i Love spamton x readers where spamtons in like. an unconventional form, like hes a virus in your computer or he gets isekaid into your world as a living doll
That being said: in the "spamton lives in your computer" stories, reader downloads him accidentally or out of pity but What If they were a youtuber who talked about computer worms and viruses and downloaded him On Purpose in a virtual machine to showcase him
they narrate everything he does while screen recording like "oh see, its trying to access my microphone now. this is why you have to be careful about what programs you run, im using a vm so it should be contained and cant get into my actual files" and spamtons like "wtf. wtf"
little desktop spamton contained in the virtual machine while reader makes videos on him bc they and their audience think hes neat. they compliment his complexity and how much hes seemingly able to do, not knowing hes a whole little guy in there and not just a random computer virus

littol inscryption hcs :)
while leshy kinda has shut-in vibes i feel like like hes actually more the type to Never be home!! if you wanna challenge him you have to go find him in the woods and hes like up in a tree taking regular pictures of all the animals he sees (inscrybing everything would not be good for the ecosystem)
follow up he likes to think outside.. got like a huge rock he chills on where he brainstorms stuff for his games.. the Thinking Rock
probably bathes in a river or waterfall tbh. he doesnt need soap the sheer force of the water is enough to cleanse him
the fact that p03 has a mechanic where bot cards can have beast forms implies he doesnt hate them :) he feels positively enough to add them to his cards at least!!
although he can display pretty much anything he wants on his monitor, it still takes him considerable effort to hide his expressions! accidentally showing his smile only to immediately switch back to neutral like "you didnt see that"
being good friends with him would obviously include lots of playful + affectionate bullying but also the occasional sappy moment where he will either respond equally as sappy and/or threaten to kill you bc hes overwhelmed with the kindness
grimora treats her ghouls very well and visiting her is always a delight! the type to not let you leave without giving you a gift of some kind, be it a nice meal or a new pack of cards
she always tells the ghosts and ghouls they died bc they have to know at some point, but she makes sure to be gentle about it and is ready for whatever reaction they may have
yknow what! i think shed think p03s technology is cool!! all the scrybes feel a little old fashioned but shes quite interested in the modern stuff even if she isnt used to it or doesnt really understand it, but she tries!
man idk whats up with magnificus. giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he was trying to do a sort of tough love approach with his students but in a weird twisted kinda way?? that or he was like "ah you idolize me? lol cringe [puts your head on a pike forever]"
he should have a wizard hat. i think he does have one somewhere but he got bullied into not wearing it
itd be really funny if his eyes see color differently so to him hes making these really gorgeous masterpieces but everyone else sees the colors normally and its just an awful awful mess. imagine if he sees things really bright and almost neon so everything he paints ends up being incredibly dull and slightly the wrong color

forever thinking about how hunter specifically said belos Found him. that he didnt think he would make it in the boiling isles bc of his lack of magic. the Implications guys,,, either belos didnt raise hunter from birth/creation Or grimwalkers can be made with false memories
cuz its like! that implies hunter had some kind of life before belos, whether it was real or a memory he implanted and i need to know what happened before belos, even if its just what hunter thinks happened

My #1 post of 2022
what if ingo and emmet had a shared pokemon version of instagram account for posting pictures they take of various trains and like. its not exactly Secret but theres nothing that really ties it to them bc its just about The Trains
but one day part of one of their shoes and like the edge of their coat is ever so slightly in frame and it goes viral bc this random little inconspicuous train fan account was actually run by the Subway Bosses of the Unova Battle Subway, 2 quite powerful and well known trainers in the region. and of course the internet would lose their minds over something like that
they wake up with like millions more followers and tons of comments like "I NEVER KNEW THIS ACCOUNT EXISTED??" and "thats. ingos shoe. he and emmet are the only people in the world who wear shoes like that"
ingos like "how did they all find out it was us??" and emmets reading the comments and says "ah, you were just barely in frame in this photo. thats how they identified us" and then they do nothing about it. they never speak about it publicly they just keep posting their train photos and ignoring dms

Trying this one more time and hopefully this will be visible if you search the tags. But long story short I’m trying to figure out how to post a fic(or a link to one) and have it be possible to search for it on tumblr.
