Makki is on his soup bullshit again, Mickey is wondering what she did wrong in her life to happen to be at the supermarket during Makki's soup fixation yet again. She was only planning on buying some gum and skedaddling, they've been looking at soup for 15 minutes, someone help her. (I'm probably wildly mischaracterizing Mickey whoops)

@kingcrow01 another silly Mickey & Makki sketch since I remembered you said you were missing them a while ago lmao

disclaimer that yes I did use a photo I found on Pinterest and draw over it bc I am ✨lazy✨

okay let me pitch you a BATSHIT AU idea that i cant stop thinking about

sometime in middle school, Hinata finds a genie lamp that contains a Daichi-genie. Unsure what else he could possibly want, Hinata wishes for "a real team to play with, good enough to go to nationals' or something to the effect. Anyway, rule number one about genie magic is that you cant change the hearts of people around you, cant make anyone fall in love, etc. So Daichi cant just make a team. But. he is bound by his lamp to Hinata's whims, so he has to make this "wish" come true in some kind of tricky genie way. so now Daichi's stuck as captain of this fucking volleyball team trying to whip it into shape to make this wish come true because if he cant his lamp is gonna eat him for not obeying and while thats going on he's also trying to sway hinata into using one of his two remaining wishes to grant him freedom but its also against the rules to outright ask for that, and Hinata is so oblivious to everything thats not volleyball and cant decide on how to use his last two wishes and the entire B storyline is Daichi just trying to pretend to be a normal human but due to the circumstances of the wish giving him unprecedented freedom of body also getting a taste for what being a normal human is like and totally not falling in love with the cute human boy he recruited to this volleyball team and tonally speaking it would be mostly about the relationship of an idiot boy and his very tired magical genie dad.

which of the hq duos would fake date and why + would they be convincing

I dont think any of my usual duos would have a reason or inclination to fake date based on canon so I'll have to make up some scenarios to make a few answers

i think Tsukkiyama would fake date with the express purpose of pulling a "gotcha" on Hinata and/or Kageyama. like this is something theyre on the same page about - maybe Hinata is joking about none of them being cool enough to get a girlfriend and girls wont like them if they dont stop being so aloof and mean and Tsukki is just like "wow homophobic much? Im literally dating Yamaguchi" and hinata immediately panics and is like "WAIT WHAT NO I DIDNT KNOW THAT WHAT DO YOU MEAN-" and Yamaguchi is just shaking his head in the background like "come on hinata dont assume things" and Hinata is just "NO I DIDNT-" anyway they'd pull this off flawlessly and everyone would believe them and then like 6 months later Hinata would be like "so when did you and yamaguchi get together?" And Tsukishima would have no memory of this and go "uh?????????????????? What now????" And Hinata would say something insane like "im not asking to judge you im not homophobic i just am curious" and Tsukishima wouldnt have any idea why he's being cornered by hinata right now about being gay

i think mattsun and makki would fake date to throw off Iwa and Oikawa but they'd be way too over dramatic about it and nobody would believe them but theyd use it to mock and torment their friends. The kissing was weirdly realistic though they didnt have to do that.

i think daichi and suga might try for like an april fools prank or something similar where theyd be like "hahaha this is going to be so funny everyones going to be so shocked" and then literally nobody is shocked at all and everyone believes them immediately and then theyre just two dudes holding hands in the club room and eventually daichi says something like "is nobody gonna notice that we're holding hands what the hell" and without missing a beat Tanaka is like "is that not how you normally walk together?" And theyre both just like... NO? WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? anyway everyone would believe them but thats mostly because they were sort of already believing it before they even tried

i also think Tendou and Ushijima wouldnt necessarily fake date intentionally, but I think Tendou would tell people they are as a joke, and sort of be like "haha yeah thats my boyfriend youre talking about so be nice!!" Sort of as a bit where nobody believes him and hes not trying to convince them, just making fun of the fact that theyre really close friends. and then one day Goshiki wonders if Tendou isnt actually joking (would be just like him) and calls to Ushijima "Hey Ushiwaka are you Tendou's boyfriend?" And Ushijima would be super casual about it and reply something like: "What? Oh, yes." And everyone in the locker room starts freaking out because is Ushijima just making the same friend joke Tendou was, did he misunderstand boyfriend as Boy Friend, or is he actually dating Tendou and considers himself his boyfriend???? Tendou himself has no idea. they are so effective at fake dating that Tendou isnt even sure if it's fake or not.

pov: ur catsitting for ur brother and get to experience living alone for a couple days and the first thing you decide to do is stay up till 3am playing Infinity Nikki 👍

The CIA tries to kill Clark Kent, not because they know he’s Superman, but because he’s a really good journalist. They keep making it look like an accident, but every plan fails. It’s a comedy as the CIA can’t figure out why their attempts always go wrong.

The phandom returning to its roots of being a particularly loud and obnoxious fandom except now we're doing it with the explicit approval and enabling from dnp themselves, what a special time we live in

that chapter was so funny omg I need more beefy Felicia shenanigans😂😂😂 also AHHH YOUR ART STYLE AS ALWAYS IS *CHEFS KISS*

A huge Fel for Chapter 5 of Missing From the Photographs by @emmacortana, quite literally called Felicia Hardy is BUILT. Peter is a very lucky boyfriend.

Instead of having Peter here, I was going to make a separate drawing with all of their reactions. Tim and Duke would be clutching each other in disbelief, their jaws on the floor, Steph would be giving an encouraging double thumbs up with a shark-tooth smile, and Peter would just be smiling with his arms crossed. He never doubted her. She's so awesome. He is so lucky.

(also @gummieturtle this is totally your fault bc of the rec video you made about ch 10, I went through and re-read some chapters and now we have this. WHERE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY

Peter: *trying to act nice when Fury brings him onto an Avengers mission*

Also Peter: *immediately getting the ick and ditching as soon as they start arguing with each other like a bunch of school children*
