#And he just looks so cuddly

I kinda realize that every time I have a rough day I make him hug me

I like the idea that Cross realised Killer was touchstarved (he didn't have the words for it but he noticed how much Killer would settle down from it) and started giving him very small basic affection. Pat on the back, hand on the shoulder, maybe a quick friendly hug, all things he probably learned through royal guard training and thinks of as normal friend/coworker stuff.

But as they both got more comfortable in the routine of it, Killer started instigating touches and he was not shy about it (like not just leaning into Cross's side during movie night, he looks like he's trying to get into Cross's jacket with him)

And that this more intense affection made Cross realise he might also be just a little bit touchstarved

Katara playfully splashes water at Aang, who responded by sulking in a brooding cave and then exploding lava in her face and storming off without any apology. From The Lost Adventures.

Golly gee why don't I want to ship such a wholesome wonderful healthy ship like this? Gee whiz, it's great Katara didn't end with Zuko, otherwise she might get lava thrown at her in an argument from an immature, emotionally unavailable, abusive jerk! /s Oh, right, Aang is the one who did that.

Aang has always been the one to hurt Katara. Funny Zuko hasn't. Remind me again who scarred Katara's hands, who blew up into the avatar state leaving Katara to pull him out lest he destroy her, her brother, and everything around him? Who stormed off right before the finale without communication leaving his friends to die in the invasion? Was it Zuko who did those things? Was it?

Such a wholesome ship!

always one of my fave looks and the sweetest appearance (if you’ve never seen his interview at the ST premiere go watch it). fresh from filming Hoard and a little bashful 🤎

[chiptrillino]

Would Zuko wear see-through robes for formal events? Is there anyone who could stop him?

why would Sokka do that

Yes and no. depends on the event, where he is and mostly the season.

He wouldn't ever wear see through robes for official meetings in the EK, and definitely not in the WT. primary the climate wouldn't allow it but also the concept of showing skin is a bit frowned upon nobles in the EK, maybe. Does zuko care? No, but he is here to get his job done and not keep on remembering people that 'excuse you, my scar is up here in my face'.

I personally don't think the fire nation has a problem with nudity in rural aerials or among the common folks. If the weather allows it. It can get hot, it can get humid. Especially on the costal arias at ports, where lots of fishing or life revolves on being close to the water, you see fisherman chilling in the shade in nude. Or a woman having striped off her top while she does the laundry in the river.

Nobles are of course... again a bit more prude. But Ursa used to be a simple farmers' child, and I like to think that the sneaking away is a habit that zuko copied from her. Going through the marked with his mom holding her hand, not as nobles, just simple people. Eating greasy food and way to sweat treats. Watching the life just happening.

Then his "I have to be perfect crown prince" face kicks in. followed by the mess of Agni Kai and banishment time.

jee can sunbathe nude in the middle of the deck. No uncle you can't, you should behave according to your status!!!

I like to think that after years of, you know... propaganda and military entering every single household. The fire nation grew more free and living became more enjoyable. Looser robes, maybe thinner see through fabrics. Just away from everything that remains of the oppressive, restrictive time. Letting in more sunshine.

Sweet baby angel Echo

mclaren's baby🫶

pairing : oscar piastri x platonic fem!driver reader, lando norris x platonic fem!driver reader

summary : aaliyah l.n is the youngest driver on the grid and is mclaren's third driver. the entire grid love and adore her, she is literally formula one's baby! but no one loves her more than her teammates, lando and oscar. let's just say she's mclaren's baby for the lack of a better term, more than she is formula one as a whole's baby!

warnings : none really lol

a/n : this was requested by anon and thank you so much for understanding my want for wanting to write more fluff over angst! also, i'm sorry anon but i decided to give the reader a name because it would bother and confuse me lol

being a formula one driver was exhausting for all that got into the sport and was excellent in it. and the three mclaren drivers, oscar piastri, lando norris and aaliyah l.n knew just how exhausting it could be. those three were known as formula one's sleepy heads because of how much and how well they slept and could sleep anywhere. and it was quite common for those three to be caught sleeping, whether it was together all three of them, or them in duos or separately, it was always something that would then be brought up during the next grand prix in the press conferences. even though it would never be caught by their specific cameras, it was always photographed or videoed by the other drivers on the grid who just found it hilarious and very sweet that they were sleeping next to one another.

