”

she asked, walking to the fridge. 

“yeah. i’m the oldest, then it’s my sister claudia, my brother cole, and the twins cecilia and cody. claudias fifteen, coles eleven, and the twins are both four.”

“oh really? What’s it like,being the oldest?”

yun chuckled, wiping her hand with a napkin. the boy smirked and sighed.

“well, it’s kinda hard since i help my parents with the younger ones, but i don't mind it.. they’re all great kids.”

it was nice, seeing casey talk about his family in such a loving way. if yun was being honest, she thought it was kind of cute.

I.H FILM ROOM; 9:20 A.M

“you’re finally on time, for once!” 

“always on time for my favourite class. professor lee still isn’t here?”

casey shook his head, unsheathing his laptop from the case. he pulled out his sketchbook as well, flipping it open to a blank page. this time, yun was prepared. she had stuffed an extra sweater in her backpack, and even brought a couple of instant heat packs if the chill became unbearable. 

“nope, i wonder what surprise he’s gonna show up with this time.”

professor lee is casey and yunmei’s film professor, and he always came to class in a special way. sometimes he would wear inflatable animal costumes to teach in, other days he would just not follow the day’s agenda and would just casually talk to the class.

“i’ll buy you lunch if he comes to class wearing a dinosaur costume. he doesn’t, then you treat me.”

yun said, pulling out a packet of mini rice puffs to snack on.

“deal.”

the two shook hands, smirks on both their faces. last time, prof. lee wore a carrot costume and almost every week, he alternates from food costumes to other types of attire. but when yunmei sat down, the professor came through the doors wearing something no one expected him to.

“oh my god.” casey whispered, his eyes slightly widening.

“what even is he wearing? oh whatever, thanks for lunch art boy!” yunmei squealed excitedly.

professor lee came to class in not just one costume, but separate parts of multiple costumes sewn together. the cherry on top of the outfit was the pumpkin hat that sat ever so perfectly the professor's head.

“okay class, let’s get started!”

Now we get to the actual tickles lol

Hope you guys enjoy! 💖

___________________________________________

A few days had passed, and the comfort from Monkey Kings words had begun to fade. He knew that his mentor was being genuine, but still his old thoughts were creeping back into place.

He tried his best to keep busy and avoid them, reminding himself of his mentors reassurance whenever negative thoughts would crop up, but he found himself doing a lackluster job of all his tasks. And he hated that.

He was unfocused and groggy and just generally weird.

He tripped over himself and dropped noodles five times today,

Accidentally spilled cheese tea literally all over mei,

Tried to help sandy polish up his boat but used way too much polish, so it was just kinda like, slippery and sticky, like, everywhere now.

Which caused sandy to slip and break his 3rd favorite tea set.

He felt really bad for that.

There were plenty of other mishaps that he could list off, and he still hadn't figured out what the heck to do after eating that peach.

As he sat in his room after a fully unsatisfying and frustrating day, those negative thoughts were cropping up again and he just felt too exhausted to keep trying to bat them off.

He felt like he was in the backseat of his own mind. Just listening about how he disappointed all his friends today, how he's a failure, and so on and so on.

But quickly after that train of thought started, he felt a strange tingling creeping up his sides. Almost like fingers gently tracing up his sides.

It tickled. Like really bad for some reason.

"WHAahat is eheven gohohoing OHON righihit NohOHOHOW?!"

It had to be the peach right? But why would MK getting tickled help at all with his training?! And what had triggered it? His spiraling??

MK found himself pressing his elbows to his sides, squirming with nervous giggles bubbling out of his mouth that he couldnt explain as the tickles intensified to a scribbling.

"WhYhyhyhHYHY?? EEEEK!"

He felt heat rush to his face as the phantom hands scribbled all over his stomach and sides, making his body switch  between curling up and flailing wildly, all the while making the most embarrassing noises and wondering how they were coming out of his mouth.

Was this a curse? Was he dying? Kinda felt like he was. But at least it couldnt get worse right?

Wrong.

Suddenly two more sets of hands appeared, one toying with his neck and ears and one down at his hips, drilling into them with fervor. The contrast of sensation was driving him crazy.

