okay but imagine yan! tighnari's and reader's fox daughter wanting to be a dancer in Zubayr Theater with Nilou. When their daughter's first performance happened there are some boys trying to court their daughter. Imagine father Tighnari's rage when he saw boys after watching the performance with his obedient housewife 😭 (ps: I just need Tighnari and y/n sweet and random moments plss)
Tumblr media
This is so cute! love yandere family fluff!! So we got an overprotective dad tighnari who supports his daughter dancing but doesn't allow those brats to get close to his daughter😭
TW: yandere, (not mentioned here but actually) kidnapping, overprotective dad tighnari
yandere Tighnari breeding reader that rejects them An old classmate encourages you to continue your studies while taking care of baby foxes reader hinting that they weren't happy with the marriage by telling stories but their children snitched Yandere Tighnari and other babies are jealous of their new sibling
When the baby foxes are reading encyclopedia, patrolling with papa, observing the starry sky and insects, your little fox daughter has shown different talents - the sounds of nature are her favorite melody. She likes to dance in the water and in the forest. Tighnari was worried that his young daughter might be attacked by some wild animals, but it turned out that some wild animals would not attack her, but stopped to watch her dance. After the dance, she always runs into your arms and calls "Mama". You served her pastries and juice and hugged her tiny frame.
One day, your precious daughter came home with a flyer for Zubayr Theater and was bouncing around the living room. She said that she wants to go to Sumeru City and join Zubayr Theater! She wants to be a dancer like sister Nilou in the leaflet!
Tighnari doesn't want the fox babies to go to the city because he knows that the ears of foxes are too sensitive, and the lively sound of the Grand Bazaar is a nuisance to the foxes. Moreover, the urban environment is more complex than the forest. Babies are still too young to face this. Most of all, he hates the idea that you or any kid will leave him. However, Tighnari changed his mind as soon as he saw her teary face, so the two of you accompanied her to the Zubayr Theater.
Nilou covers her mouth in surprise as soon as she meets your baby fox daughter - the furry ears and tail are super cute!! She learns about your daughter's dream of being a dancer and how hard she has worked to make it happen. She smiled and said that she can teach her, and she is looking forward to the little new star of Zubayr Theater!
After months of training, your daughter is performing in public for the first time. On the way, you held Tighnari's hand tightly, telling him your worries and anxieties, and Tighnari reassured you softly that nothing bad would happen. The two of you are acting like every normal couple and parent, and it doesn't even occur to you that going to the city is your chance to escape.
This dance performance is choreographed on the theme of the moon elves. The dancing on the stage seems to be like elves dancing on the mysterious lake. You lean on Tighnari's shoulder with tears in your eyes, looking at the tiny figure and realizing how much she's grown now. And Tighnari smiles proudly, nods occasionally, and talks to you about the show.
After the performance, the two of you thank Mr. Zubayr for giving your daughter the opportunity to perform and train. When you return to the venue, you see several boys surrounding your baby fox girl. "Your performance was so good", "Are you a new dancer at Zubayr Theater?", "Your ears and tail…" . One of them even shyly offered her a flower, hoping she would take it. Tighnari stared at the boys, furious - He didn't realize that his daughter was of an age where she might have suitors! His gaze frightened the children, who flinched but said they would come to play with her tomorrow. You feel the hostility of your husband, smirk and pat him on the back - they are just a bunch of kids! It is normal for little kids to show affection and even crush to other kids.
Tighnari didn't think so. He gave you a glare because you weren't on his side - you probably wouldn't have laughed so hard if you knew you'd be punished after going home. But before that, he had to throw away the flower in the fox daughter's hand.

Why are modern farming games getting rid of festivals?
The latest story of seasons, Pioneers of Olive Town (I'm not including the remakes cause they're remakes. Also Friends of Mineral Town actually has festivals), Stardew Valley and Coral Island have two festivals per season. It's ridiculous. I don't have Winds of Anthos but I hear it only has four total
I liked the festivals. I wanna see more festivals.
I'm using Back to Nature as my baseline cause it was my first. But they fit in about 18 festivals. And about 8 of them were romantic in nature or at least involved some kind of couple activity
Which brings me to my next point. Where are the romantic festivals? Half of the Olive Town festivals have you doing something with your partner so fine but last I checked Stardew Valley just has the dance. And I haven't seen the last festival in Coral Island yet but so far none of them have involved dates.
I'm referring to BtN again but give us the Spring Harmony Festival! I don't care if you call it Valentine's Day I want a day to give out chocolate. The Starry Night festival. Moon viewing.
Is it because festivals that just involve dialouge are considered boring now? There has to be some kind of mini game attached? I don't know I'm just spitballing. I'm loving Coral Island but the festivals don't all need minigames
I loved the goddess festival in BtN. I loved seeing them in their pretty dresses and then going out on a date afterwards. I loved it in the girl version where I actually got to dance with them (also off topic but Gotz giving you his wife's dress was the sweetest scene and I really wish I still had my psp so I could see it again).
Rune Factory 5 has it's problems but it still manages to have a good mix of activity and dialouge festivals with about 22 or so in total
Sorry, I'm all over the place.
Point is, I want more festivals in farming games. And I want more romantic festivals

Why Miraculous LadyBug Is the Worst Thing To Happen To Magical Girl Genre in All Its History.
It would be easy to sit here and tell you all the logical reasons why Ladybug is a bad show. It has horrible pacing, it has low stakes, repetitive episodes, and a dialogue that is cringe worthy enough to get its own tiktok sound.
But saying that, would be beating a dead horse at this point. Everyone knows this show is a bunch of wasted potential, only made worse by a director who keeps thinking he created gold, when in fact he messed up in a lot of areas – particularly the fact that he’s a grown man who thinks he knows what little girls want.
I’m not here for that.
Particularly, because I can be quite forgiving to shows like this. I mean, they’re kids' shows! Meant for little girls, and I haven’t been one for a few years now. But I still enjoy them.
Why? Well, cause I’m a massive fan of Magical Girl animes. I love the glitter, the sparkles, the silly adventures with friends, and the transformation sequences! Even with all its flaws, I really like them. So, stories or shows that borrow from them, get a pass in all these things. 
I mean, I have fun re-watching WINX Club, I love Star Vs The Forces of Evil despite its flaws. Steven Universe holds a deep place in my heart and She-Ra is…She-Ra is in its very own league of how amazing it is.
So, no. Be it a very dumb show or a very smart one, I can have fun. It’s very rare when a show with, you know, glitter, girly stuff and animals CAN’T hold my attention.
But, well, MLB failed at that.
It’s just, not a good show.
I mean, it could be. But the age demographic would need to drop several, several age groups just to be barely watchable – and even then, I seriously doubt that it would be good for young girls to watch it. The lessons it teaches are concerning, to say the least.
And at this point, you may be thinking,
"Why do you care so much about this show? It’s dumb and you’ve acknowledged it treats its demographic as toddlers. Why do you care so much?"
Well, because I've been here... for a very, very long time.
Listen, I started watching Miraculous Ladybug, back when I was in high school. Maybe a bit old, but, hey, a lot of unique cartoons came out around that time. (Star Vs, Steven Universe, etc). So, I was hopeful. Really hopeful.
Mainly, because I was here before it EVEN premiered. I remember it. The original PV was 2D animated and it had this vague Princess Tutu vibes that JUST I couldn’t resist. It was clear as day that it borrowed a lot of its inspiration from magical girls from the 90's, probably even 80's.
The premise looked similar enough to Kaito Jeanne, and Kaito St. Tail for me to draw those conclusions.
It had a dynamic very similar to Princess Tutu and seemed like a mix of silly and dark like that one was.
To be honest, I could even see hints of Sugar Sugar Rune with Pierre and Felix.
Not to mention, the animation was beautiful.
I will never, never forget that scene with Chat looking at Ladybug starry-eyed under the Paris Moonlight. That was so beautiful, a genuine touch of romance that rang so similar to the Magical Girl animes I grew up with.
I was thrilled, I was excited. I wanted this show to succeed, before even the premier had dropped.
Tumblr media
This is all to say -
I never came to this show with the intention for it to fail.
And I didn’t expect nor want it to be ground-breaking or a giant of the genre. I just hoped I could have a fun time.
I didn't want subversions, I didn't want it to be dark, or deep. All I wanted, was sparkles, fun and a good time.
So, when it first aired, I tried to stay positive. I tried to like it, even when it had all these massive red flags.
I’ve never been a big fan of 3D animation, and especially not how it’s used in Magical Girl animes. (We all know the disaster the first season of Sailor Moon Crystal was).
But I swallowed it down.
The characters were different from the original PV
But I swallowed it down.
The background scenery was bland and generic and hardly felt unique.
But I swallowed it down.
I was here since day 1. I was here when Stormy Weather premiered. I was here before many of you were, and
I swallowed it all down.
Because I really, really wanted this to be good.
And I really thought it would.
But things should have been made clear, when they fucked up the one thing they shouldn't. The one thing that held this all together. The one thing that kept me here even as everything was burning to the ground, and I was too naive to realize it.
They fucked up the thing that started all this, to begin with.