Edit: ok so depending on whether you see this on mobile or on desk top this is gonna be a difficult thing to read so sorry about that but if anyone has any information that’ll help I’d appreciate it
Re-edit it disappeares from being searchable whenever I try to add the link so the whole thing should be readable below and maybe I’ll get it edited in as a link soon, the “read more” is still behaving weird too
A Secret Admirer
It’s not like she hadn’t considered approaching Adrien as Ladybug, she certainly felt more confident and then on top of that she could keep her confessions of her crush on him anonymous, or at least as anonymous as ‘Ladybug’ was but that’s where the problem lied. If she did go visiting him as Ladybug to tell him how she feels then that always left the risk of making him a target for Hawkmoth, she risked making Chat jealous, and she risked his dad’s whole overprotective security house getting turned in a cage for him if he disapproved of the risks she’d be putting him in… basically she’d gone over the idea enough times to catastrophize every scenario in her mind and unlike her civilian approach Alya couldn’t directly encourage her past a lot of them. As much as she tried to convince herself it was safe to just go over and get a confession out of her system she felt Ladybug’s status made it all too dangerous, that was however not a problem that was linked to a new identity she’d acquired. Multimouse was perfect, only Chat knew her identity and she was a relatively unknown hero so it wouldn’t attract much interest, and if she was worried about a noticeable blush she could just be too tiny for him to see. So that was her new plan, she could just pop on over and tell him how she felt and then maybe with that first step out of the way she could work towards telling him without a mask to hide behind and she could finally make some actual progress with him for once.
Tikki argued that it was basically the same thing as visiting as Ladybug and that she was misusing the miraculous but Mullo didn’t seem against the idea of a short time out just to get her to finally be able to talk to Adrien for a few minutes. So she decided to run with the impulse before her doubts could take over and headed out into the evening.
—-
Adrien wasn’t planning to patrol tonight, he’d let Plagg wander off and do his own thing while he checked the ladyblog between doing his homework, that was until he heard something going on by his window. He turned to look but couldn’t see Plagg, instead there looked to be four things about the size of his kwami moving around the frame of his window. He moved closer to find a group of Multimouse trying to swing his unlocked window open. He used the remote for the tall windows to crack open the one they were pulling at slightly only for one of them to gasp that they’d been noticed.
“Mu-Mouse person? Who are you? What are you guys doing here?” He asked, remembering he wasn’t supposed to who Multimouse was.
One stood straight up in the windowsill while the others climbed down and announced, “I am the superhero akumas fear, Multimouse!” Striking a little pose while doing so and jumping to the floor with the rest of herselves.
“Ok, Multimouse, what are you doing here? Is there an akuma?”
“Oh! Right!” She said almost gasping for air out of panic realizing she hadn’t planned this far ahead, but Adrien assumed she was just winded from traveling at that size. “I’m training with Ladybug at the moment… I just needed to stop here and-“
“-And catch your breath?” He ventured a guess when she paused for a moment too long.
“Well, that too” one of them blurted out, “but we had something else for why we stopped here specifically”. Three seemed to huddle around the main one and whisper into her ear before pushing her forward from the group, “Adrien Agreste,” she began to announce before looking back to the others for support. “I am using this brief chance as a superhero to do something I cannot do as my regular self.” Noticing that this piqued his interest in what she had to say she took a deep breath and continued, “I came here specifically, tonight, because I needed to tell you finally that…” one of the Multimouse nudged her “Oh! Sorry I’m rambling, what I need to tell you is that I- um , is that I really like you” she forced out, “and I know that you won’t be able to know who this confession is from or if it’s nothing more than a fan confession but I promise you this love is genuine and real and I just tried so many times in person and couldn’t get past the fear of rejection.” She noticed a growing look of shock before she continued, “I just had to finally get the words out, even if they were anonymous. I hope you’ll understand and I hope that one day I won’t need this mask to help me say it. So- um yeah, I’m gonna head out before Ladybug notices us missing, umm, bye?” She gave a small wave before hoisting herselves back up to the windowsill.
Before the last one could jump back outside Adrien snapped back to reality enough to call out to her, “Multimouse, wait” he watched to make sure she turned her head at least, “if you get the chance again you can probably stop to catch your breath and chat some more later, jumping around the city at that size probably takes a lot out of you.” She smiled at that and wordlessly nodded before jumping back outside. And now Adrien was back alone.
“Plagg, I think Marinette might like me.”
“Finally pieced that one together huh?” He replied appearing out of wherever he’d hidden from her.
