i wonder if @somerandomdudelmao will touch upon the unique connection the donnies have with the kraang? hehehe
cass, think of the angst potential 🙏
i didn't mean to continue with the "twin senses active across space and time" bit, but i thought with the leos in the future, this would be a good chance for the donnies to talk and bond, but it gets derailed when they compared their kraang encounters and everyone's screaming and no one's happy

Do you have more thoughts on AI!Clavell AU?
I always do! In fact, I have an ask blog from Sada's perspective in the AU: @ask-directorsada-and-friends
But yes, I very much do
Gets long, possible spoilers ahead
For starters, in this AI!Clavell/Roleswap AU, part of the reason behind why the other professor (at least, regarding Turo) is because of extreme anxiety. He watches his partner spiral into this obsession more and more following the arrival of Koraidon which gets worse following Arven's birth, and feels helpless to do anything. He's terrified of failing his son as he thinks he's already failing Sada, and when he finally confronts her, things are said both sides regret.
However, what causes him to leave is what Sada says in response to him begging her to stop with Paradise as he feels as though he's failing her and Arven by letting this continue:
"You're failing me and our son by not supporting me! You'll fail as a father if you don't let me create a Paradise for him, and you're failing me by not supporting me!"
These words- said in a moment of anger- are what break Turo. He thinks that his worst fears have come true, that he's failed his family, and flees. Eventually he returns and the two slowly mend their relationship, but I am in no way excusing him for leaving and not reaching out. He was close to a mental break however and regrets not being in his wife and son's lives more, but his anxiety prevented him from returning for a long time.
Clavell and his AI counterpart were unaware of the Paradise Protection Protocol. And in the professor's defense, the PPP was initially meant as a defense mechanism on the chance a rampaging Pokemon attacked it or a group like Team Rocket were somehow to get a hold of it. As a result, the professor saw no reason to mention it as it would never be activated. Whoops.
Instead of Clive, you meet Sabine/Trent during the Starfall Street storyline. Sabine is very perky and uwu-speak/ e-girl like with her pigtails, cat ear headband, and hair barrettes. ("O-M-G, [Player], you took forever! But don't worry, I, like, have been keeping these grunts occupied~!"). Trent, meanwhile, with his spiky purple ombre hair and mouth covered by a mask, gives delinquent, I don't want to be here vibes ("[Player], what took you so long? These guys are so not pog"). Yes Arven is aware of Sabine/Trent and no he does not want to talk about them (he helped them put their disguises together).
Because he grows up with one of his parents in his life from age 7-18, he's much more open to talking about his family. Depending on the game version, he's extremely protective of Sada and is very close with her(Scarlet) or is confident that Turo is proud of him and has a good relationship with him (Violet).
Mabosstiff is still injured when Arven, in an attempt to get answers as to why his Tio Clavell suddenly went no contact with them and to drag him out, enters Area Zero and is attacked. The professor is actually the one who gives Arven the idea of using Herba Mystica to save his beloved dog when all else fails- they aren't sure they're real, but it wouldn't hurt to look into them. When you defeat your first Titan, Arven calls his mom/dad excitedly to tell them that the Herba Mystica are real, only for them to make it clear the following Titans they are to be told so they can join you.
When you begin The Way Home, there's a fourth companion who joins you- the professor. What, you though you were going to go down to Area Zero alone, especially as they're the one with access to areas Clavell shouldn't have access to? Plus they can't let 4 students enter the Great Crater alone! This also allows for them to give more context to certain areas of the Crater or to their time doing research there- one research station, they might mention how they first met Clavell back when he was a teacher's assistant and a researcher at the academy, another might be how they recruited Clavell and Jacq to their research team, Research Station 4 they may investigate some of the rumble only to stumble back, ordering everyone out of the building. I might have imagined it, but I'm pretty sure at one point the game mentions that there's a strange brown stain on the floor from under the rubble that had been removed in a patch, which you can imply is where the professor died. In this case, the professor found that stain, realized there was way too much blood for a person or Pokémon to have survived, and doesn't want their students to potentially see a dead body. They don't think the blood is from Clavell, but they get this ominous feeling going forward.
The Clavell AI knows he's going to fight you when you attempt to shut down the time machine. But when the PPP kicks in, he's terrified as he has no idea what's going on. The professor does, however, and is heartbroken and horrified as they witness what is essentially a robotic clone of their mentor become corrupted by Tera crystals and be taken over by the PPP.
"h0W d4r3 y0u TrY 4nd d3str0y P4r4d1s3! H3 d13d 4l0n3 D0wN h3R3 f0R y0ur dR34m!" (How dare you try and destroy Paradise! He died alone down here for your dream!")
The professor who takes over as director (Sada, in this case/in Scarlet), holds incredible guilt over what happened to Clavell following the discovery that he's gone. The older man is a sensitive topic for them, as he was their best friend who would still be alive had he not been helping them create Paradise.
I have a ton of ideas regarding Director!Sada and the chaos that follows her, so feel free to visit my side blog or ask about her any time!

@advnterccs sent:
Morty sat down at the table next to his counterpart. In his hand was a plate of a slice of pumpkin pie with two forks. He carefully scooped up some of the pie and a little bit of whipped cream. Holding it still before those lips.
"Here, have some," Damn, this was awkward. He just wanted to romantically feed his boyfriend, but he didn't know how to start it. "Uh, i-it's good, but y-you already know that." Then came an awkward laugh.
{ To your Morty from my Morty // awkward boyfriend shenanigans uwu }
Tumblr media
The sound of the chair next to it being moved snapped Morty out of his thoughts. The rest of the family, aside from the Ricks, had moved into the living room, but he had lingered at the table hoping to get a couple of extra drinks without his parents noticing or Summer ratting him out.
He wasn't looking to get drunk, of course. Not when the day had been mostly pleasant so far, thanks to the fact that their counterparts from the other timeline were there too. He just wanted to loosen up, to relax a little more, and he knew that being tipsy did help him with that.
And being presented with his boyfriend trying to feed him pie was for him the proof that he had had the right idea. If he had been completely sober, he would have gotten all flustered and awkward, but the buzzing in his head made him bolder. More confident even.
Hopefully, he wouldn't come off too strong.
Tumblr media
"I-I know, but I bet it tastes even better w-with you making me taste it," he talked back smoothly, his tone openly flirty. "E-Everything is better if you're involved."
With that, he opened his mouth, taking the forkful in and wrapping his lips around the fork, perhaps taking just a moment to long to slid off it. He hummed around the bite, showing his appreciation as he chewed on it.
"Y-Yep, I was right. M-Much better," he claimed, once he had swallowed the pie, his hand finding his boyfriend's free one so that he could lace their fingers together. "H-Here, let me show you."
Instead of taking the fork and returning the gesture, however, he simply leant in and brought their mouths together in a kiss, deepening it almost immediately. His movements, however, remained slow and lazy, without any rush. This was about letting his counterpart having a taste too, after all. And what better way to achieve that than allowing both of them to savour it?

Captains writing really be like: Byleth and the BEagles are found family. Because Im writing that they are right now in this chapter. Despite the fact that we are over thirty chapters in and I have done nothing to earn or establish this whatsoever up until now. Linhardt has had about five lines in total. (Lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy, godawful writing dear lord!)
LINHARDT LMAOOOOOO SO TRUE
But yeah, it’s like... if you were to ask me, right now, to describe what the relationship between the Black Eagles are, I’d honestly be hard-pressed to tell you. Caspar is stupid. Ferdinand is stupid. Petra’s pretty cool. Dorothea is kinda dramatic. Whohardt. Bernadetta is scared. Marianne is sad. Ingrid is sad. Sylvain is maaaad? I guess? Lysithea is uwu lil’ sister. I can give a baseline description of the characters. But how they play off each other? What they do in their spare time? What they tend to do as a group? Whether some prefer hanging out with this BE over that BE but still ultimately likes everyone? Their inner dynamics? What they know about each other? What they want to learn about each other?
I can’t tell you any of that. I can’t tell you how Caspar reacts to Dorothea talking about plays and operas. I can’t tell you what Linhardt and Petra do with each other. I can’t tell you how Ferdinand’s optimism about nobility collides with Sylvain’s pessimism. I can’t tell you if the Black Eagles like to do anything together (other than watching Edelgard and Byleth spar). Like. Why should I think these bitches like each other? Why should I think they’re a family? What has been shown of the Black Eagles that shows how close they are? 
And hell, really, outside of Chapter 34, what was their relationship with Edelgard? Yeah we get a couple of those, like Ingrid and Lysithea and Dorothea, but like. Whohardt’s first actual back-and-forth conversation that lasted more than one or two lines... was in Chapter 34. +160k words into the fic - that’s the perfect time to have Edelgard talk with one of the default members of the Black Eagles! Ferdinand has had like... maybe two or three moments in this fic where he wasn’t a complete buffoon for the reader to point and laugh at - that’s the perfect treatment to give one of the characters you tagged as important in your fic!
Like, I get it - it’s hard to use all of these characters in a meaningful way! But that by no means excuses such blatantly lazy writing; I’ve read Claude centered fics that have managed to use the entire GD cast in a meaningful way that genuinely felt like they were a big found family, and the same is true for Dimitri centered fics for the BL. 
(Tho, their canon counterparts also actually feel like a family, whereas BE kinda doesn’t, but the point remains)
If Cap’n wants to make it such a big point that the BE are this big happy family, then he has to put in the effort and actually show that - he can’t stuff that into one rushed chapter by having Edelgard speedrun being a good person to everyone (save Whohardt). It diminishes any feeling of closeness the Black Eagles have and ruins any feelings of sadness the reader is supposed to feel whenever the Black Eagles are having a rough patch, because they’re basically just strangers that are kinda sad next to each other more than they’re a family going through a bad time. It just feels so shallow