Hello! I don’t know if you are okay with writing for this character but can I request Kagaya Ubuyashiki x Wife Reader? Where it describes times she stay by his side and when they set the trap for Muzan, she refused to leave his side. No matter what, she refused to leave his side. Thank you!
TO THE LAST MOMENT | Kagaya Ubuyashiki x Wife!Reader
Tumblr media
Kagaya Ubuyashiki x Wife!Reader
"Kagaya and his wife made a promise, and she was willing to go through with it."
WARNING. manga spoilers, Amane Ubuyashiki not exist here. FEMALE READER
Tumblr media
Being a leader was a difficult mission. Kagaya knew this from his first thought.
And being born into the Ubuyashiki family was an even harder burden to bear. Bearing in mind that you would never make it past the age of thirty while living a mediocre life thanks to a curse, could be difficult to deal with.
It was at the age of four when Kagaya became leader of the demon slayer corps after the death of his father, at that time he was already able to understand that his destiny was already set.
At thirteen he met (Name), a shy girl whose voice was extremely rare to hear. Kagaya found out that she had lost her family to demons when she was seven years old, and has since been cared for by priests.
And despite being a shy and kind girl, deep down (Name) she strongly hated demons.
— "Won't you marry me?" — (Name) approached.
— "Hmm?" — Kagaya turned his face towards her, though confused, he kept his gentle smile.
She looked a little embarrassed and quickly looked down. — "I... I asked why you didn't want to marry me..." — Her voice sounded upset as her fingers fiddled with the hem of her own kimono.
Kagaya realized that this was a misunderstanding and tried to clarify things, not wanting the girl to be sad. — "What? No no…" — he continued. — "I just made it clear that I only wanted you to marry me of your own volition, and not because it was your obligation." — He smiled.
(Name)'s face lifted, still with a slightly uncertain expression, but that was soon softened when she noticed the gentle smile she received from the boy in front of her.
— "So... if I said I wanted to marry you willingly, would you?"
— "It is clear." — He nodded.
— "So…" — She flashed a small, shy smile. — "I would love to marry you."
For a short period of seconds after hearing those words, Kagaya felt a little surprised, bearing in mind that she knew about his family's condition and still wanted to marry him willingly.
It made his chest heat up.
— "So let's get married." — Kagaya felt happy.
(...)
Almost six months after they first met was when the marriage ceremony took place, despite the fact that Kagaya was still thirteen years old and (Name) was only a very few months older than him.
During the night after the ceremony they were alone again, with (Name) and Kagaya in the same room with her husband watching the starry sky with the huge full moon high above.
— "What are you doing?" — (Name) murmured carefully as he approached the mat.
Kagaya's face slowly turned around before responding with a peaceful expression and kind smile. — "I'm just looking at beautiful things that I know I'll miss the moment I completely lose my sight."
Now he was looking at her...
(Name) sighed, lowering his head. — "Right... the curse..." — She looked a little depressed, Kagaya realized that, and felt a little hesitant to ask.
— "You… don't really regret it?"
She lifted her face, looking straight into the lavender eyes of the boy in front of her. — "No... I don't regret it."
Kagaya felt relieved, and held her hand in silence, gazing at her face with full awareness that soon she would only see it in his own imagination as his body weakened.
— "I will never regret it, I will stay by your side until the last moment." — She smiled.
It was a pure smile. Then the couple shared a soft kiss.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
In recent years (Name) has been surprised by everything that is now happening. A slayer with hanafuda earrings appeared with a sister he swore was a good demon.
A demon that didn't eat humans...? Was that possible?
After the meeting where the boy came face to face with the Hashiras, Kagaya came to the conclusion that the demon girl could live. All putting their faith in those brothers and that could mean a good change for the slayers.
After all, Tanjiro Kamado has already come face to face with the Demon King as well.
(Name) decided to trust her husband's decision, believing that it was the best option to follow.
And he was right, fate seemed to work in the slayer' favor, with a price of course, the loss of many.
Until the final moment had arrived. The upper moons were being defeated and Kagaya knew the Demon King was approaching.
— "What did you say...?" — (Name) looked in disbelief, watching her husband in deplorable condition on the futon.
The curse was eating away at his body more and more.
— "Go away…" — Kagaya coughed. — "Take Hinaki and Nichika with you…" — she coughed again.
(Name) came over and put a cloth over her husband's mouth so he could cough, blood staining the white cloth on the woman's hands, but she didn't care.
— "I... I won't leave you alone here." — She replied firmly.
— "You don't understand..." — With difficulty and with support from (Name), Kagaya sat down on the futon. — "That man will be here soon..."
— "And I know what you plan. I won't leave you here alone."
Kagaya felt surprised and was speechless for a moment. — "...(Name)... please... I don't want you to participate in this..."
— "I'm not going away." — (Name) took her husband's hands. — "I promised you, I'll never leave. I won't leave you here alone."
Until the last moment, after all.
The demon king has arrived.

It Happened Off-Camera
Rowaelin Month 2023, day 10: Guest Stars with Chemistry
a continuation of the dating show au prompt i wrote a while ago ;)
Word count: 2.4k
Warnings: language, innuendo, flirty Fenrys, naughty jokes, and i have no idea how a reality show works so i just made up stuff about that lol
Enjoy!!!
@rowaelinscourt
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Views spiked almost 200% after last week, Aelin! The producer's comment echoed in Aelin's mind. We can't wait to see what the numbers look like when this week's episode airs.
She grimaced and turned away from her bathroom mirror. Although her villa was a camera-free zone, she wouldn't put it past the production team to find some loophole in that rule and sneak footage of her alone in her private space. Last week's episode had been an incredible success, though, what with her stupidly romantic date with Fenrys and the satisfaction of watching sniveling little Sam get booted from the suitor list.
Speaking of Fenrys...he was the first man she'd put down on the second-date list. He was just as charming and suave as the rest of the men on the show, but his infectious laugh and penchant for cracking inappropriate jokes at highly inappropriate times were right up Aelin's alley, so to speak. But she was famously close-lipped about her suitor list, both for her own sanity and for the drama.
So it was no surprise when the entire production crew gasped collectively when she and Fenrys went on a second date.
He rented a little rowboat and took her out onto the property's gorgeous lake, bringing her to the opposite shore, where he'd set up a picnic, complete with blankets, charcuterie, and wine. The camera crew followed them at a discreet enough distance, allowing Fen to lean over and whisper into her ear as he helped her out of the boat.
"Let's hope the subtitles don't pick this conversation up," he murmured, "because I don't need thousands of people hearing me tell The Bachelorette that I'm fighting a boner."
She snorted and playfully smacked his shoulder. "I wouldn't be worried about that if I were you, Fen. It's not like it's visible or anything."
He gasped in theatrical shock. "Aelin!"
"Fenrys," she cooed, the portrait of innocence. "You promised me food?" She raised her voice to camera-ready levels.
"Indeed I did." He gestured broadly to the picnic. "And even dessert, if you play your cards right." He wiggled his perfectly groomed eyebrows, playing it up for the cameras.
She laughed. "Slow down, Moonbeam. I'm one of those three-dates-before-going-home girls, you know."
"I was so hopeful!" He faked a dramatic groan. "Does this mean you'll grant me a third date, milady?"
"Maybe." She sipped at her wine, unaffected by the way he laid his head in her lap and stared imploringly up at her. "You're cute, Fen, but puppy eyes don't work on me." She leant down and whispered her next words too softly for the crew to hear. "Only bedroom eyes do."
Faster than she expected him to react, he raised his body and propped his arms on either side of her, pressing himself almost indecently close. "Thought you wanted three dates before that, Ae," he purred, playfulness and lust mingled in his dark eyes.
"Indeed," she murmured. And she pushed him gently back to his place. "No need to rush yourself, Moon Moon."
~
After the picnic, Fenrys rowed them back across the lake, stopping in the middle so she could gaze up at the blanket of starry darkness that laid across the property where filming took place. "Up there," he whispered, loud enough to be heard. "You can hardly see any constellations in the city, but they're so gorgeous out here."
"I was half expecting you to drop the not as gorgeous as me line," Aelin teased.
He snickered. "I can call myself gorgeous if you want, but I'd rather hear it from you." He paused, a roguish grin curling across his lips. "Moaned, ideally."
She coughed out a laugh and doubled over, almost toppling out of the boat. Swiftly, he lunged to catch her, righting both her and the boat. He cracked a quiet joke about not rocking the boat just yet and rowed them back to the shore, back towards the house where the rest of the candidates were waiting.
At least one of them was probably stewing at the fact that Fenrys had pulled a second date.
Just before they reached the pier, the boat bumped against something below the water's surface and rocked sharply.
"Shit!" Fenrys yelped, digging the oars into the water to counterbalance the sudden tilt, his muscles straining as the boat jostled and rocked again. "Hold on, Ae, I--fuck!" He spoke too late.
With a splash and a high-pitched "Shit!," Aelin went flying over the side of the boat, drawing in a sharp breath just before she plunged fully into the icy lake water. It might have been early summer, but the lake was far from pleasantly warm. She held her breath and extended her arms and legs, pushing at the water as she tried to work back to the surface.
But the godsdamned ridiculous, overly formal dress she'd been put in clung to her in all the wrong ways, constricting her range of motion, and those stupid heels were caught in what felt like a tangle of roots and wouldn't budge. Hell.
