[klance-headcanons-official]

Klance headcannons hehhehe

lance likes to watch sports but keith doesnt like to, but he still cuddles up next to him while lance is watching. they also share a bag of potato chips when they watch together.

lance plays sports and keith comes to every game. when keith watches he gets REALLY invested. Keith yells at the other players and referees (which lance finds adorable).

Lance and keith love to bake together. lance is really bad at baking and keith is relatively good. Every time lance inevitably fucks the baking up keith pulls him in for a kiss.

my new headcannon is that keith and lance both loooove hamilton. i imagine they both love singing it together. it is their go-to song while doing chores.

keith and lance have a tv in their room (across from their bed). So when they are going to bed they can watch a movie together or something, idk.

most of the time when keith and lance goes on dates they have picnics at the same place where they first met, first kissed and got married.

keith and lance have one of those bff necklaces that are a heart that u can put together. each piece has the others name. they always wear it under whatever they are wearing no matter what.

lance loves bringing keith flowers. keith always puts them in his hair (only because lance likes when he does that), short but sweet😃

lance and keith have a golden retriever named: Sunshine. sunshine is adorable 4 year old doggo.

keith and lance always do halloween together. keith likes wearing monster costumes or horror movie costumes. keith loves chocolate bars and. lance doesnt love a certain candy and comes home with things like lollipops to sour gummies

keith and lance both love going on those public playgrounds at parks. they especially love slides and flying foxes. they own a ball-pit and a trampoline because they love playgrounds that much. lance made the decision to buy the trampoline and ball-pit and is usually the one to say "LOOK ITS A PLAYGROUND! keith plssss can we go on it? pls pls pls pls?????"

every sunday keith and lance have a day called 'Lets Do Shit Day'. they basically have a road-trip and stop and random places along the way. i will be incorporating this into my schedule.

keith would like ebony black and lance would like maya blue.

Lance wears perfume, specifically very flowery type smells. keith likes the smells of his perfume. lance alternates between 4 bottles.

lance and keith both have tumblr.

the 'voltron crew' has a dnd campaign together. each of them plays a character that has completed different traits to their own.

Lance loooves wearing disney shirts. especially disney princesses shirts that are like two sizes to small.

Lance has very cute coffee mugs

Lance and keith def play two player videoganes together. they always end in yelling stuff like "YOU WERE MEANT TELL BE THERE" or "I GAVE IT TO YOU WHERE IS IT?" but it always ends in kissy kissy.

keith listens true true crime podcasts and documentaries on the tv in their bedroom. but lance HATES true crime. so whenever keith puts it on lance runs out if the room, screaming"NOOOOOO" and then keith has to chase after him.

lance loooves sandals and crocks, they are his life!!! on the other hand keith likes dark high top converses!

Consuming Candies Pt 2: DD ❤️ GG and GG ❤️ DD

ALL FAKE. I'M MAKING SHIT UP FOR FUN. DON'T BELIEVE ME.

Intro post for this series

Once I convinced myself that DD and GG are some variety of gay, the rest is honestly not hard to conceive of. Two gay guys filming a BL adaption on a set that was open to same-sex relationships who got on really well...it's not hard to believe they'd "get together".

3. DD and GG had "a thing" around the time of the TU production. This could include the time period during filming and through the promo period. Actual timelines and details of the nature of the relationship are secondary.

If an actor and an actress hit it off as well as DD and GG did, it'd be easy for people to see that they were an item. For some reason, people struggle more to see that with two men (okay, I know the reasons, but I'm not getting into that here).

By the time I'd established 1 and 2, I'd seen enough bts and other footage to buy in to 3, as well, but here's the list of moments/candies that just nail it for me. It would be impossible for me to list out all the moments that simply scream "They're in a relationship!!!" because there's, just, a lot. So here's the short list, again, in order of most inarguable to more open to interpretation.

a) Old cow eats young grass.

That's it. That's the clip. There is no het explanation for that. I guess you could maybe claim DD was referring to GG liking younger women, but that doesn't flow with the rest of the conversation they're having. Especially with GG's comment about paying for new brake pads,

They did the gay together. More than just casually. They were an item at this time. Hands down. Case closed.

(Again, I'll get to the argument that this is all fabricated fanservice at another point)

b) The bts of DD getting into costume where he's quizzing the costume-jiejie about what GG said about him in an interview.

This is straight-up, cliche, 'shows up in freaking romance novels' behavior when you have a crush. Nobody's that concerned about what their friend is saying about them in interviews. You only care that much when you're trying to get a feel as to their feelings for you.

Also, the costume-jiejie is hilarious about it. Asking him about his response in an interview and then teasing him about not remembering what GG said about DD. She clearly has served as a sounding board for DD about his crush before, and she's amused and encouraging and teasing, all at the same time. Hats off, costume-jiejie.

c) Happy Camp moments: jealous!GG and the necklace.

I don't usually put much stock in the jealous GG/DD stories, but the instance with GG going grimdark as DD wriggled through the hole with another guy is just...again, I'm struggling to think of a context that would make sense that isn't "they are together and GG is jealous".

(I don't find jealousy cute, tbh, so I'm not jazzed about the moment. I don't know what was going on between them that led to that, but I'm glad they seemed to clear it up).

This leads to the other Happy Camp moment, seen only in fancams. The ox-head necklace that DD had been wearing scratched up his neck during the game. GG's stunned reaction to DD's injuries and his concern, plus clearly telling DD to take it off...none of this makes sense unless GG gave DD the jewelry.

Like, okay. I have a necklace my bff gave me, and I wear it a lot. It's really meaningful and sentimental. But if it were scratching up my neck, I'd take it off. If she were there while it was scratching up my neck, she'd joke about it and agree that I should take it off. She wouldn't look distraught.

My wife, on the other hand...

c) DDU's 11th anniversary episode

There's no way to describe this episode except that it really felt as if DD was having his new partner meet his fam. The fact that DDU stopped throwing women at DD after that speaks volumes.

From a), it's clear that their relationship was pretty serious (and extended after the end of filming), and having GG meet DD's DDU brothers is another indication of where their relationship was at. That's not a trivial thing.

d) GG's lack of chill during promo interviews.

I get the vibe that if they were in a relationship, GG was a lot more scared/nervous about it than DD was. He also had less experience with interviews and such. There are numerous moments where GG misunderstands, overreacts, or just acts weirdly during interviews that are hard to explain away.

- The "It's been a year" video, where DD points out that the camera is recording and GG balks at whatever he'd been saying. Cue the nervous laughter and whispered conversation between them. - The backwards pants interview question. - An interviewer asking him if being in a relationship means the end of his career (right after asking about his marriage plans--a question that made dd mad). - His weird denial of DD's waterfall story

In each case, something startles GG into a panicked silence. Then DD usually intervenes and so then GG has some nervous laughter.

Plainly, there's something he's afraid of being revealed in interviews. So much that he's seeing danger, even when it doesn't exist. Given the nature of the questions, we can see that the "thing" he's afraid of is

- him being in a relationship - something involving DD and him and a waterfall - and accidentally wearing someone else's clothes.

All involve DD. In all, DD is the one who relieves the panic and calms him down while smoothing over the interview.

It's not a leap to guess that he's in a relationship with DD that he's afraid people will find out. Sure, he'd want to hide a het relationship too, that makes sense. But then there's the pants question and the waterfall question. And the only way GG and DD's reaction to the question of whether being in a relationship would be the end of GG's career is if...GG and DD were in a relationship.

e) Hot pot.

Okay, this is where I start sounding crazy if I discuss this without prefacing with everything above ^^^. But the fact that their tastes in hot pot shifted over time to more align with each other is significant. I've read about the regional differences and how DD's sudden taste for spiciness could only really be attributable to GG, who's from an area with spicy hot pot.

This resonates with me, especially, because I was a hella picky eater when I met my wife. Like, embarrassingly picky. But then I met my wife, and she cooks and is a foodie and eventually, my palate just expanded. Now I'm a freaking foodie (and a vegetarian, like her), and our eating habits are pretty closely aligned.

Merging is real in longterm relationships. It looks like this. In my case, my wife demystified food for me with her cooking and likewise, it seems as if GG taught DD how to handle spicy stuff.

This wouldn't be significant on its own, but in conjunction with everything else *waves hands*...well, it's convincing to me.

In summary, it is blindingly obvious to me that they were a committed couple at some point after TU filmed and aired (when that commitment started is unclear, but I'm not gonna get into that here). Even after 227, it's clear that they're romantically together. I'm 100% convinced of this. Since I started drafting this, I've come across older mentions of (now gone) bts that just...there's no doubt. They weren't hiding it on set. They were just out there, exhausting everybody around them with their chaotic flirting/mating dances. It's insane and I love it.

4. DD and GG are still together.

Me: So I've been watching behind the scenes for The Untamed, and I think the two actors maybe had a thing? There's just...a lot going on there. My wife: Sounds gay. Me: I mean, some people seem convinced that they're still together because of shoes or something. That gets real out-there. But I definitely wouldn't be surprised if they had a thing during filming. My wife: (who only watched the show) I could see it. They had that chemistry.

(2 weeks later)

Me: Honey, I swear I sound crazy but I'm not. These two guys were totally together and I think they might still be together. My wife: Because of shoes? Me: I SWEAR I'M NOT CRAZY, HONEY, JUST BELIEVE ME My wife: Yes, dear. Their shoes make them gay. Me: *sobs*

When I first started dipping into things, I felt a great sadness watching older videos of them, because I'd heard that they weren't allowed to interact in public, that they probably didn't even talk to each other anymore, etc etc. YouTube's full of this, and the fans who say they're still together look, well, crazy.

