I’ve seen an ongoing thing here on tumblr recently….
Why is there suddenly a whole lot of fanfics infantilising reader? And while it’s not a new thing, it’s a bit scary to see. Like the fics could be amazing pieces of art, until those very specific acts that really get on my nerves….
If you’re curious on what acts im talking about, here’s a few examples. Brace yourselves.
Stomping her foot the same way a child does when they don’t get what they want..
Pouting excessively (she look stupid btw)
That god awful combo where she crosses her arms, turns her head to the side and “hmph!”’s 💀 oh and also expecting her partner “figure it out”…
Stands on her ‘tippy toes 🥺’ to kiss her man’s… 🤢
Clingy grabbing
Hiding behind their partner when shy…
Constant blushing
Constant clumsiness
Wears short short skirts.
Now let’s move on to descriptions that are lowkey infantilising. Both physical and personality wise.
Her being extremely helpless (I.e not being able to reach things, carrying stuff, etc..)
Codependent, cant do shit herself (minus aura)
Physical attributes most grown women don’t have (I.e. tiny hands, small body, big innocent eyes, soft baby face, etc)
her constant need to be saved…
Trying to make her dense, but write her as innocent instead???
Comparison to fragile things, like a porcelain doll.
Being manhandled way too much.
Oh and for the love of god, STOP DESCRIBING READERS EYES AS DOE EYES, EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT EYE SHAPES. If you want your ml to compliment readers eyes just describe it as “beautiful eyes”. Don’t go into details.
Hey gorgeous ❤️ I just found your account after coming from Wattpad, and omg??? Why aren’t these short drabbles on there 😩😩 They’re literally so beautiful. And at this point, I swear you’ve become the official ambassador of Rehman and Ulfat in the softest, most adorable teddy version ever 🧸😭😭😭
Awwww 😭😭
Thankyouu jaan ❤️❤️🥺🥺🥹, you literally made my day.
Brand ambassador of rehman and ulfat as teddy version 👀 I think I can start my own business then 🤭 selling their teddy versions isn't a bad idea 👉🏻👈🏻
Kylo thinks you’re adorable, too innocent for this world, he found you one day at an underground auction, completely unaware of what was happening, you were a jolly thing, truly, too trusting and too nice. You’d been scammed and taken advantage of far too often and lastly you ended up in this place, locked in a cage and on display for all the wild animals people call men. He was there on business, trying to find some relic but when he walked past you he had to do a double take. How could a sweet pretty thing like you be in a cage? He kneeled down, making himself smaller and less intimidating, in hopes of not frightening you and it worked. With a small voice you greeted him, a smile on your face as if nothing was wrong. Kylo was utterly baffled, did you not realize what was happening? He asked if you knew why you were locked up but and you answered truthfully, you didn’t know, but it wasn’t that bad. You told him not to worry and that you were fine but that just made him worry more. He decided that you were too much of an angle to be placed into some slavers hands or worse, you weren’t the type of girl that should be kept on a leash by perverts, so he made up his mind and bid on you.
And he won easily and the auctioneer must have thought he bought you for pleasure because as you were brought out to him, kylo noticed instantly that you were stripped of your clothes that already barely covered anything, you were just wrapped in a ribbon. Literally, the wrapped a pale pink, thick ribbon around your chest and hips, he did have to admit that you looked utterly adorable and the least bit seductive, but this wasn’t the place. As soon as they did the hand over, he slung his cape around your shoulders, almost swaddling you like a child, making sure that you were completely covered from head to toe, but that brought another problem, you could barely walk, being wrapped up in the thick fabric, so Kylo did the next best thing, ha asked if it would be okay for him to carry you, patiently awaiting your answer. Of course you agreed and you were all smiles, he carefully picked you up and carried you off onto his ship.