Aelin tried to keep her pounding heart under control as she bent back downwards and reached for her shoes, fumbling with the stupidly fucking tiny straps and buckles until she'd managed to free her feet from the damn things. Her lungs ached and burned with the effort of keeping her breath held. Push, Galathynius!
Partially freed, she pushed towards the surface, swearing violently to herself as she struggled against the godsdamned dress. Air rushed from her lips in a stream of silvery bubbles, and she clamped her lips back together, willing herself not to let go of any more precious breath even as she struggled to float.
Then a pair of strong, muscled arms wrapped around her waist, and she was pulled to the surface in a stroke of powerful, purely masculine strength.
She gasped and spluttered, chest heaving as she caught her breath. Her hair was plastered all over her face and her makeup ran in smeared trails, destroyed by the icy lake. Teeth chattering, she noticed the cameras zooming in on her waterlogged form and rapidly crossed her arms over her chest.
Her lack of a bra meant her nipples were rigid behind the dress, and the assholes editing the footage would never let that go unnoticed.
"Are you alright?" The man who still had his arms around her deposited her on the pier and grabbed the floating dock for stability, peering anxiously into her face. It wasn't Fenrys, as she'd thought.
It was Rowan Whitethorn.
And now her heart was pounding for multiple reasons.
"I-I'm f-f-fine," she managed to get out through chattering teeth and shivers.
"Hey!" Rowan hoisted himself out of the lake in a smooth, sleek lift that made Aelin immediately think of Anthony Bridgerton, and directed his next yell at the handful of men and crew members standing around watching Aelin shiver. "Get Miss Galathynius some damn towels! Have you never seen someone almost drown before?"
She smiled to herself. Maybe the man was more of a gentleman than she'd given him credit for initially. "I'm f-fine," she repeated, but the tremors shaking her body belied her words.
He crouched back down next to her, grumbled something about useless idiots, and laid two fingers against her pulse. "We need to get you inside," he murmured. "Can I pick you up?"
"Yes." Normally, she would refuse, but this wasn't normal.
Rowan scooped her into his arms, letting her nestle against his warm, if wet, chest, and strode towards her villa, leaving a trail of slack-jawed suitors, eager camera crew, and one flabbergasted Fenrys in his wake. "I wish they'd all fuck off," he mumbled into her sodden hair. "Yeah, yeah, it's a drama, but really?"
"Can't let the knight in sopping armor go unnoticed," Aelin quipped, her humor unharmed.
He chuckled. The deep rasp of it went right between her thighs. "If I wasn't on the damn show myself, I'd be the person punching the cameraman right about now."
"No need for that," she returned. "Just...just get me home." Exhaustion had overtaken her more than anything else.
"I will." She clung to the solid surety of those words and closed her eyes for the rest of the short walk to her villa. When he reached the steps, Rowan paused, suddenly unsure how to proceed. "Uh..."
"I don't think I can walk," Aelin admitted. "So, if you'll bring me inside, that would be lovely." She met his concerned pine gaze. "It's okay, Rowan. Plus, my villa is strictly no-cameras."
"Okay." So he walked up the stairs, pushed open her front door, brought her inside, and nudged the door closed behind them. Holding her stable with one arm, he locked the front door and then carried her into the kitchen. Gingerly, he set her down, but kept one arm around her waist for stability. "Where do you need to go?"
"Bathroom." She found her balance, wobbling only a bit, and led him down the hall to the master bedroom and its attached bathroom. She made it all the way into the modern, marble-and-glass space before her stomach roiled and she lurched away from him. "Gods," she groaned as she bent over the toilet. "Why now? Why tonight?"
Unexpectedly gentle, Rowan's hands swept her wet hair away from her face and rubbed her back in soothing strokes. "It's alright, Aelin. Just let it all out."
She retched a couple more times before her stomach settled down and her body started insisting that she get out of her uncomfortably wet clothes and into a nice warm bath. "Rowan?"
"Yeah?"
"I...I need a bath."
His tan cheeks flushed an adorable shade of bright red. "Do you need me to leave?"
She blew out a sigh. "I'd say yes, but--oh hell," she cursed as her legs gave out beneath her. "Well, it seems I'm still unstable."
"Okay." He glanced around the bathroom for a minute, unsure, and then went and turned on the bathwater, filling up the sunken marble tub with steaming heat.
"Unzip me, please," she requested, feeling her face burn crimson with the awkwardness of the request. To her relief, he didn't comment, just fumbled with the wet satin before finding the tiny zipper and carefully pulling it down the length of her back. She peeled the sodden material off her body and dropped it on the floor, not caring that she wasn't wearing any underwear, and walked down the steps into the deliciously hot bath.
Behind her, Rowan drew in a sharp breath. "Aelin." If she was in any other reality, she'd swear that there was predatory violence underlying his tone.
"What?" Safely submerged in the water up to her shoulders, she turned to look at him.
Poorly-concealed wrath tightened his handsome face. "Who did that to you?"
So he'd seen the scars slashing across her back. "Car accident. Happened when I was a child," she said, simply, boiling the truth down to its most sanitized version. And because he still looked like murder, she added, "The drunk driver who hit the car I was in died on impact."
He relaxed. A smidge. "I'm sorry."
"It's alright." She leaned back into the bath, a small, soft moan escaping her as the hot water eased the tension in her muscles and warmed her chilled body back up. A thought dropped into her mind, and she cracked her eyes open. "You can use the shower if you need, Rowan."
He was still fixed where he stood, and she could have sworn that she saw dark desire flicker in those forest-colored eyes of his. "What if I want a bath?" he asked, and fire licked down her spine at the sound of his voice, low and rough and thrumming with leashed need.
And with that question, Aelin got the unmistakable sense that she'd found her bachelor.
"Then the steps are right there," she breathed, holding his intense gaze, feeling her body electrify the longer he stared at her. The longer he dragged out the charged silence, though, the more she began to question. "Unless I've read the room wrong, in which case I'm an idiot, and--oh gods, I fucked up, and--"
"Aelin." Clothes hit the marble floor with a wet thud and Rowan's chiseled body cut through the steaming water until he stood right in front of her, reached out, and caught her chin with his fingertips, tipping her head up to his. "You didn't read anything wrong."
Her breath hitched at his closeness, at the heat between them that had nothing to do with the bath. "Rowan," she whispered, hardly daring to believe the scene was real, "kiss me."
"What about the three date rule?" Gods burn her, he had a sense of humor, too?
"You found the loophole," she grinned. "Rescue the damsel in distress, and that counts as three dates."
"Lucky me." And Rowan kissed her.
~
Aelin blinked awake to bright sunlight, rumpled sheets, and Rowan Whitethorn snoring behind her.
She couldn't control the grin that blossomed across her face as she laid there, snug and warm in the cocoon of his arms, and listened to the adorable, snuffling snore emanating from the most controlled man on the show. Unable to help it, she rolled over and looked into his slumbering face, reaching out to trail her fingertips lightly over the tattoo that spiraled down his arm.
"I can feel you staring," he mumbled, eyes still closed.
"Can you blame me?" She dipped her head, brushed a featherlight kiss over his lips. "You're adorable when you snore."
He grumbled something incoherent. "I don't control that."
"And it ruffles your feathers, I know," she teased. "I think it's--oh!" Her teasing was cut off with another kiss.
After they separated, breaths ragged, Rowan twined a lock of her hair around his fingers, uncertainty flashing across his face. "Ae?"
"Hmm?" She held his gaze. "You can talk to me, Ro," she murmured, reassuring him the same way he'd comforted her last night.
He exhaled heavily. "Last night...it...what's going to happen?"
"Well, I'm going to start dating you," she replied. "I'll probably keep one or two other guys around because the contract says I have to, but as of now, you are the only man in my life." She traced the angle of his cheekbones. "Why?"
"Because--" The normally unflappable, granite-faced businessman fumbled for words. "Will you promise to keep a secret, Ae?"
"Of course." She laced her free hand into his and squeezed. "I promise."
He worried his lower lip, took a steadying breath, and dropped the biggest bombshell of the whole show on her.
"I have a daughter."

ship- Scott Bartlett x fem!reader
summary- You're sitting in your room with Scott after you ended up in a fight with some guy. After, smoking some of your secret stash you guys start 'talking'. He tells you about what happened with him and Adrianna and how awkward it was. A few blatant hints come from Scott, so you offer to teach him.
content warnings- cursing / mentions of sex / drugs(weed) /mentions of violence / mentions of blood /
word count- 761 (Would Y'all like a part 2. since this is short?)
(Use of she/her pronouns and use of y/n)
Tumblr media
Your head was throbbing, the cold rag only doing so much. The bleeding had pretty much stopped but the gash above your ear still hurt like a bitch. You laid sprawled out on your bed waiting and wanting the pain to subside. After some ill faced comments about Scott, you had lost it and started hitting the guy like usual. You just couldn't let the guy get away with it. You took it upon yourself to defend Scott.
You could feel Scott's eyes burning into you. "If you keep staring at me, I swear to god, Scotty," you said, bringing an arm to lay across your eyes. The lights were blinding and seemed to be making your head hurt more.