It's easy to conclude they're not together anymore given that so much early evidence of their relationship is based on videos/audios. The bts, joint interviews, fan meetings, etc. We were spoiled with up-front and personal visuals of their dynamic. It's not a surprise that in the absence of that, most people just assume they don't talk or interact much anymore.

Not to mention, wandering in some years later, you get a massive dopamine hit with the bts and the promos and then there's a drop when you try to look for more recent stuff. When we could see it, their relationship seemed to alive. So real. So undeniable. But in the absence of that, the immediate instinct is to assume that lack of visibility = lack of existence.

But we have only ever seen a small slice of their lives, most of which has been selectively shown to us by them or by production companies. Both DD and GG have full lives when we're not around to see them. They each have their own career trajectories. They have vastly different hobbies and both of them have their own friend groups. We only get a glimpse of all of that, but that doesn't mean that's all there is. Especially now, when they're sharing fewer personal posts and China is cracking down on the entertainment industry.

No doubt, we only know the tiniest, most tailored portion of their personal lives these days. But back in 2019-2021, they were clearly together. Their relationship was clearly serious. They joke about shared financial decisions, get introduced to each other's on-screen and off-screen family, visit each other's set. Both of them seemed in it for the long haul.

Given that, I don't see why we should assume they have broken up just because we're years later and we don't get the joy of seeing them together anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think a break-up is impossible. Couples break up. Even couples that have been together for a while. Even couples who adore each other and try to make things work. It happens.

But there's no reason to assume that they're broken up just because we haven't seen them together recently.

I do have a couple "reasons", but this evidence won't convince anybody who doesn't believe they were ever a couple. It's only when you accept that, yeah, these 2 BL actors are actually gay and in a long-term relationship, that this seems reasonable.

a) The bone necklace.

I'm pretty well certain that the ox-head necklace was a gift from GG. The timing of the bone necklace's appearance, plus DD's attachment to it (similar to his attachment to the ox-head necklace), makes it a decent guess that the bone necklace was also a gift from GG.

We can kinda guess at the meaning. I've only seen one clip where GG has called DD gouzaizai, so I don't know if that's an actual "thing" between them. (though it's not outside the realm of possibility that they are influenced by bjyx fandom).

In any case, the bone necklace is still around. Still being worn. That's notable to me.

b) They could end this ship if they wanted to.

They have both had other pairings shut down. The fandom wars between turtles and solos is intense and causes disruption, something neither of them need. The solo fanbases are huge and it'd be a no-brainer to jettison the CPFs if you want to cut down on the type of fandom upset that gets unwanted government attention.

But they haven't.

They could have the supertopics shut down. DD could avoid being anywhere near the number 3. They could both dive into a bush rather than be around the color yellow or a turtle. DD could take a video of himself melting down the bone necklace or giving it to a pretty woman. They could starve the fandom.

But they haven't.

They keep around their gay CP, despite not publicly interacting with each other in years. They take down articles about them breaking up, pull down hot searches about them with actresses, and continue to feed the fandom with candy.

Most recently, GG went to work late on the days DD was out sick. That's not even an intentionally thrown candy. That's just us noticing a couple taking care of each other. If they weren't together, then GG, whose team certainly knows about DD being sick, could have avoided doing anything that would make it seem like he was involved with DD during that time.

But he didn't. Either their teams don't care about turtles, which seems difficult to believe given the conflicts that have arisen within the fandoms, or the teams (notably, gg and dd) want to keep turtles around. At this point, years past the point the show is out, years past the time the two have even been seen together, there's no rational business reason to hold on to the turtles.

That's not neutral. They're not keeping turtles engaged for economic reasons. They're not keeping turtles engaged just for shits and grins (the joke has run a little long for that). They're keeping turtles around because they're getting something of value from having us around.

Honestly, I think having a huge contingent of cpf cheerleaders is probably comforting when they aren't allowed to express their feelings for each other publicly. It's probably weird and sometimes probably intrusive, like most stuff with fans, but they still have millions of people who embrace them as a couple when they live in a country that is hostile to their relationship. Who in that situation wouldn't want to keep that?

In sum, I had to get past the "too good to be true" hurdle. The automatic dismissal of BL fangirl fantasies. I mean, BLs often market to those fantasies, so a healthy dose of skepticism seems reasonable. I don't honestly blame people for dismissing it when they only have a passing familiarity with the whole thing.

It took a lot for me to see past that, and to see that this is the one case (that I'm aware of) where the fantasy is real. I think it's notable that this "fantasy" doesn't actually look like the fanservice fantasy often served up in BLs. I mean, ggdd have their moments, but they're also snippy, jealous, possessive, lewd, awkward, and just plain weird sometimes. They're real and that's messy and that makes it even more real.

In the next part of this little series, I'll talk more about the fanservice question, plus fanfic, and The Timeline. That post requires more editing, so it probably won't go out until next week.

Just remember it's all fake and nothing I say is true.

Here, i finally finished this💀

Meet my Zelink fan kids! I have alot planned for them, but I'm too shy to actually share everything, especially bc I've only now just started fully exploring Totk (i got the game around last month) and so i wanna make sure I'm like, canon accurate, but i wouldn't mind answering questions about them👉👈

Anyhow, some fun facts about the desings:

Sonia has scars on her eyes and the tip of her left ear, why? The ones on her eyes were caused by a wolf she came across the one time she ran away from home (due to her jealousy over her sister when she was born, it's a long story), the one on her ear is bc of a bird she tried to grab once since Adira thought it was cute and wanted to pet it (Adira was 2, Sonia was 5)

Sonia's earring was a gift from her bff/crush, a gerudo girl that imma keep secret for now bc I'm still working on her

Adira's feather necklace is a gift from her close buddy/bff, a rito, which I'm also gonna be hush hush about for now

Adira messes around with alot of not so safe devices out of curiosity and the need to create, but gets her hands dirty/hurt in the process, hence the band-aids

They both have small fangs thanks to their mom (iykyk)

Adira's favorite color is pink, Sonia's is blue

Also, huge thanks to @carogdraws for helping me desing their clothes! It was a huge help and i probably wouldn't have done it without it ^^

Now, those are the extra info i have for them, the rest of the basic info i have already shared will be under the cut

Yes it was copy pasted from the last post i did about them, but i have a need to keep everything in one neat little post sue me

The two girls are 3 years apart. Oldest is Sonia (yes, named after Queen Sonia herself), and the youngest is Adira

Sonia is more like her dad, especially in terms of looks, but she inherited her mother's eyes and thurst for answers. She's very energetic and adventurous and likes helping others

She tends to be the guinea-pig to a lot of her sister's projects and creations since she has almost no self-preservation. She enjoys it tho, thinking it as a fun activity to try out new things and hang out with her sister. She also enjoys carving things, mainly toys and masks. Most of her sister's toys were made by her when they were around 11 and 8

Although she is usually quite the airhead, and not really the brightest (like her dad, cough-), she definitely inherited her mother's overthinker mind. Doesn't help that she also tends to think little of herself, being the firstborn of the Princess and Hero themselves, alot of people put her under alot of high expectations and although her parents tried their best to show she didn't have to prove her worth, the gossip around town was hard to ignore, doesn't help the fact that her sister has started to become a prodigy to her mom, creating inventions to help hyrule and planning to bring the royal system back when she's old enough

Sonia though, has no intention of bringing the royal life back, nor to continue it. Like her dad she wants to explore, she's fascinated by history and wants to disvover every small relic left unseen. And she wants to travel beyond Hyrule one day as well and help those she comes across her path. But also perhaps, escape the duties and expectations others put on top of her, and perhaps prove herself better then those expectations

She loves her sister tho, despite everything, and will never admit to her how jelouse she actually is of Adira. How jealous she was of Adira of being able to hang out with their mom so much, have so much in common with her, sometimes she wonders if she has anything from her mom other then her eyes

Adira is alot like her mother, especially in the looks department, but she has her father's eyes and thurst for chaos. She's usually quiet, but very sassy when needs be, and although seeming quite shy, she got quite the temperament and wont hold back her tounge

Like mentioned previously she becoms a prodigy to her mom, creating and getting invested on inventions to help hyrule and planning to bring the royal system back when she's old enough. She spends most of her time studying and working on anything technology finding it fun to see what possible outcomes it came give

Although sometimes the pressure is too much, as much as her parents give her the liberty to explore her interests, as she had started to show advancements in her creations and helping hyrule, as well as proclaiming to bring back the kingdom (even tho she was a child when she said that), all eyes were now set on her and she is terrified of any failure, and to disappoint everyone, she usually confides on her sister who never cared of her status and just liked to be around her for her (and well, she felt too embarrassed about it to tell her parents about it, they didn't need to worry about such simple things in her eyes, they already fought the townsfolk so much bc of that, she didn't want to make them dislike her parents bc of her)

She admires her sister alot, looks up to her and wishes she could be as cool as her, as free as her, but she isn't good in any sort of physical activities and is usually just stuck in the lab. And that causes a smidge of jealousy as Sonia is able to bond more with their dad then Adira ever could, she feels like she has nothing in common to her dad other then his eyes and need for chaos (which the second part was something looked down apon by others)

And those are the basics i have so far, there is more but I'm unsure about it for now, and aren't 100% concrete yet, so i wont share at the moment

But before i end this, here are some small fun facts:

Both Sonia and Adira are pure glutons, just like their dad XD. They have cooking sessions together quite often, helping around the kitchen when they can;

Sonia loves horses as much as her dad does, but she is terrified of riding them, because when she was little and riding one for the first time, the person who set settle on didn't do it properly and she fell, head first into a rocky ground, and to add onto it, the horse stepped right onto her pinky. Now she has small panic attacks trying to ride them

Sonia actually used to hate Adira. Since Adira was a rainbow baby, Zelda and Link did kinda get overprotective with her and accidentally neglected Sonia. That didn't last long after Sonia did cause a whole scene with running away and almost getting killed- but that's likez a whole other story in itself lol (i might make a more detailed post about this later). But after that incident, they were able to work things out, and Sonia ended up being way more protective over Adira than her own parents

I’d love to hear more about your space themed magical girl if it’s okay to ask!

of course!!! I love talking about my girlie

So, this is Tsuki Hikaru, aka the Starlit Sonata (people refer to her just by "Sonata" tho, the starlit part is optional). She didn't start out as a magical girl, hell I wouldn't have even considered her main character when I first conjured her up. Waaaayyy back in like, 2018(?), Tsuki was the bitchy twin sister of my primary danganronpa oc, Junko (who I think was just "Jun" at the time? side tangent sorry. also a lot of my ocs started out as dr ocs, i just realized). They had a horrible relationship and Tsuki was all high and mighty about being the favorite child and neither of them were happy about the fact that they were related. But that's long in the past because nowadays in this story they have a very good relationship and are Besties!!! or they were before Junko died tragically a little before the events of the plot began. Sad.

