truly do find 'perfect' sweet little kids who exist to be cute and protected extremely boring to the point of aggravation but alluka DOESN'T fit that description because she's been neglected and isolated her whole life, she is soul-bonded with a horrifying (to many) and nearly omniscient being, she is endlessly sweet and loving to really only one person, and she STANDS UP TO that person when he hurts someone else she cares about!! she may not have a lot going on but her character and personality contrasts her situation so much to make it really striking. and I'm a sucker for close brother/sister relationships!! so sue me!!!
#not to harp on this again but I would argue despite having similar roles as children supporting the protags and acting as#characters whose very existence means important plot or character things regardless of their personalities#alluka IS better-written than a-yuan. there is genuine conflict there. she has her own loyalties and motivations#on a plot level she may exist to 1. solve a problem 2. separate killua from gon and 3. introduce DC magic#but it doesn't feel like she exists to simply fill a shallow shipping-adjacent role quite so blatantly#or maybe I'm biased against using kids as shipping fodder.#or reducing an entire murdered family to one kid who's only referred to as the son of two unrelated characters. and whose survival#is only of value bc it helps gets them together idk!#I also really dislike how 'good' kids are treated by the narrative.#etc. etc. anyway authority figures and her own parents and siblings hate and fear and disrespect and misunderstand alluka.#and they are wrong! fuck them! it's always felt like togashi's had the backs of the kids he writes#it's um. anti-authoritarian not rly in its themes but in its general approach I think?#hm. can't rly elaborate rn as im sleepy#but alluka's sweetness isn't grating or irritating it's a breath of fresh air in the nightmare that is her home life#and it's a precious and wonderful thing to see her so affectionate with a character we the audience love so much but who has struggled#for so long to leave his past behind and do be a normal kid#her love and her kindness isn't empty or meaningless it's the lifeblood that killua needs to#have a healthy relationship w his best friend#bc it lets him step back and have more than one important person in his life#and he sends that love right back to her!!!! killua isn't just someone starved for love he's starved TO love!#the unconditional love the rest of his familiy has long denied him....he and alluka and nanika all find it with each other#and it's the most beautiful and special thing in the entire series I think. or one of them#cor.txt

I know this is like so random but do you have any geto, gojo, nanami, or megumi ao3 recs because the only good fics I’ve read of jjk are ones you’ve written 😭
you have come to the right place :,) i post more recs than fics at this point haha most of these are copy pasted off previous rec lists but have been added onto! the ones with green + marks are NEW RECS
here's a post on how to use ao3 to find fics by yourself for those who dont know <3
Tumblr media

+ intrinsic warmth: my favourite fic of all time. like genuinely. insane writing, fucking amazing in every sense of the term. 2nd time recommending this! reader's character is so sick BUT updates real slow (which isnt a bad thing!! good things take time!!) so i wouldn't read if you aren't patient // 122k words, 15 chapters, incomplete
+ ripverse: not really a series, more like a compilation of fics! it's got a lot of angst and the one titled 'interlude' contains smut i think so beware, and it's also a lovetriangle/poly-but-geto-goes-crazy-so-not-poly moment // 55k words, 8 pieces
+ the witches' brew: super cute fluff! reader owns a cafe, gojo is a regular, it's all around adorable // 2 chapters, 11k words, completed

+ how to be a human being: 2/2 of the previous rec and the perfect continuation in every sense of the term. oh my gosh, is this masterful- from the relationships & writing of megumi and tsumiki to gojo (i almost forgot this was a rec for him) it's all around amazing // 20k words

okay wait I was onto smth!! maybe!!!
Halloween/Fall Hcs with genshin men!🕸
written w fem reader in mind, established relationships, modern au, light sex joke, ft scara, ajax, lyney
scara
if you're going to want to be out and about on halloween, this is not the guy for you. 100% wants to stay in the whole time
will watch scary movies/play horror games with you, he will any day honestly but- he gets such an ego boost if you hide yourself in his shirt during gorey or freaky parts of movies. he gets so happy that he feels like he can protect you
he will not, under any circumstances, hand out candy to trick or treaters. he will slam the door in a 6 year olds face lmao he thinks it's stupid and will be honest about it. if you have a young sibling, he'll come with you to take them trick or treating (and complain a lot)
he doesn't care for anything sweet, probably opting for sour candies like sweettarts or those weird hard ball things. but maybe if he's feeling generous, he'll buy you some of your favorite treats. even if he hates the sticky sweet gummies and pixie stix you adore, you can bet everything he'll stand in line for hours the day before halloween.
he thinks dressing up is stupid, but you could talk him into a basic couples costume. maybe ghostface and casey (tbh ive never watched scream movies so im going off google) he would probably do that pumpkin head trend with you, he'll feel stupid the whole time but it's worth it to make you happy.
he'd want to carve pumpkins, and he will, but carving them gets difficult for him. it takes a lot of strength to do that, but he will do his best and attempt to help you. maybe it's best to skip this and just paint pumpkins...
you can take him to starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte all you want, but he'll insist on paying and get the worst tasting black coffee every time!! it's even worse because he genuinely likes bitter coffee
overall 10/10 fall boyfie, he doesn't like all the chaos and celebrations, but does enjoy quality time with you<3
ajax
he was literally made for this. he adores autumn and winter. considering he's from shneznaya, he could wear a t-shirt any time in fall and be fine, no matter where you live.
he'll take you to all his friends parties, if your up for it. and you have to have matching costumes, any couple you can think of is a valid costume option. he will be ken. he will wear the fucking roller skating costume. a little off topic but he saw the barbie movie and loved it.
spends halloween hitting up parties and showing off your costumes and takes teucer out to trick or treat at the end of the night. it's literally so cute to see him walking with teucer, eventually carrying him home when it gets too late.
he's so sweet to kids while giving out candy. i think he's the type to have candy bars and other allergy safe options, lollipops and goldfish maybe. the neighborhood kids love his house because of how rich he is, king sized chocolate bars for all. he's such a family man and adores kids so he's made for this.
he goes mad when decorating for halloween, pushing the line between too scary for kids and too cute. somehow it always works out. I feel like he'd be good at decorations because he takes side jobs at haunted houses. he'd be really good at playing a slasher i think.
you'll go to the haunted house he's working at with a group of friends, and he'll end up sneaking up on you from behind, pressing his fake knife to your throat and whispering "boo" it nearly gives you a heart attack but it's mad funny. he definitely gets in trouble for kissing one of the customers, but it's worth it.
if you prefer a calmer way to celebrate, he'll skip most of the parties and have a nice night with you after teucer gets tired out from a sugar rush. you'll snuggle up on the couch together watch whatever scary movies you'd like, he definitely puts up a bunch of candles for the fun atmosphere.
he'll buy you literally anything halloween or fall related. you want a cute new reath for autumn? only the best one on the market for you. want some overpriced seasonal drink? you're having a large and he'll get one too! it's honestly just an excuse to spoil you at this point
he's a 9/10 in this department. would be a 10 if he didn't make jokes about skeletons and boners...
lyney
the halloween boyfriend of the century. he has so much fun with holiday stuff and dressing up makes it even better
he's a performer, he's extra, so he has to win any costume contests! lynette is sick of this nonsense by now but it warms her heart to see you having so much fun helping lyney with his autumnal nonsense.
he's not necessarily one for big halloween celebrations, opting to spend his time hanging out with you and his siblings, possibly telling scary stories. lynette is rather unphased but poor freminet is always freaked out afterwards. there's definitely more than enough marshmallows for all the smores you intend to eat while this goes on.
he'll let you snuggle up next to him around the fire pit if you get a little freaked out. he gets to entertain and be with his lover, two of his favorite things. he'll even roast a few marshmallows for you! but it's expected that you return the gesture.
he'll definitely buy all kinds of dumb halloween decorations from the closest dollar store. don't be suprised when you find plastic spiders placed around the house. he loves to decorate outside of the house, it's slightly obnoxious but you're used to it at this point.
he'll happily take you out for whatever over the top seasonal drink you want, he does this for lynette every year as well. unsurprisingly, she typically becomes the third wheel to these drink based outings. but it's worth it to see lyney fawning over you like a puppy.
as previously mentioned, he dresses up and goes hard on halloween costumes. he'll be the one begging you to match for halloween. he seriously goes hard, the time and dedication of a seasoned cosplayer goes into his costumes.
he's the type to take you to fall festivals and engage in the classic fair games, throwing darts, bobbing for apples, even silly haunted houses. you might end up dragging him into a haunted house, lyney won't get too scared... or at least that's what he says, but he holds your hand the whole time.
a solid 9/10 fall boyfriend, definitely gets into all aspects of october and fall as a whole. he gets a little too carried away and might forget about your scary movie date... but it's okay because now you, him, and both of his siblings all have matching costumes!!
shit i sorta lost motivation with lyneys uhhh it's fineee i just wanted this out for halloween lol

