Alpha: you don’t think I’m chaotic and crazy and make a bunch of messes?
Neji: no, you definitely do that… 😑
Also Neji: but you’re trying to grow—and actually doing it. That’s what really matters to me.
Alpha: I love you, Neji 🥹
Neji: I love you too.
Reminder: your fave would love you.
Imagine Neji’s alpha mad stacking it down the stairs and then awkwardly walking into the kitchen all nonchalant like they didn’t just eat it.
“H-how much can you see with that Bakugan again?”
“Are you asking because you tripped on the bag I told you to put away three times?”
“Oh, so you saw that”
Neji trying to be nice “…no…”
“Did you hurt yourself?”
naruto men who would whimper if u ride it right:
itachi, OBITO, naruto, minato, NEJI, iruka, hashirama, deidara
…he was not grown up enough to get his hair brushed without crying
if a character means enough to me i will truly never stop thinking about them. i just retire them into a little back room in my brain and periodically bring them out to stare at them under a little light
Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.
Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.
He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.
And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.
Loserlord indeed
Omega Naruto boy scents
Naruto: his scent is fruity and tropical. He doesn’t have the best scent control so luckily, he’s in a positive mood most of the time and his scent is generally well liked. When he’s feeling unhappy the scent takes on a sour note.
Sasuke: Uchiha’s typically have woody/peppery scents. As an omega, Sasuke’s scent is cherry sweet and tart; there’s the distinctive Uchiha muskiness that levels the sweetness out. It’s not overpowering, which is especially appealing to those with sensitive noses.
Itachi: Very similar to Sasuke’s, almost indistinguishable to the untrained nose. Itachi’s scent is powderier than Sasuke’s, with the hint of something floral. The fruity note comes out more when he’s excited or happy, though he does have incredible control over his scent. Most of the time he keeps the scent minimal and manages to smell like the forest and a hint of something sweet.
Neji: smells very clean. Like fresh linen and lavender. Very powdery and feminine notes. When upset his scent can start to smell bleach-like.
Shikamaru: his scent is like a meadow. Fresh grass and flowers. Maybe it’s why the deer love Nara’s so much. His scent feels like taking a nap in a sunny field. When he’s upset however, I’d imagine it smells more like dirt and wood.
Chouji: He’d smell like cookies. Sweet, warm, and inviting. The pups in the village love his scent and tend to gravitate to him. He’s very rarely mad enough for his scent to change drastically, but in that scenario, it would smell more like burnt sugar.
Lee: Fruity and citrus like. Very fresh and pleasant to others, but not the easiest to blend into the forest. For this reason, Lee becomes very good at controlling his scent.
Haku: smells like dew drops on a flower garden in the morning. Very light and feminine scent, especially attractive to alphas. Starts to smell like an oncoming storm when he’s upset though.
Kiba: First notable scent is that he smells like pine and dirt, so he can disappear into the forest easily. However, upon close inspection there’s notes of a scent akin to butterscotch.
Omega Neji (royalty AU)
The family often dressed him plainly on special occasions, whilst his cousins Hinata and Hanabi wore brightly colored silks and jewels. Perhaps, the family knew -particularly the lord himself- that luxurious clothing paired with his natural beauty may distract potential mates from the lord’s heirs. Not that it mattered, Neji would look elegant in a potato sack.
As Neji served his cousins and their suitors, the alpha’s eyes couldn’t help but flitter to the quiet omega. Neji performed his duties, laying the table and pouring the tea with practiced poise. His eyes remained downcast as he attempted to ignore the suitors lingering stares. As he went to place a teacup, one of the alpha’s hands brushed Neji’s intentionally, their eyes meeting. The alpha found delight in watching Neji’s round eyes fill with panic and immediately become downcast, bashfulness was the mark of an obedient omega. His cousins, however, did not find the interaction so pleasing. “That’s enough Neji, you may excuse yourself,” Hanabi said shortly.
He bowed and retreated quickly, mentally hoping that his cousins would be kind enough not to tell his uncle of the alpha’s interest in him. Lest he be punished or worse… encouraged to make it a match. Besides, he already had eyes for another.
complimenting japanese artists
There are plenty of templates for asking permission from Japanese artists on pixiv and twitter to repost their fanworks, but almost none about how to compliment their art and let them know their work is appreciated, so I thought I’d put together a few stock phrases you can use to let an artist know you think their work is great!!
