#Even if she doesnt totally know what that entails

Guarding the shrine.

[normiematsu]

SO CUTES.... MY THOUGHTS........

ive said before theyre like rivals 2 lovers in a way because before they get to know each other all of their interactions involve bumping into each other trying to get the same last piece of anime merch somewhere. eventually yuu is curious about choro bc isnt it kind of sus that hes always popping up wherever she does...! but he doesnt seem like a bad guy so she takes a chance and asks him to hang out. really this is rivals to friends to lovers....

they get along surprisingly well!! so one thing leads to another and they end up spending a looooot of time together, the whole time insisting they're totally just friends (osomatsu is especially insufferable about teasing them it makes him sick to see them all over each other but neither wants to make the first move)

after theyve hung out for a while and gotten closer maybe theres a period where shes super busy with work and cant hang out at ALL... just going in to the manga cafe and going home after cos theyre short staffed, dealing w customers all day and cleaning up after them... its making her insane doing clopening shifts over and over. her mind keeps wandering thinking stuff like "wow i am about to EXPLODE i wish i was hanging out at chibitas or at the arcade with c... c... ch...."

she hits a hard stop then and there. once that thought starts trying to finish itself she already knows shes cooked. the realization that shed rather be spending all her free time with choro is a lil terrifying to her bc she hadnt even realized she liked him that much...! this is so world shattering she would look stupid as hell behind the counter head in her hands with new customers walking in asking if shes ok LOL. she thinks for hours about this afterwards and cant sleep once she gets home.

the next day and from then out until she accidentally drunkenly confesses to him she tries so so so hard to keep up appearances but even choro can catch on to something being... off... about the way shes acting. he doesnt wanna get his hopes up bc hed honestly just be happy as her friend. but the way she steals glances at him when she thinks hes not looking..... the way she scoots the closest to him when everyone is eating at chibitas.... the way she puts up with his antics but never really truly looks down on him for being an otaku neet.... he cant help but hope she likes him back

BONUS: choro is the only one who knows Where she works and what exactly it entails (she tells everyone else she just works at a regular bookstore not a manga cafe, she doesnt want most ppl knowing shes an otaku) so it would be very cute and thoughtful if he showed up to her next shift to cheer her up. he goes up to the counter and coughs nervously to get yuu's attention. she looks up to see this guy she KNOWS is unemployed asking nervously to rent a half hour booth for what's probably his last 350 yen. he slides her favorite candy across the counter with his change. they are both exploding inside

[yuukei-yikes]

What’s your opinion on Harushin (Haruka and Shintaro)? Can be either platonic or romantic

i love that u had to clarify who they are LMAOOO

hmm well i don't like them romantically. when it comes to the yuukei quartet ships I'd put them at the bottom 💔 mostly cuz i just dont ship haruka with anyone other than takane (but for some reason i pass takane around like a blunt) and also it means a lot to me that the reason haruka recognizes he loves takane is bc he defines shintaro as a friend but feels sad putting takane in the same category bc of the different feelings she entails.

and I HAVE THIS PET PEEVE that is a bit silly and nuanced. and it implies a lil bit of jin bashing so TOTAL AND COMPLETE DISCLAIMER i love jin's work and his characters and i immensely respect everything he's done for this franchise he shares with us and clearly loves. that said fuck his misogynistic fucking writing

i could go on and on and on abt that but to answer this ask specifically, i just HATE that shintaro is so nice to haruka and he's just a total ass to ayano and takane for no goddamn reason. takane was SO nice to him at first, could u imagine the good buddies they would've been if shintaro was fucking normal. and shintaro LITERALLY stands in a 2 hour line at the festival just to insult her😭😭😭 he didn't even KNOW her. he's like "u act like this big shot bc all these ppl fawn over you" as if takane hadn't been literally sobbing miserably the whole afternoon precisely bc people were fawning over her and she found it mortifying. bc ofc he didnt know that!! LIKE WHAT WAS THE DAMN REASON HE DID THIS HES CRAZY i will never know what was going thru jin's mind writing that bit but ig all i can do is imagine shintaro was like GIRLS CANT PLAY GAMES *SHAKING* i know im always talking abt shintaro and takane's friendship and how much i love them but god the writing in the hs days is just inexcusable like shintaro is so damn unlikable. i hate when they put him and takane in the same level of irrational arguers bc truly takane is just fucking defending herself. how would u treat a person who didnt even give u a damn chance and just says all that shit to u first meeting. and she's also speaking for ayano too cuz her ass wont defend herself. and also haruka wont say anything. like takanes fighting for her life in here i 10000% support her actions as ene cuz man fuck that guy i find it insane she still cared for him anyway