Hi Goldy! I am curious about your take on how Jikook are edited in the behind the scenes clips since October (such as the ones for the Life Goes on music video, ABC Holiday Dynamite, and the Japan one (search on youtube for BTS japan shoot || behind the scene of Japan)). Do you think Jikook are interacting less, being just friends, being more professional, or is BigHit editing their interactions out? It just seems so different from the ones before Oct (FILA, Dynamite MV, Season's Greetings 2021)
Huh???😲😲😲
Tumblr media
BigHit is doing what what now?😥
Do you mean that as a fact or theory?🤔
Why though?👀 They are not Tae Kook? 😥
There's Bangtan video of Jimin with his third leg dangling loose in the air somewhere on the internet, I don't think BigHit is that savvy.
Tumblr media
Lmho. I mean I see what you mean but they are editors and cutting is what they do for a living. But this is Jikook sis. I don't see BigHit's incentive for 'cutting' Jikook's moments and you shouldn't assume that-
Unless...
Tumblr media
You don't think Jikook's been groping eachother homoerotically on set lately have you? Cos, chile I'll believe that! I don't trust Jikook anywhere near eachother's vicinity and personal space.
I've seen enough to traumatize the devil himself. Chilee. Lol.
Bighit, in recent times, mostly tend to cut scenes and moments if they are a bit risqué. Like JK shoving his butt in Jimin's groin face, sliding his hands down Tae's chest...
Often times too they cut moments if its redundant. If a part of a scene is already in the main content they don't bother showing it in the behind scenes. From my observation.
When an interaction is awkward they skip it too, I feel. I mean I am still waiting to see JK touching all over Jimin and feeling him up in Run 106- honey, I'll pay to watch that shit with my kidneys. Lol.
Often too they save some scenes for memories or some other shit that they use all those pent up footages for. Lol.
BigHit is a business, they produce content that per their research and analytics garners more engagement, audience retention and a whole other metrics. They put a lot of creativity into what they do as creatives and artists- I mean if the baby noises is anything to go by. Those bites are tired!
But often times too, they're tired and they're lazy, and they just put anything together and toss it out there without giving it much thought- isn't that how they leave Jin or Tae out of packages, how certain Jikook moments that should have never made it into screen time ended up in screen time- how JM's third leg made it to the internet? They should have cut that shit before uploading it with those subtitles and yet here we are.
I think people give BigHit too much credit- talking about JK shouldn't gay panic and run away from certain moments with JM if he knows BigHit editors are going to cut those moments.... JM's dixk begs to differ. Chilee, Jimin you should have just worn pants. Can't trust these phony ass editors my guy.
The editing is really not a big deal. Not to me. But I love your question anyway. Especially the bits about what's different about Jikook and the content BigHit has been putting out since October.
Well something sure did go down in October, I don't care what anybody says.
I keep saying BigHit banks on the bond and intimacy of the boys, and the boys are more than happy to showcase their bond for the cameras just as Tae said and confirmed in a recent interview- Tuktukkers y'all did an Oopsie on the whole Taekook don't like to show their bond on cameras! Lol
Tae said it himself not me- he lives to showcase his bond with the other members. *where is my skull head emoji. Lmho.
I think what has changed since JM's birthday in October to now, to me where BigHit is concerned, is the general marketing strategy of the company.
It seems to me the company is adopting a marketing module opposite of the strategy they had been using before the pandemic. I think I've talked about this though...
Hate to say I said it, but I said it. Lol.
They are limiting access to the boys to drive sales as and when. BTS dominates the internet and have amassed greater reach and attention partly due to the free content they put out on the internet. But those were never monitised- not in a direct or significant way.
In the wake of the virus, they've had to monetize their online presence. A single tweet from their Twitter account is a phone brand promotion as I pointed out in past posts. There's been an increase in their sponsorship collaborations, in Soop and many of the content they've put up this year. They even turned on ads on their YT channels it seems.
Like I've been saying, this situation is global and novel, they are going to experiment with means and methods till they find that sweet spot and that is what I feel we are experiencing- amongst other things.
Unfortunately for us, our access to Jikook is gonna take a hit like I said before because the numbers are in their favor. I mean go to their YouTube page and see the metrics for yourself.
Jikook's holiday remix pulls way ahead of their counterparts. If their going to monetize any ship brand in BTS it's Jikooks. Trust. But that doesn't mean any ship in BTS is spared.
Someone asked me a while back, when I talked about this, whether all these changes the company was going through was going to affect the way Jikook interact on camera and I couldn't answer that with conviction then.
But I mean we are seeing a subtle, if not drastic change in the way Jikook interact with eachother and with their glass closet.
What that means for us, I think, is the company is going to choose when and where to show us content and certain interactions but that doesn't mean Jikook aren't interacting- know what I mean? I mean they have them. The juicy moments that's gonna make us slap our mamas. BigHit has it all. They are just gonna save it for as and when based on their marketing strategy, if you know what I mean.
I mean we all saw that blackswan performance, we all saw the holiday remix performance etc.
And you are right about the less interactions post October and I've shared my thoughts on it so I won't go into it. But I will state again that they are not broken up either, not to me. Lol.
I think we need to examine what interacting less means. To me, I consider Jikook interacting less if they have an opportunity to interact and they don't interact in a way that is usual of them.
Majority of the content we've gotten in recent times are pretty much very official contents, interviews, etc. The entire BE era, as I said is not about Jikook or even BigHit.
It's about BTS, all seven and Jikook can't monopolize the shine like they tend to do in other BigHit marketed contents in my opinion.
Jimin tried to be funny and chill in the dynamite mv and RM nearly went ninja turtle on his ass when he called him out for not taking things seriously enough during the shoot- Left to grandpa Joonie, the kids will sleep at five. Lol.
Seriously though, there is a huge gap between what BTS views as marketing and marketable and what Jikook or even BigHit views as marketing, in my opinion. And conversations like that between RM and Jimin goes to prove it.
Another interesting thing about this whole marketing approach is how BigHit isn't substituting any other particular pair in Jikook's stead. I see them giving equal screan time to the individual members- well not in a technical sense but I think you know what I mean.
Are Jikook required to be professional in certain situations, absolutely. And in previous years, I think they took too many liberties with it. But as I said, now more than ever they are learning and need to learn to read the room because they wouldn't be able to get away with much if they don't.
BE is a self produced project, after Soop- after when they were isolated to help them bond and repair fractures in their bond. If there were anything they were not happy with that led to Soop, trust that they are going to fix it post Soop and it's going to reflect in every sphere of their interactions.
RM for example has chilled on his monitoring and censorship of Jikook, Jikook have been pretty considerate of the group and have tried not to do anything to have RM pop a vein, Tae has been stepping up too- with the members going out their way to praise him and push him to the fore front of the group unlike in previous years *cough cough I don't want trouble but chilee.
I mean Jimin pointed it out in the Be behind when he said Tae was working hard and putting his best foot forward because the members had been showering him with lots of compliments in recent times and he wasn't kidding.
In the LGO comeback live, RM praised Tae for working hard forgetting it wasn't just Tae and JM's reaction was telling. Of course he backpedaled to compliment JM too.
Suga did the same thing in the Be behind video when he was talking about JM and praising him- I mean it's Suga and his Jimin, uWu. But then he too backpedaled to compliment Tae when he realized what he was doing and I was like CAN SOMEONE PRAISE KOOKIE TOO PLEASE AND THANK YOU. Lol.
Anywho, the company is equally chilling on their Jikook agenda which I have speculated on several ttimes so won't get into- it's all so very kumbaya and God, I hate it. Lol.
Give me the chaos goddammit!
I feel Jlkook loosen up in contents that aren't like super official business moments and that's when you see their domesticity. Lol.
You see them having their me time in the background of some of the content, and in one of the interviews where they were sat a good feet apart but they kept moving closer and closer till eventually after their lunch break cut, they were sat very close to each other.
I'm not a fan of the cameras being shove in their faces during their private moments- Kookie certainly doesn't appreciate that either.
But they are working for a living nonetheless and making content is what they do for a living. So we are definitely gonna get the content from them alright, the fanservice, the organic moments passed off as fanservice, the moments that should never make it to screen- all nine. Lol.
We are just not going to get them in a way we are accustomed to. And it certainly doesn't help that they are each on their own personal growth journeys- gradually disconnecting from their fanbase, I mean Jk's been long gone duh, and Jimin did say he has come to the realization not everyone in the fandom loves him and he is learning to react less strongly to them; which to me translates as bye bitches you don't deserve me. Lol.
I mean dude didn't bother posting for new year this year- y'all Jimin is done with our ass. We might as well pack our bags and join him in Kookie's Casa. I call dibs on the broom closet under the stairs. Lol.
Jikook gets called fanservice and other creepy slurs in this fandom but people forget all of this is their choice too. They choose, are choosing to share all the bits of them they share with us, with us. Inspite of all the hate and insults, they choose to do that- if they did it for the fanservice don't you think they would have called a time out on it long ago because it's not worth it?
I hate it here.
I guess what I'm saying is, you are right about these observations you've made and some of the things you've pointed out are facts.
But we have talked about all of that so it really shouldn't be anything new? Kindly check my previous posts. I think I shared my point of view on what I think is going on with Jikook, BigHit and BTS.
Other than those, I don't think there is anything major up with Jikook honestly. I keep saying I don't think they are broken up. I don't see either of them closed off, emotionally open to connecting with the others.
If anything I said I feel Jimin is falling in love all over again with Kook. I mean when he looks at him he looks to me as if he is seeing Kook in a different light.
And it's funny how all through out 2020 he kept reiterating how his friends and family and relationships were important to him, shading the ef out of Kook during the Japan Stay Gold promos claiming his relationships were important to him and was what was Gold in his life.
He even went on to talk about picking an accent spending time around his friends and talking with his friends around his birthday but suddenly in the Be behind scenes he was talking about how he's come to the realization BTS is his only true friends and how friends come and go.
Clearly he's had an epiphany of a sort and has been through something post his birthday that has him setting his priorities straight in the aftermath.
In his Weverse magazine, he mentioned how he's recently discovered something about himself, about how he loves to be loved. He then went on to clarify that when during festa he talked about having a desire to perform with the members for a long that that he meant to say he wanted to be with them for a very long time.
But then JK said Jimin said that bit to him first. And if this is the interpretation Jimin is giving to that statement then- one plus one is two honey. Numbers don't lie.
Dude don whispered those sweet empty nothings in JK's ear telling him he wants to be with him for a very long time and shit.
And now homeboy out here setting up roots in gay boulevard. I don't think their well is drying up any time soon. Lol.
They are in a honeymoon phase again and they are not showing us. Stingy bastards! Lol
And when JK said to JM in response, that BTS is his home- wow. He really said that...
Tumblr media
He is Jimin's home. Literally. Please, my heartu😭
Jikook is real. Please support them.
Signed,
GOLDY

