Simon obviously knows how to read. He has to for reports, for certain things in his day to day jobs. But the more he interacts with civilian life, the more he's hit with the harsh realization that he's very bad at it.

He remembers learning the ABCs and sounding out words with the rest of his class, but no one had time to read to him at night. His education wasn't a priority at home, and he was suffering the effects as an adult.

"Excuse me?" He looks down at you with wide eyes and a flushing face, feeling incredibly out of place between the library shelves. "Need help finding anything?"

"Something for beginners?" He chuckles humorlessly, but you smile so sweetly he feels a little lighter. He leaves the library with a few books that are geared more for children, and your phone number tucked into his pocket.

A few years down the line, he reads quietly to your daughter. The baby girl sprawls across his chest, suckling his chain lazily as she listens to his voice. He read to her every day. Every morning, every night, and even before her afternoon nap.

He wouldn't let what happened to him happen to his baby girl.

loser!simon riley who doesn’t know what flowers to get for a date, so he either buys the biggest bouquet ever cause he thinks normal ones aren’t enough, or he picks them himself

send tweet.

(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

thank you for this...ohmygod. this one i have MANY thoughts on, enough to warrant like four individual posts idk because this has me thinking about all 4 of the boys. i think it's like, a scale. on one end you have picking flowers themself, and on the other is buying a huge bouquet.

you're right, simon would absolutely be such a loser and so like. inexperienced in properly dating someone that isnt like. in the military, and he wants to get you a gift so bad! he'd be like discharged and in his thirties and picking your favourite flowers becausey you mentioned you liked them. i don't think you'd be really picky and mention something that grows a lot like hydrangeas or dasies and he just picks them and wraps them in a bouqet for you.

kyle would also appreciate something like this, except you're a little bit more high maintenance and he's more used to dating outside the military. instead you're the less flashy one, you have a pollen allergy and to fix that and bring some colour into your home he buys you succulents and cactuses. something small and green that flower once or twice a year that don't set you off but make you smile.

johnny's a loverboy at heart, but he always gets so sad when he has to go off to deployment and realises that the flowers he bought you will melt. lucky for him he grew up with three sisters, and you pick up things here and there. and he picked up crocheting, and on god will he crochet you flowers for you to keep forever, even when the channel incident happens.... :(

john is a gentleman, he pulls out your chair on dates and he pays for your dinner and he always gets you a big bouquet of roses. before the dates, when you meet him at his house for nights in. he'll order roses for you at work, with cute little notes. he loves you so bad, and he knows red roses are your favourite.

I need more Shen brothers fics where people underestimate SY.

SJ is the sharp-edged brother, cold... and the perfect decoy. People take note of him, are cautious around him (with reasons, SJ is very much a dangerous opponent). But people lower their guard around SY as a result.

SY has a warmer and kinder presence than his brother, he smiles and wears softer outfits. (He learnt from Qi-ge the nonthreatening smiles and posture to put people at ease).

And SY is kind, mind you. That's not a complete lie. He still has modern day sensibilities about education, childcare, etc. But he was an internet troll and a CEO in his previous life. He knows how to demolish a person without ever having to use violence or rising his voice.

It's a Shen Yuan who tears people into pieces with an affable expression locked in place, as if delivering advice rather than devastating criticism. No one can complain about his words when they're delivered with grade-A customer service smiles.

Someone offends him or talks shit about his brother. A week later that person's dirty laundry is exposed for everyone to see, reputation in tatters. By week two they've somehow gone bankrupt. (Also, I need An Ding and Qing Ding to have an alliance. Strategy and logistics go hand in hand. Along with a nice network of merchants and prostitutes to gather information. The potential here is awesome).

In private, with people he trusts, SY is 100% a gremlin though. And on topics that aren't political, important, or personal he'll still rant angrily for hours. (Someone put TLJ, SQH, and SY in a room to have them talk about bad literature for hours. Liu Mingyan as well while we're at it).

Little Snippets #1

"Father, please do not scare the children."

"FATHER?"

Alfred let out a sigh at the children's reaction as well as his own fathers sheepish laugh as the man scratched the back of his head. Once more he couldn't help but marvel at how young his own father looked. But then again the fact that his father was by now a timeless being and rule of an entire realm likely contributed to it. He glanced at the still shell shocked children and stoic Bruce, a part of him took a bit of pleasure in their shock.

"Master Bruce, may I introduce to you my father." Alfred hummed indicating to the floating man with blazing white hair and glowing green eyes in regal clothing, well aside from the damned jumpsuit his own mother had never refrained from complaining about.

