Y'all want to talk about yearning? THIS is yearning. Centuries of yearning.
His compass technique is literally her hairpin. His hair, his clothes, his blood demon art techniques, his refusal to hurt women, his determination to get stronger. They were all about her.
Kyojuro was such a good brother, he was a pillar for his family long before he became the Flame Hashira and yet he never complained about having to bear that weight, he just did it. His father abandoned his duties as a Hashira and a father and he immediately stepped forward to fill both. He always welcomes Senjuro’s presence as we see in Gaiden and when he’s not working/training he’s with Senjuro. In the movie when he comes home after being named a Hashira he tells his father the news and then goes to Senjuro—and he is so incredibly gentle and affectionate with his brother. He talks to him softly and earnestly and is honest with him. He touches Senjuro’s arms and then holds his hands, always making eye contact as he talks with him. He hugs him after he talks to him and it’s a strong hug. He knows that Senjuro is a gentle and timid boy and he not only makes it clear that that’s okay but responds to him with pure affection. It’s so amazing how he was so confident in his brother and I love that without Senjuro ever saying anything about not wanting to be the flame pillar that Kyojuro sensed he didn’t want it and was loving enough to say “You do what makes you happy, if it’s not this, then you don’t have to do it and I don’t want you to.” And the fact that as he was dying he asked Tanjiro to visit his family and tell Senjuro that again because he probably felt like Senjuro would try to fill his shoes and he didn’t want that. It was so hard to see Senjuro in the following book, his father yelling at him for crying because of course he is. Kyojuro took care of him, he loved him unconditionally and made Senjuro feel like he was safe and mattered. He was probably too young to remember his mother because he was clearly only like 2 when she died. Kyojuro was his mother and his father and to lose him and only have his depressed angry dad who made him constantly feel worthless but looks like his brother—a constant reminder he’s gone—OF COURSE he’s still crying and devastated. It’s a huge deal to me that Senjuro let Tanjiro keep the hilt because that was literally all he had left of his brother and it really shows his kindness and gentleness.
Hii, sorry if this question is annoying, do you still write for twd?
not annoying at all!! i haven't been very on top of writing or on tumblr as much these days, i got halfway through pt. 2 of fairy wings and bloody knees and then lost motivation 😅
i would definitely be down to write some more headcanons as i think those would be far easier to get out, but as far as any fics, i don't have any planned!
not to be gay but YOURE SO PRETTY i'm definitely feeling that "do i want to be her or be with her" lol. i think you said you had a husband? bro is exceptionally smart, a loss for the gaes™️ tho😔✊🏽
alas, i send you nothing but good vibes, wishes and love, thank you for your service to the fanfic community! you write so good!!!
ps: i love that your readers are older than the character, it's so refreshing seeing that❣️❣️
ahhhh STOPPPP THANK U SO MUCH ❤️ this is so sweet 🥹 i am married - i always like to remind him that he defied all odds because i'm bisexual and always thought i would end up with either a woman or a much older man. then this punk that ive known since middle school messaged me randomly one day a year after graduation and it spiraled from there 🤣 but trust, I APPRECIATE THE WOMEN TOO ❤️
it means a lot to me that you like my writing!! i don't consider myself much of a writer, i just dabble here and there, but i'd like to improve! thank u so much again this was so so sweet ❤️
how the task force 141 men react to you complaining about your job (f!reader)

simon doesn't even blink as you throw your head into his lap, eyes still focused on the television while his hand subconsciously moves to smooth your hair.
"jus' quit."
you pause in the midst of your whining, staring up at him like he'd just grown a second head. "what?"
simon shrugs. "makin' enough."
"i... i can't quit my job, simon."
his eyebrows twitch up a bit, indifferent. "up to you, love."
you pause, considering. "well..."
johnny doubles down. not only does he tell you to quit immediately, he also throws in that the military will pay him extra if you two get married.
mind you, johnny already rates BAH and has been making it since before you two got together. there won't really be any change to his pay besides separation pay when he's gone for more than a month. however, this is his opportunity to gauge your reaction to the idea of marriage, and he's taking it.
kyle. sweet, sweet kyle. he doesn't tell you to quit. not because he wouldn't support you financially - he absolutely would - but because he knows how important it can be for a woman to have a sense of independence. he also worries about how you'll handle the potential isolation if he's away for an extended period of time and you don't have a job to occupy your time. also, he's happy to pay the bills, but if you're working then you can afford all of the pretty things you want and deserve!
john? john price? ... funny of you to think that you're working while you're with that man, lol.
