First Love, Late Spring by miyachondria

Oikawa x reader, exes to lovers. “Oikawa Tooru’s eyes are still the same shade of honey brown, and you still fall in love the way you used to: hard, plummeting, like a burning comet making its way across the night sky.” Loved this! This is an exes to lovers fic, and typically i don’t love those. The way this was written changed my mind though. It was so romantic and beautiful. Completed

filed of flowers by sukirichi Kita x reader, strangers to lovers. You're a princess needing to flee to the country side due to some conflict, lucky for you there's a certain silver haired farmer willing to take you in. I loved this one!! (yes I know I say that about every single one leave me alone). But this was so bittersweet. As you know I'm a sucker for royal au's. This one has a sad ending though beware! Broke my cold heart :( completed.

What Comes With by rightplacewrongtime Ushijima x reader, established relationship. Ushijima really only cares about two things: His wife and volleyball. He sees no other things to really focus on aside from his friends as well. However someone thinks it'll be fun to weasel their way into his life taking his wife's place. He see's all the red flags everyone else is just so painstakingly blind to. OH MY GOD!! This one evoked so much rage in me. The fucking audacity of Tachibana?? Like who do you think you are?? I like this one but it makes me so mad. If you decide to read this please tell me about what you think of chapter 7. The thing that happens in that chapter made me go fucking ballistic. Once you read you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Ongoing.

The Gift of a Greek God (orphan account) Oikawa x reader, PINING!!, enemies to friends to lovers, fake dating. Oikawa Tooru, otherwise known as Eros, can get anyone he wants. Throughout the centuries no one has resisted him. Except one person, you. REINCARNATION AU! REINCARNATION AU! One of my favs!! This trope has a special place in my heart. Oikawa lowkey an ass in the beginning but he obvs grows on you. You will literally fall in love with him by the end. Completed.

i read somewhere that vikings used to gift new brides kittens and immediately thought of viking!simon and a little kitten

big man with small animal? absolutely yes i’m ovulating

c/w: none

you cannot and will not tell me that he will not pick the scrunkliest kitten known to man. little black scruffy thing tucked into his palms and he just puts it in your lap the day after your wedding. mumbles something about tradition before skulking off

he expects you to dump the thing on someone else, not even give little scruff a name. but to his surprise you’re absolutely in love with this little ball of fur. you don’t go anywhere without it, fashioning a little collar for it and speaking to it as if it were your own child

he doesn’t expect you to be in tears when you tell him that the cat didn’t come home last night :( that you’re worried a wolf got to it and you just miss your baby!

huffs and puffs as he hunts around the dark forest, looking for a kitten who may as well be invisible. breathes a sigh of relief when he finds the thing handing on a tree branch. he’d grab it by the scruff before beginning his trek back home,

“ya gave your mum a right scare. don’t do that again.” he’d grunt to the cat who just meows right back at him, tail swishing in the air

after Jason reveals his identity as the Red Hood i like to think about the kids begging for Jason to hang out with them and rejoin the family and that but Jason’s being a little bitch about it so when Dick asks for his phone number he just throws an ouija board at him and says ‘i’ll sense it’

issue is that while slightly drunk and sad that his brother hates him, Dick decided to try it out, and Damian watching him through a crack in the door thought it would be funny to text Jason (because he actually does have his league bro’s number) about it so that Jason could maybe mention it the next time they see each other on patrol to freak Dick out, except Jason was working not too far from the manor at the time and he thought it would be even funnier to swing by, slam up against the window and scream through the glass ‘STOP FUCKING DRUNK TEXTING ME’ and absolutely scares the shit out of Dick. so now Dick thinks that ouija boards actually work on Jason because he’s still part ghost and Jason and Damian are scrambling to try and keep up the ruse because of how funny it is.

GUYSSSSSSSS

GUYSSSSSS

THE PROTECTIVENESS??? THE POSSESSIVENESS RESULTING FROM THAT PROTECTIVENESS?????

"I'm the guy who steps in.."

THIS IS BEING RECORDED. EVERYONE IS WATCHING KACCHAN PLEDGE THAT HE'LL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR IZUKU SOMEBODY NEEDS TO FUCKING SEDATE ME

Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.

Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.

He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.

And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.

Loserlord indeed

A Day in the Life: Royalty

I get asked what a King or Queen went through on a daily basis. The answer is often a hard one as there are many different time periods to consider. I have narrowed down as best I can using the Medieval/Renaissance, the 18th Century and the 19th/20th century.

Kings/Sovereign

The King or Sovereign (its usually the same set up for a Queen Regnant, literally swap pronouns) would have a packed day ahead of them both personally and politically.

●A Mediaeval/Renaissance King would be roused from bed early by his gentleman and dressed for the day ahead. He would do some praying (though Henry VIII spent his praying time doing papers in his private box in the Chapel) and then have breakfast. Then he would either go hunting (a favourite pastime) or he would do some state business, meeting councillors, signing papers and meeting ambassadors and petitioners. Then when that was done, they would go visit their wives or mistresses (depending on the kind of man your King is). In the evenings he would dine and attend the court festivities.

●The 18th century King would be awoken as part of a performance. He would be roused by his courtiers and then dressed by them. When he was dressed and ready to go, the King would have breakfast, pray and then go about his hunting or his ruling (really Kings could be idle things). His day would be strictly regimented. It was said that any courier at Versailles knew exactly where their king was by the time. He would then go to supper, again before a large crowd or courtiers. In the evening he would attend the salons gambling or dancing or he would party with his mistresses in his private chambers.

