hmmm, drawing parallel lines through the scales on your back. sinking my hands into the spot on your back where the lines were placed. digging around inside the muscles and skin. grabbing something firmly and pulling a set out of wings out through your back. sculpting them a bit and leaving you with a pair of iridescent black feathered wings.
aaggghhg ow ow fuck ow that's really good. flexing them clumsily and feeling how light they are is really throwing me off
hey, Sprite! I think I remember you knowing what groups the Chain was in before they met up and made, yknow, the Chain. If I recall correctly, it was Hyrule and Legend, and Twilight and Wild, but who was Sky with again?
The 40th anniversary post that Jojo did got me thinking about the beginning of the Chain, somehow! (Dynamics and all that - ARGH, I'm still losing my mind over that post!!! SO GOOD!!!!! AAAAUGHFDJKH IM SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEEEP)
Anyways, sorry to bother, but my sleep deprived brain chose you as the best source of knowledge. Also I really wanted to screech about the anniversary post... GAHHHHHH THIS IS SO COOOOL
Thanks!
Not bothering me at all! I love asks!!!
Sky and Four were paired together when they first met! As far as I know (I could be wrong, but I think everything points this way), the Chain met up in pairs of two at first and then converged in Time’s world, where they met … Time.😆 I love that setup bc the duos all seem to have been successors-predecessors or mentors-mentees, and we can even see how some of those early duo relationships have continued as some of the strongest in LU. Downfall Duo and the Wolf Cubs are the most obvious, but Wind and Warriors are underrated imo. For as much as Wind wants to be treated like an adult, he’s shown (very subtly) that he’s fine with Warriors being a big brother looking after him. I don’t imagine Wind would be ok with just anyone wrapping him up in a scarf/blanket/pelt with a mug of cocoa/some other drink.
And I’m screaming about that update, too!!! I think a lot of the fandom expected First to show up eventually, but actual confirmation?!?!?! And his DESIGN????? Dude is somehow even better than he is in the manga imo. I love love love that Jojo gave him a proper suntan, and it looks so good with his hair and outfit and everything!! I can’t wait to see how the group dynamics change with him—idk whether I’m more excited to see how he reacts with Sky or Time more. And seeing Hyrule opening up and being his awesome, confident self was so amazing! Still am not over Baby Hyrule, he was just so cuuuuute!!
Also, unrelated to any of this, even if you’re not on Jojo’s Patreon, you can go to it and see blurry previews of what she’s done there (I use it to get an idea of when the next updates are coming, hehe). Just … check out the post she did on Feb. 13. You can’t see much, but you’ll still know EXACTLY what the boys are doing, and it’s hilarious. Hope it goes public at some point!
Hi lovely Cha! I'm feeling mischievous tonight so it's difficult decision time!
So...you get a date with sweet Frankie but you're itchy all over and can't stop scratching, or a date with the dashing Harry Castillo but you've got the worst BO known to humanity. 😬
Tax for your troubles!
Mel you devil, how dare you?!!
I laughed so much when I read this. And then cursed you because what a dilemma! But ultimately, I will always go for Frankie. Did you ask for drabble? Maybe not but here it is.
Itchy for him | Frankie x gn! Reader | ~900 words
On your first date with Frankie you get a serious case of hives
Tw : description of hives so this might get itchy, but not too graphic. Fluff and comfort. Reader is abled body and has no gender or physical description. Please let me know if I forgot something
A/n: I will always pick Frankie. Also because I have a hard time imagining Harry being nice if I have a BO problem, especially because he'll take me to a fancy restaurant and I don't want to live that type of shame. And I went through a similar hives situation with my boyfriend at a dinner party so I relate very much with this reader.
You were nervous. This was first date for quite a long time and with a guy you crushed on hard. Even if it didn’t feel like a first date. You’d met Frankie at a fight. His friend was one of the fighters and you had bumped (literally) into him while getting a drink. Yours poured half on you and half on the floor. His, fully on him. The disaster soon turned into a nice chat after he offered to pay for your refill arguing it was his fault (it wasn’t, it was yours). The chat ended up lasting two drinks but eventually you lost him in the crowd when his friend started fighting, and when you left you couldn’t find him anymore.
The second time was pure luck. You went for lunch at your favorite sandwich place and he was there ordering some coffee after an early shift (he said he was a pilot, you couldn’t help but feel butterflies at the thought of him flying a helicopter). You ended up having lunch together and finally exchanging numbers. And a sweet little kiss by your car. Barely more than a peck on the mouth but a promise of much more.
So tonight didn’t feel like a first date because each encounter had been like one. But since this was official, it felt charged. And you really, really liked him.
As you got ready your nerves made you itchy. You tried to put this on the back of your mind while he drove you to the restaurant. Just a slight itchy hand. Maybe an allergic reaction to something you touched. It’ll go away after washing your hands.
It didn’t.
It got worse. You had a rash and it was spreading to your arms. Fuck this couldn’t happen now. You tried to think about something else, anything else. But it was hard. Frankie spoke and you barely listened, the discomfort consuming you all. Trying not to scratch, trying to concentrate on his soothing voice and beautiful mouth. But he noticed.
"Everything ok?"
"Yes! Yes i’m fine." Your smile was anything but assured, an open book of your uneasiness.
