best friend
feat — gojo satoru
contents & warnings — not proofread because im fucking lazy, mutual pining, friends to lovers, suggestive content, gojo being a dork as per usual
a/n — guys i’m sorry for writing ANOTHER gojo fic but he’s just so fun to write. this is slowly turning into a gojo blog (i hate him). ALSO, im actually a dc girl so i’m with my pookie on this one,,, but like at the same time i might prefer starwars… it’s hard out here, they’re both so peak. um!!! as you can tell i’m oddly passionate about all this comic and movie shit from my stupid rambling so im just gonna stop!!!
Tumblr media
you and your best friend satoru trek indoors, both sweaty and fatigued from the blazing summer heat. you’re still finishing off the popsicle that gojo generously bought for you from the convenience store, for the whopping price of ¥180 (a true gentleman, he is). he claimed to be donating to charity, with you being a charity case – so in response you simply kicked him in the back of his knees which resulted him folding like a foldable chair. 
gojo was mindlessly chewing on the remains of his popsicle – that being the stick – and shoves his hands into his pockets. you were both passionately arguing over which franchise was better, and it was quickly becoming more and more heated. 
“dc is soo much better than marvel! what are you talking about?” he whines, pulling his hands out of his pockets and positioning them in a questioning, exasperated manner for the sake of exaggeration and his strong opinion. 
“no! no! no! marvel is cooler, and the movies are top tier. are dc movies as successful as marvel movies? no, i don’t think so.” you defend yourself, pointing an accusatory finger at gojo with some swagger. 
“well yeah, marvel movies are generally better but we’re talking about EVERYTHING, and everyone knows dc comics are superior. ‘cause, you know, the storylines are deeper and over all more interesting. and have you seen some of the art? arkham asylum’s art is insane! ALSO, CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW ICONIC BATMAN IS?” 
“i could say the same about spiderman. and iron man–” 
he cuts you off, “okay then, joker too!” 
“shut up! alright, fine… one point to marvel for movies, and one point to dc for comics.” you announce, albeit begrudgingly. 
“hold on, y/n.” leaning forward and wagging his finger stupidly, “there’s still more to it! what about games? or merch? lego adaptations? or even cartoons! maybe we could even add star wars to the mi–” 
“enough! it’s too hot for this, satoru! we can settle this later, and maybe even bring suguru as well, to defend his case for star wars.” 
a flash of disappointment shines upon his face at the mention of suguru, but maybe you were just seeing things. could it be that he was possibly saddened at the thought of his close friend being here? but why? maybe it’s because he wants to be alone with yo– 
‘no, shut up y/n!’ you think to yourself, ‘that’s obviously not the case…’ a small, sad after thought. you blame it on the lingering crush you had on your bestfriend and inwardly sigh. 
after the disappointed face that you claimed to notice, he flashes you a dopey grin and leans back. “alright, fine! you’re on! and damn, it is getting hot. i mean, even hotter. hotter than it was before, like previously–” he stops, “am i.. am i rambling?” 
“well, no. i mean, er– yes, yes you are. but it’s–” you giggle, “it’s cool, satoru. don’t sweat it!” your chest suddenly fills with a warmth, a different kind of warmth to the one the surface of your skin was feeling. 
he recovers and starts, “well, anyway…” he then abruptly takes his shirt off and throws it over his shoulder, his chiselled torso being revealed to you which raises heat to your face.
inside, you're panicking, ‘ohmygod.. what is happening? why is he stripping? huuuh..?’ 
he retrieves a wet rag and drags it across his body, creating wet droplets on his skin which was way more erotic than it should’ve been. the cool rag relieves him of the uncomfortable heat and he groans lowly, tilting his head up.
at the sound, you flush an even deeper red and panic even more, ‘oh my god! why? why is he so casual about this? i mean, how would he feel if i were to suddenly strip and wash myself with a wet towel? and make erotic noises as well! or am i making this an even bigger deal than it is? curse me and my brain…’ 
you stare shamefully at him, averting your eyes every now and then as an attempt to protect your wavering dignity. 
he catches your eye, and a shit eating grin presents itself on his face, “y/n? you alriiight? why is your face so red?” he teases, elongating his words and taking the piss out of you. 
you position yourself into a fighting stance, and retort defensively, “what? my face isn’t red! what are you talking about?” 
“why are you getting so riled up then? i’m only pulling your tail, ya know! unless you're actually flustered?” he quipped, inching closer to you. 
“go to hell gojo!” 
“why are you so flustered anyway?” he inquired, as if he wasn’t displaying his god-like body in front of you like a piece of exquisite art, “wait!” he lets out an exaggerated gasp, raising his hand to his mouth and you prepare yourself for the ‘shocking’ revelation his stupid little head cooked up, “you’re staring at my body! heeeey!” 
you grind your teeth, about to swing your fist at him. 
“i mean, i don’t blame you. girls are crazy over me.” he boasts, making you feel even more idiotic, “but hey, i’m crazy over you too!” you halt your actions and pause. 
“wait… what?” you croak out.
“you best believe it, pretty!” 
“you… you like me?” stunned by this unexpected declaration, “you like me, too?”
the boy smiles fondly at you, “of course. i just didn’t know how to confess… so i simply decided to do it on a whim, ya know – when my heart felt the fullest and all that cheesy crap.” 
“awww. gojo, you like me! that’s so cute!” 
his face gains an adorable pink flush, uncharacteristically flustered from your comment, and he sputters out, “wait what? why are the tables turning? when did the tables turn? how are the tables turning?!” 
giggling behind your hands, you assured him good naturedly, “well, just so you know. i like you too.” 
deadpanning at you, “i figured.” 
giggling once more, you twirl towards him and place a sweet kiss on the cheek of your now ex-best friend.
(bonus)
satoru smiles at the contact, but a burning question arrises, “so wait, does this mean we’re boyfriend and girlfriend now?”
you ponder for a moment, scrunching your face — gojo copying your expression, “err yeah, i think so! is that how it works?”
“how about i take you out on a date, pretty?” he suggests, finger gunning at you and flashing his signature goofy grin.

omg what about being friends with dream and him being in denial abt having feelings for you but then someone just openly says like “oh, yeah y/n’s definitely hot. like- dream! you’re friends with her right? would you mind putting in a good word for me?” I LIVE FOR JEALOUS DREAM
pairing: Dream x gn!reader
warnings: swearing, KINDA SUGGESTIVE BUT DEF NOT NSFW also not proofread
requested? yes!! i actually combined 2 requests! because they were SOOOO similar this was the second one: "maybe jealous best friend dream?? angst from dream being jealous to fluff?? maybe a forced confession??"
word count: 0.7k
a/n: i love karl i just didnt know who to put as the second person so i used karl im sorry guys :(
Tumblr media
“Welcome to the stream! Woo this is great, what the heck,” y/n laughs a bit at the chat spamming and delaying every couple seconds. “Today fellas we are going to be joined by the one the only Dream!” their voice raises at the announcement of Dream’s name. “Hello guys!” Dreams voice pops through the mic as he appears from out of frame. “Wow chat loves me more than you, y/n,” he jokes laughing as y/n gasps whacking him softly on the stomach. “We also have another special guest in my house and on stream today,” y/n smiles widely as Karl appears from where Dream did. “Karl mother fucking Jacobs people!” they scream giddily. “Woo! I am here people!” Karl says really close to the mic.
“y/n stand up for a second,” Dream whispers to them as Karl loads up Spotify to play some background music. Before y/n has a chance to say anything when they stand up Dream sits down and pulls y/n onto his lap resting his arms around their waist and onto their lap. “Dreams trying to seduce me guys help,” they laugh leaning back onto his chest a bit. “What the,” Karl turns around to see what the commotion is. His eyes are fixated on what is happening, causing Dream to tighten his grip around y/n’s waist. “Should we start?” y/n suggests holding their hands out for Karl to drag them both closer to their desk. “Today chat us three are going to be playing Just Dance!” y/n says in a funky voice making Karl laugh and Dream again tighten his grip around them, like they were a stress ball or something. “Okay to play this we actually have to be standing believe it or not Dreamy,” they start forcing themself out of his death grip laughing, making Dream smile a bit.
“Thank you, guys, so much for watching! If you have been here since we started, I am sorry you had to watch 4 hours of us idiots but if you are just tuning in don’t worry, I will be making a YouTube video with clips soon! I am going to raid uh, who is streaming, Foolish! Have fun watching Foolish, mwah!” y/n waves goodbye to the camera before turning it off, Dream and Karl had already left to get them three dinner leaving y/n alone.
-
The car ride home from getting the takeaway was dead silent expect for the soft sounds of Dream’s music he was playing on AUX. He’s borrowing y/n’s car and didn’t want to mess with the radio. Karl sat in the passenger seat scrolling aimlessly through his phone. “Its so quiet,” Karl laughs a bit awkwardly. “Sorry,” Dream mumbles turning his music up slightly.
Karl begins to tap his fingers on his knee to the song, which seems to annoy Dream. What now he’s going to take his music taste. “So, Dream you know how we are here with y/n right?” Karl asks the obvious. “Really? Didn’t notice,” he replies eyes focused solely on the road ahead. “Well, I think they are so beautiful, and I was wondering if you could maybe put in a good word for me. Just because you have known them longer.” His voice never wavered sure his friend would do this for him. “No,” Dream replies pulling into y/n driveway. “W-what?” he looks over at him, but he is already out the car with the takeout bags.
