#AAAAAI LIVE THIS SO MUCH

[bluelolblue]

Hellooooo! It’s ask time! ⏰

I know a lot of times we talk about Santino and John hiding how they feel, holding back from PDA in public, etc., but I think it’s also cute to imagine how they’d tell people they’re dating. Who would they each tell first? Would they not really mention it and then suddenly announce they’re engaged, or would they gossip about it all the time? I also think it’s cute to imagine one of them gushing to someone about how much they love the other, and then being overheard.

Good for our last couple days of pride month too!!

AAAAAY THIS IS SO CUTEEEE

Thank you so much!! I love this!! 💖💖💖

Gotta give them some cute and wholesome moments ahaha! They deserve it after everything :]

John is his bodyguard for the context ^ ^

Okay, I'm convinced Winston found out by himself because this man finds out everything somehow LMFAOO! But John used to sit down for a coffee/drink with him when he was in The Continental and chat. And he would mention Santino few times, mostly about some moments where he had to do his bodyguard job. And Winston was nodding, listening, acting "stupid" because he knew about their little secret ;)

So after some time, after John talked with Santino about their whole situation, both agreed to tell one person each. John decided to with Winston. "I'm actually dating Santino." And he says it so shyly, too. Literally like a teen talking with their parent. Winston is his father figure fr. And Winston hits him with, "I know." So John just stares in confusion, "You do??" Of course he did it's Winston, he should've known. John also begs him not to spread that information anywhere else and Winston agrees, he tells him that there's nothing to worry about.

Santino decided to tell Gianna. And he's all nervous but still trying to have that calm look. Literally them two having cappuccino together in the living room. At first they're talking about a random subject, probably something about Camorra and other stuff. And then he goes like, "I'm um... dating John. I mean, he is still my bodyguard but-" but Gianna cuts him off like, "Oh so I was thinking right after all." She never wanted to really tell him that she was suspecting it. So he's left all flustered while she laughed at his reaction. And he's like "Don't you DARE to say anything to anyone!" As much as Gianna likes to tease him about anything (sibling stuff ig ahaha), she promised him that she won't tell.

The engagement was also kept a secret from everyone else, only Gianna and Winston found out after a week. Because that was such a special moment and they actually wanted to keep it a secret, but it was also so exciting. And they knew that one day... everyone will probably know just because of this world they live in.

They're gossiping about it with Winston and Gianna all the time. John telling Winston his plans and surprises and Santino the same to Gianna. And during those times... everyone else kinda catches up on the news. So there is no point in hiding it anymore PLUS, they didn't want to hide the fact they're in love and about to get married anymore. It was painful to constantly hide it, to not being able to kiss each other in front of others and to show affection.

So they also stopped giving a fuck and started gossiping about it (yet again everyone kinda found out lmaoo) and then they announced it.

I can imagine John being all sweet when talking about Santino to Winston, literally just how much he cares and loves him, how he wants to take care of him. Especially how he brings him food and water when he's working and how Santino sometimes snaps at him but he doesn't mind it. Like, John is a silent guy, but he becomes a yapper when talking about Santino. Winston is sipping his drink and nodding. Random Winston headcanon, he was a romantic when he was younger so he understands this. Well... in this situation some of Santino's enemies overhead the conversation and were like, "Santino D'Antonio and John fucking Wick are getting married?? What the fuck?!"

Meanwhile, Santino is yapping about John with Gianna, and he is so annoying to her, but... he is her baby brother who is getting married. He doesn't want to ruin his happiness. And she's happy for him. He is finally truly happy and has someone who cares and loves him so deeply. He won't get hurt with John. Unlike his previous lovers (ahem... we all know one of them).

So yeah, Santino and John got married and they're not hiding that they're husbands. And no one is gonna stand in their way. Wick D'Antonio is too powerful.

BRUH WHAT ARE YOU WEARING

ooooh my goddddd i miss edogawa, send me back to iwatodai please

Following up to the Midnight Channel, Chie has never considered girls before. I'm glad this possibility space has now opened up to her. Congratulations. I mean, for me, it was being like 11 years old and on FF.Net and accidentally clicking a Gundam Wing fanfic that said 1x2 without knowing what that meant. For you, it's this. Cheers.

Everyone decides to go to Junes to see if you can really stick your hand through a TV and for some reason you can?

This immediately makes me suspicious. Chie and Yosuke try it to mock you before you do it, and they're unable to. So it's specific to Reverie here. I hope some horrible Big Bad isn't sealed inside him. Though, notably, P4 is not as preoccupied with death as P3 was. It seems obsessed with...

Rumors.

Hm. What would be the Arcana of rumors and falsehoods that cover up the inner truth. I'll cogitate. Because OH MAN

THIS GAME IS OBSESSED WITH SECONDHAND UNTRUTHS AND RUMORS. It's about as subtle about it as P3 and it's "oh everyone turns into floating coffins" thing.

Okay so in the TV.

No one is hyped to be here, and there doesn't seem to be a way out. This game loves yellow like P3 loved green.

That's the wife to the councilman who had the affair, HOW MUCH INVESTMENT DO I NEED IN THAT STUFF? I GUESS A LOT. Looks like this was... a copy of the victim's room? Symbolically recreated in the TV land?

its spooky, let's gtfo of here.

AAAAAY its Teddy! He's a mascot!

Who immediately kicks us out.

We'll be back. 8)

ANYWAY uuuuh. Saki..... died? I grabbed screencaps of the sequence but take my word for it, she's hung upside down on a telephone pole. 8C its..... grim.

See, more fucking rumors.

Also, is it a serial murderer or a copycat? Hrm.

Yosuke is Very Upset about Saki's death, and points out that he heard someone say they saw the dead journalist lady on the Midnight Channel before her death, and now they saw Saki on the Midnight Channel before hers, ergo we gotta go back into the TV.

Chie isn't about this fuckin' life, so.

Yosuke has rope and a golf club. Either Yosuke is short as hell or that golf club is sized for basketballers only.

GOOD JOB, GUYS.

AND WE'RE BACK waitafuckingminute is that sam riegel

oh my god it is. sup, man, how you doin.

okay there's a lot of info here.

