ᯓ “𝐌𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐞𝐮𝐫, 𝐦𝐚 𝐯𝐢𝐞.” — 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐤𝐢.

Appreciating your boyfriend ❤︎ ╰┈➤ Inspired off his trivia/Egoist Bible, ifykyk.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 : Self-indulgence, silly blurb, just giving Loki the love I cant give him…. Pure fluff! Clingy and shy (?) GN!READER!!!

You love your boyfriend. Terribly so. The simple act of him brushing his warm fingers against your skin has you weak. You love him so much. Every time he looks at you with his stunning eyes, you get all giddy— He looks like a dream, that honeyed gaze getting your throat all dry. How did you get so damn lucky?

Even if you were a couple of months into the relationship, you were still a bit shy. He was so sweet to you, so patient, so understanding it left your chest aching. Still, you were almost intimidated, really. You’re sure it would sadden him if you ever told him, so you don’t. But it was simply because he was so amazing, so unreal. He knew that. And many agree.

Fans screamed his name, they revered him off and on the filed for his skills— And he adored it. And he loved it from you especially. It was a thrilling thing to have you touch him, the reverence of your fingertips leaving trails of warmth that clung to his very bones. You loved him for how he was, not for his skills. It was so different. But he found it addictive.

And now, it was one of the many times Julien liked, both of you were on his bed— With him on his back, mindlessly scrolling on his phone with one hand. The other was occupied, running his fingers through your locks. Your head was lying on his bare stomach, you had lifted his shirt up a while earlier to pepper kisses there. A comfortable laid in the air as you embraced him, your legs tangled with his.

He had to stop the grin that tugged at his lips. It felt good, you weren’t usually so daring so these moments were nice. Each press of the lips lingered with gut-wrenching softness, before moving on to another inch of skin, leaving his stomach feel funny. Each kiss felt like a painter’s stroke, and he was your canvas. Your lips trailed up— And his shirt got in the way more and more. Undeterred— You slipped your head beneath the fabric, losing his hand on your head in the process.

“Que fais-tu, mon cœur?” (What are you doing, my heart?).

His voice was so sweet, fabricated with such care— As if to not scare you away. And in a way, it was. He felt like a trap, and you were the doe that didn’t know any better, walking straight into him. Except you did. You paused for a split moment, he wondered what expression you had on your face, before you continued— Back to your endeavours on his skin, leaving him with no answer.

Julien let it slide, always did with you. Again, these moments were rare, so he let your lips worship him— He let you get a bit more used to him, in hopes these adorable acts of affection came more often. Slowly you trailed up, trying to somehow show him the gratefulness you felt you couldn’t put to words easily— There not a single day you wanted to take him for granted.

“…Je t’aime…” (I love you.) You murmured, your heart so full and unable to want to say anything else. He had taught you to say it a while back, and you purposely messed up multiple times to hear him say it again and again. He knew of course, but played along anyway. This time, he couldn’t help the grin on his face. It came out soft around the edges, flustered from the sheer softness and honesty im your voice. You relished in the slight shudder you felt beneath your fingertips.

“Je t’aime aussi.” (I love you too.)

You loved your boyfriend. Sweet, patient, understanding Julien. He was so cute, especially in times like this. Your legs started to detangle from his in favour of moving up more— His shirt was stretching more to try and welcome you, but he didn’t mind. It was an agonising thirty minutes before you reached his neck— Slowly stretching the fabric of his collar. Your lips grazed at his skin, barely leaving him to kiss some place else— It was driving him nuts….

It went on for another five, before you struggled in pushing your head out of his collar. “Je pourrais juste l’enlever, tu sais?” (I could just take it off, you know?). He murmured, enjoying the closeness— Finally relenting and putting his phone aside, which at that point, had already shut off on its own. He thinks the answer is no, when you finally succeed. You’re beaming so brightly, smiling at him so proudly. A warm smile that’s infectious.

He wonders if you’re going to torture him more, by letting your lips explore his face. He wanted your mouth on his. If he could just lean closer… You cut him off, a bubbly thing, you kissed him on the cheek— Deeply, with the most childish “Mwah!” he’s ever heard. But it’s from you, so it’s more than alright. A soft chuckle slips past his lips. But you swallowed that up, lips pressing against his— As if it his sound of laughter wasn’t for the world to have, and it wasn’t. It rumbled in your chest so sweetly, as if you were taking his laughter, only for your body to feel, to hear, the remember.

