Softer Side (pt.3)
[Final part 😘]
Pairing: Mattheo Riddle x reader
Word Count: ~1.9k
Warning: fighting, mentions of blood, fluff
sorry this did not end in smut, but this whole series has been about Mattheo's soft side so I felt it was only right it ended fluffy 😌
Your senses were enveloped with what you’ve become familiar with as Mattheo’s scent. The smell of lemons and patchouli with the ever familiar hint of tobacco was slowly becoming your favorite. His strong arms wrapped around your shoulders from behind as he placed a gentle kiss to your temple. You smiled at the tender gesture as he sat down at the table next to you. “Coming to study with me, Teo? Are you feeling ill?” You placed the back of your hand on his forehead in a teasing manner.
He knocked your hand back playfully, “You should know me better than that, y/n/n. Studying on a Friday?” You snorted, “Studying at all…” Mattheo rolled his eyes, “Do you wanna know why I’m really here, Princess?” You nodded, leaning your head on your hand. “There’s going to be a party tonight, in the Slytherin common room.” When your face was unchanging Mattheo raised his eyebrows at you, “You’re coming, right?” You sighed, leaning back in your chair, “Dunno, might just keep studying.”
He groaned like a child being told no sweets before dinner, “C’mon…please come. You never come to parties.”
“How do you know I don’t go to parties?”
“You’re not the only one who’s people watched this year,” his wink caused an immediate flush to your cheeks. “You can get ready with Pansy, then you can sit by us the whole time. It’ll be fun, we’ll drink, play games. Theo will ask you to smoke and you can deny him, it’ll be the best of times.” You gnawed on the inside of your cheek, contemplating your decision. The longer your thought the closer Mattheo was bringing his face. Closer and closer and closer until his nose was pressed against your cheek. He knew your answer before you could even say ‘yes’, knowing the grin on your face meant he won and you would be going. He stood triumphantly, letting out a slightly too loud cheer and being shushed by Madam Pince. He kissed your cheek, letting you know he’d see you at the party as he and the other boys ‘needed to finish some planning’.
You did your best to continue to study, even for a few hours. But your nerves about the party were too loud. You decided to find Pansy, seeing if she’d spend a little extra time helping you get ready as this was your first party in a long time. She was more than excited, practically destroying her dorm room with flying dresses, tops, and skirts. She finally landed on you wearing an emerald green pleated skirt, a little shorter than you normally wear; falling just above mid-thigh. Your top was a black crop top with two delicate strings criss-crossing around your abdomen and tying in the back. She had you accessorize with a dark green velvet choker and a gorgeous silver snake ring. Pansy argued that you should wear heels but thankfully she let you opt for shiny black doc martens.
You looked yourself over again, doubt clouding your brain. Pansy encouraged you, telling you how good you looked and how much Mattheo would be drooling over you. You pushed your doubts aside, entering the party with Pansy hand in hand as she led you to the rest of the group. Mattheo greeted you with a kiss, whispering in your ear about how breathtaking he thought you looked in the Slytherin house colors. He brought you down to the couch with him, draping your legs over his lap. You all talk and joke together, playing some games and drinking. You needed a refill, so Pansy agreed to go with you, both of you agreeing to grab some drinks for some others. You were surprised how well the night was going. Until it wasn’t.
“Can you believe who Mattheo’s been spending time with all night?” You stilled at the drink table, listening now to the conversation of the girls behind you. “Oh god, yes. Little mouse of a girl, that Ravenclaw. I mean, what does he think he’s going to accomplish?” You were seething now, Pansy noticing your change in demeanor. You made eye contact with her, her eyebrows raising as if to ask you what’s wrong. You opened your mouth to answer, but then you heard the girls voices again, mocking you and Mattheo, talking poorly about him and his intentions. You couldn’t take it.
You turned around, grabbing the main girl's shoulder. “What the bloody hell is your problem? Have you ever even had one conversation with Mattheo or do you just pine for him from afar like a loser?” You'd forgotten about the drinks, hands at your side clenching and unclenching. Pansy was behind you, arms crossed and smirking. The girl scoffed, “Do I have to? Everyone knows how he is.”
“You have no idea how he is. You don’t know the first real thing about him,” you were doing your best to stay calm, but you could feel your anger rising. One more thing, just one more ignorant thing out of her mouth and you weren’t going to be able to control yourself. The smirk that formed on the girl’s face told you that she thought her next words were going to make her seem like she knew it all, “You think because he gave you a few hickey’s that it’s your job to defend him now? Do you even know the number of girls he’s done that to? You are not special to him. He’s a prick, always been a prick, always will be a prick. Honestly we’re doing you a favor leveling out your expectations right now.”
And there it was, your boiling point. You turned your head slightly, speaking to Pansy now, “Do me a favor, Pans?” She nodded her head, confused by the smile forming on your face, “Go get Mattheo, maybe Theo too while you’re at it.” The girl across from you gave you a mocking pout, “What’s wrong? Need big bad Mattheo and friends to come defend you, feeling bad now?” You closed your eyes, pinching the bridge of your nose as you tried to contain your laughter. The girl clearly confused by your response. You took a deep breath, opening your eyes and making direct eye contact with her, “God no. Pansy’s gonna go get them for your sake. Because they’re going to be the only one’s strong enough to stop me from beating the shit out of you.”
The girl opened her mouth to respond, but your fist was already connecting with her nose. She doubled over in pain, and you used this as an opportunity to throw her down to the ground. You pushed her back to the ground, kneeling over her chest as you took swings at her. You had to give her some props, she really did try to fight back for a moment, pulling at the strings of your top and trying to grab at your hair. You laughed slightly at her efforts, which probably made you look slightly more crazy than you already did to the crowd that was forming around the both of you. You got one more good swing in before you were being lifted into the air, the same familiar scent of lemon and patchouli filling your senses like this afternoon.
The girl was lucky Mattheo was so strong, because you were thrashing against his grasp but he still held you like you weighed nothing. Your adrenaline and anger still high as ever, not wanting to be done with the fight, “Mattheo you let me down right now, she deserves it.” You felt him chuckle against your back, “No way, princess. Parties over for you. You keep thrashing around and you’ll make me have to use a binding spell on you.” You slumped immediately, making him laugh again. He carried you to his dorm, finally setting you down once you exited the hall. He led you to the bathroom, where he lifted you back up to have you sit on the large countertop, hands settling on either side of your thighs, “Now, you wanna tell me why I just witnessed my innocent little Ravenclaw in a fight that easily rivaled one I would get myself into?”
You averted your gaze, looking down at your hands in your lap. Your bruised and bloodied hands. You wanted to feel awful, but her words played in your head again, “She was being a cunt.” You mumbled your response, causing Mattheo to tilt your chin up, forcing your eyes on his, “Come again, darling?” You sighed deeply, speaking more clearly this time, “She was being a cunt.” Mattheo was laughing again. You were glad he found this whole situation so amusing. “While I don’t doubt that, do you mind telling me exactly what happened to earn her the title?” He took one of your hands in his, grabbing his wand with the other. He started waving his want over your injured knuckles as you explained to him what happened. How you overheard them talking about you, and what they thought his intentions were. How you told them to shove off, then they told you that you were just another girl to him. Which, you clarified, was fine if it were true, but that he did not deserve to be talked about that way just because they were jealous of you being the current girl gaining his attention.
Mattheo finished mending your hands, then did a quick once over of your face and neck to make sure you didn’t have any other injuries before he responded. “You know, usually I’m the one getting mended, kind of a nice change to be the one taking care of somebody.” You blushed as he continued, “You're not just some girl to me, y/n. Not just another name on some list I have in my nightstand. You're different. Special to me." You looked at him with wide eyes, not quite expecting those words to be told to you. He cupped your face, thumb rubbing your cheek gently before placing a kiss to the other side.
"You seem to have this habit of defending me, y/n. Why do you get so mad when someone talks bad about me, love? You know most of what they say is probably true.” You shook your head, “It’s not true. Not the Mattheo I know. Not my Mattheo.” He hummed at your words, “Mm, your Mattheo. I like the sound of that.” You giggled slightly, pushing his shoulder, “You know what I mean. Just- I see a different side of you.” He nodded, dimples on full display as he came to stand between your legs, “Yeah, you do. But there’s another side that I’ve just been dying to show you.”
You wrapped your arms around his neck, looking up at him through your lashes, “Is that so? And what side would that be, sir?” That last word alone caused his irises to flash just a shade darker, pupils slowly growing, “Careful with your words, princess.” His hands gripping the underside of your thighs, your legs wrapping around his waist. You were feeling confident now, leaning in to whisper in his ear, “I’m always very careful…sir.” He lifted you up then, carrying you from the bathroom to his bed, making promises to show you a different side of him that he said was also just for you.

