Can I Request A (post Redemption) Fluffy & Flirty Lmk Macaque X Fem Reader? (A Oneshot Or Scenario, Whichever

Can I request a (post redemption) Fluffy & flirty lmk Macaque x fem reader? (A oneshot or scenario, whichever one you prefer.) With reader being the daughter of a Demon of Music/the arts. (Plus she’s good friends with the hero gang)

but Macaroni didn’t know that she could sing (or that she has feelings for him) until Everyone’s at a party and she steps up to the stage. And he’s just like 🤯😍

But when the party’s almost over she starts singing “Love you like a love song” by Selena Gomez. All while looking directly into Mac’s eyes with a hopeful blushing smile on her face.. because she was far too nervous to confess to him any other way..

When I was a kid, Love You Like A Love Song was my JAM so this is all kinds of nostalgic for me 😍

"Love Song" (1488 w.c)

Post Redemption! Macaque x Fem! Reader

Romantic oneshot

Pronouns: she/her

CW: none?

Tonight was your night. You were dressed to the nines, with your hair and makeup done and by the gods, you were on a mission. Tonight was karaoke night with the gang, which included Sandy, MK, Mei, and as extra supervision, Macaque.

You’d had your eyes on the dark haired monkey ever since he started showing up on a consistent basis. You two had some common interests and he admired your spunk, opting to playfully flirt with you often. You rarely flirted back efficiently, however his reaction was always a laugh or tripping, so you honestly had no idea if he understood that you were being genuine.

So your goal was to pick your favorite love song and sing it just for him, and hope that those six ears would actually listen rather than just hear.

You and the others entered the place and found Sandy and Macaque, who had gone in to reserve your spot. First, you all ordered some stuff to eat and drink, before you started picking out the songs you’d be singing. Macaque insisted he’d just be on the sidelines tonight, since he’d already been using his voice doing his shadow plays earlier in the day. So MK and Mei went first, and you all had a good time as they sang their hearts out. Sandy and MK did a joke entry of “I’ll Make A Man Out of You”, which they did great with. Then it was your turn.

To say you were nervous going up to the microphone was an understatement. But the music began and you gulped as you cast your gaze at the screen for now.

It’s been said and done

Every beautiful thought’s been already sung

And I guess right now, here’s another one

So your melody will play on and on, with the best of ‘em

You looked over at Macaque, who was listening as he ate some of his food, but not looking at you.

You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible

A centerfold miracle, lyrical

You saved my life again

And I want you to know, baby

He had looked up a bit, and you thought you saw his tail swaying.

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby

And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby

And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

Finding some confidence, you were definitely singing to just him. You could see Mei nudging MK and whispering.

Constantly, boy you played through my mind like a symphony

There’s no way to describe what you do to me

You just do to me, what you do

And it feels like I’ve been rescued

I’ve been set free, I am hypnotized by your destiny

You are magical, lyrical, beautiful

You are, and I want you to know, baby

You saw those golden eyes dilate and his cheeks become dusted with pink as he leaned forward with his chin in his hand.

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby

And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby(I love you, I love you, like a love song)

And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

You held onto that microphone like it was a lifeline, keeping you grounded to the stage lest you float away. There was no one else in the room except for you and Macaque.

No one compares

You stand alone, to every record I own

Music to my heart, that’s what you are

A song that goes on and on

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby(I love you, I love you)

I, I love you like a love song baby(Like a love song, like a love song)

And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song baby

I, I love you like a love song baby(I love you, love song, baby)

I, I love you like a love song baby(I love you, love song, baby)

And I keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat(I love you, I love you)

Like a love song

You finished with a smile on your face, feeling proud of yourself as you put the microphone back and took a little bow. Your friends all applauded you, save for Macaque, who was still wide eyed and staring ahead. Your confidence faltered…did he not like it? Oh gods, what if he didn’t like you that way?

You took your seat a little further away from him and kept to yourself, even though the others complimented you on your singing abilities.