Now a couple months had passed, you grew close and somehow got into a relationship. You were still as oblivious and innocent as ever, seeing the best in everyone and everything. That’s why Kylo had to keep a close eye on you, mostly he would tell you to stay in his quarters and you followed everything he said, laying your complete trust in him. You stayed and tried to occupy yourself, fortunately Kylo gifted you lots of activities! To Kylo they seemed utterly childish and useless, but he saw how much joy they brought you so he couldn’t help but get you new things every time they made a stop. You asked for things like colouring books and coloured pencils or markers, other times for fabric and sewing needles and another for pearls and beads. He got you everything he could get his hands on and he loved watching you use his gifts. Sometimes when he finds the time, hell check on you over the cameras, only to find you colouring something on your shared bed, he can never stifle his smiles as you remind him so much or his childhood. His life was hard, honestly, he was thrown into training early on and it really heals his inner child whenever you ask him to join in and he can’t refuse his darling, can he? So he ends up helping you color in a random sketch or outline, his hands are rough and a little clumsy, not used to the small movement but he really does enjoy it and he loves when you finish your drawing and stick it in your folder.
There have been a couple incidents where you started wandering, often bumping into troopers and starting conversations with them, at first everyone thought that you were an escapee and they dragged you back to a cell, but you never complained, they were just doing their job after all! And oh boy, that gave Kylo a scare, he came back to his empty rooms and panic flooded his systems. Where the fuck were you? He grabbed his sabre and rushed down halls and corridors, trying to find you. That’s until he overheard a pair of troopers talking about a cute girlish prisoner and he instantly knew they were talking about you. He rushed over and rescued you from that uncork cell and you were so happy to see him, you were so bored in there, and the people next to you were so loud as well! After that, he made you Promis to tell him whenever you go wandering and he made you promise to wear a little pendant that had a tracker built in, he explained that it was for whenever you got lost or needed his help, you just needed to tap the back a few times and he’d know.
You’re the only one who gets to call him Kylo and you’re the only one he’s gentle with. He’s practically forced to be soft with you, how can he refuse you when you ask for a piggyback ride? Or when you ask for hugs and cuddles so adorably? How can he refuse you when you want to braid his hair and how can he say no when you want to Rey your hand at baking with him? You’re basically a princess and you get to do anything and everything you want to. He lets you dress however you want, if that cute frilly dresses or his shirt and pants, the only rule is that you have to change out of you pyjamas. But oh how he loves when you wear his clothes, you look so adorable! Completely dwarfed and stumbling over the fabric, your soft hair flowing over your shoulders as you try to roll up the sleeves of his shirt. He almost dies of cuteness overload every time.
Sometimes you decide to accompany him to the gym, where he decides to show off a little, you tell him how he makes it look so easy and that you want to try too! Then you’re hanging off the pull-up bar as you try to force your muscles up, you manage one but your struggling real hard with the second one, Kylo always gives you a little push, telling you that you’re doing such a good job and you really feel proud after your one and a half pull-ups! You sit down on one of the mats and watch as he does about fifty at an amazing speed, your eyes trail a little lower and you watch his tank top kling to his chest tightly, showing off all his muscles as they flex, you cant help but drool a little, how is he so handsome? Of course Kylo notices your little flushed cheeks and he feels proud, proud that you find him attractive, he finishes his work out and moves on to his sabre. He notices that you seem curious about it so he offers to let you hold it and you almost jump at the chance. He tells you to stand in front of him as he wraps his strong, large hands around your soft ones, helping you hold the sabre, then he ignites it. Red light ans a buzzing sound fils the room as you gasp in amazement. Kylo guides your movement with precision as you swing it around, careful not to hit anything. His chest is pressed up against your back and his nose nuzzled into the crook of your neck, giving you little kisses.
You truly are the perfect partner for him. His complete opposite but perfect for home, like two sides of the same coin.
Hi, can you make a metal cardbot season 1 and season 2 x kid reader platonically? So Deus Machina some way somehow created a humanoid alien that is the prince of Machina and he travelling with to space to find a new home for the metal cardbots just in case Machina exploded, he landed on earth and fell in love with a female human.
The prince left to space for a few months to give Machina the news that his love was pregnant, but sadly the prince died sacrificing the last escape pod to Blue Cop as Machina annihilated. And his day of death was the same day as the baby was born and his love also lost her life because of the childbirth.