(^ girl who haunts the narrative) (also just realized i don't have any drawings of them actually together??? wack) (also also a detail that I want to people to notice is that they each have one half of one of those bff heart necklaces that you can put together. i thought it would be cute)

Anyway. With regards to Sonata, her space-theming really only extends to night-sky theming. She's all stars and moons and glittery sparkles. The girl literally glows in the dark. i like to imagine she has special effects that go off when she moves. like she'll be magically skating around and she'll leave behind a trail of sparks as she glides around- probably has the ability to just summon a bunch of stardust that she throws in people's eyes like it's attack glitter. This is all kinda funny considering her powers are mainly ice-themed? she's got ice powers, no correlation with her outfit other than the color Blue.

Tsuki is a very cheery and friendly person who, despite having experienced many tragedies in her life (the loss of her identical twin + the earlier death of her parents), always tries to be optimistic. She's very emotionally-intelligent and understanding. She has the typical cartoon friend group of like, her 3 closest friends in the world and nobody else. There's Skye, Donovan, and Chaoxiang. The latter being the childhood best friend bi4bi love interest who is also incredibly integral to the overarching plot that I will not mention here bc it is late and i am Tired.

After gaining her powers, she sees becoming a hero as the next logical step. Like, to her it's sort of an obligation. She has the ability to save people, so she has to save people. She's literally the only person on the planet (which i should mention is Not earth. long story short it exploded humans left in ships for new worlds, one went off course and landed up on [placeholder planet name] and assimilated so well with the local population it was like they had always been there) who can fight against the monsters that have been showing up and wrecking havoc. Also, I want to mention that I'm going with the trope of "regular people become Corrupted by evil object and the hero has to beat it out of them in order to save them" bc it slaps what can I say. Tsuki's out here strangling a demonic dog creature with a whip (which is the weapon she can summon from nothing) and after a bit a shard pops out of its head and it just, poofs back into being a regular dog person.

This is all very disjointed bc I am Tired but I would be glad to answer any more questions!!! Actually talking to someone about this would be a great way to like, come up with a solid plot bc right now it's mostly "would that be cool or what"

How I met you again- A KotLC and PJO crossover

C H A P T E R 2 : Something unexpected

Sophie's POV: 

        I skipped back upstairs to my room, having just gotten breakfast with Edaline's Mallowmelt.

        Well, more like tried to: I had tripped on my own feet at the third step. 

Oh, come on! Why does skipping, or anything in that matter, have to be so hasardous? Or was it just me being clumsy as usual?

        It hadn't been too bad of a fall, so I had gotten up and headed up to my room, albeit less energetic that the first attempt. But as I got to my bedroom door, the excitement came back at full force.

I was going on my first date with the one and only Keefe Sencen!

        When I had asked Edaline if I could go out with Keefe, she had told me to 'come back by 11:00 P.M, or else...' in a stern voice. Though that goofy grin on her face made her little bit less credible.

        I felt a goofy smile of my own form on my face as I walked over to the door I went to almost everyday. Keefe had just asked me to go to the beach with him.

        I entered my bedroom, humming my favorite song from the Forbidden Cities and dancing my own choreography to go along with it.

        I got changed into a comfortable tunic and brushed the usual Gulon's nest that was my long blonde hair. Bracing myself for the impact of my reflection, I stepped in front of my Spectral Mirror, only to immediately get teased by Vertina.

“Oh my gosh, does your hair actually not look like a banshee slept in it right now? Oh, I feel faint!" the little girl who had just appeared on the side of the mirror exclaimed in shock.

        I rolled my unusual brown eyes.

“And oh my gosh, can’t a girl have a good hair day for once?” I asked in the same tone. 

        Vertina seemed to think for a few seconds.

“Well you aren’t necessarily a normal girl. And besides, you usually look all disheveled and half awake as if you're a zombie most of the time, so...”  she answered matter-of-factly, trailing off.

“Well, you just ruined my amazing mood.” I said frowning at her.

        She rolled her eyes.

“Which is what you do to me every time you walk in front of me,” she replied.

        I just shrugged and walked out of her vision, much to her disagreement.

"Hey, you can't just walk away like that, you're just impolite-" she suddenly disappeared from the mirror.

        I flopped dramatically into my bed with my arms spread on my sides.

        I wasn't going to get ready right now, it was way too early. But I was too excited to just wait while doing nothing. What could I do that wouldn't make me die of boredom before meeting Keefe?

* * *

        After a huge debate in my head on what to do, I decided on projecting my memories. 

        Getting up from my bed, I went to the wrinkled pink backpack next to my desk that contained all my old things. It was where I kept my favorite Human objects, but also where I kept my memory book.

(A/N: Yes, in this fanfic, she took some of her most important human belongings in a cute pink backpack. ) 

        I slipped my hand into the backpack, looking for the small Agenda-like book.

        I felt a triangular object, which felt like it. I pulled it out, though it wasn't my Memory-Log. It was a gray average-sized box with tints of brown imprinted on it with the words 'BFFs 4 ever!' written in a lopsided scrawl.

        I furrowed my eyebrows. The writing seemed familiar.

        I traced my fingers on the box before deciding to open it.

        I parted the two ends of the container to glimpse a beautiful half of a friendship necklace.

        It was made of a golden chain and a half heart shaped pendant. The pendant was itself gray.

        My eyes widened in shock. I couldn't believe I had found it.

        Could this really be the Friendship necklace Annabeth had given me for my seventh birthday?

37 Thoughts

Tl;dr it’s Christmas scented filler. Next time is New Years centered filler. That’s it.

It's the Christmas episode, but the most interesting part is what comes before it. We drew the lots for who's going against who in the Diamond Friends cup. My original prediction of LMT vs HC an PP vs RM turned out to be wrong. It's going to be the Star Harmony groups going head to head on Day 1, then we look to Space Cadets vs the Diamond Friends.

We already know how it's probably going to end - Pure Palette vs Love Me Tear. The ED hinted at it, all the show has pretty much told us that Pure Palette is going to be the successors to Love Me Tear. Whether it's this season or next, it's going to happen.

Frankly, I don't care. There's no surprise really left in this season. I've already predicted how it's going to end. Either Pure Palette wins and Season 2 is going to be about how they handle being Diamond Friends, or Love Me Tear does and we have a repeat of Pure Palette's season 1. That's really it. Since Yume's goal was met at the end of Season 1, I don't know if they're going to do it again. We'll see.

There was a hint of Coco coming out next episode. It was about as subtle as a brick to the face.

Anyway, Christmas time. We're having a party and Aine is looking for Mio's present. The older siblings have significant others, the younger ones are excited over Santa. No big deal here.

Present time - HC picked what they thought would look good on each other. I like what Ema got more, partially because I also got a necklace for Christmas from one of my best friends. Actually I'm wearing it now as I type. Blue goldstone is still better in my mind than a kitty cat but hey whatevs. RM got some good gifts, but we're waiting for PP.

Aine makes it in the nick of time, aided by her Friends. Thank goodness for her Friends helping her. /sarcasm. Mio wrote the OP and I can't say I'm surprised.

The stage was boring. Someone said it better - the kira kira glitter hides up nothing has changed from the rules. Funny enough, the set up is the same as AiStars in terms of types and who is in what position.  Wanna see for proof? 

The song parts are the same too. I compared. It’s by type - so the pop gets this line, the cool gets that. Basically you get the gist.  They both differ from Aikatsu in choreo because that's a runway and this is a dance.  Also position, as seen here.

That's the only difference. I hated it then, I hate it now. Nothing new to report here except we finally get Ema and Maika's link coords. Whoo-hoo, I wanted those. In exchange though, we don't get an appeal. Boo. Also Aine is the worst voice of the four. Someone else pointed out how poor their higher range is in general, but she's definitely the standout in a bad way. Can we let them sing down the range a bit? Please? It's painful and it makes me feel bad for BEST FRIENDS, especially Akane. 

Nothing to comment on LMT except they both look better with loose hair. Their ribbon thing is cute as hell - watch Mio and Aine do something similar by the end of the season.

Next episode - we have the BEST FRIENDS version of the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Contest). I'd rather watch Aqours instead. They're at Kohaku this year.

In all... it's filler. The only important thing was drawing the lots for Diamond Friends, and that wasn't even the highlight of the episode. It's going to be filler until the tournament at the end of the season. Not quite Naruto filler length, but it's still filler and I'm bored.

Strap in, kids. We're gonna be bored until the tournament starts. Then there's Valentine's Day and oh does someone have a boyfriend drama? And then the end just before Ema graduates from middle school. Then we get season 2 I guess and it starts all over. I just predicted AiFriends.

Tl;dr I'm fucking bored. Everything of this was boring filler happy fucking Christmas. Wake me up when something interesting happens.

