GLOW | DARK
Entry for @glowweek day 1!
I'm a huge fan of raves and EDM, so when i saw the prompt "Glow" i couldn't help but think of the amazing glowing from blacklight, UV paint, and of course the glow bracelets that are at these shows!
I took inspiration from the scene of Steven and Connie dancing at Sour Cream's party in the episode "Alone Together" and also some colors from clips of various Porter Robinson Dj sets.

Tumblr media
An extremely hot day of September, Jeonghan and you were about to die because of the heat, with the a/c broken and without any money to get it fixed, the only thing that was left for both of you to do was endure it.
You were laying on the cold living room floor, feeling briefly fresh, well, only your backs felt cool, but that was better than nothing at all. You wanted to cry so bad, maybe if your boyfriend and you have gotten an smaller apartment or if you had gotten another part-time job all your problems would be solved, but that was the closest apartment to the campus and both of you were in a moment in your carriers were only one job was starting to crash with you studies.
Jeonghan let out a loud sigh and approached you sliding slowly through the floor, a long arm wrapped you tightly, body’s melting together, he hugged your pretty waist, and your face hid in his chest while he smelt the scent of your shampoo.
“Jeonghan, get away from me, we are in the middle of a heatwave with no a/c and the last thing I want is sweat” you said trying to loosen his grip, you only managed to get even more impossibly close to him.
“Your waist is very pretty, did you know?” He stated, letting you go, but now he was outlining your figure, specifically the big curvature of your waist while you were lying on your side.
“It’s not that pretty” a shiver ran through your body at the soft feeling of his hot hands over your covered skin.
“It is, and I like it a lot” he left a cute little peck on your lips, before getting up to go to the kitchen.
You giggled like a high schooler whose boyfriend just kissed her for the first time, and kicked the air once you were laying over your back again. You found the ceiling very interesting for a moment, thoughts ramming in your head, and then one of your top 10 most humbling moments of all time popped up. Well the floor was an incredible place to think about shit from the past.
Trying to forget by closing your eyes tightly you didn’t notice when your boyfriend came running from the kitchen with his phone in his hand, jumping like a child whom just was rewarded with candies.
“¡Baby!” He called you many times jumping beside you, but when you didn’t answer at the fifth call he got genuinely annoyed for a moment.
“Fucking bitch, get up, we are going to earn some quick money” he declared upset, putting one of his feet’s on you stomach.
“Ouch, take your feet away from me and my tummy” you said while grabbing his ankle trying to move him away.
You sat up stretching your back that cracked very loud making you win a weird look from Jeonghan, that was a nice crack though.
“Babe, my tummy” your voice came in a childish tone making you cringe.
“Tummy my ass, get up, we are going to work” he said at the same time he offered you his hand.
“Work?, wher-, no, how? Don’t tell me, did you sell one of my kidneys?” The fake fear in your voice made Jeonghan crack a smile while helping you get up.
“But you can live with only one” he played along, and you gave him a weak punch in his arm “Come on, I would never sell your organs in the black market, they are for me in case I get sick” he said boasting
“You little fucker” you whined in a very high pitched tone while he laugh loudly “Now, for real, where are we going to work in a Sunday afternoon?” You asked, getting close to your boyfriend so you could steal a soft kiss from him.
“We are going to wash some cars with Mingyu’s cousin and her cheerleaders friends” you looked at him in disbelief, where you were going to wash the cars?, Mingyu lived in a New York size apartment with no parking lot “you know the gas station where he works?” You nod and he smiled, an “ooh” left your mouth.
Jeonghan kissed you again, but this time, instead of giving you just a cute peck, you felt his tongue caress your lower lips and with a weak moan you give the wet muscle permission to enter you mouth, his hot tongue stroked your own, a whimper escaped from the kiss and Jeonghan stopped but not without biting onto your lower lips, you were just so cute and desirable.
“Let’s go?” He said licking his pinky and glossy lips.
“Yeah” you felt pathetic from the way your voice came out in a thread. Shit.
[🍭]
The sun was in a burning heat, attacking mercilessly everyone, you were squeezing the sponges, feeling drops of sweat dance in your forehead when you saw how the cheerleaders along with Mingyu's cousin were playing with the water, wetting themselves while soaping the cars.
Both of you were damp in sweat and your hands hurt because of the rough texture of the sponge, but you and your boyfriend were firm, both determined to get the money to fix their portal to heaven. The air conditioner.
Mingyu finished his turn a few hours ago, leaving you and Jeonghan alone, with a bunch of “pretty” teenage girls that were rubbing themselves in the windows of the cars. You noticed how this man who seemed quite old and looked… somehow weird got into the space given from the gas station for the car washing, the car was shining like it was brand new, even the wheels were sparkling.
“Disgusting” you mumbled, but as the time passed by, you didn’t even care to look again if the cars were clean or not, more money for the a/c.
Yet the sun was affecting you, tiny tears were starting to build in your eyes.
“Hannie, my eyes hurt” you said, pounding to just sit next to your boyfriend -whom was cleaning the rims- and hug his side, resting your face in his arm.
“Baby, we’ll be lucky if we just get out of here with our eyes hurting and not with a sunburn,” he said, kissing the top of your head.
“Can’t wait to have the apartment as cold as the north pole” you whimpered with a high pitch tone.
“Me neither”
[🍭]
You guys didn’t have any idea of how the things turned out this way, the girls were having a wet shirt contest and maybe it was the fact that the school shirts were so soaked they looked translucent and that some of them didn’t have bra, but the clients were giving money like crazy, the tips jar was about to burst, and that indeed made you both so happy.
But your happiness was about to be doomed, you saw how JiWon -Mingyu’s cousin- was getting closer with the old green hose in her hands, with determination in her eyes.
Jeonghan and you ran like a soul who is hunted by the devil, the much younger girl was faster, relentless and with no mercy, the first one to get drenched With the extremely cold water was Jeonghan.
His grey shirt attached to his chest like a second skin, Jeonghan thought that the feeling was going to be excruciating, but the only thing that he felt was satisfaction, making his muscles relax.
“Jiwon!, me too, me too!” You beg when you saw how your boyfriend enjoyed the bath of cold water.
Your cousin’s friend did as requested, soaking you more than your lover who was laughing soundly, he was going to crack a joke when he finally caught more than a glimpse of you, mouth agape at the sight.
The thin fabric of your blouse outlined your delicate figure, accentuating your small waist and the curvature of your breast, black underwear, noticeable under the cloth, your hair looked darker, droplets of water travelled over your neck, disappearing at the collar of the shirt.
Jeonghan was certain, he needed more than just a little splash of water, he was getting hotter and hotter, and if the water wasn’t going to cool him down, only your arousal could.
You gave him a bright smile, his heart melted because you were just too adorable. He wanted to eat you whole.
A smirk was painted in Jeonghan’s pretty face, walking towards you while feeling his hardening cock rub against the fabric of his shorts.
He grabbed you by the waist, body’s so close your face was pressed to his chest, and you couldn’t help but joggle at the hard touch of his dick on your belly.
Jeonghan’s face got close to your ear, biting down your earlobe; he felt you trembling at the action.
“You know, pretty doll?” His hoarse whisper in your ear was ecstasy for you “In this wet shirt’s contest, you are the winner” his grip on your waist tightened taking your breath.
“Han-hannie” you said in a pathetic cry of his name, his hot chest against your was to much,
he was holding you firmly, making you that you could feel his dick poking your belly “We’re at the gas station, Hannie” you tried to move away from him, only managing to make him let go of your waist, but now he was fondling your breast over your shirt in a public space.
“Mmh, you’re right, but I think everyone is focused on the girls, so maybe, it would be better…”his face approached to yours, so close his lips stroked yours faintly “It would be better if we get into the car”he said with his honeyed voice, abiding into your ears“I’m going to fuck you so good, doll” his hot tongue licked you lips and you wanted to cry so bad, because of how much you craved his touch.
Your boyfriend grabbed your hand, interlocking your fingers and guided you towards the old -old- jeep, that was parked behind the gas station.
Once you were beside the car, Jeonghan parted away from you, this time groping the curvature of your ass, making you yelp.
With some struggle he opened the back door of the truck and manhandled you into the back seats, getting inside after you, closing the door with a slam.
He hovered over you, dragging with his hands your oversized shorts, smoothing your cute and puffy thighs, feeling the wet and slightly cold skin.
“Jeonghan, I don’t think this is a good idea” you stuttered, containing a loud and scandalous whine because of the flaring touch of your lover getting closer to your crotch.
“It is a bad idea, in fact it is an incredibly bad idea, but that doesn’t mean we are not going to do it anyway” he whispered with mockery splattered all over his voice, his soft lips grazing over you neck, making you shiver.
Jeonghan hands descended completely to your crotch, touching just lightly over your clothed cunt to then grab your waist tightly once again.
His fingers soothed your flesh over the shirt, they stroked your back, meeting with the hem of your shorts and sneaking inside your underwear.
The skin from your ass was smooth and warm, he massaged up and down, squeezing and spreading your asscheeks shamelessly while you drowned your whimpers in his mouth.
His fingers groped your tight and sticky core, caressing carefully, enjoying how you tried to silence your moans biting your knuckles.
He got his hands out of your shorts, unbuttoning them with expertise, pulling them out in a quick swing, skin reddening at the friction.
Your cheeks were bright red, embarrassed because of the situation you were in, naked from the waist down, with the strong and obscene gaze from your boyfriend over your body. Your forearm rested over your eyes, feeling overly exposed. It's not the first time Jeonghan sees you like this, but you still have the entitlement to feel a little bit of shame because of how vulnerable you are right now.
“You’re perfect” he said, grabbing your arm and pinning them over your head with one hand. “You’re perfect and only mine.” He howled and kissed you passionately, sucking, biting your lips, enjoying the sugary taste of your mouth, and swallowing your moans delightedly.
With his free hand, he lifted your soaked shirt, now contemplating your soft and milky skin, his eyes now fixated over your breasts, his free hand moved your bra, tits now spilling over your chest, perky buttons saying “hi” to Jeonghan in neediness.
He licked his lips with lewdness in his eyes, his hot breath made your perky buttons even more sensitive -if that was even possible-, his lips left an open mouthed kiss, gifting you a hickey just above the bud of nerves, to then proceed and bite and suck your nipple, your boyfriend couldn’t help but feel thrilled by the cry’s that slipped from your mouth.
“Ha- nnie” you said in a pathetic mewl, you felt feverish when his teeth bit into the sensitive flesh, just like you were about to pass out from the sensation.
Jeonghan pressed his fingers in your mouth, making you lick and suck them. Once they were covered in your spit, his hand went once again to your cunt, pressing his fingers into your soaked core.
Two of his fingers entered into your inviting pussy without a warning, digits curling and hitting deliciously every good spot inside of you, Jeonghan savored how your face was showered in ecstasy, knowing that only him could make you feel this good.
You rolled your eyes and your mouth fell agape, gutural moans coming from you, your damp hair sticking to your soft skin and your cunt drooling exited, velvety walls pulsating and sucking his fingers, making him grunt because sooner than later it would be his cock fucking you to the hilt.
“Y/n l/n, hear your name now, pretty, because I’m going to fuck you so hard you’re going to forget it”.
[🍭]
Fast forward to now, Jeonghan was doing the roll of a crutch so you could walk properly towards the younger girls. The mess spilling from your cunt into your underwear making you feel embarrassed, and the burn in your gummy walls, only made you more expectant for what was coming at home.
“Jeonghan, I can assure you that you fucked something inside of me” you whispered not feeling your legs at all, they were asleep because of the cramped place you just had sex in.
“I did more than that,” he said nonchalantly, tightening the grip on your waist.
“Shut up!” you said in a funny cry.
Once you were close to the group of girls, they excitedly gave you an envelope full of money as they thanked you for the help.
Jeonghan got so excited that he let you go, making you lose your balance. You felt a sharp pain in your knees, a loud howl slipped from your mouth, and when your boyfriend looked at you, he felt his dick twitch in his shorts at the view, you were giving him such a mean glare.
“Don’t look at me like that, I might fuck you again”