●A 19th/20th century King would be awoken by a servant and then dressed. He would have breakfast usually with his family. He would then go about his state business  meeting councillors, signing papers and meeting ambassadors and petitioners. He would call into see his wife and kids before persuing his hobbies such as drawing or music. Nicholas II was fond of walking and outdoor pursuits. In the evening, he would attend supper with his family or before the court. If he chose to throw a court gathering, he would attend with his Queen.

Queen

The Queen is the wife of a sovereign (though this can be substituted for a guy) and had a less busy day than the sovereign.

●The Medieval/Renaissance Queen would rise late in the morning after their ladies who would awaken her early. Queens would dress and attend a religious ceremony (if there is one) as it was good to be pious. They would then have breakfast. The Medieval/Renaissance Queen would then visit their children if they live with them. They give charity to the poor and do charity work such as sewing shirts. Queens would likely hold court in their rooms, listening to court problems such as steward's accounts and greeting ambassadors. The would rest in the evenings listening to music, poetry or practise their dancung and go hunting. Queens will most likely change gowns before dinner and then sit at their husband's side. They would attend balls and entertainments. They then go to bed with their ladies to prepare for their next day.

●The 18th Century Queen would be awoken later by her ladies. She would suffer through a public dressing ceremony with her ladies and courtiers in attendance. She would go to religious ceremonies and then have breakfast before the court. She would spend her evenings with her ladies playing cards, gossiping and generally chilling. Most queens got very obese in this period as gowns were incredibly large and it wasn't seemly to exercise. They were couch potatoes for the most part. In the evenings, Queen's would publicly eat supper with their husband and then attend the court's goings on playing cards and dancing.

●The 19th century/20th century Queen would awaken early enough, not so late as their previous counterparts. They would dress and have breakfast, sometimes alone or with ladies or their children (children were raised with their mothers at this period). They would spend their evenings drawing, writing letters, sewing, card games and riding. They would usually spend time with their female relatives in the afternoon, going to visit them if they lived nearby. At the nights, they would attend balls and gatherings or if they wanted a quiet night which was far more frequent they would spend evenings with friends and family enjoying music or playing salon games.

Princess

Princesses live a charmed and privileged life in grand palaces that we can only dream of. However most princesses face a life of a regimental daily routine.

●A mediaeval/renaissance princess would likely rise very early to attend a prayer service. She would have her ladies dress her and she may even take a walk before breakfast. A mediaeval/renaissance princess would have lessons very early in the morning covering a wide range of subjects from religion to dancing.The mediaeval/renaissance princess would spend the afternoon with more enjoyable pursuits. She would do charity works, embroider, read and walk with her ladies. She would spend her evenings attending court festivities such as dancing and feasting. Princesses younger than fourteen would likeky not join in this for they were too young but older Princesses would be encouraged to join in at court gatherings as it was a chance for them to meet suitors and ambassadors.

●An 18th Century Princess would have risen later and had less regimental routine than the Medieval Princess but a more public one. The etiquette of Versailles had this ridiculous routine of the court crowding about the Dauphine (wife of the heir) and watching her ladies prepare her for the day. They would watch her get dressed (only ladies may view this), eat her breakfast and get her makeup and hair done. The 18th Century Princess would spend their afternoons doing something entertaining. They would play cards, gossip, sew, walk in the gardens and visit other female relatives. Their evenings would be filled with much of the same gossiping, dancing and gambling though they would watch the King eat his supper, standing around him as he ate. A princess at Versailles would be subjected to an evening with a public dinner before thousands, games of cards, gossip and dancing that could last well past midnight.

●More modern princesses (19th century) would have woken earlier than the previous century but not as early as the Renaissance princesses. They would bathe, dress and go to prayers before sitting down for a morning of lessons or to have breakfast. The 19th century princess would likely spend the afternoon having tea, playing lawn games, riding, going for carriage rides and other artistic pursuits. Queen Victoria’s daughter Princess Louise was an avid sculptor and loved her work even if nobody else approved. Their nights usually were reserved on an every day basis, spent in drawing rooms with family. Older princesses would be allowed to attend court gatherings, entertainments and balls where young princesses, under fourteen or so, would likely be sent to bed early. A quiet night would entail of piano playing and reading. If there was a ball, she would attend and dance with the society.

Prince

We sort of expect Princes to have a more privileged than their sisters but they often had a far more a regimental daily routine.

●A Mediaeval/Renaissance Prince would rise early and be dressed by his servants. He would go pray, eat breakfast and then attend lessons with tutors and masters at arms. In the afternoons he would hunt and hawk, usually spending time outside with his companions. In the evening, he would attend supper with his household or his parents if he was at court. If he is older than twelve, he would stay up to attend the dancing and festivities.

●An 18th century Prince would get out of bed and be dressed before a selection of courtiers. He would be given breakfast and then attend lessons. The afternoon allowed him to go riding or hunting or if he wished it, he could chill indoors with the court or his companions. He would attend supper with his parents if he lives at court or with his household and siblings if not. He would then play cards, drink, dally with the court ladies and dance.

●The 19th/20th century Prince would be awoken and then given breakfast. He would attend his lessons and then when that was finished the afternoon was his to do with. He would dine with his parents and attend family gatherings. If court gatherings and balls occurred, he would be there.

genuinely it will never stop baffling me how people will wear twilight shirts and talk about team Edward vs team Jacob and then the same people will be like "I'm not basing my personality off of a piece of media (harry potter) made by a transphobe 😌" like good that's great! so you can excuse racism but you draw the line at transphobia? good to know

no offense but if your friend is trying out a new hobby be fucking nice to them