Teddie (that's the guy's name) lives in the TV. He knows someone is throwing bodies into this world and trapping them to die because normally there is no exit from the TV. There are Shadows here, and they are violent. Teddie is.... not a shadow? Which begs the question what the fuck is he.

kind of rude bro

And rather than signing a contract to "take responsibility for my actions including my inevitable death" the contract in P4 is to solve a mystery.

For agreeing to stop people from dumping randos into TV hell, we get cool glasses that let us see better.

He still ranks higher than Chie right now, not gonna lie.

stray kids’ reactions to you taking medication for depression & anxiety ↠ all members

genre: reaction word count: 2.4k warnings: discussion of depression and anxiety, description of panic/anxiety attack, swearing request: yes

a/n: hi anon! wow, this one turned highly personal really fast. so, this turned into a combination of your original request and how stray kids would react just knowing that you have depression/anxiety. i think how they’d care for and support you is a large part of their reactions to finding out, if that makes sense. i hope this brings you comfort~

✧ masterlist in bio ✧

bang chan

as with most things, chan would be very understanding

he’d just want you to feel and function the best you could

and not have to worry about whether you’re going to be able to make it through a day

he’d noticed when you first started dating that you occasionally withdrew into yourself

and needed time alone

chan didn’t really think anything of it 

bc he also kinda just turns into a hermit and hides to reset and recuperate

but when you’d told him that you take meds for anxiety and depression

his sneaking suspicion that you’d been struggling with something was confirmed

it all made sense!

chan would be immediately and absolutely on board to support you

he wasn’t gonna let those nasty depression demons get the better of his y/n

no! fucking!! way!!! ＼＼\٩(๑`^´๑)۶//／／

when you could stand it, he’d be really cute and cuddly to try to make you feel better

and he’d also research everything about the meds

on the days that you just needed to be left alone, he’d be worried 

bc he wouldn’t want you to be lonely or to need him and for him to not be there immediately for you

but sometimes even just the presence of another person is exhausting

even if it’s your partner

he’d always come back with flowers or your favorite kind of pie or curry or something else delicious or beautiful

all he wants is for you to feel like you can face the world

bc he’ll always be there by your side (♡‿♡)

lee minho

minho would be matter of fact and accepting about the whole thing

he wouldn’t be fussed

and would just accept that sometimes you’d be less than cheerful

and that it has nothing to do with him or his actions

while he wouldn’t necessarily understand the ins and outs of depression and/or anxiety,

he would still be totally committed to supporting you

he’d be glad that you have meds

because it’s hard for him to see you so down and feeling so blank

he just wants you to be okay

he’ll ask if you’re okay and what he can do

sometimes he just has to ask you a few times

just to be sure

for his own peace of mind

if any family, friends, coworkers, anyone gave you shit about your depression and anxiety

minho would be the kind of person to just:

Σ(☉‿☉✿)Σ(☉‿☉✿)Σ(☉‿☉✿) “hold my flower”and prepare to fight the world for you

alkjfhakjfdhkj

minho would always make sure that you have your meds on time

either going to pick them up from the pharmacy for you

or reminding you to get them yourself

he’d also remind you to take the meds on your especially bad days

when you can’t exactly think or do much else

while he jokes that cats are the best medicine for anything

minho knows and agrees that medication for mental illness and such is important

bc it helps you be able to function

but that doesn’t stop him from trying his best to make you feel energized and focused through other means!

you have a weekly picnic date, even after dating for two years

it’s the sweetest thing ever

and definitely helps (≧◡≦)

seo changbin

it was the first time you slept over at his place

(a really lovely evening with lots of sweet cuddling ｡ﾟ(ﾟ∩´﹏`∩ﾟ)ﾟ｡  )

(((oh no now i’m soft HHHH)))

and you’d left your bag sitting out in the living room

changbin had thought it would be nice if he got your things for you in the morning

and he also wanted to make you breakfast (✿◠‿◠)

so he'd gone to pick up your bag and saw the little pill bottle

and was just “oh, okay~”

when he'd come into the bedroom, changbin looked a little nervous?

bc he wasn’t quite sure how to ask you what meds you were taking

he wasn’t really worried or anything

he just wanted to support you with absolutely no judgement because meds aren’t a bad thing~

he was so understanding and immediately, like chan, researched everything he could about helping someone with anxiety and depression

and then made you breakfast bc that’s wonderful anytime at all

on the days you felt like you couldn’t get out of bed

(or simply couldn’t whether you wanted to or not)

changbin would be there

if you could stay in bed the whole day, then he’d stay with you

if you had to get up and actually do things, he’d do his best to help you

he’d make you food, help you shower, even pick out clothes for you so that you wouldn’t have to think

he’d understand that sometimes you need a bit of a prod to do things

changbin would definitely try his best to make those reminders as caring and lighthearted as possible

after all, you don’t exactly have control over when lack of motivation strikes

changbin would understand and know a lot of the feelings you have

and be able to empathize based on his own experiences

really, he would just continue to love you ♡

hwang hyunjin

hyunjin, oh sweet hyunjin

he’d be so understanding

and would feel really sorry for you

but not in a weird, pitying way

just sad that your brain had decided to betray you in such a way

*insert all the empathy here*

he knows all too well the feelings of hopelessness you sometimes feel

he’d be glad that you have meds, actually

and would even remind you when you have therapy (if you do)

he’d probably send you random “when you have anxiety/depression” memes

you’ve busted out laughing at inopportune times more than once from said memes

when you’re in a depressive episode, hyunjin would be like a cat

just curled up with you as much as possible

if you can’t stand to have someone near you

then, he’d still text you cheesy stuff like those ridiculous valentine’s day pickup lines that are, in fact, funny at any time of the year

oh and don’t forget about the utterly sincere, will-make-you-cry texts, love letters, post-it notes, notes written in blueberries on the counter, and even signs he’d write for you

one day, you’d even opened a lunch he’d made you to find a little note rolled up around your fork:

“hi hello yes you, the pretty one reading this! i love youuuuuu~ have a wonderful day, darling

p.s. remember to take your meds <3”

hyunjin’s gentle nature would be just what you needed

to support you

to love you

to care for you, not only emotionally but also physically

he’d be like a sheltering tree for you

grounded and calm with deep roots, but able to bend with whatever wind your depression/anxiety decided to gust through your lives

han jisung

jisung would…

well, jisung would just:

“AAAAAY, ANXIETY BUDDIES!!” (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ;;;;;;

ajkdfhaljkfghaljf

definitely not the response you’d been expecting

but it was perfect nonetheless

you spent an afternoon together just talking about how your anxiety and depression manifested

what helped you to cope

what helped him to cope

which meds you took and if there was anything jisung should be particularly aware of

he’d be really interested in just how your depression and anxiety manifest

bc in order to care for you and help

he wants to know what bit of your brain chemistry has decided to fuck shit up

(sometimes jisung feels like he needs to fuck shit up, too. but really? come oooon y/n’s brain)

he’d leave you notes reminding you to do things when your ability to focus goes completely out the window

you’d wake up to find one of those large sheets of poster paper taped to the ceiling above your bed, saying:

“i love you, even if you have depression/anxiety that makes you forget to do the dishes. again. you’re still my little gremlin <3”

jisung would give you any and all resources he has to help you

he’d probably even write songs for you

there’d probably a mixtape out there somewhere of him screaming at your depression and anxiety

telling them to leave you the fuck alone

bc you’re too wonderful to have to deal with that shit

your weekends together would be spent in the bedroom

under the covers

giggling your asses off

and cuddling

bc it’s dangerous outside the blanket  ( ｀^´ )

lee felix

felix would be so chill about it

you’d tell him and he’d just be like

“okay! so what kinds of toppings did you want me to put on this pizza again?”

you’d just kinda blink at him

you’d been worrying about what he’d say

and if he’d leave you or something

(thanks, irrational brain. love you. NOT! ffs)

as if lee felix would ever leave you,,,,,,

it was a relief not to worry about that

felix would still bundle you up in the biggest hugs ever

and smile his sunshine-filled smile at you

honestly, that alone should be enough to cure depression

but, unfortunately, it’s not

((*shakes fist at depression/anxiety*))

but with felix’s smile and meds, you’re feeling much better, thank you

felix would try to make life brighter for you after finding out

he’d understand that sometimes you want to do things but just can’t

there’s no rhyme nor reason to it

and it wouldn’t matter to him

bc he’d still get to spend time with you, even if it just meant sitting on the couch watching movies

felix would know that sometimes he would just have to make decisions for you

not in a controlling way

but just because your anxiety over making decisions and following through with things would get the better of you

he’d make sure you drink water and eat lots of yummy food

his deep voice is the most calming thing oh my god

and whenever you have an anxiety/panic attack

felix would immediately catch you up in his arms and slow dance with you through the entire episode

even if you’re barely able to stand, he’d hold you up and support you

just so, at an incredibly scary time, you’d have the most loving arms around you

kim seungmin

you were having a panic attack when seungmin came over one time

and you’d just kinda slumped against the wall as soon as he’d come in the door

aaaand you’d had to explain what was going on

but seungmin had just helped you breathe deeply

and eventually you’d calmed down to the point that you felt like

well, like a limp noodle (＠_＠)

you know that feeling when your body is so exhausted from having a panic attack

that you can’t exactly do much else?

yeah. that.

so, he would be glad that you have meds for your depression/anxiety

like jisung, seungmin would want to have A Stern Conversation with your depression/anxiety

bc he’s tired of its shit ψ(｀-´ )ψ

not because he can’t deal with it or you

no

because he hates to see you in so much distress

also,,,,,,

no one should have to feel like there’s no joy left in the world, irrational thinking rules their brain, and like they’re trapped in a cycle of dysfunction, no matter how hard they try

bc sometimes just trying isn’t enough

and seungmin understands that~

sometimes you just need a little outside help

he’d come up with all sorts of things he could do for you to help ease your anxiety

he’d write down all your triggers just so he’d know what avoid

or what to tell other people to avoid alkdfjhakljdfh

bc we all know seungmin is that person (-_-;)・・・

when he found out that you have trouble deciding on food at restaurants

he’d immediately printed out the menus to all the restaurants you loved

just so you could take your time deciding at home

and not feel overwhelmed

aksjfhlskfjdh what a good bean

seungmin is just a sweetie who wants the best for you, really

plus, when you’re feeling better….

the two of you can go on adventures!! (⌒▽⌒)

yang jeongin

jeongin would be a little baffled that someone’s brain could be that cruel to them

“you mean you sometimes just can’t be happy?”

“yep, or function, really. sometimes moving or getting out of bed or eating just isn’t a thing”

‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚

“don’t worry about. i’m on meds for it so it’s not as bad”

(◕︵◕);;;;

“jeongin i promise it’s okay…..”

“HHHHHHHHHH”

you just ended up cuddling him and explaining how depression and anxiety worked

(or rather, how fucking annoying and, even, debilitating they are)

that made him happier bc he understood

he’d try to help you do things that help with the depression

like going for walks

or drinking enough water

definitely regulating your sleep

jeongin: “i know, i know, y/n! it’s hard but you haaaave to wake up”

y/n: “mmph” (￢_￢)

jeongin: *lightly swats you with a pillow* “get! up!!”

y/n: *grumpgrumpgrump*

nights are even harder alkjhsjkslkfjhs

jeongin, on the phone: “no you’re not being a night owl tonight. no! y/n~~~~ come on, i’m tired and wanna go to sleep”

y/n: “but i’m not tired!! i’m just gonna play one more round of this and then go to bed. i promise!”

jeongin, not having any of your shit: “uhuh….”

y/n, *sweats*: “i promiiiiiiiiise”

…………………

3 am

jeongin, via email: “this is an automated reminder to  G O  T O  S L E E P”

y/n: “shit.”

he’d want to be there to listen to you whenever you needed him

even though he doesn’t have much experience with this sort of thing

jeongin would do his best as a kind and properly aware person

like everyone else, he just wants you to be okay

OUAT Thoughts Pt. 17--Episodes 14-15

I have watched through S2E14; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for anyone further behind than I am.

Ended up saving Andor for the weekend, so I had time to watch OUAT. Enjoy!

