#; when i'm wiser and i'm older (headcanon)

[brothershardy]

By contrast of Frank, Joe believed in the magic of Santa well into his early teen years. Some small part of him still believes. He spent many Christmas Eves trying -- and failing -- to capture Santa on video, or to hear the sound of reindeer hooves on the roof. He even believed in the Polar Express, to the point where he'd stare out his bedroom window looking for it every year. Despite growing up, Joe loves the magic of the holidays, will practically puke decorations all over the place, and he frequently gets cards from those Giving Trees to splurge on the gifts for the kids in need. His most ardent belief is that no one should ever spend Christmas alone; he is always happy to volunteer his time wherever he's needed in order to spread some cheer and love.

I'm in LOVE with your Dad!Leona headcanon. Can I request Leona's reaction to his daughter throwing a tantrum after he beat her in chess?? Ty!🤍🤍🤍

Leona Kingscholar:

Had he been that bad? Leona had no doubt he had scowled, pouted, perhaps even threatened Kifaji once or twice. He knew the old man had plenty of stories, and that perhaps this interaction was karmic retribution that had long since been written in the stars, but surprisingly it doesn’t bother him. As much as he still considered kids a pain in the ass he had a certain amount of patience for his own, willing to deal with her tantrum but without babying her. A loss was a loss, and he made it known he wasn’t going to go easy just because of her acting out, which only seemed to negatively affect her mood. He’s surprised when she asked to play again another time before storming off.

Leona sees the gears in her head turning with each loss, her moves more carefully thought out (though her age and inexperience showed, despite it all). She began to recognize his favorite strategies, yet still couldn’t figure out how to stop them, her frustration welling up to the point of tears at certain points. He remained calm as ever, not teasing or acting smug, simply continuing the game and seeing if she was still invested or needed a break. He didn’t know how he got such a determined and stubborn child but it was amusing, to say the least; despite each loss she continued to demand they play together.

She wasn’t a challenging opponent but it was fascinating to see the way she was growing, how much influence she had taken from him while he also had front row seats to the way they differed. It was a bonding activity regardless of the pre-determined outcome, which might come to change the older and wiser she became, but Leona decided he had to see it to truly believe she could beat him.

ada sonny with an age gap relationship?

i wasn't 100% sure what exactly to do, so i'm just gonna do some headcanons; i hope that's okay !!

                   ౨ৎ

is definitely very, very insecure about the age gap. he worries that he's too old for you, and one day, you're going to realize you want someone closer to your age. it does make him feel better when you reassure him (his love language) that you love him in spite of his age and aren't going anywhere.

he's also always the butt of the joke because of his age. you'll lightly poke fun and call him old when he references something that's before your time, and your friends all refer to him as "grandpa."

you two do not share the same humor. he'll make a joke and die laughing while you're sitting there completely lost (and vice versa).

he claims he's always right because he's "older and wiser" which makes you roll your eyes. he usually is always right, but that's besides the point!

date night is hard to plan because you want to do fun and exciting stuff like party, but he wants to do relaxing and romantic stuff.

you tried to do a cute cooking date once, but he got frustrated because he's such a control freak in the kitchen.

you two argue like an old married couple. looooooots of bickering because he's too mature, and you're very immature.

talks about stuff and asks you to do things that he expects you to know and gets very bitchy when you don't (he's got the sass of a teenage girl)

tries to get you to come to court to see him win at least once, but you find it boring. all the legal jargon and having to sit quietly the whole time makes you want to fall asleep.

finding a show or movie to watch is sooooo difficult because your tastes are so wildly different.

same thing with music. you'll put on a new song you like, and he'll roll his eyes and tell you to put on something actually good (even though half the time he ends up actually liking the song)

he's very worried about what other people will think of your relationship. he loves you and wants to show you off, but he worries that the age gap (completely 100% legal, of course) will rub some people the wrong way.

sometimes, he gets insecure about his grey hairs and wrinkles, but when you tell him how much you love them and how sexy they are, he immediately feels a million times better.

constantly tells you how lucky he is that someone as attractive as you loves an old man like him. he's seriously bewildered why, but he feels so grateful for you. you're everything to him

you make him feel young again, and he loves it.

Wheel out the bar cart and pick a bouquet of wheat; it's McKirk Day!!

TOS McKirk are so special to me. Jim and Bones share such a profound intimacy that only comes from deeply knowing and loving someone for a very long time. From the very first episode of the series, they already have that sweet "old married couple" energy I love so much.

I headcanon them as friendly on-again-off-again exes who love each other deeply and remain intimate in lots of ways, whether or not they are an official couple at that particular time. I also headcanon that Bones, who is a little older and wiser, was Jim's first romantic and sexual relationship with a man.

I can also see them in a deeply fulfilling queerplatonic partnership, and I totally get when people ship them in that way. But I personally headcanon that their deep emotional intimacy is both an ingredient and a byproduct of an absolutely electric sex life together.

The hallmark of their relationship is constancy. They always have each other's backs. Sometimes you just NEED somebody around. They are that somebody to each other.

They are each other's emergency contact, best friend, shoulder to cry on, drinking buddy who will hold your hair back later if needed. The first person you tell everything to, whether it's good news or bad news. They genuinely enjoy one another's company and they have lots of fun together.

My two favorite glimpses into their intimacy that are 100% canon: Bones has the Enterprise equivalent of a key to Jim's door and is able to open Jim's door without knocking (Obsession), and also, they sometimes get dressed together (Journey to Babel)!