Tumblr media

❗Most of these fics are smutty as hell, so minors dni.❗ 
If you read anything on this list and you like it, please leave a comment to the writer or reblog the original fic’s post 💜And if you want more fic recs you can follow me to stay updated 🙂
BTS fic rec index → May | Jun | Jul | 💜 | Sep (jjk)(knj) | Oct (pjm) | Nov (*) | Dec (ksj)(kth) |
Emoji meaning → angst = 🌩️, smut = 🥵, fluff = 🥰, comedy = 😂, personal favorites = 💯. 
Tumblr media
Namjoon
⭐All Aboard! (the passion express)💯 by @ve1vetyoongi // knj x f.reader // office worker!namjoon // 🥵
📝 There were not many things that got your blood boiling in the same way that two simple words could. Kim Namjoon. The name of your irritating and (unfortunately enough, as the universe would have it) incredibly handsome co-worker. Which is exactly why you never expected to find your self on your knees for him on the train home.
🗨️ Holy fuck, fuck, fuck this was so incredibly filthy (in the best way possible) 🥵 the tension between reader and Namjoon was perfect, the build up was so satisfying 🌟 what’s not to like ✨😍
⭐The Wedding Arrangement💯 by @sugaurora // knj x f.reader // ‘enemies’ to friends to lovers, wedding!au // 🥵🥰🌩️
📝 Unfortunately, he’s just gotten engaged to someone who isn’t you. Even more unfortunately, he expects you to help plan the wedding alongside Kim Namjoon, his other best friend and, based on your first meeting, just another judgmental jerk. Putting aside your distaste for the sake of your friend’s happiness, you both set about giving Seokjin the wedding of his dreams. Following a rough and satisfying affair at the caterer’s, you strike an unusual deal: you and Namjoon will be enemies with benefits until the wedding is over. And after six months of wedding planning, you both just might learn that weddings aren’t usually the end, but a brand new beginning.
🗨️ This was so amazing 🥹 the characters had so much depth and ugh! It was just so, so good. It was a pleasure reading their love unfolding 🥰 aish, I’m soft! It’s filled will plenty soft, slight heartbreaking angst at times, but oh so fluffy and smutty too! It was perfect 👌🏾 💯 please don’t sleep on this one, okay? 🥹
Seokjin
⭐Knocked by @sailoryooons // ksj x f.reader // roommates to lovers // 🥵😂
📝 Living with people is difficult, but all things considered, your new roommate isn’t terrible. He cooks, he cleans, and if you had to be honest - incredibly attractive. But his habit of streaming until the early hours of the morning while yelling and making other questionable noises has pushed you to the limit. You’ve finally decided to risk your sanity and put it all on the line with a reckless bet in hopes of getting some peace and quiet at night.
Yoongi
⭐DreamCatcher by @jimlingss // myg x f.reader // s2l // 🥰🌩️
📝 When your dreams are more or less nightmares, monsters inside your head that eat you alive, it seems like the only person who can help you is Min Yoongi, professional dream chaser. 
🗨️ Aw, this was heart wrenching and beautiful 🥺 all those nightmares, readers mom.. Ugh 🥺 and then they can enter each other’s dreams 😭 they have a special connection! I was not prepared for Yoongi's nightmare at the end 😭😭 and the reader just gave up. Aish, it was really, really good 🌟
⭐Oh, darling! [completed series] 💯 by @yoongiofmine // myg x f.reader // university!au, non idol au, professor!yoongi, student!reader // 🥰🌩️🥵
📝 Starting your second semester at one of South Korea’s most prestigious universities should be stressful enough. Between juggling classes, good grades and a social life, your plate was full. Hoping to spice up your academic career, you thought it was a good idea to enroll as an assistant for your literature professor, whom you’ve held a very secret and very forbidden crush on for the past several months. What will happen now that you’re forced to work closely together? And what if your crush isn’t as one sided as you thought? 
🗨️ Holy fucking shit 🥵🫣😳 I am speechless. My soul have left my body 🥵 it’s so good! ‘Kay bye 🫣
⭐Sinful Lust [ongoing series] 💯 by @oddinary4bts // myg x jjk x f.reader // established relationship, bisexual boyfriend!Yoongi, slice of life // 🥵🌩️
📝In an attempt to spice up your bedroom life with your boyfriend Min Yoongi, you suggest bringing another man into the action. Yoongi seems reluctant at first, but when you mention his friend Jeon Jungkook, he can’t deny his attraction. All that’s left to do is to convince Jungkook into participating…
🗨️  Holy 😱 😱 😱 this is just completely unadulterated sin 🥵🫣 like, I went to hell and I didn’t come back! On another note, I found their chemistry really interesting - but damn I felt sorta sorry for Jungkook at the end. ugh the feels, my heart is torn!
Hoseok
⭐Watch Yourself by @boymeetsweevil // jhs x f.reader // non idol au, pwp // 🥵
📝 It starts with an invitation from your ex. It ends with Hoseok’s hands down your pants in said ex’s kitchen.
🗨️ Oh this was hot alright 🥵
Jimin
⭐You DTF? by @sailoryooons // pjm x f.reader // strangers to one-night stand, pwp // 🥵😂
📝 You’ve never had a one night stand. Jimin has had countless. You’re trying to experience new things. Jimin loves doing the same old shit. So when you meet the man going around the club inviting people to touch his ripped abs, you think perhaps this is the perfect opportunity to try new things. It’s Labor Day weekend at the shore - what can go wrong? 
🗨️ This is absolutely dirty in the best way possible 😝 fuckboy jimin is no joke 🥵🫣 the dialogues are funny, hilarious and a good throwback to the 2000s 😂 it’s really good 👌🏾 ♥
⭐In the Dark 💯 by @jksangelic // pjm x jjk x f.reader // f2l, threesome, pwp // 🥵😂
📝 “I can’t get a signal on my phone, the car is dead, and I’m fairly certain we are out of matches.” Jungkook and Jimin have a very short attention span, and when you three are lost in the middle of nowhere with a truck that won’t drive, they busy themselves with you.
🗨️  I was in the mood for a comfort fic (= one that I’d read before), with a threesome that was smutty as hell, and this is just that 🥵♥️ I just adore this so much, one of my all-time favorites 🌟
⭐Roomie 💯 by @jessikahathaway // pjm x f.reader // slice of life!au, roommates!au // 🥵😂
📝 After a disappointing slew of failed sexual escapades, you find yourself willing to do some crazy things. Falling for your roommate not included.
🗨️ Omg, this was fucking hot 🥵 💯
⭐Ribbons 💯 by @jamaisjoons // pjm x jjk x f.reader // threesome, established relationship, pwp // 🥵😂🥰
📝 Your boyfriend, jimin, arranges the best birthday present you could have ever asked for.
🗨️ Fuck, just what the fuck 🥵 I’m speechless. This was so incredibly sinful, like 😳🥵 I’m blushing 🫣💯
⭐Sunday Morning by @bangtsblossom // pjm x f.reader // established relationship // 🥵🥰
📝 The morning after he proposes to you.
🗨️ This was just so sweet and loving 💖
⭐Picking Petals by @cutechim // pjm x f.reader // idol!jimin, married couple!au, pwp // 🥵🥰
📝  You asked for a baby, so a baby is what you’re going to get. 
🗨️ Omg this was so fucking hot and good! ♥ 💯
Taehyung
⭐Farmer boy, I Love You by @strawberrynamjoon // kth x f.reader // farming!au, lowkey e2l // 🥵😂
📝 Needing change in your life you decided it would be a brilliant idea to move to your uncle’s small farm, helping him and your cousin Jimin with the daily work. What you didn’t plan was to fall in love with your beautiful yet very annoying neighbour Taehyung, who seemed to make it his personal mission to tease you every chance he got. And what you expected even less was that he seemed to like you too.
🗨️ This was just utterly sweet, so fluffy 🥺 I really liked this: the way that reader and Taehyung’s friendship deepens, their friends and their banter 🥺 everything was so good, soft, sad sometimes, and just really great and funny too 🤭
Jungkook
⭐Snow and Ice: pt1, pt2 [completed series] by @hayjeon // jjk x f.reader // friendswithbenefits!au, Snowboarder!JK and figure skater!reader // 🥵🌩️🥰😂
🗨️ Omg this is so good 😍 I love the dynamic between all the characters, their banter 👌🏾 and the relationship between reader and Jungkook is just outstanding 🌟 also, this couple is just GOLD 🥇 
⭐Pen pals by @gukyi // jjk x f.reader // f2l // 🥵😂🥰
📝 To put it simply, pretending to be jungkook’s pen pal when you were both eight just so he wouldn’t be disappointed was a bad idea, because now he’s in love with them. or, well, you, he just doesn’t know it. 
🗨️ Dammmmmmn that is a long time to keep up a lie 😂 reader has real dedication! It’s really good 👌🏾 it was interesting to see how the lie just keeps growing, and how that affected both the reader and Jungkook. The overall story is just really cute and fluffy 🥰
⭐Fact over Fancy by @dovechim // jjk x f.reader // ‘friends’ to lovers, dystopian!au // 🥵🌩️
📝 In this world, there are two types of people: those born with emotions, and those born without. Society is thriving in its emotionless state, productivity levels are at an all time high. Marriage serves only one function: to father the next generation. Those with emotions are considered to be defective, aberrations who can never be matched. What happens when there’s a glitch in the so-called perfect system and a defective and a “normal” person are matched?
🗨️ The dystopian theme in this was really interesting, and the build up tension between Jungkook and reader - and then the reveal! 🤡 The smut is really good and the ending scene had me going 😂 😂
⭐Date in a Box by @jimlingss // jjk x f.reader // s2l // 🥰😂
📝 If you’re in a hurry then we’re here to help you! Everything you need in a box. Delivery less than five minutes. Upgrade and we can personalize your date even more! Guaranteed 100%! Don’t fret, we’re here.
🗨️ This was just straight up hilarious!  😂 So funny and the fluff is cute  😍
⭐Two point five (part three) 💯by @bratkook // jjk x f.reader // handyman!jungkook, pwp // 🥵🥰
📝 Jungkook finally fixes your pipes, sure he gets distracted while doing it, but what else could you expect when you’re sitting on top of him looking like that.
🗨️ I just had to reread the first two parts, before reading this new one 🥹😍 I can’t get enough of this lovely couple! This addition was perfect. Jungkook is just so damn whipped 🥰💯
Tumblr media
Thank you so much for going through my recommendations! I hope you find something that you like and show it some love. I’m still going through my reading list from as far back as 2017, so don’t be surprised if I recommend something ‘old’ 😁 
Also, I might not be able to read (and recommend much) in September and October because I’m moving. My husband and I bought our first house, so the next months I’ll be packing and moving 🎉