“Y/n, come here please,” Dream calls once he enters their house, Karl following a couple feet behind him. “What’s up Dreamy,” y/n walks around the corner in Dreams merch hoodie and bike shorts, his eyes soften a bit, he places the bags down and walk up to y/n. “You’re mine, right?” he whispers once he is close to them. “Yours?” they look up at him. “Mine, no label but mine,” he clarifies. “Not Karl’s, not Georges, no one but mine,” he’s eyes flicker from their eyes to their lips. “Totally yours,” they whisper so quietly he could almost not hear it. “Good,” he leans down and kisses their lips, his hands softly holding their cheeks as if they would break. When they both pull away y/n smiles, “You got jealous of Karl didn’t you,” they laugh. “Shut up,” he pushes them away a little before pulling them back by the waist.

hello! so i was lucky enough to snag a ticket to the tgcf donghua s2 fan screening right here in singapore, so here's a short report on the happenings! under the read more as there will be spoilers including those from the novel
arrived at around 1:20pm and it already looked like a full house! lots of people queueing at the photobooths and stuff, LOTS of cosplayers, mainly hualian and beefleaf. after a while i asked an usher about the merch booth but it was already closed due to the long queue, so i just went to find my seat which was near the back (in front of a bunch of cosplayers haha)
the hall had at least eight screens but none were positioned in a way where i didn't have to turn/crane my neck lol i can still feel the strain
the screening itself started at about 10 minutes past 2pm! we first had some voice actor greetings first, both of shi qingxuan's voice actors seemed to have received the loudest cheers from my pov! all of them ended their greeting with 天官赐福,百无禁忌
there was also a quick announcement of another tgcf collab cafe in 2024! sg just keeps winning and winning
after that we finally started the screening with a recap of s1 starting from the cart scene all through the banyue arc. xie lian's lines were all newly voiced by his new voice actor deng youxi, and he sounded alright to me! (note: not 100% sure that he did replace jgt's voicing but that's what i remember, correct me if im wrong!)
more than an hour of s1 later, we smoothly transitioned into the first episode of s2, and the following are some highlights and points:
s2 is still based on the unrevised novel as far as i can tell
everyone loves shi qingxuan!!
ghost city is very extravagant and fun! lots of quirky ghosts, there's joss paper flying around everywhere
xl's 不举 was omitted even though it's already rated m18 lol
the part where hc teaches xl to shake the dice has a lot of hand touching and cute reactions from the ghosts and sqx and lqq
a LOT of teasing leading up to the reveal of hc's true form, they'd show part of his face, his hand, his boots, and when he stepped out from behind the curtain and xl laid eyes on him for the first time there were shoujo bubbles
also A LOT OF SCREAMING FROM THE AUDIENCE tbh it was already loud enough throughout the gambling scene it was just hilarious
frankly i couldn't see hc clearly cuz, bad seat, but we all know how he looks like anyway
idk if it's just mE but the audio of the entire screening had its pitch raised, all the songs were a key higher, everyone sounded higher-pitched...... to ward people from secretly recording it?
feels bad for fulgur cuz it feels like most of the audience didn't care about him? half of them left their seats for the photobooths during his q&a segment
quiz time was interesting......
for "what is hc's weapon?" the host accepted the answer E-Ming, as in the person who answered said cAPITAL LETTER OF THE ALPHABET E which i would personally not accept as correct but o wells
the last question was "what did hc give to xl at the end of s1?" and the lucky person who answered very precisely said "his ashes in the form of a ring" and the host went aRe YoU sUrE and tried to make us recall an oBjEcT and i think we were all second-guessing ourselves there lmao please get a host who did their homework next time
pretty sure that was a huge spoiler for donghua-only fans tho HAHA
after the event was over i hung around texting friends and then tried to see if the merch booth was available but all the nice merch was sold out, and frankly just thinking of trying the queues at the photobooths was mentally draining so i just left haha
overall it was a great experience! watching and reacting together with so many other fans is truly a rare experience and despite going solo i had fun!
excellent door gifts too, the acrylic stand is of great quality and is now set up and sitting on my mxtx shelf~

Shinsou Hitoshi x gn!reader
warnings: mostly just fluffy banter but the word fuck is used once if that’s not your thing!, Shinsou is a tadbit insecure but that’s mostly because he’s a needy baby and its all light-hearted. wordcount: 1.4k content: FLUFF, SFW, genderneutral reader!, poc!friendly reader, banter, canon compliant, established relationship, prohero!shinsou and prohero!reader but reader’s quirk isn’t mentioned, ‘babe’ and ‘my love’ is used as petnames for shinsou, shinsou is needy, eri is a budding pro hero!!!, not beta’d
notes: HI HEY HELLO THIS IS FOR THE LOVELY LUNA / @cup-of-fluff TIME TO SHINE COLLAB!!!! (go check out the other amazing works!!!). imo shinsou might be reserved with love until he’s had a taste of it and then hes NEEDY. physical affection and home-y traditions are whats his driving force!!!!! this was so much fun to write but i do apologize if its very self-indulgent!!! i hope you enjoy it and have some laughs as well <333 (the title is the danish word for jealousy btw, im just having fun with not being good at titles 🤡🥰✨) also fun fact, the cat is named flour but it’s a tabby <3
Tumblr media
Shinsou unlocks the front door and hurries inside to take shelter from the biting wind. It’s been another cold day and he can’t help the shiver that runs down his spine upon feeling the temperature change inside the entrance of your shared home. He drops his sports bag and huffs out breaths into his palms to heat them back up – maybe he can tuck them safely around your waist and regain warmth from cuddles. He can’t help but smile at the thought.
“I’m home!”
He waits for your reply as he toes off his shoes at the genkan but none comes. He calls out your name and a low, “I’m in here!” is heard from the direction of the bedroom. He cocks up an eyebrow before making his way through your home to check what you’re up to. On the way through the living room he stops by the scratching post to greet Flour who eagerly purrs and butts into his open palm. In a high-pitched voice he asks the feline about his day and tells him how much he’s missed him. Dramatically, he gives a short re-telling of his shift and how he apprehended a villain with no shortages in sound effects. Shinsou won’t admit it, but he half expects and hopes that you’re leaning up against the doorframe, smiling at him and in a teasing voice, will tell him he’s cute. When he looks up to check, you aren’t there and his brows furrow before a pout forms.
When Flour jumps down from the post, stretches, and continues to the kitchen, Shinsou decides to continue his quest to receiving head scratches himself as he holds you close – it’s 11pm and he’s had an all-day shift due to shortage at the agency. Yesterday, you had a night shift, so he hasn’t actually seen you in well over 24 hours.
 In the bedroom you’re sitting in a thinking position with your legs propped underneath you, your head rested in your palm as you’re eyeing several items on the bed with an almost comical seriousness. He repeats his words from when he arrived with a quizzical look, “I’m home?”
Shinsou likes family-related traditions – having someone to announce he’s home to fills him with a soft love that he can’t quite place other than in the deepest parts of his heart and you know this. So when you’re so caught up in something else, he can’t help the way his underlip juts out. He’s well aware that he’s being a baby.
“Ah, yeah, sorry babe, welcome home,” you reply without even looking at him before you pick up a plushie. Upon further inspection Shinsou recognizes the design – he hasn’t seen it in plushie-form before, but the color scheme and patterns make him smile brightly as pride fills his chest.
“Is that an Eri plushie?”
You smile and nod, “this is the prototypes. It’s her first merch so she’s so nervous she asked me to look them over,” you explain as you turn the soft doll version of his little sister around in your palm. “…there’s something about the color of her eyes on this though, it’s off.”
Shinsou shuffles over to the side of the bed to take a look – but with only the nightlamp on, he can’t really tell much, so with a chuckle he goes to turn on the overhead lights – you must’ve sat here for a long time if you haven’t turned them on yourself. You continue to inspect the items with a scrutiny and seriousness he admires – he really does, but…
He can’t be faulted for wanting a kiss and a hug from his favorite person after so long, can he?
 He huffs out a breath before sitting down on the side of the bed – your side, specifically, to see if he can get a reaction from you.
There’s none.
So he flops down on his back, his head landing by your hip as he huffs out another – more dramatic and louder – breath. After a few seconds of nothing, he chances a look up at you, who’s now moved on to some keychains with your lip sucked in to nibble on.
He stretches his arms over his head and groans, pretending to be sore and lets them fall down like deadweight by his sides, secretly peeking up at you, gauging your reaction. Maybe you’ll ask if he’s had a long day.
Once again, he’s rewarded absolute fuck all.
He whines your name and turns to lie on his stomach, wrapping his arms around your waist. His legs hang from the bed. You laugh, “what’s up, babe?”
What’s up?
What’s up?
He groans and presses his head into your hip to hide his embarrassment, “you’re ignoring me.”
He feels one of your hands travel through his hair, lightly scratching his scalp and if he could purr, he would be doing so as he leans into your touch, “I want to give her thorough feedback so she won’t be unhappy with how it’ll look in the stores and the deadline is tonight,” you explain, turning a headband around in your palm that’s based on the headgear of her costume. Shinsou sighs loudly to make a point, “you can still go through it all in time while giving me a welcome home kiss.”
You chuckle before grabbing his ear and pulling it back and forth as you turn and lean down, “welcome home my love,” you say with a hint of a smile before you kiss the top of his head.