Hey, hello! I have one tiny request, hehe. In this request will be Jack, Sebek, Trey, Floyd, Jade. They will react to their partner who's shorter than Riddle but has enough physical powers to lift them. How is that sound? I edited my request so I hope you don't mind if I'll put it into your request box:)
Boyfriend who is small but strong
Let’s goooooooooooo strong but short squad for the win!!!!
{not proof-read}
==================================
♣️🐺🦈🐬⚡️♣️🐺🦈🐬⚡️♣️🐺🦈🐬⚡️♣️🐺🦈🐬⚡️
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Trey always thought that his boyfriend, with how cute and petite he was, was a bit on the meek side. Of course, he never thought less of you because of that
Trey always looked after you. He made sure you ate well, didn’t overwork yourself, and stayed clear of trouble. Of course, he couldn’t always be there for you
And today only proved that fact. He didn’t think you’d get picked on and was more than ready to teach a few out-of-line students a lesson…until he saw you absolutely deck them
From then on, Trey made it a point for you to show off how strong you were. Lifting heavy things around the dorm with ease, showing off your muscles, and even asking you to pick him up if you could (you can)
Trey loves having your help, especially with jobs he couldn’t normally do on his own. He likes that you help carry crates of strawberries he makes or help set up unbirthday parties in your free time
Honestly, Trey probably loves you even more now because he now knows something that many other probably don’t. He’d be a liar if he didn’t think you being strong was hot
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Jack has always been surrounded by people that are much smaller and weaker than him. His boyfriend is no different but he never thought any less of you because of it
Jack always prioritized your safety which usually led to him staying close to you often. He was often teased for being your bodyguard instead of your boyfriend but it didn’t matter much to him
But the one day he wasn’t with you, he heard that you were getting picked on. He immediately rushed to your general direction and was ready to defend you…until he showed up and saw you effortlessly deck them
Honestly, wolf boy is a bit jealous of your strength but nonetheless admires it. Seeing you effortlessly lift up things and people and easily outperforming other students in competitions…oh great seven—
While he could easily do strong tasks by himself, having you accompany and help him makes them easier. Power couple, honestly
Jack learning that you were actually super strong really changed his perception of you, but not his love for you. You’re still his cute & small boyfriend and that’s not changing
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Floyd loves you. Plain and simple. You were so small and meek compared to him but you had confidence of a shark. He’d be a liar if he didn’t say he fell first and fell harder
Of course with you being so small, Floyd had an innate desire to protect you from harm. He was more than happy to spend his days with you while also making sure you stayed away from trouble
But it just had to be an off day for him. Azul just had to make him work. Jade just had to get on his back. When he received word that you were getting picked on, his off day turned into a horrible day. As he rushed off to your location, ready to end this day before crashing away with you, he saw you standing over the unconscious bodies of your bullies
I cannot tell you how this man’s face lit up. You should’ve told him how strong you were! Were you always this strong? Why would you keep this from him?! His day went from being off to horrible to amazing in a few moments
He loves watching do heavy work. He could easily do it as well, but there’s something so hot about watching his small boyfriend lift things twice your size. You make his work days so much more fun
Floyd didn’t love you any more or less after he found out about your secret strength. You’re his boyfriend through and through and nothing’s changing that, no matter what
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Jade is a simple man who likes simple things, with his boyfriend being one of them. Even though you’re significantly shorter than him, your gusto and strong beliefs are what he finds most interesting
However, because of your small size, Jade is concerned that you’ll get hurt so he always makes sure that he’s close or around you in some capacity
But the one day that Azul needed him most was the day that you got picked on. As soon as he heard, he dropped whatever he was doing, rushing over to you. He thought of the many ways he could torture those who hurt you…but when he arrived, you had already done so for him
From then on, Jade never worried about your safety or capability in certain tasks. He knew that you were able to take care of yourself and even enjoyed watching you show off your strength
On that topic, he enjoys your help with the more physically grueling tasks. He could do them himself, but he enjoys having your help. It gives him an excuse to be with you and take just a little bit longer in his tasks
While Jade is happy to have this knowledge about you, his feelings towards you hadn’t changed in the slightest. He loves you so much, no matter how strong you really are
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Although he would never say it outright, Sebek truly believed that his boyfriend couldn’t defend themselves. Of course he loves you with everything he has, but your short statue doesn’t really reassure him about your safety
He was adamant about teaching you defense methods so that you can protect yourself. He knows he can’t be around you all the time, what with his duty to protect Malleus, but he still worries for your safety
When Lilia had forcefully released him of his duties, Sebek immediately went to search for you. He didn’t expect to hear that you were getting picked on. He sprinted over to you, ready to teach those lousy students a lesson…but then you literally one punch man-ed them
Sebek is a mixture of things. He’s shocked, confused, angry, and relieved. Why didn’t you tell him about this massive strength you had?! He could’ve worried less about you and focused more on his duties. Well, at least you’re okay
From then on, he starts to worry about you less as he now knows that you can handle yourself with ease. Watching you test the limits of your strength, whether accidental or purposeful, always seems to motivate him to do better. For his home, his master, and for you
He’s honestly relieved that you know how to handle yourself and while it’s changed his perception of you, it hangs changed his opinion of his feelings. You’re still near and dear to him, no matter how strong or weak you are