It was slow, you had to break it off with how much the both of you were smiling. It wasn’t long before you couldn’t contain yourself, showering his face with kisses, but always returning back to his lips for more. You were so adorable, he loves you so much, how did he get so lucky? He never gets his answer. Julien just decides to love you just as dearly, if not more, in hopes you’ll never leave him and give this love to someone else. You plant one final kiss to the tip of his nose, before a hand gripped the back of your neck.

It’s enough to make you pause, for your eyes to flicker to his own….

“Ça doit être de mon tour, non? Qu’en penses-tu, mon doux/ma douce?” (It has to be my turn, no? What do you think, sweet thing?)

And with how you’re stuck all up against him, you don’t exactly think you have a choice in that matter. But with how he speaks to you, you don’t mind all that much.

I kinda wanna make a version for Luna, Bunny and Pablo… But idk… 🥹

[jua-babbles]

I JUST HAD A VISION. A NSFW VERSION OF THIS. I DON’T REALLY DO SMUT FICS BUT HOLY I HAVE THE INSPO.

[jua-babbles]

I’d love to write some things for Julian! But if you’d like anything specific, please say so!!!

[jua-babbles]

The way I gasped at seeing your latest post, im glad to see you back 🥹

TYSM!!! It was sorta on a whim,,, I’m super hyperfixated on DCU at the moment so writing for BLLK was a bit tuff. Perhaps I shall continue to post little snippets when I have the motivation!!

Does this mean I’m coming back? HAHA YOUR SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!

Look behind you.

🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ 💨💨💨💨

🪽- Chris Prince

When Chris kisses you, it’s warm— Passionate. Always full of love and deep. He doesn’t do things half-heartedly. ESPECIALLY when it comes to YOU 🫵

He especially loves touching you when you kiss each other. And he loves it even more when you touch HIM.

Wrap your arms around his neck, cup his face, hold onto his biceps, tangle your fingers into his hair and you’ve got him wrapped around your finger.

His own hands are on you constantly when you kiss, on your waist, holding your hands… He likes that it makes it more intimate.

He tends to be the one who initiates most of the kisses but he is over the MOON if you initiate it first.

He claims he NEEDS you to kiss him before a match or else he’ll lose 🤞

Also claims he needs a few kisses everyday to survive.

His love is firm, but not overwhelming. He can be enthusiastic but makes sure you’re always comfortable. He cares for the little romantic moments.

He’s so puppy love coded to me, I don’t know why…

His heart flutters every time you kiss his mole (I LOVE HIS FRIGGIN MOLE YO), like,,, it feels like you like even the littlest things about him!! (you do, probably.)

☁️ - Julian Loki

Kisses with Julian depend on his mood.

His kisses can be sweet and gentle, or he can make it seem like he wants to devour you with his lips.

Kissing is grounding to him. Makes him feel in control.

He likes placing his hands on your hips !!!

He adores the leaving and welcome back kisses.

He’s also a fan of you wrapping your arms around his neck 👅

Please kiss him when he’s leaving for training, he might return with some pastries you like ^^

Whenever you feel bad about yourself (physically or mentally), sometimes he’ll just lay you down and pepper kisses all over your body.

Love how you write, hope you get back into bllk soon! /nf

ONE DAY. ONE DAY. I’LL COME BACK TO WRITING! MAYBE WHEN HUGO OR LOKI’S PERSONALITIES ARE SHOWN MORE!! Or the other NEL coaches/World 5….

IM SORRY IVE BEEN FIXATING SO HARD ON DC

[jua-babbles]

Hiiii

Brazilian reader here!

I saw your "Valentine's day" with the coaches and the world five and thought it was so cute!!

Just wanted to point something, though, that you might appreciate!

The Carnaval occurs only in February (at max in march) so Lavinho wouldn't be able to take reader to see it in june lol.

Though, you know what is a traditional event that *does* occurs in June and Lavinho would mostly probably adore? Festa Junina (And it’s a wordplay that means both "June's festival" and "John’s festival" [You know John the saint? Yeah, this one]).

In Festa Junina we usually celebrate 3 saints: John (duhhh), Peter and *Anthony* who is the saint of love. His official day is 06/13 and it's because of him we celebrate Dia dos Namorados in 06/12!

