3rd place animation prize for @jajna!

Mina had a lot of time to think today. She told the rest of the of the group to kill Dracula because it must be done, but not out of hatred. There are a lot of reasons for that last bit. One was the reason she stated:

“I have been thinking all this long, long day of it—that … perhaps … some day … I, too, may need such pity; and that some other like you—and with equal cause for anger—may deny it to me!”

She’s had all day to wonder what’s going to happen to her. She’s been rejected by the holy through no fault of her own, and Van Helsing made it clear that she’s on her way to becoming a vampire. She knows about the changes in Lucy, and how the people who loved her most felt such hatred just by being in her presence. The sweetest girl turned into something that just threw a kidnapped child to the ground when a better prize was in front of her.

The very same could happen to her. She could become something awful and horrible and hurt innocent people.

So naturally, she has to wonder about the Count.

The story’s pretty clear that he was into some dark stuff that probably led to him becoming a vampire. But it does raise the question if he’s still the same person; if any change was made.

I’m not saying she feels sorry for him—but she is trying to be objective about it. She has to, to keep herself sane. So long as there is any doubt at all. Given how the powers of the Almighty are rejecting her for nothing she has done, she probably feels that she’s in no position to condemn.

Another reason is, because of that burn from the wafer, she’s probably feeling her imperfections more. What happened was not her fault, yet she’s still condemned, and she can feel the sting on her forehead. The whole situation points fingers at her. And under that kind of pressure, it’s not unusual for someone to look for the faults in themselves that could’ve caused this to happen.

Again, none of this is her fault, but that’s the kind of mental feelings that could follow.

Does she want Dracula dead? Yes.

Because of what he did to her? Yes.

But also because of what he did to Lucy, and Jonathan, and also Renfield, and how many others.

Does she hate him? Most likely.

And then she feels the sting on her forehead. That throws a wrench into the whole works. Possibly thoughts of self-blame, and a tangle of overwhelming thoughts and emotions … so she has to stay objective.

Finally, and this reason is more minor … being consumed by hatred isn’t healthy. Hatred is part of being human, but if one starts to obsess over it, it can change a person for the worse. When the men came home having so far failed to kill Dracula, it meant they had a job ahead of them, one that would take all their focus and attention. They have to kill Dracula because he’s dangerous; but it won’t be good if it turns into an obsessive quest for vengeance. That would blind everyone to the bigger picture. There lies a slippery slope that could result in “ends justify the means” or becoming completely detached from the people they had been prior. Which would mean they would never heal. There’s still a chance they won’t, but there’s also the chance they will, so long as they don’t become different people from who they are now.

Also, she probably couldn’t bear to see Jonathan become that. She loves him for who he is.

Dracula has to die because he’s dangerous. Not because it’s personal.

Matchlit - Chapter 3

cw: situationship, family drama.

Masterlist

The two of you keep mum.

After all, your kiss is not the climactic scene of a made for television teen romance, or a lusty, drug-addled haze in the back of a car.

To you, it’s something more akin to a hairline crack forming in the wall of a dam, through which there is now a trickle of a new class of affection, with the overall structure remaining sturdy and strong.

You returned to the bonfire that night as though nothing had happened and nothing more does happen, other than a single exchanged glance over the flames. 

Lili recounts the mini (and yet extremely polite) spat June had with Denki just moments earlier to you in a hushed tone. She doesn’t ask you what you talked about with Katsuki, and you don’t tell.

---

The trip ends without further mishap, although by now the entire group appears to have noticed the tension between Shinsou, Shoto and June.

You and Lili press her for information in the back of the van going home, out of earshot of the two mentioned men, which healthily distracts you from the fact that you want to kiss Katsuki again. Badly. It was all you could think about as you gathered all your things on the way out of the cabin with everyone else, distractedly piling on items into Izuku’s already overburdened arms just like the rest of the group as though he were a pack mule.

You thought desperately about the warm feeling of his lips on yours and the bitter aftertaste of beer and the texture of his tongue until - 

“You did WHAT?!” Lili shrieks and June nearly strangles her trying to muffle her voice. Mina whips around from her seat ahead with obvious interest and June and Lili both give her a wide smile to cover up the fact that they have the type of gossip that will spread through the former UA class like wildfire. 

Mina pouts at not being included, turns and goes tapping away at her phone, presumably to complain to Ochaco, Tsuyu and Hagakure in their group chat. June breathes a sigh of relief but when she turns Lii is giving her an intensely disapproving look.

“Wait, what happened?” you try to catch up.

“Stop thinking about dick and listen,” Lili frowns and you pout at her. Ironically, you are the only one not talking about dick in this situation as June reveals that she may or may not have slept with the #3 rookie pro Hero currently sleeping at the front of the van. 