Joel carefully parked his truck and quietly crossed the street to your house. The old wood door that led to your backyard was open. He walked through the thin trail, and finally, he spotted you.
He never understood why you hung clothes weirdly—tying a rope from a tree to your fence. And when he brought up taking you to buy a dryer, you said it was a waste of money. Plus, all your family did it that way. Nonetheless, Joel thought it was cute. A natural way to do it, and it is always a pleasure to help you do it.
But there you were cross sitting in a floral blanket, folding clothes.
He couldn’t go any far until his foot stepped on a branch. The cracking sound startled you, making you turn in awe.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you,” he said, but you only rolled your eyes and turned to keep folding things.
“Oh, c’mon. I’m sorry, baby. How often do I have to say it?” you grunted in annoyance. “I don’t know. I’m still very mad….” Joel sighed, cleaning his forehead from the accumulated sweat. Somehow it felt like the worst summer in Texas.
“I swear I wasn’t flirting with that woman. And I’m sorry I didn’t react on time to defend you when she said you looked like a kid” that boiled your blood. Yes, you were wearing a winx club top, So? If you were in a bar because you were old enough to be there, regardless of how much you would wait every Thursday for a new episode and see Bloom, Flora, or Techna in action.
“I know. But I’m still angry….” Joel takes a seat in front of you, also seat crossing. You hand him one of Sarah’s tees, and he accepts it. You fold some of Joel’s pajamas and some baby onesies. It’s a mature silence, where you know he didn’t mean to make you feel less, and he knows you are still mad in general, so he respects it.
“Where’s Eliette?” you point at the little gray monitor beside the pile of folded clothes. Joel leaned to look at his tiny daughter peacefully sleeping in her bassinet inside the house. She had a My Melody plushie on her back, making her company. “Sleeping. You know she ends up sneezing if I keep her with me outside.”
“Yeah, maybe she’s allergic to the sun,” that makes you laugh. Joel smiles at you, and seeing him like that makes you happy. Instantly you forget about last weekend in the bar. A week of rage towards your husband was gone just like that.
“She’s not allergic to the sun, Joel! She’s just a four-month-old baby,” he giggled. Some birds were sneaking in the sound. It was 4:00 pm, and it was super hot outside, 89º. Eliette was better inside the house. When you gave birth to her on April 2004, Joel never thought that from all the possible issues with his second baby, Eliette would be against the sun—sneezing and getting fuzzy, hiding her little face in your neck or his and always demanding a little hat o something to protect her from the solar rays.
“Not too silly this thing after all, huh?” He asked, referring to the baby monitor. To which you nodded. On a quick shopping trip some weeks before Eliette was born. You saw the baby monitor on k-mart, on sale. Sarah said it was perfect, and Joel said it was silly. “For sure. Like every time I have a good idea, you think the opposite. And oh yeah, I’m still mad at you. Bye.”
“Bye?. Oh god… This is like when I blamed you for Sarah’s accident with the hedge shears” you rolled your eyes again. The cringe memory of February 2001 comes off as very chaotic for you.
“You were an asshole, asshole,” you said annoyed. Joel placed his hand on top of yours, making you stop doing the folding.
“I know. It’s been 3 years but… I still feel like an asshole. I’m sorry, baby….” you couldn’t be mad at him for that long. The makeup was super adorable. Enough to make you form a tiny smile.
“Do you remember that day?” he nodded, and you sighed.
“Oh, let’s have a flashback!”
“What?” Joel asked, laughing. You took his hands and closed your eyes. He was trying to remember the memory of his apology.
February 2001– After two weeks of avoiding the Millers, you started to get used to your loner life again. College was annoying as usual, and when you found a cat that was a possible candidate to be your roommate, the ass dumped you for the rich neighbor at the entrance of the street. So there you were, just existing as always. Getting out of Spanish Linguistics 448, you make your way to the back of the campus to wait for the bus. Thursdays weren’t crowded in the school, at least not at 4:30 pm. Tommy had tried to take you to dinner with Sarah, but you declined, saying you had an online meeting, which wasn’t a lie, by the way. The girl also tried to talk to you and make things go as they were. And you weren’t mean to her or anyone, you just wanted to run and hide under a rock every time they appeared near you. And Joel, calling you at least 3 times per week and hoping to get a hi from you when you get home from college. He pushed you away and now he wanted you back. He was only confusing you so much. Hearing all your classmates having plans for Valentine’s Day next week made you feel pathetic. At least you would spend the day trying to make heart shaped raviolis and a good truffle sauce. The sun hits directly into your face when you make it outside, and there are some stairs you have to take to get to the bus stop.
Only that you spot Joel Miller is standing there with his arms crossed as he sends disgusted looks towards a group of girls screaming and laughing for something.
“What are you doing here?” You ask when you get closer because it would’ve been impossible to avoid him.
“I’m taking you out” you frown, confused and surprised. You could feel the panic assaulting you.
“What? No…, I have… things to do,” Joel giggled. He shouldn’t be laughing. He should be serious.
“Please, we’ll go to get some takeout food and then… to your house. Okay?” you huffed. Shrugging…
“Only because you made me lose my bus parade, dick” you didn’t question him after seeing him simile again. He only escorted you to his truck. Once he got onto the freeway, he started talking.
“Okay. First of all, I’m sorry…” immaturely, you turned up the radio's volume. Some Linkin Park song taking over the noise.
“No, no music to make me stop my apology,” he said, turning off the radio. You opted to turn your head over the window, ignoring his constant eyes on you.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said all those things. I was mad because I didn’t know what was happening, so I blamed you. You know it was a lie, I know you love Sarah” that was right. It was obvious he knew how much you cared for his daughter. Even when he called, and the accident happened, you knew he was in panic. Still, he said you were a kid and pathetic being a scared loner.
“You’re far beyond amazing. I was jealous of my family spending lots of time with you, then I was trying to push back my feelings because you were so pretty and interesting, but you were my daughter’s friend, you know?” Joel’s anxiety increases once he sees you are still looking at the window. He drives at average speed, at least.
“Yeah, cool. But I’m still an immature girl who likes to wear girl tees and is afraid of dying alone,” he sighs. He almost forgot about that part; he didn’t improvise for that.
“No. You just had a lovely childhood, you kept that spark, and that’s what I need. I don’t know how I could say that. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have my family. I have that spark from Sarah, but it’s not the same. I need a partner. I can’t forget how to love….” you are shocked. You never heard Joel being so emotional before. It’s almost disturbing. You finally turn to look at him, confused. Now he was parked outside of your favorite sushi place. You took him there a month ago, the second and most funny date you ever had. Now, circumstances were different.
“I know you need time. I embarrassed you, and I’m sorry. I hate myself for ruining what Sarah and you had. The domesticity I had with you. Fuck, I miss you so much. We all do it in the house. I’m truly sorry, y/n” it’s time to be an adult and accept his apology. You missed Sarah, Tommy, but mostly him. Joel has settled in your heart already.
“I, I-, I forgive you, Joel. But… uh… I don’t know what to say… I’m,” you babbled while looking at your shaking hands. You were nervous, sweating through your palms. But instantly, Joel captured your hands, giving you a sweet smile.
“How about we take it slow? I’ll order food, we wait, I'll give you a surprise. Then we can talk more at your house. Sounds good?” he saw you nodding for some seconds, before you basically jumped to hug him very tightly. “There’s a surprise?”
“Yes…I was scared because if you said no, I was going to get anxious,” you frown, chuckling at the handsome man in front of you. No matter how many age lines, grays and patchy beard he had, he was your baby, as pathetic as it sounds.
“I-…” you stopped before you could continue, scared to ruin everything. But he wrapped you in his strong arms. Kissing your hair. “It’s okay… say it, I feel the same way too.”
“I love you, Joel…” he was nodding, accepting the love. So he kissed you like your confession was all he needed to smash his lips on yours. He always grabbed your chin with his right hand while holding your neck with the other. His facial hair always tickled you, causing a giggle in the middle of the kiss. It was him. It was him…
“Yeah. Me too, baby,” he said as he took some breaths before leaning in to kiss you again. This time, with more passion. Like all the times in your house when it was about to turn steamy but never got consummated.
His skilled hands placed you on his lap, in the driver's seat. Then his lips traveled to your chin. You knew it was over.
“Joel…” like some horny teenagers, both of you forgot that you were in a car outside a sushi bar. Because he was moving his hands from your neck to your spread legs, and you were teasing him from his neck to the end of his shirt. It was over when his lips and teeth attacked your neck. Automatically, the first high moan came out of your mouth, an unintentional rub from your heat with his crotch. “God…”
“Should we order food or just take me home and finally fuck me?” he smirked, holding your hips to rub you against his hard cock just like he wanted. Your growing moans exciting him.
“The surprise first. I got you….” he moved to take something from the backseat. He opened a little plastic bag and you were still confused. “Tickets for Britney…”
“Holy shit. No fucking way…Joel!” You yelped and instantly kissed him again. Dream Within a Dream Tour tickets. Joel got you access to see Britney Spears! What the fuck?
“I thought we said we’ll take it slow?” Swaying your hair, you rolled your eyes. He looked adorable under you, but you just wanted to be ruined under him.
“Shut up and thank that I forgave you….” After another make-out session with more rubbing and teasing, he finally stopped.
“Yes, ma’am…”
-
“Okay, maybe we should stop the memory there…” you said, opening your eyes. Both of you were laughing.
“No, maybe we should replay the next part of the memory now…” he said, looking over the baby monitor. Eliette was still sleeping.
“What? Here?. Joel, are you crazy?” you were wearing one of his favorite sundresses. Yellow with pink and blue flowers imprinted, with the gold chain he gave you as a present from your graduation.
“So? I lock the door. Everyone is working, Sarah is still in school. And our nosy neighbors are away. C’mon, it’ll be fun….” He said, leaning, ending up on his knees. He kissed you. You dropped the clothing in your hands and just accepted the kiss. Your hands find his soft hairs, earning an early moan from him.
“Lie on the blanket, baby. And keep the dress….” you obeyed, holding from your elbows and spreading your legs open for him. The edges of the dress going up, showing him your lack of panties.
“No panties? Thrifty and naughty….” you laughed hard. “Laundry is exhausting…”
But soon, you were moaning because, with his fingers, he only spread your wetness over your folds two times before getting his cock out and sliding in you.
“Ohh, fuck. Joel!…” you looked beautiful. Just one more thing, he pushed aside one of the dress’s straps, taking one of your breasts out—red cheeks due to the hot weather, sweat on your chest and forehead, hairs sticking there.
“Fu-fuck, How are you so damn wet?” The squelching sound was embarrassing, even though you knew nobody could hear you. After some seconds, you just let the waves of pleasure take you. Moaning your husband's name, you can feel the heat growing; the climax was coming.
“More, Joel, please. Faster!” with the mix of his tip hitting some wall inside you and the pain of his shaft stretching you with every thrust, you were in heaven.
“Aw, You want more, baby? I’ll give you more…” with the sudden movements, you remember you’re still breastfeeding. You don’t want to spill everything. You just made a significant effort trying to stop drenching your shirts and dresses.
“Joel, fu-ck. Wait, I can’t spill more milk again” he didn’t stop, of course. The fucker got the balls to hold his body with one hand and pinch your nipple with the other. Earning one of your most erotic moans and ruining your work on your aching breasts.
“Joel!” You moaned half horny and half angry. But it didn’t matter because it made you reach your orgasm faster.
“Sorry, darlin’. But I’m going to fill you up while you drench this dress” Joel always put you first, and sex wasn’t the exception. He was nasty and a perv most of the time, but your pleasure was above him. However, he was fucking you so good. Actually one of the best fucks since Eliette was born. It was in the middle of your backyard on a hot evening after a silly fight. “Fuck, I’m close….”
“Cum inside me. Cum inside me, Joel” you say as your finger finds your clit, and after two or three rubs, your head is thrown back, legs opening wider as possible, and begging your husband for more. Feeling your walls clench, he spilled his hot and silky load inside you. After some heavy breaths, both of you end up smiling and giggling.
“That was fun….” you said throwing on the blanket, with your forearm on your face. Joel copied you but placed an arm over your stomach.
“I’ll help you with the milk storage. I’m sorry, I just…” his silence is funny to you. “You just were too horny to keep your hands off my tits?”
“Yeah…I love you” the sound of Eliette waking up startled you. Seating up, you handed the monitor to Joel.
“I love you too. But our bean needs us, just in time…” he nodded, putting his pants in place and taking the piles of folded clothes inside. Instantly the sound of Eliette crying welcomed you two.
“Oh no, don’t cry, baby. Daddy’s going to get you….” you coo, entering the nursery room. Joel follows you and walks past you to grab his daughter.
Eliette pops with a fuzzy face and tears rolling over her chubby cheeks. She has a head with patches of hair just like her father’s beard. You smile at her, and she finally stops crying, only to greet your smile with some adorable twinkle.
“You just wanted to be held up and see your momma, right?” Joel asks her, causing Eliette to shake in his arms and give his parents a giant smile. “She looks adorable in this thing….”
“Joel, you also said it was silly,” he laughs. It was a green Carter’s onesie with straps and a flower embroidered in the middle. But the cutest part was a thin layer of pink organza fabric that made the onesie look like a princess dress.
“From now on, don’t listen to me. Just for these things. I’m a jerk….” you kiss his cheek and then Eliette’s. She tries to kiss you with her forehead, which melts your heart.
“You’re lucky that your apology was beyond adorable. Otherwise I wouldn’t have accepted your marriage proposal….” you stated. And Joel huffed annoyed.
“Yeah. And you wouldn’t ever let me fuck you and make you a child two years later” his comments makes you blush so hard that your hand flies and snaps on his forearm.
“Hey!. Mind your words, Mr.Miller. But you’re mistaken. Eliette was conceived last July, remember?” Joel nodded, happily accepting the memory. You set a bet claiming that Britney Spears would release a single before his birthday in September 2003. So when Toxic was released, Joel had to take you on a little trip to New Orleans, and on one of those nights, Eliette was conceived.
“You have a grumpy dad and a sunshine mom, El…” he said to the baby. Then the sound of the door opening interrupted your little bonding moment.
“I’m home!” Sarah yelled from the living room.
“Oh, your sister’s here, Eliette,” Joel said, and you decided to go to greet her. In the living room, Sarah gave you a little hug, and you asked about school.
“It was amazing. You are going to see me play next Friday?” You nod excitedly. Helping her with some books. Sarah was a good soccer player, always arriving home with dirty shirts and shorts.
“We’ll be in the front row….” Sarah’s pretty smile lights you up. And before you could add more. Joel loudly grunted.
“Eliette shit on herself!. Sarah, change her!” The girl rolls her eyes, but you enter in panic.
“Joel, the dress! Save the fucking dress!” You yell, running towards the nursery. Tommy suddenly opened the door of your house.
“What’s goin’ on?” He asks his nephew. Sarah shrugs, chuckling.
“Eliette pooped herself….” Tommy starts laughing. From the kitchen they could hear Joel saying, I’m holding her, y/n. And you yelling to take the dress off so it wouldn’t get ruined.
“I love them” Sarah says laughing, going to the radio in the kitchen to play some music. You had your personal favorite radio station, Las de la Intuición playing in the background of your messy house.
“Me too, they’re funny,” Tommy adds, taking off his work boots. Seconds later, you appear at the kitchen door with Eliette smiling and her Carter’s dress intact. Sarah runs to hold her and kiss her cheeks.
“All yours. Just remind me when it’s bath time” Sarah nodded. She loved her sister. It surprised you how much time she wanted to spend with the baby. Even Tommy spends most of his nights watching tv with the baby on his chest.
“I’m going to take a shower….” But the most important moments were the nights when Joel would sit with you until Eliette finished eating, then he would burp her and put her down to sleep.
“I need to shower too…” Joel said invading your room. In the end, it worked out, keeping two houses. Joel was in your house most of the time, but once in a while, he stayed in his room because he was too tired to cross the street.
“Yeah, you need it more than me,” you say, cleaning your vanity. Your Paris Hilton perfume and Polly Pocket pool playset are carefully positioned in one edge of the available space. Joel sighed looking at all the shit you collected. Bunch of posters on your wall. Care Bears were decorating the top of your mirror. Even my littlest pet shops were on top of your kitchen counter looking at him every morning while making breakfast.
“I can’t believe I live here,” he said negatively looking at the pucca switch you had for the lights.
“You have your own house…” his hands end up in your waist, hugging you from behind.
“But here is my baby. And my wife and my first baby are always here too. All my girls live in this house” Sarah decided to baptize your house as the Barbie house, or Dreamhouse. It was very fitting, your house was every girl's and woman's dream.
“Then shush…” you say, leaving a wet kiss on his lips. “Oh, I love you, old man.”
“Old man?. I’m 36 still, shut up,” With that, he kissed you again. You were leading the way inside your bathroom where your Bratz shower curtain would judge your sinful actions.
It’s dark. But there’s a little light illuminating the whole dusty room.
“Nice dream?” Joel and Ellie are looking at you. You feel like you could cry, but you simply nod, smiling emotionally.
“Yeah…” you answer Ellie’s question. Both want to ask more.
“You were smiling a lot…” the girl says, looking at how you stretch. You stand only to sit beside Joel, hugging his arm as you smile at Ellie. Happiness was all you could feel. You would have that someday…someday.
“It was the most beautiful dream I ever had…” maybe you would tell them separately.
Maybe, in another life…