however, this time, aaliyah and oscar did get caught and in a very compromising position that could have been described as 'suggestive' if it wasn't already known that both aaliyah and oscar were dating other people. and their partners had absolute confidence and no insecurities that what these three were doing was anything more than platonic. this time they were caught falling asleep together in their hospitality room at the monaco grand prix. oscar leaning against the wall with aaliyah sitting in his lap, his arms wrapped around her protectively to keep her safe and secure as the girl tried her very best in fighting the sleep that oscar had very easily welcomed by that point. he was so exhausted that he could no longer fight it, his head resting back against the wall whilst the rest of his body was making sure aaliyah wouldn't fall off of his as he held her tightly. lando was miracuously still wide awake after the race and was just keeping a sweet watchful eye on his two fellow teammates just in case oscar loosens his grip or aaliyah slides right out, he's right there just in case something like that were to happen to catch his best friend.

"...and as we leave ferrari's hospitality and say goodbye to charles and carlos, our cameras enter into the mclaren's hospitality and...aw this is super sweet...we say hello to lando norris, oscar piastri and aaliyah l.n. lando is wide awake unlike his two teammates oscar and aaliyah. aaliyah, poor girl is trying her very best to fight off her exhaustion whilst oscar seems to have welcomed it, no longer able to fight it and has fallen asleep with his teammate on his lap, his arms wrapped tightly around her so she doesn't slip or fall off of him. it's also clear that lando, whilst scrolling through his phone, is keeping a very watchful eye on aaliyah and oscar just to make sure nothing bad happens and no injuries happen since oscar and aaliyah are on top of the bed and there is the potential of easily sliding off. do you have anything about this to comment on, mr coulthard?" one of the commentators, martin brundle, says with a sweet smile as david coulthard speaks up

"why yes i do mr brundle and speaking on our three mclaren drivers that we see here, it's very clear and known by so many of us that aaliyah is the youngest driver on the grid and she is very much loved by all of the drivers. however, this moment here that we are witnessing is one of the many moments where we're shown just how much more loved she is by her fellow teammates, oscar and lando. it's well known that they absolutely adore her more than the rest of the grid and would do anything for her which i always find the sweetest thing every single time we see those moments throughout the race week. however, now that we look back at the sleeping drivers, we can now see that aaliyah can no longer fight against her exhaustion and has now fallen asleep on oscar. lando, once again, is still wide awake and has now decided to begin to take photos of the sweet moment that all of us are witnessing live at this moment..." david's voice fades out as aaliyah falls into her deep sleep in the lap of her fellow mclaren teammate, oscar, his arms holding her tightly across her middle so she wouldn't slip

oscar and aaliyah managed to sleep for a good couple of hours before lando was put into the awful position of having to wake them up for the press conference after the race. when lando woke up his teammates, they were still perfectly still and comfortable in the same position they both fell asleep in. which, for so many of the mechanics were so shocked and impressed by. whenever oscar and aaliyah fell asleep with one another, it always sucked for lando to wake them up. because just like him, those two loved their sleep and hated to be disturbed when they were sleeping.

"...hey, osco, lela, i know this sucks but you two need to wake up!" lando's voice was what the two other drivers heard next as they both groaned

"thanks lando!" oscar groaned, his eyes opening immediately whilst aaliyah's did not which oscar and lando found to be the sweetest thing ever

it was very clear from the beginning just how exhausted she had been the entire race weekend. it was clear she hadn't been able to sleep properly since she was so nervous since this grand prix was the first one that her parents were going to be attending. and because of that, she had pushed herself too far and exerted herself a little to much which caused her and red bull driver sergio perez to crash. thankfully though, she did manage to recover and get into the points at fourth place, just missing the podium by a small margin. her parents though were just glad their daughter was able to recover from the crash and still do so well, not mad at all that she didn't make the podium which was a relief for everyone that watched the moment the young driver had with her parents. and now that she was finally able to relax, her body had finally decided that the only thing it could physically do now was just to sleep. and that was why she still hadn't woken up even after hearing lando.

and whilst this was very adorable, lando couldn't just let aaliyah stay asleep. especially when it was time for the 90 minute press conference after the podium ceremony. even though she just missed out on making it, she was still needed for some reason as were her other mclaren teammates.