"You shouldn't have done that. I could've handled it..." Both of you knew that wasn't true. He began walking over to you slowly, as if you were asleep and he didn't want to scare you. Truthfully, you knew exactly where he was because of the small creeks from the floor. You also could swear you could feel the guilt and sadness radiating off of his body. "You know I hate when you do this cause you end up hurt."
Yeah, you knew. Did you care though was the real question. (No.) This was just you. You already had an ever-growing reputation around the town, but you didn't mind. To you it was fun. Let's just say you had a problem with authority but only in the way if they tried to silence and control you. Of course, there is more that has gone on to give you such a bad reputation but that's a story for another time.
"Pain is a part of life. Plus, he's a douche and he shouldn't be able to talk about people like that without consequences." You sat up, ignoring the pain that shot through your whole body. You looked up at him, guilt still covered his face. "Wanna get high?"
Tumblr media
"I just don't understand what you see in her. She seems, I don't know, bitchy," you said. You both leaned against the headboard of your bed, smoking some blunts from your stash. The current topic was Adrianna. It wasn't like you knew personally but just from observing her from afar she just didn't seem like a girl you wanted to know. "But y'all would be cute."
Your tolerance was rather high so the blunt wasn't affecting you too much. Scott on the other hand was a different story. It wasn't like he was gone or anything, but he was just more confident and open. Not scared to speak his mind. "Did I tell you we did 'it'."
Your head whipped around to look at him, your eyes widening slightly. "Y'all had sex?! Holy shit Scotty," you exclaimed, nudging him with your shoulder.
"Only issue, it was awkward. Like more awkward than I can even," he tried to find the word, "describe. It wasn't very good honestly."
"What do you mean," you asked, taking another drag. You felt sort of bad. Sex wasn't supposed to suck or be awkward. Maybe some awkwardness after words but only if the guy was bad.
He sighed and blew some smoke out his mouth. "It was just bad. I didn't know what I was really doing. I know like the basics of it but- I don't know. I wish I had more experience, so I knew what I was doing." he turned to look at you. You couldn't even recognize the look in his eyes. Was he wanting you to show him?
“Are you?-“ You were quickly cut off.
“Yes,” he said eagerly. "But only if you want to. Sorry, this is weird. I’m sorry I should never have asked.”
“Hey,” you grabbed his face, forcing him to turn to you. The confidence from the weed was starting to wear off of him. “I will if you want. But the only thing is no invisible strings. It would have to be completely loveless, and it is to never be used against each other. Got it?” He nodded, still staring deep into your soul. “No strings?”
He thought for a moment, debating if he should pinch himself to see if this was real or not. “No strings.” He smiled at you before leaning in, placing his lips gently on yours. There was no love in the kiss. You had said no love so he would listen to you. (He had seen you how handle people not listening to you.) This would all be counterfeit. The mocking image of love. Nothing real.
Tumblr media
a/n- Hellooooooo! Okay, firstly, would you like a part two to this? I felt really bad for leaving this in my requests, so I wanted to get something out for you. Please tell me if you want a part two because I will happily write it. Scott is so adorable and underrated and there is a minuscule amount of stuff for him. I also might come a work on fixing it cause there's parts I hate.
For this being my second one-shot ever I wanted to try writing it differently to see what I like to do!
Please leave requests of what you would like to see next!
Bye! Love you all! <3

Hiii! I was wondering if I could request hcs for nagi × reader in winter!! pls and thank you🫶
Tumblr media Tumblr media
WINTER WONDERLAND.
Tumblr media
Even in the colder months, he’s your ever shining star.
ft. Rokuya Nagi x gn! reader.
cw/genre: cute and sweet fluff.
thank you dear nonnie for requesting ! I’m sorry this took so long, I’m hoping you still like it <3
Tumblr media
— Needless to say at this point, Nagi is well accustomed to cold weather. Winters are long and frigid in his home country, after all.
— So, in the last months of the year, your boyfriend is really in his element.
— Nagi is someone who’s always ready to go out and visit fun places. Even if the season where the nights become longer and the sun rays are not enough to warm you up would prompt you to stay cooped up under a blanket at home, you can’t just say no to him.
— And so, the colder days illuminate in a thousand memories by your lover’s side, forever wanting to keep them in the softest part of your heart.
— Nagi loves doing any wintry activity with you! From going to cafes and having hot chocolate or coffee, to visiting markets, christmas lights and decorations making the atmosphere vivid and warm despite the cold, to simply walking around the city’s streets watching how the snowflakes dance in the neon lit wind before coating the ground.
— And of course, Nagi eyes the shop windows displaying the new Cocona Magical Winter Outfit! figurine.
— You’ll have to get him one soon, you think, as you watch with a soft expression his northern sky eyes sparkle as he gets impossibly closer to the glass, the lights from the shop reflected in his stare, your favorite aurora.
— And, of course, with the new figurine, comes a new movie from his favorite magical girl anime. Nagi wants nothing more than to have you in his arms as you two enjoy the film.
— Soft blankets, the peaceful atmosphere of his room at the dorms (his friends knew you were visiting, so they gave you some privacy) and matching mugs of sweet hot chocolate (his, of course, Cocona themed).
— Honestly, in this moment, neither of you could ask for anything else.
— Speaking of which, as much as Nagi is always up for going out, if you’re more of a homebody when winter comes around, he’s more than okay with indoor activities too.
— Firstly, he’ll show you all of his anime figurines and merch. Even if the heater wasn’t on, the passion with which he speaks and his wide smile would be enough to keep you warm.
— A pastime he really enjoys when you decide to stay in is baking cookies.
— Due to his upbringing, Nagi didn’t really have the chance to learn how to cook. So, if you’re the one to teach him how to make cookies, he’ll be over the moon!
— And even if you don’t know how to make them, that’s fine too, you learn together.
— Their shape might not be perfect, but the work you put into them makes them taste delicious.
— Not to mention, you made them with your favorite person in the entire world <3
— Another way Nagi would love to spend time with you in winter (back to the outdoors this time) is by having snowball fights.
— Again, because of his royal roots and lack of friends during his childhood and early teen years, it’s likely he didn’t get to experience that kind of joy.
— Seeing him getting so into it, yelling “flying Cocona snowball!” and running towards you as his laughter fills the clouded sky is too precious.
— Nagi’s very romantic and charming (sometimes bordering on cheesy /affectionate), so don’t be surprised when on starry nights, he whispers to you about how the moon and stars reflected over snowy plains can’t hold a candle to you.
— It’s cute, how serious he is when he tells you that, you think, with a chuckle.
— He deserves a kiss (or a few), no?
— With snow drifting from the night above like glittering stardust, and the moon as only witness, it would certainly make for a picture perfect moment ;)

Tumblr media
Romance on the Farm-as yall know I have a love hate. I LOVE them so much. But that ending SUCKED. The romance was sprinkled so don't expect so much. It was a family drama with lots of redemption that wasn't deserved. I watched for these two.

Tumblr media
Hidden Love-controversial drama but I SWEAR you watch episode 1 and then skip like 4 episodes and its smooth sailing. It's not creepy but they have a girl playing her younger self that looks way too young and she's not THAT much younger so it made it seem weird. This was a VERY well done drama.

Tumblr media
My Decoy Bride-I mean. They were pretty. Another mini.
Tumblr media
The Snow Moon-another mini. It's tragic. And I actually enjoyed for the most part and thought because it's mini that it would end differently. NOPE.
Tumblr media
The inextricable Destiny- they do everything in THEIR POWER to make you hate this drama. There were so many points where they could've done better and didnt. I hate that. Don't waste your time.
Fireworks of my Heart-Unpop opinion but he makes incredibly boring dramas. Female lead has NO backbone. And he promises he wont go back but does.

'Down Bad' Synastry Aspects - Part 2
Sun - Pluto:
Most likely, in the beginning pluto had seen the sun before the sun has seen them, and instantly fell in love with their essence. If the relationship goes through ebbs and flows (and it certainly will); when it goes south, pluto will feel like they've been thrown to the darkest pits of hell again. Pluto will realize all their self-sabotage tendencies, their demons and will want to unlive certain parts about themselves to re-birth the connection again. The sun will feel unseen, and not belonging to anyone or anywhere, anymore. The sun will feel lost, out of orientation and will want to shatter their own pride for their beloved pluto. The ending of a cycle between them usually is nothing but an intiation to another cycle with more passion and more growth. This is one of the 'dark' synastry aspects that has the potential to be long-term and turn positive because of its growth-oriented nature.
'You made me acknowledge the devil in me I hope to God I'm talking metaphorically Hope that I'm talking alegorically Know that I'm talking about the way I feel'
Edwyn Collins - Girl Like you
Moon - Neptune:
Phew! This is the epitome of 'you are my drug'. The moon offers Neptune the kind of transcending 'let me lose myself in you' kind of experience, while Neptune makes the moon feel like they are under the influence without the drugs. Each can appear to the other as ideal, or straight out of a dream, type of person. Until reality comes, and both wake up from the dream...wounded. The hurt comes from ignoring reality, or sources of disagreement in the beginning or 'shoving it under the rug'. The moon person is most likely to be down bad, since neptune can and will disconnect into their dream world to numb the pain. Neptune will feel like they lost their soulmate, but they will beat themselves up over it, rather than taking an action to mend things practically. The moon will feel defeated, colorless, and anxious they will never reach this high again.