"AAHAHAHHA OHoHOHO MYHY GOHOHOD!"

His laugh sounded more childish than he would like to admit as he helplessly grabbed at where the hands would be and his passed right through, which was just plain unfair if you asked him.

Of course if you asked him anything right now he probably wouldn't have any answers to give you.

Then to even more of MKs horror the hands on his hips started rapidly squeezing causing him to snort.

A lot.

"THIIHIIS *snort* SHOULHOULDAHA BEHAHAH IHIHLEEEEAGLEHEH! *snort*"

MK recalled the safe word his mentor told him, but for some reason even though he was pretty sure he was about to experience death by tickles, and he was really sweaty, and this was really embarrassing... he didnt really want it to stop.

It was just nice to laugh and let his mind be totally worry free for a little bit. Even his lack of worry was by... unconventional means.

Was that weird?

It was totally weird.

He was at least glad that monkey king wasnt here to see how stupid he looked right now. That was basically the only saving grace of this situation so,

"So I see my little training tool has been treating you well?"

Never mind.

MK had never covered up his face so fast in his life.

"HaAHAHA MONKEYHEHE KIIHNING YOUHOU SUHUHUCK SOHOH MUHUHCH! IHIHM DHHIYNG!" he laughed out from behind his hands, attempting to muffle himself as much as possible.

"I dont think dead people are this squirmy kid. And hey! I dont suck! You clearly dont mind considering you're the one that hasn't stopped it yet." Monkey king commented. You could hear the smirk in his voice.

MK had no comment to make about that.

He continued, "Anyway I'm pretty sure you need to, yaknow, breathe? Since you're mortal and all that, so why dont we slow this rodeo down a bit."

And with a flash golden light, the tickles slowed, leaving MK giggling but allowing him to catch his breath. He hadn't been tickled in a long time so intense ones like these left him winded.

Once MK had caught his breath, he peaked over his fingers to see monkey king walking over him with mischief all over his face.

"Hehehey! Whahahat arhehre yohohou dohoinh?!"

"Uhhhhhh obviously I'm getting in on these tickles myself! It's been like a thousand years since I tickled anybody."

MK just gaped in shock as his idol and mentor clambered on top of him.

"You okay with this kid? We can stop whenever you want."

MK lowered his hands and nodded. He trusted monkie king. He didn't know why but the idea of getting tickled by his childhood hero made his stomach flip flop in excitement, in a good way.

"Alright then, let's get staaaaaarted..."  he trailed off looking over a giggling MK.

"Here!" He announced, starting to lightly flutter his fingers on MKs neck as he burst out into a stronger wave of giggles. "Looks like I'm not so rusty."

Looking at MKs face, he couldnt help but tease him a little.

"Aaawwwh. Well isn't this just the cutest thing I ever saw! Coochie coochie coo..."

Honestly he wasnt even exaggerating to tease. Looking down at his proteges flushed cheeks and giddy smile as he laughed like a little kid was putting a big dopey smile on Monkey kings face as well. His happiness was ridiculously infectious.

Gosh, this kid deserved the whole world.

MK scrunched up his shoulders in vain as adorable childish giggles bubbled out of him.

"Ahahah! Nohoho! Nhohohot cuhuhute!"

"Really? I beg to differ with that little man. Here, I think I have undeniable evidence of cuteness riiiiiiight here!" The mentor announced as he shoved his hands under MKs shirt and started skittering all over his ribs.

The kid immediately started wiggling around like a little worm, and as he broke into a more earnest laugh, he tried to reach up and cover his face again.

"Nuh uh, I will have none of that. Not in my house," the furry mentor playfully chided.

"AhAh! YoHuOurE IhiHIN myHeheHE HOHOUSE!"

Oops.

"Ehhh, same thing basically."

"Ihihits NOHOHOT!"

Monkey king apparently decided he was done with this conversation and snatched up MKs hands with his tail.

"Now that I can see my adorable students face,"

He said as he looked down at MKs brightening cheeks and wobbly smile,

"I think I'm going to dig into this nice tummy over here, how's that sound bud?"

"Ehehvil!" MK tittered out through anticipation giggles.

"What can I say MK? Celestial beings are fickle."  With that, he skittered all over the young successors belly, even going so far as to give the little bit of pudge on his lower stomach a squeeze.