Your jaw drops.

“In the same house as Shinsou?” you whisper.

Blood drains from June’s face as she grimaces.

“Listen, I didn’t intend to.”

“I didn’t even know you liked him!” Lili hisses. “What about your on-off thing with Toshi? I thought you were on again.”

June lets out a sigh, her shoulders slumping.

“Can we text about this instead?” she whispers back finally. 

The rest of the bus ride is spent quietly, with occasional hushed sounds and shocked looks in the backseat. Shinsou doesn’t look in their direction once the entire way home.

---

Bakugou, an incredibly eligible bachelor of age 28, finds himself standing in the living room of his family home just days after he kisses you for the first time, and staring directly in the face of possibly the most beautiful woman he has ever met.

And it matters not for a second.

He should have known when his mother asked him to wear something nice and get a haircut, and he already regrets complying, once it finally occurs to him that this isn’t just a strange woman in his family home, about his age and smiling at him in a manner that is polite but not warm. 

He resists the urge to ask her who the fuck she is, or the other people in his room that bear enough resemblance to her that it is clear that she is their prized daughter.

“Sit down,” Mitsuki hisses under her breath, nudging him in the ribs. He wants to turn and leave. His father sighs and pulls out a chair for his mother so that they can face the waiting couple with their annoyingly beautiful daughter in the center.

The older woman eyes him carefully then smirks. She’s dressed lavishly to the point of being slightly gaudy, unlike her daughter whose stare is fixed. Again, polite but not kind. Staring, as though she is assessing the situation. Her not-glare reminds him vaguely of himself and it makes his stomach turn.

“Mitsuki-neechan, why does it seem like your son has been ambushed?” she laughs. The blood drains from her face but she laughs back in turn, reaching behind her to attempt to yank him in the seat beside her. To save face, Katsuki sits, because he is older now and more mature, but he is angry enough to spit bile.

“He’s just not used to so many people, are you honey?” she turns to him. Katsuki doesn’t look at her because if he does he’ll say something and it will be foul. 

Masaru attempts to change the subject.

“We’re so happy you were able to come in despite the unforgiving weather these past few days.”

His counterpart nods, also uncomfortable by the exchange between the middle aged women, and hangs desperately to the change in tone. “It’s a lovely day today on the other hand.” 

“Your home is quite lovely,” he adds, looking around quickly, finding something to compliment. 

“Who the hell are you all?” Katsuki finally says in a gruff voice that is more curious than annoyed, and Masaru swallows a groan. 

The young woman doesn’t laugh, look upset or scoff, still even kilter. It unsettles him and he looks away from her to her mother who legitimately clutches the row of pearls on her neck.

“How uncouth,” she tuts, then looks at her daughter. “Why don’t you introduce yourself to Dynamight?” she asks.

The daughter gives her the hint of a glare and it is gone as fast as it’s there, to the point that Bakugou is not even convinced he saw it. But he did.

She smiles wider, and it is even colder. Political even. Her eyes are a royal shade of purple and piercing, in sharp contrast to your gentle ones, and she adjusts her hair a little too gracefully, dark silk placed behind her ear before she addresses him. 

Her voice is soft and controlled and she speaks in perfect diction. Katsuki wonders if she’s ever raised her voice in her life, whether in anger or in joy.

“My name is Kasumi. Pleased to meet you Mr. Dynamight . Or should I say, Katsuki-” Katsuki grimaces at the informality, “- since we’re apparently in the process of discussing marriage?”

---

The second the family leaves - Kasumi’s mother Hiriko giving far too many air kisses to Mitsuki for her to keep up - Katsuki can feel his fingers starting to spark.

And he doesn’t hold back.

“You must be out of your fucking mind, woman,” he hisses. Masaru’s head is in his hands and Mitsuki looks just as furious, standing to her feet.

“You’re nearing 30 and you have not a single reasonable marriage prospect because of your shitty attitude and you’re getting mad at me for securing you a near- princess ?!” 

“Who the FUCK asked for a princess?!” he yells back, fists clenched. Mitsuki grits her teeth.

“I don’t have to ask you to do what’s right for you!”

Masaru makes a sound in hope to de-escalate but both have terminated the conversation, parting ways immediately with a march in opposite directions. Bakugou slams the door as he leaves.

As he drives home, mind still racing, he tries to recount the last few hours. The reality as he recounts it is horrifying. 

He’s engaged, supposedly, to a woman he’s never met. To the daughter of a childhood friend of his mother that he’s never heard about and who he can clearly tell she hates yet wants so desperately to impress. 

