…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
To the guy that walked by my house today (twice) and heard me screaming ‘Hit ‘Em Up Style (Oops!)’ & ‘You Oughtta Know,’ I’m sorry. I found out that I was cheated on and went manic. (Bipolar things.🥰)
i might need a part 2 of streamer reader.... maybe this time she got casted as a voice actor for game/anime (whatever you choose) and while driving the others just keep asking to get into her radio to ask for a voice line
🌸 Y/N Is ALSO a Demon Slayer VA?!
(aka the 2025 grid absolutely spirals because their favorite streamer is now ALSO their favorite anime character)
PT 1
✨The Announcement Heard ‘Round the World
The Suzuka hotel room is quiet in the early morning.
You’re wrapped in a blanket burrito, hair messy, eyes half-open, chewing on a piece of melon pan like a cryptid. You haven’t even checked your email yet.
Your phone buzzes once.
Then twice.
Then violently, like it’s being sacrificed.
You blink yourself awake, squinting at the screen.
A notification from the official Demon Slayer Twitter account glows brightly:
✨ NEW CAST ANNOUNCEMENT ✨
Please welcome Y/N L/N as Shinobu Kocho 🦋💜
(English dub + special feature appearances)
You nearly drop your melon pan.
You:
“…They… posted it early.”
Your phone IMMEDIATELY begins vibrating again—
texts, emails, mentions exploding like fireworks.
You haven’t even finished chewing when you get a message from Ollie:
Ollie (6:02 AM):
ARE YOU A DEMON SLAYER CHARACTER?????
ANSWER RIGHT NOW.
You sigh into your pillow.
Yep. The day is already about to be a disaster.
🏎️Enter the Paddock: Chaos Pre-Installed
By the time you get to the Suzuka paddock, you can FEEL the tension.
It’s like the air itself is whispering:
“THE BUTTERFLY GIRL… SHE IS HERE…”
You swipe your pass, walk inside, and—
You stop dead in your tracks.
Because the drivers?
They are already waiting for you.
ALL of them.
Charles is pacing with his hands on his hips like a dramatic French aunt.
Lando looks like he’s about to physically combust.
Lewis is holding the official announcement printed on paper.
Carlos is muttering in Spanish that his sister will “never emotionally recover from this.”
Max is staring at you with narrowed eyes like you’re a scientific anomaly.
Ollie is practically bouncing on his toes.
And Daniel?
Where did he come from? No one knows. He wasn’t even racing this weekend.
They’re in a half-circle.
Like you’re a Pokémon and they’re trying to catch you.
You:
“…Why are you all standing like that?”
Charles IMMEDIATELY sprints up to you.
“IS IT TRUE?? Are you REALLY voicing SHINOBU? THE SHINOBU?”
You blink. Slowly.
“…Yes?”
The grid EXPLODES.
Lando:
“NO WAY—NO WAY—NO FREAKING WAY—”
Lewis:
“My kids are going to scream. Roscoe, too.”
Ollie:
actually jumps up and down like a 5-year-old
“YOU’RE BUTTERFLY GIRL. YOU’RE BUTTERFLY GIRL.”
Carlos grabs your shoulders dramatically.
“Mi hermana is your biggest fan. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!”
Max folds his arms, pretending to be normal.
“Say something. Do a line from the show.”
You:
“…No?”
“PLEASE,” Lando begs.
“JUST ONE. ONE LITTLE LINE.”
“It can’t be hard,” George says. “Just say something poetic and threatening.”
Franco already has YouTube open.
“Do the ‘moon is beautiful’ one.”
You stare at them.
They stare at you.
You realize escape is impossible.
So you sigh, press two fingers together delicately, tilt your head, and in Shinobu’s soft, airy, deceptively sweet voice—
“The moon is beautiful, isn’t it?”
Silence.
Then—
ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.
Charles: screeches in French
Lando: drops to his knees like you’re the pope
Carlos: paces in a circle, hands on his head
Lewis: “Wow. Wow. WOW.”