It’s not enough. He grabs you by your shoulders and a surprised noise escapes you as he forcefully lies you down and buries his head in your neck, “need more than a forehead kiss or I’ll start to think you don’t love me.”
He says it with a serious voice but the raspberry he blows into your neck makes you laugh out loud and trash your legs, “Hitoshi, stop!” you plead through desperate breaths as his fingers dance over your sides. Compared to how much he loathes getting tickled, he attacks you way too frequently with it.
When he stops, he looks at you with an almost begging look, “give me a kiss?”
You regain your breath while a hand runs through his hair and down his back, “as many as you want, you big baby.”
You melt into each other as he sighs into the kiss. He feels a smile creeping onto your lips which only makes him press his own harder against yours. When he pulls back, he looks away, “you love me, right?”
The insecurity laced into his question isn’t hard to detect. Shinsou’s been going through a lot of emotional stages in the 10 years you’ve been together so you also know he’s only half-serious right now. You smile and bite your lip to hold back a laugh, “you want Eri’s merch to look good too, right?” you ask back before you continue to answer him, “of course I love you, more than anything.”
“Even more than Eri’s merch?”
This time you don’t hold back your laughter. Shinsou doesn’t mind – he thinks your laugh is the most beautiful sound in the world so he’s never minded you teasing him or being the butt of a joke if it meant you’d let out a laugh for him. His embarrassment subsides and a lovesick smile graces his features as he takes you in. You finish with a chuckle, “a lot more than Eri’s merch.”
“Good, I was just checking.”
“Of course you were, big Mr. Brainwave. Mayhaps I’m just dating you to get to your family, right?”
Shinsou groans and falls back on the bed next to you, unable to continue your banter, “it’s perhaps or maybe, you can’t just combine them.”
You smirk, “mayhaps someone’s a little mangry.”
He jumps up from the bed, “that’s it, I’m leaving your ass. Have fun with your merch and stop hanging out with Denki so much!”
A loud, villainous-like laugh leaves you as you grab onto your own stomach, “not when it’s this fun! Hey, if you’re going to the kitchen can you bring me a water?”
A resonant and firm “no!” is heard throughout the apartment but after a few minutes, a water bottle is thrown towards you in the bed. You blow him a kiss and he give you the middle finger. Both of you look forward to finally sleeping next to each other again tonight.

mayhaps is maybe and perhaps and mangry is mad and angry! ✨

With Corporate Clash announcing the Buck Plushie, will your stance on clash originals merch made by you change...?
THE BUCK PLUSHIE WAS THE MOST INSANE THING TO WAKE UP TO TODAY IM SO EXCITED
However, regarding fan merch it isn't really my decision, the Clash team themselves has said they don't want fan merch being sold and it's important to respect that
The fact that the Big Mouse company is turning a blind eye to private Toontown servers is insanely generous as it is, and they mainly do so because they are strictly nonprofit. Whenever a private server comes out with merch (I know TTR teased some hats and tote bags recently), you'll notice all profits go to charity for a reason
As much as I would kill for Clash merch, I'd be making profit off a private server and that's where the issue comes in, it puts the game at legal risk. I have asked the team about potential freebie manager stickers to give out with Etsy orders - if I get the okay on those I will keep you guys updated 👍
EDIT: Stickers are gonna be a no-go, sadly. </3

Hazbin hotel Episode 6 Live Blogging
It's past midnight on a work day I'll see if I can get through this. I'm not editing this good luck to both of us.
SPOILERS
Okay to start, less than a minute in, Charlie wants to prove that a sinner can ve redeemed. But she has no proof. None of the hotel gang are acting that much better than when they started. Sure they get a long better,but that doesn't make them good people. War crimes are usually commited in groups. Comradery is neutral.
So much for Vaggie supporting Charlie, huh. I get not wanting to go to heaven for this meeting, but considering how badly the last one, excluding whether she knows about the contract thing, having support to help talking things out is a good thing. Especially, with Charlie being prone to singing her point instead of explaining it.
Cherry bomb...finally. I'm sorry but the way Angel announced her felt like a sitcom. Cue canned cheering.
He's been texting all day?? I thought he was working with Val for 16 hours straight. i don't care about breaks, its Val we're talking about.
The wall blowing up is going to a constant gag huh.
Charlie inserting her will in what Angel is doing is annoying at best, but a kick in the teeth after the shit she caused in Ep 4. It's not the same thing the wow did she not learn.
[Pen is hitting on cherry. Nevermind with this Im going to bed]
[11hrs later and im back]
First angel on screen, I didn't think the designs for them would be grand, bootleg christian tv special was not what i would've expected.
The static is back. this is going to drive me insane.
The book he's holding is pretty, can't wait to see it in the merch store.
Okay nevermind, only his design is boring. That's a lot of the same-ish color but I like the look of the two new angels.
the short one is Charlie too, I have hope for her- oh god song incoming.
It is literally only his design that's boring, that had to be on purpose. I like the way heaven looks, I like the designs of the residents. everything is good so far.
Buff angels
the song is like a 4/10. Visuals doing a lot of the heavy lifting.
Exorcist lady has a face!? I hope Adam is in this one scene only, there's already been too much of him.
The static glitter is everywhere and I hate it.
So the exterminations are a secret in heaven, interesting. Adam's the one pushing the exterminations!?!? And heaven's just letting him do it cuz he's the first dickbag or whatever, what?
Vaggie's a former exorcist!? That explains why she didn't want to go back to heaven. And the military thing in episode 3.
Okay i get the threat of adam telling Charlie Vaggie's secret, but like, sinners kill each other all the time. Angel goes on killing sprees with Cheery, per the pilot. Pen has had two war blimps. Husk was and overlord, Alastor is one currently. Vaggie killing sinners isn't that much different and if she confess why she she was left in hell Charlie going to forgive her.
Also, why are there children in hell? There's no answer to that that isn't horrifying.
I hate Adam but showing actual evidence should have been the first thing the prepared. Also, a bunch of dictionary definitions, really. At this point they're just incompetent.
Was worried we were going to have a redue of the news broadcast from the pilot but asking Adam how to get into heaven is a neat turn around.
Nevermind it us a redo of the pilot fuck. Why.
Husk- "you want to fick up all your progress-" What fucking progress!?! We as the audience have seen no change in any of them.
Why are the angels upset Charlie said fuck, Adam's been saying it and no one's cared.
Cherry's character is tanking early that's neat. And Pen's hitting on hesr again, ugh.
Great, Cherry's actions have directly pushed Angel towards his abuser who he was trying to avoid, wonderful. I hate this so much.
Why is angel the one getting niffty!?! I wouldn't call what happened with val a win, but it is a step forward
No one knows how to get into heaven, okay. My feelings on that are mixed.
Song #2
It's already been 5 months? so what, an episode per month?
The fire in the eyes of the angel is a neat shot.
thousands of demons, that’s kinda low isn't it. Considering no ine knows how to get into heaven, I'm thinking it might be closer to an even slit with heaven maybe having a bit more % wise.
I like this more than Ep 5.
Was looking forward to seeing cherry in the show, she was disappointing. Kinda a half assed friend. Because she was so pushy with Angel he not only had an encounter with Val, heaven was less persuaded by Charlie's bid for their redemption.
(wrote something else here but it got deleted and I don't remember so oops on that.)

im hacking up a lujg at this if dream announced a vague project, instantly got tons of fanart for it, sold merch on it, and then revealed it didnt have any details other than *whatever he self-admittedly took from his fanart* over the course of two years we would literally not stop hearing about it until the end of time. my boober dranti friend reblogged a million pieces of fanart for this thing and i was sitting here wondering why it was all just identical pictures of him with a bunch of TV static n it turns out its because they literally only knew the genre of this thing. I am never getting over this
are you kidding me Dream announced a project that does exist and will begin and they're cancelling him because they don't think someone who didn't grow up with a culture would have any reason to connect to another culture (weirdest way to say you're xenophobic ever)

I agree it's too early for rep TV, but her dancers are posting black hearts everywhere
And also... I was in the crowd on Nov 12th. I'm the "eldest" swiftie I know, so everyone I talked to (I'm talking about friends/acquaintances) and gave my opinion on the Nov 10th theory wasn't really happy with what I had to say, but I never believed she would announce it that day. Everyone really hoped she would (even really "new" fans)
The feeling I got from that is that we just want to be a part of things. We wanna be a part of the rerecording history. She's touring latam for the first time, and chances are she won't come back (for reasons I can describe if needed). She'll do Mexico again, but it's unlikely she'll do Argentina/Brazil again. And we all know that. We just want announcement like the US got (twice), and like Asia will probably get and Europe too.
I understand the whole conversation about demanding too much too often from her. I really do and I think it's a very valid point and something to be discussed. I miss when there were less of us and more interested in her actual music. But please understand we don't mean harm. We never got tour dates before this, we don't get merch (shipping is crazy expensive and they let you buy one of each only so you can't even pool in money with friends to share shipping costs), and we just wanna feel like we're part of her story too.
I know you haven't said anything but I needed to put this opinion out there and maybe someone will read it and understand what's going on.