He can’t think of anything that could be worse in this particular instance. 

Not to mention the fact that he’s just kissed you, and still needs to sort out what that meant to him. He can only run from these feelings for so long.

And perhaps he is running right into a brick wall. 

---

You awake on a day just like any other, indulging yourself with eggs on toast for breakfast before making your way out of the house.

Your schedule isn’t too busy this week - no missions and no patrol, so you can focus on your true passion, photography. Cameras in tow, you head out to the city to work on more snapshots for your portfolio.

Too many of your subjects end up recognizing you despite not being in costume, and you make polite small talk while thinking of a better disguise. You’d never really hated the celebrity status being a Pro Hero afforded you, but it did make things inconvenient at moments like this. By the time evening comes, you’re satisfied with the shots you have taken and sit in the park, texting to your groupchat as June defends herself for the tenth time this week.

You have to break it off properly with him!

We weren’t even dating!

He thinks you were!

A thought bubble arises then disappears. You consider de-escalating but then June starts an abrupt video call. 

“I’m not responsible for his feelings!” is the first thing that comes out of her mouth. 

Lili looks irritated but keeps her lips tightly pressed.

“She’s right,” you speak up. 

Somehow through the screen you can tell Lili has now shifted her attention to you and is mad at the betrayal. 

“Okay but I need him to stop calling me like I can fix this,” she complains. “Leave me out of it, whatever it takes.”

“You’re not even in it,” June says, and suddenly she gasps. “Shit, there’s a robbery, be right back.”

Lili sighs, then in a dejected voice bids her good luck.

“Break a leg or something. I mean don’t actually break the robber’s leg but don’t get hurt.”

You wave as Lili drops off the line as well.

You’re thankful you don’t have relationship drama, not knowing that yours may be brewing sooner than you think.

Fandom: My hero academia

Character: Bakugou Katsuki

angst to fluff

Am I Not Good Enough?

(M/n) was in his dorm, the lights off, the curtains closed keeping the shine of the sun away, and him under a pile of blankets. Him and Bakugou have been in a relationship since their second year of middle school. They have been through a lot together. But some things changed a bit once they made it into UA. Bakugou started hanging out with Kirishima, and the rest of the Bakusquad more. Whenever (M/n) would ask him if he wanted to hang out or go on a date or just have a cuddle session in one of their dorms, Bakugou would always shut him down by saying he was going to hang out with Kirishima or the Bakusquad. He always said he would make up for it but at the end of the day, he never did. Today was another one of those days where (M/n) goes to his room and looks at the ceiling, lost in his thoughts, letting them consume him. ‘Maybe he is losing feelings for me..?’ (M/n) thought as tears started to prick the sides of his eyes. ‘No. don't think like that (M/n).. he loves you.. Right..?’ (M/n) let out the tears that were dangerously close to falling out. He started sobbing and now that he did, he couldn't stop. He let all the tears and emotions he was bottling up out. On the other hand, with Bakugou. He was hanging out at the arcade with Kirishima and the others. They were playing random arcade games when Mina and Sero got hungry so they decided to go to the fast food place next to the arcade then go back once everyone ate. While they were ordering food Kaminari was talking about the time he got his head stuck in a pot and (M/n) helped him out. On the topic of the (h/c) haired boy, Mina asked Bakugou a question. “Hey Bakubae, how is (M/n)? I haven't seen you guys hang out much.” Bakugou looked at her with an irritated look. “Hah?! How am I supposed to know how he is?” “Um.. well you are his boyfriend. Don't you spend time with him?” Sero asked with a questioning tone while drinking the Sprite he got. “Of course I spend time with him tape arms!” Bakugou yelled at Sero, throwing his spoon at him. “Oh really? Then why have you been blowing him off for us? You may not see it but we, or I, sure do. He always asks you to hang out and you blow him off like he’s nothing. Just wait Bakugou, he's going to stop trying to spend time with you and you're going to wonder why but the reason is your own actions.” Jiro said while glaring at Bakugou. “Pf yea ok headphones. (M/n) can't go a day without being with me. That will never happen.” Bakugou said, looking her dead in the eyes. “Just wait. We all know (M/n). When he doesn't feel good enough, he shuts off. And he cuts people off. Because he doesn't want to bother them. So fix the problem before it gets to that point.” Jiro said, getting mad and squeezing her cup. Bakugou looked down, knowing that what she said about (M/n) shutting off is true. But he doesn't think that that will happen. ‘I haven't been avoiding him. Right?’ he thought to himself. After that they went back to the arcade but Bakugou couldn't focus on any of the games now. Kaminari won against him in three games and he didn't even care. He was to focus thinking about (M/n). They got prizes with the points they got playing the games. Denki got a cute pikachu keychain. Kirishima got a choker with spikes on it. Mina got some cotton candy because she was still hungry. Sero got some cool headphones. Jiro got new eyeliner because they had that for some reason. Bakugou decided to get a plush for (M/n). The sun starts to set while they head back to the dorms. They walked into the common room to see the Dekusquad watching a movie. “Hey guys! What are you watching ?” Kirishima greeted. “Oh, we're watching (f/m). We asked (M/n) if he wanted to hang out but he didn't answer.” Uraraka answered,. Jiro gave a side look to Bakugou. He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. Bakugou was deciding whether to go to (M/n)'s room right now or talk to him in the morning. He decided morning was the better option. So he went up to his room to get ready for bed.