Love the designs and descriptions you did for the straw hats!! I do want to ask, since they all have different roles and skills do they meet the crew at different points in the story? Like, since Robin is the shipwright would she have met the crew at Water 7 or would it still be Alabasta but under different circumstances? Since she’s not an archeologist she wouldn’t have been raised on O’Hara, right?
Just curious to see what your thoughts are😊 - thanks.
thank you so much for the ask!! sorry this took so long to answer it took awhile to gather my ideas. i’m so happy with how well this au thing was received ;u; TY to people who left tags and replies!! i read everything 🫶
here is the original post for role swap! this post has explanations for backstories! i really did try to have drawings to go with everything but i burned out as this month went on so not every character has doodles :(
—
i kept everything mostly the same in terms of when the strawhats meet each person. i didn’t want to change too much to avoid changing important character moments that happen in canon
this isn’t a super heavy rewrite, there’s a lot of backstory to juggle and i’m not equipped to write such an in-depth au rn 😭 but i might make separate posts for arcs like water 7 or wci!! though i kept a lot of backstory the same theres a lot of rewrite potential for those sagas
i hope these are fun to read about nonetheless ^_^ i included some stuff from @flute-of-pan pan and @onethousandsunnies because they left tags on the original post that were cool ideas
nami, vice capt.
not much changes!! instead of forcing her to chart maps, arlong might just have her around as a servant girl. regardless, the deal to buy back cocoyashi village still stands and nami works hard for it
generally i think her selflessness and loyalty to her village makes her fit to be a vice captain. she looks out for people at her own detriment and was willing to take the fall for such much ahhh
in my opinion she’s good vice captain material!! perhaps a cowardly one but still reliable. also a good treasurer for the crew as always
zoro, cook
zoro grew up training to be a swordsman and competes against kuina, but he also has a knack for cooking as a hobby. he’s mostly the same but sanji’s “stuck on a rock in the middle of the ocean with zeff” happens to him instead (flute-of-pan suggested the cook always suffers the fate of starvation)
kuina decides to run away and zoro is roped into her plans. it goes wrong and they get stranded on a rock, eventually arguing and ending up on opposite sides of the rock with the little food they brought
zoro finds out kuina gave him everything they had soon after she stops replying to him. he’s rescued thanks to kuina’s dad, who tracked them down with vivre cards. kuina’s had long since burned up
similar to canon, zoro continues striving to become the world’s strongest after her death. i think this backstory coupled with him eating those stomped riceballs at the very beginning of the story is so….(GESTURE) it’s very reminiscent of sanji’s no-waste-policy which he would absolutely also have
sanji, sniper
germa 66 has a mafia aesthetic now 👍i only have the willpower to draw reiju here she ended up kind of cluttered but i like my vision
sanji’s backstory is mostly the same: he and his siblings are genetically modified to be the perfect soldiers, but he had a kind nature that made him the target of abuse. after reiju helps him escape, he ends up with zeff and worked as a janitor. zeff loses his leg while trying to save sanji in a maritime accident; though they don’t get stranded anywhere, sanji has to be indebted to him somehow
when the baratie is opened, he works as a busser/guard against unruly guests. flute-of-pan mentioned that he could fire the canons of the ship
when the strawhats meet him on the baratie, sanji still gives don krieg’s crew food. i don’t think his kindness around that would disappear just bc he doesn’t have a whole starving incident
usopp, navigator
on top of bluffing about being the leader of a huge pirate army, he would create fake maps and brag to everyone in syrup village (especially kaya) about these places he so evidently visited. kaya loved his drawings even if the places weren’t real
his dream is to create a Real map of the whole world, not a fake map that he makes up out of stories. drafting the real world makes him a brave explorer of the seas, which he also wants to become :)
when the strawhats meet him, they were basically relying on nami’s limited sailing skills to get around. not only do they get the going merry but they have a real, reliable navigator now! AND he’s multitalented B)
chopper, helmsman
from a young age he set his sights on sailing the seas to escape from the isolation he faced on drum island. he would routinely make little boats for himself to escape the island on, failing each time, and hiriluk would always nurse him back to health
instead of studying to be a doctor, chopper has a general desire to be helpful and acted as an assistant to hiriluk’s medical endeavors
both flute-of-pan and onethousandsunnies pitched that chopper studied stuff like ocean currents!! overall he studied the ocean real hard but would never leave the island without hiriluk
hiriluk’s death would glue him to doctor kureha’s side and it isn’t until the strawhats come that he has the courage to embark on a new journey
franky, muscian
bro grew up running around water 7 trying to get people to join his band. tom and iceberg are still his family. his shipbuilding skills don’t go past an amateur level in this au. he would develop a line of dinky guitars (or instruments in general) that also had lasers/canons/confetti in them. his dream is A FRANKY WORLD TOUR 🤞FREE ADMISSION
many of his weaponized instruments littered the shipyard, spandam uses them in his attack
after the whole tom/spandam situation unfolds, iceberg is the one to find and reconstruct franky into a cyborg after getting run over by the sea train. but he won’t implement piano key abs no matter how much franky asks 🙄
the newly formed franky family protect the city and throw unsolicited concerts in the middle of the street B)
robin, shipwright
though she’s not an archeologist, she still grew up on ohara! instead of archeology, she’s a gifted engineer. her devil fruit made her an outcast and her strange, misunderstood inventions did not help her case
when jaguar d saul gets stranded on ohara, robin constructs the raft for him :) the buster call unfolds the same as canon except this time, everyone’s actually not lying when they say robin can’t read poneglyphs! she never learned!! again flute-of-pan had the cool idea that she is wrongly accused. still, she’s pursued and branded as a devil child
she ends up with crocodile, who believes she can read poneglyphs. she takes advantage of this and earns his protection from the government but her ruse is uncovered when she lies to croc about what alabasta’s poneglyph says (girl cannot read that!)
robin dreams of creating a ship that can carry her and the friends she wishes to have. after meeting robin in alabasta she joins the strawhats!!
brook, doctor
he was the doctor of the rumbar pirates. an injured laboon came to like brook after he nursed him back to health!! when yorki became sick from disease brook tried his hardest to cure him, but failed :(
he was doomed to watch his crewmates die to poison that he cannot hope to cure because he himself was also dying. when he came back thru his fruit it was already too late :( the rumbar pirates Do record a song for laboon though this event cannot be edited 🤞
met in thriller bark; ik that’s a long ass time to go without a real doctor on board
by the time they meet brook everyone’s already so battered that he has to go to town on them with gauze and stitches. the company delights him ^_^
jinbei, archeologist
i mentioned this in the first post abt this au but his interest in history sparked thanks to the history of joyboy and fishman island being so intertwined. at some point in his youth, jinbei frequently visited ohara (prior to the buster call) and grew a strong relationship with the scholars there (i’m just assuming they wouldn’t be racists 🤪) he runs into robin a handful of times
he secretly learns how to read poneglyphs here leading up to the buster call. he wasn’t on the island when it happened so he managed to avoid robin’s fate
his story proceeds the same from there with the neptune army, joining fisher tiger, meeting koala, etc…
i enjoy the idea of getting invited to be a warlord by the government while simultaneously being one of the most wanted people in the world for knowing poneglyph secrets
—
also i’m sorry if there are things i forgot about or details that don’t make sense >—>o
the anime’s pacing has ruined my enthusiasm for awhile lol and i’ve consumed a lot of media since catching up!! everyone’s backstories/canon events aren’t too fresh in my memory but i did some researching to remedy it 🫡

Askgame 001: Seija/Shinmyoumaru
When I started shipping it if I did: Right when the full version of DDC came out, so... more than 10 years ago... It's hard to believe it's been a full decade LOL
My thoughts: They've been my favorite touhou pairing ever since then so I have a lot of thoughts, but in general I think they're one of the most interesting relationships in the series (and ZUN's favorite in DDC apparently >:3), whether it's interpreted as romantic or not. That being said, there's clearly some kind of affection or attachment in canon given how much they've interacted and how they stuck together in the end despite how things started, and that makes me really happy. I love the push and pull, the "we're partners in crime and then I turn on you and then we're together again etc" of it all... It's just really really good.
The other day I was talking with a friend about the amount of canon content they got for a duo that isn't made of main or recurring characters, and it's actually... a lot... A lot more than I would've believed 10 years ago at least!!
Things done in fanworks that annoy me: I'm not super vocal about it because I did it too back in the day, when there wasn't much to work with besides DDC's basic plot, but with everything we got now I have a hard time enjoying works where Shinmyoumaru's just a poor victim of Seija's lies and nothing else. Or the other way around where there wasn't any conflict and manipulation at all, although that's much more rare lol (but I've seen it)...
Things I look for in fanworks: The main appeal to me nowadays is how they change one another in a way that just wouldn't happen in their interactions with other characters, so I'm very fond of works where her meeting with Seija allowed Shinmyoumaru to finally know freedom, or how Seija somehow both mellows and gets worse when Shinmyoumaru's around, etc. Something else I love to see is pre-DDC works where Shinmyoumaru is aware of Seija's lies but rolls with it anyway. I think it goes well with the previous thing of Shinmyoumaru finally getting to live the life she wanted; she gains something from being a pawn anyway, so why would she care?
Also I am a very simple person and seeing Shinmyoumaru sitting on Seija's shoulder or Seija holding her in her hands (and being gentle as she does so, unconsciously) is always the best to me and I hope people continue drawing/writing that. I eat it up
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Realistically, no one lol. I love what happens when you add Reimu to the equation (and Marisa for even more of a mess), and Reimu/Seija is by far my favorite rarepair, but I don't think any of it would work the way seishin could work (with all its ups and downs, but work nonetheless)...
My prefered future/ending for them: I think they should stay the way they are forever :] I'm serious I think it's already perfect the way it is, with the push and pull and sometimes they fall down and they get back together and they annoy everyone in the process etc. I do think Seija's gonna outlive Shinmyoumaru eventually but that part isn't something I enjoy thinking about, as opposed to other pairs where it's a big aspect of it.
What is their favorite activity together: Going places they haven't seen before (mostly for Shinmyoumaru, I think Seija's been around long enough to know most of Gensokyo), and just moving outdoors in general. There's no way either of them can sit still inside for a while without going nuts. And there's more people to bother outside anyway!! I love pictures of Shinmyoumaru exploring nature and I think Seija who spends most of her time outdoors anyway would appreciate the company, regardless of what she says about it.

