I’ve seen it done already but ermmmmm overwatch x mouthwashing 👁️👁️‼️

Trans Moira holds a special place near and dear to my heart

Along with jacked Sloan

Supports would tear J*mbo a new one, prove me wrong

Also I think it’s so funny to think about Daisuke’s luck running out once he’s pitted against a military-trained(?)-pro-gamer (they cycled through three games and Daisuke still can’t beat Hana at any of them)

And here’s extra doodles, Overwatch and Mouthwashing centered :3

Full pic under the cut!+other random doodle

Young regulus who had awful separation anxiety when it came to Sirius.

Cut to many of years later when Regulus has to call Harry, his boyfriend’s (of 2 years) 6 year old son, each night to tell him a bedtime story while on a business trip.

Sirius thinks this type of karma is hilarious

Regulus is pacing in their bedroom when James walks in.

“Reg?” James tries to get his attention, but Regulus is too far in his own head to respond. James walks towards Regulus and stands at the end of where he’s pacing. “Regulus?” He tries again when Regulus is in front of him. James reaches out but doesn’t touch him. But Regulus quickly wraps his hands around James’ forearms and looks him directly in the eyes.

“Dark green or light green?” Regulus asks, desperately.

James looks equally concerned and confused. “What?”

Regulus walks over to their bed where there are two jumpers, a dark green and a light green.

“Which one do I wear, James?” He asks, and he sounds frantic. “The dark green is too nice; it’ll make me look like I’m trying too hard. But I wore the light green one last week when I hung out with Barty. And that’s all it is. A jumper you throw on to hang out with friends when you don’t care what you look like.” Regulus rants and starts pacing again. “And I have nothing in between. Which means I should probably go shopping, but that doesn’t help me—”

“Regulus?” James cuts him off softly. Regulus turns to him with an exasperated sigh. “This isn’t about the jumpers, is it?” James asks gently.  

Regulus stares at James for a moment then slumps his shoulders with another defeated sigh. “I’m so nervous, Jamie.” His voice sounds small even to him.

James instantly wraps Regulus in his arms, “Love. You don’t have to go. Not if it makes you this anxious. I don’t want—”

Regulus is shaking his head against James’ chest before he cuts him off “I want to go.” His voice is muffled but firm. “I want to go so badly. It’s just that…” He trails off and shakes his head.

James leads them over to sit on the edge of the bed. He takes Regulus’ hands in his and rubs soothing circles. He doesn’t say anything, he just waits and lets Regulus gather his thoughts. After a long moment Regulus takes a deep breath.

“I’ve never been to a family gathering before.” He starts and James furrows his eyebrows. “We had family events, and it was always a production, a performance.” Regulus explains. “I was expected to be silent and invisible. Tonight, I’m going to have to talk and socialize and I don’t know how to do that. Especially with people I don’t know. And especially with important people. And I want to meet your family so badly but they’re so important to you and I’m not going to know what to say or how to act and I want them to like me, but I don’t want—”

“Baby.” James cuts off Regulus’ spiral and cups his cheeks. “I love you so much.” He tells him with a soft smile. “And I hate that it’s making you anxious and nervous. But it means so much to me that you’re excited to meet my family.”

“James! I’m not excited. I’m terrified!” Regulus cuts in.

“I think you might be terrified because you’re excited.” James says and Regulus narrows his eyes skeptically. James looks at him thoughtfully for a moment. “Okay. It’s okay. You don’t have to go if you don’t want to. I promise—”

“I want to go, James!” Regulus cuts him off again. “I want to meet your family. I want to talk to your Abuela about her poetry, because the poems you showed me are beautiful. And you said one of your cousins is going to Cambridge to study Astronomy and I’d love to talk to him. And Effie is so excited to introduce me to her sisters. I want to go, James. I’m just… nervous and terrified and anxious and—”

“Regulus.” James cuts in with a giant smile. “You’re going to be fine, love” He tells him. “And I’m going to be there the whole time. And mom and dad will be there. And we can always step away if you need a minute to yourself… I know you’re nervous, Reg. But I promise, it’ll be okay.” His smile gets impossibly wider. “And they’re going to love you.”

Regulus sighs and turns to lean against James’ side, and he starts nervously fidgeting with his fingers. He thinks about everything he just said and everything James just said and everything he’s feeling. He’s quiet for a few minutes then he takes a deep breath.

“I’m still nervous.” He whispers.

“I know.” James says simply.

“Okay.” Regulus sighs and nods his head. “Jamie?” Regulus says after a moment. James hums in response. “Dark green or light green?” Regulus asks and James huff a tiny laugh then hums again.

“Why don’t you wear the navy one mom got you?” He suggests.