Also tl;dr AiFriends wouldn't know prima voce if it bit them in the ass.

[honeycombstrawberry]

since adrian is obsessed with friendship and the whole bff thing i was thinking what if his partner picks up one of those cute bff necklaces that are very obviously meant for children? they like “hey, you wanna wear bff necklaces?” i can imagine him lighting up and they’re CONSTANTLY wearing them. he even wears it under his vig stuff. how would the 11th street kids react as well? also would it be possible to get little situations involving the necklace? i need to get this out of my head but i’m picturing them grabbing his and pulling him down to kiss him. obvi you don’t have to do any of this i just thought it was cute 😭

best friends forever

pairing: adrian chase x reader (gn pronouns)

rating: gen+

word count: 2,228

one-sentence synopsis: you're not expecting adrian to have this strong of a reaction to a simple gift, but the response he ends up having is nothing short of life-changing.

author's note: i wrote and uploaded this entirely on my phone before breakfast on this lovely saturday morning so please excuse any madnesses

read on ao3!

You didn't think it was going to be a thing.

You at least thought it would be a thing— that Adrian would think you're thoughtful, and he'd wear it a couple of times because he's loving and silly, but he'd ultimately end up forgetting about it. You'd just seen the matching BFF necklaces up near the counter when checking out with your groceries, and you'd thought, I bet Adrian would like that, and so you'd gotten them.

The matching necklaces sparkle with rainbow glitter, each of the necklace half of a heart that says BFF through the center. Though the word is visible in its entirety when you put the halves together, it's easy enough to guess what they are when separated. They're not the prettiest; they're gaudy, and cheap, and tiny, and you didn't really expect it to be a Thing, but—

—But when you get home and say, "Hey, Adrian, I got you a present!" and he came bounding out to find the two necklaces in your hands, he'd frozen completely, which was— unexpected, to say the least.

It's an entirely unanticipated response, and you stop now, too, confused.

"You got me a present?" he asks, with a strange inflection, like you'd somehow mean the other Adrian sharing this apartment with you.

"Yeah," you tell him. You tear the tag holding the necklaces together, then turn the charms so he can see the heart they form together, BFF sparkling inside. "See? They're BFF necklaces. One of the best friends wears one half, and the other wears the other."

You offer him one of the halves, the chain dangling from your fingers. He takes it like it's going to detonate somehow, his eyes all wide and focused down on it, his face pink. You're impossibly endeared by his reaction.

"You're my best friend?" Adrian asks, holding his half of the heart in the center of his palm.

"I mean, I was hoping so," you tell him. "Unless you want to give the other half to Ch—"

"No!" he hurries to say. "No, I don't— I want—" His fingers curl up tight around the necklace. "No, I— Thank you."

He's not often at a loss for words, so you take it as a good sign that he liked his gift. It might be a little silly, and his reaction a little strange, but he does seem excited about it overall. He holds it out delightedly, asks, "Will you put it on for me?"

You grin and say, "Yeah, of course." He spins, and you reach to bring the necklace around his throat, clasping it together against the back knob of his spine. You adjust the necklace; he tugs it forward so he can look at it, held securely in his palm, locked around his neck, pressed over his heart.

He examines it for a beat longer, face pink, before he looks up and says, "Let me help you put yours on! Since we're best friends."

You laugh, and he smiles, but he does seem like he actually means it, that he's not joking. You hand him the necklace, and he turns you, bringing it up so he can fix yours on your own neck. When the charm settles in place over your sternum, you place your hand over it for a moment.

"You sure we can be best friends?" Adrian asks. It's like he's pushing you, testing your cracks, seeing if there's any way you might not mean this. You wonder how many times Adrian has thought he had a best friend that he didn't have before, his strong emotions unreciprocated by people who don't understand him.

You do, though. You tell him, "Of course we can."

"Even though we're together?" Adrian asks hopefully, skeptic.

"I think that's even part of it," you tell him. "We wouldn't want to be together if we didn't get along, right?"

Adrian considers this, then asks, "So… You're my partner, and my best friend?"

"Yeah," you tell him, a thrill running through you. "If that's okay."

"Okay?" Adrian repeats incredulously. "I— Fucking yeah! Oh, my God, fuck yeah, you're, like, the coolest friend I've ever had."

"Poor Chris," you say, teasing.

Adrian looks surprised for a moment before he tells you in a rush, "You cannot tell Chris, okay? He thinks we're best friends and I don't want to bum him out."

"You could always get him a necklace, too," you point out. Adrian seems downright offended by that. "What? I just meant, if you wanted—"

"No, this is our thing," Adrian insists. He steps in close to you, lifting your necklace charm and his between his fingers so they pull together into one heart. "BFFs, see? It says right here." He examines the heart, then says, "Chris would think this is dumb, anyway."

You frown slightly. "Oh. I—"

"Not that this is dumb!" Adrian hurries to say. "Oh, no, I mean— Chris thinks lots of really awesome stuff is dumb because he's afraid of what people might think about him, you know. But I don't think this is dumb, I'm just saying Chris doesn't appreciate it! Wouldn't, he wouldn't, but— But I do, I really do, I— I didn't mean it, please, please don't take it back."

"What?" you ask, bewildered. "I'm not going to take it back, babe, it's a gift. It's yours now." You smile, adding, "And don't worry about it, you dingbat. I know what you mean."

Adrian flushes all over, at that. When he ducks in to kiss you, his necklace clacks into yours, and he grins so wide he can't even manage to kiss you properly.

From then on, the necklace isn't just a Thing, but A Thing. Adrian never takes it off, ever. He has it on with his work uniform, pulled proudly forward to rest over the top, uncaring of who sees and what they think. He has it on with his street clothes, gaudy rainbow glitter sparkling against warm sweaters and soft t-shirts. He has it on under his Vigilante armor, pressed tightly to the hollow beneath his throat, a protective talisman. He has it on when he has nothing else on at all, his necklace swinging down between you when he fucks you into the mattress.

He always has it on, always. Every time you see it, you can't help the little zip that goes through you, a smiling thrill when you remember you have the matching half. He's wearing it because of how much he cares about you; he never stops wearing it because he never wants to stop being your best friend. Neither of you can stomach the thought of losing the other, not even as friends. Adrian is a man who cares so deeply about his relationships with others, who gives so openly and freely, that you're not surprised by how obviously delighted he is by your expression of friendship and love. In fact, you probably should've expected this, but Adrian really is a wild card.

It takes a little while for the rest of the 11th Street Kids to realize he has it at all. He's got his clothes on more often than not, and the necklace tends to slip beneath his clothes just by virtue of its placement. On the few occasions the chain will break, Adrian gets pissed off until he finds a replacement, twitchy and agitated without his necklace, but nobody seems to put the pieces together as to why.

When one of them does finally notice, you're not surprised that it's John who says something. You'd partially expected Emilia, since you think she noticed a while ago, but she has slightly more tact— or she just didn't see any purpose in bringing it up.

"What's with the stupid necklace, man?" John finally asks. "It looks like something a 13-year-old girl would wear."

"People are always so shitty about 13-year-old girls," Adrian says, continuing to clean his knife without pausing or lifting his head. "But if they're open enough about their feelings to wear best friend necklaces, then, fuck yeah, this is something a 13-year-old girl would wear, you dick."

You snort a laugh, then look down quickly when John glares in your direction.

"I actually agree with him on this one," Leota says from the front seat.

"Thanks," Adrian says, resheathing his blade. "You're my fourth best friend now, Adebayo."

"Where's your brother on that list?" Chris asks, and Adrian whistles, dropping his hand all the way to the floor of the van.

"Ninth circle of Hell," he says. He snaps out another knife and starts cleaning blood off of this one, too. "Down in the pit with Sloth."

That starts a new thread, the topic of conversation shifting away from Adrian's necklace. When you look up, though, you see Emilia already looking at you, her eyes unexpectedly connecting with yours.

She motions to her own throat, and your hand lifts automatically to yours, your hand going up over your own charm under your clothes. A smile flickers across the corners of her lips before she returns her attention to cleaning her gun. She doesn't say anything, but she's— knowing.

Adrian never takes his necklace off, so you don't, either. It's a constant reminder of him, of the two of you. You like to feel it and remember your connection with him. When you're together, when you're apart, it doesn't matter; you're stupid in love with him. You're happy to have him close to your heart, even when he's not.

When you're captured on a mission and everything is removed from you, you don't think you'll ever see the necklace again. Adrian is the one who saves you, and, at first, he's only focused on getting you out of there. When he sees you don't have the necklace anymore, though, he tears apart the facility you're being kept in until he finds it and can lock it around your throat again.

When Adrian is injured and he gets his armor torn off of him by a doctor, examining the wounds underneath, Adrian slaps away their hands from his necklace. He groggily tells them, "That's mine," and gets more and more upset until you step in and take the necklace yourself, promising you'd wear it with your own and give it back when it was allowed again. It was only then that he'd settled down enough to be treated, you waiting by his side the entire time, clutching your necklace with his.

When you're out with the rest of the 11th Street Kids and Chris finally notices that you have the matching half of Adrian's necklace, he's— You hesitate to say flustered, but he so obviously is. He ends up stepping aside, saying to Adrian, "But I thought I was your best friend," to which Adrian replies, "You've got Eagly, dude. Let me have this." You laugh, and Adrian bounds back to your side, winding your hands together again.

When you're both taken prisoner, and your captors realize you have matching necklaces, you wonder if this is going to be it. They can tell there's an obvious link between the two of you, even without the way Adrian loses his fucking mind any time they threaten you instead of him. They tear the necklaces off of both of your necks, toss them into the corner, and Adrian screams himself hoarse telling them all the things he's going to do to them. When he eventually rips free of his bindings while they're torturing you, he makes good on his promises before returning your necklace to you and his to himself, carrying you out of there without hesitation.