"You seem distracted and… your neck is getting all red…"
"Shit shit shit!" Tears threatening to fall as you felt the itchiness and heat spread on your skin, finally allowing yourself to scratch, a comfort lasting only a second. "I’m so sorry, I don’t know what’s happening, maybe an allergy ? It just itches like hell."
"It looks like hives."
"Hives ? I’ve never… what should I do ?"
You always prided yourself on being a very composed self assured grown up. But fuck, right now you wanted to cry and you didn’t know what to do.
"Let’s get you some antihistamines."
As Frankie asked for your food to be boxed and payed, you were trying very hard not to cry. Apologising profusely while he gently steered you to his car and slowly rubbed your leg bringing some comfort as he drove to an opened drugstore, telling you everything was fine. Taking charge as he first talked to the women at the counter, sensing your discomfort, explaining his guess and then letting you explain what you felt. The pharmacist gave you some medication and warned you might feel drowsy. You took it right away and Frankie offered to drive you home. The rest was a blur. You were indeed very drowsy. The medicine, the itch resorbing, the adrenaline slowly ebbing away, all of it combined, you barely stood on your feet and he almost had to carry you to your bed.
You woke up groggy early the next day. You mind a blur as you tried to remember. When it hit you, you covered your face in your pillow screaming
"Fuck, fuck, FUCK! Stupid!" You wanted your bed to absorb you into oblivion, to hid you from the world and a very embarrassing date with someone who will now never call you back.
"Hey is everything ok?" The voice startled you up and you realised you were still dressed like yesterday, only your shoes were taken off.
"Frankie! You stayed?"
"I hope it’s ok? I brought you back last night, you were pretty out of it. I slept on you couch. I just wanted to make sure you were ok."
You stare at him, stammering that you were fine and not itchy anymore.
"Great." He smiles gently at you. His hair tousled from sleep, eyes still tired, you wanted so much to hug him, feel his comforting arms around you like last night but with all your wits this time. You wanted to run you fingers in his curls. But you just stared at him, still shocked that he stayed when you thought he would have left to never see you again.
"I’ll let you rest then." You sensed his hesitation, like he didn’t want to go but is still unsure.
"Do you want coffee?" Blurting out anything to make him stay "Or breakfast?"
"I don’t want to impose." But he doesn’t move. He just looks at you, and you saw a ghost of a smile, your face mirroring his.
"Stay. If you want to. Let me make up for last night."
"You don’t have to make up for last night. It’s ok."
But he stayed for breakfast. And a quick shower. And for lunch and a movie. And for a kiss and so much more.
Hi, just wanted to say I love your posts, they have really been an eye-opener and it made me smile to know that we share the same understanding about the complexity of Tsukasa's character (I thought I was alone in that) I was always surprised when many commented him to be a rat or some sort of 2-dimensional villain, going far to say Hanako is the good twin. So seeing your in depth analysis is amazing. Not only that but you really pushed me into being more interested in their dynamic, the writing is really good. I saw someone say a tragic relationship between siblings is more heart breaking than a tragic romance between characters, and I've never felt how strong the truth of it was till now. And honestly I've never been interested in sibling storylines before (I only was interested in romantic ships, everything else was boring for me). I'm certain there are lots of people that appreciate your posts like I do!!!
On a side note, I've been wondering, I came across some art of the characters by an artist called @Iro x Naki, is that one of the author's separate art? I understand that Iro is the writer of tbhk. Maybe I'm just getting them confused, when I search on Google it sometimes says yes and the next no.
Hello sweetie!!!!
First of all, I'd like to say thank you, thank you, thank you!! >.<
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you're enjoying my posts!
And yes, Tsukasa is indeed someone who tends to be misinterpreted and judged (often just used to justify the murder that Hanako committed) by the fandom. Also considering his actions against Mitsuba, which caused the fandom to distance itself and not even consider analyzing him better.
There's a lot to say about him, a lot to discover. We know we can't close our eyes, that he has flaws, just like all the other characters, but we should try to see and understand him just like everyone else.
I've always been fascinated by trying to understand how HIM works, and how the dynamic between the twins leads us to see what they both had to go through to become who they are today.
So, I made many posts about the two of them XDDD
I'm happy to know that you're allowing yourself to experience new feelings for characters beyond just the couples. There are many interesting relationships and dynamics.
Hanako and Tsukasa… such a tragic and at the same time poetic bond. Always that doubt about how much love can or cannot be treated well. The dynamic of one who loves too much and another who tries all the time to hide their own feelings.
And thank you again!!! haha >.<
I hope so! I hope people are enjoying my posts as much as you are! (even though I haven't been posting as much because of the hiatus T^T).
Ohhh yes, Iro is the writer, and Aida is the illustrator.
I think that author you found likes to do fanart, just a coincidence of names. The art style is different from the original JSHK, although it's very similar. I found the profile on Twitter; it's a famous author, but probably not connected to Aidairo ^^
Aidairo's official profile says that their only original profile is the one on Twitter
Hi Sweetie! It's very kind of you to check in but don't worry I'm doing ok. I'm still on Tumblr daily dealing with my bazillion sideblogs lol. And I do post to my main sporadically but I'm just doing it privately so only I can see it because quite frankly I don't feel comfortable in the grunge fandom anymore so I thought that was for the best.