Regulus sits up straight and looks directly at James. “Well, why didn’t you say that before? This whole thing could have been avoided!”

“OW!? What now…”

He rubbed his head as he felt it hit the ground.

“Sis you good?”

She nodded.

“Mhm…”

“I think we might have traveled through… something..”

“Resident smart guy ain’t so smart, eh.”

The other two laughed.

"woah- hey! Are you guys okay?"

GingerBrave was the first to notice the three, rushing over to check on them.

"wait - GingerBrave -"

James is one of those people that gets really overwhelmed and anxious often and they have a weird way of coming down from it, both of which really freaked out their friends the first time that they saw it.

The first being James just lying on the floor, completely blank, wearing headphones with music (usually classical because it feels cool in their headphones) blasting, and staring up at the ceiling with no expression. Sometimes they'll be tracing alone their ribcage with their fingers, pressing every couple of seconds.

The other being them taking a really long time in the shower. This one freaked Regulus out, because he--just like the others--assumed that James just took a long time in the shower or whatever, which was weird because they're not super into personal upkeep so they don't have an extensive shower routine like the Black brothers. That was, until Regulus was finally comfortable enough to go into the bathroom while James was showering and saw them laying at the bottom of the shower as it slowly filled with water, their arms floating beside them and once against staring up at the ceiling.

They always seem so distant and unconnected that it freaks out the guys for a long while, though they're clearly still aware as they'll sometimes turn to watch if they make a noise or walk around their place on the ground and they'll pull their headphones off and mumble something like, "I'm anxious, floor time" or they'll loll their head to watch Regulus while he goes about whatever he's doing in the bathroom.

They usually seem in higher spirits after their floor time or their shower sesh so none of them comment on it, because it clearly works for them. It's just a little concerning at first.

Regulus Black had social anxiety because I have social anxiety, and he needs to share my struggles.

[the1970sdeadgaywizard-regulus]

When Regulus walks into a room, he scans for entrances and exits. Places where other people could come in. Places where he could flee.

It’s a habit he picked up because of the trauma. Because if he knew where his parents could come in, he also knew where he would be able to escape.

His eyes will dart around rooms, scanning the second he walked in.

He memorises floor plans of any place he had to stay in for long times. He makes escape routes.

Because as a kid, it was either leave the room and get to somewhere where Sirius was, or get hurt.

And he liked his odds with Sirius rather than his odds without him.

Just thought I'd put that out there :)

I’m rotating the “his name is Bren, and he is very intelligent” scene in my head again, but not for the reason you think.

Essek’s vibes in that scene are very different compared the ostensibly similar interaction from episode 95: Essek makes passing reference to a partner, Bells Hells inquires further, Essek answers. But while his response in e95 exudes warmth and affection, now he is strangely… matter-of-fact? oddly serious? distracted? without apparent cause for this change.

I used the transcript version to label the scene, but in reality, the cadence is more like, “His name is Bren. And he is, um… very intelligent.” And during that pause, his brow furrows and he looks down, and his face stays there for the rest of the sentence and halfway into the next one.

I’m struggling to triangulate the tone of voice because it’s not quite dismissive, but it does seem like he is trying to sate their curiosity and be done with it, which is, again, quite unlike how he spoke about Caleb in e95.

Then he sighs and says, “I’m sorry. If my anxiety shows, there’s something about—I dislike not knowing what’s coming, especially given the stakes […]. There are few things I hate more than not knowing.” And I thought that was interesting because 1) relatable, but more importantly 2) he made a mental jump over the course of that sigh and I needed to know what it was.

It’s an easy enough conclusion to come to: his vibes were off because he was anxious. He’s anxious because he’s dealing with a lot of unknowns.

It’s a small character detail and it’s not new, but this instance of it has been spinning in my brain all day. Essek shutters himself a bit when he’s anxious and in new situations. He isn’t necessarily short in his answers and he doesn’t quite have a flat affect, but there is an emotional shuttering. I’m not sure if he’s cutting himself off from his emotions as well or just others—that could be an interesting facet to explore—but it makes him hard to read and he comes off weird. And I love it, it’s such a tasty character beat om nom nom nom

And! While I think it was pretty obvious that he was doing this conscious letting down of walls a lot as he befriended the m9, look at how quick he is now to articulate what’s happening and adjust accordingly! It’s still a little awkward and disjointed, but he’s been practicing over these seven years!!! I’m proud of him!!!!

The fact that Kamek tried to kidnap Mario and Luigi as babies together, intending to kill them so they wouldn't be a nuisance to Bowser in the future, only to end up seperating them and cause both babies extreme separation anxiety for the rest of their lives, but also inevitably made their bond even stronger.
