read through alien space for star rail context and every frame himeko's in you can faintly hear me in the bg trying hard not to think about how much she looks like diluc
#personal stuff#delete later#remembering the reason i got into honkai in the first place was to see what similarities genshin might have inherited#and going oh yeah!! this is fun actually#anyway yeah. woe same hair color bangs and art style be upon ye. the little hair loopy is driving me crazy#don't get me started on the red eye that pepper mint has contrasted to the delusion. good night#the manga itself was really interesting though! i haven't read a whole lot of the honkai manga bc i don't know where to start really#like i've read azure waters bc i love my girl. and second key for gay people lore#but i haven't read any of the others i don't think#also REALLY funny to me who didn't finish apho 2. originally i thought welt's star rail experience was an isekai.#i honest to god thought void archives hit him with a train and he woke up on a different train#while funny. the actual reality has me head in hands. the image of star rail himeko that welt sees and recognizes her.....auuuugh.#and the very person who rescues him is the person he feels like he did wrong by lying to her. agh.#but yeah! i only knew a little bit abt himeko's dad based on what we're told early in game#so i originally speculated that genshin murata's father was the og pyro archon who died and she took his place#but now i'm not entirely sure.#chances are. since we've seen archons inherit the same Ideal along with their element. murata probably fought her predecessor#and took their place#ACTUALLY FUCK ME. WAIT.#LIBEN'S LINE ABOUT NATLAN . WAS HIM TALKING ABOUT OTHER WORLDS.#at first i thought it was just a cheap way for the developers to talk about their other new game and maybe it was BUT ALSO.#AND AT LEAST ONE MURATA WAS OBSESSED WITH GOING TO SPACE.#HMMMM#listen i am not all that excited for natlan purely on the basis that i know mhy is going to fuck up every character design#but plotwise maybe i am allowed a little bit of hope. lol#anyway void archives pretty. i get it now.

[Chapter title: Irresistible]
Muichiro Tokitou x Reader
Wattpad: [KNY Fanfiction] (One shots) Tokito Muichiro x Reader
Archive: Kimetsu No Yaiba: Tokitou Muichiro x Reader Master list: ♠ Information ♠
Tumblr media
Link of the artist's profile is this: https://twitter.com/rainyforesty
I am open to requests for Muichiro x Reader content, and I also enjoy engaging in roleplays. If you're interested in either, please feel free to check out my pinned post for more information. ~ ♠
Tumblr media
The late evening had arrived, and the once thunderous music had subsided, replaced by a hushed silence. Surveying the scene, her friends sprawled across the living room, their exhausted bodies in various positions, their faces etched with weariness from the night of revelry.
Y/n sighed as she looked around the messy living room. Empty bottles, half-eaten snacks, and scattered party decorations were strewn across the floor. It had been a wild night, filled with laughter, dancing, and perhaps a bit too much alcohol.
She gently tiptoed over her sleeping friends, careful not to disturb their much-needed rest. As she made her way towards her bedroom, she couldn't help but smile at the memories created during the evening. The party had been a success, and everyone seemed to have had a great time.
Thankfully the decision to rent the villa instead of hosting the party at her own house was made. She couldn't imagine the chaos that would have ensued if they had chosen her place. Her friends had suggested it, assuming it would be more convenient, but she had insisted on the villa for precisely this reason.
The thought of her pristine home being transformed into the aftermath of a wild party made her shudder. She cherished her space and valued cleanliness, so it was a relief that the mess was contained within the rented villa.
Y/n wasn't much of a drinker anyways, hence saving her of losing her dignity unlike her friends who were now scattered and laying down on the floor.
Y/n stepped out onto the patio, the cool night air enveloping her as she made her way towards the pool. The sight before her was breathtaking. The large, inviting pool glistened under the soft illumination of the surrounding dimly lights, casting a mesmerizing reflection on the water's surface. It was a tranquil scene, a stark contrast to the raucous energy of the party that had taken place just hours before.
The gentle ripples and undulations of the water captured her gaze, and she noticed the elegant movement of long strands of hair gracefully gliding through the pool. Initially assuming it belonged to a female friend, she soon recognized the unmistakable mint-colored ends that distinguished it.
