NSFW Xanxus with s/o? 👀
Tumblr media
Xanxus NSFW Headcanons
Warnings: seks and swearing; fem!reader; huge OOC; 100% wrong grammar, english still is not my native (it will be one day is this how it works idk); no beta we die like tyl tsuna
Note: tbh, this is really short since I'm still holding back my filthiest thoughts?? The add-on section with sub Xus can be NOT considered serious but those make me raaaaaaaaaawrrr aooga
Tumblr media
• Fucking horndog end of the story leave lieks uwu
• No really, he riles up in a second and in the most inconvenient situations. And if you don’t give him what he wants, Xanxus will be very broody for the whole day. Good luck, you will need one ngl
• Xanxus obviously likes (LOOVES) seeing you in revealing tight clothes, this bitch will drop stuff on purpose just to see your bottom if you're wearing a short skirt that day. He will not hide it, man will just be sitting with the nastiest smile, and you know you have to get that thing up since he won’t
• More of a thighs and ass type tbh. Any breast is good if he can see a nice cleavage.
• I really imagine Xanxus as a big juicy man despite Amano’a art style. His thighs worth dying between, his tiddies look heavy I can hold them bb. And I think he also enjoyed someone not really slim? He loves something to GRAB
• Not even in a sexual way. He will always grab your ass even around people and he can't even give you a coherent answer why. He just stares zero brain head empty - he can't admit out loud he loves your body, what a loser
• HUGE size kink. The nastiest, craziest size kink, he is going to be feral with a small s/o like he really means to snap them in half
• Also has a big dick, so……..can’t complain
• Choke him. Never in your life you can even choke him a little bit, but Xanxus appreciates the effort. Your both fragile feminine hands cannot do anything against him and even grab his neck fully, and that feeling of power over you gets him going.
• Then you feel his hot touch around your throat. He is going to show you how it is done
• Enjoys the fight. Someone too obedient is not his type at all, he gets bored quickly, he loves his girlie to has temperament. Scratch him, grab him, bite him and never hold back. Xanxus enjoys smell of blood, seeing your marks all over him after
• Touch. His. Scars. I’m sorry for involving feelings, but he will like it
• You can never dumbfound him with love-bombing btw. Unlike SOMEONE ahemsqualoahem
“I-i love you”
“Yeah, who doesn’t”
But he still thinks that’s lame and kills the mood
• Yes to power play but GOD FUCK NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET THE FUCK OUT YOU FREAK to Daddy kink. He has too much going on with parents and has big issues, especially with fathers. But props to being the first person Xanxus calls a freak
• Get on your knees for him and he’s so WEAK
• Speaking of weak. Xanxus thinks too much with his dick, and you won’t have much problem convincing him about something through a good blowjob (or sex in general). He knows your trick but doesn’t mind, since he’s had a good time, nay? Though sometimes he’ll fuck around and just go away “well, bye now”
• Corruption kink and no one will convince me otherwise. Having a confident skilled woman is good. But how about the most stoic, morally right woman turned into the filthiest nastiest whore just for him? Bonus point if she's a virgin, something clicking in his head. Xanxus enjoys the fact he's one and only or at least, if you break up, he's still your first and no other man will satisfy you she same way (those are his words, not mine)
• Such a dirty talker. But usually Xanxus tries to get an answer from you and just laughs and your fucked-out pathetic state. He won't stop until your eyes are glossy and absolutely empty, his dick is the only thing on your mind.
• Xanxus is shameless but still gets really angry when you two get caught. HOT TAKE. It's not about him btw, he doesn't give a shit about being seen with some one-night-stand but YOU as his partner are different. He wants people hear you and know how good he's making you feel, he wants then to see how hot, awesome, smart, pretty, confident you are BUT! Xanxus is the only one who sees you in the nastiest, most vulnerable state.
• Hot take again - he's not against eating you out. First - being between juicy thick thighs worth dying for, second - he again turns it into a dominating moment, where HE decides if you're having an orgasm.
Tumblr media
Secret-secret headcanons I myself BELIEVE
• Sit on his face. Xanxus will act like a bitch but in the end you will notice he likes it WAY too much and even has some shade of pink on his cheeks
• Just try to dominate him in general. Use the same dirty words he uses for you, don't be scared to insult him. You both are too fucked up and horny at this moment anyways, Xanxus' brain won't even comprehend what you are telling him and that actually he's supposed to get angry
• Xanxus didn't know this is his kink - a beast being tamed, huh?
• After the first time this idiot didn't even talk to you, trying to process what the hell happened. But seeing you the same as always, still treating him as a big smart boss, and that's what everyone believes, makes him hard instantly.
• Xanxus doesn't like sex toys at all (he can make you see stars without any help) but JUST MAYBE that's the first time you get whips? Question mark?
• Nah, he won't just become suddenly submissive, that's not the point. He will insult you, bite you, scratch, choke you, fight against you. If you can't handle him, you don't deserve him in this state, okay?

This is probably a silly question but I am very inept at tech - how do you make the banners for your fics? They look great and it's awesome you're doing for each A.U.gust fic (which, btw, you are KILLING).
Hi! Thank you so much! 💖
This got a bit long sorry!
It’s not a silly question at all! I didn’t really know what I was doing at first and just played around until I got the results I wanted. I mainly use a free app called ‘canva’. You have to sign up for it but most of it is free. (There is a premium version but the basic free version is pretty great.)
Canva has all sorts of different templates including two specifically for tumblr - ‘tumblr banner’ and ‘tumblr graphic’. So you can do all sorts of edits using one of their blank templates or use one of their pre-made ones.
This is what it looks like:
Tumblr media
The buttons I use are:
Design - templates you can use. If you like the style of one you can use it and delete the pictures/text but keep the font/style/elements of it.
Elements - all sorts of fun things like shapes, lines, graphics, stickers, frames and lots more
Text - fonts and styles if you want to write something on your banner
Uploads - usually I just screen shot gallavich scenes I want and save them and then upload them to canva. sometimes I google the shameless promo pics because they are quite high quality.
Tumblr media
Scrolling down a bit-
Pictures - canva provides a bunch of free images to use
Background - canva provides backgrounds which will automatically fit your template style
Pixabay & Pexels - these come from the Apps section and both have loads of free images to use. There’s a ton of other editing/picture apps but I haven’t explored them.
————
Here’s a little example:
Tumblr media
You can add pictures and then play around with different tools, effects, filters. You can also change the size & position and more. There’s an animate option but I’ve never tried that so I don’t know about how to use it.
Tumblr media
You can add text and you can add effects to the text.
——-
There’s so much you can do with this app. Much more than I usually do. In terms of the A.U.gust banners, I used a blank tumblr template and chose the font I wanted and then just changed the background picture (all taken from the free images apart from the Gallavich pics which were screen shots) and the words/numbers. So it didn’t take much time as I was just doing a lot of copying and pasting.
————
If I want to get extra fancy, then I sometimes also use a free app called Picsart. Like canva, you have to sign up and there is a premium version but the free version gives you lots of options.
There’s quite a few different editing tools but I mostly use it for effects and masks. So I make my banner or edit in canva, save it and then upload it to Picsart and play around with it.
Tumblr media
There are so many different effects you can use.
Tumblr media
There are loads of masks which can add texture or light to your edit.
————
Hopefully this is helpful? I don’t know how good I am at explaining things 😅 I know it seems a bit complicated but actually, once you play around and test things out - you get the hang of it and it becomes really fun and easy to make edits like this! But please do let me know if you (or anyone else reading this) have any questions! 💖💖💖

What would be their favorite series?
Tumblr media
(the gif is not mine)
Swiss: Gossip Girl
NO matter what anyone says, Swiss is sassy. He must be the one who turns on the TV with a bottle of wine and switches to Gossip Girl (Cirrus and Cumulus are also watching it with him) I can also see him wearing pink to watch the new Barbie movie. W rizz for Swiss.
Sodo: The Walking Dead
I have nothing to add, that's it and that's it
Aether: Friends
I think Aether likes comedy and this series matches his energy. I'm sure Chandler and Rachel are one of his favorite characters. Chandler gives me an Aether vibe.
Rain: Never Have I Ever
One word RomCom. Rain is the one who gets into bed after a hard day and takes out the tissue (😈) , bring the rest of the wine left by Swiss and watch a romantic movie (in this case, a series) THIS GHOUL NEEDS LOVE. END OF STORY.
Mountain: Peaky Blinders
Crime, drama, history, series? It's the best together. Now imagine him dressed in a suit like a big gang leader. Our dear calm Ghoul is the biggest criminal (only in his mind). If he was invited to appear in a series like Peaky Blinders, the poor thing would pass out. (if I were not writing about a series right now, The Godfather would be a dream choice for Mountain)
Phantom: Shameless
I don't know why, but when I think of Phantom, this series somehow jumps into my mind. Don't ask me, but I stand by this opinion.
Cirrus: Lucifer
I know you've been waiting for this word. I don't need to say much about this series, I think everyone knows it, Cirrus first started watching because she was curious how people could see Lucifer. And later she became addicted to this series. Are there new parts? No one could go near the TV until Cirrus had watched the last new episode.
Cumulus: American horror story
Hear. Me. Out. Cumulus LOVES horror and what could be better than a horror movie? A horror series. She watches American Horror Story alone. She likes to pay attention to details and there are many of them in this series, so she can watch it happily without any distractions. (btw, I think Phantom is afraid of horror movies, so Cumulus doesn't even watch similar movies around him)
Sunshine: Wednesday
I think Sunshine LOVES the supernatural sleazy series. I'm sure her other favorite is Teen Wolf. Well, back to Wednesday. As I wrote last time, Sunshine is an energy bomb who loves to move, go and explore. There is a werewolf girl named Enid in the series. I think Sunshine and Enid (as a character) could be the same person. They move all day, they smile all the time, they bring joy to people's lives.
Aurora: Euphoria
This woman is a mood, just like euphoria. (I haven't seen the entire series, so if what I'm writing is not correct, I'm sorry in advance) The protagonist of Euphoria wants to escape from the world. I think that's what Aurora did when she found this band. The fact that Aurora can finally feel at home means a life to her. I think this series shows her the path she took, and I'm also sure that she wouldn't be able to watch it even once without crying. (I don't know who believes that Ghouls and Ghoulettes are actually demonic beings. I like this ASSUMPTION. I don't know who's thinking and what and I can't prove anything against anything. But even if it's the case that they're not human, I don't think Aurora was summoned by them either. I think Aurora was once summoned by someone and she was stuck on the Earth looking for what she had to do here and not in hell. That's when she met Papa. BUT this is my opinion, this is not true, i mean is possible, but I am sure that it is not, but that is beside the point. Everyone can think what they want or not?.)
Copia: Sherlock
Copia always gives me such a vintage vibe, don't ask me I don't get it either. But the feeling is that when Copia can immerse himself in a series, then only Sherlock can be considered here. Papa Sherlock. Give this man a magnifying glass, a pipe and a hat and we have the happiest leader.