 So I noticed a few people have been following me bc a couple artist friends of mine have been drawing my Swap Pap, Gale (love you @flamingbiscuit​ @a-snowpoff​ and @mmhinman​ [who drew the ref below]) so I’ll post some information about my boy here, for those of you wishing to know more about him.
I’ll be including some general HCs about him, as well as his backstory below the cut (though it’s currently very much a work in progress). I hope you enjoy ^^
TW for Gale’s backstory include no-mercy run mentions, death, and mourning/grief.
Tumblr media
HCs
He has a humming stim. He constantly listening to many different songs from different genres, and while there’s no real consistency between them, one thing they’ll have in common is that they’ll stick in his head for hours. As a result, his Undyne started to refer to him as a Nightingale. Gale for short, hence his nickname.
He works as a software programmer full-time, so he has some cash to burn. He also runs a side YouTube channel where he teaches kids how to code. He enjoys being entertaining to kids, and while he likes them just fine, he’s probably in need of a babysitting lesson or two.
He has a number of stims outside of humming. He has chew necklaces for his chewing stim and it a notorious pen clicker. Also leg bouncing. Lots of leg bouncing.
He's not normally very athletic and is even a bit too indoorsy, but he really enjoys swimming. Something about just letting himself drift in nice, cool water he finds soothing. If he lived by a large body of water he would also enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking.
He owns a bearded dragon named Mush (also called “Mushy” or in some cases “Mushymushymushy”). Gale bought a nice large terrarium full of all the needs for his little friend and keeps them plenty happy. Mush will often rest on Gale’s shoulder while he works.
His love language is physical affection. He'll stop if you want, but if you let him, he's going to reach out at every opportunity. Rub your hand while you hold his, snuggle up on the couch (platonic or romantic, he’s down wither way), lazily fiddle with your hair, etc.. He also tends to lean into the people he likes when he laughs.
He does origami as a hobby. Paper folding was also a stim for him and he decided "heck, I'll do something artistic as shit with this" and he took it up pretty easily.
His absolute favorite food is gnocchi. It's pasta in a cute little bug-shaped package and they're fun to chew.
He does little Mandela designs in his notebook just as doodles, not really seriously. 
He enjoys comically bad movies as well as romcoms. He also prefers movies that are more focused on the characters than the plot, though will make an exception if the comedy is especially well done.
He's a bit of a gamer, but only really enjoys single player games. He specifically prefers smaller indie platformers like hollow knight, shovel knight, etc..
He’s got a very relaxed attitude, which he often expresses through mischief and playing ignorant. He is very off-the-cuff when it comes to how he interacts with people, and will often say whatever first pops into his head, for better or worse.
He wears his emotions on his sleeve, and if he’s upset about something chances are you’ll know right away. He’s usually a pretty happy guy, but when the mood shifts, it’s almost a complete 180.
He highly values honesty, and would rather someone be blunt with him than try to spare his feelings. He’s not a fan of being given flowery words or people dancing around an issue for his sake.
That said, he does still try to emotionally connect with people who are having a rough time, and will often adapt to the people around him. Need cheering up? He’s a great distraction. Need a shoulder to cry on? He’ll comfort you all night. He’s not the best with words, but he’ll do what he can to put smiles on his friend’s faces.
Backstory
Gale’s Underswap is much like any normal Underswap in the begginning. He was raised by his older brother (his swap sans), who is training to be a royal guard and to be the hero his little brother always thought of him as. The two grew up in Snowdin, though Gale would often leave town to explore the dump and find new tech to tinker with. That’s where he met his Undyne, and the two would often talk about their experiments over Undernet. Gale is very close with Undyne, and considers her his best friend.
This peaceful, happy life is interrupted with the arrival of Chara. In this particular Swap AU, Chara begins to a no mercy run, makes it through Snowdin and finally reaches the border to Waterfall. Gale has decided to step in after seeing the disaster the human had caused, and he rushes in recklessly, hoping to stop them before they can reach Undyne and the other Waterfall monsters. Gale has decent HP and attack, and he figures that if Chara took a swing at him, he could tank it and knock them down in one blow. 
He doesn’t know just how futile that would be.
The fight commences, both dodging each other’s attacks. Chara seems to predict Gale’s attacks, and dodges them easily. They wear Gale down, until he’s out of breath, and at their mercy. Chara swings their weapon one last time, but before they can hit Gale
Sans throws himself between them, reducing his HP to zero. 
Gale watched Sans die in front of him, and being frozen, he just. Sits there. Shaking. Unable to move. It’s then that Chara snaps out of their trance. They realize what they’ve been doing. What hurt they’ve been causing. They try to reach out to Gale, but before they can touch him, he teleports away in panic. After this, Chara starts sparing monsters, effectively being a pacifist from this point. Eventually, Chara defeats Toriel, and they leave the Underground, seemingly to never be heard from again. 
Gale, grief-stricken, moves in with Undyne. He helps Undyne with her experiments, and learns to code in order to earn his keep. He starts seeing a therapist through Undyne's encouragement, which helps a bit, but he never quite goes back to normal. He does eventually get used to masking his sadness, using his humor to get genuine laughs from his jokes and divert attention away from the things he’s not ready to talk about. With his brother and lifeline gone, he's also a lot more dependent on the people around him now. It's something he has to grow past. 
3 years after Chara’s initial fall, another human falls, and is handed over to Captain of the Guard Alphys. Working with the human, she crosses the barrier. Undyne and Gale eagerly await news, and finally, after months, she returns with the seven souls needed to break the barrier. “Volunteers” she found. Chara included.
With this second chance being the kick in the pants he needs, Gale decides to move out of Undyne's, stop mooching, and build the better life his brother always wanted for him. It takes a lot of work, and those scars still run deep, but he's doing better for himself and actively working hard to better his life, as well as the lives of other monsters affected by the human.
It helps him sleep at night. Maybe one day it'll be more than just coping.

♱⠀ “OLDER SISTER Y/N.” : BLLCK BOYS !
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀“DIOS MÍO, YOU ARE SUCH A NERD.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
⟣⠀IN WHICH .. i demonstrate how i think my version of y/n would act as the older sister of different blue lock boys.
⟣⠀GENRE .. older sister!y/n. fluff. comedy (??).
⟣⠀CONTENTS .. fem reader. mutual pining. sibling banter. older sibling protectiveness. older sister teasing.
Tumblr media
⠀✩⠀⠀ISAGI FAMILY
♱⠀Y/N ISAGI⠀who enjoys teasing and prodding fun at the fairly short Isagi. he’s always been smaller than the girl, even when they were little kids. their parents were unsure where the girl got her genetic muscular physique or height, Isagi indefinitely envying his older sister for her advantages.
♱⠀Y/N ISAGI⠀that would bully the bullies who picked on Isagi and his friends as kids. no matter if they were simply calling him names, or if they were full on pushing him around; Y/N was always right there pummeling the kids’ faces in and throwing them into trash cans so even when they got out, they’d reek. just like their attitudes.
♱⠀Y/N ISAGI⠀is the definition of fuck around and find out. she never once threatened people when it came to her brother, she just waited til they thought he was an easy target and then she’d make her move. yeah, her careless actions caused her to be suspended quite a lot, but that wasn’t important to her.
♱⠀Y/N ISAGI⠀who, despite going through hoops to make sure her brother was protected in the real world, would willingly give the small boy wedgies and put his favorite things on high shelves so he couldn’t reach them. no one was allowed to mess with her brother besides her, and she made sure that everyone knew that.
♱⠀Y/N ISAGI⠀that helped train Isagi into the stubborn egoist he is today, the girl forcing him to grow thick skin as a kid so he wouldn’t be pushed down so easily by other players who were equally as stubborn and hard headed as he was. it was a tough journey, but in the end paid off when she saw him on the big screen playing like an absolute menace.
Tumblr media
⠀✩⠀⠀BACHIRA FAMILY
♱⠀Y/N BACHIRA⠀that adores every last inch of her psychotic little brother. she’d sacrifice everything just to see him smile. she knew how people felt about him, and for most of their childhood, she tried to shield him from the fact. yet, once they reached a certain age, kids stopped caring and just straight up told him; leading to the girl putting them in their place for speaking ill of her brother.
♱⠀Y/N BACHIRA⠀who couldn’t help but poke fun at and tease her brother when he first grasped an interest in soccer. with phrases like “ay, coño, it’s the damn hispanic in you” followed by a sarcastic face palm. or comments on what player he liked; “dios mío, you are such a nerd”.
♱⠀Y/N BACHIRA⠀is the embodiment of older sister. whenever she wasn’t teasing and beating up her brother, she was mentoring him on how to treat a lady, or just plain out beating him up just for the sake of it. she loved him, but she was the eldest so she had to keep the tough love reputation.
♱⠀Y/N BACHIRA⠀will always put family first. no matter how many of her “friends” tried disliking her brother, she’d rather kick their asses for their weird glares and odd comments than ever choose to stick by them. did she get an expulsion scare for doing so? possibly. And, she’d do it again if she had to.
♱⠀Y/N BACHIRA⠀that goes out of her way to sneak into blue lock just to visit her little brother and taunt him about being cooped up in a facility with a bunch of dudes for weeks on end. she may have threatened ego and anri a bit to give her brother his phone so he could text her, but she swore to him she didn’t do any real damage. (no promises tho)
Tumblr media
⠀✩⠀⠀NAGI FAMILY
♱⠀Y/N NAGI⠀is seishiro’s biggest competitor. from the moment they both picked up a game controller they were always butting heads; in the sibling type of way, of course. she’s the one who taught him everything he knows of course, but didn’t mean he had to go easy on her. and she didn’t want him to.
♱⠀Y/N NAGI⠀would non stop pick on the boy for his height as a kid due to the fact that he was fairly small for his age. however, once junior high rolled around, and he hit the preteen age; Y/N wasn’t the only freakishly tall person roaming the home anymore. with her standing at 6’5, and seishiro 6’3, their parents couldn’t keep up with how much the pair grew.
♱⠀Y/N NAGI⠀that knew her brother wasn’t much of a people person, so he didn’t have many friends. so, she made sure to stick by him throughout school. even though she was in multiple sports, she dragged him along to practices and games just to get him out of the house. he hated it, but knew she was only doing it out of love so he abided by her.
♱⠀Y/N NAGI⠀who tried getting seishiro into basketball, mainly because it was the sport she loved, but also due to his height. the kid was amazing at it, but he didn’t have any interest in the game. the girl knew it was a stretch but at least she tried, so she just continued to let him drown himself in his game.
♱⠀Y/N NAGI⠀adored the fact that seishiro alas found someone who could push aside the fact that he was always playing video games, the girl treating reo like a second brother. anytime he tried getting seishiro to play soccer with him, it took both kids to ambush the boy before they forced him onto the field for a little. it was a drag, but she loved seeing him finally have someone other than herself care about him.