When you wake up one day and realize your necklace isn't on, you immediately start to panic. You fumble in the sheets, desperate to find it, but it's nowhere to be found. You're halfway through tearing apart your nightstand when Adrian finally comes in and asks, "What the fuck are you doing?" and you have to tearfully admit that you lost your necklace, but you swear you went to bed with it on—

Which is when Adrian sheepishly pulls the necklace from his own pocket and says, "Sorry, I just needed it for a minute," before turning it back over to you. Your brow is furrowed, bewildered by what he might have needed, but that confusion evaporates completely when you actually look down at it and realize he's strung a ring through it, too. Your heart races, fingers closing around the charm and the ring together as your eyes snap up to meet Adrian's. His face is all pink, but he's grinning wide enough that you start to smile instinctively in return.

When you reach out and pull him in by his necklace, Adrian goes easily, stepping right into your space and allowing you to reel him down. You use the leverage of your grip on his necklace charm to tug him in for a deep kiss. He reaches out blindly, takes the necklace from your hand.

When you separate, he asks, "Best friends forever?" in such a hopeful tone, his face all lit up, that you can't help nodding right away.

When you say, "Yeah," and let him clasp the necklace on you again, "Best friends forever," he pulls you back in again, your necklace clacking against his between your chests to form the full heart once again.

I have a request for Mick's series 👉👈🥺

These past weeks we have been bombarded with pics of the drivers holding babies and kids. I've read mini Norris and stuff.

Could you write something about Mick dealing with kids and bff's reaction 😉💙

Part 15. Best friends to Lovers MASTERLIST.

Notes: This is a petition for KMag and Haas to put Laura and Mick together in a room.

You had stayed at the hotel for a couple of more hours than Mick. He had to go early to the circuit because he had a meeting.

When you arrived, everyone welcomed you nicely, pretty used to having you around.

"Gary? Have you seen Mick?" You asked the engineer.

"It's on the back with Kevin and some more people"

"Okay, thank you!"

You went to the back of the hospitality, seen a group of people sitting around a table.

"Hey, your lady arrived" Kevin said.

When Mick turned around, you gasped. Baby Laura Magnussen was sitting on his lap happily playing with the necklace he was wearing. You smiled and felt your cheeks blushing.

"Hey, YN!"

"Hi!" You said to the people around the table.

"Say hi to YN, Laura" Mick said grabbing her tiny hand and helping her saying hello.

"Hi Laura" You tickled the kid's belly and she smiled.

"She wants to steal your boyfriend" Louise (Kevin's wife) said with a smile.

Mick blushed and you kissed his cheek.

"Does she?"

"She is so smitten"

Laura lift her hands and grabbed Mick's cheeks. He made a funny face and the kid laughed.

"I understand her, I get like that when I see a pretty boy too" You said it knowing exactly what you were doing to Mick.

Kevin and Louise laughed at your boyfriend's reaction, and Laura seeing all of you laughing, chuckled too.

"It's good to know that we have a sitter for the weekend" Kevin joked.

The weekend went good and Laura was Mick shadow the whole time. It was so cute and funny to see the little kid following Mick everywhere he went.

Mick was the sweetest with her, speaking with a soft voice and making her laugh. He also let her get in his car, making Kevin a bit jealous.

"You are cute with kids." I said coming closer to him and Laura. He was leaning over the halo and the kid was looking all around the seat.

He was blushing.

"Don't be embarrassed, Mickey. It's not bad" You pinched his cheek.

Laura lift her arms and made grabby hands at him.

"Oh she loves you"

"She is really nice"

You chuckled a bit.

Mick got her in his arms and she smiled.

"We should invite them over sometimes. I love seeing you with her"

"We should yes."

"Laura! It's time to have dinner!" Her mum said. You saw Mick's eyes lightning up and you smiled. "I think you should feed her Mick, she won't even look at me."

I laughed with her.

"Can I?"

Oh shit. He was the cutest.

"Yeah, Mick"

To see Mick feeding Laura almos knock you out. You took a million photos and sent them to Gina and Corinna.

"Oops. Be careful, Laura." He said when the kid accidentally dropped some food. He instantly cleaned it.

Your face hurt from smiling so much. He was a natural.

Louise and Kevin had notice your happiness.

"You should have mini Schumachers..."Kevin said.

Mick's head shot up looking at you.

"It's too soon, Kevin. I'm still in uni. But look at him. He would be such a good dad" You said making Mick blush once again.

He would roll his eyes laughing.

Baby Laura even fell asleep on Mick's arms during the team's dinner.

"Do you think I will be a good dad?" He asked softly trying to not wake up the blondie in his arms.

"I think you will be a wonderful dad, Mickey" You kisses his cheek and he looked at you. You kissed then his lips and smiled. "You have my ovaries jumping up and down"

"Shit, YN..." He said laughing.

The kid woke up startled, but he rocked her gently and she got comfortable soon.

"You are such a natural, babe"

[w0rm-mag1c]

For the requests, what about give them / or receiver from them little gifts as accessories (keychains, jewelry) or like clothes so they could always be close to their s/o (or bff for cute platonically content), either matching stuff or something that make them think about/rememberance each other? Maybe also where, why or when did they got those gifts? If it's possible for all the characters, if it's not, then whoever you feel like written or even drawing.

Also you're free to ignore this. Thank you in advance anyway and have a good day. ~

ahhh sorry this took so long! this was a cute request and i wanted to do it justice!

Giving the Demon Brothers A Matching Gift

LUCIFER

He seems like he’s very hard to buy gifts for, so you spend a week or two trying to discreetly ask what he likes. That, or you wait until he shows an interest in something.

You finally decide on matching lockets. It’s sentimental and classic, which is just Lucifer’s style.

“MC, these are beautiful,” he says, turning his pendant over in his hand. It’s silver with a blue stone set into the front.

You spend a while going through pictures to put in it.

When he’s not actively wearing the necklace, it’s placed neatly on his desk.

MAMMON

Of course you want to match with the Great Mammon! He’s quite popular due to his modeling career…

You take him out shopping and while he does want just about everything, you finally land on some keychains!

You already have matching keychains but you both decide to start collecting them!

After a while Mammon starts to associate the pleasant clinking sound with you.

LEVIATHAN

He thinks he’s sneaky about wanting things but if he sees someone else with the thing he desires, you can see the envy all over his face. His eyes narrow and he looks a little flushed.

You saw him eyeing a charm bracelet on Akuzon. The seller lets you pick three charms of your choice…all anime themed of course.

During one of his binge watches, you place the order and make sure to be there when it arrives.

“Ahhhhh…Thank you, MC! I-I don’t deserve all this!” (He totally does!)

SATAN

The best gift to give him, in my opinion, is your time. He loves to sit around and be in your presence…

But if you want to give him a physical gift, he’s not picky at all.

Hear me out: stationery. The aesthetic of hand-writing a love letter is right up Satan’s alley.

Bonus points if it’s cat themed.

So you give him a cute little set of pens and notepads…He’s a blushing mess, but says a polite “thank you” before smiling like a dork.

Expect to find letters EVERYWHERE. Your bed, backpack, bathroom…if he can think of it, it’s a good place for a love letter.

ASMODEUS

Skincare and makeup stuff…either you don’t understand it or you know he already has it.

What does Asmo really like, other than self care and you?

Himself.

You saw a cute little compact mirror and thought it would come off as rude, but this one was special.

It was part of a matching set. They had a spell on them that allowed them to show what the other was seeing.

Asmo was squealing in delight. “Now you can see me whenever you want! These are perfect, hon.”

Every now and then while he’s out on a modeling job, he’ll pretend to check his makeup and blow you a kiss.

BEELZEBUB

His favorite things you’ve given him have been edible, but one day you find these little burger plushies in a crane game.

After spending a ton of Grimm and nearly rage-quitting, you finally get two of them. They’re similar to Squishmallows, and you hope Beel doesn’t eat them…

“MC! These are really cute…”

He sleeps with his every night and so far, hasn’t tried to bite it. (You found out that you could have ordered them of Akuzon…so you have backups)

BELPHEGOR

MATCHING. PAJAMAS. Is there any other choice?

They’re cow themed…

He tries to act apathetic but he’s already picturing you in a sleep shirt and shorts.

When the two of you have attic sleepovers, he’s always waiting for you in his little PJs, ready to cuddle.

“These are really soft. You picked good ones.”

Midoriya & Shinsou & Jirou bandmates tddk AU

I probably won't write a full story but these were my ideas!

Midoriya and Shinsou met at the hero entrance exam, where they both failed. They both got hurt and Midoriya started talking while they were waiting their turn to see Recovery Girl, asking Shinsou about what he plans to do. Of course he's going to gen ed and plans on transferring to the hero course. Midoriya says he's going to try for support and is giving up on the hero course; he realized last year that he never stood a chance anyway. He really just took the exam so he wouldn't dwell on what ifs and maybes. He doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. Making support gear for heroes would be nice but he's not confident in his abilities. He veeery shyly admits that he sings and plays guitar and would love to start a band and make a career out of that but he's sure no one would want to be in a band with a quirkless loser. But using what he learns in support to make special effects for concerts and music videos would be really neat!

Shinsou knows how to play the drums and is a little curious. He knows he'll need support gear to be a hero so making a friend in the support course could be useful. He suggests they get together sometime and play something. He doesn't actually think he'll be friends with Midoriya—the plan is more to make a connection and use him to help himself—but Midoriya ends up being the best friend he's ever had. They become ride or die pretty fast.