Y/n's eyes widened in surprise as Muichiro emerged from the pool. The sight before her was nothing short of stunning. Droplets of water cascaded down his chiseled physique, accentuating his well-defined muscles. His long black-to-minty hair clung to his shoulders and back, creating an ethereal and captivating image. She couldn't help but appreciate the beauty before her. Muichiro had always been attractive, but in this moment, he seemed like a work of art. His presence exuded confidence and a quiet strength that drew her gaze.
"Y/n, How come you're still awake?" Muichiro inquired, his gaze fixed on her. Water droplets lingered on his lashes, resembling tears, as they cascaded down to his chest, adding to the allure that captivated Y/n's attention.
"U-Um, I can't sleep." she stammered, her cheeks flushing slightly as her gaze trailed to his well-defined abs. He looked incredibly attractive in that moment.
"And I don't feel tired just yet," she explained, her eyes briefly scanning the surroundings, trying to divert her focus from him.
Muichiro hummed in agreement, he too didn't felt tired. He shifted his position, sitting on the ledge of the pool beside her, his feet still dipped into the cool water. The moonlight cast a soft glow on their surroundings, heightening the sense of calmness.
Y/n watched as Muichiro's damped strands scattered messily across his forehead and the concrete, adding a touch of untamed allure to his already captivating appearance. Her eyes lingered on his relaxed posture, the way his muscles flexed slightly as he settled into a comfortable position.
"Isn't the water cold at this hour?" Y/n asked, stealing glances at him, her eyes attempting to catch a glimpse of his gaze hidden beneath his drenched bangs.
He shook his head gently. "No, not at all." Muichiro leaned closer to the pool, observing his own reflection on the translucent surface.
With a mischievous grin on his lips, he cupped some water in his palm and playfully declared, "See?" He then splashed the cupped water onto Y/n's face.
"WHA—" Y/n's eyes widened in surprise as the cool water splashed onto her face, drenching her in an unexpected splash. The droplets trickled down her skin, leaving her momentarily stunned. She blinked, wiping away the water that clung to her eyelashes, and her surprise turned into a mixture of disbelief and amusement.
She stared at Muichiro, her expression shifting from shock to playfulness. Despite the unexpected splash, she couldn't help but be captivated by the enchanting sound of his laughter. It was infectious and filled with a carefree joy that seemed to light up the night.
"Mui! I just took a bath!" Her eyes twitching in a playful banter of annoyance. "Oh, you think that's funny, huh?" Without a second thought, she reached her hand into the pool and splashed water back at him, her aim true and retaliatory. The water splashed against Muichiro's chest, droplets scattering around him, and he let out a surprised gasp before breaking into another bout of laughter.
"I find this much more entertaining," Muichiro remarked before abruptly yanking Y/n towards the pool, causing her to be drenched in a cascade of water that spilled over the pool's edge.
For most people, being in the pool would be no cause for concern, but unfortunately, Y/n did not know how to swim. As she was pulled into the water, panic seized her, resembling a startled cat that had accidentally fallen into a body of water
"M-MUI!" Y/n's heart raced as she instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, seeking support and stability in her vulnerable state.
As she clung to him, her face mere inches away from his, she couldn't help but feel a mixture of embarrassment and heightened awareness of their proximity. The rush of adrenaline mixed with the heat of her blush, creating a cocktail of emotions that swirled within her.
Muichiro's smug grin didn't escape her notice, and she couldn't help but feel a mix of annoyance and amusement at his mischievousness. Part of her wanted to wipe that smug off his face for pulling such a prank, but another part found the closeness and intimacy of the moment exhilarating. Muichiro's laughter filled the air, intertwining with the sounds of the water and creating a joyful symphony. His arms encircled Y/n's waist, providing a reassuring embrace that eased her worries.
"Y-You bastard..." Y/n cussed despite this her lips curved into a reluctant smile. She couldn't deny the magnetic pull that Muichiro had on her, his charm and charisma breaking through any attempts to stay angry with him.
Muichiro knew this and often abused this, it was so unfair!
But what can you do?
You can't resist him.
"Maybe I am a bit of a bastard," Muichiro admitted, his voice tinged with amusement. "But you know you love me anyway."
Y/n's blush deepened, the truth of his words ringing in her ears. She couldn't deny the strong affection and connection she felt towards him, even if it sometimes came with its fair share of exasperation. It was a delicate dance between annoyance and adoration, a balance that seemed to define their unique bond.