an unholy holiday.
‎slight spoilers for chapters 16+! there aren’t too many spoilers tho, so dw uwu.
word count: 1.7k.
Tumblr media
‎‎‎
one fried scorpion sandwich.
A week and a half had passed since Diavolo’s holiday announcement, and with each passing day you grew more and more excited. The butterflies gnawed at your stomach on a daily basis, and you had an extra pep in your step when you would traverse the hallway to your next class. Based on the not-so-subtle looks Diavolo had been giving Mammon at the meeting, Mammon was the one who suggested that they do all this for you. You didn’t think Mammon had it in him to think of others, and you sure as hell didn’t realize that he had picked up on the melancholic homesickness that had rooted itself within you. But you were appreciative of his effort regardless of whether you noticed it before or not; It just showed how much Mammon cared about your happiness. You would be sure to thank him when his selected day came.
Today was the fourteenth of December, and to make the whole event a lot more easier, Diavolo had given you and the others a break from school.
“Don’t students in the human world have a winter break as well?” Diavolo had said to you when you went to thank him for the nearly two weeks off. He wasn’t wrong, and you were glad that he was at least a little in-tune with the usual in human highschools.
On your nightstand, your schedule lay crumpled from being shoved into your pocket too many times, and you swiped it up immediately after you woke up. “Let’s see...” Today was your day with Beel, great! You wondered if he had anything planned, and if he didn’t, then you were sure you could think of something. Beel’s mind was always open as long as food was part of the plan, so there would be a lot of things you two could do. Could he balance? Ice skating might be fun... Did Devildom even have a rink? You’d have to ask Lucifer or Diavolo about that one later. But for now, breakfast was your next course of action before you and Beelzebub would head off.
Once your hair was thoroughly brushed and your “Formerly Anti-Lucifer League” hoodie (courtesy of Belphegor. You, him, and Satan all had identical hoodies in honor of the Lucifer harassment squad you were unwillingly dragged into) was slid onto your person, you kicked on your shoes and went to open the door, only to find that Beelzebub was on the other side, hand raised into a fist like he was just about to knock. How polite, you mused.
“G’mornin’!” You greeted happily with a smile. “You headin’ to breakfast too? Let’s go together!” You took a step forward, but the ginger stopped you in your tracks. “Huh?”
“We’re not going to the dining room just yet. I ha-” He started, but you cut him off.
“What?!” You blurt impulsively. “But Lucifer’s gonna kill us if we don’t go to breakfast! D’you remember what happened to Mammon that one time he skipped breakfast last month?! He looked DRAINED when he sat next to me in Devildom History class!” You had more to say, but you shut your mouth soon after you said your last statement. You sheepishly rubbed the back of your neck, “Ah, sorry for interuptin’.”
Beel’s eyes held no ill-will, and he only smiled. He liked hearing your voice, but sometimes you talked too much. He knew you were aware of the fact that you had a tendency to run your mouth, but at least you knew when to stop yourself.
“It’s okay.” He yawned, and you yawned in turn. You cursed at yourself internally for catching the yawn-disease. “But I got permission from Diavolo to skip.”
“Oooh, is this for our thing today?”
“Yep, but mine’s a surprise. Close your eyes.”
“Oh, fine.” You begrudgingly agreed, doing as he said and letting your eyelids swoop shut. You felt something touch your hand, and you narrowed it down to Beel holding your hand to guide you to wherever he was planning to take you. His hand was warm, contrary to your cold palms, and his practically wrapped around your small one.
The two of you left your doorway, and you heard him close it before you two for real headed off. You thought he would be taking you somewhere farther away, but it turns out that the steps you took were minimal, and you both had arrived before you knew it. You had an idea of where you were, because, well. Come on, it’s Beelzebub we’re talking about here! He always has his mind set on one thing and it was the most obvious thing in the world.
After you heard a heavy door close, you were once more pulled along, and said door was shut behind you.
“Okay, you can open your eyes now.”
And when you did, your suspicions were indeed correct. Beelzebub had taken you to the kitchen, as expected, and you sent him a curious look. “I knew it. What kind of stuff do you have in mind?”
“An eating contest.” He said simply, but at that your eyes widened so much that they nearly bulged out of your head. An eating contest?! Against Beelzebub of all people?! Oh, you were certain that you were going to lose. Why would he pick this out of everything else? Did he like seeing you suffer in defeat after he inhaled practically everything off of his plate in a matter of seconds?! You never took Beel to be the type to relish in your misery, since he was usually pretty peaceful compared to the rest of his brothers, so what was this all for?
You didn’t hesitate to voice your complaints, watching as he turned to rummage in one of the cabinets for who knows what. “An eating contest?! Beel, you know that I’m going to lose, so why’d you pick this?! Are you a...” You trailed off as the man pulled out two large plates, each holding a mountain of cookies, and balanced them on his palms. You were actually pretty surprised that he didn’t eat them already. Were they baked in advance? Did Beel make them? You didn’t know he could cook or bake, but maybe he could. There was also a possibility that either Luke or Barbatos made them, but you wouldn’t know until you asked. You licked your lips, suddenly aware of how hungry you were. “...Hey, wait. Those actually look pretty good.”
“Barbatos made them. I tried one right after the first batch came in, they’re really good.” Beel answered, and you swore you could see the drool forming at the corner of his mouth. He was just as eager to dig in as you were. “This isn’t an eating contest to see who would finish first, though.” He grinned. “I asked Barbatos to bake a jellybean into one of the cookies and randomly place it in the pile. Whoever eats the jellybean cookie first wins.”
You slapped your hands together and rubbed them up and down. Now this was fair! With Beelzebub being a fast eater, you’d imagine that he doesn’t exactly take the time to enjoy his food. You, on the other hand, were sensitive to any kinds of changes in flavor in food (you called yourself the “ultimate taste tester” because of it), and you were certain that you’d be able to tell a jellybean apart from a thick frosted sugar cookie. “Hell yeah, I’m in. What do we get if we win?”
“I want a few dozen fried scorpion sandwiches from Hell’s Kitchen if I win.” Beel sounded certain, but you weren’t surprised. You just hoped you had enough Grimm to pay for it all... “What do you want?”
You thought for a moment. “Hard question. Umm...” After thinking for a few more seconds, a devilish smirk appeared on your face, and Beel fidgeted nervously at the sight of it. If he was going to make you spend your own Grimm on a few dozen fried scorpion sandwiches, then you’re going to ask for something much, much worse as payback. “I want Levi’s Softbun password.”
Beelzebub visibly shuddered. Getting Levi’s Softbun password was next to impossible, since the otaku refused to write it down and had instead committed it to memory. That meant the only way anyone could get the password would be if Levi trusted the person enough to give it to them themselves. But the choice was made, and Beel knew that there would be no way to change your mind.
“You know how hard that’s gonna be.” He said, pushing one of the plates across the table to you. You caught it and positioned it in front of you.
“Yeah, which is why I asked! Are you ready?” You readied yourself, hand hovering over the plate. You looked up at Beel, and he nodded. “Go!”
You then proceeded to shove the first three cookies you could grab into your mouth. They were really good, a perfect representation of Barbatos’ immense skill, but they tasted a lot like the frosted sugar cookies you’d buy at Bullseye, which were just as delicious. Now that you think about it, your dad might like to try these, so maybe after this you could go and ask Barbatos for the recipe. You just hoped that the ingredients weren’t things that could only be found in Devildom...
The cycle repeated again and again. You both would munch on cookies without a single word, trying to find that one jellybean-infested cookie. You were starting to feel full, but you didn’t dare mention it. You had to feel confident in yourself in order to win! You were only able to breathe when you bit into a cookie and it was... unusually squishy. Pulling the treat away from your mouth and eyeing the middle, you gleefully noticed that there was, in fact, half a pink jellybean lodged into the baked dough.
Slamming your free hand against the table, you raised the cookie in the air. “I win! Levi’s Softbun password shall be mine!”
You stood triumphantly as Beelzebub only grinned, though the expression was a bit pained. “Congratulations.”
You took note of the way his smile was not the happiest almost immediately, and you placed a hand on your hip. “What’s that face for? Aww, are you having a hard time coming up with how to get that password? Ha, sucks to be you!”
After surveying the remnants of the baked dessert and popping the cookie in your hand in your mouth, you were beginning to think that maybe Christmas in Devildom wasn’t so bad after all, because this first impression sure was a good one. ‎‎ ‎‎‎‎

Garden || [Sugawara Koushi]

Tumblr media

[Previous]
--- 
“Hey, Y/N!” You heard him call. You were in your kitchen, preparing dinner while dancing to some tunes that you were playing on the radio. Blushing fiercely in embarrassment and thanking whatever deity out there that Suga hadn’t seen you shaking your body uncoordinatedly to the beat of the song, you unlocked the door, seeing the grey-haired, bright-eyed teen outside your front gate.
“Suga? What are you doing here?” You raised your eyebrow as you unlocked the front gate, letting him in nonetheless
He chuckled. “You didn’t read your messages, did you?” You blush, knowing full well that the radio would’ve completely drowned out the sound of the notification from your phone. “I... Needed help with maths and told you I was coming over. Sorry, I thought you’d saw my message. Am I bothering you?” His eyes clouded over in worry.
“No, no, not at all.” You immediately reassured him, not wanting to see that look in his eyes. Why oh why did Sugawara Koushi have to be the most considerate person on the surface of the planet? “I’m cooking. Have you eaten yet?”
“I brought sandwich for the both of us.” He smiled, his eyes turning into pretty silver crescents that could make your heart slam against your chest like a forceful spike that hit the wall.
“Oh. That’s fine, then.” Pressing down the overflowing feelings, you led him into your house. There was just something about Sugawara that always made you feel so reassured and at home, even though ‘home’ was where family was supposed to be and your parents were hardly home.
He took a whiff of the air wafting out from the kitchen. “Smells nice!” He said with a blinding smile, your heart plummeting dangerously once again.
---
It had been a nice evening outside, so you had suggested for the two of you to take your studies into your porch. It took an hour and a half to get him to comprehend the concept and you couldn’t blame him- It had taken you a week of research after the teacher introduced the topic for you to wrap your head around the idea. The two of you set cross-legged on the wooden platform outside the house door, countless textbooks and paper around you, sandwiches in hand.
The sun was beginning to set, and you had put on some slippers to water your plants. In the meantime, he was playing with the volleyball you kept in the shoe cupboard, tossing it up before letting it land on his fingers, launching it back into the air again.
The steady sound of the ball against his fingers made you feel at ease, so much that you had begun to hum and wiggle a little to the rhythm. He watched you in amusement, letting the volleyball settle in his palms as his eyes followed your awkward, adorable little movements.
You nearly jumped into the air when you turned and saw him watching, yelping loudly. You knew without a doubt that your cheeks had burst into flames because he was watching you with an amused smile. “Pretend you didn’t see that.” You spluttered out, mentally berating yourself for slipping up.
“It was cute!”
Ignoring his remarks, you watered your plants, finally getting to the row of desert roses- Namely, Daichi, Koushi, Shimizu, and Azumane. Your fingers grazed against Koushi the desert rose’s freshest flower, feeling the soft texture under your skin.
“This one’s named Koushi.” You said absent-mindedly, revealing what you had kept a secret for three years. His eyes widened in surprise, not having expected you to have named your plants. “He’s always flowering, and the flowers are always so nice.” You smiled warmly, eyes fixated on the plant as you knelt down, letting your fingers brush against some pastel pink buds that had yet to blossom.
You glanced up, expecting to see him sitting on the wooden platform outside the house door, only to find that there were only textbooks on the platform. Koushi was right behind you, his arms around you waist as he crouched down by your side.
“I want to bloom everyday for you if it makes you that happy.” He murmured in your ear, his breath catching in your earlobe.
Your heart stopped momentarily, your face flushing completely. You turned to look him in the eyes, seeing the unworded question in his eyes. Nodding shakily, you gasped as he pressed his lips to yours, both of your lips fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle.
When you finally pulled back, you took a moment to admire the way his eyes shone when the sun reflected in them. His face was just as flushed as yours were, but his eyes were brimming with excitement and adoration.
“I uh. Koushi needs to drink water.” You cut into the silence awkwardly, wanting to plant your face into dirt. He laughed, taking the watering can from your hands, nearly sending you into cardiac arrest when his fingers brushed against yours.
You watched him, wondering why he wasn’t making a move to water his plant counterpart. Setting down the watering can behind him, he took both your hands into his, smiling in amusement when you, without a doubt, blushed again.
“Koushi,” He whispered softly, leaning closer to you. “Needs another kiss.”
---
I enjoyed writing this so much I’m ready to combust with sheer love for Koushi. I’m literally addicted to writing for Haikyuu now, someone stop me please- (NopleasedontstopmeImtooinlovewiththemtostopnow)
I’m not confident about my grasp on Haikyuu characters so someone for the love of god tell me if Suga is being too bold because this is how I see him in my head and... My head is probably not accurate.
All comments and reblogs are appreciated uwu, thanks for all the support!!!

The Gilded Appearance
A few minutes have passed since he disappeared from this terrestrial hell...or rather he was recruited for a very special tournament.
This lousy monkey had actually managed to convince him. But he can't blame him. Anything is better than to have to be exposed to this cocoon and listen to horrible parades with disgusting fairy songs. He is in a gate that connects this world with the beyond...some human with magical powers had brought him here. A circumstance he does not consider important. His body seems stiff. This repulsive shell hanging from a cherry tree tightened him up very much and he had no freedom of movement at all. What an annoyance! And audacity!
He lets his tense neck circle, whereupon a cracking sound can be heard immediately, his pure ivory-coloured skin appears slightly turquoise due to the blue flames flickering in the portal. One eye looks slowly upwards and he immediately notices a glow over his crystalline skull. Immediately an annoyed sigh sets in. "How degrading for me...of course I have to keep this grotesque halo," he closes his eye again, had briefly determined where Goku is and puts his hands on his hips while he slowly struts to him. His tail flickers elegantly with every step behind him. "Hey, Frieza! I am Glad you're he--!" But he interrupts the mouthy voice with a glorious stroke in the pit of this stomach. "Oops, pardon me...my hand slipped...", he opens one eye again, it is almost like a cheeky wink and he rejoices in the pain of this simian barbarian. His white fist bores into his stomach one last time, but before he could react, his face distorts itself into a painful expression. This monkey had started a counterattack! Also a punch in HIS very stomach. He gritted his perfect teeth and heard the cheeky words of the Saiyan. "Oh, I am also sorry. Mine too." Inside he is loaded with wrath, but he keeps the control he has acquired over the last years. A real anger vein pulsates at his temple, but he smiles slightly, his vermilion eyes glowing at his counterpart.
"Okay Frieza, no more hand slipping. We have to hurry. We only have a few minutes left." The emperor stands upright again and immediately recovers from this little unexpected punch. He seems only slightly confused, his eyes widening as Goku gives him a hand. "Take my hand. I will take us away from here immediately", he himself, in his slight amazement, only brings a quiet "Oh?" as an answer. He chuckles slightly amused, "Then what shall slip next?"
But he doesn't take the hand of this monkey, because a ghostly creature floats panickedly towards them...probably it belongs to this other being. "Baba! We are in trouble! There are several creatures outside! We're surrounded!"
The Emperor puts his hands behind his back and cackles slightly. "A welcome party? You did not tell me that, Goku." He jokes with a smirk. But he does not get an answer, and the other goes out of the building.
His tail flickers enthusiastically behind him for a moment before he slowly follows him.
Oh? Fighters from another universe? This should be interesting. Unknown assassins who probably want to destroy fighters from other universes so that they can no longer participate in the tournament. A...perfidious manner, yet effective.
He watches the action, stands at the entrance of the building, his view directly to Goku and the... locusts in the sky. The unsuspecting monkey asks him questions, but his voice only meets with deaf ears. Clever assassins. Loyal people who understand their work...or they will be subjected to even worse torture if they fail?
Although the Saiyan's contact person gets on his nerves...the same answer follows constantly, namely none.
"I won't tell."
But in the next moment the chest of this dog-like alien is pierced and he falls into the water, rises again, his face screamed in pain. It was a deathbeam, straight from the deadly index finger of the Ruler of the Universe. But he had deliberately missed the vital organ so as not to cause an initial death here on Earth...at least not yet. But his shot was so precise and so close to Goku that he had poked his cheek. "Oh...I am sorry again...I guess my hand slipped after all." his smug grin remains and he can see a certain seriousness in Goku's eyes. Of course he has perfectly memorized his previous words in his head. He never forgets. I guess they will have some minutes left for a little warm-up exercise. "You know, my body has become quite soft in hell...", his smug manner can be heard on the outside and his body slowly covers itself in a golden aura. "And I thought I could loosen it up.", his changed ki continues to grow, it jst like a golden flame in which he is blazing and that's exactly how his inside feels: His body is exposed to so much heat that even the strongest material could melt...but he has got used to it, his body and his organs know this procedure...besides he is a cold-blooded being, literally and heat is very pleasant for his organism. Everyone here isn't moving... nobody is talking. Everyone watches this divine transformation, everyone seems to be spellbound. Just the kind of attention he was hoping for. Very good. A promising audience and it will be his greatest pleasure to eviscerate them. Every single being here.
At the moment, however, he is completely focused on this new power, which he has mastered after another stay in his own hell. Glaring light is emitted as his body takes on a new form in this shell. He has spread out his arms, his back is leaning backwards, almost forming a hollow back, his piercing eyes are closed and he still wears his perfect smug grin. It is the coming anticipation of the bloodbath with which he will inaugurate his golden skin.
Although his posture is inviting, every single limb is under tension. He has to bundle this incredible energy before he can release it and each of his metamorphoses is painful, an irrevocable fact. But it is never visible to an outsider.
Every single cell of his slowly changing body takes on an even more resistant form, micro scales merge together to become more robust as well. The purple spheres on his shoulders disappear completely under a stable golden layer. More muscle mass is formed on his membrane. His perfect transformation is almost complete...the colour gold to humiliate every still living Saiyan and to be superior to this monkey race.
And the hot feeling inside does something very curious: slight signs of goose bumps are visible...but only Frieza himself knows this, no one else would noticed. This unbelievable increase in power causes this. He is excited about what is imminent...he  is bloodthirsty and will show no mercy with his finally mastered power.
His strong toes briefly brace themselves, his nails claw into the stone floor before they glow golden for a moment and relax again. The same tension can be seen on his upper body and arms, which have increased considerably in muscle tone. His facial features are also briefly tense for a millisecond before it turns purple and his smirk is still clearly visible with his black lips.
The glistening light had spread over several kilometers during the night and is now slowly fading as his body completes the transformation.
His upper body makes a forward movement. It is like a bow, an invitation for the honour that all attendees were allowed to experience and it is also an augury for the coming disaster. Executed by the Golden Deity who is reborn.
His scarlet eyes open again in a sharp gaze, his golden and massive tail wagging briefly and swiftly once behind him, before he in his sublime form announces his arrival: "Behold the true power of the Golden Frieza!"