'I only met you in my dreams before When I was young and alone in the world You were there when I needed someone To call my girl And now you're my reality And I wanna feel you close But you're defeated, baby Broken, hurtin', sufferin' from a shattered soul'
The weeknd - Starry Eyes
Part 3 is coming!

No Sugar and Spice
Pairing: Wednesday Addams x Enid Sinclair
Tags: fluff, established relationship, kissing, scratching, biting, soft Wednesday Addams
Word count: 1.1k
Ao3
A/N: The hand biting scene was mildly inspired by that Legosi and Louis scene from Beastars.
Amazing how easy things are with Enid. Sure they had a very rocky start, but then again this was Wednesday, she had a rocky start with everyone. What made Enid different was just how perfectly the two seemed to fit together despite all odds and everything about them being so vastly different. Yet those differences were what made them work, and what sometimes drew them crazy about each other.
Wednesday liked crazy. She liked that feeling of being driven mad by the pastel werewolf, the way her heart beat so fast it hurt whenever their eyes met in class, the way she could make Wednesday’s brain stop working with just a kiss.
Speaking of kisses, she liked those too. A lot.
It was also the only time when she could tolerate being surrounded by so much color. Enid’s side of the room, and her bed, looked like a tornado of rainbows stormed through. The only good thing about it was that Enid’s side of the room also had, well Enid. And Enid made everything better. Even while she was looking down and Wednesday and smothering her with sweet kisses all over her face.
“Is this necessary?” Wednesday asked when she could finally use her mouth again. “It’s just a scarf Enid.” The goth looked at the colorful scarf still packed on top the small box next to the bed.
Enid squeaked in delight, brought Wednesday into another quick kiss and nuzzled her cheek against Wednesday’s, “It’s a gift from you! Of course it’s a big deal! I’ll wear it everywhere I promise!” The werewolf was so dramatic, yet Wednesday felt no need to roll her eyes as she usually did.
“It’s good that you like it. I had to spend the entirety of our winter holidays in the company of my mother because she wanted to make sure it was a “proper courting gift”, her words not mine.” Last term the mere idea of romance would have made Wednesday want to stab someone.
“Courting gift. How romantic of you.” It made Enid absolutely elated to hear. She was always a romantic at heart. She pressed harder on Wednesday’s shoulders, which was usually seen as a challenge for Wednesday, a competition, but not when Enid was involved, not when she looked at her with her pupils wide, eyes sparkling and just a hint of fangs in her starry smile.
Wednesday’s eyes flickered to the fangs, she always found them interesting, wondered how sharp they really were. It seemed that her curiosity was taken the wrong way by Enid as the bubbly girl kissed her once more. This was not what Wednesday was curious about but she can hardly complain. Kisses like this felt safe, made her feel warm, made her head spin.
Nimble hands wrapped around Enid’s back and pulled her closer, at which Enid let out a small whimper, followed by a growl. Turns out that Enid was also quite touch starved, but where Wednesday tended to shy away from touched, Enid craved them, Wednesday’s touch specifically.
“I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this.” Enid whispered against Wednesday’s lips, then moved them to Wednesday’s jaw. Under normal circumstances Wednesday would never let anyone get with striking distance of her neck with their fangs. Yet she found more and more things to which Enid was the exception of.
As Wednesday started to relax, to let go and let Enid cuddle her all night long she felt a sharp sting of pain on her shoulders. She inhaled through her teeth, Enid jerking away like she was shocked by a lightning bolt.
“Fuck! I’m sorry. The full moon is close and I… I’m a little on edge from it. It happens a lot lately.” Enid looked away in embarrassment, her claws retracting. “It’s been weird.”
“When have I not liked weird? If you had your hands on my face we might have matching scars.” Enid shivered and gasped when Wednesday traced her face scars. She opened her mouth to kiss Wednesday’s hand, it was meant to be romantic. It was romantic, but there were those fangs again. Wednesday’s curiosity got the better of her.
Her hand griped the sides of Enid’s mouth, leaning forward, grazing Enid’s fangs, “Eh?! Wha-”
“Bite.” Wednesday commended. Enid’s eyes widened at the words. There’s no way she actually heard Wednesday say that. “I’d like to know how sharp they are. I’m giving you permission. Go ahead, bite me.” She pushed her hand closer, eliciting a whimper from Enid.
To bite Wednesday would mean… no everyone already knew they were dating, there was no need for pack mentality, everyone knew not to make any moves in Wednesday. That knowledge however didn’t stop certain people from looking their way in jealousy. With those feelings in mind, telling her that she wasn’t good enough, that there were more interesting people, more worthy partners that Wednesday could be with, Enid found herself nicking Wednesday’s hand.
It was just one poke with her fangs, but as tough as Wednesday was she was still human, she bleed, and she pulled away.
“Oh my god!” Enid panicked when she saw the little bite mark on Wednesday’s hand and the intense look at which the goth was looking at it, “I’m so sorry, I don’t know why I-” She was silenced with a firm, swift kiss.
“Enid,” Wednesday let out a long breath, “I have never been more infatuated with you than I am in this very moment.” When the werewolf didn’t respond Wednesday continued, “This will do for now. But I expect a more permanent mark in the future.”
Future? Wednesday was already thinking about their future together. As… mates? This turned out to be a little to much romance, weird romance, but still romance, for Enid’s sappy brain to handle. “Okay.” She managed to say before she collapsed next to Wednesday, her face almost the same shade as her favorite sweater.
“You’ll have to learn to handle blood better if you’re going to be an Addams some day.” Wednesday brushed her bitten hand across Enid’s cheek, “Thing! Bring your… oh. You’re here already.” Wednesday look at her friend, “Not a word of this to my parents. They’d start planning a wedding and I really do not want them to intimidate Enid and further then they already have when I informed them I was in a relationship.”
Thing gave her a thumbs up and scurried away to find something that would bring Enid back to her senses. In the mean time Wednesday would admire how cute her girlfriend looks when she’s sleeping curled up against her leg.

If you’re still doing them, could i see a snippet of Untitled Gay Bar Fic please?
[WIP Ask Game]
(Great news! I went insane.)
The bed is just too small to fit the three of them, but it works if they lie horizontally. Nancy’s up near the headboard, knees tucked to her chest, giggling as Eddie piles the pillows along her backside. “It’s okay Nancy,” he says, shoring up the wall between them. “It’s okay! I will preserve your virtue.” She’s drunker than she realized because she blurts, “Steve can tell you my virtue’s been missing for some time.” Steve falls off the bed. “Nance—” Eddie slams a pillow over his face. “Am I the only person in this room whose virtue is still in tact?” “Um.” “Yes.” “Fuck.” Nancy swings up to her feet, sympathetically smoothing her hand over Eddie’s forehead in the same, automatic, vaguely patronizing way she does for Mike. She crosses to the bathroom, and in her periphery she sees Steve clamber up and octopus his limbs around Eddie’s legs and torso. The faucet screeches as she turns it on, the water too cold as she throws it over her face, the soap waxy and itching against her skin. Over the rush of water she hears Steve and Eddie, whispering–
“—it’s a lot.” “I want it. All of it. The full Harrington Special. Lay it on me.” “You sure?” “Give me the full court press.” “Love it when you talk sports to me.” “You like that? Lucas taught it to me. I don’t know what it means.” “Please don’t talk about the kids when I am actively seducing you.” “This is seduction? Your skills have been oversold.” “Oh?” Steve’s voice dips to the lower part of his register. “Guess I need to try harder,” and Nancy pushes the door shut with the ball of her foot. She cleans up, pats herself dry. The motel towels are stiff, scratchy. When she emerges Eddie’s flatbacked and starry eyed, looking at Steve like he hung the moon in the sky. Nancy settles back behind the pillow barrier Eddie built for her. Waits for Steve to meet her eye. Smirks. “Gave him the full court press?” The corner of his mouth raises and a opens a chasm  in her guts. She used to know him. They used to know each other. Steve smiles at her, so genuine. His hairgel is losing some of its hold. His hair flops into his eyes. “It’s got a pretty high success rate,” he says. “Check my stats.” Oh God, she loves him. She loves Steve, and she loves Eddie, and she loves Robin three doors down in the room they were meant to share but Vickie surprised her and she loves Vickie, she loves her friends, she loves Jonathan wherever he is, she misses him she wants to kiss him she wants to kiss a girl she doesn’t realize she’s crying until Steve touches her face, until Eddie hooks his chin over Steve’s hip. “I’m happy,” she says nonsensically. Steve’s hand is rough on her jaw, Eddie’s hand soft on the bend of her elbow. “I’m so happy.”

Part 1
Pairing: Joel Miller x reader
Word Count: 1202
The discolored snow began to melt away, transforming into water and seeping into the Earth below, as the blossoms of spring sprouts from the dead. It was the calling of a new chapter for Jackson. Another day of surviving and wondering if the end will come shortly. The community thrived throughout the harsh winter nights till the chirping of birds awoke the land before dawn.