Perhaps most importantly, they are both great communicators. They sometimes lose their shit with each other like anyone else in a stressful situation, but they always come back and talk about it later in a very healthy, direct, no-frills way. They openly apologize for their transgressions. They forgive each other.

Just look at this exchange from Friday's Child:

KIRK: Bones. MCCOY: Yes, Captain? KIRK: I shouldn't have chewed you out. I'm sorry. MCCOY: I understand.

Or this exchange from The Man Trap:

MCCOY: Another error on my part. KIRK: I'm not counting them, Bones. Are you in the mood for an apology? MCCOY: Oh, forget it.

As people sometimes say, Jim and Bones are the soul and the heart of the TOS triumvirate. As much as I love everybody's favorite Vulcan-Human, sometimes love doesn't need as much mind as you might think it does. Sometimes you don't have to overthink it. Sometimes it's just comfortable and intimate and unconditional. Sometimes you can just say, "I understand" and leave it at that. That's what McKirk is to me.

Don't get me wrong; I ship every combination of the TOS triumvirate. But Spock is so guarded and repressed and turned inward. It makes him exciting and interesting and unpredictable and sexy. But it kneecaps his relationships in a lot of ways.

Bones would never have a sibling he failed to mention to Jim. If Jim found himself in a fuck-or-die situation got so horny he was feeling distracted, he would simply tell Bones (and Bones would fix it for him right away). It's uncomplicated.

Of all the twosomes in McSpirk, McKirk is the most like a real, healthy, happy couple. Real-life relationships are mostly honesty and intimacy and allowing yourself to be vulnerable and showing up again and again. Putting in the work AND enjoying the fireworks. That is what McKirk is to me. I'm so glad we have a day to celebrate this beautiful love story!

Thank you @mckirkevents!

[psychelocking]

trying to make sense of the timeline in naruto is a nightmare bc kishimoto is very inconsistent so i decided to make up my own headcanons.

rin is the oldest in team minato, her birthday is nov 15th, so she's 3 months older than obito. she's also the tallest. on the days obito and kakashi try her patience she'll just pretend she can't see them anymore bc she's So Tall and they're not in her line of sight. "oh no i can't find my teammates anywhere! they're So Tiny i fear i might have accidentally stepped on them. they will be missed 😔"

obito (feb 10th) is 7 months older than kakashi. he's totally the type to lord it over him like: (on the day he turned 12) "you see kakashi, i'm older and wiser than you. when i was your age-"

that makes kakashi the youngest (sep 15th). your honor he's just a baby! the babiest even! he definitely tried to forge his documents to make himself older (too bad his chicken-scratch handwriting gave him away)

[rvp32]

Headcanon of IVE members being possessive of their bf with a little twist. Their BF is much more older than them.

Not including Leeso for Obvious reasons.

Gaeul

She isn't as possessive as the others but she doesn't like seeing girls flirting with you in the high profile parties that take place. She wouldn't come out and tell you she doesn't like it but will make sure you know that she is upset.

"Gaeul, what is it? why do you look so upset?"

"Nothing, You should go and meet with your 'important' business clients. I will just wait here" Gaeul replies.

Yujin

Similar to Gaeul she doesn't like when girls flirt with you or try to get touchy with you. Knowing full well that they are only doing it because of his money. But she does let you know very clearly that she doesn't like it and is very vocal about it.

As soon as you make it home, you are attacked by Yujin, She bites your neck hard.

"Ouch! Yujinie that hurts why are you suddenly biting me?!" You almost scream.

"I'm marking my territory, I don't want those old slimy ladies thinking that you are available. You belong to me and no one else can have you," Yujin says her eyes filled with anger and lust.

Wonyoung

Wonyoung will not accept any sort of flirting or touching at all, she gets jealously easily, a single touch is enough to set her off. She doesn't care where you are, she will make it known that you belong to her and only her.

As you are talking to your potential business partner, you are interrupted by Wonyoung's kiss. It wasn't a sweet and innocent kiss but one that was possessive.

She pulls away but only an inch away from your face and whispers "That bitch was getting too comfortable, Daddy, She should know that you are mine."

Wonyoung now stands next to you with her hands wrapped around your hand and a sinister smirk plastered on her face.

Rei

Rei is similar to Gaeul who gets pouty when she is jealous. Her mood does sour very quickly when you spend a lot of time with a woman other than her.

"Baby, why are you pouting? Did I do anything to upset you," You as clueless about what's upsetting her

"I don't know why don't go ask that bitch what I am so annoyed about seeing that you like talking to her so much," Rei replies, voice filled with anger.

"They say you get wiser with age but it seems it completely skipped over you," Rei says.

Liz

Probably the most shy and least likely to express her feelings verbally. She tries her best to suppress her jealousy because she knows that you love her but when the other woman starts to get a little too touchy Liz can't hold back. She is too gentle and shy for the other woman to be intimidated and you know that very well.

Seeing the woman constantly touch your hand and occasionally even your chest pushes Liz, past her limit. She walks toward the both of you but all she does is stand close to you but slowly tug on your blazer.

This was a sign that liz wasn't happy, she only pulled on your clothes when she didn't like something, so you immediately excused yourselves.

"What happened, baby girl? is something bothering you?"

"I-I just didn't like how much that woman was touching you. Only I am allowed to do that to my boyfriend," Liz manages to say.

[likea-black-widow-baby]

I... am somehow having trouble comprehending the casual queerness in episode 7. Specifically these quotes from Agatha:

"You want a straight answer ask a straight lady."