Max: actually takes a step back
Daniel: “I NEED TO SIT DOWN.”
Ollie: covers his face because he might cry
George: “UNBELIEVABLE. STUNNING. ICONIC.”
Mechanics and engineers stick their heads out from garages.
Someone drops a wrench.
Someone else crosses themselves.
You:
“…Guys. It’s literally just a line—”
Charles:
“NO. IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE.”
📸Media Pen: The Butterfly Apocalypse
You walk into the media pen like someone approaching a firing squad.
Journalists IMMEDIATELY descend on you.
Reporter 1:
“Y/N, is it true you’re voicing Shinobu Kocho?”
Reporter 2:
“Can you give us a demonstration?”
Reporter 3:
“How did this role come about?”
You open your mouth—
But behind you?
THE DRIVERS ARE LINED UP WATCHING.
Like kids pressing their faces to a candy store window.
Lando whisper-shouts:
“Do the poison line.”
Carlos:
“PLEASE. PLEASE DO THE POISON LINE.”
Max:
“Say something soft but deadly.”
Charles:
“Do the tea-house scene. DO IT.”
George:
“Say something inspirationally terrifying.”
You glare at them over your shoulder.
They all smile like demons.
So you give the reporters one delicate line, gentle and sweet:
“My, my… how troublesome.”
Journalists:
S C R E A M I N G
Drivers:
SCREAMING HARDER
The Demon Slayer fandom on Twitter:
ascends to the moon.
🏁 Race Day: The Grid Becomes a Shinobu Cult
You’re settling into your car when your engineer speaks.
Engineer:
“Radio check.”
You:
“Radio is good.”
There’s a pause, then—
Charles (over comms):
“Can you say a line? For the spirit of the race?”
You:
“What? No. Charles, no.”
Lando:
“I’ll give you my extra set of softs.”
Carlos:
“Mi hermana says please.”
George:
“It would be excellent morale.”
Max:
“Just do it so they shut up.”
You rub your face.
They will NOT leave you alone.
So right before the formation lap, in the softest, sweetest, deadliest voice—
“Try not to die out there, okay? I’d hate to be lonely.”
Over the radios:
Charles: SCREECHES
Lando: “OH MY GOD—OH MY GOD—”
Carlos: “I’M GONNA WIN FOR YOUR SISTER—”
Lewis: “Roscoe is wagging his tail.”
George: “Inspirational.”
Max: “Okay that was actually good.”
Race control literally has to tell them:
“STOP TALKING. FORMATION LAP.”
🎮 Twitch: Total Meltdown
Your next stream starts with chat already insane:
Chat:
“YOU VOICED SHINOBU??? HELLO????”
“YOU SAID THE MOON LINE IN THE PADDOCK AND BROKE THE GRID.”
“Lando on his knees was CRAZY.”
“Max looked like he saw a demon for real.”
“PLEASE SAY A LINE FROM THE SHOW—”
You bury your face in your hoodie.
You:
“I did THREE LINES. And they acted like they met God.”
Chat:
“WE WOULD TOO 💜🦋”
🦋 The Meme Era Begins
F1 Twitter promptly dies:
“Y/N saying ‘the moon is beautiful’ cured my depression.”
“Lando Norris hit the floor like he was worshiping at a shrine.”
“Carlos’s sister is THE LUCKIEST HUMAN ALIVE.”
“Max reacted like he got hit with a Genjutsu.”
“We need a Shinobu-voiced race commentary.”
A fan edit of you walking in slow motion with Shinobu’s theme goes viral.
hi, Uhm I had a request you can totally ignore it, and I can’t believe taht i would ever sent something vague like taht but here we are right? Anyway I wanted to ask if you could do like reader (no idea if driver or friend or sibling or reporter or so) is a superfamous streamer/youtuber, but like under some other name and with no cam. And she also maybe synced (probably also famous) anime/game or even movie characters and like the grid finds out maybe over a rookie or a fan kid(from one of the old videos or because in a voice crack she sounded like a character) asked her directly about it and for maybe a picture and autograph. And the grid loses their minds completely confused(or so- and a rookie admits fan hurling her from teen age on(when she started doing it for fun before f1-maybe even f3)and other (I would think Lando is the type to do that- stays up late just to watch those old videos and streams) Omg that is a long request I am super sorry
Y/N is ALSO a Super Famous Faceless Streamer?!