Teach Me How To Love In Your Own Lyrics
(Part three)
Prev. Part one
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Come on pick up,” Steve whispered into the phone.
“What?”
“Wow. Hello to you too.”
“Stevie! Sorry I’m just stressed. Are you coming over later? I need a hug.
“About that, I know you have a 11 o’clock flight so I’ll go to yours if afterwards if you want, but do you think you can come over to mine?”
“Uhhh, yeah. Why?”
“No reason.”
“Uh huh sure. What time can I come over?”
He glances down at his watch it read 3:30. “Um maybe in about two and a half hours. I have some errands to run.”
“Oh okay,” he sounded almost upset, “I’ll be there.”
“Oh!”
“Hm?”
“Bring the rest of the band. Okay byyeeee.” He slammed the phone down before he could get another word in, “He’s on board.”
“I assumed,” Robin said from on top the counter. While he was on the phone she had stolen a jar of peanut butter and had eaten half of it.
“Gross,” he scoffed, “anyways two hours in enough time right?” He said in a very obviously nervous tone.
“If we hurry it should be more than enough,” Vickie reassured.
“Okay then let’s go!” Steve said.
They arrived at the store in less than 5 minutes, Robin deciding to take full control, “okay party people, let’s split up.” She gave everybody their designated roles and they went on their ways. Steve was freaking out thinking they wouldn’t make it back to the house in time. They ended up being back at the car in less than an hour. “Good work team,” Robin exclaimed as they were driving again, “Ohh my god Steeevveee!” She gasped
“What?”
“For old times sake?” She said while pointing at family video.
“No Robs, we only have like a hour and a half and we still have to make some phone calls and set up. Speaking of we should have made the calls first. Great”
“Steve everything will be fine, your Prince Charming will arrive,” he decided to ignore that comment, “and everything will be straight out of the movies okay? But please Steve. You can pick the movie. We will all watch it tonight as a big, happy, and stable family. Pleeeeaassee,” she begged and nudged Vickie.
“Oh uh yeah, please Steve.” Vickie said. Robin grinned, it was honestly kind of off putting.
“Fine but let’s make it quick.” They pulled in the packing lot and hopped out of the car.
“Family Video my names Keith-,” he glanced up, “Oh god-“
“Keeiiittthhhh!” Robin walked over and gave him a little side hug, “how much I didn’t miss you!”
“Same to you Robin,” he sighed, “now what can I help you with?”
“Oh y’a know. Looking for a movie.” Then she skipped away into the comedy aisle. Steve nodded at Keith and then followed Robin. “Okay so whatcha thinking?”
“I don’t know, you pick.”
“Really? Thank you so so much!! This is a honor. Hmmm,” she walked down the row of movies with a mocking finger on her chin, “Oooh! Rocky horror!”
“We watched that yesterday.”
“Really? How about grease?” She said while raising her eyebrows
“Eddie literally hates that movie,” he said like it was obvious. It makes him kind of sad that he’s now banned from his own favorite movie.
“Fine! You pick.”
“Uh,” he glanced around, “Heathers?”
“Never seen it.”
“Me neither, but wow that girl look exactly like Joyce?”
“Ew she does.”
“Are you insulting my mother?” Ever since he moved out of his parents house, he exclusively refers to Joyce as mom.
“No it’s just weird. Anyways it’s settled! Heathers it is!”
Once they got back to Steve’s house they immediately scrambled to get ready. Vickie decorated, Steve made calls, Robin ‘supervised’. Once he finished making the final call they checked the time. 20 minutes to spare. Oh time to hope and pray everyone hurries. “Steve,” Robin rests a hand on his shoulder, “you’re panicking. It’s going to be fine,” she says as the doorbell rings, “see someone is already here.” He stands up and walks to open the door to see people he definitely didn’t invite.
“Lucas? Max?” He says while letting them in. He gave them both a hug, “what are you guys doing here?”
“we were in town… what is going on?” Lucas said while looking around.
“Well, you know how Eddie’s going on tour?” They both hummed in agreement, “we are going to through him and the band a little going away party. Do you think you guys would be able to stay?”
“Yeah, of course. Plus we haven’t seen Eddie in a while.”
“Great! I’ve really missed you guys.”
“We’ve missed you too.”
“It’s kinda sad without my favorite babysitter,” max nudged Steve’s arm.
“Don’t make his ego bigger then it needs to be!” Robin called out from the door. As they were talking about 10 of the 30 people that they invited walked through the doors. He let out a huge sigh of relief. He walked towards the guests and thanked them all for showing up.
As it hit 6 he told everyone to “get ready but also take your time because Eddie is almost always ‘fashionably’ late”. They decided against the whole turning off the lights and hiding thing. Plus Steve’s sure Eddie knows what’s going on. He hears the doorbell ring and everyone immediately goes silent he has everyone in a position so when he opens the door they won’t get caught too quick. He walks to the door and slowly opens it. “Hey guys!” He exclaims trying to hide his fear. The band all says they’re version of hi’s and steps in.
Everyone perfectly chorus’s a loud “surprise”. And to Steve’s amazement they all actually looked surprised. Eddie turned around to face Steve.
“Stevie, you did all this… for me? For us?” He says while gesturing in the vague direction of the band.
“Of course I did. You guys deserve it.” He says but was cut off by Eddie giving him the tightest hug he’s ever gotten. He smiles to himself and hugs him back.
“Thank you Steve.”
“You’re welcome.” They break the hug and Eddie goes to see and thank everyone who came he watched his face light up when he notices Lucas and Max. He doesn’t even notice Gareth is right next to him. “Hey.”
“Thank you. It honestly means a lot. This is awesome. I’m sorry if I ever acted like I hated you. I mean… I kinda did but that’s not the point. You’re a really good dude Steve.”
“Thank you,” you could tell he genuinely meant it, “and I mean you guys are going on tour for 3 whole months. You deserve a crappy party at least.”
“Trust me this party is not crappy,” he smiled (which trust him is weird for Gareth) while walking back to the rest of the party. And he was actually right.
“Well,” Robin smiled, “the party was a hit.”
“It really was,” Eddie chimed in, “thank you again guys.”
“Yes yes we’re so cool and nice, now let’s start the movie,” Robin said while grabbing their arms and skipping to the couch. They all sat down Eddie, Steve, Robin, and Vickie on the couch and the band on the floor in-front of them. Steve had never noticed how small his couch was. Throughout the whole movie all he could think about was how Eddie was practically on top of him. And Eddie could tell something was up.
“You okay? You’re very,” he waves his hand at him, “tense.”
Steve laughs to play it off, “yeah I’m fine.” After this comment he tries to relax a bit. So much so that he allows him self to slowly slide his arm off of the back of the couch and onto Eddie’s shoulder. He swears he sees Eddie blush but it’s a little dark and he doesn’t want to jump to conclusions. He thinks to himself how weird this is. Why is he so nervous it’s not like he likes Eddie. That’s his best friend. Right?
The movie ended soon and it was surprisingly good. Eddie loved it saying that’s it was his new favorite (go Steve!). Every one agreed on two things from the movie.
1. Christian Slater is a capital H Hot man. (even Robin agreed.)
2. And again wow Veronica really looks like Joyce.
The band left thanking them over and over again. The 4 of them remaining cleaned a little and then all decided it’s really late and they should get going. They said their goodbyes. Once Steve arrived at Eddie’s he hugged him again this time impossibly tighter and for a lot longer. “Thank you again Stevie.”
“You are so so very welcome,” Steve sighed, “3 months. Wow.”
“I know,” they pulled away both of them were about to cry but neither of them brought it up, “try not to miss me too much.
“Impossible,” they hugged one last time and went to bed before either of them actually cried.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next
Wow. Part 3. I actually am starting to really like how this is turning out. I really think you guys will LOVE the next two parts. End of part 4-beginning of part 5 is kinda sad ngl.

Headcanon Review: Trans Vergil
Hello everybody. Welcome to the Hoard.
Today marks a new segment to my blog, Headcanon Review, which is sort of like Headcanon Theatre, but instead of me going over my own headcanons I’m giving my thoughts on popular headcanons in my various fandoms. And we’re starting off with a bang.
So, Vergil being transmasc. What do I think of it? Beautiful! Five Stars! Peak! But. I don’t think very many people think about the full implications of Vergil being transmasc. Ahem.
Implication #1: Dante is also transmasc. (Or else fem or afab nonbinary, but for the sake of the poor hamster running the brain hamster wheel I will only refer to Transmasc Dante for the rest of the post. You my put your own thoughts on Fem and NB Dante in the tags.) Well, I guess you could change it so they’re fraternal rather than identical, but where’s the fun in that? We can have more than one Transmasc boy in the Sparda Clan! (Sneakily slides in Transmasc Nero for peak Family Bonding.)
Implication #2 (tied into Implication #1): Depending on how old they were when they had their Trans realization, These two dorks named themselves as a literary reference! Come on, that is twin wholesomeness and comedy gold right there.
Implication #3 (again tied into #1): These two idiots most likely did their own top surgeries. Double most likely with their own swords. Bonus points for Vergil judging Dante for it only to have Dante immediately turn it back around on him and tease him relentlessly for the hypocrisy.
Implication #4 (and likely the biggest one here from a fic writing standpoint): Vergil would have been the one pregnant with Nero (a popular headcanon on it’s own and thus will also be getting my thoughts on it here). Guys, from what I’ve observed of Vergil’s reaction to finding out Nero is his son, I don’t think most of what went down in the series would have gone down the same way if Vergil knew about Nero from the start, and he definitely would if he was the one carrying Nero. Temen-ni-gru might have happened, but I don’t think Vergil would have fallen into hell, at least not without telling Dante where Nero was. And Vergil sure as hell wouldn’t have willingly left Nero in Fortuna. So yeah, more Momgil staying in the human world to raise Nero with Uncle Dante please.