Seokjin: the haunted amusement park
I can picture you and Seokjin going to haunted amusement park. An amusement park just fits Jin’s vibes so much. It may be a busier attraction, but its scary nonetheless.
I feel like Seokjin would be super confident going in, you know, cracking jokes “oh, this isn’t going to be that bad. Psh.”
“I’ll be the one scaring the ghosts.” Idk something silly like that and he’d be too nonchalant about it
However, once you guys rolled up to the place, his ego started to crack a little, but just a little. He was still trying to make jokes to according to him, “help you feel less scared” (but we all know it was really a defense mechanism for himself, c’mon now)
I think you would be fine leading up to the park, not overly confident like Jin, but also not already peeing your pants, yk
Once you guys got in line, you started to get excited, exclaiming things like “oh my gosh I can’t believe we’re almost at the front of the line!” or, you’d tug on his sleeve and say “babe, look at the people that just came out. They look so scared.” And he would glance over your head to where you’re pointing to and visibly gulp
Once you guys were actually in the park, you both would tightly hold on to each other’s hands and you’d both be screamers for sure. You guys might even be the loudest group in the attraction
Just picture Jin’s classic scream (which also was heard whenever you guys took breaks and rode the roller coasters)
Seokjin would also flinch and exclaim in his typical way whenever there was a jump scare. But he’d also shield you (whether intentionally or not) from whoever or whatever popped out of the nowhere, by moving in front of you to block you from whatever monster was there. He’d also pull you closer to him whenever he felt you guy got separated too much
Let’s just say that by the end of the haunt, you both were starving for something warm and delicious to eat
And when you’re both sitting down for your warm meal, Jin boasts, “That wasn’t even that bad; we should find a more horrifying place next year.”
You look up, just give him a blank stare and mumble, “uh huh.” (Obviously thinking bs) and go back to eating
Yoongi: the insane asylum
Stereotypical or not, picture run bts ep 24 Yoongi aka the Yoongi that is about to throw hands with a zombie
Once you expressed to your boyfriend that you really wanted to go to a haunted house this October, Yoongi immediately started looking at different attractions, determined to find the most terrifying one (which turned out to be a haunted insane asylum)
You and Yoongi would prefer a less popular attraction, but still rated hella creepy (even though you both are low key scaredy-cats)
And once you guys found one, you were off, ready to be frightened
Both of you would be fine waiting in line, you know, pretty chill, just talking as you usually do. I picture Yoongi not really thinking too much about what’s gonna happen in the haunted house, and I also don’t see him being over confident in his ability to not get scared lol, like I think he’s ready to properly be scared shitless
But, if you started to get nervous or something, Yoongi would just wrap an arm around your shoulders and pull you into his side and draw circles on your shoulder or arm. He’d also give you the occasional forehead kiss, in which you would turn to him and peck his lips once, twice, maybe three times
However, once you guys got in the haunted house, it was all downhill from there
You both started holding hands, but somehow you got separated in the first room when fog came seeping out of the wall, and there was a purple glow in the room that made it even harder to see
You may have tripped over an arm or something trying to find your way back to Yoongi
Once you both realized you got disconnected, you guys panicked
Yoongi was in front of you, but it took you a little bit, arms sticking out in front of you and calling for him to reunite
After that fiasco, you stayed behind Yoongi, hands on each shoulder of his, using him as a guide but also a human shield incase a monster popped out to get you (thanks a lot- Yoongi)
Yoongi didn’t appreciate going first, so this resulted in lots of screaming on his end
And the jump scares got you both pretty bad too, which usually resulted in Yoongi cursing and you gripping his shoulders even tighter
Let’s just say that you both were so relieved to finally make it through the house, with only minimal damage made. After you got home, you put on AHS Asylum to finish off the night
Hoseok: the classic, haunted house of horrors
Ah man, Hobi (I love the man) would be the worst to go to a haunted house with. Hear me out before you come at me!!!!
I can picture you bringing it up to him one day, you love Halloween after all and he knows this. So, he was already anticipating you bringing something like this up to him (although each year he secretly hopes you forget to lol)
You tell him about this amazing haunted house you found on the internet that has great reviews, yada, yada, yada and all he’s thinking is “how can a haunted house be ‘amazing’?”
He tries not to show it, but you saw his face fall gradually the longer you explained what the attraction was, and why you wanted to go
he’s a little hesitant, but agrees nevertheless bc he loves you and who can say no to you, right?
He doesn’t hide his apprehension though; he wears it loud and proud
Yeah, Hoseok likes to dress up and go to festive parties, but the creepy, eerie, gory aspect of the holiday? No thank you. That’s more of a you thing
Anyways, the whole time you guys are waiting to go through the place, both of you are nervous and trying to distract each other from your impending doom. (Even though you love love love Halloween, you still sometimes get a littler nervous for haunted houses)
Hoseok is definitely more scared than you though (but you’re almost equally as terrified)
The first step through the door, Hoseok is already screaming about something and it’s like that the whole way through
He even ends up scaring you by accident, in which you yell at him and slap his shoulder and tell him to “get a grip”
I can also see Hoseok accidentally tripping, slapping, or smacking into you because he’s just so startled, like it’s bad and at this point you just want it to be done lol (but you still love your boyfriend dearly)
But of course, if he does that, he apologizes profusely once you guys are back on solid ground and away from the horror house and wraps you in a tight hug and leaves kisses in your hair
You just giggle into his chest, and bring your hands up to rub up and down his back, hoping to calm him down a little (it works, he feels much better now)
Obviously, it’s not that big of a deal to you, and you just laugh about it, and continue too poke fun at him on the car ride home, while he pouts in the passenger seat (because you didn’t trust for him to drive you guys back in one piece) any other night sure, he’s a great driver, but not tonight
You guys stop at your favorite place to eat, and when you get home you crack open a bottle of wine, and have a cozy night in, trying to relax after the stressful night you two (mainly Hobi) had and you do all the things he wants to do. Which ends up being face masks and a hot bath
Namjoon: The haunted ghost tour
With Namjoon, instead of going to a haunted house, I feel like you guys would go on a haunted ghost tour or something, and it would still be very creepy and would leave you both with a chill up your spine
You both are obsessed with ghost documentaries, unsolved cases, shows and movies (even books) like that where there is no clear explanation to what actually happened. That always creeped you out the most, the unknown
For October, Namjoon surprised you with a trip to travel around your country for a few weeks to the spookiest places and stay overnight to see if you would experience anything out of the ordinary
Think of it as a haunted ghost tour trip or something like that
The first night, at the first stop on your tour was definitely unnerving. You guys kept hearing weird sounds at night, such as footsteps in the hallway, but they made a dragging kind of sound instead of the regular footsteps you’d hear if a person was walking by. When you both heard this, you and Namjoon looked at each other wide eyed, mouths agape. This was the first ghostly encounter!
But when Namjoon went to peer out the door, he said that “there’s no one in the hallway”
He hurried back to bed, jumped in and tucked you into him, his chin on top of your head and arms wrapped tightly around you. Honestly, you guys probably made out or had sex to distract yourselves lol
Needless to say, you both had a hard time falling asleep that night and Namjoon gave you endless kisses in the morning because he was so thankful you guys made it through the first night
At your second attraction, you could have sworn something was looming over your face while you were sleeping, but of course when you woke up, nothing was there, and you just turned towards Namjoon and cuddled into him, hoping his warmth would scare away your bad dreams
The ghost tour trip turned out to be a success because at each location, at least one eerie thing occurred, that left you and Namjoon both puzzled
It helped having your big, strong boyfriend with you throughout the trip, because when in doubt, you’d just cling onto him if you ever felt frightened
You and Namjoon also took lots of pictures on the trip and much to your horror, some of them depicted apparitions, looming in the background with a faint white glow around them, but you only noticed them when you guys were looking through at pictures after the trip, once you got back home
You probably were scared the most between you two, but Namjoon occasionally would get spooked and, in those cases, would just quietly exclaim, curse, whatever but then go on his day because he’d find some way to rationalize it
By the end of the trip, you guys got your fair share of ghostly sightings and encounters, and were ready to go back to your peaceful apartment
Jimin: the killer clown carnival
I feel like Jimin would be so fun to go to a haunted house or attraction with. He’d be the perfect mix of someone who would get scared but also make the most of it and have such a great time
I can picture you guys going to a haunted fair/carnival so the main theme was a clown circus or something (super creepy I know)
The fair had different rides and games, to entertain you, but the whole time you never knew when a monster would appear out of nowhere and grab you
You and Jimin would have so much fun with this too. Like both of you love Halloween so much, and especially love the horror behind it all. So a carnival with games, rides and food, but also killer clowns? Sounds like a perfect October night
Occasionally, you guys would scream and cling onto each other as another clown slowly approaches you
But then you guys would grasp hands, and run off together in the opposite direction, escaping the bloody clown
Once you guys got far enough away, you guys would be laughing, trying to catch your breath from all the running
Luckily for you guys, you wound up in front of the cotton candy machine. However, this cotton candy was blood red and puke green. It was still a yummy and a sweet treat for you both
You accidentally got some stuck on your lips since you were wearing the prettiest of lip glosses (according to Jimin), so he smiled at you and pointed to his lips saying, “you’ve got something there”
But of course you didn’t get it off, so Jimin leans into you, hand tenderly cupping your jaw, before he covers your lips with his in a saccharine kiss, cleaning you of the sticky candy
It would have been the perfect kiss, if not for the tall clown looming behind Jimin with a wide grin
You pull away from your boyfriend screaming and Jimin turns around suddenly and sees what got you so spooked. You guys are back to running, screaming, and laughing. This time you end up in front of a ride, the Ferris wheel
You guys spend rest of the night wrapped up in each other, enjoying the killer clowns and all they have to offer
Taehyung: the pumpkin patch by day, alien ridden corn maze by night
I think we all know that Taehyung would be the least fazed out of everyone lol, this man has a resting bitch face that would scare the scarers
Alternatively, Taehyung would be the best boyfriend to go to a haunted attraction with, especially if you got scared easily
I picture you and Taehyung going to a haunted corn maze
He’s the epitome of boyfriend material, so I imagine that your day started out at the pumpkin farm where you guys got hot apple cider and delicious food. You guys also toured the pumpkin patch and each picked out a pumpkin to take home and carve
All while Taehyung is being silly and making you laugh. He’d also take endless pictures of your day together; some of the farm and the animals, the pumpkin patch, but his favorite were the candid of you.
Even though you and Taehyung are stylish people, I feel like this day you guys dressed down, (and you also didn’t want to ruin your nice clothes later that night when you went through the corn maze). Taehyung looked as boyfriend as ever in his grey sweats, scarf, and long coat. You sported a similar outfit, always accidentally matching with Tae
And when the sun went down, and the wind started to pick up, you guys maze your way over to the farm’s haunted corn maze, that stretched far out ahead of you
What can you say, you were already anxious and so you quickly grasped onto Taehyung’s bicep, anticipating the daunting maze in front of you
Taehyung was excited though, he loved shit like this and before you guys entered, he really tried his best to make you smile or laugh and he was successful. He pulled a few giggles out of your lips
But that was short-lived because when the worker said that it was your turn next, you froze and your face went blank
Taehyung turned towards you and leaned down to whisper in your ear, “you’ll be fine, jagiya. You’ve got me.” He placed a gentle kiss on your lips, before turning straight ahead, ready to head into the dark. You, not so ready, but clutching onto Taehyung
The maze ends up being confusing, eerie, and dark (just what you anticipated)
and there were bloody scarecrows missing limbs, and 8-foot-tall aliens lurking in the shadows that reached out to grab you with their less than human like fingers. A couple of times they actually touched you, which left you mortified
I can picture taehyung just giving the monster like a death glare of smth because it touched you lol, he wasn’t too pleased (the monster didn’t pass his vibe check)
You might have screamed one or twice (ok more than that), even Taehyung lost his cool guy persona a few times
But whenever something would jump out at you Taehyung was quick to pull you behind him or closer to him
You guys finally made it through (thank god) you both actually had a great time (yes even you)
and for the remainder of the night, Taehyung gave you endless affection in the form of tender touches that melted away your remaining fear
Jungkook: fright night - the forest of fear
Ah Jungkook. This fucker would 100% drag you to a haunted forest attraction of some kind, and the really well rated one too. So basically, you know that it’s going to be super terrifying
It’s the kind where the send you out in groups of 7-9 people where it’s just you and your group, in the middle of a dark, empty forest (well not really empty due to all the monsters and stuff)
He’d be super excited about it too. But you’d also be excited because you love Halloween and all things scary
This attraction would be a bit of a drive away, so you and Jungkook make sure to load the car with all the essential snacks and drinks
Once there, Jungkook would be so eager to go in, bouncing on his heels while waiting in line
Now for the haunt
Picture a dark, endless forest with tall trees. It would also have the vibe of the Blair Witch Project
Once you and your group are let out into the forest, you immediately grab onto Jungkook, and close your eyes. which isn’t the best choice because you end up tripping on tree roots. And it makes Jungkook turn back to you to see what happened
You’d just utter “I’m fine” (not at all embarrassed that you tripped less than 5 minutes in).sooner or later the monsters start appearing. They peer around the trees and once they lay sight on you the start chasing you, but unlike other places, these monsters don’t give up, they just keep on running after you, screaming
Jungkook and you run hand in hand, and you eventually loose your monster. But while you guys are catching your breath, leaning against a tree, another one finds you and Jungkook. However, this one is fixated on you
Jungkook notices this too and before you know it, he sweeps you off your feet and starts sprinting with you in his arms (he wasn’t taking any chances)
You make it to a clearing \, finally away from that one creep, but then some of your other group members slam into you guys. you and Jungkook get separated, and now you’re all alone
This kind of attraction actually makes its participants cry lol and unfortunately, you end up as one of those people; it happened when you lost Jungkook
So now you’re alone, tired, and crying and of course a zombie looking thing is chasing you
you yell out for Jungkook because frankly, you’ve had enough of this stupid forest and you slam into a hard chest
thankfully it was your boyfriend and not a three headed witch and you start crying even harder and you cling onto Jungkook and bury your face into his chest
Jungkook is alarmed that you’re crying this much, but he just rubs your head and coos at you until your breathing calms down and then rubs the wet tears from under your eyes and cradles your face
You blubber to him explaining how you lost him, then another monster started to chase you, and you were tired, soft hiccups escaping your lips, and again, he just coos at you while rubbing your head
He’d then give you the biggest hug, squeezing you to his chest
Once your panic attack is over, you and Jungkook continue on, hand-in-hand and eventually make your way out of the forest (you guys were in there for like 2.5 hours)
Jungkook may have felt a little bad he brought you here, but you reassure him that it was actually a lot of fun, even though it felt so real and scary
He pampers you the rest of the night
He buys your favorite dinner, and once you guys get home, you curl up on the couch, tucked under his arm as you guys have a horror movie marathon (why you decided to prolong your frightful night with an abundance of thriller movies, you don’t know)
But this time, whenever you felt scared, Jungkook made sure to pull you impossibly close to him and never leave your side
---
hope you enjoyed <3