—Okay no. I’ve had it up to here with villains winning because they hold one person hostage to get an object the hero possesses. This hostage is usually a person who would die for good, if given the choice—actually, these people often say something along the lines of “don’t do it, you’ll be letting the villain win.” Good is not saving one person’s life by screwing over everyone else. Cora having that dagger is always going to be a worse option than one person dying. It’s literally not even a debate. Perhaps the idea of such a conundrum is to point out that the hero’s weakness is being too good—but then it also tacks on stupidity and shortsightedness, free of charge. If a villain threatens to kill a hostage if they don’t get their magical world-destroying object, the hero is not the badguy for choosing to keep the object and let a single person die.

—Aaaaay, Mrs. Patmore! It’s a shame she had to die so soon, but she was gonna die either way.

—Also, heroes are pretty dumb for ever believing the villain won’t just kill the hostage anyway. Like, I wouldn’t gamble the fate of the world or the fate of hundreds/thousands of others for the possibility of saving one person.

—Y’all, I been so steamed about the cliches of Good v. Evil that I forgot Mr. Gold is dying!…And now my emotional pain returns.

—The only possible bright side is that there is the world’s tiniest possibility of Mr. Gold and Baelfire being un-estranged eventually.

—The other very dark side (you know, besides death) is that Mr. Gold will probably end up under Cora’s control. Or she’ll kill him. Man death is persistent.

—Rumplestiltskin’s soldier uniform was pretty.

—His wife is an arse. She told him that she would rather he died. I have no love for him pulling a Thomas Barrow, but I would rather have my spouse home with an injury, self-inflicted or otherwise, than dead.

—Young Snow White’s dresses are gorgeous. A little stiff, perhaps, but so well decorated.

—The Good Queen’s red dress was stunning, also. Once again, well decorated.

—That Seer girl was creepy as heck. It’s not bad enough that she has eyes on her hands, she also has to have stitches all over her face?

—Then she grows up and Rump gives her the High Five of Destiny and she dies. GG.

—I understand Bae not wanting to talk to Mr. Gold. He’s got a load of trauma. On the other hand, Mr. Gold has been searching for him and manipulating the entire world to find him for centuries. On another hand, a lot of Bae’s trauma is heavily associated with magic. It’s complicated and messy, but my end goal is to see Mr. Gold apologize properly, start reforming, and to have a friendly relationship with his son again.

—Snow White having a brat moment as a kid is a good move. My number one love for Snow White is that she is deeply and fundamentally good, but a child does not start that way. That’s simply not how human beings work. Her becoming a better person wasn’t an especially complicated, but that’s fine, because she passed a hard test for a good reason.

—After Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, Snow curtseying to her mother’s body made me a lil weepy. (My mom, too. She loves royal stuff from all over the world. She watched all of the important moments from Her Majesty’s funeral proceedings live.)

—Rump’s story now has a bit of a cliche in it, but this one I don’t mind much. He’s become like the parental person he always swore he would never be like, and that is such a real and possible thing that I like seeing it. It’s easier than we like to think that we might turn out like people who have disappointed, which is ironic because we spend so much of our time worrying about it. But it is possible to do better, even if you do fail yourself in such a manner, which I hope is portrayed for Rump in the following episodes.

—I don’t want Snow White to be a bad person. Emma is our morally dubious hero for the series; Snow’s appeal, as mentioned above, is that she is good. She turns the other cheek, she pulls for the other person, she believes in good itself. Of all the people to turn dark, she’s the one I wouldn’t want—but I suppose that’s why she was picked. Also, that might put her into direct confrontation with Charming, which I’m not relishing the idea of.

—Bae’s a Lost Boy. That’s fun. Are we gonna find out that he’s actual fricking Peter Pan at some point, too?

—If we can have stuff from story sources that aren’t Grimm/Anderson, we should get some Nightmare Before Christmas characters. Not as mains, but as a side adventure into another world for a limited time.

—Bae’s fiancee can’t possibly be a regular person. He’s known about Storybrooke for a while, and he requested to be notified when the curse was broken, so obviously he expected to come into contact with those people again. I don’t think he’d really drag a regular woman into that disaster.

—I also don’t think that A) Rump would draw a map to his dagger, or that B) Belle would be stupid enough to leave that notecard in her purse. Which leads to the possibility that the map was a fake, which is frankly the most plausible idea.

—Hiding the dagger in the clock hand was brilliant.

—It’s fun that future sight is being depicted as a burden. It’s easier to have a Seer be just an omnipotent person who gives advice, but in a vague or cryptic form, and who really doesn’t seem to suffer for it. The idea that the future is simply too much for one person to see is an interesting take.

—Henry eating his way across the eastern seaboard has been just about the only part of that journey that isn’t entirely tragic. Cinnabon, hot dog, pizza…what next?

—Probably some weird-ass pirate food. Whatever Hook has on board his ship.

—I want to know more about whatever beef Cora had with the Good Queen. Were they sisters? Were they friends? Is that even going to be explored later? So many questions! —I feel very smart having figured out that Bae was Henry’s father.

—Thanksgiving would be awkward for these people. I kind of want to see that.

—Pinocchio threatening Bae with a typewriter was hilarious. I mean, it was supposed to be serious, and it kinda was, but come on!

—Still wondering where Pinocchio has wandered off to. But at this point I don’t expect to ever find out.

[turnaboutimagines]

Aaaaay so how about that good Edgeworth content with him looking for potted plants with his s/o? >:3c

bless!!!  you know how soft i am for flowerth content.

Moving in together was exciting… stressful, but exciting.  Your better half was meticulous in planning and arranging everything and now that you’re more settled in, it’s time to start sprucing up your shared living space and turn it into something special.  And that’s how you find yourself in a local greenhouse that Miles had recommended, looking for some potted plants to create a more soothing atmosphere at your suggestion.

It’s hard not to laugh as you rest your elbow on the cart and your chin in your palm, just watching him.  He’s been staring between the areca and parlor palms for—you check the watch on your phone again—exactly five minutes already.  You’re pretty sure that the furrow between his brows is deep enough to give the Mariana trench a run for its money.

“… Everything all right in there, Miles?  If you glare any harder, I think you might scare the leaves off those plants.”