After the first couple of weeks of school (so after USJ) there's an event for clubs to recruit members. Aizawa tells his class they can join but they have to be mindful. The hero course is rigorous, so committing to a club that requires a lot of time would be irresponsible. Jirou has no intentions of joining any clubs but the entire class checks out the event, just to snoop. Midoriya and Shinsou have a table but no one seems interested. They're freaking bc you need a minimum of four members to count as a club and get a club room and NO ONE is interested.

Jirou has no plans to join but is curious to hear them play. They aren't allowed to play at the event but they knew this beforehand so they shot a video of them playing. It's nothing fancy—Midoriya just hands her his phone—but Jirou hears them and is blown away. They're good and Midoriya's voice is amazing. Right now I wanna say the song they're playing is Favorite Liar from The Wrecks.

She doesn't commit but agrees to come see one practice. She probably won't join though. She'll bring her bass, bc they don't have a bassist, but she definitely isn't going to join.

One song together and she joins.

They need a fourth person though and the deadline is looming! Jirou ends up asking the rest of 1A if anyone can play an instrument or sing. Bakugou plays drums but he isn't about to do her any favors. But Yaoyorozu plays piano! Jirou begs her to join—she doesn't even have to come to practice. She can just be in the band in name and play a little keyboard at a few club events so the teachers don't realize she doesn't actually participate.

What Jirou doesn't know is Yaoyorozu has a crush on her. So yes she'll join and yes, she will come to practice, actually. Maybe. Probably. She's very nervous bc Jirou is talented and cool and pretty and maybe this was a bad idea after all, oh no.

She agrees to come see them practice and brings her bff Todoroki with her for emotional support. He agrees mostly bc being with the Yaoyorozu's daughter is always an acceptable excuse for not going home.

They go to a practice just to watch and Todoroki feels just a little awkward bc no one told him the lead singer of Jirou's band was the cutest guy Todoroki has or ever will see in his life. The band plays and Todoroki and Yaoyorozu are both in love. Yaoyorozu joins the band immediately. Todoroki doesn't but maybe he could come by just to hang out sometimes? Maybe he can just help out? He can lift heavy equipment. So can Shinsou and Yaoyorozu? Well, he can help with other stuff! Anything! Costumes! Makeup! Anything to support his bff Momo, who is definitely why he's here, not bc of the cute boy, no siree.

As the story progresses, Todoroki is having makeup and nail polish application sessions with Fuyumi. He's watching YouTube makeup tutorials. Midoriya doesn't need to know he spent an hour every day for two weeks practicing eyeliner wings. Whenever they get a chance to play for a crowd or they make a video Todoroki gets to do Midoriya's makeup and help him with his clothes (and also the rest of the band but who cares about them?). It's the most wonderful torture. How is he supposed to check how Midoriya's makeup looks without getting lost in his eyes?

Little does he know, Midoriya is having constant internal meltdowns because the hottest guy he's ever met is touching is face. Whenever he wears a choker or necklace Todoroki gets the clasp for him (he doesn't realize everyone else has to do their own clasps). His fingers touch the back of his neck and it takes every once of his willpower not to run away because it seems so intimate and if he isn't careful he'll start hoping bc Todoroki is so nice to him and sometimes it seems like he gives him special attention but that's probably just his imagination, but maybe...? No! Or...aaahhh, he can't handle it!

At some point Ashido wants to see what Jirou, Yaoyorozu, and Todoroki are up to so she stops by. She's super impressed but Midoriya is too stiff! She doesn't officially join but she starts stopping by when she can to teach Midoriya some dance moves and help him with his stage presence and sex appeal. In exchange Midoriya tutors her bc he's basically a genius and she's bad at pretty much all her non-hero classes, like Math and English. Kaminari starts getting curious about what Ashido is doing so he stops by one day and hoo boy is that drummer so super cool! He starts talking to Shinsou and sparks fly (Sparks? Kaminari?? Get it?? Lolol, wow, I am so funny!) Kaminari helps with lighting for videos and shows and also gets tutoring in return (and now Shinsou is also joining these study sessions because...reasons. Certainly not the cute blond guy. He just likes studying...)

Ashido and Kaminari's grades improve! Yay!

And that's all I got. I have no clue how anyone would actually get together, which is why I'll probably never write a proper fic.

As far as the band's genre, they're really all over the place because they want to experiment a lot. So you got some alt rock, grunge, pop, love ballads, power ballads...they definitely do at least one video that is a super upbeat love song with bright 80s clothing and one video where they're all dressed like punks.

So yeah! That's what I got! Midoriya's guitar is probably either red or the same bluish-green his hero costume would have been, in another life. I feel like for the first half his hair is cute and poofy and maybe halfway through the story he gets an undercut. Sometimes he pushes his bangs up with a clip or a band.

[squeakygeeky]

At this point I basically have a dare going with myself over the weirdest Vietnamese web content I’m willing to watch. It may be hard to top The Time Adventure of To An. With Tien Bromance I felt like there was an artistic vision, as wild as it was. Here...based on the timing they must have gotten hit by covid, so I can’t really blame them for the fact that the series just ends without reaching an actual conclusion, but I’m also not very confident that they had any more idea where they were actually going with this thing than I did.

Look, I’m impressed Vietnam even tried whatever they were trying here in the first place. This is the only Vietnamese BL I’ve seen so far with historical and fantasy elements. I also need to give them props for inviting every color of the rainbow to this strange, strange party. 

Like if this were Chinese the gayest thing would have been all the flute playing, but far from it (although don’t expect a real kiss for either potential BL couple). But...the lack of an actual ending is far from the only issue. 

Overall I would say this series was like if Jason Mendoza from the Good Place feel asleep during an episode of Word of Honor, and Michael tried to turn his dream into a scenario to torture everyone, but Jason was actually having a great time until Eleanor realized they were in the bad place and it all got shut down. 

I’ll be kind to your dash and stick the actual recap under a cut. This is NOT a linguistic analysis.

We start back in the past with To An, the son of an important official who is in love with his best friend Doan, but in denial. (Doan is played by my darling Trương Minh Thảo). His friend’s other bff is a princess (or something fancy idk) and Doan gets engaged to her, but it’s basically fake. To An steals Doan’s girl without examining his motivations for doing so. They get married but on their wedding night he gets zapped into the future by a magical necklace because of reasons (no, I could not keep track of what those reasons were). Everyone is encased in very cheap polyester, but I can’t fault them for that, they clearly did the best they could.

Anyway, in the present day, To An gets found and taken in by Henry (also Trương Minh Thảo), who seems to accept that he’s a time traveler pretty quickly. To An obviously mistakes Henry for Doan but seems to accept he’s someone else pretty quickly. To An joins Henry’s dance troupe and almost immediately gets promoted to assistant director. I’m not sure it’s ever explained what about To An’s past life qualified him for this position but apparently he’s amazing at dancing, singing, choreography, and set design. 

Much of the series is taken up the the plot of the dance troupe being in debt to gangsters and needing to pull off a successful show to be saved. At one point To An fights the gangsters with his fan-based martial arts.

Poor Henry just kind of pines after To An (don’t ask me what he sees in him, there’s no chemistry here, although Trương Minh Thảo is doing his best and could probably emote convincingly at a brick wall). 

To anyone who asks he explains To An’s behavior as him being a historical actor who recently got in an accident and everyone is like, ‘sorry about your new boyfriend’s brain damage, good thing he has amazing dance skills, we’re so happy for you.’ To An seems too focused on his artistic vision for the dance troupe to notice any of this. 

At least there’s some rooftop flute-touching action.

At some point To An gets kidnapped by two drag queens and the guy who has a crush on Henry. 

He is saved by some sort of time agent lady? I’m not sure who she was or what she had to do with anything. 

The director of the dance troupe looks the same as To An’s wife, and he goes on a date with her. I’m confused, given he comes to the conclusion they’re not the same person and that he can’t be with her since he’s already married. It’s also disappointing that the cute date goes to a het pairing. 

Later she kisses him and this immediately yeets him back to the past because she had the magic necklace because of...reasons??

Back in the past To An is with his wife but she confesses that she knew all along To An really loved Doan, so she has poisoned and hidden Doan to take revenge for To An playing with her feelings. To An runs off to save Doan, finally realizing his true feelings. Meanwhile in the present, poor Henry is just running around calling for To An and being sad and confused. To An gets captured by the villain (one of the villains?.

We stop about there. There are a few extras, which show that Doan only got fake poisoned (the princess was his close childhood friend who he was only ever perfectly nice to, so it was pretty rude of her to even fake poison him), so he’ll be ok. To An doesn’t seem to find him though, and somehow he gets transported back to Henry, and may have died. IDK. The translator just subbed the song lyrics, not any actual dialog.

I really have no idea where any of this was supposed to be going. It’s not like To An can end up with both Doan and Henry. I mean, technically he could, but overall he just really seemed to care about dancing so your guess is as good as mine.

PS: This series was sponsored by Murad.

the road not taken looks real good now

i got the chance to write this fun little buffy/willow piece set in s4 as a part of @buffyfemslash’s secret santa exchange this year, with the request of mistletoe :^)

Read on Ao3

“Hey, what’s all the tinsel for?”

“Oh. Hey. Just setting up some decorations. You like?”

“Mistletoe? Who are you trying to use that on, Wills?” Buffy laughs, “And I thought that was just a Christmas thing.”

Willow’s eyes widen, and she hopes she’s not blushing. Right. There is some mistletoe hung among the string lights and decorations on their ceiling. “Oh, it is, but it’s also supposed to protect you from demons. And we can always use more of that, right?” She wasn’t even thinking of the… other part .

“ Right — but you didn’t answer my question,” Buffy smiles, knowingly, keeping her gaze turned towards Willow as she sits down on her bed, setting her backpack on the floor.