The baby grew up in the woman's family house but was treated bad because they despise the the woman. And that baby was the reader, at the age of 7 reader ran away from her mom's toxic household and went to Motown. She met Kent and he became her friend and that's how she met Jun and his friends.
Reader had alot of trauma of meeting new people because of her toxic household, so she was scared at first. She was found by Kent sleeping at the street, she was malnutrition.

reader's left eye is her mom's eye colour and her right eye is her dad's eye colour, she has her mom's hair color and her shy but sweet personality.

Reader suddenly learned that she has darkness and light powers from her dad's genes, Blue Cop was fully sure that reader was the lost princess of Machina.
Ok this request makes no sense to me but i'll try, and i might change some things in the plot so the story make some sense.
Lost Princess
Metal Cardbot x Human Fem Kid Reader [ Platonic ]
[ Part 1 ] , Part 2
Warning: mention of child abuse, but Fluff at the end.
You hated it, the constant yelling, the pain, and the reminder of your failler.
You hated living here, in your so call aunt house, but where could you go, your just a little kid, no older that 3, and you can hardly go a day without being yelled at for even living.
And when you turn 7, you have enough of it all, and flee from the place that have cause you nothing but pain.
You walk for days, only stopping to rest and find any food or drinks, then back to walking.
You didn't know where to go, only thing you know is that anywhere away from that hellhole was better than getting lost in an unfamiliar city.
You crawl into an empty box, grabbing a nearby newspaper to cover your cold, and shaking body, it wasn't the best spot to rest, but you have no choice, so you suck it up, and try to sleep.
Not long after you fell into a dreamless sleep, a little boy, probably near your age, was playing with his friends, throwing paper airplane around as a women watch over them with care in her eyes.
When the same boy accidentally thor his airplane a bit too hard, it landed near your sleeping form, still shaking from the coldness.
When the boy saw your trembling form, he hurriedly run over to where the woman was sitting, and told her about what he saw, and the woman waist no time in finding you, and broth you to a nearby hospital.
---------
To say you are scare when you woke up in an unfamiliar place, was taken it lightly.
You are tariffed for your life, screaming when you though you are going to be punished for running away, but surprisingly enough, you didn't get a belt in the face for screaming, only a soft touch of a hand that belong to the same women that have broth you here, now looking at you with a concern look in her face, not one of anger or hatred.
The woman, which you learned of her name was Mona, adopted you as her daughter once she learned of your back stories, feeling bad for you, she promise you that she won't hurt or make you cry, and you trusted her.
With that, a year have pass since the day your life took a turn for the better, and you love it, your now adopted mother Mona, have treated you with nothing but love and care, only telling you to take care of yourself, and being passion with you when your learning new things you are not familiar with, and congratulating you when you got the hang of it.
You love her like a mother you dream to have, and you finally have it, showing your love and appreciation to her by drawing you two holding hands, and showing it to her on her birthday.
That was also the best birthday she have, now knowing how much you love her as your mother, and the fact that you two run around playing tag, all while having fun, shows how much you have change from your early years.
You also meet the boy that found you in the first place, you two slowly becoming best friends as you, and him play with his group of friends.
You have trouble talking to the group at first, but soon started becoming more comfortable with each passing time.
---------
Being a single mother, Mona bring you with her everywhere, you are a well behaved kid, never giving Mona any trouble with her work, only following her around, and play with the kids when the daycare opens.
It was during the weekly daycare trip to the workshop that you meet Jun, and his friends.
You are one year older than the children in the daycare, which means you are a bit taller than your best friend kent, you didn't have as much enthusiasm as the rest of the kids, so you stay with your mother the whole time.
Fortunet for you, Jun notice you, and decided to befriend you, thinking you are one of those kid who have no friend.
After a few weeks of getting to know Jun, you started asking your mother to drop you there when she have extra work to do, and she was happy to see you and Jun getting along as friend.
Blue Cop meet you by accident when he thinks you are not here, and transform in front of you, making you jump in surprise and awe.
Blue Cop was scolded by Jun for recklessly transforming in front of you, all while you were being carried by Siero, having no need to play pretend, and happily lifted you with his servo.