(aka the 2025 grid absolutely cannot process the fact that their new teammate is secretly their favorite streamer)
A/N: I might've used a little bit of Genshin Impact cus thats my fav game (I main Kazuha n wanderer n im in luv with zhongli).
PT 2
🏎️ Rookie Camp: Where the Domino Falls
Media week is finally over. The rookies—Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, Ollie Bearman, Liam Lawson, Franco Colapinto, Gabriel Bortoleto, and you—are herded into a lounge like schoolkids who just survived their first day of class.
Everyone’s tired, awkward, and trying to figure out who’s going to speak first without looking like a nerd.
Kimi is sipping water like a tiny mafia boss.
Isack is making half-baked jokes no one laughs at (yet).
Ollie keeps adjusting his shirt like it’s going to help.
Liam looks like he’d rather be anywhere else.
Franco and Gabriel are arguing in Spanish and Portuguese about who’s going to outqualify who.
And you? You’re leaning back on the couch, juice box in hand, scrolling your phone like nothing phases you.
Then Gabriel looks at you. Really looks. Head tilted like a hawk spotting prey.
“Hey, Y/N. What do you even do outside racing? Like, hobbies?”
You don’t flinch. Just shrug.
“Oh, you know. Gaming. Editing. Just… stuff.”
And Gabriel—the traitor, the absolute menace—squints harder.
“Wait. No, no way. Your voice— you sound exactly like Nyx.”
Silence.
Isack’s head snaps around so fast he almost breaks his neck.
Ollie drops his water bottle.
Liam freezes like someone pressed pause.
Kimi: “Who’s Nyx?”
And that’s it. The rookies unravel like yarn.
Isack: “NONONONO. Don’t tell me you’re Nyx. THE Nyx? Zhongli-Ramsay Nyx??”
Ollie: “I literally watched your Genshin fail compilation last week. That was you??”
Franco: “My friend made me watch your ‘Cars as Soap Operas’ video. Don’t tell me—”
Gabriel: “My cousin literally begged me to get her an autograph if I ever met you. And you’ve been here. Next to me. This whole time.”
Liam: “…I thought you were some 30-year-old dude with no sunlight.”
You: sips juice box louder.
“First of all, rude. Second of all, yeah. Surprise.”
Kimi, still calm:
“…so do I need to watch these videos to understand what’s going on?”
🎮 Rookie Meltdown
The rest of the day? Absolute chaos.
Isack refuses to stop asking you to repeat iconic Nyx quotes.
Ollie’s brain is short-circuiting.
Franco is already texting his girlfriend in all caps.
Gabriel is pacing, muttering about how he has to deliver the “autograph of the century.”
Liam looks like he’s having a crisis of faith.
And poor Kimi.
Still trying to Google “Nyx streamer genshin funny” on his phone while everyone screams around him.
🏎️ Enter the Grid
Of course, the rookies can’t keep a secret. You lasted all of two days.
Media day in Bahrain. Rookies spill it to the older drivers.
Suddenly? The paddock is on fire.
Charles: “Wait, wait, wait—so the voice that does anime memes with car crashes? That’s YOU?”
Carlos: “My sister has been quoting you for YEARS. And you didn’t think to tell me?”
George: “I literally used your ‘British people in anime’ joke in an interview once.”
Lewis: “Roscoe recognizes your voice. Don’t laugh, it’s true.”
Valtteri: “…I fell asleep to your Skyrim roleplay once.”
And then there’s Lando.
Lando, who has been secretly your biggest fan since he was 17.
The man who binge-watches your old streams at 3am.