Thank you for reading 🩵
hi, thank you for sharing.
i do understand all of this, i really do, and im going to try phrasing this in a way so i don’t come off rude.
i understand that you want to be apart of re-recording history but i still think latam is apart of it (correct me if i’m wrong). but you guys got to be there when 1989TV dropped and also so many other fun moments (like chiefs on the screen). and i can’t speak on taylor returning to latam because i’m not from there and don’t want to step over the line (and i don’t think it has anything to do with the whole T4F fiasco since that was the stadiums fault and taylor wouldn’t blame brazil on that). but a majority of the people i’m seeing turn out the theories are swifties from the states who are counting her steps in the reputation set and using math to prove reputation is next. if she did announce reputation tonight i’d 100% eat my words and be excited about it as i love reputation. but i still think at the end of the day it’s an INSANE thing to ask of taylor to announce another album. we ready got two this year, one last year, a whole concert movie, and so much more. and even before midnights i saw people complaining that we hadn’t gotten any new taylor announcements and how was anyone supposed to go on if we didn’t get one (when we had gotten two surprise albums not even a year ago).
again i get what you’re saying and do not want to come off as rude or mean in anyway. being a city that she announced something that big at is a thing to remember, but i don’t think it’s right to ask her to keep announcing and releasing stuff just to make a moment and be remembered. she’s literally just a person at the end of the day and she’s still doing everything to make this a memorable concert experience for everyone there. just because latam may not get a re-recording announcement doesn’t mean it’s not anyway less apart of the history of the re-recordings like any other place.
again, thank you for sharing your opinion and telling me this as it did give me a different view on this. but i don’t think she’ll announce it tonight as it’s still crazy close to 1989tv and she’s allowed to let her projects breathe.
i hope you have a good night 🫶🏻

HEYYY IM JUST POSTING THIS PIECE I WROTE FOR MY BSF ❤️❤️
ANYWAYS
Content Warning:none
Word Count: 8k
Racer!Mammon x Reader
As B/n dragged me through the crowd toward the concession stand I couldn’t help but notice that one particular racer seemed to have had an extremely large fanbase. ‘Must be the racer B/n came to see.’ I thought to myself. Noticing my wandering eyes, B/n spoke. “MC! I see you’ve taken an interest in Mammon.” She gestured to a large billboard with a lean, helmeted racer and a name brandished on it. “He just so happens to be the racer I took you to see today!” She smiled, “C’mon, I even got us VIP seats! Let’s go watch!” And with that she took off toward where the supposed VIP seats were.
As the time passed with stupid commercials and events, I felt myself growing impatient. “B/n!” I whined, leaning on her dramatically. “When will this stupid thing start!” She sighed, “Soon MC.” I closed my eyes and let the sunlight seep over my hat and onto my brow. Content with my little alcove in the cushioned seats, I finally allowed myself to rest. But when a loud microphone crackle sounded through the arena’s speakers, I jumped to my feet in shock. “Che Cazzo!” I screamed in reflex. But B/n only laughed, and pointed to the race track. “It’s starting MC! Can you believe it!?” She yelled, shaking me back and forth with delight. I glared at her, still upset about being ripped from my moment of calm, but the revving of the engines startled me out of my moment of lament. I turned towards the track and at that moment I knew my life had changed. I made eye contact with the most beautiful man I had seen to that date, as he pulled his eyes away from me and pushed back his shaggy white hair, his beautiful blue eyes shone in the sun. B/n spoke hurriedly to me, “MCDIDYOUSEETHATMAMMONLOOKEDATUS!!!!!!!” she shrieked, shaking me back and forth. But I couldn’t tear my eyes away from this beautiful being, who was now leaning against his sleek red race car with a smirk. When the ref announced that the race was to begin, he tugged his helmet on and leaped through the window of his car with alarming grace.
The race began, and the cars ripped around the arena in a terrifyingly close race. Mammon was in the lead, but a car driven by the best racer in our area was close behind him. Twiddling my fingers nervously, I careened my neck to look at my fangirl of a best friend, who looked like she’d seen a ghost. Finally, it was the final lap and R/n was gaining on Mammon too fast for comfort. But at the last moment, his car ripped forward impossibly fast and crossed the finish line first. B/n and I leaped from our seats in joy and hugged each other screaming and jumping. She suddenly grabbed my arms and tore down the stairs to the merch stand. With a serious look on her face she exclaimed to me, “MC. We are getting T-shirts and having Mammon sign them.” And with that, she slapped her credit card onto the counter and took the two shirts from the sales clerk.
When we got in line, I started to feel my nerves set in. But that got ten times worse when I reached the front. If I thought that Mammon was startlingly gorgeous from far away then he had to have god-level beauty close up. His perfect skin gleamed with sweat, and the wind from the fan tousled his hair. The fluorescent light shone through his blue eyes, that-as I’ve now noticed- are flecked with gold, and he flashed his white teeth at the fans who were constantly surging forward. When it was my turn, I turned to B/n nervously. “What if I embarrass myself!” I whisper-yelled in her ear. “You’ll be fine!” She smiled back at me. I approached the booth with a nervous smile. I gently placed the shirt in front of Mammon, who looked at me with a smile. “Didja enjoy the race?” He asked in a smooth baritone that made my heart flutter. “Yes… I- You’re very pretty.” I mumbled. The second that the words left my mouth I shot my head up toward him. My face blanched- he was looking at me perplexed but it seemed to worsen when he saw my face for the first time. I quickly grabbed my t-shirt off the counter and ran, ignoring the cries of B/n as I ran. Eventually, when I had already left the arena, B/n caught up to me, panting and looking angry. “What the hell was that for MC!? We finally had a chance to talk to THE MAMMON and you just left like that!?” My eyes welled up with tears. “I’m the worst B/n! I told him he was PRETTY! A total stranger! Ugh! He’s always gonna think about the stupid stupid person who called him PRETTY!” She grimaced, and then patted my arm in understanding. “MC… he seemed to not be upset when I was there.. He got up to say something the second you left but as soon as he left his booth, the media was all over him. Maybe you should’ve stayed.” I shrugged. Although Mammon seemed to be a good person, and he was definitely gorgeous, I hoped that I would never have to see him again. It would just be too embarrassing.
B/n had tried to drag me back to the arena to watch another race, but I refused. I couldn’t-I would just say something embarrassing again. Besides, today I had to go to the store. I pulled on the first shirt I found and tugged a pair of sweatpants on as I began my journey to the store.
I sighed heavily as I threw the items I needed into my cart and walked forward, scanning the shelves as I went. I stepped forward to grab the item I needed on the shelf, when suddenly, someone collided with me. I fell to the ground with an “OOMPH” and I sat there for a moment in silence before I heard a familiar voice call, “Are ya alright?” I looked up, already dreading the outcome and to my displeasure, it was Mammon. It seemed the realization dawned on him at the same time it did me. I scrambled to get up but he was faster. He yanked me up by my arm and did me a once over to make sure I wasn’t injured. Then, before I could run, he grabbed my hands. “Yer the person from the VIP signing. I tried ta go after ya but the press got in my face y’know? Why’d ya run anyways?” He questioned. “Well I-.... I dunno, I thought I’d upset you.” I mumbled. He pulled my face up to look at him and it was then I realized he had a disguise. He was wearing a fake mustache and glasses, and it was so horrible I giggled. “H-hey whaddya laughin’ at?!” He blustered, face turning red. “Nothing! Nothing!” I forced out between giggles. “Well, I think I should geta finish the message I was writin on yer shirt!” Then I realized the shirt I pulled on was the one he signed. I smiled, handed him a marker from my bag and turned so he could write on my back. I felt the scratching of the marker on my back. Then, without warning, he handed me the marker, hugged me quickly, mumbled a quick “Thanks.!” and ran away from me. ‘Strange…’ I thought, but I moved on with my shopping.
When I got home, I pulled off my shirt, anxious to see Mammon’s message. Written in a messy, wide script was this. ‘You’re prettier. Ya shouldn’tve left before I could tell ya. <3 Mammon’ And, my heart skipped a beat, his phone number. Grinning to myself, I punched his number in my phone. Although there were definitely some rocky bits, I knew I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

taglist: @biqherosix @draqondance
so pessimistic, so narcissistic, so cynical, welcome to my own little world.
part two
“so y/n, what do you think of us going to seingi’s after the game? you could meet our new teammate!” bolin approached you as soon as you came out of your slot in the gym with your pro bending team, the red sands rabaroos.
“i don’t have a game tonight bo.” you chuckled, wiping the sweat off of your forehead from your intense training session. you loved seeing the excitement on your best friends face whenever he mentionned his mysterious new teammate.
“mako and i do! don’t you want to watch us beat the zebra frogs?” he insisted, flashing his signature green pleading eyes that always made you cave.
“all right big guy, i’m down.” you gave in and patted his shoulder before you made your way down the hallway to lockerooms in order to change. right as you made the right turn you heard him yell out a ‘yes’ and pictured him punching his fist up in the air. you rolled your eyes and smiled at the idea of the other earth bender doing such but he was your best friend after all, what did you expect?
a couple of hours later after you’d gone home, showered and switched into more casual attire, you found yourself back at the probending arena though now a crowd had formed on the steps as everyone waited for the doors to open. you scanned the crowd and spotted a couple of people having fire ferret signs which made you smile.
you made your way through said crowd and up the stairs only to be met with a slightly smaller crowd of people trying to get the guard, rahaar, to let them in early to see their favorite team the game started. you chuckled slightly at their lousy attempts which guard rahaar’s attention.
“y/n!” he smiled as you pushed your way to the front and greeted him. “come on right in, enjoy the game!”
you thanked him and quickly slithered into the building so that he wouldn’t have to knock down anyone who tried to get in, and thankfully for him, no one did. though you were sure a couple of them complained at the fact that you’d just been able to enter like that. what could you say? they were the pros of being a pro bender.
you took your time to make your way to where you friends were, prepping themselves for the game in the gym and you had guess right as you heard the two brothers arguing.