Same as my Hiruzen post, just wanna keep this analysis using the feminist (I hope I did it right and my Literature teachers won’t roll their eyes at me lol) (but it’s just for Twitter so wtvr) approach on my Tumblr too. Was posted on July 11 2020:
Ok this has been in my (Twitter) drafts for so long but I wanted to wait till I finish all 500 episodes to post this lol. I love Naruto but God, the writing for its female characters is shit. This is written based only on Naruto and Naruto Shippūden (manga and anime). I think it got better in Boruto but I’ve yet to see it. Anyway
Women are not given the burden of carrying important roles that represent relationships built throughout the series, as if, they are not capable of creating bonds strong enough to drive a character even though it is what Naruto is all about; the importance of bonds between humans. 
Examples of relationships; 
Friends: Naruto-Sasuke, Kakashi-Obito 
Kouhai-senpai: Itachi-Shisui 
Siblings: Itachi-Sasuke 
Student-teacher: Naruto-Jiraiya, Naruto-Iruka, Asuma-Shikamaru 
Patriotism: Itachi-Konoha, Shisui-Konoha 
Lovers to enemies: Hashirama-Madara ( :p )
These relationships as we all know are the basis of the series’ plots and developments. I mean, if not for Naruto’s feelings towards Sasuke, the anime won’t exist... and if not for Sasuke’s feelings towards Itachi, he wouldn’t have abandoned Naruto... and if not for Itachi’s patriotism towards his village, he wouldn’t have killed off the Uchiha clan, which is the reason why Sasuke hated him in the first place. These three related, complementing events are I think crucial instances of what the Naruto universe is built upon. They also are the reason other relationships were able to be expanded (i.e. Itachi-Shisui share the same loyalty and love for Konoha, Naruto became Jiraiya’s apprentice to be able to compete with Sasuke). 
And as u can see, no female characters are involved at all. Only time female characters are seen creating bonds and/or have a role to move the plot is when they are driven by romance (e.g. Hinata-Naruto, Tsunade-Dan, Karin-Sasuke). This paints the idea that women are only concerned of men and romance in the anime?? Even a simple friendship between female characters was almost impossible to be portrayed healthily (i.e. Sakura-Ino are supposedly good friends but they always put down each other). 
The anime itself has agreed that the sole reason a female is present amongst male characters is because they are able to be motivated when a woman is around to be impressed, which will lead them to wanting to improve themselves and become better shinobi. 
When Kakashi asked Hiruzen why were Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura put together in a team, the answer he got was because Sasuke needs someone with the experience of using Sharingan to be there for him when his is activated and in order to be able to control the Kyuubi inside Naruto in case it goes berserk again, Sharingan is needed, which is a sound reason why the two of them are put together. 
And Sakura??? Hiruzen said (omg it still pisses me off), she’s only in Team 7 because that would drive the boys to become stronger because they would want to impress Sakura. Like?? She only exists to be a fucking trophy that could be won is it?? That’s it?? I think this was why at first I was against Sakura and Sasuke’s relationship. IT DIDN’T SEEM TRUE. Yea yea I know there are scenes that have suggested their feelings are mutual but lol let’s be real. Boruto saved it. If not for how they’re presented in Boruto,,, lol. 
Anyway, Kakashi was seen to be on the same page with Hiruzen because he was reminded of how Obito worked hard to catch up to him so that he could impress Rin. The same thing happened to Hiruzen’s team; Jiraiya wanted to beat Orochimaru just to catch Tsunade’s attention. I understand that it is natural for boys (and girls) to improve themselves in order to attract the person they like but to give female characters no role other than to be a trophy?? That’s just dumb and objectifying. 
Sakura got a shit ton of hate ever since Naruto (her character only improved A BIT in Shippūden), and honestly, Idt it’s her fault. Her character writing was so shit that all she ever did was scream Sasuke’s name and when Sasuke is knocked out, she’d call for Naruto. She has a great potential to become a kunoichi of the same level as her teammates but the anime never tried to put the spotlight on her. A lot of times we saw other characters say “wow Sakura has potential” but we never see that being polished on screen. 
If only she was given the chance to take an active role in battles, maybe the anime would’ve appeared better in regards to its treatment towards female characters. The only battle that I remember of with Sakura taking an active part in it??? Her fight with Sasori. Not saying that her role during the war is insignificant but even with that in mind, when Sasuke is present, she could only think of him?? 
And SHE COULD’VE STOPPED MUGEN TSUKUYOMI BY DESTROYING OBITO’s RINNEGAN BUT BECAUSE SHE HESITATED, MADARA MANAGED TO STEAL IT!! 
[ This video has all the Sakura scenes that pissed me off. ]
Why did she hesitate?? She’s a medic nin fgs?? This is what I meant by her writing is shit. The Sakura that I know wouldn’t think twice to do what she needed to. AND to think that just a few moments before, SHE SAVED NARUTO’S LIFE?? BY PUMPING HIS HEART USING HER HAND??? And he survived!! With her aid!! The fact that she managed to pull that off but not destroying Obito’s Rinnegan is just pure bullshit. 
But I’m sort of glad they had the filler episodes where they showed Sakura’s (and Ino’s) growth, how they went thru their training and stuff. It’s not much but thanks for the fillers I guess?? The manga can go suck some balls. 
Another mention of a female character being disregarded as an important ninja would be Konan. Throughout the Naruto vs Akatsuki arc, Konan’s skills and determination have been displayed countless of times. And I’m glad she was given the chance to prove her ability but what rubbed me off the wrong way was Jiraiya’s opinion on her. Every time he spoke of the three orphans he took in, he always mentioned Nagato’s strength and Yahiko’s desire to bring peace in a positive manner. But when it comes to Konan, his only adjective for her was “pretty”. 
Konan is more than just a feminine presence with beauty as her only personality?? She’s a strong-willed person who is able to stand alongside her comrades in fighting for what they believe in. She was willing to sacrifice herself in order to defeat Obito/Madara in a heartbeat!! Jiraiya could’ve said better things about her. 
From this, we can say how biased a male character’s view is on other females?? As if, only men would fight against injustices of the shinobi world but women?? uwu she pretty yes she will grow up to be a beautifoOl woman. 
Kishimoto couldn’t write women very well and he admitted this himself but God, I wish he would’ve tried harder. Not able to write women well is such a shitty excuse for a writer... especially when we know his female characters are capable just as much as their male counterparts. 
Also I try to take this positively but you know how during Naruto’s time, the only medic nins are his female characters? (i.e. Sakura, Ino, Tsunade) I think he meant to portray women as healers and that’s a pure intention but lol it also sort of sends the message that to him, no matter how smart and talented a woman is, they shall not be given the duty to fight!! They should just wait and be ready to receive injured comrades while the boys go fight evil and bring peace!! I wanna give credit to him for making women healers but lol does he deserve it?? 
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

xisuma b. void x joe? uwu
Xisuma B. Void... I see you're a man of culture as well
Xisuma and Joe have known each other for forever and can't imagine their lives any other way
every time Xisuma has a fight with EX Joe is there to support him, and he comforts him after he's forced to ban his evil counterpart
Joe and Xisuma are like an old married couple, constantly bickering while they still adore each other to bits
they both love music and often jam together, Joe's singing improving significantly with guitar backup
Xisuma desperately wants to teach Joe how to be more efficient and manage his resources better but he just doesn't care AT ALL
Xisuma sometimes feels like his himbo boyfriend is going to drive him insane
Joe helps Xisuma in his admin duties by checking and testing smaller things and reporting to him directly how the other hermits feel about them
he knows how much time and effort maintaining the server must cost him and admires him greatly for that
Joe encourages Xisuma to try new things and just have casual fun, no strings attached
there are not many things that can make Xisuma geniuenly laugh, but Joe's jokes is definitely one of them
they can get very philosophical, too, and spend the entire night stargazing and discussing morality and mortality
at first Xisuma is not a big fan of physical contact, but after a few strong, loving hugs from Joe he warms up to the idea
Xisuma especially likes when Joe is close enough for him to hear his heartbeat, since he doesn't feel touch very well
Joe is terrified of the End and will only go there with his boyfriend's assistance, preferably holding hands the entire time
when Xisuma gets lonely he will sometimes just tp Joe right to him, without warning him at all
Joe doesn't mind dropping whatever it is he's doing at the moment if it means they get to spend time together
Xisuma is in awe of Joe's skill with words and thinks about the meaning of his poems/song lyrics a lot
they are both wanderers, visiting every corner of Hermitcraft: Xisuma from a distance, seeing the whole picture, and Joe up close, focusing on the details