The man whose sleep schedule you personally ruined.
Lando, practically yelling:
“WAIT. YOU’RE NYX?? I’ve been quoting you for YEARS. You’re the reason I’m late to sim practice. Do you understand what this MEANS??”
You: “That you have bad time management?”
Lando: “NO. That my favorite streamer is my coworker??”
Max, deadpan:
“…so Y/N is basically your kpop bias.”
Lando: short circuits
The whole grid: loses their collective minds.
📸 The Autograph Heard Around the World
Hospitality lounge, mid-afternoon. Everyone’s chilling. Or at least they were—until Gabriel slides a notebook and pen across the table.
“Hey. Sign this for my cousin? She’s your biggest fan.”
You glare daggers at him.
The whole room goes silent.
Lewis is filming.
Charles is whispering.
Lando looks like he’s watching the moon landing.
You sigh and scribble:
“To Gabi’s cousin — stay chaotic, love Nyx <3”
The moment the pen leaves the page, everyone erupts.
George: “THAT’S IT. CONFIRMATION.”
Carlos: “My sister will actually combust.”
Max: “Congrats, you’re now two people. Driver Y/N and streamer Y/N.”
💀 Media Day Fallout
It was only a matter of time before someone spilled it online.
And of course, it was Daniel.
He posts a blurry selfie captioned:
“Me and my teammate and also my favorite streamer 😏 Guess who’s who.”
The internet:
“THERE’S NO WAY Y/N IS NYX.”
“This explains why she’s so good at meme interviews.”
“She went from Skyrim chaos runs to Monza quali what the hell.”
“Imagine getting overtaken by your favorite streamer.”
“Do you think she’ll voiceover her own radio messages??”
Twitch chat the next time you miss a stream:
“bro she’s literally in Baku qualifying chill.”
🏎️ Grid Fanboys
From then on, the drivers are unbearable.
Charles: constantly begging you to dub Ferrari radio calls in anime voices.
George: “Can you do Toto as Yoda again?”
Carlos: now officially your older brother because his little sister is a Nyx stan.
Max: secretly caught watching your “Top 10 Gaming Fails” on the plane.
Lewis: insists Roscoe loves your voice.
Danny: buys Nyx merch and wears it in the paddock.
And Lando?
A menace.
Catches himself quoting your streams mid-interview.
Keeps sending you memes of yourself.
Gets caught in your Twitch chat at 3am Monaco time.
🎮 The Lando Incident
It’s a random Tuesday night stream. Chat scrolling fast. You’re reading donations when you notice a familiar username:
lando_n04: “hi nyx can you pls say ‘box box’ in anime voice??”
Chat: SCREAMING.
“IS THAT LANDOOOO???”
“NO WAY.”
“Get him off Twitch and into bed.”
You: laughing so hard you fall off your chair.
The next day in the paddock?
Max: “So. Anime box box?”
Lando: red as a Ferrari car.
You: evil grin, already plotting to make his life miserable.
📝 Meme Roundup
“She went from ‘hey guys welcome back to my Skyrim chaos run’ → ‘P1 in Baku’ real fast.”
“The crossover we never asked for: Nyx x Formula 1.”
“Imagine losing a podium to the streamer who made you laugh-cry at 2am.”
“She wasn’t hiding her identity badly. She just didn’t expect Franco Colapinto to have functioning ears.”
🎙️ Y/N’s Own Words
You finally break the silence on stream:
“Sooo yeah. Surprise. I’m Nyx. Also I drive fast cars now. Please stop asking if I’ll voiceover Toto Wolff—he scares me enough in real life.”
Chat: loses their minds.
Grid: loses their minds harder.
Fandom: collapses into chaos.
I just read your seventeen maknae reader adopting TWS AND I JUST NEED MORE OF THAT IM BEGGING YOU
🐥 “maknae of maknaes – part 2”
Summary: Y/N might be the youngest member of SEVENTEEN, but somehow she has become the unofficial leader, emotional support human, and snack provider for rookie group TWS. Now they follow her everywhere like baby ducks… and SEVENTEEN is slowly realizing they have accidentally become a very chaotic extended family.