“Hm?” he turns toward you, expression relaxing automatically as he does so.  Clearly, he hadn’t actually heard anything you said.  Probably for the best…

“You’ve been staring at those plants for a long time now.  What’re you thinking about?”

“Ah, I was simply trying to evaluate which of these palms has a more calming presence, as the differing lighting requirements for either won’t be an issue in our bedroom.  So, it’s a matter of choosing which one will have the greatest aesthetic impact.”

You glance at them and purse your lips before looking back to him, not really sensing what he’s been internally debating about.  “Well, talk it out to me, then.”

“This areca palm is most pleasing to look at, given its finer leaflets and more elegant curvature.”  He then points to the parlor palm rather emphatically.  “Yet this particular parlor palm is more even in its vertical distribution of foliage, which I quite appreciate.  Yet I find that the dispersal of the leaflets isn’t quite as symmetrical, as there are more gaps.  It gives it a rather different vibe”—he turns back to you—”wouldn’t you say?”

You can’t help but stare at him, unsure whether to be alarmed or impressed by the fact that his strong aesthetic sense seems to extend to plants.  All you know for sure is that it is very endearing.

“I s’pose it does, yes…  But why don’t we get both?  As you said, there are spots in our bedroom for both of them.  And it sounds like you find both of them calming to look at… I’m in the same boat, really.  They both look nice to me!”

He begins to tap his finger on his arm, tilting his head to one side as he gave your suggestion further thought.  “Hmph, perhaps.  I considered such a possibility, myself, but couldn’t that potentially be too much?”

“I don’t think so,” you say, eyes lighting up with a hint of mischief.  “But I can try and read your palms to see if buying both is in your future.”

“That won’t be necessary,” he says, giving you a pointed look at your pun, although the subtlest upturn of his lips betrays him.  “We’ll get both, then, and remove all doubt.”

With that settled, he carefully placed both plants in your cart with an unexpected gentleness reserved only for plants, his dog, and (of course) you.

FINALLY DONE WITH WHAT I WANTED TO UPLOAD ON 413 BUT COULDN’T BECAUSE I SUCK AAAAAY!1! :DD

More Sanderstuck, because what did you guys expect from me, pffft But yeah, fake hiveswap friendsim screenshots that where SO FUN to make, holy smokes, you guys have no idea :’o

The hardest part on this whole thing was coming up with typing quirks for everyone, let me tell you that adsjakldja

Patton capitalizes the letter ‘n’ and starts/ends his sentences with a heart ‘♥’ . Heart because it’s Patton, and N because the canon extended zodiac I got going for him remembers me of the letter N.

Logan changes ‘i’ and ‘o’ into ‘1′ and ‘0′, ’cause binary code.

Roman changes ‘o’ into ‘•’ I’ll admit, no reason in particular, i just couldn’t think of anything better asdjlkadjskl

Virgil doubles his ‘v’ and pauses a lot between words, so he uses lot’s of ‘...’ also everything is in low caps unless he is angry.

Deceit adds two more ‘s’ to any word with an ‘s’ on it, ‘cause he is a snake boi.

Remy uses broken english mainly changing anything with ‘th’ at the beggining with ‘d’, he also randomly capitalizes words that are mean to be important somehow. 

ALSO, NONE OF THE BACKGROUND WHERE MADE BY ME. They are official backgrounds made by the Hiveswap Friendsim team, I just did the sprites and text of the boios. And yeeeah...the texts in the text boxes have SOME story behind them...mainly how the gang live their lives and their struggles in my AU and their views on troll society as a whole and how much it sucks! :DD and low-key their stories in the AU i guess?? not gonna go that much into detail right now, feel free to ask about it if your curious pfff Under Read More, there will be the sprites by themselves, since they did get cut to fit the text boxes and all, and because I putted a lot of effort in making them look as close as the Hiveswap Friendsim sprite style as I could, which was quite difficult :’) Quickly tagging @smokeyrutilequartz​ since they seemed to like the WIP i posted with Troll!Patton soooo...hope you don’t mind adklasjkdja

wizards of mickey magicstone

Well the “aaaaays” have it. Before I begin, a little bit about Wizards of Mickey for those who are wondering what the hell that is and that is essential to understanding what I thought up.

Short version is, a short-lived Disney series about a fantasy AU where everyone's a wizard. Everyone's a wizard, EVERYONE, pluto's got magic, fuck even the dragons were wizards. Anyway, Magica and two original characters for the comic were recurring villains – Neraja, the hot tall one, who's boyfriend got turned into a beast, and Garma, the old short one, who just wanted power. Magica, no great shock, wanted money. These three teamed up to join a tournament but good lord they hated each other, pretty much constantly back-stabbing each other and making you wonder why they thought this was a goddamn good idea at all.

Anyway, as for Gladstone, he didn't really have a role, so far as I remember. Just a panel appearance where he tried to woo Daisy in a flashback, and that was about it. Thus, it lets me headcanon like hell.

Get it? Got it? Good, onto the ideas, under the cut because knowing me this is gunna get long.

Long after the tournament, the three witches are still looking for ways to obtain their goals, reluctantly sticking together. Traveling in the desert, Magica spots a body in one of the dunes, and heads on over, thinking maybe there's a wallet she can grab, with the other two witches following suit. But when she kneels down to check him over, he momentarily wakes, dizzily says “You're... beautiful” then passes back out.

(A few studio ghibli fans just squinted and look it's a cute as hell intro SUE ME)

Magica and Neraja are more than willing to just keep going, but Garma gives him a once-over with her magic and gasps in shock – this man is magically gifted with magicells! (“... with what” “OH MY GOD DON'T YOU TWO EVER LISTEN WHEN I TEACH YOU THINGS”) In other words, he can become a familiar! (“... a what” “GODDAMMIT COME ON”) Garma explains that the man has a rare magical anomaly called “magicells” where every single cell of his body is amplified with powerful magic, making him stronger than the average user. This kind of phenomenon is a one in a million chance, but as a result it can be hard to control and takes a physical toll on him. If a witch/warlock could make him their familiar, the witch/warlock's own magical power would increase ONE HUNDRED FOLD! HOT DAMN LET'S DO THIS -

Except, Garma points out, there are two conditions. First, a familiar can only be assigned to one person. Second, the to-be-familiar has to sign a physical contract willingly with their own blood, the name of the witch/warlock they will belong to. They decide to figure out how later and drag him to their makeshift home, each one planning to make the guy their own familiar. Magica tries to scheme – Neraja's a real beauty, so she can't beat her there (and assumes that when the guy was saying “you're beautiful” he meant Neraja), and Garma's the powerhouse, so she can't work there either. So, take away seduction and fear... pity and guilt, that's the ticket! Magica reads the man's mind, and poofs herself into his ideal woman (the matilda look!)