Injuries, Inventions, And Infatuation
–Leo Valdez
A/N: Short drabble! Thought it was a cute scenario, Not proof read! also English is not my first language so please excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes (possibly not book accurate but idk) Content: injured!Leo Valdez x Apollo!Reader Warnings: Fluff, injuries, established relationship Word count: 600+ Thoughts and Requests w/me⚜️
Leo’s siblings practically had to force him to go to the infirmary, He was too focused on his inventions and didn’t even notice how many cuts and bruises he got “god damnit Leo! come- in!” Charles groaned dragging Leo by the collar of his shirt, Lucky for you, you were working the shift that day. Leo was too ashamed to face you, especially since you’ve warned him the last time he went to the infirmary that you’ll prohibit him to work on new projects. You raised your brow at the both of them your gaze focused on the half dry bruises “Ah Here’s your boy” Charles said, pushing the Flush red Leo over to one of the beds making him stumble over to your arms
you quickly caught him, giving him a death glare as he sat down the bed, You then turned back to Charles with a sweet smile “You got it from here? he asked and you replied by giving him a subtle nod and he left the infirmary
“In my defense-” Leo stuttered looking down “what?.” You lifted his chin up so he was facing you eye to eye, he felt his cheeks burn up gulping as he tried to think of what to say “Exactly.” you scoffed turning away from him grabbing medical supplies to bandage his wounds up “why’d you let it get this bad?” you were furious and worried that he haven’t been takin care of himself “Are you mad?” He whispered placing his hands on the back of your waist “don’t- don’t do that.” you murmured slapping his hand away, god this boy knew how to make you fold, You turn back towards him seeing his usual grin plastered in his face “Sit” You demanded tired of his flirting, you weren’t gonna complain though “yes ma’am” was he seriously teasing you to get out of trouble right now? Your eyes rolled back, gently gripping his wrist as you cleaned up his wounds.
“A-ah -ah Careful!” He flinched almost snatching his hand away but you kept a tight grip “Seriously though, You’re so oblivious to your injuries” You scolded but the tone in your voice softened and now gently cleaning up his cuts, He saw your eyes with genuine worry and he felt bad, using his other hand he tucked in a loose strand behind your ear “I’m okay, its just a couple bruises..” He tried to reassure you, kissing your forehead “still! you get too caught up in your inventions, have you even eaten?” You snapped getting tired of him ignoring what his body needs, your brows furrowed when he didn’t answer “i think?” Leo mumbled not entirely sure of when was the last time he ate, you scoffed “my god?, that’s it I’m prohibiting you of making any more new inventions until you Eat, sleep properly!” You purposely tied the bandages tight to make him twitch “That– that’s fair..” He sighed giving in, the corners of his lips curling up as he watched you kiss the bruises and gently rub them.
He’ll never get tired of your scolding though, how you genuinely cared for him, how you acted annoyed every time you saw him in the infirmary, but still patched him up whenever he needed. And even if you were scolding him, his brain wouldn’t process it. Your eyes distracting him with pure worry and focus on him, and how you blushed whenever he would say something suggestive, he loved you when you get mad at him for not taking care of himself, he loved knowing that someone cares about him, he loved you.

Hi! Could you write some headcannons for tbb x body insecure or plus sized reader?
body insecurities [bad batch]
relationships: gn!reader x bad batch
warnings: weight insecurities, echo has body dysmorphia, diet culture, an older sibling being a parental figure, autistic tech struggling w/ emotions, past body shaming
a/n: i love writing for tech but i struggle with his dialogue, if you're a bad batch writer pls send me some tips to making him sound in character <3
Tumblr media
crosshair
• great at reading body language so he can tell when you need comfort even if you don't verbalize it
• he might seem annoyed but that's just his rbf, if he didn't care he wouldn't ask
• the type to be angry when he's worried
• it's eaiser to threaten you then admit he cares
• he'll say stuff like "take a risk like that again and i'll shoot you" or "drink some water dumb ass, i'm not your baby sitter"
• his first reaction is to fight the problem
• "did someone tell you that shit?"
• once he realizes he doesn't need to commit murder he's not leaving you along until you talk
• cross is the best listener and i will die on this hill
• he can seem dismissive of your insecurities but he does care, he just thinks you're wrong lmao
• brutally honest so any praise from him means a lot
echo
• the most empathetic boyfriend part 1
• def has suffered from body dysmorphia so he understands
• but also baffled cuz you're perfect to him
• he's very serious about your mental health so he wants to his a conversation about this
• the most genleman to ever gentleman, he will shower you in love!!
• lots of cuddling and sweet words
• hope you don't have any plans cuz you're not allowed to leave his arms until you feel better
• if you want to eat better that's great! but none of these unhealthy diets you see on the holonet
• no he'll research the best diet/exercise plan for you personally to make sure you're safe <3
• you've helped so much with his confidence he's determined to return the favor
hunter
• instantly knows when something's bothering you
• as the oldest he was forced into a parental role at a young age so he has a lot of expierence with comforting
• will give you a worried dad look until you tell him what's wrong
• he might get a little pushy if you aren't opening up
• he doesn't mean to but worrying about his loved ones is like his default setting
• [protective mode activated] did someone say something? cross will probably help get rid of a body if he asks-
• blames himself for your doubt
• secretly reads/watches romance stories so he'll probably drop some cheesy lines from them
• shows your tummy lots of love, like using it as a pillow while you stroke his hair or sneaking a hand under your top, lulled by your breaths
• cuddles with skin to skin contact are very intimate to hunter cuz of his higtened senses so this is very special privilege
• if it'll give you confidence he offers to work out with you, using the holonet he tries to find 'fun' exercises you can both enjoy (yoga, zumba, etc.)
tech
• he'll get frustrated because he doesn't understand your pov
• he's told you that you're attractive and healthy, why are you still upset?
• hunter has always told him "you can't make others see things the way you do" and it's infuriating for him
• tech is a fixer so he feels helpless when he can't just fix your insecurities
• he'll encourage you to talk to one of his more emotionally intelligent brothers which you take as rejection
• when your eyes fill with tears he panics even more
• "perhaps i should get hunter-" "i don't want your brothers, i want you tech"
• he's quiet for a moment before awkwardly opening his arms, "physical touch causes the brain to release oxytocin, a bonding hormone that strengthens social bonds in mammals. would you like a hug?"
• he's always found you attractive but never voiced it, now he makes sure to tell you every time
• get ready for blunt but 100% genuine compliments like "your chest is distracting in that shirt"
wrecker
• the most empathetic boyfriend part 2
• king of emotional intelligence
• will pick you up and hold you like you're a doll, laughs if you call yourself 'heavy'
• everyone is kind of small to wrecker (even his brothers) so to him you're practically a baby tooka
• but still he takes your feelings seriously
• cadet wrecker was definitely body shamed by regs so he knows how it feels
• showers you with affection 24/7 so it's hard to feel insecure around this guy
• will fight anyone who makes you feel bad >:(
• like hunter, he also offers to work out with you (not just cuz he loves showing off-)
• loves active games, like just dance or wii sports
• is up for any activity has long as you're involved tbh