She playfully nudged him with her elbow, a mock scowl on her face. "You're insufferable, you know that?" she teased, unable to hide the affectionate glimmer in her eyes.
Muichiro chuckled, his gaze softening as he looked at her. "And you're too irresistible for your own good," he replied, his voice filled with sincerity. "I can't help but be drawn to you."
Smooth bastard.
Yeah, you definitely can't resist him.

Intro Post!!
Hello!! I am Type1DragonWolf, and welcome to my page!! I am a Wings of Fire, Warrior cats, Mystreet, Sun and Moon Show/Lunar and Earth Show fan, but I will mostly focus on SaMS/LaES!! Questions you might have:
Pronouns/Gender: She/Her, female
Sexuality: Straight Age: Teenager
What to call me: Emiko (not real name), but I would prefer DragonWolf, or just dragon or wolf :)
Goals: Become an animator when I’m older
Height: 5’5”
Fav colors: Magenta and Mint, but I also love cold and pastel colors!!
Favorite characters: Freedom/Lizard(Wings of Fire), Jayfeather and Briarlight(Warrior cats) and Lunar, Earth, Solar and Frank(SAMS/LAES)
Fav foods: Black licorice(I’m serious) and taro milk boba tea with boba bubbles!
Fav ships: Winter x Lynx(WoF), Jayfeather x Briarlight & RavenBarley(WC) and Earth x Monty & Lunar x Gemini(SAMS/LAES)
Fav quotes: No one’s going to pity you forever. —Gemini
Sometimes helping people is just criticizing them. Doesn’t mean you hate them. —Sun
Likes: BOOKS, BARNES & NOBLES, Music, colors/color theory, Dogs/wolves, cats, Dragons, FNAF, Warrior Cats, Wings of Fire, Sun and Moon Show/Lunar and Earth Show, Aphmau’s Mystreet, Aphmau’s MID, squishmallows, drawing and doodles, ocs, oc STORIES, aus, friends, comments and likes, emoji faces, heat, fun facts/learning new things
Dislikes: My family, jerks/haters, being interrupted, doing school (I don’t HATE it, just don’t like doing worksheets and stuff), The creator(from SAMS/LAES), Kai (from Mystreet, he makes my blood BOIL), excessive lip smacking, heights, the dark (kinda)
I’m ok with reposts (as long as you credit me), reblogs, likes, comments, and tips!! Your opinion matters!! I will also take art requests!!
RULES:
1: No being rude of disrespectful
2: Do not steal my art and claim it as yours (who would want to anyways with how bad it is? 🥲)
3: Explore all you want!! Mi casa es tu casa!!
This is my main oc Emiko Schwartz. (Her eyes are brown in case you’re wondering) She is a Wolf/Human hybrid. (Or a furry, I guess) Her power is that her ears and tail change color to reflect her emotions, and this is her default colors. She used to be orange and yellow, which mean happiness and contentment, however, over the years they have changed to Magenta(Hurt/Anger) and Mint(Envy). Also, beware of when her eyes turn magenta. That means she will turn into a wolf and probably attack!

Read on AO3 or below the cut.
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Doctor Who (2005) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Metacrisis Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler Characters: Metacrisis Tenth Doctor (Doctor Who), Rose Tyler, Mia Tyler Additional Tags: Fluff, Family Fluff, meanwhile in Pete's world, Feel-good, tentoo and rose and mia are a very happy family, a surprise pet, mia is her father's daughter Summary:
“Tell me there isn’t a bomb in our flat,” she demanded, although her voice was shaking. There have been many blasts since Rose met the Doctor back in 2005, and there definitely have been little (or not so little) explosions since they’ve permanently relocated to this universe. “Tell me our entire complex building isn’t about to fly up to the Moon!”
Rose was just closing the front door to their apartment when she heard a loud crash coming from the kitchen.
She narrowed her eyes in suspicion, ready to confront her overly-enthusiastic and impossible to contain husband about his exciting new project he’d adopted recently without her knowing.
Rose was also ready to give third degree to her eleven-year-old daughter, Mia, who was often (read: always) her husband’s trusty partner in crime.