“where is she?” you heard mako’s voice first as you approached the door and knocked.
“see mako, she’s there!” you could hear the smile in bolins voice as someone’s footsteps came to open the door to let who they thought was their new teammate in.
“sorry to disappoint but i’m not your new teammate.” you awkwardly joked as you met eyes with mako who raised his eyebrow at your presence as he stood next to the door.
“y/n! you’re here!” bolin exclaimed excitedly from behind his older brother.
“bo invited me to join you, your new teammate and him for dinner after the game so i figured i’d see the second best pro bending team play.” you explained as a response to seeing makos slightly confused expression which he nodded to and his face went back to his usual stoic and neutral expression.
“second best?” bolin inquired, placing his hands on his hips as he smirked.
“yeah, second best.” you confirmed, crossing your arms and defying him with your gaze.
“well y/n, we’ll see about that when we play each other in two weeks.” mako joined in on the playful rivalry and you nodded, agreeing to see exactly which of your teams was better.
“two weeks, hope you fire ferrets will be ready to pay for dinner at narook’s in order to celebrate my victory.” you proposed a bet which immediately made the innocent rivalry sound a bit more interesting. you extended your hand to bolin who was now in front of you, intending for him to shake on it as soon as he heard the mention of a paid dinner.
“you’re on!” bolin immediately agreed and place his hand on yours and you both shook on it.
“this is great and all but it doesn’t change the fact that we’re still missing a player and doors open in ten.” mako interrupted your intense playful gazes to alert bolin of the awkward situation they were in.
“shit, doors open in ten? i should go now if i want to go to the bathroom and get popcorn without a line.” mako raised an eyebrow once again at your strange way to exit but it sounded about right, it was you of course, you always had weird priorities. he had hoped you’d maybe take the time to help them figure out what to do but he knew it wasn’t your job to help them, hell, if anything you shouldn’t because one, you were on rival teams and two, realistically you couldn’t do anything.
“make sure you get good seats so you can see how just how much we’ll crush you!” bolin called as you left the gym. you give him a thumbs up in the air, not bothering to turn around.
a false commitment, oh, i never listened
you found a nice spot not too far from the platform after you’d gotten your popcorn. you munched on it as you watched the seats slowly fill, face scrunching up whenever you see someone wearing non fire ferret merch.
you knew they were going to win, they always did, at least with their old teammate, hasook. you hadn’t bothered to listen to their matches from home so you were going in blind.
you would never really admit to never listening to your friends matches, you just didn’t see the point in listening in on the competition, it’s useless. you need to see in front of you in order to study their tactics.
bolin didn’t know that when he invited you to come see their match, you had already planned to come in order to see how much of a rookie their new teammate was, it was kind of an opportunity for you to feel a bit better about your team, as awful as that sounds. one of your teammates had told you that they’d heard of a new waterbender on the fire ferrets that practice before seeing your friend.
you shoved popcorn into your mouth as the lights dimmed and the announcer’s voice boomed throughout the entire stadium. you quickly swallowed in order to cheer when they announced the fire ferrets. the people seated around you didn’t seem to enjoy your cheering for the newer team but at the same time, you didn’t enjoy their cheering for the opposite team.
you leaned in as you saw the three benders in red be brought to the stage and your eyes widened when they landed on the one with the blue rope. she wasn’t small by any means, you couldn’t see her face but just by her stance you could tell she was beautiful.
suddenly, you didn’t even look at your friend’s techniques as they played like they always did in order to give them criticism, no, you couldn’t take your eyes off of the water tribe girl.
you were sure it was only her second or third game but the way she moved made it seem like pro bending was something she’d been practicing for ages. god you wished this game would wrap up so you could meet her.
and im just a problem, and no one's ever solved it,
they announced the fire ferrets win and that’s when you snapped out of your trance, your popcorn long forgotten as you watched the waterbender move around confidently and knocking down her opponents.
little by little, people left their seats and exited the arena all while chatting up a storm about how the game went. you found yourself a part of that crowd up until a certain point where you turned in an opposite direction to see your friends.
you waited for them to exit as you leaned on the wall thinking of how to introduce yourself to the girl that had caught your attention.
“well y/n, impressed yet?” mako was the one to take you out of your thoughts as you looked up at him a smirk quickly making it onto your face.
“honestly no, your form was sloppy.”
“uh huh, sure, i’m totally taking firebending advice from an earth bender.” he rolled his eyes sassily, making sure to emphasise his and your bending.
“you’re taking advice from someone who dated a firebender mister.” you retorted, referring to your past lovers.
before he could reply, bolin came out with a girl as they talked about the game. bolin stopped in his tracks when he saw you and smiled.
you turned your head and mentally, your draw dropped. she was even prettier in person. she was a bit taller than you, her biceps accentuated by her water tribe getup, she had her hair in a traditional ponytail and her blue eyes held nothing but excitement that lingered from the game.
“not a bad game for a rookie.” was the first thing you said to her, making you want to slap your forehead at how dumb that sounded.
“not sure if that’s supposed to be a compliment.” she rose an eye brow as she made eye contact with you. you had to control yourself in order not to blush and break your usual cool composure.
“y/n here doesn’t really give compliments, sorry korra.” bolin jokily informed his teammate earning an arm crossing from you as an attempt to not let the girl see how she made you feel by just standing in front of you.
“then thanks i suppose.” was what she settled with and almost instantly, your mind made a connection with her name, korra. as in avatar korra. as in the newcomer to republic city.
“you guys didn’t tell me the avatar was apart of your team.” you ignored korra’s response, the question being aimed at the brothers.
“it was in the papers.” mako stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
“as if i read the papers mako my boy.” you replied, taking a step closer to him, making sure to match your tone which earned a small blush on the firebender’s cheeks which was exactly what you wanted to do.
“yeah, i’m the avatar, big deal. let’s go eat.” korra seemed to get annoyed at your interaction with the firebender, making you cock an eyebrow in confusion. don’t tell me she likes mako was the only thing on your mind as you all nodded.
“wait, she’s coming too?” korra asked as she saw you follow them once you all stepped outside. the boys nodded which earned a little huff from the avatar. your happiness dimmed a bit at the thought of her not wanting to spend time with you, oh well, she’d have to deal with it.
oh, i don't think that i could be the one that you want me to be, its hard for me sometimes to see the light inside my love, i, i, i, i, want to run the world, the world, the world, the world
you all sat around a table at seingi’s, the closest firenation restaurant to the arena. it was surprisingly empty for a friday night. you stared at the menu trying to figure out what you wanted.
“i’m going to get the extra spicy fire noodles.” korra was the first one to announce what she was getting. she put the menu back on the table and waited for everyone to announce theirs.
“you sure you’ll be able to handle that?” you questioned, not bothering to look away from the menu. you knew your question infuriated her, god, you really did suck at flirting.
“if you hadn’t notice yet, i’m also a firebender. so yeah, i think i can handle my spice.” she had seemed to take offense to your question which made you laugh a bit.
“whatever you say miss avatar.” you rolled your eyes with a playful grin as you lowered your menu. you wanted to laugh at the offended expression on her face but you held it in this time, you still wanted her to like you.
“okay well i’m taking the same as korra.” mako announced in an attempt to break up whatever was going, afraid that korra’s short temper would act up to your snarky comments.
“i am too. how about you y/n.” all three of them were taking the spicy noodles. you were originally going to take them as well but that changed once everyone did as well.
“i’m taking the roast duck.” you announced, finally putting down the menu. korra rolled her eyes which confused you.
“you’ve got a problem with that avatar?” you questioned, a smirk making its way onto your face. if your presence seemed to annoy her, then by the spirits were you going to have fun with it. mako knew exactly what you were doing, he’d seen you do it before and knew that your flirting always seemed to dig yourself into a hole that was impossible to get out of.
“no, just confused as to why you’re still here. this is a team celebratory dinner.” she explained, her eyes narrowing you.
“i’m the honorary team member sweetheart. i-" before you could finish your explanation, you felt bolin kick in you in the shin from in front of you.
you hadn’t noticed mako that was seated next to you and bolin, who was in front of you, were secretly communicating to try and break up whatever fight that could happen. you were too engrossed in the beautiful avatar to notice.
“y/n’s our friend and we haven’t had dinner together in a while.” bolin explained after laughing nervously. korra nodded before looking over to mako to discuss his winning play.
everyone participated in the conversion but you. sure you listened but you couldn’t tear your eyes off of korra, wether she was speaking or not. the passion, the excitement and the love in her gaze and words as she spoke to the brothers about the game made you jealous, spirits did you wish she would talk that way to you.
you barely knew her and she didn’t seem to particularly love you but you wanted to be her entire world after just one look at her.
i’m never honest, i'm faking all this
dinner had gone on without much noise from you, which definitely raised suspicions for the two brothers. korra didn’t seem to care or notice so when she got up to go to the bathroom, their attention immediately went to you.
“is everything alright y/n?” bolin asked you, concern written all over his face.
“yeah, just a bit tired is all.” you lied, not wanting them to catch on that korra was filling your thoughts.
“you sure?” mako insisted, placing a hand on your shoulder. you nodded and looked away. you spotted korra and her smile dropped when mako placed his hand on your shoulder.