and it pisses me off that then we see him in novel 6 being totally capable of being a decent fucking person to haruka. like seriously what's his damage. also idk japanese but i THINK shintaro speaks in a polite manner to haruka and not to ayano and takane. obligatory joke im gay not bc i like men but bc i hate women etc etc etc

i could rly go on abt how much it annoys me haruka and shintaro's friendship is super developed opposed to ayano and takane's pathetic dynamic that doesnt pass the already stupid bechdel test (i actually ranted a lil bit abt it on my side twitter a few days ago if you wanna read it LMAO) (it starts as a thread abt harutaka but then i get sidetracked cuz...yeah) BUT THIS IS ABT HARUKA AND SHINTARO SO. yeah u could excuse it with shintaro being the protag and ofc getting a lot more focus on his relationships but still. i kinda resent this aspect of their dynamic so i don't like the ship teehee i just... i think haruka is way too good for him sorry shintaro my man. i say this while shipping shinaya i know but to be fair i make them go through hell in my mind before they can properly be happy together if at all. bc when i start going off abt all this stuff i also start resenting shinaya LMAOOO sometimes i say i like it out of nostalgia but then their whole story together and how theyre literally always destined to find each other (holds head) ok. thats aside the point. i have a complicated relationship to shinaya. it's all abt drawing the line between author and creation and how much u can say augh author is being annoying and augh character is just an ass on purpose. and compared to the pov of all the other kagepro characters, u can indeed see that sexism shit in all of it (i could whip out examples in a second)but on shintaro it is noticeably worse LOL

and again im not blaming fictional characters for author's misogyny, like someone is writing this duuuh which is why haruka never points it out but FROM MY insane perspective i interpret it as haruka recognizing the pattern but he's so damn spineless he can't bring himself to stand up for ayano and takane. he probably makes some comments that shintaro just dimisses and haruka is too nervous to bring them up again *me going off abt the internalized misogyny of fictional characters headcanoned based on the author being misogynistic*

ERM. ANOTHER REMINDER I LOVE KAGEPRO AND I RESPECT JIN FOREVER BC HE IS THE CREATOR OF ALL MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS. but also lol. doesn't mean i cant point out some of this stuff yknooooow

uhhh soooo platonic wise i love them. but its also not my favorite dynamic to explore, id repeat some of the stuff ive already written, it does bother me shintaro is Normal to haruka and not to ayano and takane and haruka acts like nothing. it's just a big thing that annoys me generally abt them lol and i find it tough to separate from author like i normally would with these weird things he includes because this bit is just a whole dynamic you know?? i could.... go on abt this but um. sorry ive been talking for a while. its definitely something im kinda bitter about in the writing.

but still they're definitely sweet, and i understand the appeal completely!!! these are just My thoughts i think its 2023 and i wont get death threats for not liking a ship anymore but also haruka is shintaro's bisexual awakening that is for damn sure. i like entertaining the onesided concept. shintaro being like hahahaha what if we kisssed like ayano and takane apparently did and haruka is like No thanks.

[sidesteppostinghours]

4, 12, and 28 for ocs of your choice?

Good morning, thank you for the ask! :D

4. What’s a hobby they used to have that they miss?

Cyrus- cyrus used to play piano! he stopped for a few reasons (lack of time, associations to the farm, "i am not spending my money on a whole ass piano") but he still remembers how to play, even if hes a bit rusty. he doesnt see any use for the hobby at the moment, which is another reason he hasn't kept up, but who knows. i cannot for the life of me remember if daniel owns and/or plays piano(wouldnt surprise me) but if he does then theyd totally play a duet together.

Cynthia- she was very fond of photography back in the day, but she's had to drop it for safety reasons. while she didnt like photos of herself, she did own a camera and used it liberally for candid shots for most of the rangers. ortega had the most pictures taken of her ofc, she had girlfriend privileges. she also had a good few for the general scenery of los diablos, to remind her of her home. some of the photos that she treasured most were kept on her person, but it got taken away and used as ammunition by the farm when she was discovered. she would pick it up again given the chance, but thats only guaranteeing the photos cant be traced back to her, which isnt happening atm rip.

12. What's something that makes them laugh every single time? Be specific!

Caine- hes my most stoic character, so its actually pretty difficult to make him laugh, but! spoon. definitely spoon. chen has seen caine laugh more in like, 5 months than he has in the several years hes known them. its a combination of whats essentially intoxication from spoons mind, a feeling of understanding they dont usually get with people, and the fact that walks with spoon is one of the very few times he feels safe enough to let his guard down. it helps that chen has pretty quiet thoughts, so theyre not punished for lowering their shields.

Cecilia- oh man, ceci loves to laugh, shes very giggly. if i had to choose though, you can always get her with a dad joke. it doesnt matter how bad it is(and honestly the worse it is the funnier it gets). this is at least 70% of the reason she hangs out with ortega btw. that man is so corny with his jokes and cecilia is shamelessly enabling him. theyre insufferable when theyre together.