Replying to @luvjiro but unfortunately I had to cut the lovely fanart manga panels because I couldn't find the original source to add credits [f*ck Pinterest🖕]. Too bad because I love this fanart so so much 😢
Tumblr media
Hey Zen 💖💖
Of course I remember you Sweetie!!! How are you???
I love your art & your humor, so please keep being yourself 😘
Sorry to "love attack" you in my tags lmao I had no intention to make you cry 😢 But you deserve every word I wrote 💖
You're so enthusiastic!!! [I love that btw] Yes I'm a huge & shameless Levihan shipper but I tend to enjoy more Levi ships lately, mostly pairing him with Erwin or with Hange & Erwin at the same time, because he deserves all the love & attention in the world 🥹
I came across huge spoilers as I started to watch the anime so I already knew how it ended at S1 E4 & I read the manga because the damage was already done 😭😭 Nevertheless I couldn't resist & dove into shipping Levi with Hange, their dynamics are so enjoyable, their bond is so strong, both personalities are so interesting & reveal themselves best when they interact imo.
You're so right, Hange is a unique character, deep, endearing, lovable, well written, whose singularity lasts until the end of the story, someone true to their words, beliefs & heart, true to their inner self no matter what other may think of their acts or of them. I love them so much 💜💜
Of course I cried so so much reading chapter 132, a pain renewed when I watched it animated [I cried for 3 to 4 days, even at the office in front of my boss, ok I'm not insane I swear, I was devastated]
Fun fact : when I received your ask, I was looking at the same panels!!!! I knew these already but found them again on Pinterest & added them to my gallery the day before lmao!!! [There are more than those you sent, did you see them all??] This fanart manga is so so sweet, the way Levi takes off Hange's glasses as they sleep is so soft, yes yes yes I love this forest Levihan moment so much, the softness, the intimacy, everything is perfect there & the drawing style is beautiful 💚💜 It gets me sentimental too & it fills my heart with warmth & love for Levi & Hange even more than usual ❤️❤️ They really deserved better 😔
Thanks for dropping by & brightening my day Zen ❤️❤️❤️ Yes I can feel your heart [BMTH playing in the distance] & I hope you can feel mine 🫂
Sending lots of love 💖💖
[As I had to cut the fanart you sent, here's a lovely Levihan kiss drawn by my friend Ash @ashh-ketchup original post here. Enjoy 😀] [I miss you & I love you Ash ❤️❤️]

just got done playing wave 2 of the mk8 dlc tracks! turnip cup was pretty good! i really liked new york minute (very much enjoyed the poster near the starting line that just said "BROADWAY MUSICAL" in big stupid font), i loved the neat little twist they put on kalimari desert, and WALUIGI PINBALL MY BELOVED <3. but i'm sorry, you couldn't pay me to give a shit about the snes mario circuit tracks. or any snes import tracks, tbh, they're so flat and boring. like, you'll add slopes and verticality and shit like that into the gba tracks but not the snes tracks? c'mon.
the propeller cup is where it's AT tho. sydney sprint was prolly my least fave of the tracks from tour so far (btw, i'm honestly surprised by how much i've been enjoying the tour tracks, i'm a sucker for the whole "each lap takes a slightly different route" gimmick), but it was still enjoyable enough. i thought i wasn't gonna like snow land at first bc i thought the road had ice physics, but either i was mistaken or i got used to it before the end of the first lap bc i quite enjoyed it! aesthetically, snow courses have always been my favorite mario kart tracks, i always love seeing the penguins, and- in terms of dlc tracks originating from super circuit, it was a hell of a lot more interesting than sky garden. i'm a shameless nostalgia whore for mario kart wii, it was my first mario kart game, you'd have to fuck up royally to get me to hate mushroom gorge. funny mushrooms go boing. and sky-high sundae? the all new track? very fun, very relaxing, very aesthetically pleasing! it didn't have me going "!!! 👀👀👀" like the multiple pathways in ninja hideaway from wave 1, but it was chill and fun, and i enjoyed how it used anti-gravity throughout the entire course!
all in all, very fun cups for the most part! can't wait for wave 3, whenever that happens!

𝓗𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓗𝓸𝓵𝓭𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓣𝓲𝓶𝓮~
With: Leona, Sebek, Jade, Floyd, Vil, Kalim
Warning: So I know that what I made is really annoying for others... so I'd like to warn you that at the beginning, you will see me ramble about the character's hands. If you want to skip to the hc, go to where the 🤝 emoji is. ^~^
Note:Also, I’d like to address that I do not know how to make Headcanons for the life of me.... So this is just me making a shameless hc, with my shameless hand addiction, fueling my shamelessness, as I shamefully self insert myself in these things I wrote... Forgive me for my shamelessness.... Also, pardon me for my annoying commentary and emojis. I simply do not know how to control my excitement and my feelings so😔👊
AND YES! I THINK THIS IS A CRACK HC LOL!
Tumblr media
LEONA KINGSCHOLAR:
-I'd like to break the silence by saying... LEONA'S HANDS ARE BIG AND MUSCULAR! Leona works out in magift so it's a given that he'd have scrumptious big hands😳😳😳
-Leona's hands are chonky😳 he has long fingers that will surely make yours look very small! Also look at Leona's nails! Its ok looking for me, but it's pretty neat so👌👌👌👌
-Leona's got this rough and rugged look, so I think his hands will probably be kinda rough, BUT NOT THE CRUSTY ROUGH! it's more of the manly rough. A firm hold with his loaded wrist😏
Ok curious what will happen if you hold hands? I gotchu fam:🤝
-Imagine if the both of you were napping and you suddenly intertwined you fingers with his. Leona is a sleepy boi, BUT MAN! HE IS AWARE! Lion boi felt ur hands creeping unto his, but he'll pretend he didn't know that😏
-Leona LOVES holding hands! Only at private tho. This cat boy will never admit to that, but keep holding his hands and look at his reaction. He. Won't. Shrug. You. Off.😏😏👊
-Also when you play and fidget with leona's hands when you're doing premarital hand holding which is illegal btw he loves it when he looks at you spaced out fumbling your fingers with his.
-Leona has big hands, so he'll definitely make yours look wayyyyy smaller. AND LION BOI FINDS THIS ADORABLE! DO NOT FORGET THY HOLY WORDS!
-Lion boi is secretly the type to hold your hands when you're sleeping. He plays with your fingers, admiring how cute and small it is.
-Oh wait...Oops...he got caught... LEONA IS CAUGHT RED HANDED?😳 You wake up finding leona playing with your hands? It's either he turns on his back from embarrasment and tells you to sleep, or he squeezes your hands tighter and burries your face in the crook of his neck from embarrassment. He'll play it off as annoyed, but cat got his toungue huh?. Oh wait.... He IS the big cat😏😏😏
Ok enough babbling with leona...
SEBEK ZIGVOLT:
AHAHAHAHAHA YES MY FAVORITE HANDS! Cough, I'm sorry about that
-Sebek has proportional hands. His is more on the medium-big side. But it is perfectly proportional! At least in my eyes...😳
-The back of his hands are smooth and spotless! Very scumptious to look at! Pls look at sebek's hands too!😳😳😳
-Bebek has PRETTY NAILS UGHHH! He most likely trims and takes care of it every week! Not the best nails, BUT VERY NEAT!😳
-Bebek is a highkey fanboy of malleus, so he trains everyday to protecc his God and saviour Malmal. Naturally, he'll have calloused and rough hands... BUT DO NOT FRET MY CHILDREN! It is not that noticable which shookt me. His hands are a bit roughed up, welp can't help it, he's a man with mang jobs after all. (Yes, I call him bebek because sebek is babey🥺)
Curious what will happend if you hold hands with Bebek? I gotchu fam:🤝
-Sebek is a child so he won't really initiate first on holding hands. BUT WHEN YOU DO! OH BOI!😏 
-Sebek has this transparent look to his skin... Almost ghostly per say. BUT WHEN YOU HOLD HIS HANDS... Sebek is not used to this interaction so expect a tomato in front of you... Sebek's face is flushed red reaching down to his neck, and the fun part is, even his hands are blushy blushy😏😏😏😏
-After the first time the both of you held hands. Sebek will crave for it A LOT! Expect him to randomly start akwardly making way to you hands and play with it while the both of you are just chilling. Akward..... Sebek.exe will stop working when you look at him confuse, in which he'll get flustered, and ask if he can hold your hands. ADORKABLE!
-It would take him some time trying to calm himself down, all flushed and red embarrased from asking to hold hands.
-At first, Sebek will firmly hold your hands, stiff and afraid he might break your fingers or something.... Pls tell him to relax and just chill🥺🥺🥺
-When the both of you gets used to hand holding, Bebek is the type to kiss your hands as a gesture of Love....hgnnn hot!😳😳😳
I'm sorry, I'm letting my personal hand bias get the best of me..😳👉👈
JADE LEECH:
-HGNNN JADE HAS SQUISHY HANDS!😳😳
-Jade has big hands folks.... Big hands..... Perfect for unscrewing the cap of the holy water bottle.🤠
-mushroom boi has squishable hands in my eyes and you can never change my mind.
-his skin is probably smooth and sleek too, his palms must be soft but firm😳😳
-Jade has this grip that makes you feel safe for some reason. Maybe because it's big? or maybe because it's soft?
Wanna know what it's like to hold hands with mushroom boi? I gotchu:🤝
-Jade...oh Jade.... He is the first one to hold your hands in a surprise. Like... imagine after school ends, you ran up to him and he swiftly intertwines his firngers with yours..😳😳
-You are flushed from this sudden hand holding. Red cheeks, red neck. JADE FINDS THIS VERY SCRUMPTIOUS! Mushroom boi will try to push you on edge. Holding both of your hands tighter, and fumbling his fingers with yours. You're just standing there starstruck and embarrased by the sudden hold. Jade is enjoying this too much...😏😏😏
-Of course, to add more to the fun, JADE IS THE TYPE TO KISS THE BACK OF YOUR HANDS TO TEASE YOU!😳
-if you try to pull away from embarrassment...oh no.... You're just begging for Jade to tease you more huh? He'll hold you tighter and maybe even hug you.
-What if you try to hold his hands first? Oh my... Prepare yourself....if you try to hold his hands, he'll just smile like normal, but as time passes by and both of you are pretty relaxed now...that won't do.... He'd pull your hand he's holding and rest his cheeks at the back of your hand, he'd stare straight at you and tell you how much he loves you....😳😳😳
-goodluck on dealing with embarassment Jade stans (oho i know you love it)
FLOYD LEECH:
-ANOTHER EEL BOI COMING RIGHT UP!
-Floyd is whooping 191cm, it's common sense he has very big hands. Perfect for flipping the pages of the holy bible.😏😏😏
-This man child has some big rough hands! Expect your hands to look very small beside his!
- Also I want to tell you about Floyd's knuckles......I think I found my new religion now... Check out Floyd's knuckles!!😳😳😳👌
- Floyds's wrist is big too....mhmmm scrumptious eel martini😳👌
Do you want to know what it feels like to do premarital hand holding with this hot eel? ME TOO! Illegal hand holding time!🤝
-"Your hands are tiny koebi chan~" Floyd is the first one to randomly hold ur hands.😳
-If Floyd gets bored, he'd try to find interesting things to do to kill of the boredom. HMMM?! Do you see that? Koebi chan's hands! Eel boi will casually start playing with your fingers, squishing your palms as you sit there confused and embarrassed.
-He'll eventually intertwine his fingers with yours, as he points to it with his other hands and say "How cute~ koebi chan's hands are tiny!" Grinning widely with his teeth showing. Practically speaking, you are just putty in this eel boi's hands now. You are a blushing mess.😏😏 FLOYD HOW CAN ONE BE CUTE AND HOT AT THE SAME TIME?
-Eventually, floyd will start to crave having your fingers to hold on to! When you're randomly walking down the halls, don't be surprised if a random eel surprises you by linking your fingers together.🥺🥺
-Whenever eel boi sees you, he'd grab your hands automatically. He loves holding your teeny tiny hands with his big ones.😳
-When you avert your attention to something else, he made this habit of squeezing your hands a bit and looking at you with a pouty face. UGHHH MY HEART HURTS THINKING ABOUT IT-
-Whenever he gets jealous, he grabs unto your hands quite tightly, even if the both of you are out in public. Let's say a random dude keeps on talking to you. He'll grab your hands that’s still intertwined with his, and he'll bring it very very VERY CLOSE to his face.😳😳😳 Then he'd look at you straight in the eye as he bites unto your palms. He'd whisper "You're mine right? Koebi-chan~"😳😳😳
I'm getting too much into floyd, this is starting to become a fanfic🤦
VIL SCHOENHEIT:
-MY CRUSTY VILL~🥺🥺🥺
-Ok vil's hands aren't crusty ok? He may be crusty, but not his hands!!!
-My man vil drowns in hand creams, so expect his hands to feel like clouds. It's soft, smooth and most importantly SQUISHYYY!😳😳😳
-Looking at vil's hands is not that exciting ngl... BUT HIS LAB COAT ONE IS👌 very beautiful👌very scrumptious👌
-Vil has proportional and perfect hands. Fingers are in the medium side, so as his hand size. Very perfect indeed.
-His hands might look frail and feminine at first, BUT MAN! You are so wrong! From a gentle hold, it can escalate to a very strong hot grip in seconds.😳
-The back of his hands looks smooth tbvh. And his nails are ok. BUT HE PROBABLY PUTS A LOT OF EFFORT IN MAKING HIS HANDS PERFECT! SO KUDOS TO MY CRUSTY VIL!🥺
Let's hold Vil's hands illegally ok? Don't tell the cops shhhhh! Hand holding time:🤝
-It would start off as a normal vibing session. The both of you are probably having tea, studying, or mainly just chilling in the lounge.
-But suddenly... Vil takes notice of your hands...Hold your wigs kids.... he'd ask you if you've been taking care of your hands, in which you answer "no" shamefully.
-But Vil will then smile at you and tell you you should take care of your hands and use hand creams to prevent them from going rough! He'll lecture you about how you should take care of yourself so the both of you can be perfect and beautiful together.
-Suddenly vil whips out a handcream from his bag, and he'll ask you for your hands.
-As embarrasing as it sounds. The most beautiful man in twisted wonderland is putting handcream on you.😳😳😳
-Vil would definitely massage your small fingers and compliment how pretty your hands are. He'd tell you how cute your nail are and how soft your palms are. Thats it. You're a blushing mess right now!!😳😳
-You'd try to look away from embarrasment, but when vil sees this... Oh boy... He'd pout, and as he's massaging your hands. He'd intertwine your fingers with his, to make you look at his direction again.
-Vil would definitely kiss your fingers and say "You're beautiful, my love."
VIL I LOVE YOU! ok thats all for that, I'm dying rn.
KALIM AL-ASIM:
-Kalim you adorkable sunshine boi😳😳😳
- Kalim has smol hands, BUT NOT TOO SMALL! I'd say, it's probably perfect for you to hold hands with.😏😏😏
-His nails are also small, I think? But it's cute, and turns out i'm a sucker for cuties.🥺
-His lab card is scrumptious.... Both the hands and the food he is cooking...😳😳😳 I hope i'm not the only one who thinks that.....
-ALSO HE HAS A LOT OF ACCESSORIES IN HIS HANDS WHICH I'M WEAK FOR! omg his bracelets and bangles are making me feel hot and bothered.😳😳😳
-Anyways, kalim is sunshine so expect his hands to be warm and full of infectious positivity.🥺
Wanna have a chance to hold kalim's hands? Ur in for a ride fam!🤝
-At first, you's simply be invited for a flying carpet ride by ya sunshine boi, kalim. Pretty simple huh? Nahhhhh! 
-Of course, in order to get to the carpet where kalim is, sunshine boi needs to lift you up in the air.
-Kalim will offer his hands whilst riding on the carpet. Hggnnn such a cliche scene from a movie🥺👌
-But the thing is...... Even if you're already in the magic carpet, sunshine boi will forget he was holding your hands...😏
-He'll keep on telling fun stories and talking to you while both of you are high up in the clouds. Oops.... You noticed you're holding kalim's hands... You went red and flushed from embarrasment. Your hands begin to get sweaty as you stare at the both of yours and kalim's hands together...
-Expect your sunshine boi to take notice of this and ask you what's wrong... You'd point at his hands embarrasingly as you look away in the other direction.
-To your surprise, when you look at kalim again. Kalim is beet red too! A BEET RED KALIM IS RARE! DO NOT FORGET THIS MOMENT GAMERS!🥺🥺🥺
-He'd ask you if it's ok to hold onto your hands maybe just a little bit more???? It's not a sin to ask for more right?😏
-Kalim lets go of your hands for a moment. BUT DONT WORRY! he'll just try to properly hold your hands this time! He'll intertwine his fingers with yours, and maybe lightly squeeze it too.😳
-After this brief akward moment, Kalim goes back to his sunshine tendencies. Smiling brightly like the sun he is🥺🥺🥺