MK squealed (which he would never admit to) and burst into squeaky cackles, punctuated by the occasional precious snort.

"Oh wohow kid! Did you just snort? Could you get any cuter?" teased Wu Kong.

"With all this squealing and snorting, you're kinda leaning into piggy kid more than monkie kid, yaknow? I'm feeling a little betrayed." 

MK couldnt really process any of what Monkey king said other than the fact that he was being teased for his snorting, which made him look more like tomato kid than monkie kid or piggy kid. As he squirmed around under his mentors fingers, he couldnt help but tug at his wrists a little, wishing he could cover his face again.

Feeling his teacher look at him with such fond eyes was both really nice and a little overwhelming, but in a good way? It was confusing.

Monkey King, seeing that the kid was starting to look tired out but still hadn't said red (this kid is either obsessed with tickles or has very impressive stamina) decided it was time for a big finale.

He slowed his fingers to a stop and gave MK a quick breather before continuing,

"Kid, you have been absolutely laughing your little heart out right? So I was thinking, you're probably super hungry right now. How 'bout a snack?"

What? Were they done now? MK was so confused. "S-snahack?"

"Yeah! You know, I'm more of a peaches kinda guy, but I figure you would really like raspberries."

Ohhhhh. Shit.

MKs playful horror must have been all over his face because the mischief smattered all over Monkey kings seemed to increase a tenfold.

"Awwwh. I can just tell by the look on your face that you are sooo hungry." He grinned impishly as he took his time properly rolling up MKs shirt.

"I'll get those raspberries to you.."

He lowered his head towards MKs trembling tummy.

"right...."

A little lower..

"this"

Lower..!

"second."

His face was just barely ghosting over MKs belly. He waited for a moment to build even more anticipation. If that was even possible.

Then..

He blew the biggest, loudest, most ticklish raspberry right above MKs belly button.

The kid squealed and was essentially sent into orbit. He threw his head up in laughter, and since Monkey king released his hands, they were left scrambling for purchase, eventually just settling on the primates head and gripping it for dear life.

And then he blew another. And another. MK was in ticklish bliss and also agony. He was having fun, but unfortunately breathing was pretty high on his priority list so now was the time to call it quits.

"AHAAHHAH! REHEHD! REHEHEED!"

Monkey king immediately stopped and gave the kid some space to breath.

Once the kid had recovered, although still with some after giggles, he broke the silence.

"Youhou. Are so evil." MK announced, playfully indignant.

Wu Kong had to chuckle at that. "I know, but it was still fun right? And it helped you feel better?"

MK had literally forgotten that he was upset in the first place. And now that he thinks about it, he feels a lot... lighter than he did before. Less tense.

"Actually... yeah?"

"See?! I'm the best mentor ever! Literally so awesome." WuKong was an expert at toting his own horn.

MK rolled his eyes with a smile. "Yeah. Sure."

"Anyway kid. I got some important monkey

business to take care of so I gotta go, but before that, I wanna give you a gift."

As if he read MKs mind he added, "This one wont tickle you I promise."

He turned around, seemed to fanagle a bit, and then.. poof!

A monkey teddy bear! Or a teddy monkey bear? Or a.. teddy monkey? Whatever it was it was really cute.

MK gasped and snatched it out of his mentors hands. "This... IS THE BEST THING EVER!"

I was really comfy to hold.

"I'm glad you like it." Monkey king said. In the kind of voice so genuine you can hear someone's smile in it before you even look.

"Anyways, sleep well kiddo! And remember; no matter what, you are enough." And with that he disappeared.

MK snuggled up to his new stuffed animal and smiled. Maybe things could get better. Maybe it wasnt so bad after all.

Hello you mrs. writer of good stories honey nut cheerio lefty eyebag 😌

Oh to have a kid means never having a neat house. I remember going to my friends house to visit. My niece's room was so clean and tidy, then when she wanted me to play with her, she would just start moving the toys out of her room and make a big mess 🤣

So is the food you just had the first and last thing you'll have for 4 hours and then fast again for another 20? Are you able to drink water or coffee at least?