"I like the bad boys."

"I was your mom's ex.... best friend"

Somehow I just... wasn't prepared for the titular character to be casually queer in a way that feels genuine to her character. I just thought they'd mess it up. Or not see it through. Not pay it off, fail somehow to make it feel real. Billy is real. His boyfriend and gay humor are very real. But somehow making this older, wiser character queer feels different.

Making a younger character queer makes it easy to separate the older generations of MCU characters from the younger ones. Oh he's Gen Z, he's a side character, he's the comedic relief allowed to be gay. But Agatha is older, literally centuries old, just as powerful and just as central as the original MCU heroes, and she's... queer. And casual about it.

The casualness is just as important as the intensity of Agatha and Rio's actual interactions. I think part of why casual representation is important is because when queerness is always intense, it makes it feel like an anomaly. Like a chapter of someone's life that they'll remember, but move past. The casualness... It brings queerness into the MCU in the way we've all dreamed of since the beginning. All those silly wonderful headcanon posts about bi or trans Peter Parker, the Tony Stark "I love sucking *repulsor noise*" post, even Stucky. This makes it seem possible.

I never thought I'd get this from the franchise that I've loved for so long. I never thought I'd see the day, and it feels dramatic and weird and I'm more shaken by it than I thought I would be. I thought by now I'd just fallen into the dichotomy: queerness is more normalized, so queerness isn't necessarily a shock anymore vs Marvel will never do casual queerness. It just doesn't exist in the MCU. And now it does. I never could have imagined this.

Sometimes I forget why I still run this account, when all the best of the MCU seems to be in the past. It hadn't even occurred to me that it could be this.

[jasonsthighholsters]

i yearn for jason and eddie hc..specifically when hes robin but..ill take whateva.. pls…🙏🙏

thank you for the ask! here are some of my jason and eddie headcanons, mostly about the letters they wrote to each other. some are more rooted in canon than others. this is so much longer than i anticipated. beware clicking "read more."

haircuts were one of the first things that shifted the focus of eddie and jason's letters from work, after they teamed up against red-eye, to their personal lives. before eddie moved in with aunt marla, his mom had always been the one to cut his hair. it was an easy scissors-and-a-kitchen-sink type deal, and he never thought much about it (except when he was wondering why sylvia and bob didn't want him to come home). aunt marla, though, was much too busy a woman for anything like that. not that she neglected eddie, but more often than not she was on the phone, or ordering people about set, or helping danny. once, when she noticed eddie's bang starting to swoop low in front of his eyes, she sent her young gopher to hair-and-makeup on set. and eddie had never felt so cool in his entire life as he did sitting on a boosted seat, in front of a big mirror with real movie-star lights around it, watching little pieces of his strawberry blond hair fall to the ground (except maybe when he first put on the kid devil suit he built from danny's design. he might have felt cooler there). eddie tells jason about this in a letter and jason, revealing personal details about himself in a way that raises batman's blood pressure a disproportionate amount, tells eddie his own story: before he became robin, he knew a hairdresser in park row. she was friends with catherine, and she'd always give him a kid's cut for free. when jason began going into her salon alone, in the darker days when catherine was growing sicker and jason's eyes were looking older, she'd give him little boxes of snacks from behind the register. no one in the alley had much, but people helped one another when they could. after catherine's death, he went into the salon looking for a job---he had small hands but he could probably learn to cut hair or something. all the hairdresser could give him was a blanket bundled around some sandwiches and a sad smile. he misses--. he hopes she's okay now too--. alfred cuts his hair now anyway, so that's nothing but a story anymore. this exchange prompts their letters to grow more and more personal, and more and more deep. deeper than either were prepared for, but both of them needed a confidant.

jason is older than eddie (it's unclear in canon how much older, but we know from canon that eddie was still kid devil, pre-neron, at a time when tim is robin in young justice #50, eddie is 17 in his introduction during the year after infinite crisis, when jason's attack on titans tower in v3 issue #29 was just before infinite crisis [but also UTRH occurred concurrently with infinite crisis and chemo dropping on bludhaven?? i have a headache] but jason should be 19 immediately post-UTRH at the time this is all going on if you consider the lost days timeline. this is an unintentionally long tangent and the point is: i'm guesstimating their age gap as two and a half years.) jason is older than eddie and it shows in the letters they share as teenagers. eddie, especially when talking about blue devil, is excitable (naive?) in the way jason was in the first six months he trained with batman. though, jason, who was robbed of every chance he had to be a kid, is okay with this. he's glad to be young and excitable together.

jason doesn't like many of the movies marla's studio at verner brothers films makes. especially after becoming robin, he doesn't really like action movies at all. eddie talks about the film his aunts working on, and jason responds with paragraphs about the book he's reading. it's a bit awkward, but it works, in a way. to eddie, though, this really cements jason in the "older and wiser" role between the two sidekicks. he's in highschool already, he's smart and reads a lot of books and, while eddie is FAR from dumb, he's really only interested in movies and his comics. futhermore, in media tastes and in their behaviors, eddie will always gravitate towards humor to understand his trauma and jason will always gravitate towards tragedy.

i headcanon that there is a similarity in the way eddie talks about danny and jason talks about catherine in their letters. jason's relationship with his mother and eddie's relationship with his mentor is obviously very different, but they share an unconditionality in love and forgiveness on the part of the younger. it's very important to eddy's story that he has always trusted danny---would always trust danny---up until the point he heard from danny's own lips the role he played in marla's death.