BLACK COUSINS
i would kill for a good black cousins fic where we talk about their childhoods, how they were when they were younger and all.
how Bellatrix being the oldest took care of all of them, protecting them however she could even of she was strict w them.
how Andromeda was the loving one, always kind and sweet with her younger sister/cousins.
how narcissa tried to take the role of an older sibling for regulus when sirius ran away (as he sould) because she knew what it felt like.
how sirius feels leaving his cousins and brother alone but not regretting his choice and being close to Andromeda again.
and how regulus, the youngest will bring all of them together again because they love him and would do anything for him.
them fixing their relationships with each other and becoming close again, not the same way as they were younger since this time they do not have to watch their actions in fear of enraging their parents and regulus becoming Lord Black and changing the whole house's principles, adding back Andromeda and Sirius and them being genuinely happy in their lives and relationships<3
also narcissa divorcing Lucius and raising draco in a loving environment with his cousin/s (nymphadora tonks loml) because we all know that narcissa would love being a mother🩷
Bellatrix had some difficulties adjusting to this at first but she found herself genuinely happy with her new life and learned to accept everyone surrounding her, she knows it does not excuse what she did or said in the past but she knows shes growing and learning to be a better person.
BLACK SISTERS DESERVE SM BETTER ‼️
if anyone finds a fic where they fix their relationships please let me know, i respect all authors for having the ability to write, wish i had that talent yall fr🙏🏻🤍
SO YEAH I WANT SOME BLACK COUSINS GETTING ALONG WITH A VERY HAPPY ENDING<3

genshin impact ; hcs
sfw. ✩ single!parent reader (neutral gender) brings their child to a date with them.
a/n. ✩ k/n stands for kid name so you decide what it is. reader is neutral however kid is calling the parent mommy. kid is also gender neutral. also the date is not the first which is why the boys are so comfortable w reader.
Tumblr media
featuring: childe, itto, alhaitham.
CHILDE
childe loves kids. and he’s good at dealing with them. he hid it from you on your first date, not because he thought you’d lose interest but he didn’t see the necessity.
he told you he had younger siblings though and the way his eyes sparkled when talking about them made it clear that he loved them.
so when your babysitter said she couldn’t watch over k/n today, you found yourself forced to bring them with you but didn’t think it’d be a problem.
a few days ago, childe had given you the address of a park near his apartment. he told you how the view was breathtaking and that you just had to see it so you agreed.
and there you were, parking your car on the street, a dumb smile on your lips just at the idea of meeting with him again.
you really did appreciate him, and if you were to get in a serious relationship with him, then you might as well reveal him the existence of your child right now.
it was respect. the minimum, especially since you’ve already met several times and there seemed to be some sort of bond creating between you two.
‘y/n, over here !’ you heard his cheerful voice from afar. he walked towards you, a hand in the pockets of his jeans and the other holding his phone.
he showed you the screen, where your last conversation with him was displayed and giggled. ‘was about to text you.’
his eyes were glued to your face and at this point you even asked yourself whether he saw your kid clinging on to your right leg.
‘yeah sorry for being a little late. i had a problem with my babysitter so… i’m introducing k/n to you.’
your heart was beating fast. for some reason your body was telling you that this was a mistake and that you shouldn’t have brought the kid here. not today, not like that.
lots of thoughts that made you slowly dive in fear; fear of being rejected. of course you’d be quick to move on, that man wasn’t yours and you weren’t even in love to begin with.
but as you started to overthink the whole situation, the man before you disappeared from your sight, getting on the kid’s level.
‘nice to meet you k/n. i’m childe.’ he handed out his hand for the kid to take, but since your four year old baby was not really talkative, he hid himself and didn’t take the hand.
‘mommy..’ they whispered, gripping harder on your pants, as if asking you to take them into your arms.
‘oh i’m sorry.. they’re a little shy.’
childe got back up in a second, not forcing any more interaction with the kid and instead looking back at you. his face was relaxed and the smile on his lips genuine when he spoke up again.
‘it’s alright. they’ll relax around me later, i hope.’
childe’s face got closer to yours, slowly going for your lips, and gently caressing your back.
he did make it clear how he had the intention of being more than a random flirt to you. and to see him care so much about your child reassured you, melting your heart.
Tumblr media
ITTO
itto was exactly the type of guy to make you believe there were still some good ones. he was fun, sweet and genuinely caring about your well being
you met several times already but for some reason you didn’t manage to tell him about your kid. you weren’t especially afraid of breaking what was between you two but you needed to wait for the good moment to do so
but in the end, the day where you’d have to tell him wasn’t one you chose because you were forced to bring k/n to your date after your sister let you down at the very last minute
‘y/n hey !’ he shouted from his car when seeing you. he laughed and gave you a soft gaze when telling you he’d park further and join you right after.
‘mommy who is that’ your kid was 6 already and of course they couldn’t resist the urge of asking any question that came to their mind at this age.
you sighed before looking back at him. ‘this is a good friend. his name is itto. to that the kid only shrugged. you both waited a few minutes before seeing him coming to you.
‘hi y/n, looking beautiful as always !’ he shouted.
his natural enthusiasm was always fascinating to you. you couldn’t even remember a single time where itto wasn’t like that; happy and fun.
that part of him was making him look cool to children you thought. you even saw it yourself during the past few dates you’ve been having together.
‘hello itto.’ your child spoke.
he was pretty comfortable towards people but rarely making the first step; especially with adults so you had to admit you got a bit surprised.
itto looked back at the kid before patting his head gently and your child groaned as he kinda messed his hair up. ‘hi buddy. how you doin ?’
to that the kid nodded his head yes, ‘good.’ he only stated before speaking up again ‘mommy says you’re a good friend.’
‘a good friend..’ he started before drawing his attention back to you ‘so they’re your kid ?’ he asked just to make sure even though it seemed pretty obvious judging by the way they called you.
‘sorry about that, my sister couldn’t watch over k/n anymore so i figured it wouldn’t bother if i took him with me today.’
itto laughed. a beautiful laugh. he caressed your chin softly. ‘it’s alright. we’ll have a nice day, perhaps even better.’
he smiled at you and focused back on your kid. in the end he didn’t really pay much attention to you. of course he still stared at you sometimes, and he was still full of affection for you. but he pretty much spent the whole day playing with the kid.
you didn’t mind it though. to see them getting along that well was reassuring you in a way. because now, you definitely knew itto wouldn’t let you down and perhaps he could be a good stepfather for your kid.
judging by the way he seemed so happy to play with them, you figured out you still stood a chance to get with him in a relationship.
Tumblr media
ALHAITHAM
first of all alhaitham is a very busy man so finding a day where you were both free was pretty hard and in the end it happened to be a weekly day
since he suggested an afternoon together you thought you wouldn’t have to worry for your kid since he was at school
but it turned out your child was sick and of course, the teacher called you to come and get him and this was the way you had to announce alhaitham on your third date that you had a kid
‘is anything wrong ?’ alhaitham asked when you pulled the phone away from your ear.
you heaved a slight sigh. it was pretty embarrassing to announce it like that; because now you only thought about his reaction and perhaps he’d think you tried to hide it from him.
of course you were going to tell him about it. the feeling with him was super intense; and it seemed to be reciprocated since alhaitham texted you back after your very first dates.
‘yeah. i have to go and pick up k/n at school because they’re sick.’ you said.
alhaitham frowned. then he questioned you.
‘who’s k/n ?’
you looked away for a second and then back at him as you announced him the existence of your seven year old kid.
alhaitham’s face remained stoic, cold even. and you started to think this was not the man you thought he was. because if he wasn’t ready to accept and care about your kid; you couldn’t be with him.
but as the many thoughts we’re starting to give you a headache; he gave you a really slight smile. ‘i’ll take you there.’ he said, taking your hand in his and guiding you towards his car that was parked not too far.
‘please don’t feel forced, i will go alone it’s alright.’ you were a bit embarrassed since your kind was still stuck on the idea that he didn’t like the news of you having a kid already; but in fact it was his way of making you understand that he had no issues at all with this situation.
in the end, after he insisted, you agreed to let him drive you to the elementary school.
you got inside alone while he was waiting for you in the car. he would never admit it, but he was kinda nervous because he really did like you and well; he didn’t want your kid to despise him. so when you got back to his car, opening the door for your kid to get in; he smiled and turned back at the kid.
‘do you like mcdonalds?’
‘yeah duh. who doesn’t.’ the child replied and you stared at them, widened eyes thinking of how rude he sounded.
‘i’m sorry. he’s a bit straightforward.’ you sat back next to alhaitham, whose hand caressed your thigh in a gentle way. ‘he reminds me of a younger version of me.’
‘ew.’ you heard the kid groan to the sight of his parent getting hit on by a stranger he only just met and it kinda made alhaitham giggle. he for sure didn’t expect your sophisticated date to turn into this: him, buying fast food for your kid while you glare at him because the kid was sick.
but deep down you knew he only wanted the kid to feel comfortable around him and you truly hoped this was because he intended on making you his official partner later.
little did you know, he was only waiting for the moment he’d take the two of you to your place to kiss you and making things official.