DATING LLOYD GARMADON
firstly, on his end, there’d likely be a huge amount of pining.
if this takes place after the sons of garmadon arc, he’s likely more guarded; resigning himself to stares of yearning and brief but hesitant touches.
or if this is before, then lloyd’s outlook of love is still quite innocent. he’ll fumble over his words and feet when around you, the latter not too often ( thankfully ).
nonetheless, here’s the cute stuff ( ˶ ̇ᵕ ̇˶)!!
it takes a little bit for him to he able to readily give you affection ( his poor heart feels as though its gonna burst out of his chest everytime you touch him! ) so he starts off with “baby steps”, which consists of him holding your pinkie with his and giving you tons of cheek kisses.
oh and hugs. LOTS AND LOTS OF HUGS ( trust me, he needs them </3 )
they’re like one of his favorite forms of affection because he knows the other person is there.
if he’s taller, then he’s leaning down, cheek pressed again the top of your head <3
and if shorter, lloyd’s made himself comfortable within the crook of your neck, murmuring something affectionate.
he’s also pretty huge on compliments, especially when he’s on the receiving end.
“you did so good”
“that’s great, lloyd! i’m proud of you :)”
“you can do it <3”
literally say any of that to him and his heart will expand several more sizes just for you.
nonetheless, he gives out his fair share of sweet words, too!
( “that’s amazing, [name]! you’re amazing” )
he’s really whipped half the time, probably goes on little lovesick rambles everytime someone mentions you or even just the fact that he has an s/o.
“i still can’t believe lloyd’s dating someone before me! lloyd, of all people!” “relocating all capabilities of hearing to my core.” “yeah.. [name] is pretty awesome. the other day theyー”
while the other ninja find it annoying for him to rattle on about you for hours ( like a jay 2.0 ), part of them can’t help but feel happy for him. especially kai and nya; proud big siblings™.
speaking of them, they give the whole “if you hurt him” speech to you.
it’s mainly nya doing all the talking whereas kai’ll be making “i’ve got my eye on you” gestures.
the whole thing is embarrassing for lloyd and he apologizes on the behalf of them.
he truly feels like he can be himself around you; not the green ninja, leader of the team, or anything else. simply just lloyd.
literally has to milk the others for date ideas ー he worries that he’ll take you somewhere cliché.
likely settles for a carnival, first date-wise.
it’s super fun for the two of you and he tries to win you lots of stuff. :(
literally will treasure whatever you give him. not even just from that date, but in general too.
but back to affection between you two
play with his hair !!! it’s his one of his biggest weaknesses
he secretly loves when you let him rest his head on your lap. will not-so-discreetly push his head against your hand.
sometimes he’ll have the confidence to initiate a kiss on the mouth and will peck you on the lips very quickly + softly. apologizes immediately afterwards because he didn’t ask .. HE’LL BE SO RED AFTERWARDS TOO N ITS ADORABLE
the pinkie holding eventually escalates into normal hand holding btw ( please be patient w/ him )
but yeah, that’s how it’ll be like dating lloyd garmadon in a nutshell^^

okay LISTEN…I read SDLN all last week and it has stayed with me so much. i’m SUPER new to the joel miller fandom and it’s the first multi-part fic i’ve read. I have so much to gush about!!
first of all, I usually don’t love accidental pregnancy tropes, they’re just usually not my thing! but the way you used reader’s pregnancy to give the story real and gritty stakes…wow. I was floored at every corner. plus who doesn’t love a softer joel?!
second of all, the way you wrote sarah and joel’s relationship and his grief/love for her? wow. I mean. really! wow!!! the way he sees bits of her in everything that he loves, in everything that is beautiful. it’s so accurate. it’s so painfully delightful to read.
third of all, I feel like you stayed really true to joel’s character. yes he definitely softened by the end of the story, but even in the epilogue—he’s still a grumpy old man!! you don’t have to sacrifice soft!joel for grumpy!joel, the two can coexist and you wrote it beautifully.
i’ve been thinking about this story nonstop. I can’t stop thinking about it. I GUSHED to my boyfriend about it a few nights ago. literally curled up under my heated blanket with some mood lighting and read it like a bedtime story! really, it was the kind of story that I was reading whenever I had any spare moments. at a red light (oops), while washing my face, while waiting in line! it had me HOOOOOOKED.
not only is the story fantastic, but your writing is fantastic. every bit of dialogue? perfect. not too sappy, not too gloomy. the perfect balance of apocalyptic cynicism + blind faith. truly. your syntax, the way you immersed us in the story—it was simply a pleasure to read. wish I could erase it from my brain and read it again for the first time.
hope you’re well!!!! :-)
First of all, I am honored that you chose SDLN to read first? I'm not sure how you stumbled upon it with the endless options available to you, but I am immensely grateful nonetheless -- thank you for taking a chance on it, especially given that you don't normally like that trope. I can't tell you how much it means to me ❤
"the way he sees her in bits of everything that he loves, in everything that is beautiful" -- the way you get it, and put it in such beautiful words yourself. I can't imagine the amount of things in his life that would remind him of her, and it was such a cathartic thing to write him as using those reminders as something that heals, vs. something that haunts.
grumpy old man Joel is my beloved! I do think he is a grump and is hard, but we also see such sweetness in him: in the way his interactions evolve with Ellie, in the way he helps Bill & Frank, in the way he helps in KC, or looks out for Tess, in the way he's looking for his brother just to make sure he's alright -- the two can definitely coexist, and I am so beyond happy that you found that characterization in SDLN.
The way you describe being captivated by a story is the kind of experience a reader literally dreams of, and I am beyond words that something I wrote gifted that you to. Truly, honestly. Hiding under your covers, reading at a red light, telling someone else about it -- I wish you could see the blush on my cheeks right now knowing that you did those things with my words. Literally beyond grateful.
I have read this a couple times since you sent it, and I know I'll read it again. It gave me a dopey smile, the softest eyes and heart, and literally made me want to cry with happiness. You are amazingly thoughtful, kind and generous, and I am so very thankful that the universe brought you here ❤
Lastly, for you to mention those specific things about the writing: syntax, dialogue, etc -- as someone who is working constantly on their writing and also as someone who is always unsure about the quality of it - thank you. Thank you thank you thank you I'll never say thank you enough. ❤
Being super new to the fandom: welcome!! DM me if you wanna chat, clown, want some recs, or anything else - I hope you have fun exploring the treasure chest that is the talent that exists here, and feel the warm embrace of the community that exists here as well! ❤
THANK YOU ❤
#can you tell how grateful I was for this?#and how much I loved it?#and how much it made my day?#I hope so ❤#short days ask