teen titans (2003) #42

and we have to consider what "trust" means to eddie at this point in time. he tells zachary that he may not "like" blue devil, but he'll always "trust" him, despite trust meaning faith in another's support, and eddie had to preface with all the ways danny had failed to support eddie. what eddie thinks of as "trust," i'd argue, is love. maybe love and idolization in equal measure.

batman: urban legends #2 and batman (1940) #408

we have less non-New52 material to understand how jason reflects upon catherine, her death, and the caretaker role jason assumed in the panels above because of her illness (which was addiction. addiction is an illness.) but i am telling you right now he'd say he forgives all of it, that there is nothing even to forgive (the truth of that is an entire other essay, and jason deconstructing his relationships with female authority figures could be its own ongoing comic) but jason would defend her by immediately qualifying any statement he might make that accidentally implies she once let him down, and i think sidekick-era kid devil is the same way about blue devil. i also think they might both, individually, pick up on this parallel and hypocrisy in their letters to each other, but neither of them are ready to confront it.

it takes eddie too long to understand why the letters stopped. that's a dark time. he doesn't want to think about it.

this is already much longer than i anticipated, so i'll offer only one more: the teen titans never washed off the fucking graffiti.

teen titans (2003) #29

this shit? its still fucking there. canon might directly contradict me here but i don't care. because what i care about instead is eddie, during the titans' year of disorganization, curling up under the statues of the fallen titans and jason's graffiti with jason's old letters. he kept them, obviously. he thinks, every so often, about reaching out. then, he immediately thinks against it. every story he hears about jason anymore sounds like a monster tale. and, well, eddie has the skin of a monster now too. would jason recognize him? oh, god, would jason even remember him? so he sits and rereads the old letters instead.

and then he moves on. eddie is not captured forever in grief, nor should he be. he begins to grow a support system, especially with rose wilson and jaime reyes. eddie finds happiness, and he deserves it.

(and then everyone dies and gets resurrected a few more times and now they're best friends again. the end.)

[vikkirosko]

Hiiii! How have you been? What's new in life?^^ 🫶

This time, I request something different....I saw Adventure Time, and I got really excited!! The nostalgia of it!

(Fionna, Marshall Lee, Prince Gumball and Flame Prince) A tall male reader that a gentle soul and a pretty chill one too. Okay, he's a bit older, but it makes him wiser. His power often affects the weather. If he's sad, it's raining. If he's happy, expect a rainbow. If he's chill and calm, it's sunny if he's angry or furious, storm and so on worse. What's would it be like for the characters when they would start dating? Sure, the m/reader would be caring and fun too! He's up for adventure, and there's no hesitation to help out and protect his lover. For example, if they go hurt by an enemy or someone insulted them, m/reader would strike a lighting at the enemy right away.

M/reader is a hard-working person and a mystery one, too. He would sometimes disappear and appear at random times like teleportation(but it's not it). Imagine: The lover is sleeping, and when they wake up, they see gifts from him and a delicious breakfast in bed as well. 😍🤌

Hi! I'm all good. From the new one... I got an internship for my studies at the editorial office of a local newspaper. And how are you doing? I hope everything is fine

Headcanons Relationships

🐰 Fionna Campbell x male!Reader 🗡

Fionna wasn't very lucky in a romantic relationship. She was unrequitedly in love, and her other relationships ended and it was hard for her after this breakup. That's why when you started dating, she felt a little anxious. She really liked you, but she was afraid of getting burned again. But pretty quickly she realized that you were very different from those she was in love with before

You were a little older than her and initially, when you first met, you seemed quite distant to her, but when she got to know you better, she realized that you were kind, caring and gentle. You were ready to keep her company during the adventure and were ready to protect her if she was in danger. You also took great care of her. In the morning, you often left various gifts in her room or even breakfast practically in bed. Most of the time, at such moments you were no longer in her house, but you always left her nice notes, wishing her a good morning

You had an unusual ability that helped her better understand what emotions you were experiencing. Your emotions influenced the weather at some distance around you. When you were with Fionna, the sun was always shining and there could even be a rainbow in the sky. One day she went to visit you and saw how it was raining. As it turned out, you were upset. The weather seemed to reflect your emotions, and thanks to Fionna, you could see a rainbow in the sky more and more often

Fionna was so happy in a relationship for the first time. You didn't have to come up with any ways to be together or hide your feelings from each other. She was sure that you would be really happy together

🍬 Prince Gumball x male!Reader ⚗️

You and Gumball have known each other for a very long time, even longer than anyone could have imagined. You were a couple and often spent time together. Everyone knew that when there was a clear sky and a rainbow in the sky above Candy Kingdom, it means that today you visited him. Your emotions influenced the weather and you were always happy when you saw him

Sometimes there were quarrels between you because Gumball worked too hard. You were worried about him and often left various small gifts and snacks in his laboratory, hoping that he would get a little distracted. He never heard you come in and you never told him how you came to him so quietly

Several times, when you knew that Gumball had been working non-stop for several days, you tried to convince him to take a break, and because of this you quarreled. At such moments, the weather seemed to go crazy. At first, a strong wind began to blow outside and a thunderstorm began. It meant you were angry. Then you left, realizing that your quarrel would lead to nothing. It usually started to rain heavily at such moments. The only thing that calmed Gumball at least a little was that the rain did not disappear, which means you were somewhere nearby, and soon he was already coming to you to apologize