ああああ = “aaaaaaa/ahhhhh” (use as many あ as u feel like ahaha)
_____さんの絵が大好きです！ = “i love your art!” (use artist’s name in blank, usually in only japanese characters, for example ▲むっこ▲スパコミ レ57b on twitter’s name is just むっこ, ignore anything after an “@”）
_____は可愛すぎますよ～！ = “____ is too cute~!” (insert ship or character name, you can get their name in japanese on their wiki pages or myanimelist, check their pixiv to see what their art is tagged with to find the ship’s name in japanese if you don’t already know it, or you can replace with (artist name)さんの絵 to say the artist’s art is too cute)
(きれいな/可愛い/素晴らしい)絵をいつも描いてくれてありがとうございます！ = “thank you for always drawing pretty/cute/amazing art!” (pick ONE adjective)
_____さんの絵は凄く(可愛い/かっこいい/素晴らしい)ですねえ！= “your art is REALLY cute/cool/amazing!” (pick ONE adjective)
_____さんの絵最高です！/____最高です！= “your art is the best!” / “(character/ship) is the best!”
feel free to use as many exclamation points, hearts ♡♡♡, and kaomoji as you feel like in between sentences!
also for sentence enders, i just included a few random ones but feel free to exchange よ/ねえ as much as you like, but it’s kinda weird to use them at the end of every sentence. its also weird if you use the same one at the end all your sentences. also just a generic “～" at the end is good too!
if you have any questions on how to say something else, or if you think there’s an important phrase i missed, or you kinda want to know what the artist said in reply to your compliment, let me know!
[edit]: thanks to toukochu for pointing out it should be 描いてくれてありがとうございます instead of 描いてありがとうございます and that the は particle was unnecessary for 最高です！
Reblogging these for those who will like to send compliments to Japanese artist.
Character A tilting Character B’s chin up to get a better look at their face and the evidence of the fight. A delicately thumbs away the streak of blood by B’s mouth, saying nothing as they examine it. After a brief pause, B’s heart skips a nervous beat as A looks them dead in the eyes. Their voice is quiet and tense, their anger barely restrained.
“Who did this to you?”
#i am a weak and simple woman okay
Um, absolutely.
When the characters are Enemies
WHEN THEY’RE ENEMIES
WHEN THEY’RE ENEMIES
WHEN THEY’RE ENEMIES
I’m a simple person, I see this trope, I love whatever work it is in
Japanese legend: you have the face of who you loved most in a past life
THE NEXT AVATAR ABOUT TO LOOK FINE AFFFFFF
My kink is unloved characters suddenly being loved unconditionally
My kink right now is unloved characters suddenly realizing that they are loved unconditionally.
My kink is also unloved characters realizing they deserve that unconditional love
Sometimes it can feel a little weird making posts about your F/O because it feels like nobody wants to see them or they’re out of place but honestly??? Do it anyway! Make posts about how much you want to hold your F/O and talk about your first date and write about the butterflies you felt when you realized you were in love. Share those feelings. It feels good. It’s freeing. Don’t think about being ‘cringy’ or too much. Let those thoughts and worries go. Just relish in the purity of just being absolutely, head over heels in love.

Not nearly enough “Sirius Black makes himself at home in Privet Drive because there’s nothing the Dursleys can do to get him to leave” fic out there, and it’s a crying shame.
Harry just rolling up like WHADDUP THIS IS MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT FAMILAR HE EMOTIONALLY SUPPORTS ME BY MAULING PEOPLE WHO THREATEN ME. And Sirus dog-charades AND THIS IS MY EMOTIONAL SUPPORT COUCH YOU CAN SIT ON THE FLOOR FUCKERS. You know what else is good “Dudley gets on top of how fucked up his parents are faster” fic, and i feel like “Sirius Lives at Privet Drive” dovetails nicely into this:
Dudley, age 14 and realizing his mother’s Loving-but-Ill-advised cooking is setting him up for some serious health problems, and that he’s tall enough to look his dad in the eye now, so his previous rationale of “If he’s hitting Harry he’s not Hitting Me” doesn’t hold up now, and goes full Eye of The Tiger to cope.
This means Sirus gets dragged along on a lot of Parent-avoiding “Walkies”
So many that one evening after a fight Dudley is trying to round up Harry and Sirius for a cooldown run and Sirius groans “Oh you’re big lads you can jog to the tesco on your own.” from the couch There’s a hot moment of silence.
“He’s a Magic Dog.” Says Harry.
“What do you mean your dog is a 40-year-old man?” “What do you mean your Dad’s BFF?” “What do you mean convicted criminal?” What do you mean WIZARD HITLER WANTS YOUR HIDE??” “..Shit I gotta up my workout routine.” “You’re not gonna punch Voldermort out Dudley.” “Not with these wimpy biceps I won’t.”