Woot! Finally part 4 coming out soon! I'm excited for the ending! Then are you gonna start with other stories? Like maybe 10 days? Ahahahaha just kidding no rush no rush.

So my headache is still there. I had a short power nap during my lunch break, but it didn't help any. I thought it was maybe just my eyes are strained, but I guess not. So I don't know what is going on.

Oh no, when I first moved here, it was in CA. Then we moved to FL then to GA. Then when I met my ex, she was in Canada. But then we met friends in NE, and decided to move here.

Ah I know what you mean with the shoes and wet socks. Even though they make water shoes! You goose. But I hate those too just because the splash is so cold lol

Yeah, CA has so many Filipino stores now. I am so sad I don't live there. There is this one place that sells bbq stuff and you can grill it yourself outside.

Hahaha yeah, I'll be bringing back lots of snacks definitely. There's also this one cereal that's been my favorite since I was a child, I might bring back boxes of those.

Ah so when you cook noodles for yourself, what kind do you make?

Thats funny you brought that up, because I was just watching clips of Gloria and how she speaks. Ah so your husband is from CA originally then? How much taller is he than you? Did Emily get half and half of your guys genes then or is she more white?

I stay quiet too when I am around someone I don't like. But if they keep pushing, I just walk away. Cause I don't want to say anything that I would regret. But I avoid those people anyway.

Has a stranger ever changed your life or made an impact?

-CuriousGeorge

Aaw that was a sweet nickname for me.. thank you so much.. i appreciate ur support n thank u for reading my stories.

Oh yeah thats so true.. it can change from clean n tidy to a mess in a second.lol. thats why we call her the hurricane Em or tornado Em.lol.

Well, actually i can eat whatever i want in 4hours window. i eat after 20hours fasting n then usually i eat something else around 30minutes or last minutes before the eating window ends so i wont get hungry too early.

Yeah u can drink water, tea or coffee that's plain. No sweet at all. I drink water and iced tea the whole day.

Haha yeah, pt. 4 is done.. i might start putting it in the tumblr n post it tonight. So stay tune! Hahaha.

N maybe after this i will focus on last chapter of my lost in assistance series, ten days n lesson learned. Or some of my old requests.

I know what u meant with water shoes but it usually for swimming or surfing or water activity. 😆 i wouldnt wear it all day at the park.lol.

Talking about a "water" ride. I remember this one ride that i tried once n i will never do it ever again. I forgot what it's called but i think it's the Nemo Submarine or something. It's in disneyland. Gosh that one ride is a torture to me.

It's just a submarine ride that take u under the water n u can see like robotic fish n coral n sometimes underwater screen that shows nemo movie. What bothers me is it's a long narrow submarine-like ride n they put a lot of people sit along the submarine n face to face pretty close. N then goes under water n it moves slow. It's so narrow that it started to give me anxiety n panic attack. Plus it's gross me out because i imagine the air in it is not clean with that many people breath in it. It feels weird n imagine what kind of germs that comea out of other's breath. Also it feels so weird with that many people in it n u dont know what to do, i felt like people watch me or something even though they all watch the window n dont even care about me... thank god when it starts to get harder to breath for me, the ride ended. So yeah imagine 3 of my fear or anxiety triggers combined in one confined place. Claustrophobic, germphobic and my social anxiety. Lol. Just google or youtube the ride so u'll see.what i meant. 😁

Oh no, im sorry.. maybe because u look at the screen too much? Did u take medicine or anything?

Wow u moved a lot.. that must be hard.

I like any thinner noodle. Panfried or soupy..doesnt matter, as long as it's spicy.haha.

Yes. He was born n raised in CA. He's like 6ft, blue eyed, his hair is light brown. N i'm 5'2 lol. So i think im about a little bit under his shoulder. I think Em is mixed pretty good but looks a little more white.lol. my friends n family say that she looks like the white version of me 🤣🤣🤣

For me, she looks just how i want it. U can see the asian in her but more dominant in the white looks. Good color on her eyes n hair. N she is definitely gets his height genes. She is more than half of my height. Lol. When she was born she looked very very asian n she changed A LOT. 😅 my husband wanted her to look more asian. Lol.

Ah i see..thats true. We r kinda similar.