Gumball was glad that there was a man like you in his life. You could help him when he faced difficult tasks that he could think about for several days, you could protect him in case of danger, you were there when he needed support. He could be calm around you, because he knew that he could always rely on you

🎸 Marshall Lee x male!Reader 🦇

Marshall Lee met you when he was caught in a thunderstorm and hid from it in the woods, where he found you. You were angry and it would seem that the weather didn't bother you at all. When he asked you what you were doing there, he heard something that had been accumulating in you for a long time. The more you talked, the stronger the storm became, until at some point you exhaled, calmed down, and with you the weather calmed down and the sun came out in the sky. That day, you both found a good friend, and later found out that not just a friend, but something more

You were a frequent visitor to his house. Marshall enjoyed spending time with you. You kept him company while he was writing songs, you watched movies together. In the mornings, he often found small gifts in his living room and he found breakfast on the bedside table. Marshall knew that you were the one who left it. You took care of him and he appreciated it

You often accompanied him and were always ready to go on adventures with him. However, if someone insulted him, then your usual calm and relaxation collapsed. You wouldn't let anyone hurt him and you'd get angry if someone insulted him. Marshall easily understood your emotions, because the weather changed from this, but those who did not know you only wondered how sharply a calm, sunny day changed so much

You and Marshall were different. He liked noisy parties and often arranged concerts, while you usually preferred a relaxed atmosphere, but despite this, you felt really happy next to each other. It would seem that everyone knew about this, because it was not so often possible to see a permanent rainbow in the sky before, which now practically screamed about your happiness

🔥 Flame Prince x male!Reader 🎧

Flame Prince has not left the castle for a long time. He grew up locked up and when he finally left the castle he was able to take a deep breath. He wandered around for a long time, trying to cope with his anger, until he came across you. You were surprisingly relaxed and his appearance didn't bother you. Even when he got angry, you weren't scared. On the contrary, you tried to help him calm down. As it turned out later, you perfectly understood what it was like when others could suffer from your emotions, even if you didn't want to

You were able to get along quickly. You taught him to control his emotions and over time he began to notice that when you were around, the weather was just fine. There was not a cloud in the sky and there was a rainbow. When he asked how this was possible, you told him that the reason for this was that your emotions were related to the weather. When you were happy, the sun was shining in the sky and there was a rainbow. You were happy with him. This prompted you to tell him about your feelings. At that moment, he himself seemed ready to start shining

You tried to take care of him. He often found breakfast in his room in the morning, which you left for him, and sometimes you left various gifts. Sometimes it seemed to him that you could teleport, but that wasn't the case. Flame Prince has asked you several times how your other emotions affect the weather. You told him that when you're angry, a storm starts, and when you're upset, it rains, but since the day you met, you've had no reason to be sad. He saw your anger, because you were angry when someone insulted him

You were one of the first people he could trust. You accepted him for who he was, despite the outbursts he had. He was really happy with you. Even if a terrible downpour started outside, he wouldn't be afraid, knowing that you would be there to help him. He was safe with you no matter what

[moonspirit]

Hi moon, i need me some more Annie and Mikasa interactions💔💔 mostly post-rumbljng!!

Aw hello anon!

Post-Rumbling Mikaani yessssssss!!! The thing I personally tend to think about the most is that they probably grow close over letters. It's actually a pretty common headcanon from the fics I've read haha, but something about Annie writing letters, actual letters, to the only other person who, at the beginning, could match in her terms of fighting skill, and then later, come to understand how Annie felt about everything, just touches my heart so much T///////T

Mikasa and Annie don't get to see each other until the Ambassadors finally return to Paradis after 3 years.

But in that time, the letters they exchange transition from stiff, cold, cool, lukewarm, sentimental, warm, friendly, banter and jokes and complaints to finally, heartwarming sheets of paper filled with words they'd likely never say aloud in person.

3 years of letters. That's a lot. That's a lot of time and a lot of ocean separating them, but at the end of it when Annie sees Mikasa, a little older, a little wiser and none the better for crying over Eren, she feels - I know her. I know Mikasa, and in all the letters, I've known Mikasa.

The hug then, is a tight embrace that cannot be put to words :>

Thank you so much for this anon T^T I'm all warm now. A very very Happy New Year's Eve to you!

[yallthemwitches]

Coucou!

As some of you know, I came back to the jily community last year after a long hiatus and for the first time ever (despite being a long time reader) decided to try my hand at writing fanfiction in the form of a lil' monster called "Catch the Wind."

At the time, I thought absolutely zero people would read it and it would immediately get lost into the interspace along with the millions of other fanfictions in the world. For this reason, I am ashamed to admit that many of the early chapters had zero forethought, editing, or reflection upon their publications---It was a project literally written on some headcanons and a prayer...and I am still so so shocked that it even got an inkling of followers much less the kind of support I recieved (and have continued to recieve) since it's start.

With this being said, as I've worked on other projects I've seen my writing evolve and found myself getting stuck as to how to move forward when a lot of this fic doesn't feel like a current reflection of my writing. There are so many things I would have expanded, redone, or developed more but I didn't know it at the time because, well, hindsight is 20/20.

So, as I've been sitting here for the better half of a week trying (and failing) to push myself forward with a new chapter, I think what would be best for me would be to *big inhale* rewrite it from the beginning.