About my Illness Whump Guilty Passion:
Tumblr media
I really enjoy it ^-^
The only whump content I enjoy is illness whump. (no others) Why? Because content around it is usually super fluffy and wholesome. (plus anime characters specifically look really cute when they're sick. The flushed faces, the messy hair and the cozy pjs... and the weak tired voices… gah its all so cute!! >w<)
Tumblr media
My personal favorite trope to play with is high fevers, migraines, and exhaustion/fainting 🌡️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Colds/Flus are super fun too (tho I'm not too graphic on it as some people are) 🤧I'm not too into snz (its fine) but I do like coughing a lot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm not into emeto as an actual emetophobic with irl people…💦 However, sometimes I can write it in an implied sense with little graphic detail. And at times I do enjoy reading it if its not TOO graphic. 🤢 (I'm better with it in fictional media and art, but if it's irl emeto with real people vomiting, then nope THAT triggers me.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Reasons illness/caretaking hurt/comfort tropes are my favorite
I love when a usually strong, serious, stoic (or asshole) character becomes more vulnerable when they're taken down by illness (bonus points if they become super needy >w<)
Tumblr media
Really great fluff fodder for a Parent/Guardian and Child type of relationship. Or even a found-family situation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Super wholesome and sweet for shipping, siblings, or close friendships. In sickness and in health as they say :3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
~
It is not in any way a kink for me. It's just a trope I really enjoy and fangirl over, but I never get off on it. It just makes me genuinely happy. Its a comfort of sorts to me💜
Its my favorite type of genre to read and watch. And I even write/draw/edit it myself sometimes c: And I usually have my favorite character as the victim of it :3c
Tumblr media
It's also made me really like nurse-aesthetics. Especially masks and thermometers >w<
Just wanted to gab a bit about this.
Here's my AO3 if you wanna read my few fics I have written~
And this is my prime whumpee~🌡️💊

hiiii! I can ask for some hdcns for hajun, allen, kanata with an orphan mc fem who also has a younger sister whom she loves very affectionately and teaches (things like sums, reading, etc.) since they can't attend school je, well In summary, how would they react to a tender relationship between sisters~ (since we have seen several brother relationships in the anime, so I was wondering how things would be with a fluffy and sweet relationship between sisters with a lot of hug uvu) I hope I have explained myself well ;u; tell me if something was not understood and I will rephrase it again, tkm <33
┈➤ that's such a cute request! Hopefully, this will suffice for your scenarios, please enjoy!

Allen Sugasano
he notices you with a scratch paper you hold with. Allen was quick to take an interest in
Aware of the circumstances your life has been through he is sure to ask why you have that paper along with you. It didn't shrug the fact you said you want to teach your sister back at home today.
Allen wanted to help and the care and concern he shows he visiting you two at your house
It wasn't pretty much shabby nor abandoned as you mainly took care of everything around. Managing only you and your little sister, which Allen admires that of you
He sees your little sister at the front door directly she greets him before rushing you with a big hug
How cute isn't it? Allen was a bit cautious about wherever places he went, shy enough to bow as he walked inside
You prepared a small table with the scratch paper on your hands and placed it along with a notebook and a pen
"New lesson to teach her?" Allen asked as he watched you
You answered yes to the hip-hop genius with a soft smile showed your face. When your little sister arrives back to see you handling a new topic she has quipped her attention to you as you speak
Something Allen felt was genuinely unconditional that you wanted to help her know the bigger things and the outside world which he had a heartfelt weight on his chest. Chuckling as he also joined the discussion.
Wholesome moment when you put a lot of effort into telling your little sister what's good and bad, and there's nothing to be afraid of risking challenges in it too
You were a standing mother to her, she is more important to you than anyone else which Allen understands as he listens to you.
There are random conversations that relate to your new topic and yet rambles that your sister will find entertaining even in the slightest thought. Allen stares at you without any notice as you are focused on telling more about your sibling.
There are moments Allen grew fonder of your sibling relationship that he caters his time to talk with your little sister too.
He knows how hard it is to live up to the reality you've been facing. As Allen was supposed to leave, he chuckled and smiled at you saying "You know what? I think you'll be a great teacher someday. If I were to help you. I thank you for such a good role model for her."