Hmmm i dont really remember. I think someone help me to get me out of the pushing n crazy crowd in linkin park concert. Otherwise i might be dead from getting stomped.lol. u?

Next question?

Cheerio!

Jade garden seattle dim sum hours

The food is hot, fresh, and readily available. During lunch, the service is nearly immediate. Before I even get to the food – let me clarify. The Jade Garden may be nearly the perfect ID dim sum experience. Again, that's all you can eat of the best Dim Sum in Seattle, for well under $10! Luncher: JeffLunch: Family style - $8.00 We ate more than we should have today and walked away paying $9 each after tax and tip. The other great thing about the Jade Garden is the price. The Pan Toasted Sesame Shrimp & Scallion balls are usually a highlight, but today our order was a bit cold. Every piece I was able to sneak away with was hot, tender, and tasty (just like I like my. It is spiced with diced fresh red and green hot peppers that add just the right bite. It has the perfect combination of rice, pork, mushrooms, and tiny shrimp. Yum! The sticky rice is always great and today was no exception. The dumplings were hot, with a nice meaty wrapper and tangy, gingery pork filling. The standouts today where the Pork and Ginger Dumplings, the Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, and the Calamari. We topped it off with Chinese broccoli, deep fried calamari, and honey walnut prawns. If not, you have to be a bit more assertive to get food flowing past.) We started with dumplings, shu mai, and noodle rolls, then the sticky rice and spare ribs and more dumplings. (Note: If you get stuck back here, make sure you get an early seating when the carts are still moving through. Today we walked right in and got one of the large tables in the far back room. However, since hot carts are always passing by, it's easy to get in and out in forty minutes or less. It is not unusual to have to wait a few minutes for a table. Also unlike its neighbors, Jade Garden is packed for lunch every day and by mostly Chinese speakers. But what it lacks in style, it more than makes up in taste and attiude. It doesn't have the splashy decore or the bright fancy exterior that others use to cover up their sub-par offerings. It is exactly how I expect a popular Hong Kong dim sum restaurant would be: always packed, lots of dim sum carts, great food, and lots of locals. The 30+ tables are packed into five or so distinct eating areas, some at slightly different elevations and one, at the back of the maze, in what was once a neighboring restaurant. Jade Garden is large, yet it still somehow maintains the feeling of a small restaurant. Luncher: GearyLunch: Family style - $8.00 The dim sum here is good every time.īy the way, I had dinner here, and it sucks. I think I'd just like to see more specials - new dim sum every time. The service is kind of rude, but that doesn't bother me. And then everything with shrimp in it and sesame seeds on it - good.Īs much as I love this place, it's missing something that I can't put my finger on. I also tried the garlic pork buns for the first time, they were also good. You can also order a plate of fresh fried calamari, which tastes terrific. My favorites are the Sui Mai, the little bits of pork spare ribs, and the rice in lotus leaf. Compared to other places, the dim sum here just tastes a little fresher, a little more flavorful. They use liberal amounts of Pork and Shrimp in everything, which just plain rocks. And you never have to wait more than 30 seconds to get your food. This place has huge tables, is always crowded, and the selection of food on the carts is terrific. Jade Garden is where I come when I want Dim Sum in Seattle. Luncher: EmmettLunch: Family style - $8.00 Very tender and well flavored pork along some tasty ginger. I'd never had one before, but they were simply awesome. But, the highlight of the meal for me was the Pork and Ginger Dumpling. The pork spare ribs seemed bigger and tastier than normal. even with groups as big or bigger than 10 people.Īll of the food was delicious. No matter how busy Jade Garden is, I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes to get a table. I was split on whether to give this place a 4 or a 5.