Shit’s getting increasingly tense in the house so when Ron announces they have tickets to the Quidditch World Cup Harry has to ask “Hey, can Dudley come too?”
Dudley might be short on wizarding skills but one thing he’s learned at Fancy rich boy School is the art of Schmooze. They meet Corneilus Fudge and Dudley charms the hell out of him. Fudge doesn’t even realize he’s not a Wizard. Harry tries to impress upon him the ‘VOLDERMORT’S ALIVE WITH A CULT DIPSHIT” upon him and nearly ends up in tears before Dudley takes his arm and whispers “Let me Handle This.”
Thirty minutes later Corneilus is organizing a Task Force of Aurors.
“What the fuck do they teach you there?” asks Harry. “Oh, buttering egos, Trigonometry, grift, the usual.” “What’s Trigonometry?” Asks Ron, walking with them on a field trip through Muggle London for Nandos. Dudley’s Uncle “Gerald White” is supervising them it’s fine. Dudley stares for a moment. “You guys… are learning math, along with your Divination and Transmorfigication and whatsits, right?” There is an awkward silence. Even Sirius considers morphing back into a dog to avoid this conversation. “Oh for fucks sake.” Sighs Dudley, texting Hermionie to see if she brought her Muggle textbooks along.
(She Did)
IDK what happens when the school year starts but I love the idea of “Well some snitch (Snape) might notice if Sirus is hanging around, so instead he goes with Dudley to Fancy Rich Boy School. Maybe they’re short a teacher there and he can reccomend his friend Remus, currently out of work for reasons that aren’t his fault…
Yassss!
“What’s trigonometry?” some pureblood at the World Cup asks him. “It’s a variant of arithmancy,” says Harry, who’s become somewhat adept at bullshitting translations between magical and muggle things when the incentive was avoiding Aunt Marge’s wrath.
Nobody’s ever heard of trigonometry except for one elderly pureblood witch, who had heard it mentioned once back in school by a classmate who went on to become a famous name in advanced and extremely theoretical arithmancy.
Everybody loses no time in agreeing that trigonometry must be this tremendously advanced arithmancy specialization and Dudley Dursley must be an absolute arithmancy prodigy to the point where even the arithmancy buffs don’t want to risk making themselves look stupid by asking him about his research.
OBVIOUSLY Dudley goes to some extremely foreign wizarding school with an advanced research program available. There can’t be many of them with an advanced “trigonometry” program like that, so nobody asks which school it is because what if there’s only one of them and they look stupid for not knowing about it?
Besides, Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, is giving him the time of day like he’s someone really important, so, yeah.
Oh, yeah, he’s definitely the type of absent-minded brilliance that forgets his wand regularly, head in the clouds with all those theorems.
Dudley actually takes up computer programming at Smeltings. He tried it out because he likes video games, and then sort of fell in love with the process, the building something up out of lines of code, the thrill of success when it works. The awestruck reactions of wizards who see a couple of his notebooks when he sits there scribbling out code on a spiralbound notebook with a ballpoint pen is almost tangible.
The ballpoints and the notebooks take some suspicion for their muggleness until Harry points out that you don’t need to pay attention to how much ink is left and when you need to dip it, so it’s perfect for somebody who might want to scribble out whole pages of that stuff without noticing whether they’ve run out of ink, and the notebooks have pages so you could remember where something is. Pretty soon quill-tipped ballpoints are all the rage and spiralbound parchment stacks are being sold in all the stores.
Somebody asks Dudley about his family history. “Oh, they’ve all been like me,” he says, “as far back as anybody remembers” and he means not-a-wizard, but everybody thinks the opposite.
His father is blustery and yells and prone to explosive bursts of anger, he says, and his mother is obsessed with cleanliness and etiquette, and everyone is perfectly happy to never suggest they’d like to meet them.
Once Dudley figures out that everyone thinks he’s a wizard, he and Harry have a solid laugh over it and Harry teaches Dudley what he’d need to know to continue the deception. Fred and George are brought into the equation and provide him with lots of cool tricks and such so that he can appear to do some small bits of magic now and again.
He eventually marries Daphne Greengrass, who knows about his muggleness at that point and loves the idea of getting one over on her overly bloodpurist parents without them ever knowing about it. Harry and Sirius quietly gift them Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, and the assumption that Dudley has the sort of money that buys a historic Pureblood property as a starter home goes round and round.
Dudley ends up on the Board of Governors, and later Minister for Magic, and in their old age Petunia and Vernon suffer the mingled pride and fury that their son is a Government Minister and they can’t brag about it.