Hajun Yeon
Such an observer, he would help you out about things with you and your little sister
But you were a persistent older sibling to her no matter what which Hajun respects
Something Hajun finds in someone that he wished to feel for throughout his past life with a rich family. Love wasn't something he saw nor felt within his presence before, until the picture of you and your littlbutister's bond
Hajun can only think and imagine how life was been for you to pursue just for this little lady. He sometimes assists you around when you need him. Education is a treasure that he believes in, despite the difference in his experience between the two of you. He wouldn't miss a chance to help out as well
Funny that sometimes Hajun would slide sarcastic comments about your teachings to your little sister which ends up with him and your sibling picking a tease on you. But who doesn't it? Hajun as his ways to do so
He feels like he is also part of this bond you two had. Even your little sister starts to call him "oppa" when he comes around visiting your place.
He makes sure to bring some books, papers, notebooks, and pens to find. He showers your little sister with gifts he knows she can appreciate.
Of course, you're not missing out. Hajun isn't the type to be verbal, but showing his side of effort and gifts are his ways.
Aside from that, it's a relief you're not the only one helping out to teach your little sibling. Hajun gives the best learnings for her to share as he was given the best education. So he wouldn't be shy about it.

Kanata Yatonokami
As Kanata relates to this kind of situation. He always reminds him and Nayuta in this case. He sees you with your little sister laughing as you discuss lots of things going on. The world outside is mysterious and something to explore.
He simply agrees with a few things you teach her, there are times when Kanata's words are full of direct bluntness which he says they should know as early as possible before they can step up the reality.
In hindsight of this relationship that you and your little sister had he couldn't deny thinking of Nayuta the way you take care of her. Every patience, every moment you worded for her about the things she should be grateful for and that she doesn't need to do for their living survival? Thus, other things you would do to sacrifice in order not to lose someone special, and a family? Kanata felt that.
You're like a mother to her the way Kanata stands up doing odd jobs for a living, a standing parent for their siblings. Finally, another one who can relate to his struggles
When you're out going to buy some new notebooks for your little sister which are mostly used for her random scribbles. Kanata simply talks to the kid randomly while you're away
Your little sister is just being a child of her own, scribbling on her notebook as she presents it to Kanata.
He blinked and laughed noticing this little kid drew him, "You're something huh?"
He never felt like this being close to someone and yet welcomed. Like how he and Nayuta only had each other, he could only hope that Nayuta was here with him. Pretty sure you'll be the only person Kanata understands more by how this situation is meant for you two to talk about.
As you go home by the time, Kanata is just talking to your sister as she still scribbles in her notebook. You noticed Kanata's doodle of him and your sister together playing. There's a note from your little sister that says "big brother" on her paper.
Chuckling aside, you excused Kanata to let your sister behave and they shall start their learning fun. Kanata is willing to stay for long as he sees what bond you two have.
He didn't find it boring when you talked about other things aside from how to write and read. You taught your little sister some basic math you know. Even kidding aside if Kanata knows something which he slyly ignores that you find adorable his reactions are.
Daily he goes to see you and your little sister having quality time together there are no instances that your bond with her reflects where he and Nayuta spend.

7. Hi! I saw a previous 'I'm in the mood for...' that included a rec blog that specialised in novel-canon fics - I wondered if you know of one that focuses solely on cql-canon fics? Or if you could rec authors who write mainly in that canon? Thank you!!
Treemaidengeek writes exclusively in CQL canon. She tends to specialize more in rarepairs, but also has some Wangxian, and she's an excellent writer!

10. Hi! So I was looking on the mdzs wiki and under wwx's clan it says Gusu Lan(current, by marriage) and it awakened Feelings in me so I'd like to ask for fics where wwx is recognized/referred to/acknowledged as a GusuLan member after wangxian gets married please! Thank you 🙏🙏

warnings/things to note: female reader, potentially autistic Copia (it just comes naturally i'm sorry), secret relationships, possibly suggestive undertones?? idk bro i just write
enjoy <3
word count: 1,517 words.
A few weeks had passed since your first date with Copia. Not much has happened since then, which was fine with you. However, the fact that you were no longer watching the little ones made you a bit lonely in the ministry library. There were a few perks to working in the library, though. A couple groups of Siblings would normally come in every so often to gossip about any and everything, which you didn't mind overhearing. And they were glad to share with you! You were so likeable by everyone, so kind and generous, so witty and hilarious.
When they finally had to leave for their classes, you decided to pop a random record into the player. What type of records did the ghouls like to collect? You decided to investigate that later as you settled on an ABBA collector's edition vinyl. You studied the sleeve before pulling out the disk, noticing that it'd been played multiple times before.
You were organizing a shelf of books near the corner where your desk was, humming along to the song Angeleyes. You were so focused on your task that you didn't hear the door open, nor the footsteps approaching you.
"Ah, A-Angeleyes, huh? I... Personally, I love that song."
You knew that stutter from anywhere.
You turned around and smiled widely as your eyes were greeted by Copia. Instantly your mood boosted by at least 50 percent. "Oh! Hi, Cardi! What brings you here?" You chirped happily, now trying to multitask talking to him and sorting the books.
"Oh, uh... S-Sister, I just wanted to say that I- I....... I don't know. I just wanted to say hello..." he chuckled nervously at himself. "I'm not very good at this."
Oh, he was trying to flirt with you! Copia was never the best at it before, but now after the night in the gardens with you, every time he got a glance at you made his heart skip a beat. "I... erm... I want you to know that I missed you, a-and, um... I am so happy right now."
Was he... shy? That's adorable.
"Aw, you're so sweet, Cardi! You have a big heart, y'know?" you tittered at his shyness, watching his body language. Wait... was he hiding something behind his back? Odd.
"Whatcha hiding over there?" You asked in a sing-song voice, pretending to peek at what he was hiding behind his back.
Copia's face turned pink as you brought yourself closer to him. "I... w-well, uh... erm... oh, what the hell. Here, for you..." He revealed a white rose, holding it out for you to take. "It's my favorite flower... a-and I wanted to give it to my beautiful girl," he said bashfully, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand.
Your heart started to melt right then and there. How did Copia know your love language was receiving gifts? You felt even more special when he said that white roses were his favorite, and he was giving one to you! You gasped, taking the rose stem delicately in your fingers. "Oh, you didn't! You're so kind!"
Why did this gift feel different? Other guys have given you the same exact thing sometimes, but this felt more important than those gifts. Were you genuinely catching feelings for this silly rat man? This caused you to blush.
Copia chuckled a bit. "Oh, I did... because you deserve it. You're the sweetest girl I know, and you deserve a gift."
He looked into your eyes and smiled. "Ah, it's just a rose from the gardens, it's not the most valuable thing. But it's a part of me that I want to give you and keep forever... j-just like you." He swallowed after he spoke, mentally cursing himself for stuttering towards the end. Satanas below, why did it have to be so difficult to talk to you?!
You hummed in contentment, placing a gentle hand to his cheek. "If you get any sweeter, I might have to go to a dentist and get checked for cavities!" you teased, moving your hand to press a light kiss on his cheek.
"Ohhh, Sorella..." he mumbled something in Italian that you couldn't quite hear well, but you saw him fiddling with his thumbs. You made him flustered. Cute!
"Well, now I have to get you something, so it's fair!" you pouted as you stared at the white rose in your hand, admiring its beauty.
"E-Eh?! N-No, no, no! Per favore, n-no need to get me anything! Just seeing the smile on your face is all I need." he said quickly, feeling terrible at the thought of you cutting your precious time out to get him something in exchange for a rose.
You felt a little bad but decided to let it go for the time being. "Alright, then..."
"I-If anything, I'm not good enough for you, Sister... the rose should have been good enough." he mumbled quietly, thinking that he didn't deserve her; he'll always try his best for sure, but you... you were perfection.
That put a cheeky smile on your face, and you let out a small giggle. "Oh, I'm gonna put this on my desk, I'll be right back." You turned on your heel and walked to your desk, moving a stack of papers so that your vase with the single white rose sparkled in the sunlight.
Copia watched you, resisting the urge to reach out and pull you back to him, to hold you in his arms. He felt his heart beating so hard against his chest he thought it may explode. He wanted to lean in and kiss your perfect, pouty lips just like that night in the garden.
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he spoke out loud accidentally, "...Why are you so perfect?"
"Mm, I dunno. I just am." you shrugged, a playful smirk on your face. It was cute that he didn't even notice he'd said those words out loud until your reply, which made him bury his face in his hands and coaxing a chuckle out of you.
He let out a flustered grumble. "Y-You know I think you're more than perfect. I- I can't find the right word for it yet, but... y-you're like an infernal goddess. I can't help but admire you. Satanas, you're truly a gift from below, I swear to it."
You tilted your head, so it rested on your own shoulder, smirking at him and pulling him into an embrace. You also took this opportunity to stare into those beautiful, mismatched eyes of his. "You fell madly in love with me already, huh Cardi?" you giggled as he started to snake his hands around your waist, pulling you in just a bit closer.
"Ehh... maybe just a little." he chuckled, lifting his hand to show you the little space in between his thumb and index finger.
You raised an eyebrow at that.
He widened the space the more you stared. "...Maybe just a little more than a little?" he chuckled sheepishly.
You kept your eyebrow raised.
"Ah! Okay, fine! Maybe a lot. Maybe- Maybe you should- uh... something. I... I forgot."
You both laughed at this, pulling each other closer.
"We're supposed to be keeping us a secret, y'know..." you reminded, smiling at him. He grinned innocently, pulling away slowly and looking around to make sure no one was watching the two of you.
"Okay, okay, you caught me. I love you tons, contento? But you are right, this isn't the best idea to do this in public. But... if it were under the circumstances of it being 'just us'... would I get a hug? M-Maybe even a kiss?"
"Hmm..." You pretended to think, just to spite him. Of course, you already knew the answer. "Under the circumstances of it being just us... whatever would we do?" "Oh, I know! What about... your room, 8pm tonight. I'll bring a bag and stay over?" you asked in a mischievous tone, your smirk still evident on your face.
Copia's face flushed a bright crimson at what you were implying. Did you want to-- with him?!?! Was he even that lucky?! Copia's mouth hung open for a second before sputtering a response. "Wha- I- you- me- we- uhh... erm... I- yes! Okay! Okie dokie... good, good...."
You laughed at his adorable reaction, pulling away from him to go back to work. "Y'know, the Siblings were talking about you earlier. They said you keep pet rats. Some couldn't believe it. But it got me thinking, and I want to see for myself if the rumor is true!"
"I- wha? Oh! Yes, o-of course!" he cleared his throat (and his thoughts), nodding. "W-Well, um... I guess I'll see you tonight then, Sister." He tried playing it cool, but everyone could tell how excited and nervous he was to see you tonight. You! Tonight! In his room! His mind was racing a mile a second as he spun around and scurried away to his room, resisting the urge to kiss you goodbye.
As for the rumor, well. That was true.