Hi can i have hickey prank with khun ageuro agnis and khun aduen (or hutz my boy deserve love hehe)

this was very fun to write 😂 here you go! ✨

ৎ୭ — summary : khun aguero agnis, hatz and khun eduan [ separately ] reacting to their s/o's hickey prank

ৎ୭ — type : headcanon

ৎ୭ — genre : miscellaneous

ৎ୭ — warnings : some jealousy // mention of marking

ৎ୭ — word count : 648

ৎ୭ — taglist : @spoopy-fish-writes @a-chaotic-dumbass @rurifangirl @shanmie @hirzaeth @neylia18 @dailygoodwithmyzoe @samaseo @lvfel @calirmont @viorice // please fill out this form if you'd like to be added

ⵓ‧₊˚ ʚkhun aguero agnisɞ ‧₊ ༉

•He is very observant so he noticed the little red marks on your neck immediately. Not only that but he also knew for a fact that those weren’t by him. Needless to say, he was irritated

•However, he didn’t confront you then and there. Instead, he waited for the right moment before grabbing you by the wrist and tugging you back to the room

•Soooo red-faced as he stared at you with prying eyes

•One word; “who?’’

•You swear you’ve never seen Khun in such a state before. He refused to let you go, going so far as pinning you against the wall

•You had the horrible idea of playing around with him for a bit - which resulted in his grip tightening. You immediately gave up and confessed to him that it was a prank

•He’s stunned, rubbing his thumb against one of them to see if he’s correct before backing off and giving a subtle apology

•Never do that again, Y/N. He really is the jealous type

꒰ ꒷꒦୨hatz୧˚₊๑

•It took him longer to notice than you expected, mostly due to the fact that he has this thing of maintaining eye contact thoroughly

•However, when he did notice the marks on your neck, you watched intently. Expecting something, anything. Yet his expression remained the same. In fact, you were beginning to question whether he had actually noticed or not

•It was during breakfast so he merely ate another bite of noodles, eyes shut. . . before quite bluntly asking; “Who left those marks on your neck?’’

•Before you even had time to process, you were greeted with black eyes staring at you from behind thick lashes. He continued eating as if he didn’t just ask such a blunt question - and in front of everyone too!

•You didn’t expect Hatz to question you so loudly and with everyone around. . . but was to be expected from him? Given the circumstances, you were a bit embarrassed and admitted to him on the spot

•He smiles, looking back down into his bowl with a simple; “you can’t fool me, Y/N. I know you better than that.’’

•Shibisu promptly speaks up with a: “Is that the case, or the fact that you know no one would ever dare do such a thing to your lover?’’ Hatz said nothing and merely continued his breakfast - it answered everyone’s question

ⵓ‧₊˚ ʚkhun eduanɞ ‧₊ ༉

•He honestly didn’t notice. For literal hours. You very notably moved your hair so that it would be in plain sight, moved in front of him to give him a view of the fake marks - heck! You even made sure his attention was on you. . . yet - it just flew over his head

•When Eduan EVENTUALLY takes notice of the marks it was over dinner. He stared for a bit, before shrugging and continuing with his food. It was probably the marks he left behind, right? He liked marking you up, so it more than likely was

•Needless to say, you were a bit irritated with the response. Was he uncaring or just dense? [ Psst, it’s option 2 ] Once you two were back in the bedroom is when you decided to confront him. Asking if he doesn’t care that another man touched his spouse

•You saw it all. The confusion, the surprise and then. . . the shadow over his face, only for a grin to take over his lips. Maybe - Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea

•You squeak as you’re yanked into lap, arms around you as he leans his head to your ear with the eerie words of; “You have five seconds to tell me who.’’

•Y e a h, Khun’s have a jealousy quirk, it seems. You were a little surprised considering Eduan practices polygamy but whatever, you immediately confessed and hid your face in his chest

•All he did was run his hand through your hair with a smug, “that’s what I thought.’’

a lil guide to the Fire Nation for the ATLA fic writers out there

(aka. a no means exhaustive primer on east asia by an asian person)

This is a guide for fic writers want to write a canon-era story set in the Fire Nation, or featuring Fire Nation characters. A quick little primer on the tiny details of everyday life that you might not think about, but certainly stuff that would make me, an asian person, wince if I were to encounter it. BRUSHES, not quills. CHOPSTICKS, not forks. 