"i'm sorry lela but you have to wake up!" lando sighs, his hand brushing through aaliyah's hair, hoping it would wake her up

and it did wake her up. even though it made her cower back into oscar's chest for a couple of seconds. which was another sweet moment caught on the f1 cameras, she did eventually lift her head back up and slipped herself out of oscar's grip so they could leave for the press conference.

"next time lando please warn me a little better and nicer?" aaliyah joked as she smiled at him, pushing him slightly as he giggled

"of course i will. i'm so sorry lela, it was so cruel of me to wake you up like that," lando giggles as does aaliyah as she shakes her head, oscar just rolls his eyes with a small smile as the three of them make their way to where they needed to be

they had finally made their way to the press conference and it was clear to the drivers that the interviews already know what they were going to ask. so, the drivers, oscar, lando and aaliyah just let them do their thing.

"...welcome to the driver's press conference and with us here we have our three drivers from mclaren, lando norris, oscar piastri and aaliyah l.n. before we get into our questions, just thought to remind everyone to be respectful, don't ask questions that could be percieved as offensive and also state your name, country and which publication you are representing, go ahead..." the moderator of the press conference announced as straight away, hands of the media personell flew up into the air

however, a media represenative of sky sports was the first one to ask a question and she went straight into it.

"...hello, i'm elena barker from sky sports and i just have a question for aaliyah and i was just wondering if out of your two male drivers, who is more comfortable to fall asleep on, oscar or lando?" and giggles ripped through the press conference room immediately as aaliyah giggled, giving looks to oscar and lando who also giggle

straighening herself up in her seat, aaliyah thinks for a moment before coming to her response, "for me it depends on the situation in regards to who's more comfortable out of the two of them. so, today for example, the award goes to oscar since he was the one that i fell asleep on. however, i have to say, majority of the time, it is lando that is more comfortable since oscar and i have only actually fallen asleep on each other a couple of other times. whereas me and lando have done it since we were kids growing up together back when we did karting. but yeah, today the winner, so to speak, is oscar," aaliyah smiled as elena smiled before lowering her microphone, satisfied by the girl's response to her question

more questions were asked and distrubuted between the three mclaren drivers before finally, the press conference came to its end. and the three drivers were glad, especially aaliyah since towards the end, the poor girl was really fighting so hard to stay awake. she was truly so exhausted that even that quick power nap she had with oscar wasn't enough to fully keep her awake for the press conference.

☘

thankfully though, by the time the three drivers returned back to their hotel, the three of them walking each other to their separate rooms so they could properly rest up, lando made a quick split decision. it was after he and aaliyah were about to say their final farewell to oscar, ready to shut his hotel room door when lando decided that he'd keep aaliyah company. and that was because he knew that whilst oscar was coming back to his girlfriend lily waiting for him in the hotel room, aaliyah did not have her boyfriend waiting for her.

"...lan, we're here! thanks for walking with me to my room," aaliyah smiled, turning to look back at lando who had a look on his face that she couldn't decipher

especially since he didn't make his move to leave to walk himself back to his room. he just stood there as aaliyah was a little confused before speaking up again.

"lan, don't you need to go back to your room?" aaliyah asked as lando shook his head

"nah, i've got everything i need with me in my bag..." he trailed off as aaliyah giggled softly with a look of confusion

"...what do you mean, lan? what's going on? if you don't think i'm safe, you know i am because you've just walked with me here..." aaliyah trailed off as lando giggled and shook his head

"...i was hoping we could have a sleepover like we used to do when we were kids," lando almost whispered as though he was ashamed as aaliyah's face softened, her smile sweet

"oh...lando...that's completely fine! of course we can! you know i can't say no to having a sleepover with you! why didn't you just say that at the beginning after leaving oscar's room?" aaliyah giggled, finally unlocking the room as they both walked in

lando shrugs his shoulders as aaliyah jumps onto her bed as a small 'oomf' was heard from her impact onto the bed, "i don't know, i thought you said we grew out of them, hence why we slowly stopped doing them..." lando whispered, his face getting warm with embarrassment as aaliyah shook her head

"...not at all lando! we just stopped doing them not because we grew out of them but because we just haven't had the chance to slow down and just take a break to have the opportunity to have a sleepover," aaliyah's voice wasn't teasing or condescending, it was soft and understanding as lando smiled shyly

aaliyah could see that lando was still apprehensive about his idea of having a sleepover after what felt like the longest race weekend ever. when in reality, it was the same length as every other race weekend, it just felt long because the days were as slow as a garden snail.

scooching over on her bed, aaliyah patted the spot next to her for lando to join her. and it only took less than a moment for lando to hesitate before he relented and took off his shoes that were now definitely blistering up his poor feet. joining aaliyah on the bed, it was silence between the two best friends before aaliyah spoke up again.