In the festival you usually will see a lot of things referring to the countryside. A particular tradition that is really appreciated is the Casamento (Engagement) which consists basically of a (fake) Bride and a Groom who will be married by the Priest, but here is the catch: The bride's father will try to intervene the marriage. The thing usually carries to a dance called "Quadrilha" (I don’t think there is a real translation for that) and it's really exciting. Everything is really fun and joyful.

Usually, the bride and the groom are a consagrate couple, you know? The ones everyone is shipping.

Anywayyyy, everything said to formulate one thought:

I think Lavinho would one hundred per cent make reader be his bride in this play pretend (and maybe confess he doesn't want to pretend for much longer)

I understand it's probably pretty difficult to write for another culture and you would probably need to do a lot of research, so no pressure at all! Just wanted to let you know it because for me it's such a funny fact and I lwk thought it was really cute you researched the Dia dos Namorados before lol 😭

OMG TYSM!! I was struggling so HARD with lavihno cus of culture differences 😭

[jua-babbles]

Juju where did u go.... miss you 💔💔💔

I’VE BEEN FIXATING ON ANOTHER FANDOM I’M SORRYUHHHH!!!

If I get back into Blue Lock, I’ll make my come back, PROMISE! It’s just the asks in my inbox aren’t very pleasing to my nonexistent inspirational skills. I gen might empty them out…

[jua-babbles]

i saw the matchups and kinda wanted one for bllk 😔🙏

* i’m 19, pansexual and i go by any pronouns.

* i like making art but the sewing, cosplaying, and dancing kind idk TvT

* i LOVE cats. strays, expensive breeds, just cat (animals in general especially the babies). i have way too many dislikes so imma just say people with no sense of urgency lmfao

* if it helps, infp. i’m more of a listener and would only yap when the topics are my hyper fixations. a little selfless at times. and i have very shitty memory <\3 but i try to remember small details about people

* biggest physical touch person (real) and quality time too

* for aesthetics, imagine erunyan from shingeki no awake 😭 i love colors and i love carrying a bunch of merch of my favorite games

* i’m REALLY into loud ass music like hella loud. my mom should be happy we dont have speakers at home kind of loud 😭. and i get overstimulated easily, so i wear my headphones at all times !!!!!! and lowkey an academic achiever too

* lowkey a sensitive person too. i cry over baby animals on my insta reels

* i don’t mind spoilers, i read leaks even though i’m still reading thru the nel arc lmao

I chose him because I feel he would be gentle with a sensitive S/O, or one that gets overstimulated easily! I feel like he relates to a certain level, therefore comforts you when you need it <3

Always makes sure you are okay 👌

I feel he’d be a little curious about sewing,, so if you dont mind,,, he’d like for you to teach him :33

Lowkey he would enjoy going out on cat café dates with you,, I SEE IT. I SEE IT…..

Um um! If you make your own cosplays, he would like to help, I imagine he likes diy activities.

He also really admires your style of clothes!! He thinks it’s very interesting to look at, and would wear some matching accessories if you ever asked!

[light-of-dei]

i do think that, while loki can be lenient on his darling, he is also capable of mischief. hes a guy who isnt above pouting at you for talking or thinking about other people while its supposed to be your 'quiet hang out time' and will just swat your phone away

[jua-babbles]

FINALLY SOME YAN LOKI STUFF 🥹💛

[jua-babbles]

hii! im here for the bllk matchup:)

so im fem, 17, my pronouns are she/her and im bisexual

I play volleyball pretty competitively and sometimes badminton!

i loooovveee singing and i like to cook on the odd occasion. i also love spending time with animals (dogs specifically)

my friends say im funny and charismatic but i can be stubborn (my mbti and enneagram is ENTP 7w8 if that helps)

i think my love language is words of affirmation and maybe a bit of physical touch:)

thank you and take care of yourself!!

After some thought and difficulty,,, I pair you with…!!!! 🥁🥁🥁🥁

KIYORA JIN!

CONGRATS! BET YOU DIDNT EXPECT THAT!!

It’s stated his ideal type who someone who likes sports (you, dear anon), and someone who can makeup after a fight!

As long as you’re not stubborn in the sense you let your pride get in the way after arguments (and for the sake of this I’ll assume it isn’t), then it won’t end it a breakup!!

He might play volleyball or badminton with you from time to time, and also likes if you could play soccer or breakdance with him!