What do you think makes a good pop culture mermaid?
That's a good question. Looking at mythology and folklore, there's kind of a dearth of stories about mermaids themselves, despite how large they loom in illustrations and just general recognition among mythic creatures. More often than not they're just set dressing - a picture on a map full of other sea monsters, and something to warn young sailors of.
The big mermaid story really does seem to be Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid, as it's not only one where a mermaid gets a starring role, but makes mermaids more than just a hazard to be avoided. And Hans's story is just... incredibly tragic, with the mermaid in question being so desperate to be with the human she loves that she gives up everything about herself, only to be rejected and die, albeit with the small consolation of gaining a human soul in the process (as in Hans's take, most mermaids don't have true souls like humans, and become sea foam when they die rather than live on in heaven).
So ok, let's look at the thematic connections between Hans's take and the general folklore of "those pretty fish women will lure you to your doom." Romance, and specifically tragic/doomed romance, is heavily associated with mermaids, as is a certain degree of eroticism. Mermaids and humans are attracted to each other, but that attraction is always undercut by some fairly severe and often insurmountable obstacles. There's a degree of envy built into them, too - human sailors would definitely be jealous of how easily mermaids thrive in the sea while they're getting sunburn and scurvy on the decks of their ships, and mermaids in turn envy humanity's ability to go on the land.
But I also think it doesn't have to be doom and gloom. Just because there are obstacles between mermaids and humans doesn't mean that their desire to know each other has to be destined for failure. There are stories where the two get to meet in the middle, and ones where the transformation of one partner to the other's species ends happily rather than tragic, and I think those can be pretty powerful takes. And, like, there's a great LGBTQ vibe to a successful mermaid/human romance - I think there's a reason Howard Ashman, a closeted gay man, was so drawn to The Little Mermaid when he was working for Disney, and why he ended up not only giving the mermaid a happy ending, but rejuvenating Disney's animation department in the process by telling her story so passionately.
So what makes a good pop culture mermaid? Well, they need to be alluring - not necessarily super sexualized, but attractive nonetheless. And they need to be distinctly non-human - fish-y enough to clearly be Other, and preferably in a way that works with their alluring qualities rather than against, because the whole draw of mermaids as a mythic creature is the fact that they're a sort of forbidden fruit, not made for human consumption yet so attractive we'd crash into the rocks trying to get them anyway. They need to be part fish, but not necessarily solely part fish - you can go for a more general sea monster vibe and still hit the visual marks of a mermaid.
youtube
And while it feels less like a pop culture thing and more just an internet culture thing, I'd kick myself if I didn't include how much I like the relatively recent idea of (at least some) mermaids being fucking gigantic. Mermaids are kin, or at least family friends, to other classic sea monsters like krakens, leviathans, sea serpents, island turtles, and the like, so why shouldn't some of them be gigantic? It even works with the theme of forbidden love that's so core to them -it adds one more physical barrier to consumating that romance. And also it's got great potential for cool and terrifying scenes involving mermaids - giant sea monsters are already scary, but one rising out of the water with a very human face twisted into a purposely malevolent expression as it looks at a ship like a toy in a bathtub? That's creepy, that's got story potential.
and it's hot

Now that you've finished Pokémon Scarlet what are your thoughts on the game? Take your time.
Also I hope you have a lovely new year. =)
Hi there namelessbaron!
Happy New Year! I hope you and everyone else reading has a safe and lovely new year as well
One last ask for 2022. I'm keeping this spoiler free, but I can definitely elaborate in a more spoilery context in future asks if we want to start talking about specific plot beats because I do have a lot of thoughts on those it just would make this ask way too long and exceed the character limit for asks.
Honestly, I liked it. Not my new favorite, I actually still have SwSh as my favorite Switch Pokemon game but it's still good.
I'm not going to go too much into the whole graphics/glitch thing since that has been done to death. I did experience quite a few glitches and they were annoying but didn't make the game unplayable by any means. That being said I do wish TPCi could give more time between games. There is a serious discussion to be had about the crunch Gamefreak is under and how that's not healthy at all. Especially if they want to continue the open-world format.
Okay as for the game itself, the highlight was definitely the freedom you had between traversing Paldea and how you tackled the narrative. It makes for endless storytelling potential on the OC/fanfic/fanart side of things but also gives a lot of replay value as you can switch up how you approach things.
Having multiple stories with their own conclusion coalescing into one final story at the end was a huge step in the right direction and I'd love to see Gamefreak take that further. I will say though SV falls into the same trap that has plagued the series for generations in that it's not always able to properly balance the stories among the major characters. Nemona's story definitely got the short end of the stick compared to Penny and Arven's and so I was definitely not a fan of the Victory Road story. Don't get me wrong, I don't think every story has to be super heavy and I get where they were likely trying to make the Victory Road story a breather compared to some of the stuff we see in The Path of Legends and Starfall Street, but I think they could've made it more meaningful than what we got.
Of the storylines, I think Starfall Street was definitely my favorite as it provided the most challenge gameplay-wise but also I think I just really connected to the characters in that story and I found their struggles extremely relatable. The Path of Legends brought a lot of worldbuilding I enjoyed (and confirmed some of my headcanons as canon) and The Way Home certainly threw some more twists and worldbuilding I was not expecting to see in Pokemon but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
The cast of SV was solid overall with mostly likable characters. I really appreciated the ability to get to know most of the characters on a deeper level through side stories something we haven't seen consistently in previous generations. It was something I was really wishing to see in the SwSh DLC and I'm glad at least the Paldean Cast got it. The main characters of Team Star overall are my faves along with Director Clavell, Ryme, Grusha, Salvatore, and Larry. There are definitely characters I think (or I should say hope) get more exposure in the likely DLC such as Geeta, Nemona, Raifort, and Director Clavell. I will say I'm admittedly very torn on how Koraidon/Miraidon were handled in the story. It's like on the one hand I'm glad they're really experimenting with how the box legendaries are being used, but on the other hand, I'm not sure how I feel about them being used mainly as mounts for the majority of the story.
The region itself was stunning. I haven't gotten a chance to explore every inch just yet and I'll be more thorough on my Cactusverse run but I definitely enjoyed going through the different biomes and seeing the different cities and spending my money at all of the different restaurants. The new Pokemon introduced were like any region, a mixed bag but I definitely think Scarlet won out with the version exclusives with the sole exception Ceruledge.
One of the few true downsides was the character customization. I found it to be a bit of a downgrade compared to previous generations. Mainly because the school uniform really hampers the style potential.
The other major downside for me was the removal of set battle mode. I just felt like that was a rather harmless feature that could've always remained an option and removing it removes some level of freedom for the player.
I mean again overall I think it's a very solid entry into the series and a very solid step in the right direction. It's probably my fifth favorite region.

And so ends another era of Showa Kamen Rider! New Kamen Rider (Skyrider), Super-1 and the ZX special. Technically ZX aired a couple years after Super-1 but ehhhh fuck it I’m counting it. Makes a neat little block that way.
Compared to the Seven Legendary Riders, I’m sad to say it’s been a little disappointing. Oh I’ve had fun, for sure! But all three of these have been shows I’ve been all too happy to slot into the category of “I liked that okay enough”. Everything from the original five shows ended up being a new (or returning) favourite for me, with the exception of X which even still had the sick Apollogeist stuff. I have by now very consistently laid out the formula they had of “Amazing start, big block of bullshit which is nonetheless fun, really comes back around in the last fifth” that all those shows followed -- it’s what allowed the original series and V3 to speak to me so much thematically, it’s what had me loving every minute of Stronger’s style, it’s what made Amazon such an eternal favourite of mine. But unfortunately I just was not captured by the small revival of the franchise that came a year later.
Not to say it was off to a bad start -- I’ve outlined before that Skyrider was off to a FANTASTIC start, actually! Those first 10 episodes were a wonderful, thoughtful reboot of the original show with refined concepts and villains and some beautiful style through the flying. But very slowly it’s a show that gets ship-of-theseus’d into something with a lot more content but a lot less substance with a new supporting cast, a more generic fighting style and a loss of what the series was about at the beginning. Super-1 had an extremely promising first episode but then immediately veered off the deep end with a record pace that Skyrider could never hope to match, and even then still received a retool halfway in that made it even more nuts! And ZX was ZX.
I had fun with all of them, but the point I’m trying to get across here is that they’re not shows I find easy to recommend because they’re the most... Another One Of These when it comes to Showa Rider. I can tell you so many different things about V3, X, Amazon and Stronger that makes them worth watching; but when it comes to Skyrider and Super-1 I cannot tell you with a straight face that you should watch these shows unless you are that interested in seeing every Kamen Rider like I am or you love Showa Bullshit just that much. There’s fun to be had with them, but I just don’t think they’ll end up sticking with me as much as the seven did.
So for now, that’s me done with Showa Rider for another little bit. I have now seen every single Kamen Rider but one, and... it’ll take me a bit to get to it, but I’m excited for it and the rewatches that come around it. Like I said, I consider Skyrider, Super-1 and ZX to be a second little mini-era within Showa Rider; and that’s in large part because what would come next would be a MASSIVE change for the franchise, one that seriously left an impact to this day and is still one of my all-time favourite Kamen Rider seasons. But I’m getting ahead of myself -- there were that many years between it and Super-1 (6!! 6 years until Kamen Rider would get a show again), and it is so fundamentally different that much like I did at the end of Stronger, I’m going to take a break here until then. I may have sounded like a bit of a downer on everything new I’ve experienced in this part of the Showa Rider marathon, but ultimately Showa Rider is Showa Rider -- I’ve had a good time here just like I had last time, and while it might not have lived up to those shows I’d consider stronger, I definitely don’t regret watching them. I’m just gonna give it a break so that I can be suitably excited for getting back to BLACK

Do you own any knee-high boots?
No, not my style. I was really into them as a teenager, but since I live in a super conservative country I couldn’t really wear them in public unless I was confident enough to survive all the inevitable stares. At some point though I grew out of the look.
Do you like swimming in lakes?
No. Lakes are not common here to begin with.
Have you ever tubed down a river?
I don’t know what this means but in any case I’ve never hung around rivers much; we don’t have lots of them here, either.
Have you ever kissed a dog on the mouth?
Plenty of times. Doesn’t gross me out for the most part.
Are you accident prone?
Quite, yeah. For some reason I always happen to knock over drink-filled glasses around my co-workers, so that’s been an inside joke and they ceaselessly give me shit about it. Outside of that I’m just generally clumsy.
How many squares of toilet paper do you use at a time?
5-6 at most.
Have you ever had acupuncture done to you?
Nope. Needles – automatic no.
Are you a menace to society?
Uh, I wouldn’t go ahead and say that.
Do you eat regurgitated bee food?
Almost never.
Do you play hopscotch?
Not these days, but I definitely liked drawing on the ground and playing it as a kid. In the Philippines we call it piko :)
Are you jealous of beautiful people?
I’m envious largely towards the pretty privilege that undoubtedly comes easy to them, not so much their physical looks.
Are you foolish and naive?
I can be pretty naïve and innocent still, yes.
Do you play with the food on your plate?
No.
Do you know any eunuchs?
Uh, I don’t think so.
When you were born was the umbilical cord wrapped around your neck?
As far as I know, no.
Drums or flute?
Drums.
What do you dread?
The scenario of never resigning from my current job. Man, I really need to get that done sometime in the foreseeable future lol.
What do you look forward to?
In the short-term, Tuesday - my dad is coming home and I got assigned to pick him up from the airport, so I’ve finally gotten a valid reason to file a leave ;)
Have you ever taken a mud bath?
I haven’t. Sounds like something I’d love to try at least once!
Can you twist your tongue upside down? what about sideways?
Sideways, sure. I tried doing upside down now but my tongue just ended up hurting, lol.
Have you ever tried to photograph a ghost?
No.
Do you have nude photos of yourself posted on the internet?
No.
Do you have a guilty conscience?
About some things, yes.
Would you enter a burning building to save a kitten?
If I feel like they were accessible enough/there’s enough time to get back in there and pick the kitten up, yes.
Are you considered “normal”?
I consider myself as pretty basic, yep. The whole “I’m not like other girls” narrative is a huge fuckin bore anyway.
Do you want to skydive?
Only if I had an expert strapped to my back and if they were handling absolutely everything, and all I had to do was scream and have fun lol.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John?
If we’re talking just name preferences, Luke. But if we’re talking about the four Gospels, I used to be intrigued by John’s the most since his was written much differently than the others.
Do you like avocados?
I actually do, yes.
Have you ever been told that you talk too much?
No. I feel like I’d take that personally and that such remark would stick, but since nothing comes mind then my guess is I haven’t been told this.
What’s the worst name you’ve ever been called?
Don’t feel like racking such bad memories in my head.
Do you like to party?
Sure, as long as the crowd is alright, the music is great, and I’m with people I’m comfortable with. Parties can be so dull if even one of these things is off.
Do you like to clean?
The process itself can be tiring but the end result makes it worth it.
What did you learn today?
Jin is gonna be on Running Man, heh heh. I’ve always been more of a 2 Days 1 Night girl, but I’m excited nonetheless! I’m so happy he’s gotten to be in variety shows before enlisting; he’s always been a natural at them.
Have you ever been hazed by an upperclassmen?
Nah.