"driving alongside you and oscar this year, so far, has been incredible, lando. if i could do this forever, i would..." aaliyah sighed, turning her head so she was looking at lando as lando looked worried

"...what do you mean if i could do this forever i would? is there something you're not telling us?" lando freaked out as aaliyah shook her head, immediately settling lando's worry

"oh my gosh, no, lan! not now anyway, i plan to stay in mclaren, in formula one, with you and osc for as long as i possibly can! i just...i know this is something i'll have to eventually leave. i mean, me and [boyfriend] have been talking about the possibility of starting the journey of becoming parents..." aaliyah's voice started to fade out as lando's eyes began to droop

he had forgotten just how exhausted he was since joining aaliyah in her hotel room that for a moment, his exhaustion melted away. that was until it quickly returned and he slowly begun to slide down into the comfort of the hotel bed. and aaliyah couldn't get offended by lando starting to fall asleep to her telling him that she and her boyfriend were planning on starting their family. so, she decided to lift up the quilt and blanket of the bed so lando could attempt to slide himself into it before completely falling asleep. when she saw that lando was comfortable and fully asleep, his snores soft and quiet as his face and every single muscle in his body fully relaxed, she also felt her own exhaustion take over her body. and soon enough, aaliyah had also fallen asleep, her head resting on lando's chest, his heartbeat soothing her into her own deepest sleep.

it was really all too much for little lando norris and aaliyah l.n. the both of them just needing a little bit of sleep.

*ignores the screams in the distance* On a more positive note:

[ratatatastic]

lmaoooo maffhew wanting the knot immediately and having to wait for sasha to catch up with that is so deeply funny like. this omega is not subtle and you’re not a stupid alpha babe! can only imagine what benny has to say to maffhew about it once he catches on and stops banging his head against a wall

idiots to lovers is always great but especially when its two people who would be hitched with 10 kids by now if they stopped being dumb for a single second like its that easy and yet...

to me they very much fall around the same time (infatuation at first scent if you will) just that sasha takes some time to get there not because he's dumb (okay he's a little dumb) but in the sense that its like "this person is very interested in me, i can see and recognise that but theres so much cognitive dissonance in my brain right now between knowing that intrinsically and finding that hard to believe so i unintentionally play dumb because obviously i'm reading too much into things it cant be me they're interested in haha that'd crazy but they're being awfully touchy and flirty with me wow"

but also it takes two to tango and we have to acknowledge that and this is when i would love to bring up the ways in which this man decides is the best way to go about that because he is a catholic school girlie... there's so much hilarity to be had here especially because his flirting is very uh how you say... a little ass backwards if you will especially considering dynamics

"I make it a point to keep the door closed when we're alone in a room together! That's basically a clear invitation that I'm down to fuck!!! Im basically asking to be ragdolled on his knot!!!"

and Benny just pinches the bridge of his nose like "I don't know how to explain to you in a way you'll understand that not everyone went to Catholic school."

But saying that Sasha does side-eye the door knob heavily when Maffhew goes over to close it the first time and he starts sweating like he just got dragged into a game of 7 Minutes in Heaven he did not sign up for and he's 13 again and oh god he got paired with a really cute girl, and he hasn't even had his first real kiss yet and-

And then absolutely nothing happens because Maffhew is just waiting with a polite expectant smile (because his work here is done, he did the heavy lifting know it's Sasha's turn) and this is when Sasha's dynamic classes training kicks in and he basically scolds himself for even assuming in the first place because this is clearly a show of trust (correct) not an invitation for extra circular activities (incorrect buzzer noise) and it basically becomes "This Omega really trusts me, I'm honoured especially as Pack Leader that I'm able to be so accepted into such a private space with the inherent knowledge that I will not encroach their boundaries whatsoever because consent is verbal, this is not in any way an invitation to take advantage of them this is deep platonic trust I will guard with my life :]"

and if you listen closely you can hear the lovely sounds of Maffhew bashing his head into a wall about how much of a gentleman Sasha is but also COME ONNNNNN... you know... once Maffhew realises what's happening which (looks at my watch) is not due for another few months really