“No one!” Willow insists, quickly shifting topics and hoping it’ll distract her enough to not push it further. “And look, I got you a little tree for your desk, too. With tiny lights!” It’s darn cute too; tiny little ornaments, and a glittery star on the top that lights up when you press a button—

“How… multicultural of you,” she giggles, covering her face, “Geez, the more time I spend with Giles, the more I’m starting to sound like him.”

“Eh,” she shrugs, “there are worse things.”

“Hey,” Buffy says, calling her attention as she glances back at the door. “What’s the Hanukkah equivalent of mistletoe?”

She racks her brain, and ends up rambling— “I don’t think there is one? I guess you could kiss someone over the menorah, but… you’d probably just end up lighting your hair on fire.” —as usual. “ Blah, anyways… I have a present for you!”

“Oh, Will, you didn’t have to get me anyth—”

“I know you got me something too, so quit it.” Willow laughs as Buffy crosses her arms, pouting. She reaches under her pillow, and tosses the gift to her.

Of course, Buffy catches it easily, without even trying to. When she does look down, her eyes widen — she looks up at Willow, back down, up again — “Is this… you be—”

She’s trying her darndest not to laugh, fully maintaining that this is a Totally Serious Gift. “I bedazzled a stake,” she nods. Buffy stares at her. “It’s fashionable, but it’s also totally functional — it’s reflective, for safety , and… oh geez , I can’t help it!” She bursts into laughter, “This isn’t your real gift. I got you something real, I promise!”

“You know… the grip on this is actually pretty good,” Buffy laughs, tossing it between her hands. “I don’t know if anything else is gonna measure up.”

She reaches under her pillow for the other gift, wrapped to perfection in the silly wrapping paper she bought at the dollar store, covered with cartoon snowmen and reindeer, and hands it to Buffy. Still laughing, she looks down at the box; tears the paper down the center where it’s taped together, and her face turns solemn, but still maintaining a small smile. “You didn’t have to get me two gifts. Honestly… I like the stake .”

She shrugs, “I wanted to. You’re my friend, a-and the holidays are about showing the people you care about that you… care about them.”

Buffy opens the box — Willow watches her face carefully — biting her lip, “Wills, really, you shouldn’t have.”

This time, she does blush. “I figured, y’know, we met in high school, so we never got to do that tacky BFF necklace thing — those ones that would turn your skin green and stuff — and this is like… the grown up version of that. Plus, there’s little cross charms on ‘em, so they’re functional too!”

She smiles, and gets up, standing in front of the mirror, fiddling with the clasp behind her head. “Help me with this?”

Willow does, and Buffy doesn’t hesitate in spinning her around, and fastening the other necklace around Willow’s neck.

They both look in the mirror. “Okay. Now my gift is super lame.”

“I’m sure it isn’t,” Willow giggles, seeing in their reflection how Buffy crosses her arms like a kid, hunching over.

“It’s hot cocoa and marshmallows with a mug with a stupid cat pun on it.”

“Well… what’s the pun?”

“... Whisker Wonderland .”

“I… I love it already.”

She notices the mistletoe above them in the mirror, turning around and looking up — just to make sure, yes, it’s really there, and looks back at Buffy. “Okay… I so didn’t think this through.”

What she really didn’t think through was the idea of Buffy actually kissing her — because it’s over before she can even finish processing the thought in her mind.

“Sorry,” Buffy says, shaking her head, chuckling even as she makes a funny face. “Um. Thanks… again .”

Willow tries to calm her thoughts, running a mile a minute; tries to justify not only what just happened, but also… the butterflies in her stomach. “No, it’s… it’s all in the spirit, right? Tradition, and what-not?”

“Okay, cool.”

“Yep. Totally cool and fine.”

It’s so not totally cool and fine.

“Good.”

The tension dissipates, and Buffy makes her way back across the room, fumbling with her backpack, stacking books up on her desk.

“So… how’s it going with Riley?” The second the question leaves Willow’s mouth, she wants to bang her head against the wall.

But Buffy doesn’t hesitate answering: “He’s… closed off. I don’t know if it’s because I’m all secrets girl or… do you think he’s just… not into me ?”

“Of course not!” She says, a little too eager, adding, “I mean, why wouldn’t he be?”

“I don’t know, what if he likes… smart girls? I never do my homework!”

Willow rolls her eyes, “You are smart.”

“Even if that’s true—and I’m not saying it is—what if—”

“—Why are you so worried about this one guy liking you, Buff?”

“‘Cause then I don’t have to—”

“...What?”

“...I kissed you,” she says, matter-of-fact.

“Uh, y-yeah,” Willow stutters, pulling on the hem of her shirt.

“Did it… does that mean something?”

“Um… do you want it to mean something?”

“... Yeah ?”

“Oh.”

“Do you… not ?” Although it's a rare sight, Willow's pretty sure she recognizes fear on Buffy's face.

“Yes! No! I mean—” Willow sighs, fully resigned to the red heat taking over her face. “Which one’s the kinda-gay answer?” When Buffy doesn’t respond, all doe-eyed and sweet, she adds, “Cause I’ve had the biggest darn crush on you since high school, a-and ever since I realized that, I’ve been pushing it down, because I don’t ever want anything to come between us.”

Buffy takes a deep breath, and smiles. “You wanna go get ice cream?”

“Yeah, I uh… I’d like that.”

[wordsoflittlewisdom]

Watching bop again

I kinda forgot Cass was at the roller derby game. Love how all the characters are connected

Why does Roman’s voice...sound like that

Boss Bitch is weirdly nostalgic now

I like that the whole roller derby team is wearing like. team jackets. and harleys got her whole fringe sleeves thing going on

YES LOVE WHEN SHE THROWS THE NECKLACE AWAY

The chemical plant blowing up as fireworks was a very Harley choice

“So I’ll start where I fucking want” four minutes ago

huntress huntress huntress huntress huntress

I read somewhere that this huntress and Montoya scene was one take and they just changed the lighting to show the change

romans middle name being beauvais is probably the clearest clue they could have given that he was from a rich family

Love that Renee finds the necklace and knows Harley and the joker broke up. I like this idea that superheroes/villains are kinda like celebrities in this world

The egg sandwich scene is great what more can I say

Love that there’re cars and people just living their lives in this city

It’s a crime that we never see Harley wear this glittery fanny pack

The music is really good in this

It’s neat how the line between her narration and her dialogue is blurred, like how she’ll say the first part of something in narration and the second part in dialogue

Huntress’s little flute theme

And Montoya knows Cass; c o n n e c t i o n s

Montoya’s been going after Roman, too

And now we’re flipping back to the bertinelli massacre and diamond

Even if the whole missing diamond plot isn’t that unique, everything’s woven together so neatly

And now Dinah and Renee are on the phone about Cass and the diamond

It’s all connected

Harleys whole “I’m here to report a terrible crime”—she could have just run in there but she wanted to be Dramatic

I do wish the vocals were a little louder here maybe?

Big fan of this fight choreography

Harley pausing on a frame where she’s making a weird face before rewinding to explain about the diamond—it’s so rare to ever get to see women like. making weird faces in movies. All the women in his this are gorgeous but they don’t always have to be; they look beat up after fights and get dirty and make weird faces and it’s great

Dinah singing? Exceptional

“Loans, liquidity, laundering” ah yes the three L’s of illegal business

I unironically listen to Black Canary’s man’s world.

I like that everyone just calls Dinah “Canary”

“I’m all on my lonesome. It’s great” Harleys even an unreliable narrator when she’s just talking

I’ve really never seen a movie that feel like it’s from the female gaze visually as much as this one—all the rings and earrings, the hair, the makeup, it feels like what women might fantasize about dressing like

Dinah yelling “you motherfucker!” While beating some creeps up is quality

What time of day is it? Dinah would probably be leaving early in the morning, but I Refuse to believe that Roman would be awake particularly early any morning

She either canary is leaving her nightclub singing gig in the late morning/early afternoon or roman is still awake from the night before and is going to go to sleep soon

Cass and Dinah in the same building. (Bernie voice): I am once again talking about the connections

I’ve riffed on this before but i refuse to believe that Roman can drive

This Dinah and Renee scene establishes character, backstories, and moves the plot along all at once

Jesus some of ewan mcgregor’s acting in this is painfully bad

I love that Cass has a big bomber jacket and longer, looser shorts

Jurnee’s abs wow

The lights from behind the hands with the eyes behind Harley, who’s surrounded by people and then Roman and Victor emerge from the back, whispering to each other? Beautiful

One of the grievances roman has against Harley is “constantly interrupting him, like I’m doing right now”

Harleys “you’re really not as complicated as you think” bit is almost satirical of this cult we’ve created of “complicated” white male movie villains who have massive fan followings (cough cough joker)

Interesting that Roman holds the knife to Harleys face but hands it off to Victor to do that actual cutting

Someone handed Roman a bowl of popcorn

Harleys pocket tampon

It’s diamonds are a girls best friend yeah babey!

The male backup dancers are wearing muzzles/masks (Roman has one too for a split second) is an interesting flip on the way women are typically the ones being silenced, as well as Harleys desire to silence the men around her and be the one telling and controlling her own narrative

“Hey! you’re that singer no one listens to!” “Hey! You’re the asshole no one likes!”