Part 3- Continental Breakfast
Free HBO. Always a good sign. Dani looked over at Seebs, curled up in the passenger seat around a bag of Fritos, and resolved to lie about him if they asked. She parked next to the front office and stretched after getting out of the car, putting a foot against the hood and bending each knee until she heard a dull little pop of relief.
She had been on the road for more than a day. The apartment in Chevette was clean, and for the most part intact- save for her tape tower, an old oversized Army duffel, and Seebs's bag with all his goodies. They broke west across Texas, took the I-40 through Albuquerque, and finally limped to a stop in a little town called Eureka.
She paid for her room with cash- single queen, for the week, no guests- and eased into #14, at the far end of the low, long building. No bedbugs, no bibles. Off to a good start. She set her walkman on the edge of the sink, turned the volume all the way up, and undressed as Thin Lizzy tinnily shook out of her discarded headphones.
Her teeth didn't hurt anymore, but she squinted at herself in the mirror, frowning around them. It was a good thing she smoked- the carbon graying at the edges would be a lot more conspicuous on a perfect, Hollywood smile. Everything in her life would have to be some sort of coverup now, even the little details had to do their part. She was leaving a lot behind, and had to leave the marks behind too, as much as she could.
No Chattanooga. No Chevette. No apartment.
No Wilson Titlee- You deserve it!
Fear was getting in the way of any catharsis she wanted. She hadn't been pursued as she ran away. She bought a police scanner about thirty miles out of Chevette and plugged it into the cigarette lighter, but they weren't talking about her.
It wasn't something to take for granted, but as long as she didn't hear her name- or, god forbid, Mark LaGrange- she could keep her cool.
She sat on the bed with Seebs and flipped through the channels. Crab fishing on the Discovery Channel, green wireframe models getting obliterated on Animal Planet, an expedition to find the Antarctic's secret Nazis on the History Channel.
She shook her head, flipped to Comedy Central, and let out a sigh of relief as she heard Richard Pryor yelling to an audience about the time he set himself on fire while freebasing. Sometimes comfort came from the strangest places. Didn't he star with Gene Wilder in Stir Crazy?
Oh man, I should watch Blazing Saddles again.
She made a mental note to rent a handful of Mel Brooks films the next time she found a video store.
She frowned.
...In 2020. Riiiiiight.
It was nice to have small problems. The annoyances kept her from thinking about how she evaporated a coworker. But there were other questions.
Could she do it again?
Could she control it?
Could she trigger it on purpose?
Really, could she do it again?
That was the part that made her nervous. It was like eating for the first time, then finding out what it's like to be hungry. She didn't think she wanted to make a habit out of killing Mark LaGrange, but there was something about that moment, when she became this single-minded, literal conflagration, like distilled water brought to a boil and reacting all at once. She wanted that, over and over again until the world was out of ways to abuse her.
She pet Seebs with one hand and ate her way through a vending machine honey bun with the other.
The thing was, she wasn't ambiently mad. That was always the thing- she didn't carry around a vendetta, she didn't stew for too long, she didn't want revenge on a society that let her down. In the moment, mouth full of honey bun, watching a commercial for erectile dysfunction medicine while waiting for another standup special to start, she didn't have a bone to pick with anyone.
The incandescent, pressurized fury that had turned Mark LaGrange into a pile of thin black ash wasn't a spirit of vengeance possessing her for the sake of a momentary flash of justice. The universe didn't much care to write its own wrongs like that. What had she felt when she opened her mouth, and everything fell apart?
I was trying to apologize.
At around two in the morning, she wandered over to the sidewalk by the office and helped herself to a newspaper. The Eureka Star was surely the authority on all things local- and it was prudent to keep a positive cash flow. Y'know, if you ever need to cross the country overnight, change your name and address, and remain employable.
Ugh, employable. Always had to be worth something to someone.
She flipped through the obits and weather, nodding at this or that until she got to the personal ads. Even in a town with four or so hundred people, someone always needed something done.
Landscaping, furniture movers, security... might be nice to work outside for a change.
Line cook, custodian- great jobs that were greater if you were high. She was not. She was in the middle of her teens when Nancy Reagan started her "Just Say No" campaign- which hadn't put her off the prospect, but had made the cops even worse about it. She didn't need that kind of attention right now.
Three pages in, past "Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me" and a cluster of want-ads for houses in need of painting and odd-jobs needing doing, she found an entry that she had to re-read several times.
"Coyote del Rey in need of crowd control detail for one night event. Partial pay up-front. Call 728-1856 ask for Rubén."
Vague, but vague was good. Get a job nobody wants to talk about, and they'll throw the cops off your scent for the sake of burying whatever they're doing.
She circled the entry with a ballpoint pen and turned in for the night. Deciding that watching endless commercials for commemorative coins would rot Seebs's brain, she flipped over to the SciFi network to let Rod Serling's dulcet tones serenade them to sleep.
Ooh, Walking Distance. Wasn't Gig Young in Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia? The critics really ripped that one to shreds, but good pulp is good pulp...
Meandering thoughts like that bounced back and forth across the inside of her head until she drifted off. Tomorrow she would get in touch with Rubén, and after collecting, she'd get on the road again. Canada came to mind, but maybe Mexico. If you're fleeing, you want to flee across as many borders as you can, she reasoned.
She hadn't set an alarm. God knows she deserved to sleep in after all she'd been through. But sometime around 9am, when the east Nevada sun was comfortably up over the horizon, something banged against her door.
Oh no. Come on.
"Who's there?" She tried to sound dangerous, but she was hardly awake. She leaned against the door and peered through the peephole.
A beakish nose filled her fisheye field of vision for a moment, and when it pulled back she saw a short young man with black hair and a sullen, irritated expression.
"Housekeeping," he grunted. She opened the door a crack.
"Sorry, kid. I'm good for now."
"That's alright," he replied. "I didn't want to do it."
He shuffled along, and Dani chuckled as she locked up again. Must be the owner's kid on some kind of punishment detail. Pushing a mop to build character, maybe.
Sounded a little too familiar. She shook her head sympathetically and started the coffee maker.
"You remember Duck Soup, Seebs? Groucho Marx, probably, uh... early thirties? The mirror scene, the sidecar gags..." She poured herself a cup and sat on the edge of the bed.
"It's the sword of Damocles, y'know? Come sit on the throne and see if you like it- by the way, you could be skewered at any second."
Seebs rolled over onto his back, and Dani scratched his belly. She laughed as she watched him restrain himself, bicycling back feet stopping abruptly as soon as they made contact with her hand.
"If I can get a grip on this thing, I can stop being the one in the hot seat, and start being the sword. Anyone wanting my help, they'd be on their best behavior if they thought I might... y'know, hit 'em with the atomic breath."
She watched Seebs roll over, and scratched between his ears. "Is that emotional blackmail?" She took a deep drink and raised her eyebrows, looking into his amber eyes for a real answer.
Man, what isn't?

Asexual!Q x Female!Reader: Logical Fallacy [Ch. 19]
Tumblr media
Summary: Q’s got one hundred and two problems. His girlfriend is, technically speaking, every single one.
Challenge:  “102 Things A Guy Should Know About Girls” challenge by Miss Chocobo on Lunaescence Archives.
Ratings/Warnings/Tags: T (foul language; sexual references; asexual!Q; sexual!reader; a running gag about sexual harassment; double standard: sexual harassment, female on male; sexual harassment played for comedy; James Bond & Reader friendship; civilian!reader; artist!reader; complicated family relationships; reader has a really big family; miscommunications; MI6 would not behave this way in reality; set post-Skyfall; joking references made to Bond/Q)
Pairings: Q/Female!Reader; James Bond/Eve Moneypenny
Tag List: @imaginesfire; @rory-cakes​
Master List
Rule #19: Remember: Girls are pretty, but yours is the prettiest!
Two days later, Bond killed the cause of the security breach, and you were released. Not without any sort of ado, of course; MI6 wanted a full debriefing. That wasn't even getting into your not-so-little breakdown, which in M’s opinion warranted a complete psychological exam before he could feel safe in releasing you into the general public. Needless to say, this hadn’t exactly put you in the best state of confidence for your first meeting with head of the entire program.
Q couldn’t help much with that. All he could do was walk you to M’s office door, then give your hand a gentle squeeze as you walked inside. He could feel your pulse pounding as he did so, but he couldn’t even offer you a smile before the door snapped shut and the light above it flashed on.
“You’ll be fine,” he muttered to no one. 
Even Miss Moneypenny was away at the moment. Q was left all alone, with nothing but the painting behind her desk to distract him from his nerves. In a fit of anxiousness, he paced over to the corner water cooler and poured himself a cup. It wasn't tea, but in this case it would have to do.
“Knock knock.”
Q very nearly jumped out of his skin. Given the impossibility of such a situation, though, he only managed to spill water down his front. Of course, there was Bond, sidling into the room, looking bruised but cocky–and, as usual, pleased to be present to see Q embarrass himself.
“007,” Q spluttered as he attempted in vain to dry himself off with nothing but the bottom of his jumper. “What are you doing back already?”
“I caught an early flight back into London,” Bond answered. He placed his hands in his pockets and nodded his head once toward M’s door. “Is [Name] in there? Eve said she wasn’t looking too well earlier.”
The water wasn’t coming out. Q dropped his jumper and gave a shaky nod, his own eyes too jittery to focus for long on any one thing inside the office himself. He swiped an arm across his chin to get the dripping to stop. “M wanted to debrief her. Not that she really knows anything, I don’t think. But for procedure's sake, I suppose.”
Bond seemed to sense Q’s own trepidation, which had only been worsened by all those recent sleepless nights. He clapped Q once on the back–with a little too much force, but Q didn’t have it in him to glower this time. 
“M will treat her fine. He knows she’s not an employee, or a threat,” said Bond.
“I assumed as much.” Q took off his glasses and rubbed his fists into his eyelids. “It’s just the exhaustion talking. He’ll let her go in a bit and she’ll head home.” 
A ragged thought drifted through Q’s head: And then, this time, you might even break up with him. Normally he would have voiced such a thought aloud; it helped his snarky demeanor considerably. But this time it was true, and he was surprised by the ache in his chest at the thought.
The man next to him nodded slowly, then leaned one shoulder on the wall. “She’s a pretty woman, your girlfriend.”
The ache grew deeper; Q felt his blood run slightly cold. When he looked up at Bond’s face, he had to work his tongue several times to unstick it enough for speech. Even then, he was quite sure the horror in his voice was plain. “Did you sleep with her?”
Why the thought bothered him so much, Q couldn’t say, except that in this case he couldn’t blame the exhaustion. He’d worried about it before dropping you off, after all. But he knew that Bond had slept with damn near every woman in the office, and that didn’t bother him. It didn’t bother him that Bond and Miss Moneypenny certainly acted as though they slept together all the time, whether or not they actually had. But with you, it was different. And he couldn’t put his finger on why.
The casual smirk Bond threw Q didn’t help matters. “Are you jealous, Q?”
Q broke eye contact and cleared his throat. “No. I–Of course not. I just wondered if that should be mentioned to the psychologist. I wouldn’t want [Name] failing because there were facts deliberately left out of the background details.”
He heard Bond shift away from the wall then walk over to Miss Moneypenny's desk, probably to look at the pictures she had set up there. Q didn’t look behind him to see for sure. But maybe Bond wasn’t doing that, as he said, “As I was saying, your girlfriend is pretty. And she made it quite plain she wasn’t going to sleep with me as soon as she set foot inside my flat.” There was a laugh in Bond’s voice, barely concealed. 
For once, Q couldn’t even be bothered that Bond was making fun of him. He turned. “Really?”
Bond grinned. “I think she’s a little in love with you.”
A smile flitted across Q’s face, but it couldn’t stay for long. The next moment, he was serious again, and his tired eyes found the light above M’s door. “I hope it stays that way,” he said quietly. 
Bond nodded. “For your sake, I hope so, too.”

Danny and Adam having fun with Jewish/Yiddish folk (and possibly some Georgian for Adam)?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Playlist 1  -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-  Playlist 2
Tumblr media
....this got out of hand.
Playlist 1 is packed full of Jewish protest songs, folk from the Caucasus, and Theremin takes on the classics. Potential TW: it’s been reported that Spotify’s autoplay algorithm has followed this playlist up with Bettina Wegner’s song in memory of those killed in camps during the Shoah. If you want to avoid Spotify triggering you with its helpful suggestions, make sure you switch off Autoplay (link gives a how to).
Playlist 2 is founded on Jewish musicians, but includes other things that are just Vibes for these characters. It’s perhaps a bit easier to listen to if you just want background bops.
I’ll pop a bit of context under the cut, but feel like I’ve probably done enough here. 🤐
FCs are: Billy Mackenzie (from the Dundee band The Associates) and Jonathan Richman, Adam 1 & 2 respectively; actors Freddie Fox and Maya Hawke, Danny 1 & 2, respectively.
For anyone reading this who’s new to the AU, Adam’s family are Jewish emigres from Soviet Georgia, and Danny is a runaway non-binary Rabbi’s child.
By and large, these are ‘period-appropriate’, though I snuck a few mid-’90s things in, notably Tofa’ah (1), because it’s such catchy Jewish pop and, well, you can talk of the ‘long 1980s’ in terms of style, right...? The Divine Comedy (2) is really a QP vibe, but wasn’t released until the early ‘90s, and Neil Hannon’s archness fits Adam and Danny well too.
A lot of the Yiddish folk on 1 has probably been done in a more palatable-to-modern-ears style by people like Daniel Kahn & the Painted Bird, but this playlist proves there were compilations available by the 1980s! The Anon tracks are from a compilation of music of the Caucasian Mountain Jews released in Israel, so not strictly from the Georgian Jewish community in Mtskheta, but the musical style is probably pretty similar, it has enough in common with Georgian folk already.
While Danny has some Yiddish, and both have some Hebrew, I think the music in 1 is mostly stuff that has formed the background to who they are - they can belt out the big songs at family gatherings, are delighted when they find any overlap in what they know, but by and large it’s not what they play. Again, except for Adam at family gatherings, when it’s insisted upon.
Yes, Playlist 2 starts with a Joy Division track. Musically, I think Adam is a big fan, though if he’s playing covers he probably goes out of his way to have a bit of very Jewish patter with Danny first, for the audience’s sake, just to put the music in context (among a number of ‘80s bands, Joy Division made use of N*zi aesthetics, and, well there’s that band name). But I think Adam and Danny are the kind of people who would see some naive kids mucking about with ‘edgy’ imagery like that and go ‘yoink! We’re having your music then!’
Golden Brown (2), not Jewish, but Adam does have that history of drug abuse. There’s a fair bit from French Jewish artists on 2 as well: Barbara, Sapho, Marcel Dadi and Jean-Jacques Goldman, all of which will be Danny favourites (Danny worked in kitchens in Paris at some point while playing woodwind in various jazz cafés). T’Pau is also there for Danny - I was reminded that it’s actually a song about Frankenstein (no, really), and I thought that might resonate with Danny and creating their own identity on leaving home. Aquarium is for Adam though - the band got in trouble at Tbilisi rock festival in the early ‘80s for making lewd moves with their instruments.