Rose toed off her white sneakers, clutching the wall for support. She locked the door -  the quiet ‘snick’ of the latch did nothing to warn the people in the kitchen, who continued to exclaim worriedly about someone named Gary.
Try as she might, Rose couldn’t remember any of Mia’s friends - or classmates - having the name Gary.
She wasn’t the most involved parent in the world, really. If anything, the Doctor was more into the school stuff like festivals and charities and art projects, but she could bet that she knew all of Mia’s pals personally.
So who the hell was Gary?
Rose tiptoed to the kitchen, stepping over Mia’s carelessly discarded school bag and the Doctor’s sunglasses (why in the world would he need them in the middle of November, she wondered.)
She leaned onto the wall and peered into the kitchen, feeling truly fearful. 
Rose was mightily happy for the wall’s support that moment, because not many things in the universe - universes - could prepare her for what she witnessed in their kitchen.
Two out of three chairs (three more were stored in the storeroom for when Jackie, Pete and Tony came for a biweekly visit) were standing upright on the table’s surface. Their legs were pointing menacingly towards the ceiling, and the third chair was lying on its side next to the window.
Rose took her eyes off the chairs and lowered them to the tiled floor. Her husband was lying on his stomach, and her daughter was standing on  her fours, and they both were looking below the pantry.
Rose was also fairly sure that she could hear some strange clicking from below the pantry.
Oh, God!
“Tell me there isn’t a bomb in our flat,” she demanded, although her voice was shaking. There have been many blasts since Rose met the Doctor back in 2005, and there definitely have been little (or not so little) explosions since they’ve permanently relocated to this universe. “Tell me our entire complex building isn’t about to fly up to the Moon!”
The Doctor and Mia’s heads turned to her abruptly. Rose was taken aback at how similar these two were, not for the first time. 
It was uncanny, really, how their habits and traits were so in-sync, carbon-copy-like, even if they were two different people, divided by age, gender and life experience. Rose felt that she’d never be able to get used to the similarities.
Experience…experience…explosions!
“What?” the Doctor questioned, scoffing, but stayed put on the floor, merely choosing to focus on Rose and not the uneven clicking below the pantry. “Why would you think there’s a bomb in our house, Rose?! Honestly, as if I’d ever allow Mia to be in danger!” he huffed and nodded to himself before returning his attention back to whatever was ticking.
Rose just stood there, gaping, until she saw Mia waving at her.
“Hi, mum!” she greeted cheerfully. Wat too cheerfully. Rose tensed. “How was your day?” When Rose stayed silent, staring at them with suspicion, Mia cleared her throat and scuffed her shoe on the floor.
Rose had to keep a smile from appearing on her face. Okay, Mia was the Doctor’s daughter alright, but she still had some traits that were unmistakably Rose.
Like shoe scuffing and love for gymnastics.
“We’ve a surprise for you!” Mia offered, now sounding truly timidly. Rose felt her shoulders rise to her ears in worry.
Surprises from the Doctor and Mia weren’t always nice.
They tended to be catastrophic.
“What is it?” Rose asked, trying to stay calm.
“Umm…” Mia drawled, and the Doctor stayed strangely occupied by whatever was ticking and clicking below the pantry.
Rose’s temper finally blew up (she wasn’t sure she liked the pun).
“What is it there, Doctor? What have you got beneath the pantry?” she threatened as she lowered herself to the floor and looked to where the Doctor was staring…
…only to be jumped upon by something ticking and scaly immediately.
“Bad Gary!” the Doctor cried as he attempted to help Rose take the scaly thing off her. It didn’t budge. “That’s no way to meet your new family member - now look at what you’ve gone and done - you’ve ruined Rose’s first impression of you. You can’t have a second first impression, you know!” the Doctor chided, and Rose took time to look at what attacked her.
Her heart was still beating like mad, fused by adrenaline in her blood, as she took in the animal now curled up in her arms.
It was a lizard.
A lizard. On a leash. Licking her jacket’s fabric, looking peaceful as ever.
The leash was currently in the Doctor’s hand, and he was looking, wide-eyed and not slightly disappointed, at the animal.
The lizard, meanwhile, made home of Rose’s arms, seeming complacent, if not happy.
The look of astonishment was wiped from the Doctor’s face, and one of minor disappointment and even jealousy appeared.