As much as Adrien wanted to come up with a comeback for that remark he had a much bigger problem on his mind, because Marinette thought that her confession was anonymous and if he didn’t want her to know he was Chat Noir then he had to figure out how to hide from her that she’d dropped this bombshell on him. He had no idea how to face her at school now knowing what he did. He needed to clear his head. “Plagg, Claws Out!” He shouted as he took off into the night.
_________
As soon as she thought she was out of sight of the mansion she detransformed and transformed into Ladybug to get herself home, she hadn’t considered it before she headed out but navigating the world at that size was certainly a lot more taxing than her usual way of swinging about the city. She decided to find a chimney to lean against and rest before going all the way back, or at least she would’ve rested had a certain Cat not managed to find the exact spot she’d decided to sit down.
“I thought you weren’t going to be out tonight?” She asked.
“I didn’t plan to but, I thought I saw Multimouse” he said, not completely lying but trying to come up with something she’d believe.
“You did? Where!?”
“Oh, you know just a few off that way,” he gestured vaguely towards his house, “but I Lost them so I thought I’d find you to see what was up.”
“Oh? Well not too much, just trying to train her a bit, you know just in case.”
“Where is she now?”
“Um, Marinette is on her way home, why?”
“Just wondering? How’d her training go? Looks like she took a lot out of you.”
“Yeah? Well guess you could say she’s all over the place, but I suppose that makes sense with that power. She’s handling it pretty well though.”
“So does this mean we’re going to be seeing more of her now?”
“We’ll see Kitty, Just don’t run off to gossip with her just yet, I don’t need another Weredad situation.”
“Fine, but could I get some warning for next time? I thought there was an emergency.”
“Alright, I get that but it was sorta spur of the moment so no guarantee that it’ll happen any time soon.”
“She’s a pretty great person so don’t go keeping her all to yourself, Bug,” he said with a wink, “unless you’re afraid of losing me to her?”
“As if,” she giggled, “go home already you big flirt, I’m sure you’ve got a big day tomorrow.”
“Alright, just let me know what’s up later” he replied, turning to the way he’d come and jumping off shouting, “Good Night M’lady.”
“Good Night!” She shouted back finally standing up to head home.
——
By the next morning she was glad to finally get that weight off her chest, she resolved to see how far this freedom could take her, she even thought about bringing him some pastries for lunch. That was until she got downstairs to grab som and he was standing there in the storefront chatting it up with her parents.
“Oh, here she is now!” Her mother said as she came through to the front of the bakery, “ Adrien was just asking about you.”
“He- he was!” She sputtered out, wondering to herself if she had accidentally said something that gave her away last night.
Now more acutely aware of Marinette’s panic Adrien spoke up, “Well I just asked if you knew when she’d be down, I was just here to get some pastries.” Hearing a small sigh of relief from Marinette he continued, “Is there anything you’d recommend?”
“Oh! Ok, well… I have some of those passionfruit you said you liked before that I made last night!... or unless you wanted something else? There’s some mint cookies that’re new? And a peanut butter cake?”
“Well all of that sounds amazing, but I probably shouldn’t go overboard, are the cookies the smallest of those?” He asked turning back towards Sabine at the counter.
“I’ll ring that up for you and then you two can head out to school together.”
He paid for his pastries and tried not to stare as they left to cross the street to the school, he had to see her as soon as possible which is why he took his time deciding but his mind was still in a blur looking for what signs he might’ve missed that she liked him. There was so much he was wondering about, like when she said she’d tried before but stopped herself and he couldn’t figure out when she might’ve done that or what he would’ve done to make her afraid.
As they got to the doors of the school together he saw Alya give her a look of some kind, was that a sign? Did she know? Was that about something else?
He was probably a little to preoccupied in his thoughts because he was caught completely off guard by Marinette asking him if something was wrong.
“Does it look that way?” He hesitantly replied.
“Well maybe, you don’t seem upset but something looks like it’s bothering you. Did something happen? Were the cookies bad?”
“No it’s nothing like that,” he paused, wondering how could he say this to her without giving it away, “I sorta got an anonymous message from... an admirer? I guess would be the way to put it.” He definitely noticed her perk up at that. He darted his head away so she wouldn’t see him react.
“D-do you want to… find them?” She asked cautiously, Multimouse was already an identity she’d sacrificed once and she could certainly do it again but telling him outright probably wouldn’t leave the best impression. She knew he knew that responsibility from the Snake miraculous...