So I just wanted to let you know that I am still thinking about Tom and his dad's relationship. I have just now finished another reread of I'll ride and just. You wrote their relationship with so many facets I am in awe. Tom thinking his dad does not love him, thinking he is not enough, basically raising his sibling and trying his best to defend them. Meanwhile Bill constantly criticizing but still loving his children so much? I loved reading the scene where Bill carefully cradles Tom's face and softly brushes away his hair after the bird strike, first from Tom's perspective and later on Mav's? Beautiful. Just in general, Mav observing this whole clusterfuck and still knowing that Bill loves Tom, that he cares for him?! I also truly think Bill might not have known how well Tom did in a) the Academy and b) in the Navy/his career so far. I love seeing Mav standing up for Tom and just hammering it home how good Tom is, how excellent he is. I think Bill just decided against actually finding out about Tom's talents and capabilities the second Tom decided to go Navy instead of Marines, you know? That five year period of them not talking? Or maybe he just needed an outsider's perspective and judgement on Tom. And what I really really love? I know you said it in multiple other answers already, but Bill being kind of nice, warm, patient (grandfatherly?) with Bradley is so jarring to see and makes the whole strained relationship he has with his children so bittersweet. We know he struggled with the end of his career and differentiating between career and family, but ultimately he is capable of being a family person and he is really good with Bradley. About Bradley's clay medal, about all his tank questions, when he attends Bradley's T-Ball game. It's so sweet and just gives all of this heaps of complexity because he is not just this strange bad dad who did not want to be a dad. Like yes we see him more lenient/slightly more supportive with Tim and Rachel and Sarah but it is not the same. Oh and I am 100% sure that the moment that cemented to Eleanor that Pete was family and only has Tom's best interests at heart was when Pete argued with Bill during Thanksgiving. That scene makes my day, how he casually speaks up, does not back down, Pete ends the discussion not Bill and how Pete immediately compliments Eleanor's cooking afterwards. Just Pete showing his Mav-side: being polite and charming after standing up for Tom and showing his slightly feral side. Just. I am genuinely in awe how you depict all kinds of relationships with so many layers. So realistic and wholesome!
Nonnie this lives in my head rent free, just so you know. Please allow me to talk a bit more about who Bill Kazansky is as a person, and why I actually love him a whole whole lot despite how complicated the man is, because you really only see him from Pete & Tom's perspective, but the fact that Bradley loves him in about .5 seconds is kind of a clue to who he really is deep, deep down.
Spoilers under the cut!
One of the themes of this story is, "What does it mean to be a father?" There are so many different ways to do it and it often has nothing to do with blood relations. But Tom is definitely learning what exactly it means to be a father through his relationship with Bradley, and it's kind of going to be a key going forward because he has a different perspective he didn't have before Bradley became such an integral part of his life. Ditto for Pete, just in a different way, and his relationship with Viper is equally complicated just in different ways.
Bill is a very multifaceted guy. I think it's important to think of him in the context of his life experiences. He fought in the Vietnam war and that really changed who he was, fundamentally, as a person. PTSD is definitely on the table, even though our understanding of PTSD has changed so much in recent years and back then they only sort of knew that it was even something that happened (shell shock, battle fatigue, etc, we all know what they actually mean is PTSD, something they understood much better by studying veterans of the Vietnam War).
Coming home for Bill was hard. Loud noises were hard. Sudden movements were hard. The dark was hard. Cars backfiring were hard. Screaming was hard. And he lived in a house with little kids at the time all of them clamoring for his attention because Daddy was home, and I think that probably just about killed him, and there is definitely a lot of guilt there. Deep down he knows he wasn't the kind of father they needed back then; couldn't be, was incapable of being, because he was so traumatized by what he saw/experienced/had to do in the name of his country.
To me, Bill probably took as many opportunities to not be home as he could. He would have had nightmares, flashbacks, the whole nine yards. He would have been irritable and short tempered and easily triggered, and I think he probably yelled, and he probably felt so guilty afterwards that he wanted to die. I feel like he probably clung to his wife a lot and sobbed into her shoulder at night when nobody could see him, and I think Eleanor probably struggled so much to take care of her kids and now suddenly have her sweet, caring, wonderful husband reduced to this broken man who was a shadow of his former self. His nightmares probably woke the whole house until he started to avoid sleeping, and that probably just turned things even worse.
(Now I want to write this from Bill or Eleanor's POV but it will honestly break my heart so maybe not but I digress as I often tend to do).
It makes me a little sad that some have asked if he hit his kids... I think Bill is the kind of guy who is terrified of hurting them, and so he distanced himself while he tried to get his head back on straight. Keep in mind this was the 60's-70's so talking about it was out of the question (they just didn't DO THAT back then, you know? Not regularly or in any way accepted by society). He was trying to work through it all on his own not wanting to be a burden.
What Bill needed was help, therapy, a healthy outlet. What he got instead was more training, volunteering to be out in the field as much as possible because that was normal to him. He knew how to function there; he did not know how to function in a warm house in a soft bed with a loving wife and little kids who just wanted to be with him.
And Tom? Well, he remembers. He was born in 1961, so baby Tom remembered Daddy before Vietnam. Maybe not anything sharp or exact, but to a young Tom (because believe me, little kids remember deep down even if they don't have a specific memory), it would have been so jarring having this stranger with his dad's face in his house, because where was the guy who cuddled him? Read to him? Why is daddy mad all the time? Why is he yelling? Why doesn't he love me?
Meanwhile, Bill eventually got better or as better as he could get in the context of the time period. Functioning, you could even say. Everyone telling him to just forget Vietnam ever happened while people spit on him etc (I do not envy Vietnam veterans, many of whom were drafted, having to go through what they went through, but I'm trying to stay on topic here). So, being a logical military man, he probably compartmentalized like hell and just locked it all away (Sound familiar? Looking at you, Thomas).
Then his girls were there, and they weren't wary of him like the boys had learned to be because they'd been far too little, and it was probably so relieving to him that they could just know him as he was now and not how he was before. And that definitely plays into the dynamics between the whole family, and why Tim gets away with what he does because it's hard for Bill to reprimand him as much as he does the older boys, because that's his baby, but it also frustrates him because Timmy often goes to Tom when he needs things and not him by virtue of Tom being there all the time and Bill only being there sometimes.
Anyway, the point is, William "Bill" Kazansky is a deeply traumatized person who puts up a good front of being America's Golden Boy, Decorated Colonel, Celebrated Military Officer, Beloved By His Men For Sticking With Them In The Trenches. But deep down he's just as broken as everyone else.
And then Ellie comes along and it's a balm to his heart because she just loves him to bits and pieces and doesn't give a flying fuck about family history because she's three and convinced she's the center of the universe (as all three year olds are wont to do). Bradley then enters his life, and he's young and desperate for attention and reminds him so much of Tom that it breaks his heart a little bit, because once upon a time Tom asked him a million questions an hour just like Bradley does, and he wants to talk about tanks and the Marines and what it was like to ride in helicopters (a topic most in the Kazansky family avoid, because they are perfectly aware that the Vietnam War was not a cakewalk).
Anyways. I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you for noticing that Bill is a human being and a complicated one at that. I tried to make him as human as I could and I've read so many articles about the Vietnam War I feel a little crosseyed sometimes, but he's not a bad guy, not at all. Just an idiot sometimes, but then again, aren't we all?
Also, while we're on the topic, Bill Kazansky likes Pete Mitchell a whole hell of a lot even if it's grudging. Pete was the first person in literal years to call him on his shit to his face (who isn't his wife, anyway), and while he didn't enjoy it at the time, it definitely made him sit up and pay the fuck attention, not just to Pete, but to Tom, too.
Do with that information what you will.