Warnings: none. just ducklings, exhausted hyungs, and Y/N accidentally building a daycare center inside HYBE.
PART 1
THE DUCKLINGS DISCOVER THE PRACTICE ROOM
It started innocently.
Y/N had mentioned once—once—that SEVENTEEN’s practice room had better speakers than the other rooms in the building.
That was her second mistake.
Because three days later she opened the door to their dance studio and found all of TWS sitting neatly on the floor like they were attending a lecture.
Seven pairs of eyes turned toward her.
“NOONA!!”
She blinked.
“…why are you all here.”
One of them held up a sports drink like an offering.
“We brought hydration.”
Behind her, Dino leaned against the wall and whispered, “You’ve created a cult.”
SEVENTEEN WALKS INTO THE SITUATION
The rest of SEVENTEEN arrived five minutes later.
Seungcheol stopped in the doorway.
There were seven rookies sitting cross-legged around Y/N while she explained stretching techniques like a tiny dance instructor.
“Okay, listen carefully,” she said, pointing at someone’s knee. “If you don’t warm up your joints properly you’ll regret it in five years.”
The room was silent.
Everyone was listening.
Even Woozi.
Seungcheol slowly turned to Jeonghan.
“…why are there 6 children in my practice room.”
Jeonghan shrugged.
“Our maknae adopted them.”
DUCKLING BEHAVIOR LEVEL: MAXIMUM
Once practice started, things somehow got worse.
Because the TWS members began copying everything Y/N did.
She stretches → they stretch.
She drinks water → seven bottles open.
She ties her hair → suddenly there’s a hair-tie crisis.
Hoshi noticed it first.
“…they’re literally mirroring her.”
Joshua laughed.
“They think she’s the leader.”
Y/N clapped once.
“Okay! From the top!”
The ducklings immediately jumped to their feet.
Dino stared.
“…I trained under these people for years and they listen to you better than they listen to us.”
THE SNACK INCIDENT
After rehearsal, Y/N opened her bag.
Inside were snacks she had secretly hoarded for herself.
Granola bars. Gummies. Banana milk.
Immediately seven heads turned like radar.
“Noona…”
She sighed dramatically.
“You’re all terrible influences on my grocery budget.”
But she passed them out anyway.
Mingyu watched in disbelief as she distributed snacks like a kindergarten teacher.
“You realize,” he said, “you’re feeding an entire group.”
She shrugged.
“They’re growing boys.”
Seungkwan whispered, “You’re literally not that much older than them.”
“And?” she said.
THE VARIETY SHOW MOMENT
A week later, they all ended up on the same variety show.
The MC noticed immediately.
“Y/N, why are TWS members sitting around you like bodyguards?”
Because they were.
They had somehow formed a semi-circle around her.
One of them answered proudly.
“We’re protecting noona.”
The audience laughed.
Seungcheol buried his face in his hands.
“This is my fault,” he muttered.
THE DANCE CHALLENGE
During filming, the producers suggested a dance challenge.
SEVENTEEN vs TWS.
The rookies looked terrified.
Until Y/N clapped her hands.
“Okay ducklings,” she said calmly. “We practiced this.”
The entire SEVENTEEN team froze.
“…we?”
Then the music started.
And suddenly TWS executed the choreography perfectly.
Sharp. Clean. Confident.
Hoshi’s jaw dropped.
“WHEN DID YOU TRAIN THEM.”
Y/N smiled.
“Lunch breaks.”
Woozi stared at her.
“You’ve been secretly running a dance academy.”
THE FAN DISCOVERY
It didn’t take long for fans to notice.
Soon there were compilation videos online titled:
“TWS FOLLOWING Y/N LIKE DUCKLINGS FOR 7 MINUTES STRAIGHT.”