“Figures,” he muttered. “I rescue it from the London sewers, offer it a nice environment to stay in and a nifty accessory to never get lost in the streets, and it goes and chooses a pretty blonde. Tsk!” 
Rose couldn’t stop her smile upon hearing the Doctor’s tirade.
Mia was smiling, too, hiding her lips behind her palm.
“A pretty blonde, am I? Is that all you have to say about your wife of fourteen years, Doctor?” she teased, pouting a little for good measure.
The tips of the Doctor’s trembled.
Rose felt victorious.
“Are you not amused, Doctor?” she asked, bringing one of her shoulders to her chin in a flirty gesture.
“Ugh! Gross!” Mia scoffed, making a ‘bleh’ face, and promptly left the kitchen.
The Doctor and Rose both looked at her retreating form. They then turned back to each other, smiling.
The Doctor’s eyes were bright with passion and mischief.
Rose started to gently stroke the lizard - Gary - with the tips of her fingers while they were locked in a staring contest with the Doctor, until…
Rose wasn’t sure if she was hallucinating, but she could swear that the lizard started to vibrate, and all of a sudden pink, yellow and violet glow appeared from beneath the lizard’s - Gary’s - scaly skin. 
“What?” she trailed off, mesmerised by the sudden light show.
“Ummm…” the Doctor said, scratching his head nervously, as he was prone to do it when he needed to confess something to her. Rose narrowed her eyes at his antics. “Gary might be…” the Doctor stuttered, pulling at his ear, “Gary might be alien. Ish.” Upon seeing Rose’s astonished expression, the Doctor hurried to explain. 
“He’s far, far away from home, Rose. And he’s harmless, like, entirely children-and-teens-suitable, really! And his species tend to live for about 300 years, so it’s sort of a family-relic pet, really, for Mia to keep, for Mia’s children and grandchildren to keep…” he ranted, and the lizard kept on glowing merrily. “And they, well, his species glow when they’re happy. You make him happy, Rose, how can we now leave him all alone on an alien planet? You can’t, can you?” the Doctor gestured to her and smiled awkwardly, looking at her ingratiatingly. “Not the Rose Tyler I know, the one with the big, big heart and taste for strays!”
“Yeah, I remember a certain stray trying to enter my flat through a cat flap…” she teased, and the Doctor chuckled in reply.
Rose pursed her lips, thinking.
Mia did want a pet. And she certainly was old enough to recognise how important it was to take great care of pets. And a lizard, even an alien one, was supposed to be less high-maintenance than a puppy, right?
It even had a leash, for heaven’s sake! They could walk it in her parents’ garden…
And it did appear on the Doctor’s way, and it surely was a sign…another stray for her to keep.
Suddenly, Rose noticed Mia listening to their conversation from behind her room’s door.
Rose had to fight off a smile. Mia was as sneaky as the Doctor was.
Which was not at all, really.
She had been outnumbered before she’d met Gary, really.
And he did seem sweet.
“Okay. Okay!” Rose said loudly, and was immediately tackled into a hug by Mia, only to be joined by the Doctor as well.
“Thank you, mum! You won’t regret this!” Mia gushed as she took Gary from Rose’s arms and put it on the floor.
The lizard walked to the fridge, not minding the leash, clicking its talons on the tiled floor.
Rose huffed with laughter.
That seemed to explain the bomb noises, then.
The Doctor placed a quick kiss on Rose’s cheek and hugged from behind, and they watched, smiling, at Mia feeding Gary chocolate mint ice cream.
“His favourite!” the Doctor declared, and Rose had nothing to do but giggle nervously at the upcoming changes in their little family’s routine.
It was all worth it, she decided, as she leaned into the Doctor’s hug, feeling peaceful and content like never before.
It was worth it.

Guess who bought more rare Raggedy merch to put up on archive!
These two 1979 cassettes with accompanying books are part of a set of 7(that I've found evidence of so far) that as far as I can tell were distributed to schools and libraries only. The books are in near mint condition, I even got two copies of one of them, and I'm looking for someone to digitize the tapes to preserve the audio as well. A couple other books in this series are already scanned on internet archive, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Ann Learns a Lesson.
The art style is one of my favorites, and this series of books are the only ones to feature the character Cynthia!