“yeah. can i finish your noodles?” you attempted to switch the subject, batting your eyelashes at mako in an exaggerated manor. he laughed and switched your dishes.
you danced a little bit in your seat and teased the broth before you ate the noodles, still warm.
“really? you’re still hungry? that duck was huge.” korra commented once she came back to her seat.
“i’m just making sure we don’t waste any money.” you started matter of factly which earned what was probably the fifth eye roll of the night from the avatar.
once again, mako and bolin steared the conversation in another direction to avoid any conflict. this time though, you made sure you were heard.
once dinner was over and you had all stepped out, korra approached you and your heartrate picked up.
“see? told you i could handle the spice.” she teased which came as a surprise to you, she hadn’t said anything particularly friendly to you all evening but you hadn’t either.
“master of four elements, master of all foods.” you joked, shoving your hands in your pockets. she chuckled at your words and suddenly, it was your favourite sound in the world.
Just point those fingers, cause i could never be hurt.
bolin accompanied korra to the docks so she could head back to air temple island and mako walked you back to your appartement.
“you suck at flirting y/n.” was the first he said when the others had left.
“and you’re better than me? mister i don’t show emotions?” you replied as you started walking, not wanting him to bring up anything that happened during dinner.
“please, i managed to get you.” he teased, jogging to catch up to you.
“you managed to take me on one date.” you corrected him, not taking your eyes off of the road in front of you.
“same difference.” he rolled his eyes.
“she likes you.” a small silence had settled and you decided to break it.
“who, korra? please, the bickering between the two of you was filled with sexual tension.” he teased, gently bumping his shoulder into yours.
“nah, she looked at you a certain way. besides, i don’t like miss prissy avatar.”
“you know y/n, that dinner was the first time i’ve seen you not try to the center of attention during dinner. and you have no room to call her prissy when you tend to be no better.”
“believe me, i could care less. i was just tired.” you stopped walking as you had arrived in front of your apartment building.
“i know you like her and, a word of advice, don’t be too cynical with her like you’ve been with basically all of your exes. korra isn’t the type of girl to let that slide.” he said before bidding you goodbye and retracting his steps.
you processed his words as you went up the stairs. he was right but you’d never admit it.
you went to your window that faced air temple island and just stared at it, hoping that korra had gotten home safe.
unbeknownst to you, korra was looking out of her window and staring at the apartments, hoping that one of them was yours.

Congrats on your two year anniversary!! And I hope your next year will be just as wonderful or even better ^u^
I absolutely loved reading Talk Too Much, there’s something about the trope where Reader is oblivious about the character’s hero status that I really enjoy and you wrote it so well! I was wondering, how did you come up with all of the merch that Midoriya wore throughout the fic?
ty ze!!!! im sure it will be 🥺🥺🥺
I LOVE THAT TROPE TOO not to. sing myself praises but. i adore the trope yet i find that i can rarely read it bc i also usually cant stand readers being too much of a dumbass? at a certain point im like ok ur just stupid bye KJHBASDF its a careful tightrope is what i mean, but when i find fics i like that utilize that trope i rlly adore them (pspsps on that note..... if u havent already, check out @andypantsx3's unconventional, its also a deku fic with that trope and she's just announced that the last part is coming over the weekend!) and i figured fuck it, if i want something done a specific way, well, im an author i gotta do it myself LMFAOOO
midoriya's merch was inspired by a number of things! firstly, @ofmermaidstories' deku fic something (just like this) on ao3, where deku's first appearance is in a shouto hoodie like the one described in mine and a froppy hat—a similar meeting where the reader doesnt know he's the Deku! that scene in merm's is inspired in turn by this art by @/min-min-minnie. Aside from the shouto hoodie which connects all three works, the merch i described all came from my lil noggin LMFAO i felt like wearing hero merch in particular would throw anyone off the scent of that-cute-hero-fan-over-there being Deku, Number One Hero; plus its just. adorable as hell and totally in-character bc at his core deku is still the biggest fanboy of all his friends. there r a few obvious choices: headphones for jirou, a fancy watch for momo, umbrella for tsu. i think my choices for those were p obvious! the rest were more standard merch choices (tho the clear umbrella was just bc those r rlly popular in animes and i thought it was funny LMFAO)
the cufflinks came about bc there was originally gonna be a longer scene where he comes in in a suit and the reader has a "oh no hes hot" moment, and then teases him about having to put away the hero merch for a day—only for him to expose himself for having spent a small fortune on a pair of limited edition all might cufflinks that were made wrong (queue the reader going on no hes hot and rich im screwed KJAHBF). i ended up cutting it (tbh i cut a lot from Talk Too Much, bc i wanted to get it out by his birthday and so i ended up breezing over a lot of the cutesy slow burn scenes...... i make up for it in the final scene tho, never said this but that bit where he kneels and then kisses the reader's knee...... still gets me, as arrogant as it sounds 😳 i think its one of the hottest things ive written) but rest assured that still occurred in canon. if u want me to go into detail, i imagined them as being a collab with some luxury company, a limited run with only a few (like fifty or a hundred) made and like fifteen being made incorrectly—they'd have all might's chest design on them, and the incorrectly made ones have the red & blue mixed up. there was a lil story abt how deku hunted for them, found a set with the correct coloring at an online auction and almost got them only to be outbid at the last moment, and then managed to come across a different set with the wrong coloring (the more expensive version, as is usually the case for collectors) at a random thrift shop. and gave the owner the amount he originally bid with, bc hes deku KJAHBSD OK THAT WAS A LOT i promise im done
send in your favorite moment from one of my fics and i’ll give you a director’s commentary!

sadness over a3! eng i guess
oof just on my 700th day.....
kinda sad because of the announcement about A3! ENG server shutting down soon due to financial difficulties at LIBER/CYBIRD in the past two years (covid-19 related, etc.). according to a rather in depth reddit comment that had links to LIBER's publicly available financial reports + some financial reports from LIBER's parent company, Aeria, in english, covid-19 really hit LIBER hard since they had to cancel many money making events, from pop-up shops for the typical anime merch trinkets (keychains, plushes, pins, etc.) to the huge in-person events (voice actor meetups, the stage plays of MANKAI LIVE, etc.). due to shrinking player base on the ENG server + major loss of profits on both JPN and ENG servers, LIBER had to choose one or the other and they chose the JPN one, which i totally understand since it's way bigger there and the JPN fanbase will continue to give the franchise money more often. also, another person found a financial report/estimate from the google play store or something, and A3! ENG only made ~$20K to ~$10K in the past few months, which i guess is not enough to keep a server and localization company afloat. 
i got pretty attached to the characters and it was a great game to help get by during college. and honestly, while i am very sad about this, again, i understand why LIBER did this, looking at their financial report from 2020. I would LIBER save the entire franchise rather than shut all the servers down, making us all unable to see our favorite actors ever again, even if it means that we ENG fans will have to go thru the extra steps of finding/reading fan translations, wikis, etc., to read any further stories from where A3! ENG left off. still, A3! ENG's localization was something special. i'm saying this as a TKRB JPN player who read the wiki for all the character voice lines and then had to see the official TKRB ENG localization make Yamabushi Kunihiro a rapper for some reason? lol. it was....weird.... meanwhile, all the memes and slang in A3! ENG didn't seem out of place and all fit their personalities because 3/4 of the troupes were all high school to college age and 3 of them were ~Gamers~. Out of all the gachas i've played, i feel like the only other F2P gacha game that had this incredibly smooth, all cultural jokes/puns translated in a way that still makes sense/fits the character/doesn't require a galaxy brain and some TL note to understand, is probably dragalia lost and that's only because it has frickin Nintendo localizing/publishing it globally for CyGames. Nintendo. i'll eventually read the fan translations of A3!'s Act 3 on the wiki, but it won't be the same without Kazunari's super high-energy influencer slang of "'whoa fam! that's totes 'blammable, gotta take a pic!" or Itaru's gremlin Gamer speak of "lol get rekt noobs" or Tsuzuru's tired dying breath of "that ain't it chief." the appropriate slang and relatable meme speak of the localization really helped humanize these characters as people of their respective ages, rather than just a typical formal speak or some directly translated JPN slang -> ENG that turns out super awkward that can be found in bad localizations.
going back to the reddit comment too, the death of A3! ENG servers could have bad repercussions in the future for other joseimuke games. josei, if you for some reason have been in the anime fandom but still don't know this term, is basically the genre of stories/video games/media/etc aimed at women. it's the mature adult counterpart to seinen, media aimed at adult men. basically shoujo/shonen = elementary/middle school/high school aimed while josei/seinen = high school/college/adult aimed if that helps. Joseimuke is a part of josei that is not specifically romance. while some josei/joseimuke can overlap with otome, aka female aimed dating sims/romance media, they have many things about them that make these all separate genres. one of the official A3! ENG translators and a known fan translator of another joseimuke gacha, Mahou Yaku/Wizard’s Promise, minami, goes more in depth with this in a twitter thread. 