The hunters arrived at the gates with fresh game. A few rabbits, caught by the snares placed before the beginning of winter, still donning their winter coats, and a large deer. The rabbits would be used for a stew and the deer would be turned into jerky. You began to prep the deer before stuffing it into the freezer, where it would be kept for a minimum of 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks), killing off any potential parasite and their eggs. You made a note to steam them before placing them into your dehydrator. It was a necessary precaution.
You placed several empty barrels around your place, in attempts to capture as much rainwater as possible, for yourself and the greenhouses. Tommy, despite your persistence, decided he owed you a favor. Maria had to get it through his thick head that he owed you nothing. You were just supplying the community, Joel and Ellie, some items for their journey. It was nothing fantastical or revolutionary. You were just trying to be a good person.
Maria offered you a trade: a bag of almonds for a bag of fruit chips. You accepted the trade and thanked her. You pondered over what to do with the almonds before coming up with a decision. Almond milk and almond flour would do. You soaked the almonds in cool water and placed them in the fridge before continuing with your day.
As the sun began to set, the dimming colors faded as the darkness approached. The moon resurfacing as the sun dwindles away. The myriad of stars, shining brightly in the distance, encapsulate the night sky. The time before the outbreak diminished the beauty of the world outside of Earth. Smearing away the perfection nature had gifted so generously.
You laid down, piercing into the staggering brilliance of the starry night sky, on the top of your bus as you appreciated the little life had to offer. Unfortunately, you’ve only begun to cherish such beauty since after the outbreak had occurred. It was a regret that’ll haunt you for the rest of your life.
“Enjoying the view?” Tommy walked up towards your home. It was no surprise to anyone from Jackson that you usually stargazed on top of your bus.
“It’s breathtaking.” It was more colorful than you could ever imagine. Not as much as you would like because of the constant use of lights from Jackson but enough for you to see most of the radiance. “What are you doing here?”
Tommy never visits you at night or alone. He’s always accompanied by his wife. He laughs, “Maria finished the bag of fruit chips you traded with her. She sent me out to get another.”
He laughs, “Maria wanted more fruit chips. She finished the bag you’ve gave her and sent me to get some more. I brought a bag of strawberries. They’re fresh.” Strawberry jam or syrup sounds delicious.
“Deal.” She climbed down onto the second floor of the bus and searched for the bag of fruit chips. Once she found one, she rushed down to give it to Tommy. “Here you go. Hope Maria likes it.”
Tommy gave a grateful look, “Thank you.” Handing her the strawberries, he offered her a good night.
~~~
You didn’t think they would come back to Jackson. Joel and Ellie surprised you the next morning as you tended to your garden. You saw a glimpse of the girl walking around town with Joel strolling behind her. They were exploring, getting to know their new home, if they decided to stay permanently.
“[Reader], right?” You snapped out of your thoughts and looked at Ellie. She was standing around your garden, eyeing the plants you’ve decided to grow on your own. The sun was blaring in your face as you looked up at her.
“Good to see you again.” You sent her a smile.
“You do know there are greenhouses here.” It was more of a statement rather than a question. It sparked a genuine laugh from you.
“I’m used to doing things on my own.” You stated, “Almost reminds me of the days before the outbreak.” You loved to garden whenever the time arose. It was your coping mechanism and the food tasted divine coming straight from your garden rather than the store. Farmers markets were also expensive, so you’d rather spend your energy growing fruits, herbs and vegetables in the backyard you once owned.
“Where did you get the beef jerky?” Ellie fidgeted slightly, “I asked Maria... she just sent me to you.”
“I make them.”
“Really?”
You nodded before preparing yourself to stand up, “I was thinking of making almond milk. Would you like a cup?” It had been 24 hours since you’ve left the almonds soaking in the water. It was time to take them out.
“Almond milk?”
“Come on kid,” You gestured for her to go inside, “I’ll teach ya.” Ellie watched you clean your hands before walking towards the fridge. “You must soak them in cool water overnight and drain them afterwards. There are only two ingredients: almonds and water. Really simple.” She watched closely as you placed the almonds into the blender with several cups of water. You let the mixture blend for a minute or two before grabbing a nut milk bag. “This will make sure no pulp will get through with the milk.”
“What do you do with the pulp?” She watched you squeeze the milk out.
“You can turn it into almond flour.” Once you were done, you poured a glass of milk for her and yourself. “Enjoy.” You both took a sip out of your cups simultaneously.
“This is delicious.” Ellie exclaimed as she most likely never had milk made from almonds. “And it’s so easy to make. Never would have thought.”
“Not many people thought to make their own milk. It was too much work and most bought it in-store if they had extra money to spend.” You explained. Almond milk cost a lot and homemade milk had to be consumed fast. It didn’t last very long in the fridge.
“What else do you know how to make?” Ellie questioned. She thought of you as a reservoir of knowledge. Seeing as you’ve made milk out of water and almonds. It tasted amazing and didn’t need a cow.
“I know how to make a lot of things: jam, flour, beef jerky, dehydrated fruit chips. There’s a lot of people can make in the apocalypse. If they have the space, the environment, the know-how., and the equipment.”
“Wow.” Her eyes lit up in amazement, “Can you show me how? Or can I bring you the ingredients and we can work together?”
“I’d like that.”
“I can’t wait to tell Joel about what you showed me.” She uttered, “It’ll blow his fucking mind.”

¹ Just for the night
summary: looking for a safe place to spend the night, joel and ellie come across a girl singing a david bowie song at the top of her lungs while picking carrots.
a/n:  sorry if there are any mistakes, english it's not my first language. part 2??or not??maybe?? feel like it could have been better 😪
Tumblr media
Fatigue ran through every bone in their bodies, making it increasingly difficult to stand upright. Joel seemed to hide it better than Ellie, who every two minutes stopped in her place and said to him that she could not longer feel her legs.
"Just a couple more steps, I promise" he replied, knowing that they still had a long way to go. A few hours earlier they had encountered some hunters. Fortunately for them, they didn't seem to have noticed their presences.
"Well, that doesn't sound so convincing you know" she complained, throwing her head back with a grunt, gaining a sigh from him- You are being way to skeptical Joel, we are gonna be fine- she said looking at him this time, waiting for a "You're so right Ellie, how didn't I listened to you before, let's get some sleep" to fly of his mouth. Not a very Joel thing to say, but something among those words.
"You can ever be to sure" he shortly responded. Ellie opted to say no more, dragging her feet reluctantly behind him, following the road and occasionally glancing at the woods to her right. The moon being the only source of light in the cold starry night. Clearly they were not going to stop until he believed it was a safe place to settle.
The silence did not last long. From the woods they began to hear shouting, which at first scared them. It was someone singing. Joel told Ellie to stay close to him, slowly moving deeper into the woods. They were a little curious as to who was singing at this time of night like crazy. Maybe it was someone deranged who had completely lost their mind. They didn't know, but they did know that they would have to take care of it if they wanted to sleep peacefully and not with one eye open in case this person ended up finding them in the middle of the night.
The surprise they got when they found the person in charge, a girl picking carrots from an orchard, was a rare surprise. They shared an incredulous look, their eyes unable to believe what they were seeing. The girl went on about her business without noticing the two pairs of expectant eyes, singing with an immeasurable passion and stopping to complain about a carrot that didn't want to come out.
"She seems harmeless Joel, look at her" she told him pointing at her with her finger.
"Looks like she has a screw loose to me. Come on".
"That's such an old man thing to say".
Ignoring what he had said earlier, Ellie raised her arms and shouted "Hey you, girl with the weird beanie! Do you think you could give us a hand for tonight?". Flinching at the suddent voice, Amanda raised her head cursing at herself for being so careless. She slowly stand up with two carrots in each of her hands, shaking her head. "No!" she yelled with nervousness, making Ellie frown.
"Come on men, we are tired! Do you have any idea of how much we have been walk- "
"Okay, that's enough" grabbing her by her arm, Joel yanked her to the woods, having to stop due to the girl resisting "She doesn't want to help us Ellie, she doesn't have too either".
"Kinda has to now" she contradicted him "She was the one singing loudly that brought us here, besides look at that big ass house she got there! You're gonna tell me she ain't got space for us two?" she said the last thing more directed to Amanda "It's pretty late we just want to sleep, we ain't bad guys".
Amanda couldn't help but feel slightly guilty. The man wasn't wrong, she didn't have to help them, but because of her not keeping her stupid mouth shout she end up putting herself in this situation, so now she had to deal with it. What if she didn't help them and they end up dying? She couldn't do that. But what if they weren't good people? What if they killed her? Hell, she didn't fucking know them! And she really wanted to sleep with a clear conscience.
Frustration started to build up, and before Joel could even say something, she yelled "Fine! But if you two try something I... I" she failed to threaten, feeling dumb for trying to sound intimidating with a pointing carrot at their direction "Just don't try anything, I'm trying to do something nice, so don't make me regreat it" dropping the carrots to the floor, Amanda started walking to the door fence "Over here".
Ellie looked at Joel with a triumphant smile. Without much effort she had managed to persuade the yet girl of unknown name, getting them a roof over their heads for tonight . Following the girl’s instructions, they went through the fence, now facing each other.
"Hi, I'm Amanda" she presented herself, feeling uncomfortable with their eyes buried in her.
"I'm Ellie"  the redhead continued, expecting the man besider her to tell his, but he seem hesitant, causing her to roll her eyes "And he's Joel. Not a very talkative guy".