He’s very competitive, and would try to beat you at volleyball and badminton— It’s a bonus for him if you get annoyed by his taunts.

Extrovert x Introvert

[jua-babbles]

NEWS!

Ok ok gang. Here’s the deal! Im participating in the ramadan right now (im not muslim, just doing it out of solidarity for my muslim friends 😼) SO.

Until the Ramadan ends (which I believe is until the start of April) I will be closing my inbox FOR

Smut reqs

Yandere reqs

Dont worry, i wont delete any requests coming in at this time, its just a disclaimer that I WONT answer to them till like a month! Current reqs will also be on hold. Ill still keep writing but limiting the content i produce until the end of ramadan, hope yall understand dont send me death threats or something 💛

[jua-babbles]

mmmmay i request for a matchup 😅😅😅

okay so i’m not used to doing this typa stuff so i HOPE i gave the right amount of information ykykykyk..

ok so i’m chiyu/chiya

i’m 16.. but like 16 turning 17 😅😅😅

i go by she/her

i like everything and dislike js about nothing (yeah ik helpful right 🙂) idk i just find it really hard to dislike a lot of stuff this wont be helpful but all i dislike is literally hsr boiled eggs and microwaved milk but lowkey id still eat and drink bc food is food

ummmm personality is hard um i’ve tried figuring out my mbti i have no clue tho like estp or enfj..? idk all my friends say i have a lot of friends tho and that’s about all i know… my friends say im very indecisive and heh i am called pretty smart 🥱🥱🥱 that’s only bc im in like almost all ap though.. but we won’t talk about my grades there. but like idk a lot of my friends can’t really describe me too well bc apparently im too hard to describe 🙂 i don’t know if that’s good or bad.

okay so for love language i took a test. i scored high literally everywhere my friends did make fun of me for it 💔 HIGH EVERYWHERE but like the thing is when i took the test half the time i was like “omg if they did that for me.. i’d be like ong… i’d die right at the spot…” 🫩 ik. and if i took it again. IT WOULD BE THE SAME. IVE TAKEN JT BEFORE its always super high everywhere

my aesthetic… my friends say i dress very streetwear (like NY streetwear) but like the moment they step into my room it’s literally all pink and pastel 😭

extra? heh i’m pretty tall you could say.. um that’s about it 😔 i know im not the most interesting now am i

This was really tough!! But in the end.. I settled on….

Tada!!! Ahhh, Bachira! My go to whenever I have no idea what to give during matchups right next to Nagi and Reo <3

At least im honest ok? 👅

Plus ANYTHING can happen in the world of fanfiction 😼

Am I saying bs to make this longer? YEAAAAPP UOU BET YOUR ASS I AM 😝

This lowkey works as a platonic or romantic pairing!

Okay okay, he might drag you out more often— But he certainly wouldn’t mind playing games with you from time to time!

He’s very ‘quality time guy’ to me,, so he’d appreciate it if you could go out with him often.

WHAT DO I DO OMG THERES SO MUCH WRITTEN BUT SO LITTLE I CAN WRITE…

I feel so had giving something short, but gang if you see this and you want another try where I dive deeper, you should tots come back with a few things in mind!

You have a lot of paragraphs, but there’s really few information I can extract from them. I DO NOT know you, I do not know a thing about you.

You could also try telling me things that might be vital in a relationship (communication skills, what you want in a partner, and please try to think more on what you dislike and like!), I apologise for not putting that in the list of info I need, but I will right after this!!

[light-of-dei]

Julian Loki . . . Yandere Alphabets !

i'm going to try and stick to canon as much as i can ^_^ with a minor tweak here n there ( letters; L, O, K, I )

post will mention:

children, in a domestic setting. general warnings you can expect from yandere works, though this one is quite mild. no harm done. possible ooc, a Lot of me projecting really. this is honestly barely yandere idk why i did this bqhweusuh loki is just a very nice guy to me 🎀 if you'd like a link to the yandere alphabet prompts, here you go !