A3! was an actor raising game, and a big part of it was found family and relationships that were platonic. yet it got advertised as an otome, which has more connotations with dating sims and brings to mind other shoujo/otome games and anime where the cast is all high schoolers and the setting is most often in a high school. but, other than some characters making flirty jokes or implied to have crushes on Izumi/player character, many character relationships with Izumi are platonic and not romantic at all. Spring Troupe in the game also jokingly calls themself a family. the entire Mankai Company is basically found family. plus, since the game actually has time passing in story and the characters age with each year, half of the characters aren’t even in high school anymore. a large majority of them are in college or are graduated by now, with only a few still in high school. i’m not surprised if a reason that some people left the game was due to feeling bored with the slice of life/not romantic story, feeling that they were lied to about it being an otome, which was falsely advertised since it is a game meant for the older teens/adults demographic of josei/joseimuke.
i’m worried that other japanese companies will look at this shut down as a “josei/joseimuke doesn’t work well in the west” and never localize other josei/joseimuke gacha games like Mahou Yaku, EnStars, Twisted Wonderland, Helios, etc.
while i like otome and shoujo, i, as a 23/soon to be 24 year old college graduate and now tax paying adult, want more stories that have more mature themes and characters that are more my age so i don’t have to feel awkward when i’m playing some dating sim and i, a literal 23 year old adult, and trying to woo a 16 year old. it’s...a little awkward to say the least. i would gladly welcome more mature media that is categorized as josei/joseimuke.
sorry if this is all over the place, but overall im just sad that A3! ENG is shutting down. i don’t know if i’ll join the JPN server yet. i’m def going to read the Act 3 story via fan translators on the wiki, but A3! gameplay was...boring lmao. as much as i love A3!, im sure that the constant event grind/burnout and boring rng gameplay turned people off too and i dont blame them. i felt the burnout bad since i participated in basically every event since day 1. it. is. rough. i’m not joining the hellish thunderdome that is the JPN server and im not ranking anymore as a F2P player lmao. literally had to play almost every waking free moment to get into the 30%-20% bracket as a F2P person and i never got to top 20%-10%, much less top 1% lmao. i’m don’t whale enough lol. 
i feel like i should probably just. crack open my genki 2 textbook and uhhh totally legal pdf copy of tobira. so i can just. get the JPN version of games in the first place so i don’t have to worry about getting shafted since overseas fans are often considered expendable. 
i wish that, when any games that are online end, gacha or mmo or anything, anything online, companies will let fans archive things. or like. release a book that is just the story text or something. like. CYBIRD is letting us still technically play the game and have the story and all, but what if they eventually later shut everything down? why not just release a pdf/ebook that’s just the text of the eng localization for some money? i’d buy it. for nostalgia and rereads and all and also archiving purposes. i think i’ll try to help with any english localization archive projects if i can so that the hilarious and incredible localization that was a work of love from the translation team doesn’t just disappear forever.
well.
that’s it for now. as i said, guess i’ll head to the app for one of the last times to read the last unread stories and mini stories i have left, then the wiki for Act 3, and then i guess i’ll crack open genki 2 and bunpo.....
some fun random links for you to think about!
random ffxi article that came to mind (if ffxiv ever shuts down in the next 20 years or whatever i’d be cool to get a statue of my character at the end)
and death of a game playlist by NerdSlayer Studios on Youtube that has me thinking a lot about game preservation and losing MMOs and games
the lost media wiki  and blameitonjorge’s lost media iceberg
other gacha games i’ve played that have shut down that i think about sometimes because the loss of A3! ENG isn’t my first rodeo:
terra battle & terra battle 2 (1)

fix you
hogwarts au
fluff and a pinch of angst if u squint
draco x gryffindor!reader
warnings: insecure draco, really cringy fluff
word count: 3.5k (i honestly could’ve done better)
Tumblr media
the wind blows through your hair as you sit by the black lake with the golden trio. they talk about something that you, honestly couldn’t care less about. “y/n.” hermione calls out. ron leans over and whispers into harry’s ear, “she’s out of it again.” you hum at hermione as you acknowledge her. “come on, we have advanced potions today.” you smile as you pick your bag up off the floor and walk inside the halls with them. you lightheartedly laugh at whatever ron says until your smile disappears when see draco malfoy standing tall and proud, blocking your pathway to potions. craning your head to look at him, he makes a sarcastic remark to harry. giving him a small smile, you ask softly, “could you please excuse us? we have potions next, well, we all have potions next.” he glances at you and the glare on his face disappears. he turns his head back to harry, “you’re lucky that i have better things to do.” he glances back at you quickly before he leaves to potions, just walking a whole ten feet away.
the next time you encounter draco was a week later at the gryffindor x slytherin game. the two teams fly out onto the field as dean announces them. hermione reads her book while you wave at ron and harry. draco does a lap around the field and matches eyes with you. you give him a smile and a thumbs up. he almost collides with another player but a smirk made its way to his face.
that night at dinner, you sit next to ron as fred and george tell stories about the mischief they caused. george explains, “and so then we put unicorn horn into his potion and bam, explosion.” your eyes widen, “really?” you ask enthusiastically. he nods excitedly and continues his story when pansy calls out your name. “hey l/n!” the hall suddenly goes quiet as you turn around to meet her sitting at the slytherin table. draco lifts his head up after copying down someone’s notes. “open your hand!” everyone within twenty feet of you all turn their heads towards you when you open up your hand with your palm facing up and see a paper crane, flying over to you, landing on your palm. carefully unwrapping the paper, you hear a chorus of ‘oohs’ around the room. looking at the words on the paper, your smile slightly fades. “y/n, what’s on it?” george asks, “yeah y/n, what’s on it?” fred adds on. you fold the paper back up, put it in your pocket and put a smile back on your face, “it’s nothing. carry on with your story, george.”
for the rest of the night, you stayed quiet, receiving confused glances from your friends. you walk with fred and george behind the golden trio on the way to your dorms. you count the tiles on the floor on your way when you get pulled back from your friends with a hand covering your mouth. you hear a whisper on your ear, “hush l/n, it’ll make me sound like i’m kidnapping you.” your friends go a safe distance before he releases you. you turn around to meet his face and match eyes with him for all of ten seconds before looking down.
“what’s wrong?” he asks, too embarrassed to stare directly into your eyes. “nothing.” you reply and shake your head. “it can’t be nothing, if you look so dejected, l/n.” he prys on, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes in annoyance. “what did that blasted git even send you?” he asks and when you don’t answer, digs his hands into your pocket, pulling out the note. he opens the note and written in his neat handwriting was his reply to pansy’s question, “do you like l/n?” his eyes scan over his reply over and over again, “no, she’s as insignificant as can be to me.” draco looks down at you as you bite your bottom lip.
“i have feelings, draco. and i know you do too but, that was so heartless.” you sigh, “i thought we were getting somewhere, over this past month. looks like i was in over my head.” your heels click against the floor as you walk away, leaving the blonde haired boy to his thoughts.
about two weeks later with no contact with draco, you live life as it was before. wind quickly blows though your hair as you turn the corner quickly and walk until you stop. before you know it, you’ve walked to the room of requirements. you look throughout the room until you stumble across a mirror. “mirror of erised.” you voice out. the dust flies everywhere as you pull the sheet off of it. looking into the mirror, you see draco with his arm around your shoulder. turning around quickly, you see no one in the room with you. looking back to the mirror, you then see draco again. but this time, he’s not draping his arm around your shoulder, he’s hugging you. feeling a bit shocked, you put the sheet back on and leave the room. you walk back down the quiet halls to go to the library and read about the mirror.
entering the library silently, you find a book called, “mirror of erised: and its history.” you skip over the introduction and find its purpose. “the mirror of erised is a mirror that shows the user his or her heart's deepest desire.” you stand puzzled at why draco was there. what did you want with draco? walking back to the gryffindor dorms was long but you’re glad it was because you had time to think to yourself. myrtle comes flying the through the wall you were passing by and stops as she sees you, “are you y/n?” you nod at her, confused about her sudden shift in attitude. she flies a bit further than you before turning around, “well hurry up.” she demands. you jog up to her and she leads you to the girls lavatory. you look up at her flying and sobs erupt loudly from one of the stalls. she flies down towards your ear and whispers, “he’s sensitive, people bully him too, and he feels lonely and hasn’t got anybody to talk to, and he’s not afraid to show his feelings and cry!” she empathizes on her last word.
slowly, you walk towards the stall where the crying boy was. you push the creaky stall door open and see draco on the floor. he doesn’t notice you until you place your hand on his back. as he looks up at you, you notice how bloodshot his eyes were and how distraught his facial features were. you pull him close to you and embrace him as he plants his face on your neck and continues to sob. “y/n,” he barely lets out, “the note means nothing. im sorry, i was scared that you would reject my feelings because i’m draco malfoy. the boy everybody hates and would avoid at all costs. but every time i see you, my heart flutters as if it’s going to fly out of my chest or i can’t speak.” he continues to sob, you chuckle softly. “it’s alright, draco. because i like you too. and i realized when i saw you in my reflection in the mirror of erised. i saw the draco malfoy. so don’t be scared.” you comfort him.
for what felt like hours and what probably was, draco pulls away from your warm embrace. he doesn’t look at you, embarrassed for his actions in the last hour. you wipe the remaining tears off of his face, softly with your thumb, as if you’re trying not to crack him even more. you both stand up off the lavatory floor and he looks down at you again. you hold out an open palm to him, signifying him to hold your hand. draco hesitantly grabs your hand and firmly clasps it in his. you drag him until meeting the exit of the lavatory where he stops you.