i fuckin hate word limits. like why cant i just write long ass storiesm short stories tick me off but whatever. anyway im really proud of this so i will be making it into more parts and lucky me they are already done so thats one less thing i gotta fuss over. anyway hope yall like it!

here’s the second place prize for Mina May, thank you so much @aimportantdragoncollector! This animation is for her fic ‘The Devils Double’, which you should check out if you like the OfA AfO sibling dynamic. She makes wonderfully twisted fics!

bnha class 1-a randomly generated quirkswap au blurbs

(also in this au mineta is replaced by shinso)

Yuga Aoyama - Acid

He sparkles and shines, too bad he accidentally sprays acid everywhere with his grand gesturing. He just wants to be famous! Why does he have to have such a gross quirk?

Mina Ashido - Navel Laser

Her pink skin, hair, and horns were all very eye-catching, but most eye-catching of all is her ability to shoot a bright powerful laser from her bellybutton. Only for a second though or she gets massive cramps.

Tsuyu Asui- Zero Gravity

She accidentally floats herself a lot, so holds her arms out from her body to prevent this from happening. She loves the water, but swimming through the air is almost as good.

Tenya Iida - Brainwashing

Despite not having his family's prized quirk, he's resolved to prove that he can still become a hero and uphold their legacy. He makes a point to be as honest and straightforward as possible to make up for his more sinister quirk.

Ochako Ururaka - Frog

She comes from a poor mutant family that had to face a lot of discrimination. She's going to use her frog-like powers to become a successful hero that makes lots of money to support them.

Mashirao Ojiro - Explosion

He's a pretty normal teenager, and teenagers sweat a lot. Unfortunately his sweat is explosive nitroglycerin. With a lot of training, he makes it work for him.

Denki Kaminari - Creation

He can make anything if he knows its composition! Unfortunately he's... really bad at memorizing what different things are made of. Mostly he just makes useless junk.

Eijiro Kirishima - Dark Shadow

He's a friendly and manly guy! His sentient quirk, not so much. The shadow version of himself that emerges from his body in the darkness is a terrifying quirk, but if anyone can wrangle it, he can!

Koji Koda - Earphone Jack

He's a quiet gentle guy with a tough rocky exterior. He hears everything though, with his sound-boosting quirk. And he can get Real loud when he wants to be.

Rikido Sato - One For All

He grew up quirkless, and with no great ambition other than to be kind. He gave his food to a skeletal man he met on the beach one day. They became friends, and eventually, the man revealed he was truly All Might, the number one hero. He was chosen as his successor, and now he had a motivation, to do as much good as possible by becoming the next symbol of peace. Through kindness, anything is possible.

Mezo Shoji - Invisibility

He always wears a mask. Not that it covers anything up. He's tall, buff, and completely invisible.

Kyoka Jiro - Anivoice

She's a punk-rock music lover. Unfortunately, animals can understand her, and most of the time they don't agree with her style. If you need an angry swarm of any creature that might be nearby, she's your hero.

Hanta Sero - Half Cold Half Hot

He has one of the world's most powerful quirks by total luck. Too bad he just wants to chill out and have fun.

Fumikage Tokoyami - Hardening

He has an unrelated mutation giving him feathers and a beak. His quirk allows him to turn those features to steel by hardening them to an incredibly sturdy substance.

Shoto Todoroki - Tape

The pro hero Endeavor was trying to create the perfect successor. And sometimes, a kid with a perfect split of white and red hair develops a totally unique quirk through a strange mutation. He can create tape. And shoot it from his elbows.

Toru Hakagure - Dupliarms

She's a totally normal girl! With six arms. That she can grow extra body parts on. She just wishes there was a cute guy out there with a thing for weird arms.

Katsuki Bakugou - Tail

He's determined to be the greatest. He may be pretty normal aside from a powerful prehensile tail, but that thing is a constant lashing force of destruction under the force of his rage.