Kisses from the moon
Hello! I wanted to write shameless fluff with lots of kisses and this is exactly what it is. I’d like to believe that for a first timer in the kissing department, I did it okay lmao
It's rated t btw. You can find it in ao3 as well. Enjoy!
Summary: She didn’t know how it happened, the only thing she recalls is that they had meant to depart with one chaste kiss on the lips and somehow it had quickly escalated to unknown territory, though for sure not quite an unpleasant one.
It hasn’t been that long since the battle of the Storm Spire and relationships among the neighboring kingdoms couldn’t be any more restrained — the shifting alliances have been slightly worrisome but the newly pledge between the Dragon Queen and the young King of Katolis compensate all the arising uncertainties, if just a little.
Rayla doesn’t know that much about politics but she supposes that last bit gave enough solace to the kingdom. A bright occurrence amidst the cataclysmic disputes and deadly wars.
And since this was now her home away from home, she was very well informed — rather unwillingly — in its state of affairs.
Both Callum and Ezran (and Bait too, apparently) had firmly made her know that if she was one hundred percent sure and at ease with the idea overall, she was more than welcome to stay in Katolis, no matter if it was merely a temporary arrangement. It took quite a lot of arguments and counterarguments from both parties and even further persuasion from the two brothers (and frog) for her to concede to the proposition with an underlying hesitation.
She was fairly certain that her residency in the kingdom — and in the castle no less — will not be as gladly received. She’ll have to withstand many scornful looks and insensitive judgments left and right, her presence won’t do any good there. Plus, she would feel so out of place and a little bit too conscience-stricken for her liking. But then again she didn’t have anywhere else to go, nowhere to call home.
It was all very confusing and frustrating, rightfully so.
Later that night, with the moonlight casting shadows over the two lovers that were basking in the company of one another and with no impending death hanging in the air, a five-fingered hand was tenderly holding her four-fingered one, a warm smile on each of their faces. Lazy strokes were traced on her wrist, going up to her palm and finally detouring to each of her fingers, making careless doodles with the tip of his forefinger. She let out a sigh of contempt.
A murmured ‘I love you’ was softly said to the wind followed by an imaginary heart being drawn on her palm.
She looked over at him. His eyes had softened a great deal and he now sported the gentlest of grins, he redrew the heart for emphasis. Rayla intertwined their fingers together and gave his hand an affectionate squeeze.
She’ll never get tired of hearing it.
“I love you, too.”
And maybe that was the little push that she needed to make up her mind.
That’s how she got here. In Katolis, she meant. Definitely not with her back pressed slightly against the wall and a pair of gentle hands that held onto her with urgency, if just a little shyly.
She didn’t know how it happened, the only thing she recalls is that they had meant to depart with one chaste kiss on the lips and somehow it had quickly escalated to unknown territory, though for sure not quite an unpleasant one.
They were both expected somewhere else, the kiss was just a farewell gesture, something to get them through the day until they could be close with each other again — which was most likely to be late at night or early morning for how tight their schedule was today.
Rayla needs to break it off. They need to get going. She doesn’t.
She felt his hands that were once placed safely on her waist, slowly trail down to rest on her hips with a lose grip. Hers started their journey upwards, tracing his neck with feather-light touches to finally cup each side of his jaw. Their lips moved against one another at a deliberately slow pace, their noses brushing every so often with each gentle pull.
They have kissed before, of course, but nothing like this.
A loving peck on the lips, a quick kiss on the forehead, even a small brush of lips against each knuckle. They had definitely had some kisses that had lasted more than they should have but even those seemed to be cut short. No, this is new.
The gap between them came to be nonexistent, their breaths mingling together in their shared space. She felt warmth blossom in her chest as he pulled her even closer, his thumb slowly drawing small circles on her hip and when she felt him smile against her lips she couldn’t help but let a small smile out too.
Kissing him has always felt quite exhilarating, a rush of feeling that made her heart soar and her mind numb. A tingling sensation that extended from the tip of her fingers up to her very lips, a warmth that consumed her and spread like a wildfire within. Rayla has never kissed anyone before — she hadn’t felt the need to, having little interest in that sort of matter before— but she had seen Runaan and Ethari display little shows of affections every so often, and as a kid, her inherent curiosity had led her to wonder how loving someone felt like.
Ethari had said that it was like holding your whole heart in between your hands, so delicate and precious that the rest of the world blurs and fades away having no point of comparison with its beauty. Runaan, ever the pragmatic, said that it was a matter of sentiment — you feel everything more intensely.
She reckons that both are quite true, to some extent. Though, she might add her own contribution to the mix: it felt like a typhoon of emotions all at once; you feel weak yet strong, confused yet never more certain in your life, vulnerable yet empowered. It’s warm-hearted, a tender gesture. But then again, it’s something that she cannot fully put into words because the concept is so abstract and the action is so blissful that no notion will ever do justice to what she feels.
Soft kisses soon became frenzied presses of lips and their hands seemed to have a mind of their own, moving on their own accord and trying to frantically touch every patch of skin, clinging to the fabric of clothes in an attempt to be closer. His breath faintly tickled the skin beneath her nose, their heartbeats rhythmically pounding against their chests, and the almost inaudible sighs of delight, whenever their lips brushed against each other, was all she could hear in the secluded corner of the castle. Her senses were overflowed with his presence.
She couldn’t help the soft gasp she let out when he gently bit her bottom lip and pulled it in between his own. It was definitely something they haven’t done before and the action's intimacy promptly took her off guard.
And then he was frantically pulling away, eyes wide with horror and with eyebrows that seemed to reach his hairline, his lips the tiniest bit swollen from their whole encounter. His hands were still on her hips but if he was desperately trying to bring her forward before, he was now doing his best to hold her at arm’s length.
He was quite a sight and she would find it in herself to poke fun at his ridiculous countenance if she didn’t think he was on the verge of a mental collapse.
“I-I’m so sorry, that was not— and I just— I got carried away... Not that that excuses it! I — oh Gods,” Callum stumbled over his words, hand clasped over his eyes, and shifting uneasily on both feet. Rayla had trouble deciphering the inarticulate unfinished sentences that were being stuttered past his mouth but his body language could clue her in.
She raised a single eyebrow whilst fighting an amusing smile from breaking out.
With tentative fingers, she reached forward to lace their fingers together with the hand that was covering his face, his momentary flinch didn’t go unnoticed as she did so.
“Hey,” she softly said with a small smile on her face because leave it to him to straight-up freak out during one of the most intoxicating kisses they have shared so far in their relatively new courtship. She gently rubbed her thumb on the side of his hand as a silent way to reassure him that it was all good. He visibly relaxed a tiny bit, though still showing a little apprehension for his actions done in the spur of the moment. “I liked it.” She shrugged, not quite meeting his eyes and she wanted to smack herself for the uncharacteristic demeanor.
She felt a coy smirk tug at the corners of her mouth, “I really liked it.” Rayla relished the way his face went from rueful to downright embarrassed, a deep flush spreading all over his cheeks and up to the tips of his ears. She couldn’t stop the heartening laugh this time.
“O-oh?” She heard him mumble. He rubbed the back of his neck with the hand that was not holding hers, and she playfully rolled her eyes at her dorky human prince’s antics.
“In fact, I wouldn’t mind tryin’ it out again.” She said while mindlessly arranging the scarf on his neck that has become rumpled by her own doing. She looked at him solemnly, this being a little unfamiliar to both of them and the uncertainty of how to approach was slowly killing her. With a clear of his throat and his forest green eyes thoroughly searching hers to silently confirm what she had put into words, he shifted forward.
“Well, in that case,” He brought one hand to pull her closer while he raised the other one to caress her cheek lovingly. His eyes stared earnestly at her as if he could find all the wonders in the world by solely looking at her. It was wistful thinking, but she’d rather not dwell into that right now. Not when the only thing that matters was the blitheness from her heart and the prince that was the cause of it all.
He drew her toward him as the space between them once again diminished and with half-closed eyes, slightly pursed lips, and with the erratic thumps of the heart filling the air, they slowly leaned in again.
He nudged his nose against hers and placed a small kiss in the corner of her lips. Callum smiled, he went to do the same on the other side but she’d have none of it. She looped her forearms loosely at the back of his neck and lunged forward — she took delight in the muffled hum of surprise.
Their lips glided lazily but surely against each other, and this time — with the self-consciousness fading away and the overwhelming feelings of adoration rising in its place — the kiss quickly took a passionate turn. Fervent lips searched hers and she returned the gesture in equal measure.
When they came to this corner almost hidden from any prying eyes to share a light kiss, one which swiftly became so much more, Rayla had been concerned they would get caught. They never seemed to get any privacy in the heavily guarded walls of the castle and sneaking around resulted in their last resort, something that both thrilled her and troubled her; there was always a crown guard just around the corner, a handmaid that not so subtly eyed them from afar, or worse, the High Cleric that without fail appeared around inopportune instances.
The number of times she had wished the earth to open up and swallow her whole were unimaginable.
But now, as she now pulled his bottom lip in between her own, that thought was dismayed and stored in the back of her mind because kissing Callum made all of those seem as insignificant worries as every kiss felt like the very first one — she was sure there wasn’t a greater feeling than being in his arms. She could stay here forever.
That was until a nervous cough could be heard behind them, a few paces away from the darkened corner. They jumped apart.
“Prince Callum,” Corvus gave a slight bow, eyes not quite looking directly at the couple, “your presence is required in the throne room.” He cleared his throat, posture uptight as always but shifting from one leg to another rather uneasily.
Oh, sweet primals.
Rayla could already feel the burning sensation on her face and ears and quickly disentangled herself from his embrace in an attempt to put some proper distance between them. He was not expecting her briskly move and promptly stumbled over his own two feet, arms flailing to catch his balance before he fell somewhat unceremoniously on the ground below.
“Corvus, hi! Yeah, I was just on my way. I was just telling Rayla about the... uh,” He trailed off, unsure of what to say that would be credible enough to somehow cover up their real deed. Rayla was sure she was just about to die from embarrassment.
Corvus placed both his arms behind himself and with a deadpan expression affirmed, “I assure you, your highness, I do not need an explanation. It is all good. Nevertheless, let’s not keep the High Council and the King waiting, shall we?” Rayla could have guaranteed the corners of his mouth lifted in the slightest — almost imperceptible — in what she could only assume was amusement. “And Rayla, Soren is waiting in the courtyard for your daily training session.”
With that last bit, she nodded in acknowledgment and went straight to where she was initially supposed to be nearly fifteen minutes ago. And she almost gave Soren the triumph of his life since the only thing on her mind was how much she had enjoyed their little rendezvous and the excitement of its reprise was as annoying as it was enthralling.