I have no timeline for this and I don't know just yet if I will wait to finish the whole rewrite to start republishing, but what I DO know is that I'm not giving up on it and I will see it through to its finale in whatever form that takes (I've been burned so many times by unfinished fics... I refuse to be my own worst enemy!)

If you would like to read it in it's infancy 1.0 form, I will still leave it on AO3 and add the link below, but know eventually I will pull it to make way for 2.0 (again timeline tba) I'm sorry to everyone who is bummed that I won't continue it as is, but I hope this will be for the best: me and my Lily and James are (hopefully) older and wiser now.

Again, I still am so shocked by the amount of love and support I have gotten not only for this fic but my writing in general. You all have my endless gratitude and I cherish every kudo/review/comment I have recieved. While I'm working on 2.0 I will be continuing to publish new works so hopefully you won't be too too mad at me :)

Mille bisous à tous!

Frank never had a phase in childhood where he believed in Santa, because the idea of a magical man who lived in the North Pole that could watch his every waking second, decide if he was "good" or "bad" at any time, and could legally break into his house freaked him out so much that he simply refused to believe it at all. Fenton and Laura tried multiple times to get him into the magic of the belief, but after Frank had an anxiety attack at the age of seven trying to think of the logistics of it, they gave up.

The little sisterfication of Signora

── ୨୧：la signora & reader

୨୧﹑synopsis :: we're back with the little sibling headcanons let's GOOO

୨୧﹑genre :: fluff

୨୧﹑content :: gn reader, young signora, use of signora’s real name, it's more ambiguous how much older reader is, not proofread

୨୧﹑words :: 1.1k

this has been planned for so long, but I struggle SO bad writing Signora tbh Idk why it's not like I don't know how to write arrogant anguished women. I love arrogant anguished women 😭 while I'm on that thought I came to the realisation reader is probably dead with Rostam which was just what I wanted to think. BUT BUT I DID try to sneak some details in so it can still be cute cough witch's flower of blaze

it feels weird every time I use their real names but also calling them by titles when we know their names feels wrong because if it's from the perspective of their sibling who would know and use their name 😔 I think because I'm not used to it I'm like who the hell is MILBURN PENNYBAGS that's PULCINELLA (I had to look up the Monopoly man's name for that joke you BETTER laugh)

all little siblingification posts

Rosalyne was, as children are, young and interested in learning, eager but never quite aware. She loved to trail along by your side as you took her up the mountains to find a patch of flowers, at which point she would plop down in the grass and get to work making herself a flower crown with an extra one so you could match. Since your mother taught her the secret, she had happily taken to it and off to the races she was, linking flowers and matching colours in pursuit of the prettiest arrangement she could make to be her crown.

She long ago decided that Windwheel Asters are among the best, with an interesting shape and fiery red to contrast her blonde hair. Calla Lilies have a similar colour but a bad shape for flower crowns, and Cecilias are too pale to stand out the way she'd like them to. Windwheel Asters are bold and show off her hard work better than any delicate flower could.

Of course, that means she must also find the perfect flower for you, and that's hard work, but she'll never stop trying. Rosalyne read in a book about an extinct flower called the Padisarah, a beautiful purple flower that even the Dendro Archon couldn't perfectly replicate, and decided it would've been perfect for you if it still existed. You suspect that it's only because she can't have it that she wants it, the allure of something mystical that exists only in the imagination.

She settles instead on the legends of a Liyue flower that blooms at the sound of beautiful music—Glaze Lily or something to that tune. Each time Rosalyne makes a flower crown for you with the next best thing she can find, she claims that one day she'll travel to Liyue, and when she does, she'll bring you back one to see how pretty they are as if she has some greater understanding looking at the same picture in her book as you did. Maybe she does.

There is no dream too big, not for Rosalyne. She is desperate for your approval at every turn and wants you to think she's as cool as she thinks you are. She wants to hear you smile with her despite seeming so far away at times. Her phase of being petty and squabbling with you is over at last, and she seeks the comfort of the one person she looks up to more than anybody for a guiding star to turn to—you.

Your parents are both far away future ideals for an older Rosalyne to aspire to be, maybe with that boy she likes, but you are not so distant. You're like her, if only older and barely wiser. She sees all that she wants in you, and it makes her look up to your guidance above all else. Her parents are the annoying rule makers who preside over her life and ruin her fun; you're the fun troublemaker who sleazes the both of you past the city guards and takes her headfirst into the danger of the mountains just so she can play.

Rosalyne thinks of an ambitious future, and your parents tell her to be careful; you tell her to chase it. Become a scholar and do as she pleases. She's more inclined towards your indulgent way of thinking. You have yet to stifle the burning passion she holds but recognise it, and in your mind, it's about as cool as dragons could ever be. It is not the worrisome uncertainty of instability and hardship that your parents think it is.

Her heart is set in a far-off place—Sumeru, the Akademiya, where she feels everything will fall into place like a fairytale. Rosalyne has it all figured out, down to the number of boys she'll reject in pursuit of that boy she has had a crush on since she was twelve.

Even you're not privy to that, subject to Rosalyne quickly closing her diary or turning away from you, hiding the gifts she managed to get him and letters she wrote out but never could quite work up the nerve to send. It used to be only one of the many instances that would have her yelling at you not to snoop, though it has dwindled to being only one of the very few instances, save for accidentally discovering her in the process of procuring your birthday gifts.