hi its me the dead anon and i would like to share that maybe 2 nights ago i was up rlly late. and i was figuring out what i was going to write back to ur last response to my other ask when i got really tired
in my strange sleep deprived state i was hit with 'inspiration' and opened google docs. within a matter of a couple hours, from 1-2 am, i wrote a pages long fic where kaoru kills himself and hikaru was so upset and made myself cry so hard i passed out.
when i woke up i looked at it and it really wasn't that good?? but at the same time it was and it made me cry again so. theres that. if you were wondering what ive been doing instead of responding
anyway very sorry about dying. ive really wanted to send u asks but ive been stressed out so im not great at coming up with hcs. very uninspired (besides my weird kaoru suicide fic but. yk)
maybe this says something about my current mental state. maybe not. idk
NOOOOOOOOO HAHSJSOKDFJ I SHOULDNT LAUGH BUT THE IDEA YOU WOKE UP FROM A HALF AWAKE DAZE AND WERE LIKE "FUCK I GOTTA WRITE KAORU KILLING HIMSELF" CRIED, THEN PASSED OUT IS SUCH A FUNNY MENTAL IMAGE.
But like I GET IT!!! same shit happens to me. I'm about to sleep but inspo STRIKES and I HAVE to get it on paper. It actually happened last night... Idk if I'll turn the idea into a full fic I'll post but it was a comedic concept nonetheless
The idea of one of the twins dying always kills me bc it's like... SO fucking sad.... the heartbreak is too much for me... i like happy endings... But like, I get it. Sometimes you just gotta write super depressing stuff. I have before.
The idea tho of one of the twins having a nightmare abt the other dying... Oughh. Like some super vivid nighmare that has one of them bolting up in bed panting on the verge of tears, immediately seeking the other twin and hurriedly waking them up to make sure they're still alive.
Like for example, maybe Hikaru waking up a month after Kaoru had his really bad depressive episode that scared the shit out of him. In his nightmare though...things don't have such a happy ending. And Kaoru does what he worried so much about every night in that dream, and he loses his little brother, and it feels so real.
Hikaru wakes up with a really startled jolt and is on the verge of a panic attack. His first immediate course of action is to turn around and nearly shake Kaoru off the bed, panickedly saying his name.
Kaoru of course wakes up sleepy and confused, barely awake as Hikaru begins to squeeze the air out of him with a bear hug. He's mumbling some things Kaoru can't piece together in his tired state, but Kaoru can tell he's really upset...so he just holds Hikaru and sleepily mumbles some reassuring things to him, and it does make Hikaru feel better, just to hear him alive and well...
Also since I'm a sucker for close physical affection between the twins I like to think Hikaru sometimes kisses Kaoru on the cheek. He did it more when they were younger, but he still does it I think under special occasions. I think this would be one of them... He was just so broken up in his dream and it scared him so so badly, so as Kaoru is stroking his hair lazily and sleepily murmuring reassurances to him, Hikaru sniffling as he's trying NOT to burst into tears, he kisses Kaoru on the cheek. Kaoru makes a small confused noise because he isn't expecting it, but he gives Hikaru a kiss back. He basically ends up passing out after that bc he's barely awake as is but Hikaru stays up long after that, holding Kaoru and just listening to his steady, deep breaths and resting heartbeat. Just taking in the fact his brother is still here and alive.
He eventually falls asleep once dawn begins to filter through the curtains.
Also it's okay for not sending asks!!! Life is tough and busy. Your health & happiness is far more important!!! I really love your hikakao and ouran asks in general they are my day's highlight. But I'm here if you just want to send general asks about whatever :) DMs are always open too!
#ILL GET TO UR OTHER ASK A LITTLE LATER I HAVE THOUGHTS ON IT... MUCH TO SAY...#hikakao#ohshc#;noxiatalks2ya

I really enjoyed watching today's movie, Akira. Mainly because I just think the concept is really cool. The idea of future societies just interests me in general to be honest. I have seen some things online about it super briefly but nothing that really helped me understand the plot in anyway since I just realized that what I saw online was actually from this movie while I was watching it. So I pretty much when in blind and part of me is happy that I did but the logical part of my brain was definitely not ready for this. After watching the movie I ended up looking up some explanations online and am still not super confident that I understood what was going on. But nonetheless, the main part that I am pretty sure I understand is Akira being brought back from the dead in order to help stop Tetsuo control his power and to mitigate the damage that he was doing to the new Tokyo. From what I gather, this also seems to be a commentary on the government and what can happen if they go unchecked in many different departments. We see in the film that the government is responsible for many horrible acts like testing on people and keeping the Espers captured and hidden away to the best of the government's ability. I think that this while film has the general message that the government having too much power or not having any kind of check system is not good as they can end up doing things like torturing people lol. Overall, I really liked the vibe of the movie and think that it had some really well orchestrated plot points but that it also had parts that were very confusing and could have used a bit more explanation.

day 19 (saturday, july 22nd 2023)
Missed today (writing this on Sunday). Oh well, it was bound to happen at some point I guess. Perhaps this serves as a meditation on the irreversibility of time. It also keeps me in mind of the nature of obligation and commitment. I feel like part of what I wanted to do with this thing was to commit to doing something that I otherwise wouldn't feel compelled to do, and which I didn't necessarily think represented an obligation to myself, but which would end up coming to something more than I might have expected beforehand. (I was going to say "pay dividends" but I've been thinking a lot more — I think it might have been since reading a stray sentence in a Lakoff book — about the manner in which financial metaphors have come to dominate our thought about even the most mundane situations, which is something I'm definitely not super happy about. I wonder if it's just a manifestation of the indispensability of quantificational metaphor more generally to abstract thought.) In any case, I do want to stick to doing this for as long as I can.
It does put me in mind however of the nature of felt compulsion. For instance, I said I wanted to do this every day and that I didn't want to feel compelled to write something substantial. And yet I nonetheless find it difficult to want to do this every day and I still haven't managed to resist the felt compulsion to write something substantial. And of course this is a revelation in self-knowledge, and part of the point of this project was to gain self-knowledge, which is in fact happening to me not merely from what I find myself writing about but what I find myself unwilling to write about, how I find myself approaching the project, auxiliary introspection and modes of orientation which become more noticeable to me through whatever changes in me the project has wrought, etc. Part of what is involved in any endeavour with an intended end is partly that the real relationship between the endeavour and the end will always outstrip the expected or intended relationship between the endeavour and the end, because the world is full of all sorts of relations that we cannot fully anticipate or understand.

Sentimental Summertime Mullings
Every summer, me and my family travel west to my great grandma and great grandpa's old house which my grandma and her siblings still own. It's out in the mountains, by the sea in a real small town. There isn't really any dedicated internet set up there either since no one really lives there anymore. It might be the time of year I look forward to the most. It's a nice place to spend time with my parents, siblings, grandma, my uncles, aunts, cousins, etc without worrying about work or whatever. Even some more distant family that I only really see when we're there. We go fishing, we go on hikes, we play cards, it's just the lovliest place I can think of. But one of my favorite things about being there is the opportunity to reconnect with some hobbies that I've fallen away from a bit at home.
Since there isn't really any dedicated internet there, I'm forced to unplug a bit and do something other than watch YouTube videos. At home that kinda became the default for me, even if I wanted to do something else. So being there, in that house is where I think my love of video games really formed. When we weren't on the trampoline or going out on hikes, me and the other kids would be on our DSes playing games day and night. Pokemon, Mario Kart, Mario Party, the frickin minigames in New Super Mario Bros and Mario 64 DS (lots of Mario), even making and downloading Flipnotes while it was still alive. Life truly couldn't get any better than that for little me. Those times are some of my most cherished childhood memories, yearly traditions that I always looked forward to so much. But of course, none of us stopped aging (as much as I would've liked that), and as everyone got older, people had other things they wanted to do, other places they wanted to visit, or just generally less interest in spending so much time playing on our old little DSes.
I wasn't hanging out with my second-cousins every year anymore, and for the last few years I haven't really been able to play video games on my own at home. I couldn't just sit down and play a Pokemon game anymore when it was so connected to that place and those memories I couldn't relive again. It just made me sad. It still makes me sad. But this year… I dunno. I feel like more than ever I've found it within myself to accept those times as just memories. Memories that I still hold very dear, but memories nonetheless. I'm standing in this house and I don't feel depressed that things changed. I'm playing some Pikmin, I'm reading a whole bunch of comics, I'm going on hikes and going fishing with the family members who are still visiting. Doing all this stuff that I liked to do and not feeling chained to the fact that I'm not following all our yearly traditions exactly as they were. Part of me just feels more at peace finally.
It's not the same as when I was a kid, the house isn't as stuffed with family as it was back then and I still miss it being that way, but maybe I'm finally moving on a bit. Accepting that it's ok for this place and my new memories there to change, and that I can still enjoy those hobbies that I loved so much as a kid. I can still enjoy Pokemon even if my second-cousin who knew everything about it and lended me some of his isn't here as much anymore. I can just enjoy the stuff I like because I like it and I wanna keep doing it as I move into new and scary phases of my life. My love of these things definitely stemmed from this house and the family I spent time with there, but it doesn't have to end there, stuck in this house forever. Still, if they do come visit again while I'm here and feel like playing some Mario Party, I'll be more than happy to bring that dusty old cartridge out. I always bring it with me.