yo! i've been following your tumblr mostly just for cql because aha :^) you know how it is :^) but it's left a void in my chest. i know you rb a lot of content for other shows, so i figured i'd ask you for some recs (and the best places to watch them uwu)!! thanks so much i'd die for u
Hello anon!! I totally get you 💀 I’m gonna assume that you want me to rec BLs, so I’ll tell you only the ones that I’ve liked best and why, where I watched them, and possible trigger warnings as well for you :)
So first up is my favorite: Theory of Love
Who stars in it: Off Jumpol (as Kai) and Gun Atthaphan (as Third), aka OffGun, aka icons and best friends who we stan to this very day
Why I recommend: I adore this show for so many reasons but overall the vibe is just so good dfhkhkhj It references like a trillion rom-coms and I won’t spoil it but there is a literal montage of some classic rom-com scenes done by the main characters that is just so fucking hysterical, I cry every time. There’s also a compilation here of movie posters that they recreated to imitate some classic rom-coms as well, which made me DIE from emotions I tell you what. This show is just so funny and makes fun of itself with characters that you genuinely grow to adore. Kai is a chaotic dumb of ass bisexual and we love him in this house (as infuriating as he can be lmfao). It’s so rewatchable GOD 10/10 would recommend.
Warnings: There is no sexual abuse in the show of any kind, except for one scene that is just a kiss and very mild, so I think you’d be all good there. :)
Where to watch: I watched it on YouTube! Here’s the link to episode one part one
History3: Trapped
Who stars in it: Jake Hsu (plays Shao Fei) and Chris Wu (plays Tang Yi), aka weirdos who can’t stop laughing while filming and being dumb in general and I love that for them and me
Why I recommend: I loved it. The main couple is adorable with so much chemistry and I will be totally honest, they remind me SO MUCH of Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian. Like on the rewatch I just did of this show, I couldn’t believe the similarities the character Shao Fei has to Wei Wuxian and his counterpart Tang Yi has to Lan Wangji. Like. When I tell you I was shook the house, I mean it. But the side couple is ALSO iconic the house and the CUTEST like if you don’t want to adopt Zhao Zi and also officiate his wedding by the show’s end, I’d be shocked dfhhkghdjkl All in all, it’s such a funny show with very tender, heartfelt moments that are to die for. This show has it all: plot twists, cops falling in love with mobsters and vice versa, a character whose goal in life is to just eat as much good food as possible… amazing.
Warnings: The show has fighting and violence but seeing as you watched The Untamed, I’m assuming you’re okay with it lol There is an instance where one character tries to rape one of the leads by drugging him, so keep an eye out for that, but I think it will be obvious because he starts to pass out and you will know whether you feel you have to skip the scene or not. He isn’t undressed, it isn’t anything remotely graphic, but he is groped by the asshole I won’t name man fuck that guy but that’s all!
Where to watch: I watched it on newasiantv, link to ep1 here
Dark Blue Kiss
Who stars in it: Fluke Gawin Caskey (Mork) and Podd Suphakorn (Sun) aka two of the most gorgeous and sweet dudes alive fdhgldfhgdk AND BL vets, New Thitipoom (Kao) and Tay Tawan (Pete)
First off: dshhgdksj If you haven’t seen Kiss Me Again or Kiss the Series you might be a little confused. Dark Blue Kiss is sort-of-a-continuation-but-not-really of those other two series, and it sort of adds to the experience if you have seen them. If you want to, just watch Kiss Me Again and I think you’ll be okay honestly; it’s just because you might want context of the characters (Pete and Kao, their friends etc.) and their relationships to one another going into Dark Blue Kiss.
Why I recommend: NOW two of the leads, Sun and Mork, have one of The Best relationships in any BL I’ve ever seen because they have real conversations and have real conflict and issues that they work to get through. Rain (Sun’s younger bro and Mork’s bestie) is an absolute delight and their story arc throughout the show is so iconic we just have to stan. I won’t get into Kao and Pete fhhkhdj because I just have Opinions on fucking w characters/relationships for the sake of drama and that’s what I think this series did to them, unnecessarily ahem But otherwise it’s funny and real and again if you dont literally love Mork and Rain and Sun by the end of it did you even watch the same show???
Warnings: There is a brief scene where one character tries to get w another who is like get tf AWAY weirdo lmfao but there is no actual abuse bc they are stopped well in time to avoid it
Where to watch: I watched Dark Blue Kiss on newasiantv as well because the episodes on YouTube tended to not get subbed as quickly as I wanted which you will understand if you watch this lmao. Here is the link to episode one of Kiss Me Again as well as a link to episode one of Kiss the Series if you feel like watchin those two beforehand
Tharntype the Series
Who stars in it: Gulf Kanawut (Type) and Mew Suppasit (Tharn) aka those two guys who you might see do a shit ton of fanservice that I diligently ignore because I hate fanservice lol This show exists in the same universe as another BL that I am reluctant to put on here lol but will get into later on.
Why I recommend: BEFORE YALL FLAY ME ALIVE djkhgldhgfdjhhkjd OKAY LISTEN genuinely, on a very real level, I FULLY understand why a lot of people here refused to watch this show or couldn’t finish it. You’re totally valid and legit I almost stopped after ten minutes because I was like here we go AGAIN. However! I was so drawn in by the acting that I wanted to give it a chance, and I’m SO GLAD that I did. Gulf and Mew, as well as Mild (who plays Techno) and Kaownah (who plays Lhong) and everyone else who acts in this show, is incredible and their chemistry is insane. I would say it’s some of the best chemistry and acting I’ve seen, BL or otherwise. You get angry at the two main characters interchangeably and I truly feel that that makes it real, you know what I mean? There is no oh he’s in the right, fuck that other guy 100% for either of them. They are both real, flawed men who grow so immensely throughout this series where by the end you’re so proud of their development and the love they find for themselves and in each other??? Because it doesn’t feel like we’ll get there, but they DO. And it’s BEAUTIFUL. We’re getting a second season, which to me is always a tad worrisome because I do think it ended very well and if they fuck with everything (cough KaoPete) just to fuck with it and stir the pot I’m gonna be Upset. But for now, it’s amazing and speaks on topics that aren’t ever addressed. It’s an unfortunate reality in BL that the way so many relationships begin is through sketchy-consensual (drunk, coerced) or flat out like non consensual sexual shit, and this show dives into the aftermath of sexual abuse, the mental impact that has on a person, and how damaging it can be if left unattended. I would give it a chance. I really do think it’s a well done series. Oh and Techno is so relatable and the only one with a brain cell in this show half the time jkdfhhdlkj
Warnings: Like I said, this show is not an easy watch at times. Very often, in fact, it can be difficult. There is homophobic language, two of the characters (I dont want to spoil everything) have been raped in the past, one as a child (which is NOT GRAPHICALLY SHOWN, don’t worry) and the other as a teenager/young adult, which is sort of shown but not in too much detail. Another character in present day “does stuff” to another that isn’t totally consensual, more than once (which is probably my biggest problem with the show and the one thing I really can’t excuse because like bro I don’t care how big your crush is, don’t be an asshole, point blank), but every other sexual thing in the show is consensual and very much wanted
Where to watch: Here is episode one on newasiantv if you want to give this a shot :)
He’s Coming to Me
Who stars in it: Singto Prachaya (Mes) and Ohm Pawat (Thun) aka just two adorable boys
Why I recommend: This show definitely has one of the more unique plots among BLs. I won’t spoil it, and as with all of these I recommend going in without looking up plots because like I know for me movie trailers etc just tell me everything and there doesn’t seem to be a point in watching the movie if I know so much beforehand. The main characters are cute together, there are funny moments and moments that make you cry. And it’s a happy ending, which we love to see :)
Warnings: There is a major character death, no blood though, and you will understand in context that it isn’t as bad as it seems right now lol Nothing that isn’t consensual, which is a miracle in these shows. Overall wholesome content. There is like a weird storyline with one of the character’s moms which was Different to say the least dfjhdflhgkjf but it didn’t ruin the show for me or anything
Where to watch: newasiantv seems to be my go-to lmao
3 Will Be Free
Who stars in it: Joss Way-Ar (Neo), Mild Lapassalan (Miw), and Tay Tawan (Shin). If you watch Dark Blue Kiss or any of those before this, you will recognize Tay and Mild as Pete and Sandee (just friends in those shows). Joss is just such a funny, sweet guy and so is Tay Lowkey biased for them and I honestly often favor TayJoss’ chemistry over TayNew, which I think is controversial lmfaoo but it has to be said lol and obviously Mild is a badass actress and talent so having her here is amazing
Why I recommend: So this is the only BL thus far to feature a polyamorous relationship, which is sort of crazy but I’m so happy it’s been done at least once now. The three have such amazing chemistry and you really grow to care for each of them as individuals as well. They’re just really awesome and I adore them and miss them every day fdjghfdglhkjd There’s also a trans actress!! :D
Warnings: There is quite a bit of gun violence bc one of the character’s father’s is a mob boss. Two side characters are killed, one much further into the show so it hurts even MORE, and one of the other side characters therefore to me doesn’t receive the ending they deserve; it was very messy and I think they deserved better. A woman is in an abusive marriage to a man, which sucked and I skipped a lot of it even though it wasn’t necessarily super violent. I just don’t like that stuff ://
Where to watch: Surprise surprise, newasiantv
Until We Meet Again
Who stars in it: Fluke Natouch (Pharm) and Ohm Thitiwat (Dean), Earth Katsamonnat (Intouch) and Nine Noppakao (Korn). Fluke and Earth invented being friends like……they are so fucking cute and they are both actually queer (have been in public relationships with men) which is always so rare to see and really great :)
Why I recommend: Side couple TeamWin is absolutely iconic. I adore them with my whole body so if for nothing else, watch it for them LMAO But for real InKorn is such a cute couple and PharmDean has a very nice relationship too; they talk about consent and have healthy communication which is so refreshing lmao
Warnings: The show does open with a double suicide by gunshot. I won’t say who, but it is in there. The two main characters have flashbacks/PTSD/nightmares (one worse than the other) which you will understand in context if you watch, but it’s definitely worth the watch
Where to watch: This show is currently airing and I watch it on YouTube; here’s the link to episode one part one
Love By Chance
Who stars in it: Perth Tanapon (Ae) and Saint Suppapong (Pete), Mean Phiravich (Tin) and Plan Rathavit (Can). This is the show that is in the same universe as Tharntype, but the actors who play Techno, Tharn, and Type are different actors in this show than from Tharntype. It’s confusing and messy lol
Warning: I’m putting this before the why I like it because I think it’s necessary for this one. I hesitate to even put LBC on here because there is so much of this show that just makes me uncomfortable. When I first watched this show, the second BL I had ever watched, I had no knowledge of BLs, the actors, or really anything to do with any of this world. So, having grown up with film/tv life where every actor is 27 playing 17, it didn’t occur to me that the actor playing 18 would in fact be 17 instead. Perth was I think 17 or possibly 18 while filming (I don’t know exact dates), which includes sexual scenes that I didn’t even feel comfortable watching BEFORE I knew his age, let alone trying to rewatch the series while knowing about it. I am 20, and was 19 last year when I watched this, so it really skeeves me out to watch those kinds of scenes (BL or otherwise) if actors or actresses aren’t at least 18 or 19. It seems weird because I’m 20 and a queer girl, not like a 50 year old pedophile or something like that, but for my own comfort I tend to skip the more explicit stuff. On my first watch, I skipped the Tharntype, TumTar, and Techno storyline because frankly I didn’t care. Going on to watch Tharntype the Series, I was even happier to have skipped so that I didn’t have to go in with a preconceived idea of the characters from having watched LBC. One of the characters in this version of events is raped or coerced into sex; I don’t even know the details because I just couldn’t be bothered to give it a chance. I firmly believe you can watch this show without watching any of their storylines (and skipping over the more sexual stuff, if you feel you have to), which I know sucks to say bc the actors are all good and I like their other work and them as people, but I just couldn’t do it. It is of course up to you.
Why I recommend: Basically I recommend this just for TinCan lmao and on the chance that you do decide to watch Tharntype, it pays at the end to have a knowledge of the LBC characters because again they are in the same universe and it won’t be as cool if you don’t get it right away like WHAT!!! You know haha so yeah There is going to be a season two dropped sometime this year, focused I believe on TinCan, so I’m literally so fucking excited. Dreams are coming true
Where to watch: I found this show on both Dailymotion and newasiantv
Hey again anon it’s been a minute dfhlhghjd I’m sure this is way longer than you thought and probably don’t want HA but I wanted to be as thorough as possible for you and anyone else who might be new here you feel So some shows I didn’t get into that I watched include Great Men Academy, Together With Me, 2Moons and 2Moons2, Love Sick, ’Cause You’re My Boy (aka My Tee), History3: Make Our Days Count, SOTUS the Series, History2: Crossing the Line, (currently airing) Why R U?, and 2gether.
If you get through the ones I talked about above and want me to talk about these other ones, I’ll do that too!! I hope this helps you and others :D ✌️ ✌️