The man eventually regains consciousness, calling himself Gladstone Gander. He'd been heading to his uncle's kingdom when the magicells took their toll on him and he passed out sooner than expected. He's... very suspicious of these women who keep fighting over his company, though they don't tell him why. He's got a twisted ankle they refuse to heal, so he has to wait out. Neraja's seduction tactics don't work on him (helps that her beast boyfriend keeps getting jealous and dragging him away) and Garma doesn't scare him, since his good luck keeps saving his hide. In comes Magica, making up a sob story about how she's forced to work for those two in a Cinderella situation, which Gladstone only partially buys.

“I'll take such good care of you, poor dear~! How about a cup of tea~?”

“Hm, yeah, that'd be nice.” “Okay, I'll-”

“With a pinch of sugar, a dallop of milk, and you've got honey, don't you?” “... Uh, yeah, I can-”

“And don't forget the lemon squeeze, and then you can fluff my pillows, and how about getting some music in here?”

“... /URGE TO MURDER RISES/”

So, yeah, no surprise, Gladstone is a goddamn terrible houseguest, driving them all up the wall. But that allows him to see the 'real' Magica when she loses her temper, and bit by bit he actually does begin to feel sorry for her. When his leg is healed, he asks Magica why she doesn't just... up and leave these two. Magica pauses – why DOESN'T she leave these nutjobs? They keep trying to kill each other, and they constantly get in the way. So she slips Neraja and Garma sleeping spells in their drinks, and escapes with him. She's still determined to get him as a familiar, so she's not leaving his side anytime soon.

As they journey to Scrooge's kingdom, it's backstory time! Gladstone reveals he's been used time and time again for his “good luck”, a.k.a his magicells, so he's pretty much given up on having any meaningful relationships. (And having a job, but that's just because he's fucking lazy) Magica admits that she grew up poor, and her parents tried to marry her off to a rich man so they could move up in society. Young Magica said “screw this” and took off, deciding that if she was going to be rich, it'd be by her own terms and her own happiness. Gladstone is wondering why Magica is still sticking around him if he's not trying to use her, and she keeps lying, saying she wants to be his friend. Of course, day by day, it becomes a little less of a lie...

Kingdom get! While Magica is trying to think of a way to make Gladstone sign the contract, she spots Neraja and Garma in the corner of her eye! Crap, they must have chased after them to get Gladstone!! But if Gladstone knows they were followed, he'd suspect something was up!!! She has to distract him and make sure the women pass on by, WHAT DO?! In a moment of desperation, she does the classic trick, the Fake Out Make Out – yanking in Gladdy for a big ol' smooch while the women walk on by, oblivious to the couple. Magica will apologize later, once it's over... and... uh... why is it... not over yet...???

Little hard to do the Fake Out part when the other partner isn't faking – Gladstone is returning the hell out of that kiss, much to Magica's shock (and enjoyment let's be real here) and when they finally remember to breathe, he asks to see the REAL her – yeah, he put two and two together that the black-haired beauty and the blonde in front of him are one and the same. Magica flusters WAIT A SECOND I THOUGHT BLONDES WERE YOUR TYPE??? “a guy can have more than one type :3” well isn't this awkward. Gladstone still hasn't figured out the familiar deal and Magica's finding it harder to talk about it.

They stay in Gladstone's place, and Magica has to leave just to get her thoughts together and understand what's going in her head. But Neraja sees Magica leaving, and sees a chance to get Gladstone for herself! She magically disguises herself as Magica (except in super sexy clothes) and strolls back in to seduce Gladstone, who is VERY STARTLED BY AMGICA IN SEXY CLOTHES BUT NOT REALLY COMPLAINING BECAUSE HE'S THE WORST. Thankfully Poe, Magica's raven, notices something's amiss, especially with that familiar beast outside – he nicks a piece of fur from its back and flies for his mistress, who instantly understands and runs back! Gladstone, meanwhile, is starting to get an idea that something's not right (NOOO REALLY) but Neraja's got her magic set in him now, good and hypnotized, ready to sign the contract... when Magica bursts in GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM and magic battle! Which... blows off a wall, sorry Gladstone you didn't need that, right??? But all this destruction catches Garma's attention, and she summons up painful vines to trap Magica, Neraja and Gladstone.

Pained consent is still consent, right? Details shmetails. Garma uses the vines to give Gladstone pain while telling him that Magica was using him all alone for the contract deal, much to Magica's anguish, since she can't really deny it. Gladstone hands his head... bitterly laughs... of course... why should this have been different? … Hey, Garma, whatever your name is... if I sign this thing of yours... can you erase my memories...?

Yeah sure, why not. Garma holds up the magic contract, pricking Gladstone's finger, watching him sign. Magica screams, having never been so angry in her life... why couldn't you two HAVE LEFT WELL ENOUGH ALONE?! In fact, she gets so pissed off she breaks free from the vines and begins DELIVERING THE PAIN TO GARMA. Neraja manages to catch a glimpse at the contract, and what a surprise – Gladstone spelled Magica's name instead! So his power is being shared with hers! Awww. Also oh fuck because she's nexy, with Magica finally kicking both of them out of the kingdom and threatening to RIP THE FLESH FROM THEIR BONES IF SHE EVER SEES THEM AGAIN!

… and once she calms down, uh, wait, why did you sign my name, aren't you mad as hell at me??? For using you??? Yes, yes he is, but he figured if hes going to be used by someone, it may as well be with the “cute one”. GOD GLADSTONE YOU ARE ANNOYING AS HELL she's not blushing shut the hell up. … oh and scrooge wants to know WHY HIS KINGDOM HAS A FUCKING HUGE HOLE IN IT so here come adventures where Magica and Gladstone have to travel around and pay him back oops.