Izuku Midoriya - Sugar Rush

When he was a kid, eating sugar would make him absolutely bonkers. His mother cut it out of his diet, but turns out his quirk transforms sugar into the motherlode of all rushes, granting him superhuman speed and strength. Only, afterwards, his body totally gives out.

Hitoshi Shinso - Engine

He's got engines in his legs. He's a speedster but never really figured out how to use his quirk for combat, so didn't manage to make it into the hero course. He wants to prove himself though, and worked hard for this transfer.

Momo Yaoyorozu - Electrification

She is a top-level student, her intellect is her pride. Unfortunately, if she uses her quirk too much, that prized intelligence is shocked away to nothing as her IQ drops tremendously until she recovers.

I wrote a long movie Gondor screed earlier this morning, and may or may not actually post it—it's fairly rambling and repetitive. But the (somewhat) shorter version:

Intellectually, I think the films' excision of the scouring of the Shire is worse than my various complaints about movie Gondor in terms of the core of the novel, treatment of war, etc.

But in some ways, I find it more forgivable, not only because Gondor is my personal fave, but because I come away from the films feeling like this narrative loves the Shire.

This doesn't really address the thematic issues it skates over. But I do feel that even without the scouring, the cinematic treatment of the Shire is suffused with affection and care for it. In a similar way, the treatment of Rohan is full of rich detail and filmed in such a way that I get a strong sense of affection for this place and for the Rohirrim broadly, whatever the flaws in their approach.

But I don't feel like the films love Gondor. It's a prize for Aragorn, a (partial) motivation for Boromir, and the location of the big set piece. Tolkien, meanwhile, kind of breathlessly jumps from detail to detail about Gondor and its people and their legacy from Númenor and Minas Tirith and the different regions, and does most of this over just a few chapters while also building up to the battle and everything that happens over it. The narrative is deeply invested in this place—not just Minas Tirith—and lavishes affection on even the most minor characters and details about it.

And I just do not get that from the films' treatment of it, where I very much feel their affection for the Shire and Rohan. And in some ways, it makes the weaknesses with Gondor stand out much more sharply IMO than many of the other weaknesses of the films do.

🎔 + Sally/Carmina ~ @who-is-muses

Send Me 🎔 + A Ship And I'll Tell You || ACCEPTING! (Please only send in blog ships though!)

@who-is-muses

Who wins a prize at a carnival/fair/festival: OKAY HEAR ME OUT, I'm saying Sally, BUT that's not to say they aren't both competing! I imagine it's the complete opposite! Sally and Carmina walking by hand in hand, Carmina makes a sound of excitement seeing the booths and games and she traces to Sally in their shared touch language what she's seeing! Sally is excited for her and encourages her to go ahead! For old times sake! Life is too fleeting to deny yourself the simple pleasure of trying to beat a rigged game from your childhood!

Carmina pays for a couple of tries but after her first, she passes the ball to Sally to have a try. Sally, for obvious reasons is flushed, embarrassed, she's blind Mina, she can't play. But Carmina does her little, birdie laugh and shakes her head, she puts her hands over Sally's on the ball and guides her into position to shoot. Really, Sally would be doing all the work, she's just directing her!

Sally is giggling, partially because of the compromising, tooth rottingly romantic position of it all, and also because she genuinely never thought of it, and it's silly and fun! So unbecoming of a lady like herself, but who gives a damn?! IN the end she shoots, the poor underpaid carnie ducking for cover, and somehow she gets it right in! Winning the prize! The prize wasn't the real victory though, Sally got to play and Carmina got that nostalgic rush of joy with her lover. They pass the stuffed animal they get to a child they think would love it more and go on, having the best sort of day!

Who does most of the cooking: Carmina! But this is because Sally often forgets or forgoes feeding herself for almost full days on end. Carmina is just the only one to remember, plus, in addition to this, Sally is from Newfoundland circa. the 1800s, which is to say the only spice she really uses is SALT. Poor Carmina doesn't deserve such a fate, she'll cook and show Sally the Better Ways. SADJADASD

Who does most of the shopping: Sally honestly! I don't have much justification for it, but I feel like she powers through the chores in a way that leaves Mina in love and awe at the efficiency and her ability to politely, kindly and warmly side-step conversation attempts and people's stares!

Who is hopeless at board games: Depends on the boardgame!! Narrative style boardgames like Clue and more strategic ones like Settlers of Catan or Risk are Carmina's BANE but Sally loves them so so much, of course it doesn't help that she clears house at them! Meanwhile, Sally finds that she really is hopeless at sillier boardgames because she overthinks them a ton, and card games in general because she has NO POKER FACE!