ok so for fire emblem first!!!!! i’ll go per series (the ones ive played) to limit them lmao and also because im gonna ramble (im sorry i dont even know if you play all of them but im feeling talkative today just ignore the ones you dont know lol)
fe sov: berkut/rinea. the way he loves her…. and wants her to smile…….. and shes happy simply just being with him………. at least im thankful for feh since theyre together happily there. watch me as i +10 rinea!!!!
fe4 holy war: finn/lachesis. ok i only play fe4 halfway the first gen so i cant say much but i read the manga and it makes me ship finnchesis so much!!! he fills the hole left by eldigans death in her heart…….. and she enjoys his company so much he becomes someone very important to her i love slow-building love
fe6: roy/lilina. i havent finished this im stuck at one chapter and i dont feel playing it lmao but im weak for childhood friends!!!
fe7: imma cheat on this one THE FIRST ONE IS ELIWOOD/NINIAN THEY HAVE MY HEART AND SOUL. hes super gentle to her and theyre completely lovestruck with each other throughout the game i just…… cannot not ship them………….. the second one is kent/lyn because liege/knight pairing is my other weakness lmao. and their support!!!! lyn wants to be more than just his lady ugh their a support is so good
fe8: joshua/natasha. not much to elaborate here really but its love at first sight for him you cant change my mind
fea: HENRY/OLIVIA IS JUST. SO. GOOD. he shows his real emotions because of her!!!! without realising he falls so hard for her!!!! ALSO INIGO BEING HENRYS SON FITS SO MUCH not to mention hes the only one who looks good with white hair among the fea kids lol
fef: m!corrin/azura, since they share somewhat same backstories i think they find consoles in each other’s company. also idk if you play feh but theres this one version of corrin that shows up in young azura’s dream world, and his dialogues are very azura-centered, much more than his female counterpart, and they all say he just wants her to be happy im crying (esp remembering her fate in birthright and conquest :v)
fe3h: felix/annete theyre just!!! so cute!!!! felix cant stop thinking of her???? and super soft to her unlike to the others????? she unknowingly makes her way into his heart ughhhh. i also like cyril/lysithea a lot, i really cant choose between them.
feh: not a main game but alfonse has all my uwus so i have to say this…… i love alfonse/summoner!!!! alfonse refusing to get close to any hero but ending up getting super close to the summoner……… he trusts them so much!!!! seriously like 80% of alfonses dialogues are related to the summoner and lemme tell you i squeal every time he talks about them lol
moving on for other series i’ll do another list for the series that are on top of my mind!!!
kny: (you must have seen this coming) GIYUU/SHINOBU OH MY GOD I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY. for shinobu, since she always dons kanae’s smiling mask, i think shinobu finds comfort in teasing giyuu since she can be a little bit like herself when doing that, like a small breather. for giyuu, since he isnt close with other pillars, i think he appreciates shinobu’s company, even though she keeps teasing him. THEY ALSO HAVE PARALLELS they lose their sisters and they hate their own circumstances (giyuu with him passing the final selection without doing anything and shinobu with her physique). and his shocked face when she [redacted]????? man i will forever be sad about that. and a side note i like tanjirou/kanao a lot! kanao defends aoi and the girls because she remembers tanjirous words. she legit cries because shes relieved tanjirou is alive. she even raises her voice to keep others quiet because she worries about him. tanjirou is a changing force in her life!!!!
gbf: gran/lyria. their lives are intertwined………… they literally cant live without each other………. and gran is so protective to lyria ugh i love that!!!! ALSO THE ANIME!!!!!!!! theres one original story episode about lyria almost dies because she hates her existence so much she wants to disappear but gran brings her back……………. not by his own actually but like he promises to always be there for her or something like that theyre just so cute. additionally i love lucio/djeeta a lot because lucio is sexy af HAHAHA BUT!!! you also have to look at this before you judge me
Tumblr media
fairy tail: natsu/lucy. theyre my comfort otp i think??? like i still lurk in their tags and search for their fanfics til now. i also sometimes reread their moments in manga because i love them that much. SHES HIS HOME GDI and natsu legit doesnt join a fight because hes super worried about lucy after her fathers death oh my god. my favourite moment is when natsu uses lucy fire its just so funny but describes their relationship so well!!!
ok i better stop here or else the post will never end HAHAHAHA its so long already im sorry if you read all of that

Chiisana koi no omoi wa todoku
fuck me and my writing urge being triggered by a tweet
Yoru: I like to drop hints that I’m single to Aoi
Yoru, laying face down on Aoi's room floor, weeping: WHY AM I SINGLEEEEEE
this prompt by: https://twitter.com/incorrectnenchu/status/1220728493870284800
Fanfic under the cut uwu
It was afternoon, the lights dim and the curtains were closed in Aoi’s room. The sun slowly setting and Aoi forgetting his surroundings, immersed in the moment. Said blonde laid in his bed, a pillow propped up to the head of his bed as he sat against it with a manga in his hand.
Just some manga Koi had lying around at one of the coffee tables in the common room, the cover piquing Aoi’s interest. He smiled contently as he flipped through the pages of the mecha-themed manga. ‘I can just imagine Koi’s excitement’ He thought as he read the scenes and giggled to himself.
Aoi was reading the manga when in the distance he could hear some running footsteps. A bit after a stumble and after that a thud against his door. It made him jump a little and he closed the manga he was reading. Looking somewhat bothered at his door.
On the other side of the door was an embarrassed Yoru who fumbled with the handle of the door to Aoi’s room. Yoru was flushed in his cheeks and ridiculed himself for his trembling hands. Eventually, he got the door open and quickly entered. Turning around immediately as he got inside and closed the door again. He let out a huff as he leaned against the door.
Dramatically but also comically letting himself slide down the door until he sat on the floor. He held his knees with his hand and stared at the ground in shock.
Once he was released from his trance he decided to spare a glance towards the blonde who looked at him with curious and slightly worried eyes. Yoru sighed as he cast his head down. Aoi getting up from lying down on his bed.
“Yoru….?” He spoke softly.
Aoi became a little worried and turned to sit at the edge of his bed, patting the spot beside him. Yoru smiled at him and then raised himself to his feet again. Slumping over to the bed and plopping down beside his blonde friend. Aoi then gave him eyes that questioned ‘what’s wrong?’, a puzzling look adorning Aoi angelic face. ‘Like a prince’ Yoru didn’t know how he did it but Aoi’s expressions spoke volumes, a trait not many of Gravi or Procella’s members had.
Yoru also couldn’t help but adore Aoi’s features when he looked at him so intently…..and with his cutely worried expression.
The way his hair fell around his face, which parts were out of place, which parts he had the urge to move out of his face. How his lashes curled ever so slightly and the twitching of his cerulean pearl-like eyes as he studied him. It just made him feel so happy and warm inside.
Yoru smiled to himself before he fumbled with his hands, trying to lose his train of thought. A slight blush creeping up on him again, as if the scene from before wasn’t enough.
“I walked in on You and Arata”
Aoi’s eyes widened in shock before squinting at the other.
“You mean-”
“Yup”
“As they were-” . . . “Yeah”
Aoi groaned and put his head into his hands, experiencing the second-hand embarrassment from Yoru. Yoru hummed in accordance to Aoi’s reaction.
“I was wearing earbuds and didn’t notice”
Aoi looked at Yoru again, peeking from behind his hands.
“Oh my god……Yoru”
Aoi glanced at him with his cheeks now tinted in red, probably imagining the scene.
“Oh man, we need drinks for this”
Aoi commented as he let himself fall on his back on the bed, spreading his arms out. Yoru chuckled as he got up from the bed, looking fondly at the sprawled out Aoi.
It was nice that they were able to get along this well. Yoru remembered when they first met, it was when both groups were introduced to each other. Arata and You getting along with each other pretty quickly as they bonded over which actress had the best….ahem…figure.
Yoru and Aoi were just really stuck with each other as everyone was talking to their opposite pairs. So they ended up spending time together, first talking about Arata and You, quickly realising they were both childhood friends to the other. They both laughed at the coincidence. It also didn’t take long for them to realise they had the same hobbies and their personalities matched. But what did surprise Aoi is that they like the same kind of music, it was kind of scary really, how their recently listened to play-list was basically the same. But all in all, it was great! They could get excited about recipes and new song releases. Both Yoru and Aoi really enjoyed spending time with the other. A sort of harmony forming between them.
“They’ve only been dating for like a week and I’ve already walked in on them three times”
Yoru said with a disgusted look on his face and tone to his voice. His face displaying his thoughts quite perfectly ‘yuck’.
“Going at it like rabbits” Aoi replied in a grumble as he raised his head to look at Yoru in realisation.
“No pun intended”
Yoru actually let out a laugh at that and turned back to Aoi before leaving. Being in thought for a moment before raising a finger to his chin.
“Where do you guys keep your sake?” Yoru asked as he smiled sweetly at Aoi, as if his question was ever-so-innocent. Aoi grinned but slightly raised a brow.
“Bottom cupboard to the left, but the strong stuff is stuffed in a box underneath the sofa”
Yoru raised a brow but turned around to find his way to the Gravi common room and get them some of that i-don’t-want-to-remember-this-drug.
Back at Aoi’s room, said boy had closed his eyes as he laid down blushing at the scene he was imagining. Picturing Arata and You as he couldn’t cancel out his curiosity.
‘Why am I even imagining this?’ He asked himself as he frowned. Shaking his head to get rid of the scene in his mind.
‘I need something else to think about’
Aoi bit his lip in thought as he opened his eyes again. His mind having wandered to the green-brunette that was just with him. Placing him inside of his mind, in a position completely inappropriate.
“UGH”
Aoi groaned loudly as he covered his face in frustration together with embarrassment. Slightly sobbing into his own bedsheets.
Truth be told. Aoi was having some difficulty regarding his feelings towards his white counterpart. It felt like when he looked at Yoru everything else behind him seemed to fade and only he shined. It just seemed to fit, when Yoru was in his point of view the world seemed right. ‘I can’t tell him that’ Aoi didn’t know how he should confess or if he even should.
As you would have it, Yoru chose that exact moment to return to the room. Aoi sat up straight and slapped his cheeks, looking guiltily at the other.
“I am sorry, Yoru”
Yoru cocked his head in confusion. The sincerity behind that sorry was kind of throwing him off.
“For what?”
The cute cock of his head was just too much for Aoi and he groaned again letting himself fall over on his bed. Yoru stood in the middle of the room with two beer cans in hand. Aoi then raised a hand in a grabbing motion which Yoru understood as Aoi needing a drink.
Yoru then went to sit next to the blonde again, opening his own can of beer and setting a bottle of sake to the side, which they would probably use in a bit. Yoru noticed the stare Aoi was giving him, eyeing him all over as he ended at his eyes again. He locked eyes with the other and Aoi seemed to study his face for a good few seconds, all while there was a blush present on his face, which made Yoru also blush. Thinking something along the lines of ‘Why is Aoi blushing ////’
Aoi then noticed the interlocking of their eyes and he looked away, bringing up the can of beer to his mouth to take a big gulp from it. Thinking for a second and then raising the can to his mouth again, downing all of the liquid in one go.
Yoru raised a brow at this, he was surprised, it was unlike motherly Aoi to forget about himself and just down a can of beer. But it did say something about the two. They were comfortable with each other.
Yoru chuckled as Aoi wiped his mouth and the blonde only grinned mischievously at him in return. He leaned over at Yoru and raised his beer can to his mouth, nudging him to drink. Yoru then decided to copy Aoi and drink it all in one go, only it didn’t go as smoothly for him. He had to start coughing and his throat slightly burned. He also started feeling dizzy quickly after that. Aoi pat him on the back and started snickering, to which he earned a glare from the other.
Aoi then, reached over for the bottle of sake, not even asking for the cups but bringing the bottle right to his mouth and drinking from it, turning to Yoru for him to drink as well.
“Hold…on”
Yoru said as he raised his hands and pushed back the bottle being brought to his mouth. Aoi then swallowed his gulp.
“You don’t get to see this side of you often Aoi”
“I have my reasons”
Aoi said as he pouted, nudging the bottle of sake towards Yoru.
Yoru only sighed before accepting the bottle.
The sake bottle was empty, multiple empty cans of beer were sprawled on the floor of Aoi’s bedroom and the two of them were filling the space with laughter and cries.
“BUT WHY AM I STILL SINGLEEEEEE”
Yoru screamed as he laid down on Aoi’s floor, rolling over and crying about being single, and You getting with Arata of all people.
Aoi burst out in laughter at that comment and couldn’t contain himself or stop himself from laughing, eventually doubling over. Yoru frowned at him in discontent.
“Aoi, so mean” Yoru pouted.
Aoi didn’t stop laughing, instead, he just looked at Yoru’s face and laughed even harder. For which Yoru stood up and went over to Aoi, shaking the blonde to get him to stop laughing. To which Aoi did simmer down to. His laughter slowly fading as he looked at Yoru with a big smile plastered on his face. He grinned.
Yoru pouted more as he still held onto Aoi, stopping his shaking. Aoi took a breath and then regained a regular expression which quickly turned into something mischievous.
“Yoru is pretty, I would date him”
“Eh?”
“Eh?”
The both of them had to process what Aoi just said. Aoi raised a hand to his mouth and then grinned again.
“Oops”
Yoru cocked his head, intriguing eyes looking at the blonde. Whose eyes shimmered with glee. Yoru then, as he held onto Aoi’s shoulders, moved his hands to the others’ hands. Removing the hand in front of Aoi’s mouth and putting their hands in Aoi’s lap.
Yoru felt time slow down, glancing away from Aoi before looking at the sea-blue dazed over eyes. Aoi’s grin nearly reaching his eyes. Yoru felt an impulse raise within him, something prickling his stomach and something aching in his heart. He leaned in slowly, moving his face to Aoi’s, holding on for a moment as he could feel the heat from the others’ face, but not yet letting their lips touch. Aoi’s breath seemed to stop for a second and he tensed, but as Yoru watched his reactions he seemed to wait for him.
Yoru then leaned back into Aoi as he closed his eyes, the other also gently closing their eyes. Their lips first grazing each other, hovering slightly before both of their soft lips touch each other sensitively.
They broke apart after a few seconds. Letting their eyes open half-lidded, searching the others’ orbs for a hint of what should be next. Yoru’s looked eager and Aoi’s seemed to already know what should be next. Aoi raised a hand to Yoru’s face and pulled him back into a kiss, before forming their lenient contact into a proper kiss. Yoru squeezed Aoi’s hands a little and Aoi squeezed them back. This was enough of an initiation for them both. It was Aoi who opened his mouth first, letting Yoru lead into deepening their kiss, to which he gladly complied. The taste of beer and sake present in both their mouths. Yoru couldn’t help but think he preferred the taste of sake in Aoi’s mouth. Aoi grinned into their kiss and let his hands reach for Yoru’s hair, pulling slightly at the strands in his neck. Yoru then took that opportunity to move from his position and push Aoi back onto the bed. They broke contact and Yoru raised himself to hover above Aoi, glancing down at a grinning blonde that bit his lip, his cheeks red from the alcohol, but Yoru couldn’t help but wonder if it was maybe also from their kiss.
‘That’s just too cute’
‘He’s so adorable’
It was something unexpected, something exciting, maybe even something daring. Who knew what they would think in the morning, all that mattered now, was this moment.