Surprisingly, you didn't shy away from the Cardbot, as much as you shy away from other people your age, or older.
Being a kid, you are always being pamper by the other cardbot, your cuteness really help with making them want to squeeze your cheek.
---------
You have different color eyes, the left one being your mother's eye color, and the other one being your father's light blue one, almost seem like it was glowing.
Blue Cop was wondering if he have meet you before, because he felt a sense of familiarity coming from you, but he can't jump to conclusion of you being the daughter of his dead friend.
Maybe he should keep a close optic on you just in case.
Your sweet words make his heart skip a beat, but he'll never show it
Tries flirting to fluster you so you don't notice how flustered he himself is
Your just so unconditionally sweet to him for no reason, his heart can't take this!
Would 100% die for you
"You baked these cookies for me? A shame they'll never be as sweet as you!
(*Internally cries inside because you're so cute!*)
You always pick flowers to give to him, he flower presses them into a special book just for them
He keeps the book at his bedside table, had one flower pressed flower in his wallet :)
Childe
Doesn't believe your actually this nice at first.
You made him some cupcakes? Are they poisoned?
Doesn't show he doesn't believe you though
Might take him awhile to actually believe you
He finally gets it after you take care of his wounds after a fight.
Why aren't you giving him a disappointed look? Him, a harbinger, got injured in a fight. Why aren't you berating him to do better?
You didn't even leave him after you knew his profession!?
Instead you just gave him a kind smile while telling him not to go so hard on himself. You take care of his wounds so carefully, and your touches are so delicate.
At that moment he wanted to cry
Instead he let you finish up, then he took you out for a meal
Will 100% protect and look after you
Lisa
Omg she loves you!
Thinks your the biggest sweetheart <3
You often bring her some tea while she's in the library, and you always make it so well!
She doesn't know how you make the tea, but it's literally perfect
Just the right amount of sugar and everything!
If you and her read something together she will melt!
She always recommends books to you
"Hi darling, I think I've found the perfect book for you. You'll love it!"
If you give her a pet name as well, she'll just start planning the wedding
(Please call her your love, she's read too many romance novels!)
Hope you enjoyed this! Tell me which characters you want for part 2! :)
I was wondering if I could request a Bakugou x reader where the reader is super soft/shy and has a cutesy aesthetic (like pastels especially pink, frilly dresses stuff like that)
Only if you're comfortable with it though!!!
(Sorry if this doesn't make sense or makes you uncomfortable!!)
Thank you so much:) <3
You are so kind! I am having a wonderful day! I hope yours is well, too. Headcanons here we go!
Bakugo With A Cutesy GF HCs
Everybody is shocked with your relationship. How could he date a wonderful, very cute, frilly and pink girl like you? How could you date a terrible, very angry, loud and obnoxious guy like Bakugo? It was all so strange for them.
But you and Bakugo seemed happy.
Sure, he didn’t like pink as much as you, but he thought those frilly dresses and cute pastel colors were adorable on you. They made you look so innocent and soft. Seeing those in you made him so calm.
He loves to cuddle with you when you're spending time together. Watching movies or cuddling with him to watch him play games.
Your room is very pink, too, but he doesn’t care. Why would he? It’s not his room. He doesn’t live in it. He could care less about the color and girly things that sprawled all over the room.
What he loved most was your underwear. He’s never seen it on you, yet, but he sure has seen it in your drawer. He wasn’t being a disgusting underwear thief! You asked him to grab you some socks from the drawer, and he saw the cute frilly underwear. Honestly, he couldn’t stop thinking about you being in that underwear for the rest of the day. You would be so cute wearing those for him.
Either way, he loved how soft and sweet you are to him. When he was angry in public, your soft hands squeezing his immediately calmed him down.
And he’s glad you don’t make him come into the girly stores with you. You allow him to sit/stand outside while he waits for you.
He thinks it’s cute with how shy you are with his friends and strangers. You’ll slightly hide behind him, holding his hand or arm, as if he was going to leave you. He always reassures you that he’s not gonna leave and will help you with anything.