are there any tropes you wanted to stay away from with each character or the setting of danganronpa? its a pertty formulaic thing but you made it probably 10x more interesting than the usual game. maybe its because of the depth in charcters or the stakes but wh just seems more engaing than most real dr games! i love your works btw!
I'm really honored that you feel that way about my story! Thank you!
I should warn that my response is going to be somewhat critical of Danganronpa. I want to clarify that I still enjoy the games and it's perfectly fine if anyone disagrees, but these are my opinions and I feel they are important to my response.
First off, I guess I'm not sure if there's any setting tropes I mind in DR. The settings are actually pretty unique to each game and tie into the murders decently. WH obviously has a different setting, but that's more to fit the story rather than avoiding DR tropes.
There are, however, a lot of character tropes I intentionally avoided in WH:R.
Singular Buff Character Who Dies in Chapter 4
WH:R has two buff characters (formerly named Jerome and Ryan) and without going into spoilers, they may or may not have anything to do with Part 04. I don't know, this trope is just so overdone that I saw Gonta's design and instantly predicted that he'd die in Chapter 4. I thought it had to be a red herring, but no. That indeed happened just as expected. I don't want people to be able to predict deaths just by looking at a character design.
Girls Must Wear Skirts
Fun fact, there are only three female Danganronpa characters who don't wear skirts. They would be Aoi Asahina (wears shorts, much like an athletic swimmer would outside of the pool), Hiroko Hagakure (Yasuhiro's mom, wears jeans), and Ruruka Ando (Confectionary girl from DR3, wears very, very short shorts-). Unless there's someone I'm forgetting, every other DR girl wears skirts. Now, I'm aware that this is because most Japanese school uniforms require girls to wear skirts. But given how... bizarre everyone's outfits already are, do all the girls HAVE to wear skirts??? Given the weird fanservice of the games, I feel like it's more to make the girls reveal more skin/slim figure idk :/
I'm getting carried away here. Anyway, WH:R doesn't take place in a Japanese school so I made sure that the women aren't all wearing skirts. And while we're on the subject...
Sexual Fanservice
I'm not against it, but I personally feel like sexual fanservice in a Murder Mystery game (especially involving teenagers) is really uncomfortable. Every game has certain female characters designated to making fanservice moments (DR1: Aoi, DR2: Akane, Mikan, v3: Miu) (Junko for all three I guess-) (Also yes I'm aware that Mikan's fanservice is part of her character/backstory but it doesn't change the fact that the CGs are there for shameless fanservice. They could've drawn the scenes where her back was to the screen or something and conveyed the same message but they made sure to show Everything.)
There's also plenty of designs that are overly revealing; obviously anyone can wear what they want and a large chest is not inherently sexual but it's pretty clear to me that a lot of the revealing designs are for fanservice. Once again, these are mainly teenagers, and the older I get the more it unsettles me.
Anyway, I really wanted to avoid doing sexual fanservice for WH:R. Even though all characters but one are adults, it's just not something I want to write in a story like this. It's not my style.
The Rat
I mentioned this in a previous post, but I ended up avoiding the Rat Character trope. It's not that I dislike it, but I quite enjoyed having the characters all mean well (except for the Puppetmaster, of course.)
(But if I were to have a rat character in WH:R, they'd be the Super Diamond Level Griefer haha)
Resident Dumbass
Yasuhiro, Kazuichi, Kaito, and Akane come to mind (yeah the middle two aren't actually dumb but they tend to fall into this trope regardless). Having to do an entire minigame just to convince Yasuhiro that Kyoko wasn't a literal ghost comes to mind... Idk, I guess I just feel like characters like Kazuichi and Kaito are actually smarter than that but because it's "funny" they have to say illogical stuff throughout the games? Perhaps in a game with voice acting it can be a funny aside, but in a novel that kind of stuff would just slow everything down.
I don't know, it's not like everyone in WH:R is super smart, but that's a trope I tried to avoid.
Rude Characters (?)
Okay this isn't really a trope but Danganronpa tends to always have abrasive characters, but given that WH:R has a main cast of friends, it wouldn't make much sense for there to be much rudeness. I guess Ryan would be the closest to that but he still genuinely cares about the group.
This isn't a bad trope, it's just more natural to exist in Danganronpa because the characters there start off as strangers.
Conclusion
I can't really think of other tropes at the moment. Maybe if I think of more I'll reblog this. But I want to clarify that most of these "tropes" are avoided because of personal preference and differences in media, not necessarily because they're inherently bad.
This next part isn't exactly answering the ask, but I'm assuming that I get these asks from people who are interested in making their own fangans. So here are my two cents.
I've seen fangans that are made out of love for DR and I've seen fangans made out of spite and dislike for some aspects. Both reasons are valid (mine is mostly the former with a slight hint of the latter that's grown over the years). Kodaka's writing is definitely flawed; however, making fangans purely out of spite is dangerous. I don't want to name names, but there is one fangan in particular where the writer admitted to hating Danganronpa and only focused on adding what they wanted. But they neglected the most important part: having a solid story and cast.
Whether or not you love or hate Danganronpa, if you're writing a fangan, it is important to consider the many subjective reasons people are drawn to/away the series. I'm a firm believer that every story has something to teach a writer; even if the lesson is simply "I really don't like these tropes", considering why is insightful.
It mostly boils down to style, in my opinion. Danganronpa has a much different tone with its wacky characters and dialogue and scenarios, but that's Kodaka's style. My style is more grounded in reality, with each character having their own depth that comes up in the main plot and not just in Free Time Events. This is because my stories are more character-driven, and I personally dislike important character information that is sidelined to bonus content. I'm the kind of writer that never makes an OC that's not part of a story, cuz my style has every character play an important role.
(However, one can argue that in a visual novel, having more character depth in Free Time Events adds greater meaning because the player gets a special insight from choosing to interact with certain characters. In a regular novel, there isn't really that kind of interaction. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the media you're working with is also important.)
I think one of the biggest lessons I learned while writing WH is that forcing yourself to imitate any writer's style when trying to take inspiration is going to fall flat. It's kind of apparent in the beginning of WH, but I used to be feel like I had to follow the Danganronpa style even when I had my own desires for the story.
In reality, every writer is different and has their own quirks that they enjoy but other writers might not. There are many things I dislike about Kodaka's writing, but I know those things are definitely appealing to other people. Likewise, I know my style is not for everyone. It's fine to try and branch out if you want, but one has to recognize what one is comfortable with.
This lesson is still hard for me to absorb sometimes because I don't have much confidence in my storytelling abilities, but I'm gradually accepting that this fangan is my own. I am doing my own spin on the Danganronpa story and that's okay.
And honestly, that's what every fangan should be; a writer's own spin on the Danganronpa plot concept. So while here are the tropes I made sure to avoid, that doesn't mean other writers need to do the same. Figure out what works best for you and what YOU want to see in a Danganronpa story.
(Holy crap this was so long I'm so sorry-)