"Daniel James Fenton." The butler continued eyes crinkling with a smile as he watched his charges. "Ruler of the Infinite Realms."

"Just Danny is fine. Honestly it must be your mothers influence with how formal you turned out Al..." The man, Danny added reaching a hand out to ruffle Alfred's hair that Alfred sidestepped. Not because he didn't like his fathers show of affection, no because he had appearance to uphold and he didn't need to shock the children any more than he already had.

"T-that must be a joke, right Alfie...?" Jason spoke up being the first one to regain his ability to speak coherently.

"I am afraid not Master Jason. This man is indeed my father." Alfred hummed amused, he would think that with their near daily dealings with villains, aliens, supernatural and other beings they would be less shocked. But as it seemed his family didn't seem able to warp their heads around this. Surely they must have suspected some sort of supernatural connection to him, after all how do they think he was able to keep the entire Manor as clean as it is? He had his pocketwatch from his grandfather as his secret weapon after all.

Alright now that I got the fic out of the way, an idea I had while writing it

Y'know a trope I love? Time travel. Any kind of time travel. But in this particular case: kids travel back in time and meet younger parent trope.

I'm just imagining Ursaal and Onaan on a mission, fighting some bad guy when they get flung into the past (and teleported) to Viltrum pre-Scourge Virus.

The two end up somewhere in front of the palace, and obviously a lot of people saw them, enough to start a commotion and get Thragg coming out. And what does the Grand Regent see?

Two almost identical young Viltrumites wiping the floor with anyone who tries attacking them.

He observes for a bit, watching how easily they deal with everyone, tanking attacks... just like he would.

His eyes narrow.

"Enough!" His voice rings out, and everyone falls into line. Except for those two.

Because while they're on edge and confused about where they are, they recognize their dad's voice anywhere.

Cue Thragg getting swarmed by them, two barely-past-adulthood Viltrumites buzzing around him and calling him dad of all things.

He has half a mind to punish them for the insolence.

But they do resemble him.

And Kregg did report they appeared out of a portal. So perhaps...

I imagine after that Thragg takes them somewhere private to be interrogated... except his kids aren't afraid of him so any intimidation tactics just... fail. And despite himself, something stays his hand from a hands-on interrogation.

It's just because they're the first twins born in some time, he tells himself, unaware that just a few soft looks brimming with love and an affectionate title have already sunk their hooks into him.

I don't know what would happen next but they'd probably stick around for a bit and give Thragg all the tea about mom (you) and how much he loooves you. Which he obviously refuses to believe because he doesn't do love. It's a weakness, unnecessary!

(Meanwhile Ursaal and Onaan are practically cuddled in his lap as they tell him about their life (at his insistence).)

A future concept of Marian. What if, as Marian got older, she molted her horns and the scales grew on her ears. What do you think? Does it suit her well?

Hm..

You've been rewatching the anime 'Jujutsu Kaisen' again for the fourth time, there is this certain charm about this series that just makes you keep watching and returning to the anime despite the manga being finished.

There has been something off with the characters lately. At first it was small, subtle gestures at could only be recognized with second glance at the screen again. You think nothing off it, a flicker of light, a trick made by your mind.

The first character you notice is Gojo Satoru. The stellar person who stole the show from the mc. Despite being the playful, strongest sorcerer he is, there has been subtle looks in your direction. Waving and winking whenever he doesn't have his blindfold on, it just makes your mind go blank whenever he does these small gestures. And when he speaks, it seems to always be directed towards you, it's always silent- like it isn't a voiced line. The captions don't help.

Another character you notice is Yuji Itadori. The lovable main character you adored very much. His stares are more direct, like he is really staring into your soul. It's creepy. He also seems to brighten up when ever he comes into view, or, I guess, when he spots you. Yuji also tries to talk to you like gojo, but again, nothing comes out of his mouth.

Geto Suguru. Another character despite being from the movie, who show signs like the others. Wandering eyes in your direction. Waving, glancing, winking? Are you eyes still playing tricks on you? Geto only talks to you one time, but it seems he stopped once he realizes you don't actually hear him. But the glances just keep continuing.

Are they sentient perhaps? You've seen other instances of fourth wall breaking but those ones we intentional. Ingraved into the character, but these ones seem unintentional.

Other than that, the anime goes just like how it is. Same storyline, same characters, same everything. Maybe your just imagining things, or you've gone peak delusional to the point where the characters are interacting with you. You'll ignore it for now, but the nagging feeling in your stomach cant seem to go away.

A/n: random blurb idea lmao, does this count into the sajjkau series????? (self aware jjk) not proofread, no beta, we die like... Toji?