Leverage Redemption Log: The Great Train Job
*rhytmic chanting* Train Heist, Train Heist, Train Heist! --- Two Men (wether partners in business or life) talk about their rough times right now. They'll get through it. Angry mob with baseballs (yeah, this is definitly a Homophobia thing.)
Man, i know the name is meant to evoke that "old west movie with a trainheist" idea but did they really need to twirl that stache? --- half of their crops lost to a blight. Now hatecrimes. Hatecrime, and poison. Add in the name: Its a land thing, the railway company is trying to steal their land. --- Parker is taking the victims to the Ritz, "bet you its cobalt poisoning" Elliots shock that the new the deskjockey-lawyer can identify the poison.
Redemption list. (Yacht debacle) Prop reuse, Whitcomb is holding that generator-thingy from the in the OG series where they almost made a guy jump off a roof because they full-on inceptioned him. Thought I wouldnt notice, but I did. Parker isnt even here to see the briefing but she senses from across town that there is a rare, limited-edition novelty safe and instantly parachutes across town.
Im sorry Sophie, why are we giving this guy benefit of the doubt? --- Parker robs an old lady for a ticket. (which is a problem cause we already had tickets)
For some reason our heroes are afraid of bachelorette parties. --- Guys guilty (why did we bother with the giving LegallyNotElon the benefit of the doubt thing again?) Harry is creeping Elliot out. (Are you a serial killer? You legally have to tell me if you are)
In the Secretary of States defense, most US Secretaries ought to be at the Hague.
Oh no, Breanna is atracted to Yoo. (and just to hammer down this is a musk thing, "in a world of Edisons, she's a Tesla"). Oh, Hitlers Home away from Home...
Well this episode is definitly gonna be an awkward watch (I do not like cringe comedy)
--- Back with Harry the Prepper. Its time for some protected suits. (its battery prototypes) ---
On the train she flirts with the Nazi. Eye-scanner. No parker, the schematics arent inside the safe because they dont exist. The safe probably contains his 1th edition signed copy of Mein Kampf. (im only partially joking there)
Yeah this guy knows nothing, "Watt Kilogram" is not a unit produced by a battery. (he could be thinking of Kilowatt, as in a thousand Watt. Or Watt per Kilogram which is power/weigth ratio in mechanics but he's stitching buzzwords together badly). That thing puts the "Prop" in "proprietary". Its a scam to convince the investors to give him money for a product he doesnt have yet.
Put the world back in order... Parker is IN. --- We're back at the farm, and with 2 episodes to go (one of which named for Harry) its time to emphasize how far he's come.
Parker is angry the vault is empty (cause he's a brainless dimwit.)
The team has caught up to the blatantly obvious. "well arent you glad i brought a plastic tarp and ducttape" can you stop the Serialkiller Shit?
Time for Breanna to do a Sophie...
Phase 2 is a go. --- Are the mounties gonna be a problem? Cause it seems to me that this is another "Parker just takes the roof" situation.
And Sophie finally figured out where the Stanley Cup went. Turns out, they have juristiction (note; Its weird for Breanna to be the one saying this, this feels like a Harry line), also where did Breanna's Date go?
Breanna does not like being in the room full of literal Nazi's. --- Harry is riding away with the evidence while Elliot prepares for some White-Supremacist Punching, time for elliot to dine at the all-you-can-beat buffet.
Racist Mjolnir (lets be clear, with the amount of white supremacists that identify with vikings... thats just regular Mjolnir)
How did you get this? "word salad".
And the Nazi has entered his room. --- Harry, we all want to hit nazi's with a car sometime but for gods sake dont do it with a car that has pedestrian detection.
Harry does not hanle adrenaline well.
Oh just one Wired-article is all it takes for Karl to get his fascist-ass spartan-kicked off the train.

Hello cookie, congratulations on 700! For the event, can I plz ask for domestic headcanons for the bleach captains? If not that's ok! Thank you!
Of course! Enjoy!
Shunsui Kyouraku
Tumblr media
Shunsui is at the age where he no longer plays around in a relationship. He's in it until the end, or not at all. He insists on open an honest communication and on being able to talk differences out like adults instead of screaming at each other like two stubborn teenagers.
He will do pretty much anything you ask him to do in the house. Captain or not, you shouldn't be the only one keeping your house clean and organized.
Waking up with a bad mood when living together with Shunsui is impossible. He prefers to have you in his arms when going to sleep, and he will hold on to you throughout the night. When he wakes up, he'll stay as still as possible until you wake up. Then it's time for morning kisses and cuddles.
Shunsui enjoys stargazing with you in the garden, accompanied by a nice bottle of sake and some snacks. He'll have his arms around you, or even have you sitting on his lap if you're comfortable with that, just so he can comfortably hug you and still watch the stars.
Juushiro Ukitake
Tumblr media
Due to his illness, Juushiro can't do all that much in the house on bad days. On good days though, he likes to take the opportunity to cook for you. He enjoys is and is very good at making typical home-food. Nothing fancy or exotic, but the kind of things that are nutritious and make you feel happy.
Juushiro enjoys being near you more than anything. It doesn't matter if you two are doing different things in the same room, as long as you are near him and sometimes look up to smile at him, he will be happy. This is why he insists on getting a house with an open kitchen.
He also likes to decorate the house with lots of potted plants. Flowers to brighten up the room, some herbs for in the kitchen to cook with, and some bonsai trees for him to occupy himself with on days when he can't leave his bed.
He really enjoys you combing his hair, and if possible, he will gladly return the favour. Ideally, he'll sit in front of a big mirror when you do so, so he can look you in the eyes though the mirror as he talks to you. You can style his hair pretty much anyway you want.
Bakuya Kuchiki
Tumblr media
Byakuya does what he can to be a good boyfriend/husband, but he is and will always be a noble. Things like housework is done by the servants, not by him. This counts for you too, of course. You won't need to lift a finger. He won't really understand if you want to do certain things in the house anyway (be it for the sake of control or just because you like something), but he'll let you.
Well-taught as he is, Byakuya wouldn’t be able to cook a meal if his life depended on it. He never learned how to cook, and he has no intention of learning it either.
Despite his busy schedule, he tries to have dinner with you every night. It’s not always possible, and sometimes when it is he has to go back to finish work afterwards, but he wants to make some time for you every day.
He will often get you little gifts. Flowers, chocolates, jewellery… Sometimes because he saw them and thought of you, sometimes just because he wanted to spoil you a little. Whenever he has something to apologise for, like for example not being able to make it to dinner with you, he gets you something as well.
Unohana, Shinji, Yoruichi, Urahara, Toshiro, Soi-Fohn and Kenpachi below the cut!
Retsu Unohana
Tumblr media
Retsu's house is full of plants, and it wouldn't be complete without a garden as well. Most plants that she grows have some kind of medicinal properties, or can be used to make a nice, calming cup of tea. Teatime is a must, and if the weather allows it, she prefers to have it in her garden.
The plants are pretty much the only bright colours in the house. Aside from those, everything is in soft colours so the plants really pop out. There's also very little dark colours in the house, she prefers everything to be light. Big windows/windows that cover a complete wall are a must.
Retsu insists on no shoes in the house. They are left at the door and changed for indoor slippers or socks. No. Dirty. Shoes. In. The. House.
Marriage is no big deal for Retsu. If you want to get married, she'll be on board, but if you don't want to, she's just as fine with that as well. She appreciates the symbolism but at the end of the day, that's all marriage is. She doesn't need a piece of paper to tell people that she loves you and that she wants to spend the rest of her life with you.
Shinji Hirako
Tumblr media
Shinji loves teasing you and once you live in the same house, that just gets worse. His terribly cheesy sense of humor is also still a daily occurrence. Yes, even when you're in a bad mood. Especially when you're in a bad mood.
Shinji is very lazy when it comes to his household. He'll make sure it's clean enough to not get sick from living in his own trash and dirt, but he'll push his chores off a lot and he'll leave his stuff lying around throughout the house. If you're a person who likes a clean and/or tidy house, you'll either have to kick his ass or clean up after him.
Surprise kisses. They happen a lot in general, just when he feels like it, but especially when you're in a video chat. He thinks it's hilarious to have your friends/family/co-workers think you have a perfect and loving boyfriend/husband, while he's actually a cheeky little bastard.
He leaves little notes throughout the house when he leaves. Some are sweet, some are jokes. He'll put them in the fridge, on the toilet, inside the shower, on his pillow,… anywhere he knows you'll come.
Yoruichi Shihoin
Tumblr media
There is one night of the week dedicated to movie night and takeout. Both the eating and watching the movie will be done in bed. No, this is not up for debate. Lazy movie nights in bed are a must.
Be prepared for this woman wearing little to no clothes when she's home. She doesn't give a damn if people see her naked or not, and you're living together anyway, who cares if she's naked? Clothes are for going outside and for when visitors come over.
She loves taking baths or showers together as well, and not (necessarily) in a suggestive way. It's just a nice way to relax together, ‘and it saves water, right? *wink wink*’
She's actually a pretty good cook, at least when it comes to comfort food. When either of you are in a bad mood she'll step into the kitchen and make some of the best comfort food you've ever had. Which will then, of course, be eaten on the couch or in bed, in front of the tv, with a comfort movie.
Her favourite movies are comedies and romcoms. Anything that'll give her a good laugh is fine.
Kisuke Urahara
Tumblr media
Another very laid-back person to live with. There is no rush at all when living with this man, with anything. He's the type of person to be at least a little late to every party or meeting because he just wanted to take his time and get ready in a relaxed way.
Don't let him take care of plants. He is the worst plant dad and they will die. Only cacti survive, and even those will struggle to do so.
Kisuke moves around in his sleep a lot and will steal the covers. A good way to remedy this is to use his chest as a pillow, he'll barely move at all then. Does the pressure on his chest really keep him still, or did he move around a lot on purpose as an excuse to get to you cuddle up to him at night? You will never know.
This man is very clingy. It doesn't matter what you're doing, he wants to have his arms around you. You're cooking? His arms are around your waist. You're trying to clean up? Good luck. His favourite moment is when you're both watching tv though. He'll pull you as close to possible to cuddle up on the couch.
Toshiro Hitsugaya
Tumblr media
Toshiro has the windows open all-year round in his bedroom. Even when it is freezing outside, he'll want to open the windows for some fresh air as he sleeps, so he doesn't wake up in that stuffy sleep air that gets stuck in bedrooms. This does give a great excuse for cuddling while sleeping though.
He'll get you flowers every week, on the same day. It's a habit, one he doesn't want to miss. It's his way of reminding you that he cares, even though he's usually very busy with his work as a captain.
He'll agree a schedule with you to do chores in the house, just to make sure it all gets done and nothing gets forgotten. Of course, he helps in the house as well.
If you're not a fighter, Toshiro will want a dog in the house to protect you. Toshiro is very good at training dogs, as he is already used to being a leader and giving orders, and this dog will be the sweetest thing until either you or him give it the command to attack. He really counts on the dog to protect you when he cannot.
Soi-Fohn
Tumblr media
Soi-Fohn will decorate her home in a minimalistic way. The colours don't jump out at you and there is just enough decoration to make it feel homely without having trinkets and pictures all over the place. Her home basically radiates calm and is so clean you'd almost wonder if she cleaned every day.
She sleeps with a lot of blankets. During the night she will want to say warm and she'll get closer to any source of warmth, which usually is you.
You need but say the word and Soi-Fohn will help you out with whatever she can in the house. Grocery shopping, the dishes, the laundry,… you name it. She will also start doing things without saying it if she notices you are a little overwhelmed.
She REALLY wants a cat. She loves the little creatures and has always wanted one of her own, but due to her often being away from home for extended periods of time, she never got one. If you've got a job that allows you to go home every day, she'll definitely bring it up.
Of het days off, she likes to cook something for you. She's actually a pretty good cook, though she rarely has the time to prepare something special for you.
Kenpachi Zaraki
Tumblr media
Kenpachi is oddly clingy when you're home. He loves you, so he wants to be around you. Preferably have an arm around you. He's not shy about admitting it either. Why should he be? He wants to hold you. He's your boyfriend/husband. It's only normal.
He is the easiest guy ever to cook for. As long as you have made it, Kenpachi will eat about anything. Doesn't matter if you burnt it a little, doesn't matter if it's something he usually doesn't like. If you made it, he will eat it.
His favourite food is BBQ though, and when you eat BBQ he's the one making it. It's about the only thing he can cook, but that meat is prepared perfectly. He'll wear an apron will some stupid BBQ-related pun on it whenever he's doing so.
Kenpachi needs a dog in the house to play with, to get rid of that excess energy of his. It's likely a breed that's generally seen as dangerous, like a Pitbull. The dog is the absolute sweetest thing though, wouldn't harm a fly, and it loves playing fetch.
Kenpachi lets his dog sleep on his bed, which will cause some funny moments while trying to cuddle because the dog wants in on the affection too.