At the end of the night, you told your friends you’d just walk home. They were hesitant, but said that you should text the group chat once you got home safely. When you agreed, you left, and let yourself go. How could you have tried confessing your feelings like that? You should’ve just been direct with him, he would have understood better.

You were so distracted that you didn’t notice your shadow morphing and moving out of tune with your movements. It waited for when you stopped at a corner to check your directions before Macaque popped out.

“Hey there. Thought you might want some company.” He tapped your shoulder, making you jump.

“Don’t scare me like that! What if I tried to hit you?” You caught your breath. He laughed.

“I’m sure it’d be a nice effort. But you wouldn’t hit little old me, would you?”

You rolled your eyes at him and kept walking, but slower. Your heart was racing—he went out of his way to walk with you?

“That was quite a show you put on back there, huh? I didn’t know you could sing that well.” He complimented. You blushed.

“Thanks. I did my best to impress.”

“It paid off, if you ask me,” he took one of your hands gently with his own, and you felt how cold his hands were compared to yours. “I can always appreciate some good showmanship. Especially from a pretty sight like you.”

“Takes a good showman to know one, huh?” You winked at him and were absolutely delighted in the way he almost tripped over his own feet.

“What else I took notice of,” he cleared his throat to change the subject. “Was the song you chose.”

You gave a hum in response, prompting him to continue.

“Listen. I was definitely apprehensive around you at first. But since we’ve gotten to know each other, I’ve been…happier. More than how I’ve felt the past few years.”

You matched his walking pace and let him keep talking. It seemed that he had a tangled ball of string in his head that he was trying to work out with each sentence, and you could faintly see the other end of it.

“It’s been hard for you to trust anyone. I understand that.” You stopped at a corner, waiting for the crosswalk sign to change.

“Right, exactly. You get me. But now, I trust you. I’d fight for you, I’d write for you. At the end of the day, I know that if you asked me to do it, I would give everything up for you.”

“Are you sure this walk home isn’t to sober you up?” You joked. You two continued on, merely a block away from your home by now. He kept running his hands through his hair.

“I really like you, okay?! I’m usually really good at words, you know that, but for some reason when I look at you, it's just—“ he put his hands over his face as you two came to a halt. He took hold of your hands, and it was a blessing and a curse to him that he found himself falling apart over you as a person. You, who took the time out of your own schedule to get to know him and in turn share things about yourself.

“I want to be with you. I love you, y/n, and I hope you can forgive at least some of my stupidity for not seeing the signs sooner.”

You couldn’t help it, but maybe it was the look in his eyes like he was a stray cat in need of a flea bath and plenty of food, that made you want to hold his face in your hands. He instantly shut up and tensed.

“I love you too, Mac. And for your sake, I’ll let some of your stupidity slide.”

pov you’re a chinese american in a fandom that involves culturally important figures and actively worshipped buddhist and daoist deities, seeing a white person use one of your childhood heroes as a fanfiction prop for a predatory (yandere) gay asian man stereotype and only tagging the post for physical abuse despite the very visible nonconsensual kissing

nobody wants or uses tumblr live

nobody wants the shop icon where the account icon used to be 

nobody wants the new video player / image viewer (let us pause ! let us zoom !) 

the only good feature recently has been polls and even that took way too long to properly roll out 

we are STILL fighting in the trenches against spam bots 

@staff pls take notes 

honestly though the best part about being an adult in fandom is that the idea that something is “cringe” just rolls off my back.

like “that’s cringe” ok, we are living on a floating rock.  do what you want.  get a tattoo for a piece of media (get ten, get twenty), cosplay, scream songs at cons, get excited about what you love, and don’t let people who are literally just miserable crush that out of you.

cringe is dead.  love what you want, and love it loud.

(Whoops I was blocking bots and I accidentally hit your blog there for a second, haha sorry it's fixed now, just wanted to let you know in case it unfollowed!)

(completely understandable lmao) (I'm so tired of the bots I stg)

(Reblog if you can to increase the sample size 🙌)