At least, Cersei is the one to refuse to go public with their incestous relationship and isn’t out there proposing to marry Myrcella to Tommen, unlike Saint Jaime who call his sister ‘queen of whores’, treat her as his property, and victim-blame her (I tell you, he [Robert] loves me not/And whose fault is that, sweet sister ?), and never spare a thought for Tysha (or Bran for that matter), but thats normal, its because he’s a feminist and teenage girl-coded. No wonder he has some sympathy for Criston Cole, lmao. Do people genuinely believes Jaime is a victim of patriarchy and that his gender doesn’t favor him over Cersei ?? Insane. Can’t wait for him to die. It’s 2023, Jaime isn’t Adam and Cersei isn’t Eve, dude is a misogynistic, racist and hyperprivileged white man and his father’s golden boy. Funny how you all talk like Green/Criston’s stans when it comes to Cersei and Jaime.
*EDITED POST* (9/21/23)
Probably from this recent post that itself has 3 links to other posts where I talk about Cersei as a character.
Um...when did I ever either imply or directly say that Jaime was "a victim of patriarchy and that his gender doesn’t favor him over Cersei"? Or express that he was better than his sister, morally? Or express that Cersei deserved to die more than he did?
Perhaps you have that impression because I never talked about Jaime exclusively once, or you're just going off of what you recently read and horribly misinterpreted the purpose and argument of that post. If the latter, I advise you to reread. If the first, I don't write about Jaime much simply because he doesn't interest me as much as Cersei or Tyrion, no one asked me my thoughts about him, and I'm not thinking of him apart from his relationship with Cersei or Tyrion. His knighthood and masculinity are...not "easy", but direct enough for me to not dwell as much as his other siblings' issues. (look to this post by blankwhiteshield about Jaime) I generally care more about women, children, and other marginalized people in fiction, even when I do sympathize with some white cis straight men some of the time.
I mean pre-Brienne Jaime. That's just how GRRm wrote his arc.
For me, blankwhiteshield's posts about Jaime HERE and HERE both suffice to give me a picture of who Jaime is bc they fill in some blanks I had in my pre-existing assessment of Jaime. Which actually wasn't favorable, anon. I find Jaime to actually be very annoying, and no, I do not think that he is Cersei's victim. He is deluded in some ways as much as her and is not a good person because of the abuse and emotional neglect they all get from Tywin/Westerosi society. I actually should have, since again, there were blanks. You can take a look at those links as well.
Look, Cersei is evil & abusive AS WELL AS a victim of domestic abuse woman & of misogyny since childhood. These are not mutually exclusive nor does it NOT mean that her domestic abuse only and directly caused her power-hungriness and need to control if not every, most aspect of her life and those she sees will help her get or maintain control and a good image of herself. Neither the abuse nor misogyny against her erases the fact that she develops hatred towards women, going so far as to violently and sexually objectify them like w/Taena. (Her using what she's observed men do to affirm power and copying it). Or that she pinched her baby brother's penis at a very young age, showing her classist and blase willingness to target children/one of the most vulnerable groups for her own sense of control over her husband, family, etc., and political power. She is also very willing to sacrifice/risk the entire city for her own control of power, similar to Aerys II. Cersei is complicated and there is nuance to her character, but she is unmistakably evil simultaneously. What I like about her or what I find compelling about her (if you haven't read the post about it) is that I can understand her motivations, and relate in some ways, and from practically babyhood she's been trying to be essentially "good enough" and perfect through external, social values of competency BUT also as someone has said: her need for perfection and power and total love comes across as pure in its own sort of twisted way. Her emotions are so intense and uncontrolled and she remains totally unaware of her loneliness that she comes across as childlike.
I also find it very funny how you're criticizing show!Rhaenyra for wanting to marry Jace to Helaena (I presume, you don't specify but that is the closest betrothal to the one you make b/t Myrcella and Tommen) when you say: "At least, Cersei is the one to refuse to go public with their incestous relationship and isn’t out there proposing to marry Myrcella to Tommen". Because while this would have done nothing to assuage Alicent--which was what Rhaenyra was trying to do--it was also not that bad of a deal for Helaena or Jace themselves. I personally dislike it bc, again, we're erasing Rhaenyra's relationship w/Laena and how she ever made it so that Jace married Laena's daughter...but I digress. OR you probably were referring to Jaime expressing the desire to go public with their relationship, that conversation? Again, what does this have to do with my argument in the post I recently posted and that I assume you're responding to?