Who is always trying to make the other laugh: Carmina <333, Sally is always so forelorn and morose, no one can blame her but the demons and weight she carries are obvious. It makes those sweet times when she laughs so honestly and giggles worth their weight in gold! Sally loves making Carmina laugh too, those sounds she makes are perfection, but, with Carmina, she loves knowing that she can take Sally away from her troubles to a happier place with just the two of them.

Who has a tendency to give out TMI: NEITHER, I MEAN LOOK AT THESE GIRLS, I think if they did anything more than a nuzzle and a kiss in public that they would faint on the spot like true Victorian Ladies!

Who does more DIY projects: HMMMM, I don't know! Maybe neither? I know Carmina has her art projects and endeavors, but I'd hardly call them DIY, it's just art! And Sally, well, Sally may have been a 'I'll do it all by myself,' once upon a time, but she's old and tired of her own bullshit at this point. She's not gonna DIY unless she knows damn well she's an expert at the thing, otherwise she's hiring in a professional.

Who is the big spoon: CARRRRMINA!!!!! Carmina cuddles around Sally, she is so small and she loves to feel that kind of protecting, grounding presence around her!

Who gives more casual affection: HMMMM, I'd say equal measures but just cause Sally is Kinda Weird about affection and has her limits. Typically Carmina initiates it more but they read each other both in body language and language language a lot and often when touching is to be done, they do it as one!

Who reads to whom: Sally to Carmina! Sally likes to read Carmina her braille books and journals! Sally likes to share in that way, even though with her throat and breathing issues, the task may take her years!

Who brings drinks and food without being asked: Carmina!!! Car brings Sally snacks when she's in the zone and places it down as a loving reminder and will give Sally a loving little nuzzle before she heads off to do her thing again!

How would polar bear sana act when she's in a rut?

I think that she gets ROUGH ROUGH, now she's the one that doesn't let jihyo leave her bed, if jihyo needs smth, sana will carry her and keep her close until she's done and then she's carrying her back to the bed for more

I think that she would be somewhat aggressive to the other members, she won't hurt them ofc, but she doesn't want them anywhere near her mate, she doesn't want other people's scent on her territory, she'll go around the apartment letting out her scent so everything smells like her and Jihyo bcs jihyos scent is sana's addiction (jihyo in general is)

Sana made nayeon and momo leave the apartment with just one very loud and very deep growl because in her rutting mind, they're "threats" to her territory, her mate and her future cubs

And jihyo has more than enough stamina to handle her bear

What do you think?

sana may be too big and she might look scary but her heart is full of warmth! makes sense for her to be extra territorial and possessive when in rut, polar bears are known for being dangerous mothers, they will want to protect their cubs for all it takes and that's why sana keeps a hand over jihyo's tummy at all times during her rut. there might not be a cub in there but her kitten's tummy is sana's most prized place and she's not letting anyone get near jihyo at all

even though sana and jihyo don't intend to actually have babies for the time being, jihyo lets sana pretend because knowing about the possibility of jihyo carrying their babies is already enough to satiate her needs. nayeon and momo definitely have to switch places with jihyo and go spend some time in jihyo's dorm with jeongyeon and mina, because sana is just really scary when she's in rut

after a few days of constant breeding, jihyo will be absolutely sore and she will struggle to walk for some time. when sana calms down from her wave of rut and notices what she had just done to her poor kitten, she will be just like a guilty puppy looking at jihyo all bruised from her handling and give her a lot of love to compensate for that. but jihyo wouldn't have it any other way!

jihyo absolutely loves tending to sana's ruts, being torn apart by her mate is everything she wants, especially when sana takes her on all fours and pounds so hard into her that even if sana doesn't spank her, her butt still aches and becomes red

sana gets extra clingy in her rut too, and if jihyo has to feed herself, take a shower or even if she needs some resting time, she will have to do it with sana hugging her and pressing her hand over her tummy..

hmm mating season is also cockwarming season..

Mina x Male Reader

Part 2 of 3

Read Part 1 here.

She is still there, standing and waiting for a reply for her question. Although concern was written on her face in reaction to your sudden flinching. You pinched yourself too hard of course. Obviously, you don't want her to know that since it will be really weird. You told her you just felt something bit you and assured her you are okay. However, deep inside you are in a state of limbo, you still could not think straight. Do you want to grab the chance to accompany her? Or will you chicken your way out for not having the courage once again? Your mind was calculating possible effects of the actions you're going to take. Will you come with her and risk exposing your feelings for her? Surely this is just some casual invitation. No more no less.

"I guess you have other plans, huh?" Mina said to break the silence.

The voice grounded you.

"I- ah uh", you stammered like you do not know how to talk.