It used to be that you would be searching for your missing things, a few of which had disappeared suspiciously close to your birthday and were found the moment you were proudly presented those very items as gifts from your little sister, sometimes with a daring tale of how she acquired it for you. Most of the time, you acted surprised and grateful, maybe even added a comment about how you were glad you didn't have to get a new one since Rosalyne had gone out and done it for you. You hid your annoyance at her habit of stealing your things behind thoughts of how cute your mother thought it was that Rosalyne didn't want to be left out of getting to give you something.

Rosalyne does, however, realise the possible benefit of asking for your help with this boy once she gets over the embarrassment-driven beet-red cheeks and yelling at you. You cannot find her boy and drag him by the ear to her, but you could help her write a letter to him or teach her to wrap that gift she was holding onto. You can do any number of things to help her chances— except talk to him. You can't do that, or you'll give it away with that big mouth of yours.

You're not quite sure how she came to that conclusion.

Her acceptance to the Akademiya came all too quickly. Years seemed to fly by, and her quirks evened out into a young woman your parents were more comfortable sending away to another nation. Their fears of her immaturity and fiery passion dragging her down settled as she did. By the time you were ready to send her away, the encroaching elegance you had seen forming in her younger self blossomed until she carried herself with more confidence and grace than ever. 

Like your parents, you are ready to watch her pursue that dream and come home to see the boy she likes still waiting for her. You make sure she knows you'll be there too, maybe even come visit every now and then and see Sumeru for yourself.

As she leaves, you reveal what you've been hiding for her—a single red flower. You're not as practised at the art of making flower crowns, but you found her this. This is all you can offer that she can carry with her until it wilts away.

CROSSPOSTED ON AO3

[riddles-n-games]

Do you have any headcanons about averyjameson getting engaged when they're older?

Okay, let's get to business. In all honesty, I'm kind of not ready to think about them older and engaged and yet I literally have an idea for a fic with their first child. Here you go:

Jameson proposes in Tuscany when they're on a trip to Italy (don't know why, just feels right).

When he was planning for the ring he was going to get her, he asked Libby and Max for their input. They happily helped him create a list of things before heading off to a jeweler. At this point, he hadn't told any of his brothers he was planning to propose but he did have a talk of sorts with Nash at a previous 911.

Nan helped him look through designs in her collection and connected him with an old friend of his grandfather's that helped create some of the most valuable pieces for his grandmother. The final design of the engagement ring is an oval emerald on a gold band with some fancy engravings (elegant but simple as put by Max).

Once he had the ring, he finally confirmed to Nash that he was planning to propose but let him know to not say anything to Xander or Gray yet. His brother promised and gave him tips on how to approach Toby for his blessing since that was his next step.

Now, this part of the plan is delayed for several weeks as all confident Jameson for once in his life is not feeling confident and so, after drinking a shot of bourbon for a boost, he made his way to a diner to meet with his adopted uncle.

After some small talk, Toby made him cut to the chase and although he gave Jamie a hard time, he tells him that he has his blessing and that he's grown to be a better man than him or his grandfather. Jameson cries just a little on the way home but he tells himself that was just the wind biting at his face because it was cold.

Fast forward to him planning a summer trip for him and Avery in the Mediterranean and he's finally told his other brothers. They congratulate him and eagerly give him suggestions along with Libby and Maxine and soon they share a Pinterest board with all these plans and aesthetics. And soon, it's time to jet off to Italy.

With a week long affair, Jameson is both excited and dying on the inside. Avery is pretending to be none the wiser.

Before they left, he packed her an emerald green summer dress for the day of the proposal.

They have fun at the beach, go to Florence and Pisa, make funny poses at the Tower of Pisa, horseback riding at the winery, eat overly expensive gelato and cannolis, and consume as many pasta types at they dare (no, seriously, it was a dare; you guess).

Meanwhile, every day of the week, he goes to practice proposing in the bathroom mirror. His hands get clammier with each passing day as Friday comes near.

He calls Nash and Gray for reassurance to calm down. Unfortunately, he wanders the halls more restlessly at night with the ring in his pocket.

Finally, Friday arrives. No going back. He has the day set; another day in town, then a romantic wine dinner looking out over the mountains at sunset.

He tries his utmost to keep himself distracted from the evening ahead but hour after hour goes by and soon they're back at the house, washing up and getting ready for dinner.

While Avery is in the shower, he sneaks out the dress and puts it one the bed and writes "Wear me if you dare." on a piece of paper.

He leaves for the living room and practices his lines again as he waits for her.

After a long hour, she comes and they head out to the area he set up dinner. Of course, Avery has been suspicious this whole time but hasn't called Tahiti because she is certain he's going to finally break without her even asking.

She thanks him for the dress and kisses him on the cheek, secretly wondering what the special event is. Was it the special lady's intuition telling her that there was a ring coming out soon?

They talk and talk while they wine and dine on his grandfather's finest white wine. She is itching to ask but the pasta dinner is hitting that good. Jameson is barely able to eat dinner from being so nervous.

Just as she is about to make him spill the beans, he literally just shouts, "Marry me!" Avery is taken aback, her mouth wide open and for a long moment, she doesn't say anything as her boyfriend is staring at her panicked, realizing he messed up.

Before he could start hating himself, Avery literally dives into his arms without a word and hugs him. Confused, he hugs her back and they sit like that for a long moment, her on his lap. Then, she whispers, "Yes, Jamie. I'd love to marry you."

When she pulls back Jameson is staring at her in wonder and as he's about to reach for the ring, she kisses him. A bit dazed after the kiss, he's still holding the ring box unopened and she asks if she can open it. He nods and then lets her.