ASL Reacting to a Celestial Dragon Wanting Their S/O
Tumblr media
Anonymous requested: Could do hc's for ALS reacting to some Celestial dragon being like "this is my spouse now" and pointing at their S/O but like their S/O deadass, without any hesitation says "oh ew" and then just BOLTS
THIS WAS FUNNY TO IMAGINE- The was a great request and I loved writing it so much. Thank you for sending it in Anon and I hope you enjoy it!
Ace, Sabo, Luffy x Reader (Gender-Neutral/Nonbinary)
Warnings: Just fluff and comedy and a creepy Celestial Dragon
Words: 675
-
Portgas D. Ace-
Ace is already very protective of his significant other because if he is with you that means he trusts you and you actually make him feel safe
So if anyone threatens that you bet he will not back down from that
However, in this case, if it is a Celestial Dragon- I can’t imagine him ignoring that. They are bad news all around but he does need to think about what happens if he acts, what Whitebeard will say to that
That is until the Celestial Dragon points right at you and says “Take that one. I want them to be my next spouse”
Suddenly- Just like that, Ace can’t think straight nor see straight
He is about to whip out some flames but then you immediately answer that Celestial Dragon
You very loudly and without any hesitance whatsoever make a face and say “ew- full offense intended but screw that”
Then you just run for it
Everyone is flabbergasted
How did you have the guts to do that?
Ace is the first to laugh and feel his anger soothe by your response- He could just leave but of course, he needs to take care of the Celestial Dragon who will put a bounty on you after that and give a message to the world that the Whitebeard Pirates are not to be messed around with and no one messes with his significant other
Sabo-
Sabo hates the thought of you going on missions by yourself so he tends to follow his gut feeling which would lead to this scenario-
Only you would have the luck of running into a Celestial Dragon and having them “fall” for you
Sabo finds that a bit irritating, but he is also immensely proud since you are his significant other and he is pretty much like “Yeah- I don’t blame you for liking them. They are pretty great.”
Much like Ace, Sabo will instantly be unable to think, shrouded with anger and the need to abolish the Celestial Dragon then and there
However, his situation will depend on if you and he are undercover
If you are, he will have to hold off for the sake of not blowing the mission and your reaction is ew and running, he has to follow you to help you avoid the guards the Celestial Dragon sends your way
If you aren’t- Then he will not care, he will go out of the way to make sure the Celestial Dragon knows who he is and not to mess with his partner
It is only after he completely abolished the Celestial Dragon that he realizes that you said ew and ran off- He will smile at this and tease you about it later finding your reaction very fitting
Luffy-
He really does not possess the jealous trait (unless food is involved lol)
So when he sees the Celestial Dragon point at you and demand you marry him then and there he will just tilt his head like a lost puppy and go “(Name) you know them?”
LFKDJALFKSA ALL JOKES ASIDE, after he realizes that you do not know him and your immediate reaction was saying “ew” and running away the boy will start howling with laughter at the embarrassment/anger the Celestial Dragon feels (and worsens as Luffy laughs)
After the good laughing moment- If the Celestial Dragon says anything about harming you Luffy will flip the switch and get serious
He then does that amazing, you know, the crazy-eyed look that tells his opponents that they done for before saying “Sorry- Can’t have them that’s my partner”
It all takes but a few seconds to knock the Celestial Dragon out- It is not the first time he had to deal with these monsters
He does not care about hearing what other people say so it is witnesses that spread the word of what happened
Once Luffy finds you again he will just smile at you before suggesting to go eat or something
Another day another chance for food in his eyes

Y'all suck at dissecting Kai's character, so I guess I have to do it.
And I'm not even a Kai stan. He's a bottom tier ninja for me, which I guess means you can trust me, cuz I'm not biased, but also why am I the one doing this? I don't know about y'all, but recently on my dash, the method by which Kai fans try to make him sound good is... saying the writers hate him, ignore him, and that he isn't written well? Which... I mean there is a little bit of truth to, but like yikes guys, is this the best you got? Kai is a wonderful character with plenty of attention from the writers, a meaningful piece of the cast when put in secondary rolls, fairly consistent character writing with actual progression and valuable qualities that help the team without having to be the smart one- despite what some posts might tell you.
Let's get one thing cleared up: Ninjago isn't the best written show. By high level Hollywood standards, most the character arcs are kinda weak or too heavy handed, character consistency can be iffy, and most things serve the plot rather than the characters. There is no character you can point to and say "wow, this character is written so well! No complaints!" Nya and Jay were butchered by their weird love plot, Cole's one season doesn't actually give him an arc, Zane's been nothing but the robot numbers guy for like 10 seasons now, and Lloyd seems to be incapable of doing anything but relive the same one piece of dad angst for depth. Sorry, it's true. All the characters suck when you look at it from a large scale writing perspective. So when I say Kai is well written, I mean by ninjago kids show standards- cuz that's the scale we're working on. No, you couldn't drop Kai into a well written drama, but as far as ninjago goes... he's got a lot going for him, and by no means is he the biggest victim of poor writing.
(fair warning, wall of text below)
The title is a bit disingenuous. There are plenty of good Kai character break downs. What I am presenting here is a more positive perspective. On the whole, I will tend to give the writers the benefit of the doubt, and credit for what they do right writing is hard guys. That's what I'm doing here. I don't see much sense in getting mad the writers on behalf of Kai, or any other character. Ninjago is a simplistic ensemble show that works because of the identifiable simplicity of its main characters with some deeper layers hidden underneath if you keep watching. They've given us a damn good show with some damn enjoyable characters, so here are some criticisms I feel are a little flawed:
First, let's get the 'focus' thing out of the way. Apparently there are people saying Kai doesn't have a season yet? Which... what? I mean, I get that the pilots aren't a full season, the first two seasons, though he is the central protagonist, aren't "Kai seasons" as we've come to define ninja focus seasons, season 7, though he gets majority focus, he shares with his sister. But like... did y'all just forget about season 4? You know, the season where he had the title card, was on the box sets, got the love interest, and the majority of the A-plot? not to mention it's the best season don't @ me Like... if season 4 isn't a Kai season, I can make a damn good argument that season 3 isn't a Zane season, and I doubt anyone wants to go down that rabbit hole. I really can't wrap my head around this one. And I get that the fandom hates season 11 for some reason, but like you can't just pretend it doesn't exist. Kai has a consistent arc across 30 episodes in which he takes his powers for granted, loses them, and learns that, not only does he have value within the team without them, but that his element is intrinsically a part of him that he reclaims, bringing them back more powerful than ever, and with new respect for them. That's one of the most solid arcs in the whole series- the location is even thematically connected to his element. That's some good stuff right there! (Quick plug for season 11 if you haven't watched it in a while. Give it a rewatch, you might be pleasantly surprised)
Not to mention the writers give him fun side stuff all the time. Lots of fears of tech and water to overcome, a deep protective streak with Lloyd, becoming a chancellor, having a true potential actually relevant to the plot as a whole, blacksmith responsibilities, befriending dragons, hanging out with his dad. Not to mention actual focus stuff we haven't talked about yet, like his whole "my dad is evil" phase, and his "I might be evil" phase with him and Skylor. And on top of that, even when he doesn't have an explicit side plot, he's always just a fun and dynamic side character to make jokes or give exposition.
Now, into character stuff. Let's start with Kai's hot headed-ness. Some people say he's been loosing this quality, and I will admit, that's true! But those that claim this makes him inconsistent... I strongly disagree. In early seasons, Kai's temper would lead him to snap at his friends or make stupid decisions that set the team back (see episode 2 Zane freak out)- these are bad things. These are character flaws, yes? Now, in newer seasons, people say that he's inconsistent, cuz sometimes he'll be hot headed, and sometimes he won't. I'd say, this is exactly how being hot headed... works? It flares up without warning, and as an individual gets control of it, it'll pop up less and less often because they're channeling it into productive things - like say directing the anger towards an enemy (see season 11 end freak out). Kai has gained control of a character flaw, and though it still pops up on occasion, the fact that it's a once in a while kind of thing speaks to his growth. I have a little brother who has this exact personality, and watching him grow up, I can tell you, this is how it is. He used to snap all the time, and he still does sometimes, but much less frequently, because he's a more mature person with better control of his emotions. This is a good thing. This is overcoming personal flaws. This is progression we're seeing.
And while you're hyper focused on this one aspect of him, things like his cocky confidence haven't changed a bit. I mean, that season 3 bit between him and Pixal, and his season 11 "fire maker" streak have the exact same energy. You can not convince me otherwise.
Another adjacent quality that hasn't been dampened is Kai's impulsiveness. This can be a good quality of his, he'll get into a fight without thinking, getting the jump on the enemy. Good stuff. But, this has become such a well defined trait of Kai's that it has been used in a comedic capacity. This is what happens when a character is extremely consistent to the extent that both the audience and the characters in universe would be able to predict their actions. Kai's impulsivity used to be a more serious quality that put himself and others at risk, and was a big power move whenever he did something rash, but it's become such a staple of the show that it's now being used for comedy. That isn't Kai's impulsivity going away, that's Kai's impulsivity being recontextualized for the sake of the show. The season 9 "Who's stupid enough to jump on that thing" isn't a joke at the expense of Kai just for being dumb, it's a joke at Kai's being so predictably impulsive that everyone already knows he'll be the one to put himself in an insane amount of danger without thinking twice (you know, something stupid that might get him killed). But because in this instance, the danger is warranted, this is bravery. It's a complement to his character- it's what ends up defeating the colossus. Why are some people so bothered by this joke?
Oh right, cuz for some reason people want to peg Kai as the smart one? Look, Kai isn't stupid, none of the ninja are. All of them have smart moments (all of them have dumb ones too) and Kai can certainly handle himself, but "smart" is definitely not one of his defining characteristics- I think some people are confusing smart for his actual strength. Connected to his impulsivity, Kai has very good simplistic instincts. He sees the big picture and looks at the most surface level solution- which when the situation calls for it, that does indeed make him smart. But the same logic that led him to think "This snake has a glowing target on its head, lets hit it" also led him to think "I'm in a video game, therefore I am immortal." Are you really going to look at me and say he figured out Lloyd was the green ninja through logical deduction and a careful consideration of the facts? No. He had a gut feeling, and he trusted it. Instincts- instincts paired with his impulsive following of said instincts is what leads him to solve problems- and sometimes, that can be extremely effective. This goes for other ninja too. Jay isn't the smartest ninja- I would really only classify Zane and Nya as having intelligence define them (hence their ship name). But Jay is extremely creative and crafty. He also knows his was around mechanics, and as such, this will lead him to come up with creative tech based solutions which are smart. But, idk about you, if I had to point to another ninja as being 'dumb' it would 100% be Jay. Kai is a lot of things. He's passionate and determined and confident and persistent. He's a good improvisor, he's powerful and he's charming! These are all wonderful qualities, he doesn't also have to be the smart one. I am the worlds biggest Pixal stan, and she's a smart, sassy, powerful character, but I'm not gonna sit here and tell you she's also hilarious and adaptable and strong willed. She's a straight man to all the ninja's antics, extremely tied to her samurai x suit, and lets people push her around all the time. That doesn't mean she can't be funny, or self interested, but when she does act these ways, it stems from her other more prominent qualities. That make sense?
And while we're clearing up what Kai isn't, please stop characterizing Kai as an overly protective brother - especially romantically. The only two times he's been romantically protective to Nya are in Wu's Teas which I mean, come on and in the pilots when Jay is literally a stranger. For crying out loud, by the end of the pilot, he's smiling when Jay and Nya hug. That's not overly protective, that's just normal, any reasonable person would react this way, protective. And it's such a great stereotype break for a kids show like ninjago, having an older brother who actually trusts his younger sister to be her own independent person who can make her own decisions. I mean, I guess it's fine if you HC differently but like... idk, I don't buy it.
Now, is there still room to criticize the writers? Yes. Hell yes. But not to an extent greater than any other character. Could he have had more of a defined reaction to events of the most recent season that I won't name for the sake of spoilers? Yes. But could Zane have reacted for more than .5 seconds at being an evil war lord for apparently 60 years? Yeah. Has Kai taken a back seat in the past 4 seasons? Yeah. But so has Lloyd- and he's literally the main character of the show. Not to mention two of those seasons have gone to people who had to wait over ten seasons to get one to themselves, and one of them is a 40 minute special. Kai's doing just fine.
Anyway. Kai is great. He's a fun, stereotype breaking, impulsively driven, ball of energy and confidence who gets a good amount of screen time and some fun side plots.
One last thing to clear up: no hate to anyone. This isn't targeted at anyone specific, this post has been a long time coming, I've just seen some weird overblown claims on various platforms over the past few months and I finally sat down to write about it.
I like the Kai content we have. After all, if the writers were really that bad at writing him, then no one would like him.
Wow this was so much longer than I thought it would be. Um... if you have other long winded rants you'd like to see from me... let me know I guess?