She gave you all her attention.

"I would love to go with you", there you said it.

A wave of relief hits you as you feel the night breeze on your skin. You realized how much this girl in front of you affects your emotions.

"Really? Let's go then!", she smiled as she grabbed your arms and dragged you.

It's gonna be an interesting night.

------------------------------------------------------

The night progressed more smoothly than you expected. You thought people will jeer at you with the sight of Mina and you together. However, people seem happy to mind their own businesses. Occasionally, some guy will dart his eyes on you but that's the most of it. Mina seems to enjoy visiting other booths and trying some of the things they offer. You found yourself drinking the juice she bought because she is curious. She did not like it. You won her a cute teddy bear as a prize of a shooting game you participated. You are happy just seeing her happy. You relaxed your usual defensive approach towards her. You are just gonna go with the flow tonight because it may not happen again. You continue on your way.

Time flew and just like that it was close to 10 PM. She noticed the time as well and suggested you start heading back to your Department's booths. You were gone a long time and both of you laughed at the fact the the sunbaes will be mad. On your way back, you noticed she is feeling cold. She is wearing shorts on a cold night. You took off the university jacket you are wearing and stopped her from walking.

"Why are you wearing shorts? It's cold", as you wrapped the jacket around her waist.

"I know right! Silly me!", she answered shyly.

"I hope it fights the cold a bit", you added.

"It does! Thank you (yn)!", she answered with a huge grin.

"Let's get going then", you tried your best not to sound elated.

You got back to your booths and noticed they are talking among themselves. It seems like they are closing the stands. You are late to realize that all eyes were on you two arriving together. You tried to play cool. You are internally panicking. What if they tease you? Will it create a weird feeling between you an Mina?

"We were texting you both since earlier and none of you replied. We are starting to get worried", Jihyo said annoyed and worried at the same time.

Right! You realized you did not ever bother checking your phone all the time you were with Mina. You looked at her as she rummaged her bag for her phone. She did not check it as well.

"Joesonghamnida sunbaenim! We were busy visiting other booths that we forgot to check our phones", you said as you bowed your head.

Mina noticed you and bowed her head as well.

"It's okay. You're both her now. Are the other booths fun?", Jihyo asked.

Mina told Jihyo on what booths you visited while you retreated at the back. Thinking your time together ended, you could not help but feel sad. It was short but surely you will treasure it. You are proud for doing something. You are proud you did not blow it up.

Not long after, the seniors decided it's time to clean up for the night. The festival is two days so you'll gonna be back tomorrow. Cleaning was completed quickly as each of you want to go home and rest. You helped with the disposal of the trash. There were two bags, you picked up one and as you pick up try to pick up the other, Mina grabbed it.

"Let me help", she said.

Half of you wants to protest while the other half wants her to help you because you will be together to throw the trash.

"Are you sure?", the courageous side won.

She picked it up and off you went to the trash can.

"Thanks for accompanying me tonight by the way", she said.

It was one of the best sentences you ever heard in your life.

"Sure, I had fun myself too. Thanks!", a sense of pride is evident.

She smiled as both of you accomplished your task and head back. You are on the moon. You were the happiest man at that moment. That simple thanks from her is enough to make you feel like it's the best treat a man can ever have. The word happy is a huge understatement. But just as you went flying to the moon, you were dragged back down to Earth. You saw Seehon.

"Annyeonghaseyo", he greeted.

"Hi Mina! Can I talk to you?", he continued.

The vibe was different. Of course it's Sehoon you thought. Some girls of your department with their sparkling eyes urged Mina to go and talk. You turn your attention to something else not wanting to follow what was happening. You are faced with the reality once again. You are nothing compared to Sehoon. All you knew next was Mina went with Sehoon to who knows where. You're night was done. You hold on up until the last goodbyes were exchanges between you and the other Architecture students. Right after, you just let a huge sigh. With your head down and a heavy heart, you went home that night defeated.

------------------------------------------------------

The next day.

------------------------------------------------------

Much was realized after last night. That's what happens if you let your guard down. You were too busy being happy that you forgot that reality most of the time goes against you. So today you decided to just take a step back and continue to watch her from afar again. That is the best thing to do. You mind wonders to these kinds of thought as you make your way to your booth. Absentmindedly, you bumped into Nayeon. Fortunately, the impact was not that hard.

"Yah! Watch where you're going", said Nayeon.

"I'm sorry sunbae!", you apologized immediately.

Nayeon realizing it was you smiled. You know immediately it's not good.

"Sorry is not gonna cut it you know!", she said playfully.

"I apologize again sunbae", trying your way out.

"I said sorry is not gonna cut it. If you really want to apologize, you have to come with me visit the other booths", she knew she won.