“y/n.” you turn around and hum at him to continue, “why would you ever want to love someone like me.” you walk closer to him and cup his cheek, “because, even though you have flaws, you can overcome them. i will try,” you pause, “to fix you.”
the following days, draco seemed happier than usual and that scared most people at hogwarts. some nights, he would sneak you into his prefect dorm and cuddle until morning or have you keep him company while he’s doing homework.
you lay in his bed before the slytherin x gryffindor game as draco lays next to you. leaning your head over to check the time, brings out the groan in draco as his head rest had moved. he pulls you back down and nuzzles his head into your neck, “give me five more minutes.” he groans. “draco, i have to go early today, i’m meeting the trio before the boys get ready for the game.” he opens his eyes and gives you a frown, giving you the opportunity to get out of his grip. you pick up your robe and leave as you put it on. “i’ll see you at the game!” you yell from the common room.
walking down the hall, millions of eyes stare at you. you see the trio in the hall as ron and harry stuff their faces for their game. hermione’s usual frown turns into a grin as she stares at you walking down the hall. ron spits out the chicken leg he had been eating and points at you with his free hand. you look at your friends, “what? is there something on my face?” harry chuckles as ron answers, “more like on your body.” you look down at your robe and your eyes widen. when did you put on draco’s robe? and why didn’t you notice? it’s like two times the size of your body.
for the rest of the day until the game, you wore the green robe because one, you couldn’t get into the slytherin common room and two, even if you did get into the common room, you can’t get into draco’s locked room. repping the forest green merch all day was literal torture. not because of hate but because of the begging of wanting to know whose robe it was.
finally it was time for the game. the wind was crisp but snowy as the white specks littered the field. you wrap the robe around your frame, feeling a bit embarrassed as you stood out in the sea of red, wearing the green robe. the players fly out on to the field draco scans the crowd in the crowd until noticing a speck of green. you flash him a close lipped smile and he smirks before yelling out, “looking good in green, l/n.” you give him an unamused smile as harry and ron fly towards you and hermione turns to you, then the rest of gryffindor. “y/n.” you slowly turn your head towards hermione, “yes?” she keeps a straight face, “why do you have malfoy’s robe?” you open your mouth to speak but madame hooch calls the boys over to start the game. draco laughs at you as you point at him and pretend to cut your throat, mouthing, “you’re dead.”
the game goes on while you sit and talk with hermione about your potions homework. while she tells you how to make a sleeping draught, she gets interrupted by dean thomas. “and draco malfoy has caught the snitch! slytherin wins!” a smile arises on your face as you watch draco celebrate. and to your surprise he flies over to the mic and grabs it. “hey everyone!” he shouts, hermione and you turn your head to look at him, “i’m draco malfoy and i’m love y/n l/n!” he says as points at you, amused with your surprised look. everybody starts to crowd around you and ask you questions. getting annoyed about the crowd, you finally yell out, “yes! i am in love with draco malfoy!” before running out of the stands to anywhere far away.
you wait for draco as his teammates walk out of the locker room, leaving you with unnecessary comments like, “wow, malfoy really pulled in a good one,” or “hey, if malfoy doesn’t work out, i’m always available.” in which you responded with a middle finger and the roll of your eyes. he finally comes out and you cross your arms at him. he laughs at your unamused face and comes to pull you into his embrace. you mumble profanities into his chest. “what’d you say love?” he says, amused at your reaction. “i said-“ before you can speak your thoughts, he pulls you back into his chest to shut you up.
as the both of you walk back to the castle, in the cold might i add, he holds your left hand while your right wears his glove and his left hand wears the other side. your intertwined hands stay connected as he puts them into his jacket pocket.
you lay on his bed as he showers before the two of you head to dinner. draco walks back into the room and sees you asleep, hair laid out around you and snuggled into his blanket. a smile arises on his face as he watches you groan in your sleep, feeling cold. draco gets into his bed and wraps his arm around your waist, snuggling his face into your hair. you wake up from his action, “what time is it?” you ask him, eyes still closed. “ten before dinner.” he mumbles, also feeling sleepy after his game. you turn around to face him, one eye closed and the other open, you yawn. you nuzzle against his chest and he pulls you closer to him.
you later wake up by theodore nott opening draco’s door and whispers. you tell him to shush by putting a finger to your lip and he gives you a grin and a thumbs up before going out to the common room and yelling, “malfoy actually got a girl!” you smile at his words and lay back down.
you wake up the next morning as draco brushes his hands through your hair with the addition of twisting and twirling it. he grins as you look up at him. “good morning, love.” he speaks. you give him a light, “good morning.” as the both of you rub your legs together. after ten minutes, you get out of bed, ignoring draco’s whines, and go to his bathroom. while you brush your teeth, he comes into the bathroom and slides his arms around your waist with his chest pressed to your back. you spit and leave the bathroom to get dressed. you sit on his bed, waiting for him, so you could go to breakfast.
you sit at breakfast with a serious face as you think about what to get the boy, who basically has everything. “you okay, y/n?” harry asks, a little confused about your daydreaming. “yeah.” you answer with a small smile. “so hogsmeade later today right?” you ask your friends. hermione nods at you with a happy smile.
you later walk to hogsmeade with your three friends, snow covering the whole landscape with draco’s scarf on your neck because he thought that you would be cold and was worrying about you. harry stops in his tracks and looks at you, “when were you ever gonna tell us that you were dating malfoy?” your eyes shift to the side, “we only started recently. like a month ago, i thought we were gonna wait a little longer, but i guess the dopamine got to him. i’m sorry that i didn’t tell you, but i’m not gonna stop loving him because of your relationship with him.” harry’s eyes widen along with ron’s. “no, y/n, we’re not telling you that we disapprove, we just wanted to know why?” you give them a close lipped smile, “because everyone deserves a second chance, no matter how horrible they were.” you continue walking, “come on, let’s go.”
you walk around the shops with hermione after splitting up from the boys. walking through the narrow alleyways, your eyes land something shiny. getting closer to the shop, you see a beautiful snake encrusted, black titanium ring. you grab the door handle before realizing hermione was still with you. “oh, hermione, i’ll meet you at schrivenshaft’s after i’m done.” she rolls her eyes, “okay.” entering the shop, an elderly man greets you. “hello, my dear. what can i help you with today?” he asks, standing up to walk to you. “i would love to see the ring in the window stand, please.”
“ah, excellent choice, my dear.” he says as he picks the ring up off the stand, “a black titanium ring, representing power, strength and certainty. with the addition of a snake, representing rebirth, transformation, immortality and healing.”
“yes sir, i believe he was always a wonderful person, just never had the chance to show it. though we started roughly, i believe he changed. and whatever hurt him back then, could be shed off like a snake.”
the old man smiles at you widely, “that is wonderful, my dear. would you like your initials engraved into it?” you smile back, “i would love to.”
you leave the store after he engraved your initials and walk to meet hermione.
the evening of christmas eve, you sit outside with draco, next to the lake. his head rests on your thigh as your fingers brush through his hair smoothly. his eyes are closed while yours stay open as you stare out into the peaceful lake. “y/n?” draco speaks, still with his eyes closed. you answer with a hum. “are you bored of me yet?” you gasp and look down at him, his eyes wide open now. “of course not, why would you ever think of that?” he sits up to meet your eyes, “other people think i don’t deserve you.” you grab his hand and rub your thumb across the back of his hand.
“don’t be daft draco. if anything, i don’t deserve you. you are the most intelligent and kind boy i’ve ever met. you’re just misunderstood. you’ve treated me better than anyone in my life has and i can’t ever stop loving you for that. so don’t let those fools get to you. i love you so much and if it takes saying that everyday, i will. so don’t forget it.” his eyes water at the end of your sentence. you lean close to him and wrap your arms around his neck, “i love you.” you whisper. you kiss his forehead as he releases from your hold before standing up and reaching a hand out to him, “let’s go to dinner, darling.”
that night after dinner, you go back to draco’s dorm. you lounge around on his bed while he finishes up his dada homework. flipping the page of the book you were reading, you shift your eyes towards draco as he writes his neat notes. he groans, shuts his book and gets into bed with you. you then shut your book and hug draco. he stares at you while you shut your eyes and then playfully open them. “are you tired?” you ask him. he nods, sleepily. “then sleep, i’ll be here when you wake up. i promise.” you whisper back. he closes his eyes as you brush your fingers through his hair.
you wake up the next morning with a smile on your face. draco stirs around in his sleep as you exit his bed and walk to his bathroom. after cleaning up, you walk out of his room and into the common room as you see eager first years opening gifts under the tree. draco comes out sleepily and wraps his arms around your waist, back hugging you. “good morning darling.” you say as you turn around to hug him. “i have something for you.” pulling out the ring box, you hand it over to him. you smile as he opens the box and takes the ring out. “y/n, that’s beautiful. when did you?”
“i went out with the trio remember? i engraved my initials in it so it would be memorable.” he pulls you in for a hug, “thank you. well i also have something for you, love.” you see a small box coming out of his pocket. he hands you the box to open and when you do, a surprised look appears on your face. you pull out a diamond ring with the initials, “d.m” written on them. your eyes tear up at the gift and he pulls you into his embrace. “thank you darling. this is so thoughtful.” the both of you stay in an embrace until theo speaks. “you know you’re both under a mistletoe right? that means, smoochy smooch time.” he grins.
draco cups one side of your face while your hands make their way to the back of his neck. he leans closer and finally, his lips touch yours. his lips felt soft and smooth as yours danced against his. the kiss ends with the both of you staring at each other lovingly.
“i love you y/n.”
“i love you more draco.”
“no way.”
you smile at him softly,
“looks like you didn’t need to be fixed.”