(note #1: this was partly inspired by a chat with @elilim​) 

(note: #2:  I originally intended it for zukka fic writers before realizing that other writers might find it useful. so apologies for a slight Zuko-bias for that reason)

(note #3: this is all stuff i was thinking about when writing firebender’s guide, in case anyone was wondering)

1. CLOTHING

Okay, I think the most straightforward way to describe what everyone’s wearing most of the time is “tunic”. They’re all just...tunics of different colours and varieties. Later when Zuko’s the Fire Lord he wears robes. The show provides a better visual guide than I could, here are a few notes to keep in mind:

a) Japanese people wear their collars LEFT crossed over RIGHT

I don’t think this would come up in writing as much as it would in art, but it’s considered bad luck to do it the wrong way because that’s only for dead people. Let my boy Zuko demonstrate:

b) There are no buttons

This is picky, but Wikipedia says “Functional buttons with buttonholes for fastening or closing clothes appeared first in Germany in the 13th century.[6] They soon became widespread with the rise of snug-fitting garments in 13th- and 14th-century Europe.” I kinda believe it. If you look closely, characters’ clothes are always tied together or wrapped in some way with a belt. If there are fasteners, they’re braided frog closures that go into a little loop, like the qipao-style dresses women wear in Ba Sing Se, or Zuko’s casual prince’s clothes in the topmost image. Anyways, I don’t think Zuko or Azula or the Gaang would technically button or unbutton anything when they’re changing clothes. Clothing is designed to be tied, not buttoned.

[so much more under cut]

c) This isn’t a real rule, but there’s something called koromogae, or the seasonal changing of clothing in Japan.

This is something I learned when I was writing firebender’s guide, and I just liked the fun detail about there being a strict calendar for when to wear something. I liked the idea of someone like Zuko, who actually spent most of his formative years outside of the Fire Nation, coming home and just suffering mutely through the summer heat because upper class etiquette says no changing into cooler clothes until August 15. 

From My Asakusa: 

And this website:

Generally, people change from thick, heavy, dark-coloured clothes for winter to thin, lighter, bright-coloured clothes for spring and summer. In traditional Japanese culture, particularly in formal settings such as tea ceremony, it is important to acknowledge the changes of seasons—in such circumstances, not only the patterns and colours of the kimono that are worn but also the utensils and furniture that are used are required to change. By changing their clothing, people notice and appreciate the change of seasons. [Japan Foundation]

Here are some visual guides from the official creators for clothes: (notice how it’s pretty much always left over right)

2.FOOD AND EATING

a) Traditional cuisine

It seems like the most common foods in canon are Fire Flakes and meat, to the point where poor Aang had to eat lettuce out of the garbage at some point.

HOWEVER, the Fire Nation seems to basically a big subtropical archipelago, so I would guess that seafood and rice are common. If you want to write about characters eating, a. quick google for “traditional japanese cuisine” would help you come up with a menu really quickly.

Wikipedia says:

The traditional cuisine of Japan, washoku (和食), lit. "Japanese eating" (or kappō (ja:割烹)), is based on rice with miso soup and other dishes; there is an emphasis on seasonal ingredients. Side dishes often consist of fish, pickled vegetables, and vegetables cooked in broth. Seafood is common, often grilled, but also served raw as sashimi or in sushi.

But before we get too serious, at one point the Gaang eats a “smoked sea slug” (Sokka’s Master) 

Oh ATLA, never stop being you.

b) Utensils

One thing to keep in mind is chopstick etiquette. Someone like Zuko or Toph, for instance, would have completely internalized all of these.

Another thing is that there are no glasses. Cups and bowls are made of ceramic or clay. Let the Gaang show you:

And another note: characters won’t eat “bread” in the European sense, ie. a baked lump of dough. Steamed buns, yes. Fried pancakes made from batter, yes. Flatbreads, okay I’ll give it a pass. Rice or noodles should be the most common carbs of choice.

3.ETIQUETTE

“In the homeland, we bow to our elders” - angry schoolmistress in The Headband.

Japan Guide has a list of etiquette rules for visiting Japan, which is interesting but not too necessary to read. In general, based on what The Headband tells us, Fire Nation characters would have been raised with a strong nationalist curriculum that values communal contribution over individualist expression. Even someone like Zuko, who openly rebels against that, probably couldn’t help but be affected by it. In general the Fire Nation seems to have an East Asian-ish set of values. It’s patriarchal, all the positions of authority are filled by men; there seems to be a strong emphasis on patriotism; there’s a sense of diffidence and respect towards one’s elders; and finally, there’s an emphasis on “knowing” one’s place in society and fitting into what’s expected of oneself.