Hi Jules! 👋🏻 Sooo I just read the work of art that is Oblivius (not sure why I haven't read it this whole time, btw I assume it's meant to be spelled as 'Oblivius'?) and my jaw is on the floor. Oh my looorrddd I'm again reminded that the way you write is simply amazing. It makes me wonder if you would ever consider writing a Scenes From A Marriage fic? Because the way you flesh out emotions and make things feel so visceral is just.. I dunno, I think SFAM is right up that angsty alley and I think your writing style would definitely nail the complex, layered, they're-both-guilty thing going on in SFAM. Especially episode 2, have you seen it? OMG IF YOU HAVEN'T THEN YOU SHOULD IT'S SO GOOD!
I don't remember the last time I lost track of a whole hour watching a TV series since the early days of GoT and perhaps Handmaid's Tale, but those shows have so much going on that it really wasn't surprising that an hour passes by in a jiffy. I mean one literally had dragons and direwolves, and the other practically had shock factor as the main premise of the show lol. But SFAM is just two people talking. That's it. And yet..
Okay sorry for the ramble, I'm just so impressed that something so simple can be so gripping and then add reading Oblivius to the mix.. Boom. Shameless rambling lol! Anyways, I hope you're having a great day!
-🐼-
Good morning 🐼!!!
Oh my love🥺-
thank you so much, (yes it’s meant to be spelled oblivius after a strokes song!)
I can’t even explain how lovely this message is - I’ve been staring at it for a while just smiling like a dope. Truly - thank you.
Now- SFAM- I haven’t seen it yet, because I am horrible and impatient I sort of want to wait until it’s fully out and then I can binge lol. I cannot wait!
I want to start branching out a bit, write more about other characters - hopefully I’ll think of something within that world.
I hope you have a lovely day babe! 🥰💖

I love the idea of time travel and I just couldn’t get this idea out of my head, so here’s a little time travel story! Reworked this so it’s slightly different and longer! Planning on a part two soon.....
———
Ian had been standing in the kitchen of his and Mickey’s new apartment. He had been about to make some coffee and take it to his husband who was still sleeping. Everything had been normal and fine - he’d been idly thinking about what they were going to do that day. It was Saturday and Mickey had, the night before, demanded not to be woken early, but other than that, they had no plans. Maybe a dip in the pool? It was sunny, but not too warm, which was good because the slightly cool weather meant less people in the pool.
And, just as he was imagining swimming lazily in an empty pool with his husband, it seemed like he blinked and the whole world had shifted sharply. He felt dizzy and his vision swam, his body felt weak and he collapsed against a nearby wall, trying to catch his breath. It was like no feeling he’d ever experienced.
Blinking furiously, he noticed something alarming - he was not leaning against his kitchen wall, he was somewhere else. Somewhere he never thought he’d ever go again. Somewhere it was impossible to go again, but he recognised it immediately. The Milkovich house. He glanced around at his surroundings, struggling to understand how he could be standing outside Mickey’s old bedroom. What the fuck?? Was he dreaming? Or, worse, hallucinating? If he was dreaming or hallucinating, it was the most realistic thing he had ever experienced, there was nothing dreamlike about it. Everything looked exactly the same as he remembered - the signs on Mickey’s door, the dirt covered carpet, the dimly lit hallway - it even smelled the same - that stale mixture of smoke, beer and sweat.
It was too much - this situation he found himself in, it couldn’t be real, and yet, apparently it was. He felt a sharp burst of panic, his chest felt tight, and he reflexively clenched his hands, trying to calm himself. It was then he realised he was holding something. It was heavy and solid in his hand, and as he stared at it, it took him a few seconds to understand what he was seeing - it was a tire iron. And then everything began to click into place - he noted his worn, hand-me-down clothes and when he reached up to feel his hair with his free hand, his fingers found bangs. An overwhelming feeling of familiarity washed over him, he remembered these clothes, he remembered holding the tire iron and he remembered why he was holding the tire iron. Most importantly, he remembered this day. It was the day that everything changed between him and Mickey - the stolen gun, the fight, the sex - and he was in his teenage body. Shit.
Ian didn’t know what to do. This was impossible. There was simply no way it was possible. And yet, here he stood, years in the past. His mind began to race with possibilities - should he leave? and go where? back to the Gallagher house? or should he stay here and wait to see what happens? would anything happen? would he blink and be back in his kitchen? or was he stuck here in the past forever? He wanted to go home, to his apartment with Mickey, he wanted his husband. Mickey. A thought occurred to him - maybe Mickey, his Mickey, was here too? Not that would automatically fix everything, but at least Ian wouldn’t be alone. He stared at the door, he needed to know either way - either Mickey was also, somehow, here in the past, and they could figure this out together, or he was about to run into angry, teenage Mickey, who perhaps didn’t hate Ian as much as Ian had assumed at the time, but was definitely not his friend.
He paused outside the door, and as he took a deep breath, his hand tightened on the tire iron - unsure if he should just leave it on the floor. He definitely wasn’t going to hit Mickey with it, but if it was teenage Mickey in there, then Ian hoped the sight of the tire iron would stop Mickey from hitting him. Ian pushed open the door, and softly shut it behind him with a click. There was Mickey, laid out on the bed, face down, asleep, just as Ian remembered. It was bizarre seeing this again, at the time he had no idea how this day would change his life, but here it was - the moment that their lives began to become entwined.
This wasn’t the time to reminisce though. Ian gently, much more gently than he had done so originally, poked Mickey in the back with the end of the tire iron. Perhaps too gently, because Mickey didn’t move. This was promising - teenage Mickey was a light sleeper, but in the safety of their apartment, adult Mickey had began to sleep heavily, and Ian hoped that the fact Mickey didn’t move immediately meant that this was his husband.
“Mickey. Wake up.” Ian moved closer to the bed, and tapped him on the back with his free hand.
That did it, there was an annoyed groan, and Mickey turned his head, so Ian could now see his dirt-smudged face, but didn’t open his eyes, only muttering a tired, “No.” This was different to what had happened before, but Ian still wasn’t sure if this was his Mickey or teenage Mickey.
“Wake up.” Ian tried again, this time giving his shoulder a shake.
“Fucks sake, Ian, it’s the weekend....I wanna sleep in.” Mickey mumbled, sleepily. Still, he didn’t open his eyes, just reached out a hand, and when he didn’t feel anything but an empty space, he continued, “Come back to bed.”
It seemed like Mickey thought Ian should be in bed with him, and relief flooded through Ian. This was his Mickey! Now he just needed to actually wake the fuck up.
Feeling more confident, he sat down on the bed next to Mickey, dropped the tire iron on the floor, and ran a hand down his back. “Mick. Open your eyes. But don’t freak out.”
“What am I gonna freak -” And then he was speechless. His eyes were finally open and he looked at Ian in shock. “What the fuck?”
“I know.”
Mickey’s eyes darted around the room, back to Ian, down at himself, and then settled on Ian. He reached a hand out to touch Ian’s face softly, running his fingers over the freckles. “Fuck. What’s going on? How...”
“I don’t know?! I was in the kitchen, I was going to make coffee, and then suddenly I was here and shit, I thought I was dreaming, or hallucinating, but this is all so real. So it must be real?” The words tumbled out and Ian was so glad that he wasn’t going to have to deal with this alone.
“I don’t....the last thing I remember was going to bed with you.” Mickey sat up, and swung his legs around to sit close to Ian. “This is fucked up. It’s fucking impossible.” He ran a hand down his face, before turning to stare at Ian again in disbelief. And Ian couldn’t help but do the same back - he still couldn’t believe his eyes.
“What are we going to do?” Ian broke the silence, they couldn’t sit here staring at each other all day.
“Shit. I don’t fucking know.” Mickey frowned for a moment, as if considering something and then pinched Ian on the arm.
“Ow! What was that for?”
“In case it’s a dream.”
“You’re supposed to pinch yourself.” Ian grumbled, as he pinched Mickey on the arm. “There. Feel real?”
“Hardly felt that, but yeah.” He looked around his room. “So, I guess we’re in the past. That means -”
Mickey didn’t have time to finish his sentence because the door opened and a ghost entered. Or rather, not a ghost, someone who was very much alive. Terry. Mickey instantly tensed up, his hands balling into fists. Terry made his way into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. Ian didn’t think, he just pulled Mickey close, hugging him tight.
“Fuck. Shit.” Mickey let out a shuddering breath. “Ian, we can’t.” He moved away reluctantly. Ian felt his heart clench but nodded, shifting away to the end of the bed. Of course they couldn’t hug, not here, not now. Fuck. Ian wanted to punch the wall. Mickey pinched the bridge of his nose, “I can’t fucking be here, man.” He jumped up and threw on some more clothes and some shoes.
Terry stumbled back out of the bathroom, and Mickey froze, his eyes wide, still unbelieving of what he was seeing. He kept staring at the door after Terry left. It was surreal seeing Terry alive, walking around like normal. And if Ian thought it was surreal, he couldn’t imagine what Mickey was thinking. Or rather, he probably could guess. His mind drifted to thoughts of Monica - she was alive here, what would it be like to see her again? Would he felt strange? Horrified? Upset? And Frank....shit, Frank had only just died, but right now, he was alive.
He pushed the thoughts away, they needed to leave. This was all too confusing. Mickey had only just finally come to terms with Terry’s death and this....this fucked up situation was only going to cause him pain. And Ian was still going through some pretty strange and surprisingly upsetting emotions about Frank’s death, it was all still so raw. Neither of them needed to be confronted by their dead fathers (did anyone ever?), especially not so close to said fathers deaths. The room felt too small, too hot, Ian knew they needed to leave. It was impossible to think here.
“Let’s get out of here.” Ian tugged on Mickey’s hand, squeezing it gently, before dropping it.
“Where?” Mickey questioned, shrugging on a coat.
“One of the abandoned buildings? At least then we know we’ll be alone. And we can try and figure out what we’re going to do.”
Mickey gave a whispered “yeah” and flung open his bedroom door, hurrying towards the front of the house, causing Ian to jog behind him to catch up. He was about to reach him when Mandy appeared. Ian’s stomach did a pleasant flip when he saw her - he’d missed her so much and here she was, looking exactly the same as he remembered. He fought the urge to hug her tightly.
“Ian? Are you ok?” Her eyes searched his face curiously, like she could tell something was wrong. But that was stupid, Ian thought, even if she could, she would never guess it was that Ian and Mickey had somehow time travelled from the present back to the future.
“Uh...yeah. I just...” He couldn’t help it - he glanced at Mickey who had paused by the front door, looking over his shoulder at Ian. “I gotta go home.”
“Ok. But-”
“Everything’s fine, Mandy. I’ll see ya.” He could hear the tremble in his voice and he could tell from the slight frown on her face that she was concerned. She looked back and forth between Ian and Mickey, her eyes narrowing and noticing Mickey’s hand on the door. “Where are you going, shithead?”
“Out.” And with that, Mickey practically flung himself through the doorway and made his way onto the sidewalk. Ian waved a hand in Mandy’s direction, wishing he could explain to her but knowing he couldn’t, and headed out, shutting the door behind him. He felt guilty brushing her off, but Mickey was his priority.
“Mick.” He called out as he caught up. He bumped his shoulder against Mickey’s and they began to make their way to one of the more isolated abandoned buildings, both knowing which one they should go to. They walked in silence, both of them struggling to make sense of where, and when, they found themselves. So, it was no surprise that neither of them noticed the figure that followed them.
——
Ian watched Mickey as he climbed the old, battered stairs in front of him, he could see the heavy tension in his shoulders. It was familiar but not something he had seen in awhile. Mickey was relaxed and happy, most of the time, they were finally settling into the West Side and things were good - safe and stable - and their days were filled with kisses and laughter, they just were enjoying being together. But, now, they had been thrown backwards to a time when things were dangerous and unstable and complicated.
There was a splintered door, which Mickey kicked open with his foot. He sighed heavily and Ian grasped his hand, leading him towards one of the walls. They sunk down onto the floor, backs against the cold brick. Ian moved to cuddle Mickey close, but it was awkward. He was used to being able to hold Mickey easily, but here, now, as they were a similar height, it was different. He had never had the luxury of being able to hug or be close to Mickey like this back then, so he wasn’t used to trying to hold him like this. Eventually, with some fumbling, they managed to find a good angle. Mickey slumped down a bit, and Ian put his arm around Mickey’s shoulders, they were pressed close, and Mickey threw one leg over Ian’s, and rested his head close to Ian’s neck.
“This isn’t fucking fair.” Mickey whispered. “What the fuck is this shit and why is it happening to us?”
“I’m scared.” Ian replied, using his free hand to grab one of Mickey’s. “What if we’re stuck here?”
“Your meds.” Mickey squeezed Ian’s hand. “What are we going to do about your meds?”
“I don’t....” Ian faltered. He hadn’t even considered that. What was he going to do? He hadn’t been diagnosed back then, now, so what did that mean in terms of his illness? The fear that had been bubbling under the surface suddenly began to overflow. What the fuck was he going to do? “I don’t know. Shit. Mick. I don’t-”
“We’ll figure it out.” Mickey put his free hand on top of his and Ian’s clasped ones. Ian wanted to believe Mickey but he didn’t feel convinced, and as confident as Mickey sounded, Ian could hear the worry.
“Ok. Yeah. We’ll figure it out. But, what are we going to do, like right now? We can’t stay here tonight.”
“I can’t go back there. I can’t see-”
“I know. I know. We’ll stay at my house.” Ian cut him off before he could say his father’s name. It felt strange saying that - my house - because it wasn’t, not anymore. His house, his home, was the apartment he shared with Mickey.
“And how the fuck do we explain that? And what about Frank? You gonna be able to deal with seeing him again?”
“Don’t care.” He heard Mickey snort. “I don’t care Mick, you’re my fucking husband, and I love you and we need to-”
“Holy fucking shit! What the hell is this?” A shocked voice cut through the air, startling both of them.
Ian and Mickey jerked their heads up at the same time to see Mandy standing in the doorway, a look of complete and utter disbelief on her face. They had been so wrapped up in their problem, that they hadn’t noticed her following them or heard her making her way up the steps of the building. They slowly disentangled from each other in a way that Ian noted would not have happened in their teenage years. Mickey would have shoved Ian off back then, but now, he was so used to not hiding or feeling afraid that he didn’t. As much as Ian would like to focus on the growth Mickey was showing, he knew he couldn’t. Because right now, the stakes were too high.
Ian’s heart pounded, he knew they needed to say something. He could trust Mandy. He had done so before. But fuck, there was so much more he knew in hindsight. So many more terrible, violent things that he knew he could not let any of them go through again.
Which is why he blurted out the first thing he thought of, “It’s cold. We were cold, so we were just warming up.”
Ian didn’t need to look at Mickey to know he was probably rolling his eyes.
“Cold?” Mandy folded her arms and leaned against the wall. “Thank fuck I’m not a cop Ian because you would not last-”
“What the fuck are you doing here? You follow us?” Mickey interrupted. “Go away.”
“No. Not until you tell me what’s going on.” Mandy pushed off the wall and walked to towards them. “Ian, what’s going on? I thought you and Kash-”
“Fuck him.”
“Shut up, Mickey. I’m talking to Ian.”
“Mandy, please. This isn’t what it.....can you just forget you came here? Please? And please don’t say anything. To anyone.” Ian pleaded. He needed her to go. He loved her, and he loved seeing her again, but fuck, this was not the time. He couldn’t think with her here. All he kept thinking of was when Terry found him and Mickey - that horrible morning that always made his stomach churn when he thought about it. He didn’t think Mandy would tell. But in that moment it felt like it was too much - someone else knowing - he just couldn’t handle it right now. He just wanted to be with Mickey. “I’m begging you, Mandy. Please.”
Mandy bit her lip, in the same way Ian had seen Mickey do a thousand times. She looked back and forth between them, uneasy and suspicious, Ian realised he had tears in his eyes and he could see the exact moment Mandy noticed. “Fine. But you owe me an explanation Ian. And so do you Mickey.”
“Yes.” Ian breathed in relief. And he watched her turn on her heel and leave. They stood in silence until they were sure she was gone.
“So, what now?” Mickey pulled Ian close, his arms winding around his waist.
“Maybe if we fall asleep, we’ll wake up back home?” Ian hoped more than anything that would be true.
“Thought you were awake when you came here. Back? Now? Whatever.”
“I was but....who the fuck knows right? It’s worth a try.”
“Yeah. Maybe. But we can’t sleep here.”