… sometime later when reading Gladstone learns that the “familiar spell” wasn't originally called that, and thousands of years ago it was a ritual so that a witch/warlock could share their power with their significant other as a way to help those they loved most – in other words, it was a wedding ritual. Uh... let's not tell Magica that for a while...

(the end hope you enjoyed it, now off I go to think of a witch/incubus magicstone nonsense and mickeyminnie pinocchio au I don't know how to think normally)

Hestia, Artemis, and Eros?

thank you! ♥︎

i actually answered all of them, but i have decided with this game there is not only one answer (also i am very indecisive) and so:

hestia: describe your ideal house

i described my ideal house already but now i will describe my ideal apartment/home for the next few years. a 3 bedroom apartment in the middle of copenhagen. cheap rent so i don’t have to worry too much about finances. big light rooms. in an old neighbourhood (shouldn’t be so hard in copenhagen). close to my studies. a big kitchen so i can cook with my roommate. filled with plants and flowers. so many photos. cluttered with books. always filled with people and laughter. aaaaay cheesy i love it.

artemis: favourite animal and why?

other than penguins.. probably like deer i think. so majestic and beautiful. generally really chill and slow moving but then they can just??? run!! wow. i love going to this park in denmark where they live in the wild. just sit quietly until a doe comes up behind you. incredible.

eros: describe your crush

fuck this is actually so so hard... well uhm. i guess i have like a tiny crush on my friend?? it’s not serious and she’s very much straight but. so cute. blond, so pretty. everyone is a little bit in love with her i swear. she’s just so free and fun and clumsy. i love her. great energy.  

send me a greek god?

[angel-with-a-pipette]

Aaaaay, I did it! I finished my first little Terraqua piece, I hope you guys enjoy it ;_;

Title: May I have this Dance?

Summary: Christmas tradition calls for cookies, mulled wine and the Command board. But with Ven being asleep, Terra and Aqua decide to spend the evening differently for once.

Rating: K

Also available on: ao3 | ff.net

Please enjoy!

Aqua couldn’t help but smile at the sight in front of her.

Ven was sprawled all over the love seat closest to the fireplace in the living room, with one of his legs hanging over the armrest while the other one dangled off the edge of the seat. His sweater had ridden up a little, exposing a part of his stomach, and drool started to collect in corner of his mouth while he clutched a half-empty cookie jar to his chest, his face totally relaxed and calm.

Carefully as to not wake him, Aqua wiggled the cookie jar out of Ven's grasp and placed it on the coffee table, next to the Command Board the teen had fetched earlier for their traditional Christmas gaming night. Quickly searching the room, she located a fluffy blanket and draped it over his slumbering body. Tucking him in, she petted his head softly before she returned into the kitchen, nearly walking right into Terra.

"Cookie coma?"

"Cookie coma."

Terra rolled his eyes good-naturedly and stepped back to the stove where he had been heating up some mulled wine for the three of them. It was their usual ritual: After Christmas dinner, Terra and Aqua would take care of the dishes and leftovers while Ven would start a fire in the living room and fetch blankets and the Command Board for them to play all evening.

"He must have secretly eaten tons of sweets today; he usually doesn't fall asleep until our third round on the board. Now what?"

"Give him a break, Terra!" Aqua playfully nudged him with her elbow and went to fetch their favorite mugs from the cupboard while subconsciously humming along to the faint music coming from the radio on the window sill. "He was so excited he barely slept and then he ran errands for me well into the afternoon. He really deserves his sleep."

"But playing the Command board with only two people is no fun at all," Terra continued lamenting as he searched through one of the drawers to pull out a ladle, "we'll have to do something else to pass the time until he wakes up."

Aqua passed him their mugs and raised an inquisitive eyebrow while Terra nonchalantly began to pour their drinks.

"You have something in mind, then?"

"How about dancing?"

Pure surprise spread over Aqua's face. "Dancing?!" She parroted dumbly, just to make sure, and indeed, Terra nodded at the radio, placing their mugs on a tray and turning off the stove.

"We already got some music playing and I thought 'Why not?'"

Aqua crossed her arms in front of her chest. "'Why not'? You hate dancing, that's why."

Terra just shrugged when he stepped closer to Aqua. "I don't mind it as long as it makes you happy."

Heat spread through her entire being and she felt her cheeks and ears heat up as Terra stared at her lovingly, brushing a stray piece of hair behind her ear.

"Terra," she still argued, weaker this time not only due to Terra's charm but also due to his fingers lingering at her ear, waiting for the perfect opportunity to cup her cheek, and she gently curled her fingers around his, pulling his arm down to allow her to think straight. "I appreciate it, but...," looking away from him, she bit her lip before she continued, "no offense, but you've got two left feet. The Master got more exasperated teaching you how to dance than teaching Ven not to run inside of the Castle."

"How about I prove you wrong, then?"

Before Aqua was able to look up again, Terra had tugged at her hand that had grasped his own so firmly, pulling her towards him and at the same time raising their arms above their heads. He smoothly spun her around herself and she came to rest against his body in a perfect dancer's stance, her left hand holding his shoulder right above his bicep while his right hand gently pressed against her shoulder blade.

Her brain didn't manage to catch up before a new song started playing on the radio and Terra used her stunned silence to start the dance.

They danced effortlessly, even through the narrow place that the kitchen allowed them to use, turning and spinning around and she barely realized that she started to laugh happily halfway through their dance.

Too soon for Aqua's taste the song ended, and while Terra seemed way too eager to continue dancing, she pushed away from him gently, slightly breathless, and she could imagine her own cheeks being as flushed as Terra's looked.

"Terra! That was - wow!"

She spun around once, the back of her hand pressed against her forehead, before she grabbed Terra's sweater to steady herself.

"What was that?! Since when can you dance like this? And more importantly: Why did you never tell me?!"

Terra rubbed his neck in discomfort and averted his gaze.

“You know I remember my time as Ansem's apprentice Xehanort?"