I don’t really know how to describe it, but in China and Japan I sometimes feel like there’s rules for everything, and even people born and raised there acknowledge it could be stifling at times. You could go down a rabbit hole researching points of etiquette (for instance, rules on who has to sit where in group dinners...), but to me the most important thing is acknowledging that Fire Nation has a rigid system of etiquette, and also, they’re an imperialist power who’s pretty prejudiced against foreigners. Poor Aang/Kuzon gets called “mannerless colony slob” just for being slow on the bowing action (!!!)

(in firebender’s guide I had a lot of fun imagining the stupid microaggressions Ambassador Sokka has to face in the Fire Nation, so obviously I’m just biased)

4.WRITING AND DESKS

Characters would probably write on paper, with a calligraphy brush. Not quills or pens -- a brush. Technically, old Japanese and Chinese texts should be written top to bottom, right to left, but the show itself doesn’t do this, so I think you’re fine. 

One fun thing about traditional calligraphy is that you don’t use bottled ink. You have something called an ink stone, and then you grind your ink yourself by rubbing the ink stone in a special little dish with a bit of water. In my (very few) encounters with this stuff in the calligraphy lessons of my youth, the ink stones can be plain or have beautiful designs on the side. It looks something like this: 

ATLA is an East Asian-ish universe, so characters are likely to be kneeling at a table, not sitting. To demonstrate, here’s my boy Sokka doing his famous rainbow at Piandao’s:

and here’s the war chamber meeting when Zuko speaks out against a general’s plans to sacrifice some soldiers:

THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS: This is Zuko’s cute little setup when he’s writing his goodbye letter to Mai. In this case he’s writing in a chair and table. It’s possible that some furniture items, like a sitting desk and a bed in a bedframe (not a bedroll or futon) are special royal palace features. Normally in a private setting we see characters sitting on the ground or on a slightly elevated platform with a low table. Maybe Caldera is just different? Or rich people are just different: the Bei Fongs also have a sit-down dining table + chair setup.

(That little rectangular box is his ink dish!!)

5.A NOTE ON GENERAL CULTURE

It’s worth talking about a few general points of East Asian culture. I can’t claim to speak for ALL of Asia, and I don’t think I should. But I do think ATLA fic writers who want to set something in the Fire Nation should take a few moments to at least skim the wiki pages for filial piety and Nihonjinron (literally, "theories/discussions about the Japanese"). There’s a certain...vibe to...asianness... that I’m not sure I can explain without like, a doctorate degree in sociology. 

It’s a bit like gender, I guess. There’s no definitive checklist to what is a woman and what is a man, and we can argue that gender is performative, that it’s a construct, but at the end of the day gender is still (tragically) real in the sense that it still shapes people and affects how we walk and talk and dress and think. Nationality is the same. Obviously, the Fire Nation is a made up place in a made up show, but out of respect to the cultures that inspired it, I do think it’s worth familiarizing yourself with some of these cultures’ codes and values.

Also, ahem, if I can direct you to war crimes in the Japan’s colonial empire. Again, worth remembering that the Fire Nation was an imperalist colonizer too.

I might do a continuation of this post and talk through my more abstract takes about Fire Nation culture - Is Zuko an example of filial piety gone right or filial piety gone wrong? Why I think Zuko’s flashbacks are like, at least part teenage melodrama bullshit (the reason is son preference), how someone like Sokka might be treated once he’s openly Water Tribe in the Fire Nation (probably with racism...), specific aspects of asian homophobia and racism, etc. We’ll see.

This is not a definitive guide. Comments and critique welcome.

If you think there’s a factual mistake, PLEASE hop in my asks and let me know. I also think there’s a huge blind spot in ATLA for South and Southeast Asian representation, so I acknowledge that I can’t speak for all Asians, and there is no such thing as a “pan-asian” identity.

If there’s something else you’re curious about, I’m not a historian or anything, but I like research. Ask me and I’ll try to answer the best I can.

And oh, one last thing, this is how I do research when I wrote firebender’s guide, in case anyone’s interested in learning more (LINK)