"Great, Ellie, Joel, would you like to come inside and have dinner? I was about to make it but I forgot the carrots and um you know this happend" she explained while moving her hands.
Ellie laughed, adding to the conversation "Yeah we know, what was it that you were singing?" at the question, Amanda couldn't help but feel quite embarrassed, they just had to be there at that precise moment? She was going to answer her, but Joel beat her to it.
"Space Oddity by David Bowie".
"Exactly".
"And that was?"
"Are you for real? He was a fucking icon! The best of the best! At least that's what my dad used to tell me all the time" as they spoke, they began to walk, heading to Amanda's house, the older one following them from behind. Joel's eyes darted everywhere, fearing that someone would jump out and attack them, although Amanda seemed nice, or maybe she was good at pretending "He didn't follow what at the time society expected from people, he challenged everything and cared little about what others may say. Everything he touched, he turned it into art. My dad got to see him performance, and he told me that his mere presence on stage was simply indescribable" Ellie listened attentively to every word that came out of her mouth, finding what she said interesting and wanting to learn more. She decided to not make questions about her dad. She imagined what she could say to her if she were to ask.
"That must have been fucking awesome! I wish I had the opportunity to hear artists performance in live" Ellie exclaimed content, turning to her left "Ever went to a concert Joel?".
"That was more of a Tommy thing to do" said sincerely, waiting for Amanda to open the door "Is there more people with you?"
"I've been on my own for a while now".
"Oh" that's all Ellie said to her, feeling stupid afterwards. Amanda gave her a small grin.
Before they entered, Amanda asked them kindly if they could take off their shoes "I got a serious problem with keeping things clean, sorry" she apologized, moving to a side to turn the lights, surprising the other two.
"You have electricity? How is that possible?" Amanda smiled at Joel’s questions.
"A little further back from home there’s plenty of wind towers. It's a pretty unpopulated place because of that, it has always been" she replied, crossing her arms behind her back, swinging back and forth.
"And how do you keep it working?" asked Ellie this time.
"I got not idea, it just does. My dad was the one in charge of that. Never explained it further because he said I didn't need to understand. In some point it's gonna stop working, I guess" she said, getting lost in thought, which didn’t go unnoticed by Joel "Anyways, I have to finish cooking dinner, meanwhile you guys could take a shower" seeming to have realized the double connotation of her sentence, she quickly said "Not because I think you guys smell, it's just because, I mean.. there's hot water!"
Ellie failed to contain her laugh, letting some chuckles escape, while Joel couldn't hide his smile.
"We know we smell, believe me. I'm gonna shower first. I haven't showered with hot water in like, forever!" following Amanda's directions and accepting a borrowed towel and clothes, Ellie went into the bathroom, leaving her and Joel on their own.
"I do not want to overstep, but" Amanda interrumped him before he could even finish.
"He died a few months ago, I think it's been five months by now, but I'm not really sure" she knew she was relying way too much on these two, but she decided to trust her senses, that until now, with her few years of life, had never failed her" Joel felt sorry for her, and Amanda hated it "I got so lost talking about David Bowie that I totally forgot to grab the carrots, would you mind boiling the water? I already put the water in the pot. The lighter is on top of the microwave".
"Alright".
"Great, we are eating some smashed potatoes and carrots tonight ".
After doing what he was told to, Joel took the time to appreciate every detail that adorned the house.All of the furniture was made of wood, mostly with antique lamps above them. Large pinturesque paintings hung on some walls, every one of them belonging to a same style. They shared the same signature "Fiona Wesley". There were also dried flowers upside down on some of the tiles in the kitchen, but what caught his total attention were the pictures on the fridge. He couldn't help but let thoughts of Sarah flood on his mind.
---
"God, it's been so long since I've had a proper meal" commented Ellie, happy with Amanda's cooking "You are so good. You don't know what it's like to have to eat Joel's cooking, he burns everything!" Joel gave her a dirty look, feeling offended.
"Thank you very much, it's not a such a big deal honestly".
"She's right, it's pretty good".
"Well... thanks" not used to receiving compliments, Amanda did what she does best, change the subject. "So...if you don't mind me asking, where were you heading to?."
Ellie looked at Joel to see if it was okay to be honest with her. He nodded.
"We are looking for Joel's brother, Tommy. We think he's in Wyoming."
"Shit, that's a long way from here, more if it's by foot. You're going to need plenty of food and coats, I should give you some."
"You helped us enough, it's not necessary" Joel denied, feeling that he was abusing her kindness.
"Don't worry Joel, it doesn't bother me. It would actually make me feel better if you took something for the trip. It's hard to get food with the weather like this, you rarely spot animals to hunt. It would be nice if you carried a couple of rations. Take it as what you guys owe me for letting you spend the night here"- she told him smiling, hoping he wouldn't deny her offer. "So, don't you want me to make up your beds? For what you guys have told me, you got a long way from here to Wyoming".
"Alright, but then let us raise the table in the meantime" Joel offered in vain, since Amanda wouldn't let them do anything.
"I will do it later, not big deal. Come with me guys, I'll show you your room" Joel and Ellie shared a glance, and then followed in the footsteps of the black haired girl.
---
"It was released on 11 of july in of 1969, five days before Apollo 11 set off to compleat his mission and land the first man on the moon, isn't that cool?".
"That's actually so fucking cool. Where did you learn that from?".
Once they got to the guest room, Amanda and Ellie couldn't seem to stop bringing up topics. They got along well, being able to talk easily with each other. Joel was already lying down, finding it harder and harder to keep his eyes open. He listened carefully to what the girls were saying. He didn't want to interrupt them, no matter how sleepy he was. Both Ellie and Amanda needed it. Especially the last one, who looked like she hadn't spoken to someone in a long time. Tomorrow they would be going their separate ways, so he thought that he should at least let them enjoy each other's presence while they could.
"I read a book called 'Artists you should know before you die'. I found it in the shelf over Joel's head, it's the one over there" she pointed, moving closer to Ellie, making her nervous "It has some interesting facts, this one was there".
"Do you know who Sally Ride is?" Ellie couldn't resist but asker her, wanting to talk about her. Sally ride was one of her biggest idols, and the idea that maybe Amanda and her shared the same admiration towards her, was exciting for her.
"Hello? How could I not? She was the first American female austronaut to go into space!".
"Finally somebody that knows what I'm talking ab-" snoring echoed off the four walls of the room, loud snoring. The girls laughed, turning to look.
"Well, it looks like we talked too much and bored Joel" whispered Amanda, slowly getting up. It felt good to have someone her own age to talk to. Ellie felt the same way, disappointed that she had to leave by the morning. She wished she could stay for a few more days with her and get to know her even better, but she had to make it to the fireflies if she didn't want all the losses to be in vain.
"Yes, we bored him quite a bit" she answered quietly, looking at his sleeping figure "He has been sleeping less than he should, he refuses to let his guard down."
"I understand" looking up from her feet, the black haired girl said with a sigh "You should rest too".
"Yeah I probably should".
"Goodnight Ellie."
"Goodnight."

Hey wanna read a short AlmondTruffle fanfic I wrote last year? I ended it abruptly cause I couldn't think of anything else
Charmed
It was the beginning of a warm starry evening. The light of the moon was sprinkled across the streets contrasted by the warm glow within a bar. The filled with the low hum of chitter chatter. If you could pinch your ear you could almost hear delightful laughter coming from the corner booth.
"Okay I have another one." Cinnamon cookie said as he flipped his deck of cards around, sandwiching them together. Truffle was delighted by the little magic show put on display for her. The night was still young and she wasn't there to get drunk. But she did enjoy pun humor which Cinammon was overflowing with.
"So two atoms are talking and one of the says-"
"Ahem."
They both looked up to see Almond adorned with a friendly smile.
"Sorry to disturb your conversation I was just wondering if I could steal Truffles from you for a moment."
Cinnamon looked to Truffles and replied. "Oh, we weren't actually talking, she was just letting me practice my act on her because she was bored.You two can go ahead"
She waved goodnight as she followed Almond to his seat at the farther corner of the bar. She wondered "why would Amond need to talk to her ? It's probably serious." She thought. Her thoughts where interrupted by the sound of his voice as they sat down.
"I didn't know you liked card tricks?"
"Oh well, I can't deny myself a little whimsy every now and again. Why do you ask? "
"Just couldn't help but hear you laughing for a while I got a little jealous.You must think he's charming."
"I find everyone charming." She replied she swirling her drink in her glass.
"Are you in need of my help for a case detective?"
"Hmm? Oh no. I'm off duty.I just wanted your company is all." He chuckled.
"Huh, I don't think I've ever seen you off duty, I just assume you're constantly on the clock dear."
Almond paused from taking a sip of his drink to chuckle. " I get breaks Truffles! I know it doesn't look like it but I do go home."
"Yes! But I've never seen you mingle you know? You're always mean looking, I mostly assumed you just weren't a people person." She giggled.
"Aww you think I'm mean?" He playfully pouted. He gently picked up her hand and kissed it. "I can be nice too even nicer to you if you want." He winked. Herheart pounded and flustered . Smiling as she faced away hiding her blushing cheeks. she could barely comprehend her thoughts.