JC love month 2020
Day 26-Domesticity
Tumblr media
Slowly opening his eyes, the sunlight sneaking between the curtains, rolled a bit on the bed getting tangled up in the sheets and then he stretched. Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and then he finally got up, lazily making his way to the kitchen from where a delicious sweet smell came from, he put his hands around his boyfriend waist and stick to his body, still feeling sleepy
—Good Morning— Wanyin greeted after a yawn escaped from his mouth
—Mn Morning— Wangji saluted back continuing his job of making pancakes
It wasn’t until Lan Zhan finished the pancakes that Wanyin finally started to move but refusing to release him from his embrace. Once he settled the table, Wangji mildly removed his boyfriend’s hands and guided him to sit in his chair before going to his.
They eat in silence, the Lan out of an old habit and the Jiang still trying to not fall asleep. After the breakfast ended, Wanyin felt more energized, his intense coffee made his job, he definitely wasn’t a morning person but today he was way tired than usual. Yesterday he made his brother a favor and took care of A-Yuan while Wuxian made a quick trip for the day due to his job. It wouldn’t have been a problem since the kid, unlike his father, knew how to behave, the problem was when his brother-in-law asked him to take care of the living tornado he had as a son, Lan Jingyi, since he was coming home late from the hospital and the babysitter wasn’t able to go. He loved them so much, he really did, but sometimes it was so hard to accomplish the task of making the little Lan boy to stay calm, and even if the other looked calmer, he still got some things from his father and with such an energetic and chaotic kid as Lan Jingyi, well, lets say it wasn´t the best combination.
He was currently working from his place since his office was being remodeled, his boyfriend was working at the hospital with his brother, so he wasn’t home to help him with the kids, but it was fine, Jiang Cheng was an expert at doing various things at once, so he worked while taking care of the seven and six year olds, even tho he succeeded, he ended up dead, he had to stay up until like 2 a.m.  finishing his presentation for the next week meeting, both parents and his boyfriend arrived really late too.
Lan Zhan knew how tired and stressed Wanyin was so he wanted to make sure that his significant other had a nice and relaxing day off. He prepared a delicious breakfast and a warm bubble bath, and for the afternoon he prepared some murder and mystery movies he knew Cheng liked or wanted to see.
They were near the climax of the movie when Jiang Cheng’s phone started to ring, it was his Shijie
—A-Jie, how are you?—
—Hello A-Cheng, sorry to bother you but I wanted to ask you a favor—
—No worries Jie. What can I help you with?—  
  —Well today’s my anniversary with A-Xuan but the person that was supposed to take care of A-Ling is sick and wouldn’t be able to come— Yanli’s voice sounded a bit embarrassed, she knew her brother would gladly do it, after all, he really loved and adored his nephew, but she still felt bad for bothering him and his brother-in-law in their free day —a-niang and a-die are outside the country and Zixuan told me his parents were really busy— ‘and honestly I don’t want to leave my little peony with them’ she wanted to add, ‘Yeah... of course, busy’ Jiang Cheng was about to discuss —So I wanted to ask if you could take care of him?—
—No problem A-Jie. When are you going to be here?—
—Like in half an hour if you don’t mind—
—At all, see you then A-Jie—
—See you ChengCheng, and thanks again— she said before hanging up
—Hey babe, A-Jie and Zixuan will come along to leave A-Ling here— the younger man said even if he knew Lan Zhan deduced it already
—Mn— he said, then a small and almost imperceptible smirk appeared on his face before saying playfully  —ChengCheng—
Wanyin abruptly turned his head to face his lover at the embarrassing nickname that his siblings used, checks and neck of a beautiful scarlet  —Shut up!— it was all Wei Ying´s fault for “inventing” that dumb sobriquet, Wanyin blamed him for his shame
Yanli and her family arrived at 6 p.m. both adults wearing fancy clothes and a five years old holding her mother’s hand, when the little boy saw his uncle his eyes shined in mirth and he ran up to him
—JiuJiu— the named opened his arms to catch his nephew in time
—A-Ling, I´ve missed you so much— Jiang Cheng hugged him softly
—But JiuJiu we saw each other last week— the boy complained
The latter put a funny indignant face before exclaiming  —That a lot of time for this old man!— drama was Wanyin’s second name, the only one capable of wining him for the most dramatic person wasn’t his brother, unlike everyone though, but it was his boyfriend
—But JiuJiu is not old!—
—Well, I see you guys will have a good time, so we’ll be leaving now— Yanli spoke amused by the uncle-nephew interaction —Thank you again, A-Cheng—
 —No problem A-Jie, have fun you two— he got close to the couple to allow Jin Ling to say good bye to his parents  —Treat her good— Wanyin whispered when he got close to Jin Zixuan, the latter only nodded before putting an arm in his wife’s waist and walking off
—And then the teacher said we’ll be doing the work in pairs— Jin Ling was now sited on Jiang Cheng’s lap, telling him about the solar system mockup after his JiuJiu asked him how he was doing in school
—Really? And you did yours with.... let me guess—
—With Zizhen!— the boy said merrily, remembering his best friend —He went to my house and we had a sleepover!—
—I knew it— Wanyin whispered to himself  —How did it go?—
—You would have seen it JiuJiu, it looked really cool! the teacher said it was the best of all of them and gave us a golden star!— he let out a snicker at the cute sight of a five old Jin Ling with a proud and joyful expression ‘he remembers me of his father’, he patted softly his head
—Good job A-Ling— the toddler eyes sparkled like stars and a contagious cute big smile appeared in his face making his uncle grin too, he really loved his little nephew
In the kitchen Lan Zhan was preparing more popcorns, they had to change the movies genre to something more suitable for Ling’s age and now they were watching ‘Moana’, he didn’t care tho, none of them would say it out loud but it was one of his and Wanyin’s favorite movies. When he finished, he took the tray with snacks, two teas and a chocolate milk for the child, leaving it on the living table, he took a seat next to his boyfriend, putting his right arm across his shoulders puling him close, Jiang Cheng accommodated the blanket to cover the boy on top of him and his boyfriend correctly.
The movie started, the hot tea in his hands and the familiar ambient making him feel relaxed, it was so quiet and calm, this was the best free day he could have asked for, when his eyes started to close by their own he placed the cup back in the table to make sure he won´t spill anything by accident. It was in half of the movie when the youngest of them all started to bop his head, falling in Morphea’s arms too.
Lan Zhan gently placed his Cheng’s head in his lap, giving him a small peek in his forehead, carefully to make sure neither of them would wake up, he grabbed A-Ling and lay him down in his left side, putting his head on top of him too, then grabbed another blanket to coat the child and finally lifted Wanyin’s legs to the couch.
He smiled in that way where his eyes shined and his aura betrayed how happy he was (or well not as much but close, because nothing would describe how much happiness and joy he felt), each hand placed in one head massaging them with delicately patience and love, he didn’t asked for anything more than this, it was perfect, his heart beat with glee. Being with his loved ones, his family, it was the best gift he could receive and this was definitely his best free day and one of his favorites in general, he didn’t used to sleep at this hour but the tired of not sleeping at time and the warmth of the place plus the relaxed faces of the people on his lap, sleeping so comfortable, seeming so relaxed and tiny (they looked so cute Lan Zhan thought, his ears now red for his own shameless) made him want to rest too, so he closed his eyes and his breath quickly became softer and slower, the movie ended at the same time Lan Zhan fell asleep.
Yes, it was the best day off they could have asked for.