a/n : been trying to write about this man for a long time but couldn't find out how so here we are... a genuine attempt to write about him so might be ooc!
summary : taiju shiba fluff as taiju is a religious man and he genuinely thinks you're an angel God have sent to Earth.
wc : 752
Tumblr media
it was Sunday which meant taiju had a preach at the church to attend early today. he cannot afford to be late so he woke up extra early to comb his hair and suited up for his weekly preach. taiju shiba was a simple man. after being in a wrong relationship with his siblings after the death of their mother, taiju simply became selfish and took love and turned it into violence. however taiju now is a changed man and he will protect his relationships as best as he can.
if only there was someone who he could share warmth with, share stories with.
taiju shiba has planned to get married before but going around to church and having to attend preach and doing tons of baptist chores, he didn't had the time to look for someone. it was also because his past history, the fear he holds that creeps to his spine just thinking about hurting his loved ones again.
taiju arrived at the church exactly at 9 at the morning just an hour before the preach and was greeted by the local sisters. he went to the back part of the old building to prepare himself and prayed a little prayer, to seek strength and courage from the Lord. while he was doing so, he was interrupted.
"excuse me? father shiba?" he opened his eyes and looked at you. oh, how your beauty stunned him. you were wearing a white gown which fall just after your ankle and wore a cute pretty pink ribbon hairband. eventhough taiju was sitting you were still shorter than him so taiju imagined you'll look even shorter if he stand. that might scare you, he thought so he remaindd seated.
"yes, may i help you with anything?" he asked while boring his eyes on your lovely face. he stared at your dreamy eyes, how your bangs almost fell, how you were slightly frowning, your lips slightly ajar and you were wearing a pearl earring. wait, you were frowning?
"father? father, are you alright? my apologies i might have been rude for interrupting your preparation before your preach. if you'd like i'll come back and be back after the preach?" you said. oh how you didn't knew, you didn't he was merely admiring you. how you looked you magnificent that he thought God rewarded him with an angel.
"yes, well i hope to prepare first but i'll see after the preach. only then we'll have the every minute in the world to discuss whatever it might be about" he said while meekly smiled and you walked pass him after saying good luck to him. how you were so sweet he didn't realized thst the weekly preach has come. so for the first time after seeing you in your seat, smiling brightly to him, the infamous father taiju shiba stammered. the audience was a bit shocked but after a while he managed to finish his preach without any stutters or stammers and ended it with a round of claps from the audience.
while evergbody was leaving, taiju used his tall figure for his advantage and searched for you. after a while he saw you outside of the building buying a small trinket from the local's. you noticed him and started to walk towards while he did the same, cutting the distance.
"father shiba, that was a great preach. i'm glad that i got to hear that" you compliment made his stomach flopped and it wasn't from anger. it was purely from happiness. "well, you shouldn't flatter me too much now i may force you to say it everyday" he teased making you slowly laugh. oh that laugh, what a harmony that he's willing to do everything to hear it again.
"well father shiba i'll say-"
"taiju. just call me taiju" he said again while averting his gaze, fearing that he will fall for you again but even harder.
"well taiju, i'm y/n and i'm also new to town. maybe give me a quick tour or-?" you prolonged the question and now it was your turn to study his face. he was red, oh he was red and he couldn't even covered it.
"alright then y/n let's go let's not dilly dally anymore the town isn't small-"
"are you possibly blushing right now taiju?"
"AM NOT"
well said you two had a great time together and he now looked forward to waking up everyday knowing you were existing in his life, to make his life better.

Hi! Can I get a match for The hunger games, MCU, Harry Potter, and the umbrella academy? I get if it’s too much then just the first one is fine.
I’m 5’7 almost 5’8. My hair is a little more than shoulder length; my roots are black but lead into a dark hunters/forest green and my bangs are auburn. Then I have 2 braided strands decorated with beads. I have a eyebrow and nose ring with 13 ear piercings and really dark brown eyes. I have kinda pear build w a little pudge ngl. I also always have acrylics (stiletto ofc :) )
My mbti type is INTJ. I definitely keep to myself and wait to be approached by others. Although I tend to take a leader role in almost any situation. My anxiety is through the roof especially in social settings. I have very few friends because people don’t meet my expectations or they “can’t break through my wall”. I have no filter and am overly blunt. People think I’m super rude and bitchy but I genuinely think I’m a sweet person; just very very selective. Overlay sarcastic and monotone too. I enjoy reading books and writing and listening to music. I write my own poetry too. I have the biggest soft spot for animals. I’m not very athletic. I’m definitely the brains instead of Braun. Not to brag but I’m extremely smart. I rely on logic more than feelings. I have a hard time opening up and caring about people. But when I do it’s one of those things where I do it hard. I’m a different person in public than behind closed doors for sure. My love language is gifts either giving or receiving and acts of service. I have really bad and unhinged irritability/anger and tend to lash out a lot. I shut off and isolate then tend to struggle with expressing myself. I’m super super stubborn and ambitious, only assertive too.
Idk if this is relevant or not but my favorite quote is: “Who is it that can tell me who I am?”
Hey there, thank you so much for requesting!
————————————————————
Your Hunger Games match is…
Johanna Mason
Tumblr media
Likes that you can be the leader
No filter and blunt?
You two have that one in common
Johanna ain’t really into books, but she’d listen to you telling her what happened in the book etc
She would have some comments though
You’re the only person she cares about
Very protective
Makes fun of you for being “smart-ass”
Not in a bad way
But she secretely likes how smart you are
As we all know Johanna also has a problem with anger
But she’d never lash out at you
Is actually a softie when it comes to your feelings
She cares about you
Likes the fact that you’re ambitious and stubborn
Even though the stubborness would annoy her sometimes
Johanna is also stubborn so she has no problem arguing all day long
She hates arguing with you though
Your MCU match is…
Eddie Brock
Tumblr media
Firstly: Venom likes you too
Eddie is definetly awkward at first in the relationship
Makes fun of the fact that you can be bitchy
Teasing
Likes the fact that you’re smart, but won’t admit it
Backs the fuck up when you lash out at it
Which makes Venom tease him about being scared of you
You’re the only one who he trusts enough to tell you about Venom
He likes how you look like
And how you behave
Is acting slightly like a bitch ‘cause that’s just part of his personality
He actually wouldn’t dare to lash out at you
Thinks you’re pretty much badass
Cocky bitch
Gets awkward whenever you and Venom talk to him at the same time
Your Umbrella Academy match is…
Five Hargreeves

He really likes how smart you are
Protective very much, thank you
Five really enjoys your personality
He ain’t good with feelings or comforting, but he’s here for you 24/7

Or just lash out at you too
Extremely proud that he’s dating you
He can kill for you easily
Likes the fact that you can take the leader role
Luther doesn’t really like you, but who cares?
Lets you help him when he has a problem
Shows off about the fact that you two are together