note: was bored and wrote this in like 10 mins. just had to be done lol. BAH is Basic Allowance for Housing in the American military (i'm not super familiar with british military allowances so using BAH for easy fic purposes lmao) - lower ranking enlisted military that are married can get it or single qualified enlisted (usually ranked sergeant and above) can be approved for it. it's extra pay that you receive to live off-base to cover housing expenses calculated by average cost of rent in the area and family size!
heart rot, a fungal disease, decays the inner heartwood of trees, creating weaknesses, while also providing homes for birds. short thing. all vibes, little plot/sense.
he finds her when he isn’t looking.
or rather, she finds him.
takes one long look as he drags the man who followed her into the toilet, and shoves him hard enough into the doorframe to rattle the walls. snaps his wrist like it’s nothing.
she decides.
she needs a place to hide. why not behind the biggest, meanest monster in the room? if the thing with teeth and blood on its knuckles likes her?
she’s seen worse.
she sees the ruin of him, too, the wet , festering rot. the hollowed-out hole in his chest, a place no decent thing should want to linger. and she decides that’ll do just fine for a home.
can’t be worse than where she’s come from.
his name is simon. he’s involved in the military. beyond that, it’s not her concern. it suits her fine, though, because he doesn’t ask about what’s behind her. what’s past is past, and he leaves it there.
he’s surprisingly accommodating. well, not accommodating. no flowers, no card. just a key, and no chain to hang it from. clean sheets, at least.
she brings with her all things soft, all things warm. a cup of tea waiting when he returns from whatever he won’t talk about. a comforting hand at the base of his skull when he wakes up tight with sweat, gripping his own throat tight. silence when he needs it. words, when he can bear them. she drags scraps of kindness into the hollow of him, weaves herself a bird’s nest within his ribs.
he warns her. more than once.
tells her what kind of man he is, what kind of things he’s done. shows her. he’s not gentle. not safe. his moods shift like bad weather, and his hands—well. she ought to be afraid of them.
she isn’t.
she stays.
she continues to surprise simon.
there are nights he comes close, so fucking close, to gutting himself open, prying her out, and casting her off for good. shoving her away before he makes a mess of things, before he ruins this too, like he ruins everything. he’s good at destroying things. lethal. better at it than keeping them. before she learns and sees the full measure of what he is.
but every time, she only burrows deeper. tucks herself in like she’s not afraid of the dark and doesn’t mind the splintering, sharp edges. like she’s already decided, without his permission, that she’s staying.
and at some point, though he can’t say exactly when, he stops fighting it.
realizes he’s sleeping through the night. that the cupboards are full. that he’s eating without thinking about it, without forcing himself to. there’s a steadying in his hands, a loosening in his chest, an easing in the places clenched tight for too long.
still himself. rough and weathered, but less teeth, more tongue. a longer, slower fuse. patience. letting himself stretch things out and savor instead of devouring it all in a single, starving bite.
and in the small hours, when his hands have left their mark on her skin and she’s pressed against him, breathing hitching but steady—he doesn’t let her go. just holds her, locks her to his side. luxuriates in the weight of her, the absurd, impossible fact of her.
"sevika doesn't even know that jinx and isha are dead"
YES SHE DOES!!!!
jinx and ekko recruited sevika and the others to fight for piltover after they'd already said no! why would sevika change her mind and help piltover fight?
because jinx told her isha died while they were fighting against the noxians and that's what led sevika to put aside her personal feelings about piltover to help them fight the noxians.
as for jinx's "death", there's three possibilities.
vi might've told her afterwards because she understands that sevika cared for jinx or sevika might have just straight-up asked her.
caitlyn would've informed the council about jinx's "death", even though she realizes that jinx is still alive, because jinx was classified as a high profile criminal and had escaped stillwater. sevika, being on the council, could have learned about it this way if not from vi.
or, like i said, jinx and ekko were the ones that recruited sevika and the others to help fight for piltover, and ekko knows that jinx and sevika worked together with silco for years. i'm sure ekko realized that sevika did care for jinx and would have told her after vi told him.
Yup. This notion that if we don’t see a character talk to another it never happened is such a bizarre concept to me. That’s not how narratives work. You’re supposed to be able to understand that characters still talk between scenes, and we don’t NEED to see every interaction. Especially not if we can infer what happened.
Also like… even IF Jinx doesn’t tell Sevika… the fact that Isha is not around and Jinx enters the fight with a war balloon painted to look like Isha… Sevika can put two and two together. You’re doing her character a MASSIVE disservice if you think she can’t figure out on her own that Isha is dead just from CONTEXT CLUES.