tagged by @rebecca-noona​ and @n8dlesoupguk​ HHH HI YOU TWO SORRY I TOOK SO LONG >////< I wanted to make my own post so I wouldn’t clog dashboards hehe but here are becca’s recs and bar’s recs honestly I really needed this because I was in a pretty down mood so I’ll try and hype myself up some! you sent this at the perfect time becca and bar thank you xoxo
𝟷. 𝙳𝚊𝚏𝚏𝚘𝚍𝚒𝚕 (𝚋𝚊𝚗𝚐 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚡 𝚏𝚎𝚖!𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚛, 𝚎𝚡𝚎𝚜-𝚝𝚘-𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚜)
I think it goes without saying but this project was my first baby and it’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever written. It started as self-indulgent practice for writing and when I posted it, it turned into my most popular fic and it received so much love that I was rendered speechless. 🤧✨ Uhhh this is about hyping your self up so.......... I think I did a really good job setting up the world and plot of this fic oh and the characters. I really enjoyed writing them and the romance between the characters. I liked showing a romance that wasn’t rainbows and perfect loves, this love was messy and broken and instead of fixing it, I wanted to show that it could be shaped into something new something better for the two people involved. I liked showing a more raw side of love that I think exists. Anyways I love Daffodil so it had to be the first thing I put on here.
𝟸. 𝚁𝚎𝚖𝚎𝚍𝚢 (𝚔𝚒𝚖 𝚜𝚎𝚞𝚗𝚐𝚖𝚒𝚗 𝚡 𝚏𝚎𝚖!𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚛, 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚌𝚑!𝚊𝚞)
This is one of my favorite entries of The Lost Luna. I enjoyed creating a world of magic and wonder. I love this story that I made because it made me close my eyes and picture myself within this magical world, the magic market, people that look like us and people that definitely don’t. It was just so easy to imagine this world and picture it clearly in my mind, it was so fun and it’s a perfect example of my love for worldbuilding a fantasy story. 
𝟹. 𝟹:𝟶𝟷𝚙𝚖 (𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚎𝚏!𝚋𝚊𝚗𝚐 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚡 𝚙𝚛𝚒𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚜𝚜!𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚛)
This one is probably not what you expected but I really love this one. It’s short yeah, but the reason I love it so much on top of it just being so cute, is cause it just literally popped into my head and I posted it on the same day. Like I was so sure of it and so ready to post it (although it did end up getting edited) I love how writing it made me feel. <3 I loved that I was so inspired and so happy that I just wanted to write the idea and get it out as soon as possible. 
𝟺. 𝚁𝚒𝚜𝚎 𝙰𝚐𝚊𝚒𝚗 (𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚓𝚒𝚜𝚞𝚗𝚐 𝚡 𝚏𝚎𝚖!𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚛, 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚌𝚑!𝚊𝚞)
Another Lost Luna story hehe I really love this one, again because of the lore I built up. I think the tension was pretty good albeit it was short, I liked the whole concept I created with witch hunters and the thought of them reviving witch burnings. Plus the possible romance, and the characters that I made. I really wanna rep the whole series tbh check out The Lost Luna, my ot8 witch!skz series (shameless plug) 
𝟻. 𝙱𝚛𝚘𝚔𝚎𝚗 𝙲���𝚖𝚙𝚊𝚜𝚜 (𝚖𝚊𝚍 𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐!𝚋𝚊𝚗𝚐 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚡 𝚏𝚎𝚖!𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚛)
Although I haven’t TECHNICALLY posted any of it, Broken Compass is one of my favorite things I’ve ever written. As I work on it, and create the world, the characters, the plot, everything, I fall more in love with it. It reminds me that I can totally and utterly fall for what I do, I love when you can fall in love with your own works/ideas, so this has to be one of the biggest passion projects I’ve ever done in my life and I’m happy it is. This world is amazing and I hope I can convey the depth and love I have for it.
𝟼. 𝙻𝚒𝚎 𝚃𝚘 𝙼𝚎 (𝚋𝚊𝚗𝚐 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚡 𝚏𝚎𝚖!𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚛, 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚌𝚑!𝚊𝚞)
I had to add one more because this has been some of the most fun I’ve had writing. Even when I’ve had small blocks with it, creating all these different characters and different pieces of lore made the process so much fun, blocks and all. I loved painting all the different scenes, and even getting a little carried away with the descriptions of things lol It was just so much fun to take the time to work things out, it helped me learn that not everything comes very quickly, sometimes these kinds of things take time, and it’s not something you have to be pissed about or frustrated with. Just give it time, maybe step back from it, and you’ll get back in the zone with it. That’s what this story taught me ^^
Tumblr media
huh, it is interesting to actually write down and note what I love about my works, maybe I’ll do this again sometime!! check all of these works out btw >v<b I think I did a pretty good job pats my own back 💜✨
I’m tagging @skzctnightnight​ and I think most of the ppl I wanna tag have already done it soooo LOL I tag anyone who wants to do this!! you deserve to pat yourself on the back and rep your stuff!!

loooong shameless rant ahead:
i have seen a LOT of debate on twitter regarding if shameless is homophobic for the way they have treated gallavich this season (btw i dont have twitter i just stalk the gallavich mentions lmfao) some people are saying shameless is homophobic, and some people are arguing saying they aren’t because gallavich is indeed getting their fair share of screentime.
however, it really shouldn’t even be argued with. people are pissed because of the way gallavich has been pushed to the side in favor of useless, offensive, meaningless storylines this season. and it’s not unnoticeable. not only have most of their scenes probably been cut in half, but whole scenes have been taken out of episodes, AND they both weren’t featured AT ALL in two episodes. mickey, however, was left out of THREE. have they done this with any other characters? no.
and ultimately homophobia and discrimination is a big issue. but putting that aside for a second, leaving gallavich out of episodes and cutting their scenes is just... not good for the show. it’s not good for the overall quality of the episodes and the characters’ development and their story. when they’re cutting whole scenes and even just small parts out of the scenes, they’re giving us the BARE MINIMUM. which makes everything feel cheap and surface-level and forced and fanservice-y. like, “yeah let’s show gallavich getting engaged but leave out the parts that show how in love they truly are. let’s just cut a kiss to two seconds that was actually supposed to parallel one of their BIGGEST MOMENTS from their ten year long story. yeah that sounds good. it should be enough.” like, no. it’s not enough. they KNOW how much ian and mickey mean to the fans. they KNEW the stakes and the expectations were high. they knew.
another point. cameron and noel have contributed so much to these characters and the relationship. there have been so many improvised moments from them because they CARE about the characters and WANT to add more to their story. and for the editors, producers, directors, whoever to cut the moments they add to the scenes is fucking rude and disrespectful to cam and noel’s dedication to these characters. literally, we never would have had the ENDGAME PRISON KISS, a moment that quickly became one of the most iconic gallavich moments, if it wasn’t for cam and noel. like, that wasn’t even in the script. again, because for whatever reason, the makers of shameless want to give us the BARE MINIMUM when it comes to gallavich.
if it’s not homophobia, then what the fuck is it? is it resentment towards the fans? is it laziness? is it purposefully wanting to lower the quality of the show? based on what we have heard from extras and people on set, they had the material to give us. but then they leave it out. why is that?
and this is not something only diehard people in the online fandom can notice. even my mom and my brother, who are casual watchers, or “locals”, have noticed the lack of screen time. when the gallavich kisses are cut off, my mom goes “that’s it? seriously?” EVEN PEOPLE WHO DON’T GO ON GALLAVICH TWITTER OR TUMBLR NOTICE IT. this is not something people are pulling out of their asses just to complain. it is in plain sight. when they cut ian and mickey out of multiple episodes and scenes in favor of storylines about a clogged toilet, garbage men, and someone WISHING THEY HAD BEEN RAPED JUST TO GET MONEY FROM SUING THE RAPIST... i’m sorry, but what is that, if not blatant homophobia?
so, no, people are not gonna stop complaining just because you feel that they aren’t being homophobic. just because you say “hey, they brought them back after all!!! be happy and grateful!!!” people will not change their minds on this. why should we be happy and grateful that a ten year long, beautiful, iconic, fan favorite GAY love story (that is bringing the show ratings and the most attention in articles and on social media) is being underutilized, underappreciated, and trashed by its creators? fuck that. gallavich deserves better. cam and noel deserve better. we. deserve. better.