Aqua nodded. Of course she did - having four sets of disjointed memories had been so overwhelming for Terra that he had been unconscious for two days upon returning.

"There was this one day when Ansem the Wise held a ball, I can't remember the reason, but," he shuffled a little bit on his feet and Aqua let go of him to give him space, "it turns out Xehanort was quite the skilled dancer."

"Oh," Aqua answered, her mouth forming the same letter.

"I thought if I had to live with his memories, I should at least make some use of them."

Aqua bit her lip and frowned at that.

They rarely talked about how Xehanort's possession of Terra made him feel and whenever she or Ven tried to talk to Terra about it, he shut down, claiming to need more time that both were more than willing to give him. But maybe it was time for them to start nudging him to talk after all?

"Sorry, it was a stupid idea."

"Huh?"

Terra shook his head. "I shouldn't have tried to use something Xehanort did - I wanted to make you happy, but-"

"You did!" Aqua cut in, tugging at his sweater, “I didn’t mean to - I didn’t frown because of that!”

But Terra continued to avoid her glance, so being out of alternatives, she did the one thing she knew would get his attention: She rose to her tiptoes and kissed him.

His response was immediate, leaning into the kiss and encircling her waist to pull her close while Aqua wrapped her arms around his neck to get even closer to him. When both felt the need to breathe again, Aqua pecked Terra's lips several times before embracing him tightly and Terra took this opportunity to bury his face into his favorite spot in the crook of her neck. She smiled.

"It really made me happy, Terra," she started again and raised one hand to gently caress his hair, "it doesn't matter where you got this skill from."

"I thought taking something that was forced upon me and turning it into something good might help."

Aqua hummed in agreement. "I'm sure it'll help you - as long as you do it voluntarily."

Terra raised his head from her and touched Aqua's forehead with his. Her eyes immediately fluttered close and she reveled in the touch.

"For you? Always." His hands teasingly skimmed up her back and down her arms before he held her hands tightly, leaning away from her again (much to Aqua's disappointment).

"So, my lady," he raised her hands and gently kissed the back of each one, giving her a charming grin, "may I have this dance?"

DOCTOR ANON- AAAAAy whats shakin? ;) Got another prompt! :D K here goes...TFP Autobots reacting to human accidentally calling them dad/mom. the idea came to me when i was taking out the trash :') I have another one related to this but i'll wait till you do this one, i don't want to pamper you with asks! ;-;

*Cackles maniacally*  This is the kind of awkward silliness I live for!!  Also, don’t feel bad about sending in multiple asks.  I love this kind of stuff!  :)

Optimus:  He’s probably been accidentally called ‘dad’at least once by just about every younger bot he knows, so if doesn’t really fazehim.  He would spare you any embarrassmentand not bring it up again, but secretly he’s kind of touched (and possibly abit amused) that you consider him a father figure.  He might start acting a bit more protectivetowards you after that, but he’d be very subtle about it.

Ratchet:  When you accidentally call him ‘dad’ one day,it’s hard to say which of you is the more embarrassed about it.  He sputters and flusters and just generally doesn’tknow how to handle himself.  Later, whenhe’s alone, he does some serious introspecting about what happened.  (WTF??? Do they really see me as a father figure?!  Do I see themas my child?!  Holy frag am I actually aparent?!?!)  Once the initial shock wearsoff, he’ll come find you and apologize (albeit in a round-about way) for beingweird earlier.  The only difference nowis that Ratchet’s pretty much your robot dad for life.  Hope you don’t mind being fussed over,because he’s never letting anything bad happen to you, ever.

Bumblebee:  He’s torn between finding it cute, and beingflustered.  Also, wow!  That’s a lot of responsibility!  (I can’t have a child??  I am a child???  Optimus, help!)  Still, he takes the trust you’ve put in himvery seriously.  He’s like yourprotective older brother.  No way are anycons laying a servo on his little buddy! He’ll protect you with his very spark if need be.

Arcee:  If you accidentally call her ‘mom’, she’llinstantly freeze for a second, and then carry on as if she didn’t hear it.  Secretly though, she’s panicking on theinside.  She knows you too have a verystrong bond, but neither of you have really put it into words before.  It scares her to think how much she caresabout you.  If anything were to happen toyou, she wouldn’t know how to handle it. If possible, Arcee becomes even more protective of you; she’s not evensubtle about it either.  (Please,Arcee.  They don’t need an armed escortto go to the store.)

Bulkhead:  This poor mech would be so incrediblyflustered.  He pretty much alreadyconsiders you his kid anyway, but to hear you acknowledge him as a parentalfigure is just… wow.  He’s just really,really touched by it.  Outwardly though,he’ll probably just blush and chuckle nervously.  Whatever awkwardness there was doesn’t lastlong however, as the two of you are quick to accept how much you mean to each other.  Congratulations!  You now have a new robot dad!    

Wheeljack:  He might tease you a bit at first, but onlyif it was just an accidental slip.  If hefinds out that you actually see him as a parental figure, well, that’s adifferent story…  He might act a bitdistant towards you at first, but only because he doesn’t know what tosay.  He’s never had to be responsiblefor anyone before; this is all kind of new to him.  But once he has time to think about it, hepretty much jumps right in to the roll of guardian and protector.  You’re basically his kid now, but he’s muchmore of a ‘fun uncle’ type than he is a dad. “Hey, kid!  Wanna go take potshotsat eradicons in the Jackhammer?”  (Wheeljack,no.)

Smokescreen justlaughs.  A lot.  To the point where coolant starts to well upin his optics.  He continues to laughuntil you give him a swift, frustrated kick to his pede.  (Serves you right, Smokescreen.)

Ultra Magnus:  Well… just watch this.

[almond-joyous]

"Heeyyy, that's a pretty ACE costume, boy! I really dig the color. How do you get it to look so realistic?" (AYYY)

|| aaaaay! Your blog is AWESOMEEE! ||

"Costume?" Oh, yes. Earth had that... candy-toting holiday. Champa made a mental note to visit on that day, Vados permitting. Or maybe, he just wouldn't tell her. This guys seemed much more fun to hang with, anyway.

"Oh--right. Yeah, this isn't a costume, stranger... I do like your outfit, though. Nice shoulder pads. You live around here?"