Asynchronous With You: Ch 5
ship: naruhina
rating: teen (maybe mature later)
tags: Modern Day AU, Foster Siblings, Family, Angst, Unrequited Love, Poor Communication/Noncommunication, Found Family
summary: An awkward journey full of self-denial and missed moments between two foster siblings. Perhaps their love will find the right timing someday.
Neji met them outside the dorm gates. As generous as his dorm-mate Lee was, he couldn't ask him to step out for their sake.
They followed Neji to a nearby linear park that segregated the school grounds from the business park on the other side. It felt like a glass-less greenhouse, with polished granite beneath their feet and a vine-carpeted roof overhead. The benches were slabs of granite, as were the other fixtures, like an orb fountain in the center, with flawless skin of water running over its surface. The full trees muffled the night, with its crickets and distant chugging cars. The gentle, steady trickle contrasted against their footsteps, like two off-tempo drums and hers a mournful castanet.
Now that they were finally here, she was beginning to lose her nerve, she was forgetting what she had to complain about.
All that mattered was that she was healthy, right? All that mattered was that they were actually taking good care of her.
But the last thing she said to her, telling her to go home, saying that at least one of them should be loved by their parents, it began to eat at Hinata.
Could it be that she doesn't have any love to come home to?
Like resonance, her soul trembled and her ribs ached. The heel of her palm pressed against the skin between her wet eyes.
"I've become like them. I messed up."
The bench caught her before she could sink down to the ground.
"What're you talking about?" came Naruto's voice, barely reaching her ears.
"You mean Aunt and Uncle?"
Hinata nodded.
"What??" Naruto smacked his forehead rather hard. "How were you supposed to act?! They knew where you were! Nothing was stopping them from taking you guys back--"
"We don't know that." Hinata argued.
"Bullshit!"
"We don't," Her shoulders lifted, turning rigid. "They could barely take care of the two of us. It would've been the same if they had to take care of two daughters--"
"What about visits? What's so hard about keeping in touch?!"
She stayed silent. It wasn't that she hadn't considered that, it was that it was too upsetting to ruminate on any deeper.
"Ten years, Hinata. They had to have lied to her, right? Raised her believing she was an only child? C'mon, why aren't you angrier about this?!"
She wasn't sure if it was defiance that lifted her chin, but the eyes she chose to meet were Neji's as she implored him join in.
His eyes closed as he released a pensive sigh. "What's she like?"
"Don't change the subject," Naruto snapped. "Hinata needs to vent."
She prodded Neji with her stare. He shook his head.
"Who are you talking about?" Neji punctuated his rhetoric with a sidelong glance, causing Naruto to bristle. "This Hinata?"
"Yeah, this Hinata. Our Hinata. What the fuck, we've shared the same home for ten years! Hinata! You vent! You vented the other month about your-your shirt!" His face reddened as he brought up, perhaps, the worst example he possibly could.
"I was in a weird mood," Hinata said quickly, giving Naruto whiplash.
"A--A 'weird' mood?! What, like you just felt like messing with me kind of 'weird'??"
Hinata lamely shrugged her shoulders before curling in on herself like an armadillo. She could only imagine how exponential his irritation was to increase. She should've answered Neji's question right away instead of trying to convey her complaints to Neji, because now they were getting way off topic. Which was ironic for Naruto, who thought Neji was the one diverting attention away from her pain.
Neji pinched the bridge of his nose. "I don't know what the story is, and I don't think I want to know."
"Good. 'Cuz I don't want to talk about it." Naruto huffed as he crossed his arms.
Silence lapsed around them. Somehow Hinata was rather surprised their arguing managed to fizzle out on its own and so quickly. The past was almost laughable in how different it was from the present.
'That's right. It's always going to be rocky at first, but it takes time to get used to one another.' This was proof that she and Hanabi could grow into sisters no matter how much time had been lost.
"Her name's Hanabi. Her favorite foods are bananas and milk, and she hates the herb mitsuba. She's cheerful, cheeky, and surprisingly athletic. And... I really want to get to know her better." The tears fell swifter and harder on her lap as she re-conjured the heartbroken betrayal she had put on Hanabi's face.
She really hoped it wasn't too late.
Neji joined her side and rubbed her back, while Naruto kept his distance.
Even though he had been given Neji's explicit blessing years before, somehow it didn't feel appropriate for him to console her too.
Looking at them now, it was like those two had never grown apart, not even a centimeter. And they had been communicating with their eyes, he was sure of it. Speaking around him, because he wasn't actually a part of this.
They're what real siblings look like.
________________________
Taking the midnight train back home, Naruto spent the next thirty minutes absorbed in the things that amused him, from sexy two-minute shorts, to prank compilations and this one guy from Kaminari that totally bites at rapping. Absolutely no one, neither he nor his 745k followers know if he's a comedy channel where he's bad on purpose, or if he's just gotten popular for all the wrong reasons, but watching him never fails to inspire a deep gut-laugh from Naruto.
Because he wouldn't be laughing this hard if something was bothering him, especially not a whole host of somethings.
He ignored how arriving at their station didn't feel quite right, how following Hinata didn't feel normal.
He was surprised when she finally started talking to him, yet the weariness her voice instilled was not lost on him.
"Who was the first girl you liked?"
"Hm? Oh, guess that'd be Sakura-chan."
"I see. And how old were you when you knew?"
"Eight, I guess?"
"Eight," The number floated from her mouth in an amazed whisper, "Do you think somebody already likes Hanabi-chan?"
A blond brow perked up. "Is this that protective Onee-san instinct kicking in already?" When she giggled, his heart sank.
"I suppose it is."
And when the silence closed in on him again, he spoke up to keep it going. "Uh, what about you?"
Her steps faltered for a second, then picked up with an exaggerated bounce. "There's someone."
"Still? Like, ongoing?"
"Mmhm."
Naruto blinked rapidly, whiplash striking again. How? How did he not know his sister liked someone? "Since when?"
"Mmmm," She hummed that note a little too long that bordered on mocking him, and he was about to storm on ahead of her, until she said, "Third grade."
"What?!" Ineloquent as that was, he somehow expected her to answer him. He stood there as she traipsed away, waiting until he was finally fed up. "Well, who the fuck is it?!"
"Guess."
He jogged after her. "Kiba?" His mouth soured at the thought.
She crossed her forearms into an 'X', making the buzzer sound in game shows when the contestant got the answer wrong. "Bubuu."
"Shino?" He didn't know what to think about that if it were true. Guess they were both quiet and smart and a little weird. Is that what compatibility looks like?
"Bubuu," she went again.
What other guys was she in contact with?
Shikamaru was a good friend who came over to game sometimes, but he definitely didn't sense anything there. No, no way it could be him. And everyone was pretty sure Sai was asexual.
"Sasuke?" Why not? He was the school heartthrob nine years running. Didn't matter whether Naruto understood the taste of girls or not, they all wanted him. He kinda wishes he noticed sooner now, because he imagining a plain girl like her pining for someone unreachable and he really hates that for her. When she slows to a stop under the streetlamp, he thinks he's finally figured it out, though the truth ended up being really anticlimactic in the end.
She half-turns towards him, her face blank save for the edge of distaste clinging to the corners of her lips and eyes.
"Gross."
He reeled back. "Gross? Whaddya mean gross?" She continued on her way, forcing him to jog after her. "Hey, I can't believe you think he's gross! Are you just being a contrarian?" Her pace picked up faster. "Y'know, like what unpopular girls do when they can't fit in?"And faster. "You really think he's gross?" She was hurrying on ahead and he was trying to catch a glimpse of her face, just a little bit of veracity. "Hinata?!"
They arrived at the steps of their apartment.
"You have until graduation to guess!" She called over her shoulder as she ran ahead, her voice pitching high at the end.
She was upset.
Her footsteps resounded through the corridors like frantic clapping, but he wasn't being congratulated at all.
It was finally apparent to him that he hasn't paid attention to Hinata in a long, long time. That's why Neji was making fun of him.
He took the elevator to their apartment, and when he reached the hole between their bedrooms, he got down on both knees and crouched his spine. They haven't used this in years, he couldn't believe how small they used to be, this hole had to be over three feet from the floor. It was making his back hurt. "Hinata," He bit his tongue with a pause. "What happens if I can't guess by graduation?" Nothing. Just silence. "Hinata? Are you not going to talk to me anymore?"
"Yeah," If a ghost could croak, that's what it sounded like. "If you can't guess by graduation, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
He palmed the wall as he drew to full height, then stepped away, neither urgency nor insult registering in his chest. He didn't know what was in there. Maybe nothing. He raised his voice a little, just enough so that she could hear.
"I'm going to take this another weird mood of yours, okay? There's no way you really mean that."
Hovering for half a second more, he didn't give her time to respond as he headed for his bed on the opposite side of the room.
Maybe Sakura had the right idea about family. Maybe it's better to just find your own.