"But -", you tried to reason out.

"No buts", she placed a finger on you lips.

Alright you know many of the guys in campus will kill to take the position that you are in. Im Nayeon is a certified hottie in campus. However, you view her as a senior nothing more, nothing less. But reasoning is a lost cause against her. That's what you get from being absent minded.

The day rolled with you accompanying Nayeon to everywhere she want to go. Halfheartedly you follow her. You watched the idol groups that perform on the festival. You ate, and played. Sometimes, you reminded her that you were supposed to be at the burger stand but she constantly shut you down. She excused you from Jihyo. Fortunately, she got bored after a while and suggested you head back.

"We're back", said Nayeon.

Jihyo looked a bit annoyed so you immediately replaced her on cooking the burgers. Mina is still taking the orders. You did not exchange greetings which is odd but it maybe because she is busy taking orders. The day continues as you cook burgers until evening. Jihyo's boyfriend came again to help and replace you. Mina as well took a rest. You were itching to go and talk to her but you remember what you decided this morning. She is sitting on the table where you take your rests. You took your place at the end of the table keeping your distance. She did not seemed to mind you at first.

Silence follows. Both of you were just on your phones. You could feel your heart on your throat. Is there anything wrong? Your mind was once again racing with thoughts. Your curiosity got the better of you.

"Is there anything wrong? You seem to be quiet.", you asked cautiously.

"No, I am just tired", she replied.

You could sense coldness in her voice. Annoyed maybe?

"I'm sorry for asking. Great job out there!", you tried avert the topic.

She nodded in response. Sensing it's not a good time to be there you thought of leaving the table. However, before you can stand up she stood up and walked towards the entrance. Before putting one feet out she turned.

"You know I just don't understand you!", she said trying to hold back her tears.

What? Those words doesn't make any sense to you. You can't even start to comprehend her words. What have you done to her for her to say those words? Before you can formulate something in response she walked out and was gone. You tried to find her but could not. Tried to call her but she does not answer. You are worried and most of all confused.

"Relax and think, (yn)!", you muttered alone.

You do not want this night to end without answers. Then idea struck. You started running like you never ran before in your life.

~To be continued~

A/N: It seems it going to be a three part story. Thanks for making your way to end of the episode.

Trick or Treat? 🦇🎃🪄

Ahhh, Ari! <3 I'm so sorry this took me a while to answer! I've been a tad busy so it sat in my ask box for a few days. As an apology for the late response, I'm gonna go with a treat so I can share a little tidbit of writing from the chapter of Shards of Ice and Sorrow I've been working on!

🍬 Treat — If the recipient chooses treat, they share something with us as a treat. This could be a snippet, a line, OC trivia, or what have you!

Treat is below the cut c: Please note that this snippet is unedited so there may be mistakes, etc.

It’s become a habit not to go out before sunset, to deprive myself of the sun's warmth against my face out of fear someone may recognize it. Unwanted, yet wanted. Worthless, yet prized. Such contradictions become commonplace when one has a bounty on their head. ‘I hate you, but I need you'. I see her in everything here. I see her face in the frost climbing up the side of the trading company's dingy outer walls, I hear her bitter laugh in the muffled noise that shakes the tavern’s walls as if it were ready to burst from the clamor any moment, I feel her grasp in the icy wind as it bites at my skin, its cold pinch flushing my skin pink at each point of contact. It is because of all these parallels that I cannot help but sigh in relief when the familiar scent of cool pine and bergamot fills my senses. Roderic shuffles around the pile of sacks and barrels I have been using like a cloak to shield myself from prying eyes. He is much bigger than I am, his arms like the thick boughs of the old oak tree in the palace courtyard I played in as a child. He looks uncomfortable, like the wall at the dead end of an alleyway, jammed into too small a space. Roderic shoots me a look that practically screams ‘don’t even’ as I open my mouth to comment, doing my best to fight the urge to smirk.

Man, doing dracula daily as a new reader really ads to the dramatic tension. "Uh, my good friend Jonathan is visiting fucking dracula and i havent heard from him for a couple days..." not that you expect the reveal this early, but damn when we get into the plot for real thats gonna be fun.

I've just met mina but she knows that tiny thought a day journals suck and you must speak long-windedly into the void about your day in a journal. I like her already.

My #1 post of 2022

Does no one else think it's impressive Jonathan's polyglot dictionary happened to have the words "satan" and "werewolf/vampire" readily available AND that he correctly identified those words rather than mishearing and translating them as like "shoe" especially since this town has so many languages? I would like a copy of Eastern European Languages for Goths should i ever have the chance to return to the land of my ancestors.