28. What do they tell people they want? What do they actually want?

Caine- ok, well. caine avoids talking about themeselves like the plague so good luck getting an answer out of them in the first place. if he really couldnt avoid it, hed just say one of his goals(getting out of hark, for instance). its not wrong, per se, but it doesnt encompass what they actually want because they dont know what they want. in honesty hes a justice step, but hes stuck as a fate step until he has a suitable moment of "oh shit thats why im doing this". they want the heroes to function as actual heroes, instead of glorified lapdogs for the state. as for when everything is finally over, they want a massive fucking nap.

Cyrus- he tells others he wants people to leave him alone, and is Very Annoyed that nobodys listening to him. the reality is, ofc, the opposite lmfao. he cant stand to be alone, hed spiral worse than he already has without people to hold him steady. he wasnt like this before, he was a lot more open with his like for people, but the farm made him paranoid of connection and he just couldnt risk it. unfortunately for him, repression just caused it to turn around and bit him in the ass. gl cyrus, have fun with your new friends <3

Cecilia- cecis extremely open, bombastic, and utterly unashamed to say that shes doing everything for the hell of it. thats still true, she really is just doing things for kicks, but the biggest thing she wants is friends. shes not shy about saying it, but she doesnt get what having a friend entails. so instead, she ends up chasing an mirage of what friends look like, without realizing it needs connection to work. the first time she found an actual friend in daniel since heartbreak, it threw her for a loop.

Cynthia- she thinks she needs to be sidestep again. its not something shell admit for various reasons– the complete impossibility of it being one of them– so instead she settles for telling ortega that she needs to stay a civilian for her sanity. to be fair, thats not a total lie, if she went back to being a hero she would crack. i know its not part of the question but as an extra little nugget, what she needs is for somebody to look at her now and still care for her even compared to sidestep. she is my only step that needs to be told "sidestep is dead" and i swear im trying to beat it into her with a stick.

questions are from here!

[nonbinarygamzee]

gimme some gamzee and jade friend canons, i wanna know what their average hangout is like

WAHHHH yes god okay. friends who start out kind of just talking because jade feels weird about this collective decision to Not Bother with the creepy mysterious possibly evil clown. i think that she kind of feels an obligation to at least try to understand her because they all got out! why shouldnt they! especially because i think that feeling of having been used just... hangs around.

anyways i think at first that entails a lot of weird scenarios where she cant quite tell if gamzee even likes her but well she keeps agreeing to hang out and shes quiet but not aggressive like everyone thought she would be? i picture a lot of just.. walks through parks and the like. Quiet but peaceful in a way she doesnt totally expect out of gamzee. i think they meet on some common ground when jade pieces together gamzee is (or at least was) into making music! maybe music she thinks is kind of silly or weird but music! she can relate to that! gamzee making nice beat tracks she can play her base alongside, showing a technical skill or at least understanding of the tech needed to make that music. its an easy way to do something together and to get more of an understanding since making art is always gonna reveal somebodys insides! also i think they smoke too mych weed together to forget the horrors bc its My au and i get to choose the projection

[castlebyersafterdark]

these children conversations intrigue me! trying to remember what i thought at that age. seemed like everyone would say 'when i have kids' which is shorthand for 'when im a real adult' lol, even if you havent probably considered the reality of having kids yet. noah seems like someone who would def want a family tho, but i dont know about finn for some reason.

the idea of chloe being a traditional surrogate (using her own egg) is absolutely wild to me and i can't even imagine the emotional complications let alone the legal ones. its not even legal in some states. i can see what anon meant but if you think about it, its kind of odd... it would be noah's child AND niece or nephew, chloe would have to ensure she doesnt emotionally attach to the child enough so that she can both give it up AND continue to see it and be close to it for the rest of it's life? pretending she's just the aunt and not the mom lol? i doubt noah would ask that of her

if anything she could be a carrier of a third party's egg plus noah's sperm (but even that is a bit... weird. and giving that friends situation where phoebe carries her brothers kids lmao) ugh this has all got a bit too literal hahahah

why do you not think you'd be a good dad vinny? if you want to answer x

Thank you for the insight! I have to admit, this isn't really a subject that I've ever given much genuine thought towards so every ask is interesting, just because I'm kind of naive about it all. Won't even begin to pretend to understand all that would take in regards to the relationship between bio mother and child, surrogacy, all that. I know it happens in society but my mind can't quite wrap around the subject outside of television! There's always adoption, too, since a child does not need to specifically contain your DNA to be your kid. I am really supportive and happy of course about the continued strides and opportunities for same sex couples. Complicated, as any other family situation, but with so many additional hurdles though, that much I know to be true. It's just not one I've put too much general research or have practical knowledge about since it's not really in my future.