Sorry to bother you, but I keep seeing posts about a future Goten AU and I keep getting really curious! However, when I try to find links to anything about it I end up at some abandoned URLs.
SECOND TIME TRYING TO ANSWER THIS CAUSE MY IDIOT ASS FORGOT I HAD ONE TYPED OUT AND CLOSED EVERYTHING :)
some disclaimers im getting most of this from an old draft i had written about the au, i havent watched the specific scenes in dbz and dbs that these are based on in well over 2+ years so i dont remember the timeline of events that well so im sorry if some of it just straight up doesnt make sense lol
this whole thing did start out as an excuse to replace the romantic scenes with mai in dbs with goten actually so the truten themes are pretty significant but that aside future goten is a very good boy with a much different personality and outlook on things… much like how future trunks is compared to his main timeline counterpart :3c the whole thing was developed by me and my gf together and we never rly posted too much about it and the broken links you did end up finding were probably from like the one or two times we did but here u go im glad u asked 
I HOPE THE READ MORE LINK WORKS ON MOBILE IF NOT IM SORRY
the big change is it starts out with chi chi getting pregnant before goku dies of heart disease or whatever in the android saga instead of the cell saga, so even after he dies in that timeline she still has their 2nd son and he grows up in the future timeline with trunks.
when they were kids (like 10-15) goten was stronger than trunks just bc gohan and chi chi were there to teach him just a little bit. trunks and goten sparred a lot though so he was able to keep up but never really passed him. (that part isnt really important but i figured it was a nice detail that made sense)
thats when history of trunks comes into play, and they both get really serious about gohan training them. the scene in the movie where gohan knocks trunks out before flying off and getting killed is the same except now he just knocks out 2 kids instead of 1 i guess. 
i feel i gotta add that this au was created when the future trunks arc in dbs was airing, and mai was introduced as his love interest, and honestly in my opinion the scenes were written really well but i just wasnt digging the fact that before she was granted a younger appearance she was already middle aged, like she was old enough to be his mom if that makes sense. so it really isnt a dig on mai at all cause i love her and id die for her its just the romantic plot that i didnt like. so when that was airing i thought “WELL what if that was someone else” 
she’s still with them though in this timeline and she still has her younger appearance! 
the future timeline is still progressing the same as it did in canon, the androids still wrecked the place and no one was strong enough to do much about it so trunks is still set up with a time machine to meet with the other timeline. goten stays back and does his best to protect everyone while hes gone just in case
some stuff happens in between here but skip ahead to trunks coming back from the trip after the cell games i guess! lots of stuff happened obviously like trunks literally dying, spending years in the time chamber with his dad, meeting a whole gaggle of clowns that he’d only heard stories about, seeing gohan as a preteen. hes got a lot of stuff to share!!! now hes back and he can take care of the androids + cell + and goten can catch up and lifes pretty good over there! 😇
during the rebuilding period goten would spend a lot of time with chi-chi and ox-king and still slept over there occasionally which she really appreciated, and he invited trunks and bulma over there with him frequently.
despite this he wasnt present when she died as no one really expected goku black to wipe out the landscape so far from the city, but she and ox-king died along with more than half of the population. (ugh god im so sorry queen i love you😓)
as i said before mai is still here and she’s still the leader of the resistance!
events of future bulmas death is the same as well as mai originally intending to go with trunks when they meet up together in an abandoned building. goten is already there as the three of them rest up a bit and start making their way to capsule corp. goten was planning on staying behind anyways but he wanted to see the two of them off. when goku black interrupts them as they arrive, trunks and goten encourage mai to escape, seeing as she only has a gun and everyone already knows bullets arent gonna work. 
this scene is the same as it was in canon, where trunks tries to rush black but gets beaten quickly. mai trying to buy him time to let him escape is replaced with goten actually fighting him and taking a hit for trunks but getting knocked out as mai did. trunks under extreme stress from already losing his mom today assumes hes dead instantly, (he has dumb bitch disease, he didnt even check for a pulse in canon!🤔) and fires a masenko to escape into capsule on his own 
after trunks pops back in time and black is focused on searching for him, mai sneaks back in to retrieve goten (even though they told her to leave she really just ducked behind some rubble and stayed close, because she wasnt just gonna leave them!)
she takes him back to an underground bunker with other members of earths resistance and when he wakes up she tells him that trunks made it to the time machine and that hes presumably in the other timeline now. 
idk if yall remember it well but i rewatched some of the episodes just for this, and trunks in the main timeline believing goten was killed and mai is alone and he wont be able to get back is so sad. and when he spent that day with gohan and his family and cried thinking about how if black hadn’t have shown up, he couldve had a family too… he doesnt deserve to be this sad 😥
skip to when he’s finally able to get back home with goku and vegeta with him and they make their way to the bunker where he sees mai and goten together! the scene in canon where he rushes over and starts spilling his heart out is the same, with him telling goten he thought he died

they get a really sweet hug moment here when theyre both happy to see the other is still safe and it gives both goku and vegeta some Food For Thought, because goku actually didnt know there was a goten in this timeline, and he doesnt really recognize him at first. vegeta has the idea in his head that this is probably goten.
goten never really had any sort of real attachment to his dad. it makes sense hes never met him, hes only ever really heard about him through others, (his mom, his brother, trunks, and probably bulma has mentioned him as well) so he definitely knows OF him its just that, he doesnt know him. so when he sees the real goku standing there for once a lot of thoughts run though his mind, like, “that looks A LOT like goku black!” “thats definitely my old hairstyle” and “holy shit is that my dad?” but the first thing he actually says out loud is “Holy shit its goku orange” and vegeta really almost loses it because cause any doubt in his mind about this kid being related to kakarot just went right out the window cause only someone related to him would say that
and as you probably know a lot happens after that with them all finding a way to defeat zamasu but i dont want to include all of the rest when you can probably just interpret which scenes were changed  
ANYWAYS now instead of trunks surviving the apocalypse its trunks and goten surviving the apocalypse. thats why its not a really super romantic deal like Who has time for dates when goku black Might possibly be hiding in this abandoned olive garden?? so theyre just very close and privately affectionate
the ending where trunks and mai get to live in a new world with their counterparts is the same except gotens there with them of course, dbs left their ending pretty open 
so that takes care of the story changes, heres some additional details and information on gotens character in this au! 
heres his design, drawn by my girlfriend @ssj2 uwu !! 
Tumblr media
he kept his natural hairstyle for a while, but i think he changed it sometime during the rebuilding period after the androids and just let it grow out a bunch. up until then he kept his natural style purely to honor the guy he’s heard so fondly of even if it brought him a lot of mixed feelings when people said he looks just like him. a really distinct feature about his new hairstyle is that the spikes look like horns and i love that a lot !!
Tumblr media
and the shawl he wears was the same one chi chi wore 
some personality traits for future goten is that he has a habit of bottling up his negative emotions and has trouble taking care of himself, as hes always more focused on the well being of his loved ones. he can be mischievous and cocky but hes not overconfident (or he hasnt been since gohans death) however in some situations he can be charismatic and assertive which works really well imowhen their timeline is erased and theyre temporarily in the main timeline, goten gets to meet a bunch of people like gohan and his family, chi chi, and even his counterpart 
sorry if this post was messy i wasnt really sure how i wanted to make it look and im kinda bad at dumping information out so if any of its confusing just redirect me to it and ill try again gdjfksjdgsfk 😭❤
hmmm anyways thank u for reading!! its an au we made years ago and we love a lot and i hope u do too! be nice pls!! and send asks about it if you’d like cause its fun to think about!