He broke her line of thought by speaking back up, “I don’t think they want me to know yet. I still want to, that curiosity is probably natural, I just don’t want her to think I’m disrespecting why she kept it a secret.”
Marinette thought about it for a second, she had wanted to get out the confession so that it’d be easier to talk to him so now was probably the time to take that advantage and go for it, “Well she probably wants you to know eventually, so why not keep an eye out for a girl who’s got her eyes on you,” he turned back to face her at that, “She’s probably closer than you think.”
She wanted to reassure him but looking into that smile trying to help him find her he realized just how much of a hold this little mouse had on him.

English to Swedish - it doesn’t always translate well
As we all know, languages work differently. There’s the grammar, words that don’t exist in other languages, and there are different proverbs and sayings etc. that don’t translate well into other languages. I made a post once about Swedish proverbs, and what they mean in English. Now I thought I’d make a post with English phrases/sayings/proverbs that don’t work directly translated into Swedish, and how one would say it in Swedish instead. Not all English sayings work as well as Do unto others as you would have them do to you- gör mot andra som du själv vill bli behandlad. But of course that’s from the bible, so of course it would translate well. Anyways, here they are:
E-The English saying/phrase/proverb S-How you would say it in Swedish ( ) - How it translates in the other language
1.
E-Raining cats and dogs - (Regnar katter och hundar) S-Det spöregnar - (It’s spear-raining/it’s raining like spears) In Sweden we have a lot of words for different types of rain and snow - spöregn, duggregn, isregn, pudersnö, mjuksnö, klibbsnö etc. Oh and it’s worth pointing out that spö doesn’t actually mean spear, it means rod.
2.
E-No idea - (Ingen idé) S-Ingen aning - (No idea/inkling/suspicion / I don’t know)
I had a problem with this very phrase when I was in England in 2009, because I got so used to saying no idea, that I said ingen idé, which doesn’t work AT ALL in Swedish. If you say ingen idé, you probably mean that there is no point to something. Det är ingen idé att prata med henne, hon svarar inte - There’s no point in talking to her, she won’t reply.
3.
E-Between a rock and a hard place - (Mellan en sten och en hård plats) S-Pest eller kolera - (Plague or cholera)
Yes, if we have two bad alternatives, we do say it’s like choosing between the plague or cholera. That’s just the way we phrase it.
4.
E-The birds and the bees - (Fåglarna och bina) S-Blommor och bin - (Flowers and bees)
Like, what does the birds have to do with it? We switched it.
5.
E-Cut to the chase - (Klipp till jakten) S-Kom till saken - (Come/get to the thing)
If you say klipp till jakten it sounds like you are editing a video and you want to cut the video and put in a chasing scene. Kom till saken on the other hand means basically get to the point.
6.
E-By the skin of my/her/his/their/your teeth - (Genom huden av mina/hennes/hans/deras/dina tänder) S-Med nöd och näppe - (With need and narrowly / barely)
By the skin of your teeth is such a weird saying. You have no skin on your teeth?
7.
E-Drive up the wall - (Köra upp på väggen) S-Driver mig till vansinne - (Driving me crazy /driving me to insanity)
These two are not completely the same, but it’s the closest I could think of. Worth noting is that driver does not mean driving, if you want to say I am driving you do not say Jag driver, you say Jag kör. Jag driver means I am kidding, coincidentally.
8.
E-Piece of cake - (Tårtbit) S-Lätt som en plätt - (Easy as a small pancake)
I dunno if plättar exists in other countries, but they are basically small pancakes, the same batter and everything. Oh, and if you answer the question How did it go? with Tårtbit! it literally will not make any sense.
9.
E-There’s no such thing as a free lunch - (Det finns inget sådant som en gratis lunch) S-Ingenting är gratis här i världen - (Nothing is free in this world)
I find this expression so funny, because in Sweden, lunch can be free. We have free school lunches from kindergarten and until we’re 18/19 years old. Worth clarifying is that Swedish have two words for Free. One is to BE free - FRI (Jag är fri). The other is that you get something for free - GRATIS (Jag fick resa gratis).
10.
E-Feel a bit under the weather - (Känns lite under vädret) S-Känns lite krasslig - (Feel a bit unwell/bad)
To be under vädret makes absolutely no sense. The Swedish language is often very LITERAL. Which means, if you say you are under vädret, you are literally saying you feel like you are under a weather, which is ridiculous.
Okay, that’ll do for now. Message me if you have any comments or questions :) (Or just reblog if you want)