Clips included:
• them carrying her bags
• them cheering the loudest at SEVENTEEN stages
• one of them holding an umbrella over her in the rain
• another one running across the hallway just to give her a snack
Seungkwan watched one of the edits.
“…we raised a leader.”
Vernon nodded.
“She’s powerful.”
THE DAY THEY VISITED SEVENTEEN’S DORM
This was the moment things officially spiraled.
Because Y/N casually mentioned the dorm once.
“Yeah our couch is super comfortable,” she said.
That was all it took.
Two days later she opened the door to find TWS standing outside with snacks.
“…no.”
They bowed politely.
“Noona please.”
Behind her, Mingyu peeked out.
“…why are there six teenagers at our door.”
Y/N sighed.
“Field trip.”
SEVENTEEN VS THE DUCKLINGS
The dorm became chaos within minutes.
DK started teaching them vocal warmups.
Hoshi started teaching tiger poses.
Jeonghan started convincing them to prank Mingyu.
Within an hour the living room looked like a youth camp.
Y/N sat in the middle of it all eating chips.
“This is fine,” she said.
Seungcheol stared at the ceiling.
“I am aging rapidly.”
THE MOMENT THAT MADE EVERYONE SOFT
Later that night things quieted down.
The rookies sat around the living room talking.
One of them spoke shyly.
“Noona helped us a lot when we were nervous before debut.”
Another nodded.
“She always tells us we’re doing well.”
Y/N immediately covered her face.
“Stop being emotional.”
But the room was silent.
Even SEVENTEEN looked soft.
Joshua smiled gently.
“She does that for us too.”
Dino nodded.
“Our maknae takes care of everyone.”
THE REALIZATION
As they walked the rookies to the elevator later, Seungcheol crossed his arms.
“You know something.”
Y/N looked up.
“What?”
“You didn’t just adopt them.”
She tilted her head.
“…what do you mean.”
He gestured behind her.
Where the TWS members were waving goodbye enthusiastically.
MY NERVES ARE FLARING TF UP AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO CRAWL OUT OF MY SKIN. I DO NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL. I AM THIRTY SECONDS AWAY FROM THE LARGEST CRASH OUT OF THE CENTURY. AHHHHHHHHHH!
If you see the quote "I refuse to share my body with a man who wouldn't defend it politically" or any variation of it floating around the internet — it was Kat Blaque who originally said it and she would really appreciate it if people gave her proper credit for it but it's gone viral on a lot of different platforms and most of the people sharing it don't know it's from her or choose not to credit her on purpose.
hi this one's gonna be controversial BUT if you think disabled people shouldn't talk about their disabilities because it makes you "uncomfortable" you need to shut the fuck up and think about WHY disability makes you uncomfortable
I'm gonna add on to this with:
When someone is venting about their disabilities, chronic pain, or mental illness. Don't bring religion into it. I know that you mean well, but we're tired of it. Don't compare age, trauma, and pain to ours. I know that I'm young, but that doesn't mean that I am not in pain. Don't deny us our accommodations, tell us we don't need aids or any anything else.
- Kai, a bitch with chronic pain, mental illness, and a disability that's out to kick my ass.
People don't actually grow out of their emo phases. People are forced out of their emo phases by employers who get a raging boner over controlling how their employees dress, cut their hair, whether they mod their bodies and so on
How many beautiful emo men would we have if not for the tyranny of the 9-5. How many strange goth women are trapped inside the performance of a clean girl aesthetic because she needs to be able to eat. How many people are wage slaves when they should be punks?
A lot of people are talking about what you are and aren't allowed to wear but I think that issue is secondary to what you are and aren't allowed to do to your body. Like "you have to wear a polo shirt and dress pants" fine as long as you're paying for the polo shirts and dress pants I now need to buy. Whatever. "You must have natural colored and clean cut hair, no facial piercings, no visible tattoos" now we have a fucking problem because I also have to have that hair face and body outside of the workplace. it's literally pervert shit I've met 24/7 doms less horny about controlling how their subs look.