“slav has been greatly and painfully misunderstood by this fandom” - a manifesto, by me
Okay, this started in a fandom saltiness discussion on — in which I literally said, “I AM ALWAYS UP TO BE SALTY ABOUT SLAV.… More specifically, about how fandom treats Slav” — so that’s where it’s coming from, and I have done very little to clean it up after copy-pasting.
TL;DR: The VLD fandom tends to treat Slav as either hilarious or completely above reproach (sometimes both), which annoys me — because he actually is a fascinating character (at least, he is to me), and I dislike the way he is boiled down to either a joke about, “LMAO SPACE OCD!!!” or turned into a “~pure precious cinnamon roll uwu~” who only resembles his canon counterpart kinda vaguely, if you tilt your head a bit to the left and squint
As a character, I think Slav can be fascinating because, if you actually examine his actions? He is a fucking dick
He’s a reclusive genius who has the intelligence and skill and talent to get away with being a fucking asshole, and yes, he clearly has SOME kind of issue (whether it’s ““space OCD,”” literally seeing all of the possibilities in alternate realities, or some cracked out combination of both)…… But he also isn’t an ~uwu precious cinnamon roll~ and his legitimate issues are not an excuse for the ways that he treats other people (which are largely abysmal)
Like, let’s get this out of the way: Slav is not completely ignorant of how the fuck social cues and nuances work, the way that I’ve seen some people try to say of him in fandom. He picks up on them pretty well, actually, and he figures out exactly why Lance mistook Laika for Slav when Lance had spent however long with her, only hearing her go, “YUP!!” and didn’t put two and two together
So, it stands to reason that Slav KNOWS what he is doing and KNOWS how to act in ways that DON’T make everyone get pissed off at him — but he CHOOSES NOT TO ACT LIKE THAT. Instead, he CHOOSES to act like a big bag of dicks and make everyone else do things his way, even when his way is obstructive as Hell and slows everything down
And let’s be real: Shiro had to all but bodily drag him out of Beta Traz, even going, “Hey man, we’re working with the Blade of Marmora to take down Zarkon, we need you” didn’t get him up and at’em at first, and Slav fought Shiro about everything, every step of the way.
Consider this: Slav fought to stay somewhere that he was constantly tortured and pumped for information that would be used against and used to oppress the people of the entire known universe because he was so completely certain (despite acknowledging, when it’s convenient for him, that there are infinite possibilities and things could always go in so many different ways) that fighting Zarkon was a lost cause and didn’t want to be bothered. He is so certain that he is going to die that he doesn’t even want to TRY (“Oh noooo, even worse. In 98-and-three-one-hundredths of a percent of realities with a prison break, I DIE.”)
When Shiro shows up to break him out, he tries appealing to Slav as a potential rescuer (”I’m here to rescue you, I’m a paladin of Voltron”).
That fails, so he tries appealing to Slav out of some belief that Slav might care about the life and freedom of the peoples of the known universe (“What? We’re finally going to stop Zarkon. We have the Olkari and the Blade of Marmora on our side. But without you, we can’t do it.”)
Slav only finally relents because the Blue Lion can emit a frequency that falls within his lucky range of terahertz — and even then, he fights Shiro every step of the way, about absolutely everything
While Shiro is, y’know, putting himself on the line and risking death to save this asshole who he just met and doesn’t even know for sure can help (—which, yeah. Ulaz is trustworthy and Shiro cares about him, and Kolivan clearly backs up his recommendation if saving Slav is so necessary to the plan. But Shiro is still going on hearsay rather than direct evidence, and he doesn’t really have a choice on that, but still. He is risking his life for an asshole who might not even be all he’s cracked up to be, because Shiro believes that Slav is necessary to take down Zarkon)
And then Slav gets going with the, “YOUR ROBOT ARM IS FANTASTIC DON’T YOU WANT TWO OF THEM” shit
Just. Oh my god. I get it, he doesn’t know how Shiro came to have that arm, but COME ON. It’s understandable that Shiro might not appreciate that shit, and Slav is so flippant about it because thinking about other people’s perspectives or experiences is not a thing that he cares about doing
AND THIS! IS!! AN INTERESTING!!! CHARACTER!!! (to me)
Slav is interesting because he’s an asshole. He’s someone you would only put up with if you needed him, because he uses his intelligence to make himself totally necessary and uses his legitimate problems to generate enough fucking sympathy that people feel bad about trying to argue with him
It isn’t even entirely the fandom’s fault when we mischaracterize him, because Show treats all of this as funny — and okay, yes, I laughed at some of it as much as anyone else did because Josh and Iqbal Theba sold it with their voice acting — but if you take a closer look at what Slav does and how it affects the people around him, literally none of this is fucking funny
And he clearly has the potential to NOT BE THIS GUY, because Mirror!Slav is a badass. Yeah, he still talks out his ass about alternate realities — and apparently he does it enough for Sven to be Exasperated by it, but Mirror!Slav puts himself on the line to save other people (both when he tries to help the Paladins and in general, as a member of the Guns of Gamara)
Mirror!Slav LISTENS to people — like, yeah, he’s all, “None of you have ever rescued me from any goddamn place” but in that particular scene, he isn’t exactly acting in a way I’d call unreasonable. He and Sven just wandered into five armed, unknown combatants who started babbling about Sven being some dude called Shiro AND one of them is Altean, when the Mirror!Alteans are an evil empire (and she’s the spitting image of their evil empress from 10,000 years ago)
But then, when push shoves, he listens to what they’re saying and makes the same, “OH GOSH YOU’RE FROM AN ALTERNATE REALITY” conclusion as Pidge, and HE CHOOSES TO TRUST THEM. Sven is the one going, “dude are you sure about this, it’s dangerous” while Mirror!Slav is all, “If they’re really my friends from an alternate reality, they are probably cool people and we can probably trust them, now let’s go fuck shit up for the cause of galactic freedom”
Mirror!Slav tells the paladins to get the Hell out of dodge while he patches Sven up when Slav Prime is That Asshole who, after the big fight with Zarkon when they have no idea if Shiro and Allura are going to be okay, is all, “IT’S COOL GUYS, I’M OKAY” (“Oh great, Slav made it” — Lance, being 5,000% Done and rightfully so).
Slav Prime is also the one who refuses to let Shiro step on a crack because of some infinitesimally small chance that it MIGHT break his mother’s back IN SOME FUCKING REALITY — NOT EVEN THE PRIME REALITY SPECIFICALLY, BUT IN SOME REALITY. And the one who refuses to go on one of Shiro’s alternate escape routes because you can hear the water running — it isn’t even running into the escape hatch, there is no direct risk of drowning, but OH MAN you can HEAR the water running!!! and Slav is afraid of drowning
Thing is? I get it. Triggers suck. I have triggers of my own. I have dealt with panic attacks, OCD, intrusive thoughts, and so many other things that the fandom likes to attribute to Slav (whether there’s a good case for that in canon or not) — but when it comes to triggers? Sometimes, they are unavoidable and you have to deal with them, and yes, it fucking sucks, but you CAN do it.
An example of a moment when enduring the triggering material and dealing with it would be helpful? When the fate of the entire known universe is on the line and you are obstructing the fight for freedom and peace by being a difficult, egocentric asshole who expects everyone else to cater to you
This is basically where my characterization of Slav in the latest chapter of my fic came from. In my AU, he’s…… well. A difficult, egocentric asshole who gets annoyed when people don’t give him what he wants because Fuck You He Is A Genius, Y’all Just Can’t Keep Up, and he wants Shiro to be his friend because he actually acknowledges that Shiro is kind of a genius in his own right, but Slav just…… Doesn’t Understand
(Read: CHOOSES NOT TO UNDERSTAND)
[this is where @dratiniquest chimed in to say that my take on Slav is kind of like the fusion of Rick Sanchez and Sheldon Cooper]
He doesn’t/chooses not to understand why Shiro doesn’t agree with a life philosophy that basically boils down to, “I am a genius, therefore I should get what the fuck I want, when I want it, and everyone should just agree with me unless I acknowledge their genius, everyone else is too small-minded to keep up”
He also doesn’t get why Shiro…… has no desire for “greatness,” like?? You are a genius, Takashi. It is so rare that Slav acknowledges this for other people, so you are pretty amazing. Why don’t you want to do great things
Shiro: “……Because I already tried doing that out of loyalty to the grandfather I was named after, and it made me miserable and eventually suicidal (whether actively or not), helped me develop an eating disorder, kept me in an abusive relationship that almost killed me more than once, and landed me in rehab for alcohol and opiates at twenty-three. Greatness is overrated”
Shiro: “I just want to make my music, stay sober, keep not hurting myself, maintain the relationships I care about, and someday, wake up next to the guy I love and be able to genuinely mean it when I tell him, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is’”
Slav: “……………freaking weirdo”
Also belatedly: yes, Slav kind of is a fusion of Sheldon and Rick, like. He’s a Fluorite level fusion. Sheldon, Rick, Slav Prime from canon, a little bit of Mirror!Slav, and my conspiracy theorist father.
[and then the conversation kinda turned to yelling about how Sven is fine because he got to the space hospital and anyway, the point is that Slav is really interesting in canon, but oh my god, the majority of fanon!Slav is nothing like how Slav acts in canon]

If you and Micheal were created more or less together, what was it like when the younger two were made? Did you get to see it?
meta / hc
.......... i’m gonna cheat and post a bit of an off blog bit of writing @tcrniishedcopper​ and i did in GDocs XD 
we have spent A LOT of time trying to figure out how this all works, and goes together, it’s a whole huge doc and if you want to read it i don’t think that’d be a problem just hmu and i’ll drop you a link. ANYWAYS, snippet from beneath the cut uwu
“ he'd been summoned, which in itself was interesting because his Father had been a bit short with him recently, but he was willing to overlook that. Yahweh was busy, creating, shaping, making, though he was still miffed that He had made a counterpart for Michael first. Michael was like the rest of them, and they irritated Samael unto death. it wasn't until he'd arrived that he understood, eyes blazing with their own light, swallowing it and offering it back brighter than it had been. he could feel in his bones what was happening, sneaking forward, his hand hovering before pulling back, wings quivering in anticipation that didn't show on his face. the wings hadn't been shaped yet, he noted, the flesh still shifting restlessly as bones settled, hair grew, his gaze shifting to Yahweh.
     ‘my counterpart?’
just needed to hear the words, not wanted, needed, reaching out to touch the warm darkness that was Gabriel's hair, pausing only a hair's breath away before absently threading his fingers through the wind roughed feathers on his wings. gaze locked on the angel that was meant to be companion and all for him, Samael yanked one loose feeling it disintegrate where his skin pressed, crumbled down to little more than nothing, before seeing the press of something beneath Gabriel’s skin. the body jerked as the wings forced their way out from beneath the skin, hanging limply for a moment before curling protectively around the shape that was still settling, Samael’s gaze moving across the feathers still damp, watching the red slowly fall away leaving the feathers bright white. well that was vaguely disappointing, ignoring Yaweh’s amusement, moving closer and skimming his fingers over the sheen to them, watching it deepen to a rich copper, a smile tugging at his lips. where his own were rich red, orange, accents, Gabriel’s was the colour between.
      ‘Gabriel, that's his name.’
it occurred to him that the name had come to him as his fingers had trickled through dark locks, that he'd been thinking it, but now he said it aloud and watched as eyes opened, showing a light kissed blue as feet lowered to the ground. Samael felt the Word of God flow through Gabriel’s body, felt it quicken with life, unable to resist his own wings flaring out as his arms spread, just the echo of it warmed him inside and out. when his eyes opened again the presence of Yahweh was gone, leaving the newly created angel before him. his, was the thought that whispered through his mind, his Gabriel. 
___
    Energy. That’s all there was at first, all there had been after the darkness was pulled back. Bright and clear and warm. Radiating.  A vibration. Pulsing at a thrum before it was pulled and molded, taking shape form...a form the form itself wasn’t conscious of yet.  The form conscious only of the light and energy.  Not of the pale skin that dressed muscle and bones, or of the long fingers that were coaxed and molded from palms, or of the hair that shifted from near white to a deep dark coloration. A swath of thick, wavy hair  that feel around a face whose features had just begun to settle. The form knowing nothing of this. Knowing nothing of it’s own creation as it was shaped into existence. Nor anything about the set of golden eyes that closely watched proceedings.
 The addition of something, something else to the light, made the forms body jerk.  An awareness of...other...flowing through the vibrations. The Other mingling with the light and warmth. Rich red wings penetrating out of pale flesh, feathers soft,  wings limp before curling in a protective cocoon around the form. The red bleeding away to reveal pristine white, tipped with a deep, near reflective copper.  The form’s shape settling. Skin no longer shifting and morphing.  Flatten now. Smoothing.
    Gabriel
            Gabriel
  A heartbeat sparked awake at the name. The vibrating thrum forming into something more cohesive, something stronger as he recognized his name. Gabriel. Pale blue eyes opening slowly. Feeling the fierce, wonderful,  rush of the Word roll through him, his grace, like a first intake of breath. Bathed in it. Chest expanding with it before releasing as his feet touched the ground. Feeling it shudder through wings that were tightly pressed to his back. The edges of his vision clearing with the dissipating of Yahweh’s presence, the blur peeling away as Gabriel looked out for the first time.  The face of the Other the first thing he sees. He knows it’s the Other. Knows it like a breath. There was another word for the Other, he could feel it dancing on the edge of his tongue as he looked into golden eyes…..brother….yes, but something else too, something more..
    ‘ Samael…’
      Movement forward was automatic, feet shifting on cool ground toward Samael, easy, fluid….what was he doing? What is this? His legs,...there’s a name for this….wait, there was Something on his skin, a Something all over him...a wetness….why is there a we-...
    Legs misstepped, stumbling, balance thrown and lost as he lurched forward, coordination lost. Unable to regains it. Limbs suddenly not cooperating.  Wings tucked to his back, useless. Gabriel tipping forward like an infant taking their first steps on unstable legs. Blue eyes never leaving Samael’s face.