Harley with her glitter gun

Harleys reaction when the sprinklers go off is perfect—Margot makes her feel like a living cartoon

This cell block fight scene is a showstopper

I like that cass doesn’t immediately want to stay with Harley. It gives her some agency in a story where she’s mostly just following the curveballs life throws her

Harleys little stare straight into the camera when cass admits to eating the diamond

Harley at the grocery store really emphasizes that she’s a total weirdo

I think I heard somewhere that the pic of child Harley with the nuns is a pic of young Margot??? Not totally sure though

Cass not knowing who the joker is goes with the whole supers are like celebrities thing—cass probably follows a whole different group of them (like how most kids follow different celebrities than their parents)

Huntress huntress huntresssss

“Give me number 32. Mild”

This kid in helenas flashback doesn’t really look like she’s grow up to look like Mary Elizabeth Winstead

This filming in this flashback has so much style

Helena practicing in the bathroom mirror with her drawing and her multiple bottles of travel mouthwash

We’re in the scene where Roman makes the girl dance on the table and oh god it’s so uncomfortable

No no no no no not this hate this

Alright that nightmare’s done

“and that’s why you should never pay federal income taxes”

Harley offering to bring cass to Roman after hearing doc say “business is business is interesting

OH ITS HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT TIME

Dinahs car is yellow because it’s...canary yellow

Roman putting on the mask is cool and all but he’s just gonna have to take it back off to get changed

This Harley vs Renee fight is fun because they keep mirroring each other—they’re fighting each other, but they’re really on the same side

The way the women all kind of circle each other at first and don’t immediately get along

Cass popping up with the gun also gives her some agency—she’s at the end of her rope with the diamond and being betrayed by Harley

“I am nOT THE CROSSBOW KILLER”

The way Huntress sounds so uncertain when she says “...and now I’m done” Mary’s acting really popped off

Roman’s a bitch but I like his outfits

Helenas little smile when Harley says “you just killed his BFF”

I love how excited Harley is when they all agree to work together

Roman’s giving his little speech in the back of a pickup truck?

When all the guys turned around with masks on I got chills

“I love this chick she’s got rage issues.” “I DONT HAVE RAGE ISSUES”

Huntress stabbing the guy while going down the slide is peak cinema

This set lights up as the scene progresses and reveals more

I love love love that Helena is genuinely caring towards Cass and recognizing that children shouldn’t have to go through trauma like her

“When the fuck did she have time to do a shoe change?”

THE HAIR TIE YEAH

Forgot to mention this but it’s a stroke of genius for this place to be called the booby trap

Love me some canary cry

“Told ya she had a killer voice”

Harleys chase was a real group hurrah—the canary cry cleared the way and pushed her forward, Huntress towed her, Renee gave her the gun with one bullet

Cass and Roman are just sitting in the back seat. That must have been an awkward car ride

Cass pulling the gun away from Roman when he tries to shoot up at Harley when Harleys on top of the car is elite

Damn this is one foggy pier

When Harley starts with “your protection is based on the fact that people are scared of you” you expect her to say that it’s wrong or something but she says “I’m the one they should be scared of” this movie messed with tropes so much

That also includes the whole “one bullet” thing—Harley misses with her one bullet, and you don’t really know what’s gonna happen next

“I took your ring”

You can pinpoint exactly when Harley and Roman realize what Cass did

I’d put the entire taco scene here if I could

Renee moving the drink away from cass shows her caring side—she doesn’t want a kid to get into alcohol and make the mistakes she did

“Does she always talk like the cop in a bad eighties movie?”

Harley and Cass stealing the car is a fun way to show that she may be on the side of the good guys sometimes, but that doesn’t necessarily make her one

“Woman” by Kesha

Wow the outfits in this scene are iconic

I mean they are in the whole movie but I especially like these

Cass riding around with Harley and a hyena, wearing cute outfits and learning the ways of chaos

Harley got her sandwich!

The credit art for this movie is cool

Especially how they represent each character

In conclusion this is still my favorite movie

I know I’ve been kinda absent recently, but watching this again has really reminded me how much I love it. I got really busy but I’m going to Make An Effort to be a contributing member of the bop fandom again.

infodumping about my rottmnt self insert

hello,,,, i wanted to talk about my s/i,,,,,,,,, now im making you listen to me about it. enjoy my self insert nonsense, i love you mwah mwah

also it took way longer than it should have to write all this oh god

with my self inserts, they tend to fall into two categories. either "very complex and has a well thought out story and character arc" or "wdym i was just there"

my rottmnt insert is a bit of a mix of the two. which means i've thought about the personality and backstory and character dynamics a lot, but i dont know what the actual shit i'm doing during the events of the story GHSDGHGF-

but anyways

my insert is just. a bimbo. like i'm very, very sweet and surprisingly strong, but am also just fucking dumb. i'm like if a dog were a person, like, theres absolutely nothing going on up in that head of mine but by god am i full of love. i also may or may not have fleas, who knows.

i'm really chaotic too, usually by complete accident. i crave anarchy, but i hardly ever mean to actually cause it. most often times it's just me being my stupid bitchass adhd kid self and accidentally wreaking havoc.

when i ever actually try to be a menace, it doesnt really work out as well as i want it to. itll just come off as more cute than anything, like a little kid trying to be one of the adults.

speaking of cute, im actively the cutest person in the room. both in real life and in self inserts. you dont need any more elaboration than that, you know i'm right.

but yeah im just a feral, very cute bimbo and that's valid.

moving onto backstory, i've got a very big, but unfortunately not all too close family. and none of them really ever seem to acknowledge my existence, or any one else's for that matter. legit, my parents couldn't tell you how many kids they had (its 12) or what their names or ages are, and honestly none of us could do it either. we're all so disconnected from one another, and its unlikely that we will ever be close in the future.

(fun fact: i actually wrote it like this to directly contrast my tmnt 2012 s/i, who has a small but very tight-knit family. might talk about my 2012 insert sometime, who knows 👀.)

this is where april comes in. we met when we were little, and her family took me in and showed me what it meant to be a family. i mean, they didn't adopt me or anything like that, but honestly they may as well have. i practically live with them at this point, and actively call april my sister and her moms my parents.

this only gets more prominent when we meet the guys, and especially so with splinter, who takes on the role of a father figure to me.

imagine going all your life without a real family, and then finding two of them, both of which are three times the family you originally had.

can you tell found family is my favorite trope

ANYWAYS

character dynamic time

starting with april, i've already said that she's honestly just my feral older sister, which means that we're very, very close and love each other dearly, but also would gladly take the opportunity to hit the other with a bus. like, we'd give the other our kidney without a second thought, but would never let each other borrow our phone chargers.

but DEADASS, we're best friends. like we probably bought those cheesy matching bff necklaces when we were little and still have then now.

lowkey april and i can ninja mind meld, but its more like we intensely stare at each other from across the room and make over the top gestures until our brain waves finally link and we get what the other is trying to say.

leo and i are bimbo/himbo solidarity.

one of us is supposed to be the anchor for the other's chaos, but neither of us knows who it is. it changes pretty much every day.

tbh, leo and i are like. the type of friends who stay up until 4am playing sonic and the black knight while having in depth conversations about life. which i feel like paints a pretty clear picture of what our friendship is like; we love and understand each other very deeply, but are also just the dumbest bitches on earth.

(this is the part that took me like two days to bring myself to write haha oopsies)

mikey and i are like. bootleg april and donnie.

FHGDFHGDHFGD I KNOW THAT DOESNT MAKE MUCH SENSE BUT ITS THE BEST WAY I CAN EXPLAIN IT-

Like, we're immensely supportive of one another and are arguably bffs. We honestly are really just vibing a lot of the time. There's basically never any conflict between us, because we're both very understanding of one another and pretty down to earth.

basically we're april and donnie if you took out all the conflict.

raph and i are borderline also bimbo/himbo solidarity, but what sets us apart from leo and i is that he actually knows when to put a stop to our nonsense, similar to how he is with his brothers.

raph tends to parent me around a lot and can sometimes be very protective, but honestly i probably need it, i'm very dumb and very soft.

he is very slightly sick of my bullshit, but he also often joins in on my dumbassery so hdfhdfhfhfh.

no but really, he's vv sweet and caring with me and actually has taught me a lot of coping mechanisms for my anxiety. we help each other out with a lot of stuff, actually-- although him a bit more so than me, since he has a lot of difficulty letting others take care if him. we're working on it though, dont worry.

okay. time for the big one.

if you know my blog, you probably know that i'm the local donnieromantic. i cant go a day without talking about him i stg.

but yes we are,,, in love 🥺. to point where it's almost comical. i've compared us to gomez and morticia addams several times in the past, because yeah, we are honestly just them. maybe toned down, but only a little. if they're a 10 on the "overly in love" scale, we're an 8.

we're highly affectionate with each other, with is surprising, considering how adverse donnie typically is to that sort of thing. i was actually large part of the reason he got to be so comfortable about it, helping him come out of his metaphoric, emotional shell. and now we're pretty much always doing something affectionate-- whether it be cuddling and smooching on the couch, or something smaller like holding hands or saying cute things to each other.

we're extremely understanding of one another, and have honestly grown so much because of it. both in our relationship and as people. we've had so many moments where we've really had to approach situations from a different angle or try to understand each other's problems and insecurities. it wasnt always easy, but it made as stronger as a relationship and as individuals.

if we're talking about, like, basic, non-romantic interactions, then we have a similar dynamic to him and mikey-- in that we're very much opposites but get along very, very well despite having little to nothing in common.

he's honestly quite patient and gentle with me, especially when compared to how he is with his brothers. he hasnt much tolerance for their nonsense and stupidity, but with me-- the dumbest in all the land-- he's all "take your time" and "don't worry, you'll get it :))."

he's pretty much never upset with me, nor am i with him. there's been a handful of disagreements and fights in the past, but nothing we werent able to work out.

genuinely, we're just very good friends and extremely close, so transitioning into a romantic relationship, although a bit confusing for us at first, wasnt actually all too difficult.

i could keep going but i literally feel like ive gone on too long already. but if you wanna hear more about any of my self insert stupidity, then you can just slide into my inbox and send in an ask. i also have a donnie gush tag, which is fun.

okay bye im love you lots mwah!!!! 💖💞💝💕💖💞💝💕💓💕💖💝