"Aw, don't don't turn that pretty face away. Talk to me." He smiled.
"Oh this is all so sudden."
It did feel sudden Truffles could only count the times they've interacted on her hand. And she rarely ever dated. But he was kind of rugged, and he did have a nice chizzled face. He certainly wasn't the kind of man she was used to.She really didn't mind the attention of a respectable, older man. She didn't know what it was about him, but he somehow sucked the calm confidence she'd usually carry at every moment. She felt a little vunerable, but maybe that was ok.
"Yes well, I've been having my eye on you for a while."
Such a casual response made her hold her cheek and blush.
"When did I catch your attention?"
"I always thought you were a lovely woman. I'd look at you sometimes and just couldn't help but think to myself, wow her partner must be so luckiest person in the world."
" I find that I'm the luckiest tonight " she giggled under her breath she was having such a ball she almost didn't notice her phone vibrating.
"Oh my , I'm terribly sorry but I have to go."
"Oh early day tomorrow?"
"No I have to catch the bus. I'd walk if it wasn't so dark out."
"Don't you have a car?"
"Yes but a girl must get her exercise somehow."
"Well the least I could do is escort you ."

emembering that you can change anything, or even describe or add and remove I don't want you to feel obligated to make this request, after all it is very long and if you don't like it just say No, okay
What do you think of this request? A bit of horror and comedy in between. (A painting of romance 🤔)
Red: King , Blue: Me Yellow: y/n or S/O
In Wano (anywhere you want) there is a cave that has a legend behind it. It is located near one of the important villages in the territory of King Wildfire one of the calamities, The cave transmitted terrible sounds that reached the entire village or even the neighboring village. Residents already annoyed by these eerie noises have been complaining (or talking) to King about these noise. King always said he was going to check, but without having a duty that Kaido gave him or even taking care of the great beast of the World, The Lunarian arrived at his office tired and seeing so much paperwork soon he became sullen and the fire that was on his back became big and hot. He went to his desk and sat down in the chair and picked up a folder he started leafing through the document, his eyebrows gently raised (you decide if he has the mask on or not) it was the case of the cave that said: " where a demon lives!" "The entrance to hell itself!" Remembering the case that he always had to postpone due to commitments from third parties, decided to resolve the case and file it, Taking it and left. The "mayor" of the village he was waiting for Calamity or Kaido's right arm, the poor guy was terrified because he knew if he made a mistake he could be killed by the calamity. The sound of great black wings and Graciosas were heard not only by the mayor, but by everyone in the village. (In this case you can create a line of dialogue between the Mayor and King.) After getting all the information, he went to the blessed cave which had absurd legends, being honest with himself he even liked it.after all, imagine that in a cave there would be a portal to hell. He entered the cave, the place being lit by the Lunarian flames he carried on his back. looking in all sides, corners of the cave even in the cracks,To your disappointment there was nothing there, it was just a common cave with no special features, Something in your heart said there was more, just wait.So he decided to wait until nightfall and watch or rather listen. The night came with your wonderful moon that always enchanted being that his race loved it, looking at the starry sky and admiring it soon began the so much and fearful sound, King entered the cave in silence, closer came the sound became melodies the voice was that of a girl sitting at the back of the cave, the same asked themselves " how the hell did he not see her! ", the girl was looking at him in surprise to see him. Then King realized that she had seen him soon he draws his sword and attacks without thinking too much, King's eyes widen when he sees the girl become transparent and her sword passing through her. "WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME?!" asked the girl. "I had to ask that question, after all you are in my territory!" Soon King responded coldly. "And you trespassed on my home or rather Private property! " The unknown gave the answer with pure sarcasm King looks at her with firmness and disgust again leaving in an attempt to attack, the girl uses her skill and dodges, King soon predicting this movement changes her posture and directs her attack in place of the girl's next movement (Observation Haki), in a defense mechanism she activates her akuma no mi and becomes transparent at the time. (You can create their fight or even not put it, it's up to you) " What's your problem, walking light pole? " King would soon be offended by that phrase. "Light pole, you plague " Soon the girl responds "If you thought I wouldn't notice a man who's probably six feet tall, I'm sorry I'm not giving in on that point! "  King, seeing the breach in the girl's guard, catches her and paralyzes her with a rear-naked choke he strangles her until he sees the girl unconscious on the ground, King's interest in the unknown's akuma no mi made him take her to the base, soon he was going to interrogate and find out more about the fruit.(I'll leave the ending up to you, if you want to continue, know that it's okay, if you want to choose the name of the akuma no mi, you can choose. I don't want it to be too long, add the ending you want.)
A/N:Thanks for the request :)
The cave
King sighs, leaning back in his chair. He's exhausted, but there are still tons of papers scattered across his desk, waiting to be read. He groans, grabbing the nude-colored file and starting to flip through the pages.
As he reads, his attention is suddenly drawn to a small presence in the room. It's Bao Huang, his trusted advisor. "What can I do for you, Bao Huang?" King asks, looking up from his work.
"King, there's a matter of great urgency that requires your attention," Bao Huang says gravely.
King's brow furrows. "What is it? Is there a crisis I should know about?"
Bao Huang nods and unrolls a scroll. "The residents of the Flower Capital have reported strange noises and screams from the cave. Even Orochi himself has heard the sounds. The complaints are many, but the reports are all the same. We must investigate.There isn't a need for you to read the rest of the papers on your desk as they are all filled with the papers of the complaints.." With a final hum of acknowledgement, she folds and tucks away the scroll.
"I forgot.." She pauses "They say its the cave with the crying woman Legend behind it,I'm not saying it's true but neither am I saying that it's false..They say its the way to hell itself" She hums "That is all" She bows before glinding out the room.
King raises an eyebrow looking at the files,He picks the file up bringing it with him to the flower capital
------------------------------------------------------------
King's heeled boots click as he approaches the cave, his suspicions burning bright like the flame on his back. At the cave entrance, Orochi greets him with a sigh, "Well, why the hell are you just standing are you coming inside with me? Are you too scared to enter?" King groans, tossing the scroll of complaints in Orochi's direction. Orochi effortlessly catches it with one hand,Rolling his eyes in annoyance,Orochi ventures off.
As King steps into the dark cave, he admits to himself that he's interested in the legends of the cave. The flame on his back illuminates his path, but as he venture deeper, he's disappointed to find that there's no one there. He sees no signs of anything as he searches the cave, so he decides to leave without finding anything.
King nods in understanding. "I see. The complaints state that the sounds are only heard at night." As he gazes at the setting sun and rising moon, he notes that it is a blessing and refreshing for the lunairans to see such sights. The moon's phases grant power as well, and King hums to himself as he watches the moon set.
-------------------------------------------
He crosses his arms, looking unconvinced, then suddenly jumps at the sound of screeching behind him. He turns back to the cave and immediately walks inside, saying, "There shouldn't be anyone in here. I was just here!" He thought king grips the sheath of his sword tightly, ready for anything.
He halts, surprised by the sudden appearance of the tall woman. As he examines her features, he notices that her kimono is odd, with the right side of the robe being placed over. Before he can say anything, the woman turns her head, causing him to notice that her other eye is covered by a mysterious seal.
"Who are you?" He begins to say before she interrupts him with another ear-piercing scream. "GET OUT! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" she screams at him, her screams almost deadly. Her fury is nearly overwhelming. King takes a step back, trying to keep his composure.
King grunts, holding his ears during the woman's screams. He unsheathes his sword, raising it at her while shouting, "What are you doing in the Beast Pirates' territory?" Before she can answer, he charges at her, sliding through the woman and silencing her instantly. He raises his sword again, preparing to strike her. In the blink of an eye, the woman becomes transparent, and King's sword passes through her body harmlessly. The woman jumps back, screaming, "This is my territory! MY HOME!" She looks furious, her eyes glowing with a bright yellow energy.
She raises her hand, causing a yellow aura to glow around it. King suddenly finds himself unable to move, his body feeling weak and powerless. He grunts in frustration, trying to break free from her control. In response, she laughs, floating closer to him like an evil presence.
"Your body energy is so hot. Is that tight suit getting to you, or something?" She jeers, her mocking tone filling King with rage. But he can do nothing but watch as she approaches, still unable to move.
King sends a wave of haki at the woman, causing her to stumble back and lose her grip on his movements. As soon as he regains control, he flexes his hands before slamming his foot into the woman's stomach, knocking her down. He quickly moves to the woman, wrapping his arms around her neck and squeezing tight, putting her in a rear-naked choke hold. She screams, her punches barely even reaching him as she slowly blacks out and falls on the floor. King releases her, panting heavily from the intense struggle.
As King walks out of the cave, he stares at the woman unconscious on the floor. This was no ordinary encounter, and he was left with more questions than answers. The shape of the seal on her eye was unusual, and he needed to know more about her and her connection to this cave. King picked her up, carrying her back with him. He would need to study her further and find out if she was a legend or just another devil fruit user. The mystery behind her was too great to ignore.
-------------------------------------------
A/N:That's it for now,Y'all I might do a part 2 on this,REMINDERR I MIGHTT because this was fun to write everyone my request are open and reblogs are definitely appreciated! (I hope everyone knows I write for Kaidou too)