BECAUSE I’M NOT POPULAR, I’LL READ WATAMOTE: CHAPTER #159
Another day, another chapter of Watamote to fill that hole in your heart.
The suspension arc continues on, and in what seems to be a reflection of characters’ emotions, it’s a slower chapter that on the surface, doesn’t offer much in terms of “progression”. Thankfully, my overly analytical mind is here to pick up all the delightful subtleties of our cast, and pick apart the unexpected, but welcome direction this series has set itself up to move towards. All aboard the Tomoko Train! 
Chapter 159: Because I’m Not Popular, I’ll Still Be Suspended
Tumblr media
Yeah, that figures. Suspension becomes a lot less stressful when you realize you’re too bored to be stressed. 
Not much else to say other than the lighting in this shot is absolutely gorgeous, ya’ll.
Tumblr media
Sorry...I was distracted by Yoshida wearing a tie. By all accounts, it should not look as good on her as it does. Too bad we only get it for like 1 1/2 panels, but I’ll take what I can get.
Tumblr media
♪ Wooooah, we’re halfway there! 
WOAH! Livin’ on a prayer! ♫
Tumblr media
Just some more scenery porn courtesy of Niko. Her work has really come a long way.
Tumblr media
I sure do love these unexpected pairings that get thrown our way from time to time. They may not be the matchups we wanted, but they’re sure as hell the ones we’ll undoubtedly love.
Tumblr media
Tomoko at it again with the sick comebacks.
It may just be out of respect to her friend Komiyama, but I’d like to think that Itou secretly(?) would like to see Komi and Tomoko become closer. A true (friend)shipper on deck.
Tumblr media
Ah, Itou. If nothing else, your friendship with Komiyama is the real deal if you can admit to all her lunacy.
I can’t help but love how Komiyama’s whole identity is 80% related to her glasses. No surprise since its a given fact that all meganekko girls are either super pure, or super perverted, and Komi has the distinct honor of being both.  
Tumblr media
Good luck, Itou! Just play the Lottes theme song and you're guaranteed to bring at least one person to tears.
Tumblr media
I wasn’t sure if Tomoko fully cleared up the whole “Tomoki is my brother” thing in the groping chapter, but the implication here is that Yoshida still doesn’t know. This is building up to what will surely be a hilarious revelation.
Guess we don’t have to worry about adding Itou into the Tomokibowl, huh? That would’ve been such a trainwreck. Makes you wonder who’s Itou’s type though...
Tumblr media
As in, “Are you doing well?” or “Well, how are you?”. C’mon, Yuri, you gotta dial down the tsundere-ness and give your favorite idiot a little more context than that. 
Tumblr media
Damn, Nemo was right on the money, wasn’t she? Even over LINE, she’s not afraid to play dirty.
Btw, I love how Tomoko’s expression doesn’t change at all while looking through the messages. Like her face is frozen from processing so many slaps in the face at once. 
Tumblr media
I think this is the first Tomoko has been genuinely unnerved by Katou’s (s)mothering. Getting spoiled is a hot fantasy the first couple times, Tomoko. But once it starts bleeding into your everyday life, that’s when it starts getting a little creepy.
Tumblr media
Let’s be honest. We all know who this is, right? 
Tumblr media
Side note: How did she get Tomoko’s LINE number?
Tumblr media
I wanna say it’s another Mako case where Okada sent her a message because of Nemo’s influence. Poor girl is falling down the rabbit hole.
Oooooh, Katou’s getting special treatment. In her defense, I don’t think it’s necessarily that Tomoko likes her best or anything. For one, Katou the only one whose message was fairly normal. But also, it’s easy to send a quick reply to someone you’re not as close with. Logically speaking, Tomoko would likely prefer to send more detailed responses to Yuri and Nemo because she’s closer to them. And she’ll probably ignore Ucchi entirely. 
Of course, logic has no place between girls fighting for dominance.
Tumblr media
The first time we get to see Katou’s inner thoughts and...it’s nothing special.
I wasn’t expecting to see a monologue of deep-rooted insecurities or anything. That’s not this series’ thing. If anything, that mundaneness works to Katou’s advantage because it shows that while she may be incredibly attractive on the outside, she’s just a regular person with simple concerns on the inside. If they’re really going to take Katou’s affection on Tomoko into romantic territory, it’s a good place to start.
Tumblr media
The Cuck Sisters have graduated into the Ghosted Sisters.
Tumblr media
I’m sure Katou isn’t trying to arrogant about being the only one to get a reply. I mean, anyone would have a bit of an ego boost from that. 
But I’m sorry, Katou. There’s just one small thing you have to realize...
Tumblr media
...finding out that your girl was out seeing other people is the initiation for entering the Tomoko harem.
Tumblr media
Poor Itou. Girl was just minding her own business and now she finds herself in the middle of the moshpit. 
On that note, I absolutely love the composition of this panel. Even though the line of sight is directed at Itou, Katou’s stance draws in your full attention. Even more amazing is how having these six specific people in the frame adds to the overall intensity. We having Tomoko’s old friends, new friends, and acquaintances all together for the same discussion, and it really emphasizes just how much Tomoko’s influence has affected the whole classroom dynamic.
Tumblr media
Small tidbit, but I appreciate that Yuri asked about Yoshida, too. Those two haven’t had many scenes alone together lately since the pachinko parlor moment, and it would sure be nice to more of their relationship outside of Tomoko. 
Tumblr media
Ucchi’s teleportation powers always gets a good laugh out of me. I also like how the very first thing she asks is if Tomoko’s creepy, like she needs that confirmation to validate even being there. Girl needs to start coming up with better excuses.
Having Ucchi and Futaki in the same panel always feels so unreal to me. I feel like if the two of them starting talking to each other, the universe would implode upon itself.

Ucchi:

I like the direction they took this. It would have been very easy for Komiyama to pretend she doesn’t care a la tsunderism. But nope. Komiyama only has a mild interest in how Tomoko’s doing, letting Yuu act as a proxy for them. Even if Tomoko and Komiyama don’t care much about each other, their history belies this odd level of intimacy.
Tumblr media
Alright, alright, you got me Nico Tanigawa.
...Poor Minami. 
Tumblr media
I think its a merit to the mangaka’s storytelling skills that we can easily infer that Mako’s talking about Yoshida. Between Mako being who she is, Yoshida being who she is, and their growing friendship gaining attention, who else could it be?
Tumblr media
That’s...kind of sad, honestly. We’ve seen several times just how clingy Minami is to her (one-sided) friendships, but never have we seen her sound so dependent on others. It’s been hinted at before, but being a bitch is the one thing Minami’s good at, and she might actually know that. She may act stuck-up on the outside, but the fact that’s she’s so upfront about it may actually mask a bit of an inferiority complex.  
Curse you, Nico Tanigawa, for making Minami a three-dimensional character with legitimate wants and fears.
Tumblr media
I’m glad Mako isn’t mentioning her by name. She knows Minami enough that outting her friend will lead to harm.
On Minami.
Tumblr media
Tomoko’s triangle mouth is unironically cute. There, I said it.
Tumblr media
Character development for Yoshida, whaaaaaat?
Tumblr media
Let’s face it. The trio of Tomoko, Yuri, and Yoshida are all slackers in some way, shape, or form. It makes sense that Yoshida would be the last of them to put any real effort into her future. Since she isn’t the type to make personal changes just because someone told her to, the reasonable way to make Yoshida understand is through observance. As thick-headed as she is, Miss Yoshida is not about to be left in the lurch while her buddies move on without her.
Tumblr media
Between this and my recent watching of Aggretsuko S2 (shameless plug!), it’s become apparent to me that getting a driver’s license isn’t as “mandatory” there as it is in my country. I’d imagine it has to do with the work environment there being so focused on public transit, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
Tumblr media
Tomoko actually makes a solid point there, though I get the feeling she’s imagining Yoshida driving getaway cars for the yakuza or something. 
Tumblr media
Or, you know, her chauffeur. 
Ignoring the somewhat obvious advertisement for a vehicle that I’m sure was blacked out in the original version, this is totally setting itself up for the next arc of Watamote. As summer vacation gets closer and closer, I was wondering just how Tomoko was going to spend it. She obviously can’t stay at home the whole time like she did in the past, so I was thinking she’d end up doing things with her friends like working part-time jobs, going to a festival, or in this case, a road trip.
Bring on the Road Trip Arc!
Tumblr media
Oh, I get it. Tomoko did the whole “min-na” thing that slice-of-life moe anime girls do when talking about their friends, right? 
Traitor.
Tumblr media
I’m joking, of course, but only partially. It’s clear to us all that Tomoko feels like she’s betraying a part of herself for saying something so bubbly. It was a direction I had anticipated to some degree when Tomoko began making self-deprecating jokes about becoming a normie. It was always in that “haha, like that could ever happen” tone, but it was only a matter of time before Tomoko started to become the mask. It’s scary to think you might subconsciously be changing a core part of yourself, and that realization is something Tomoko will eventually have to come to terms with.
At least we get her most adorable, genuine blush ever thanks to this.
Tumblr media
Damn, expulsion for driving a vehicle? What’s with this school and it’s beef with having your own set of wheels?
Tumblr media
Ah, saving up for a car. The first glimpse into Tomoko’s (and everyone else’s) efforts at adulting. 
Tumblr media
To get the obvious out of the way, no I don’t think Mako and Yoshida are naked in this panel. While Nico Tanigawa have shown that they’re not above very mild levels of fanservice, I don’t think they’d resort to something this teasing.
Probably. 
Anyways, there isn’t anything necessarily wrong with Yoshida’s decision. Taking things slow is very much in line with her character. Sure, it’s kind of inconsiderate of Yoshida to flippantly go the other way after asking for help, and Mako’s frustration is understandable. But more importantly, it highlights Mako influence on Yoshida, and the Kyoto Group in general.
When it’s just Tomoko, Yuri, and Yoshida, they have a unique bond where they don’t really try to push each other out of their comfort zones. Yoshida especially, for being so damn stubborn. But when you add Mako into the mix, a.k.a. the “Mom Friend”, suddenly the level of morale and effort within the group rises. And as the most “normal” friend, Mako’s existence helps to keep their friendship from growing stagnant.
As the Suspension Arc continues, the lack of “action” gives the cast some room for a little introspection. The gags themselves may have been on the limited side, but a lot of these set-up chapters usually are. The future is near, folks, and there are no signs of slowing down, for the characters or the series itself. Changes are over the horizon, but for now, the journey continues.

Hey! Your art is amazing! I wanted to asl if you could recommend a few blogs still active that ppst priginal yugioh stuff! Yugioh has been my life and obsession for more than ten years, and recently I fiscovered that there are still people involved in it here on tumblr...but it's hard to understand if a blog is still active or dead... I'd really like to draw fanart too... I started to draw because of yugioh! XD sorry for the long message, and it's fine if you can't :) still, you art is amazing!
Thank you so much!!! >w(and add your own fan art to the pile yesss…join us…I’ll be watching…)! That said, I mostly follow art blogs and I ship my ships very hard, so if you’re looking for more general blogs I’m afraid I’m not the person to ask for recs ;;w;;
However, I am aware of a few master/rec posts for ygo blogs or fics floating around that others spent a lot of time and effort putting together, I’m sure you’ll have more luck looking up specific keywords in these people’s blogs: @officialgrandpa @hiramiyugioh @riyuyami @deadboysduelbetter, they are pmuch my one stop source for ygo stuff and I found a lot of things to read and people to follow from them (Also I see you’ve found the blog of one of my favorite ygo fanfic authors…haha…*fangirls internally* u///w//u)
Oookay now onto some of the more art heavy blogs!
(BTW a lot of Japanese artists are way more active on twitter, you can find a ton of amazing people there! Some of them started Tumblr a while ago, but they don’t post as frequently/use it more as an art log)
Many of these blogs are pretty shippy and some of them have nsfw stuff but I’m…too lazy to organize them all I’m sorry ;w; Apologies in advance if you stumble upon ships or contents you don’t like ;;w;; @kuriiiiiiiiiii @anri-273 @404ama @saepen2 @lesssend @jujuoh @komesouko @ochibrochi @inakunaru-yagi @mrn0093 @ellenchain @stormzart @yuthie00 @diru56
These blogs have a lot of ygo art even though they aren’t really ygo-centric (or they used to be but aren’t anymore) @denimecho @pharaohsparklefists  @sergle @mooguriklaine-art 
Aaaand these blogs haven’t updated in ages, but I have their urls memorized by heart and check them from time to time to see if they posted anything new because that’s how much I like their stuff ;w; @verschvvinden @khjdraw @yugi-eh
Last but not least…shameless self promotion of sorts but…@ygobigbang!!! Posting time for this years’ fics is in a month so definitely keep an eye out for fic writers and artists still in the fandom (nope…not stressed out about the deadline at all nnnnnope)
Ack this ended up kinda long but hopefully it points you in the right direction for your ygo hunt ^ ^