Love Letters: How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?

i think its hard to pin down what it is exactly that'd make loki want to approach someone, especially since it can vary by AUs. even if we're sticking to canon, it wouldn't make it any easier either. loki is attracted to a lot of things, but i think he'd like it if he met his darling when they're in a somewhat helpless state. like, maybe you were introduced by a mutual connection, you talk and he feels a pull to you, and decides to help out with whatever needs you need fulfilling. he gets attached to the dynamic and then ultimately you as a person.

courting wise i guess i already covered them here ^_^

Outrage: What makes them furious?

not many things in this world can get him angry. even if he did gets ticked off, he's very quick to calm down. he doesn't like having his views challenged¹ so much, and i think the closest he'd get to being mad is if his darling doubts him. if you doubt yourself, that's fine. he thinks its endearing, even. you don't have to be 'worthy' or 'enough' for him at all, especially since he chose you. trust him when he says you're more and beyond anything he ever wanted in a person. but if you doubt him? if you think you'd be 'too much' for him to handle, or god forbid of infidelity? a vein in his forehead is most definitely pulsing.

are you saying he's unfit? he isn't good enough for you? do you think he's such a lowly man that he'd entertain himself with other people when he went through so much effort to win you over? apologies if he gets a little offended. he'll have to adjust your views of him, clearly.

as his darling, you'd likely notice he'd get more territorial around you. go as you wish with your friends and families, but he's coming with, and it won't be negotiable at all. he'll get clingy and affectionate with you, calling you petnames and rubbing his face against yours, making sure that you feel embarrassed enough to burn this memory into your skull. he wouldn't be doing all this if he doesn't want to leave the impression of a "loving partner" to everyone who knows you, he wouldn't have to act grossly sweet around your connections if you trust him to be all yours as much as you are his. now, other people will look at you like you're an idiot if you ever expressed your worries about him being unfaithful, because what could you possibly be worried about? he fixes your appearance often when you two are out, he pays for everything and if you insist to return the favor, then he insist that you pay back with kisses of any kinds, he posts you (censored, of course, for your own safety) on his social medias after your dates, and thoroughly drives in the idea of being unavailable for anyone else's romantic pursuits. you're his, he's yours, he won't let anyone challenge this, not even you.

1: as seen with isagi, possibly with rin? i'm unsure what he was feeling when he. fisted his collar and all, but i don't think he was picking a fight. he's mostly excited playing with people his age, but i think because of his belief of superiority, he just underestimated them by a lot, so i guess that scene with rin was more of him reassesing his belief or at least view od blue lock players, rin in particular?

Kidnap: How would they go about kidnapping their darling? How much do they plan out?

there's nothing about you that loki didn't plan about. i don't think he'd ever kidnap you, he'd just... make it so you'd never want to leave. if you want to spend time with people, invite them over. your residence is big enough to host, isn't it? by yours, he means, yours and his. you'll be living together, willingly. he'll play the longest game possible until marriage occurs and you move in to his place, and by that time, he'll have everything you ever wanted in a house in his land. you need an area to stretch your legs at? a beautiful garden, with your favorite flowers. concrete tracks along the bed of blooming, floral blossoms for you to circle around, and even a swing-bench under a tree for you to rest your feet, should they be tired. you like to curl in a room and play games all day? count him in with you, the two of you could spend time playing competitive or cozy games together in a dedicated room where the internet signal is at his strongest. you can even show him the ropes to your favorite game, he'd love to see you in your natural space having the most joyous time. need a quiet place to retreat to after a rough day? ....don't tell anyone, but the closet in his room leads to a small space where no noise made on the inside, can be heard on the outside. he made sure of it.

you'll be lacking nothing under his roof, there is no reason for you to leave. just stay with him, if there's anything you need, he'll take care of it. his beloved need only ask.

Ideals: What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?

okay, as you can see i'm incredibly huge on caretaker loki. that is my main characterization for him. he's not just an overcompetent, millionaire malewife, but truly, all he wants is for you to be well taken care of. he knows what he can provide for you, he knows exactly what you need and how to give you it in the exact way you want. if you're open to kids, he'd love to have one or two little guys running around the house. more people to love, right? even if they're adopted, he wouldn't mind at all. the scenario that runs through his head the most is; coming home after a match, one little thing in hand, his bags and yours hanging off the other arm and his back, you're carrying the other little one, and the four of you just crash on the couch. bags discarded, full after some lunch outside, TV noise in the background, his closest and most dearly beloved in his arms.

a day or two after the match, he'll get a trusted babysitter and take you out for a date. you'll watch movies, commentate a little too loud, get dinner together, anything you want, his treat. you'll grab desserts on the way home, he'd pay the babysitters and you'd do your night routines together before going to bed. that's the perfect week for him, a future scenario that he holds dearly.