She starts crying when she sees the ring and he gently takes her hand, asking if he can put it on her. Avery just nods and holds out her shaky hand as Jameson tries to stop his own hand from trembling while he puts it on.

The two kiss again and then Avery decides to go run through the vineyard, Jameson chasing after her as she heads for the stable.

They go riding and then stop in the middle of the field, spinning in circles until out of nowhere, they just start swaying to invisible music.

They don't sleep a wink that night as they whisper excitedly the whole time until early morning when they finally are too tired.

Little do they know that Xander has planned an entire engagement party waiting for them when they return from Italy.

The last two days they travel for a weekend beach date.

That took everything I got to make this. Thanks for the request, I hope you enjoy reading this long ass list.

what are your headcanons for how mello and near first met? who was at wammy’s first? did mello hate near immediately or was that not till later?

oh omg hi this is one of the only semi-general questions you could've asked that i have a blanket answer for. i'm sure some of my older works diverge from this -- and probably some new ones will continue to, just because i like to switch it up -- but i do have a sorta standard history i like to work from. standard disclaimer: these are my preferences for my own writing, and i think a really wide range of headcanons can work quite well here :3c

in my mind, mello was at wammy's first, and was the top student in his age / ability category. when near arrived, he was not immediately placed at mello's level; not only was he younger and newer, but the headcanons i have about near's background also generally mean he didn't know english when he first arrived at wammy's, so at least some of his time each day would've been devoted to learning that, & perhaps to help him catch / keep up he would have a tutor in his native language until he understood english well enough to be in one of the general classes. perhaps there are even small groups of ESL students for different languages.

i don't know. whatever. the point is that near is not in mello's class to start with, and mello feels some amount of pity towards near. not because of the ESL thing lmao (i imagine mello had to learn english when he first arrived as well) but because of all near's near-ish traits. honestly, i don't tend to think of mello as having been a particularly nice child to the other orphans, even pre-rivalry, but near's scrawniness + health problems + social isolation i think on some level prompts a small protective streak in mello. he's this small, sad-looking, lonesome child, and mello is the first and only person he likes and trusts. in an unpublished bury us both companion piece i have their first meeting occur while near is hiding from roger and mello lies on her behalf, then shows her another hiding place. actually. damn i should post that. can't remember why i haven't.

i vary somewhat on how close they were as children depending on what dynamic i want to go for, but i tend to think there was at least some care & friendship there. the basis of their friendship, i imagine, is that mello feels older and wiser and cooler and stronger than near, and gains a sense of importance and security from near relying on him. this implodes horribly when near is moved up into his class level and starts besting him in every subject. so begins the rivalry. so ends their friendship. i do tend to imagine mello would intervene on near's behalf if he were ever being physically bullied / threatened, but they're never close like they were before again, because mello leaves before they can both mature and grow enough to sort anything out. except in AUs where that doesn't happen, which are my roman empire.

there are a few reasons i like this general sort of setup best for my own works. for one, having mello arrive first means that he got to experience, for however long or short a time period, being the golden child of his class. i think having this sense of specialness and accomplishment would make near beating him all the more painful. i could get way into mello's self-worth problems here but instead i'll just say: mello believes himself worthless and needs to be The Best in order to prove to himself that he's good enough at all. which has never actually worked for him, but, you know. i also like them having been friends prior to the rivalry because it resonates better for the sorts of dynamics i like best, and twists the knife a little from near's side. mello cared for him and looked after him, once, but now he sees near as his enemy. ough.

wow they make me bonkers!

Yandere Haytham Headcanons

✧･ﾟ: Masterlist :･ﾟ✧

Cw: Age Gap (All characters are 18+), Mentor/Student Dynamic, Yandere

- So he's definitely not the typical obsessive or dramatic yandere.

- Haytham is very mindful and considerate of the privacy of those he respects so he holds you in high regard but he might come across as overwhelming at times, in an overprotective sense.

- He loathes himself for using manipulative methods, particularly after the whole 'Birch situation' but he does seem like the type to instill doubt in his S/O over time. A word here and there about a potential "threat" would surely draw you away and have you confiding in him instead.

- "I don't mean to alarm you but I believe the man who you were talking to earlier was recently involved in criminal activity. I suggest you avoid him from now on, my dear."

- Which is funny of him to mention, considering how Haytham commands Templars who own an entire underground shadow market and regulary deal with illegal goods. So, in a way he's involved in criminal activity himself but it hardly bothers him.

- Haytham as a much older and experienced man has no time in being polite or considerate anymore. His behaviour mostly stems from the events of his past, of what he's been through. The affection he shows you is different from the affection he showed Ziio. Hers was pure, innocent and bathed in warmth. Yours is born from something vicious, something less pure, more tragic.

- Between older Haytham and his student, he won't bother sugarcoating his words and will just straight up not let them associate with others who he deems dangerous.

- "You are forbidden from talking with them again. And before you argue, think about how I'm doing this for your own good, since you seem to be incapable of taking care of yourself."

- Haytham as a mentor is stricter when it comes to his student. He's harsh and comes off as highly condescending, and he limits where they go and who they talk to. They never leave his side and he expects them to never complain or talk back to him. Most of his excuses border along the lines of...

- "I know best. I am older, wiser, and much more well versed in the world than you are. Do not challenge my authority."

- And it's intimidating at first but after a while the excuse becomes bland, yet you can't find yourself pulling away from him or disobeying his orders. You know how it would devastate him.