Battle of wills: unstoppable force (maffhews catholic school understanding of dynamic interactions) vs immovable object (overseas alpha cotillion classes)

And if you think it's an Oh! An overseas dynamic thing! It's not. The Euros are watching the horrible car crash in front of them and doing absolutely nothing about it because it's none of their business, but they will stare at it... maybe judge it a bit but definitely are observing from the tall grass.

and I'm also not saying that luosty lundy forsy and bobby have a current running bet of how long it'll take for maffhew to break sasha in but i'm also not not saying that... luosty goaded lundy in the midst of a gossip session ("It has to be 3 months, right?) forsy happened to be around so lundy turned to him for advice ("7 months.") and maybeeee bobby overheard from all the way over from his stall and puts in his two cents for what it's worth ("6. Captain nice but not that nice. Very impatient." "So 3!" "No. Impatience makes him double the time, and wait longer. 6 months.") (lundy finally settles on a good 5 months because he's indecisive)

And Sasha does eventually pick up everything maffhew is throwing down... eventually... and when he does it becomes more so I want to court this omega the way they deserve I will take this slow and romance them sweetly :) *smash cut to maffhew caterwauling like a cat in heat*

but also once again its not like maffhew is helping sasha in any way this is idiot4idiot and benny would like to enjoy the car crash with the euros but unfortunately that's his soulmate, thats his bestie, his littermate from birth who has been weaned on the same teat as they climbed over each other to get to it, the first girl you kissed in your childhood bedroom because somehow you started play fighting on the bed because she was like i could totally pin you down easy and then she does and you always noticed how beautiful she was but shes even more gorgeous when she's pinning your wrists to your hannnah montana duvet you promised yourself youd changed out before she came over but you forget and well she teased you about it and you cant help but giggle about how perfect this all is and it seems that the natural conclusion to this is to taste the strawberry lipgloss of her lips because whats a kiss between besties huh its tacky and sticky and it tastes like summer and just other apt metaphors to put here about the inherent -isms of their relationship that i nearly cant put to words properly other than girls having fun (they are fucking)

and well anyways benny is watching and he has a lot of things to say about how its been proceeding so far

"You should really use your words."

"I am!"

"Right because smelling like a fucking perfume shop in the middle of October is using your words."

"This usually works with most Alphas okay!"

"Sasha isn't most Alphas."

"Tell me about it." Matthew grouses before he peeks over to Sam, looking up from beneath his eyelashes—the exact way he knows both endears him to Sam but also absolutely miffs him all the same, "Worked on you, didn't it?"

"Oh, is that what we're doing right now? We're calling getting a lapful of a preening O in preheat in the middle of a roadie a normal way to go about these things."

"It worked didn't it?" Matthew reiterates.

"It would work better if you use—"

"Okay! Alright!! I get it!!!" He does not.

like benny here is unfortunately an active listening participant in the going ons of the fuckery if not because hes involved by proxy because of maffhew because who else will hold his hair back as he calls him a dumb bitch you know

How would Dabi react to you falling asleep on him?

dabi x fem!reader

it has never happened to dabi for someone to fall asleep around him, let alone on him.

poor boy would be so surprised and stare at you leaning your head on his shoulder while blinking a few times, contemplating if he should just wake you up or move you to rest against the couch’s back, but something about your peaceful expression while letting out soft breaths from your parted lips and the way your hand was encircling his wrist kindly to keep him close made dabi relax right away, enjoying that warmth and rare peacefulness you always brought into his dark world.

seeing your head nearly drop from his shoulder, he lift his free arm and resting the hand delicately (something very unlike him) on it to shift your head so to adjust it better against his shoulder, so you could be more comfortable.

he would also snort amused at seeing you nuzzle your face against him while smiling so happily in your sleep, caressing slowly and softly your cheek with the back of his fingers before turning forward contemplating what to do, only for him to end up lean his head on yours and fall asleep too.