(Hahaha I think my only extensive experience with the subject is genuinely as you referenced with Phoebe and that's a wacky sitcom so unsure how realistic of a situation it is, or maybe the occasional romcom or comedy with the subject. So we see where my knowledge base resides haha)

Last question in your ask:

I'll keep it simple since you asked. I don't think I have it in me to be that sort of caretaker, to be a father. No parental instinct. Lack the temperament for it. I'm totally devoted to my partner, and want to grow old with him for all of life's journey and everything that entails - but I know I just couldn't be a dad. Some of it is mental health reasons, too, keeping that answer simple as well.

Believe me, I didn't want to run into incompatible future visions, covered all bases. I've had relationships where it was clear the guy had zero interest in the concept of marriage so... yeah. And that was something important to me (and here I am!!! 😁) but I really don't want to raise kids. We love being uncles!! That's quite enough.

I cannot envision making that sort of massive life and dynamic change and you can't take it back. If you're not passionate about becoming a parent and have the opportunity to evaluate and recognize that - well, I consider it responsible to not just check off a box on society's expected life path, even in regards to society not really expecting it of someone like me anyway. It's nice to know that there are instances for people like me to make it a reality - but I'm not taking it.

My son is a cat!!!

[orionsangel86]

I see where your coming from here because its true that sex dreams absolutely dont get a reaction from him at all. The comics feature sex dreams quite often and there is even a part where he casually walks through an entire section of the Dreaming devoted to sex dreams and he's just like "dont mind me just doing my rounds". Sex dreams are common and normal and as you say "like a trip to the grocery store" for him.

But whats not quite true is that he would treat sex dreams about him with the same total nonchalance and lack of reaction. Sex dreams about Dream are not common place because most dreamers don't even notice him or know he exists other than on a deeply subconscious level. We have two examples in the comic of where its hinted that someone who knows him could possibly be dreaming about him in a sexy way.

The first is Thessaly. Their relationship started because she dreamed of him after their meeting in a Game of You. We dont know much about the details, other than that he was surprised that she dreamed of him and curious about it to the point that he started courting her. Its not mentioned if the dream was a sex dream or just a regular dream but whatever it was it was enough to catch his attention and start a relationship.

The only other time is the sexual undertones in Lady Basts dream meeting. It is a dream he makes especially for her and I think the sexual undertones of the meeting could imply she's dreamed of him that way before and he's aware of it. She teases him and asks him to "be her Tom" which takes him aback before she sooths his awkwardness and dismisses it as a joke. But she also asks why they were never lovers to which he replies "she knows him too well for that".

The problem with Dream is that he is rather desperately pining for a romantic partner. His failure of a love life is an ongoing theme throughout the comics. He wants love. He wants a companion. He is desperately lonely. If someone were to start having sex dreams about him I think it would get his attention. Do I think he'd be awkward and embarassed? Nope. Nor do I think he'd immediately join in and take over from his dream self (because that would be a bit rapey in all honesty). But I do think he would be flattered and curious about it.

The only other example I can think of is which maybe goes against this is Nuala. Nuala lives in the palace with Dream and is hopelessly in love with him. He doesn't notice at all. I presume Nuala still sleeps and dreams whilst she is a resident of his castle, but if she ever has sexy dreams about him he clearly either doesnt know or doesn't care. When she finally reveals her feeling for him, he offers her "a dream of him" which implies him giving her a dream lover in his form and all that would entail. Its treated in my opinion as a pretty big deal for him to offer such a thing though she rejects it because of course it wouldn't actually BE him.

All this to say, if someone who knows Dream has a sex dream about him, IF he were to notice at all, he would have a reaction. He'd be flattered and possibly quite shy. Not awkward, but curious to know if the dream had any deeper meaning, if the dream meant the dreamer actually had deeper feelings for him that he could pursue... if he was interested of course.

Then again basing any meta on Dream around his state of mind when he started courting Thessaly or when he visited Lady Bast is a huge shot in the dark since he was already on a journey of total self destruction at those points. So I think the honest answer is we don't really know his reaction. But I still dont think it would be nothing.

so much sandman fic has people having sexy dreams about dream and this being either horrifyingly awkward or gorgeously erotic but realistically this happens all the time and dream would just react like he ran into them in the grocery aisle

[ed89]

analysing the fuck out of byler rn (this took like 3 hours and also was done on google docs sorry for the random ass punctuation and grammar inconsistencies)

first we are gonna touch on the Byer’s phone line always being used so Mike only gets to call Will sometimes. But from what Dustin said, Mike was complaining about it constantly. We also know that Mike and El spoke through letters and the radio because of the government listening in on phone calls (and El is supposed to be dead). So Mike and Will’s primary way to communicate is via phone calls, but Mike was unable to reach Will most of the time.

Let’s just hammer in this very important piece of the puzzle: Will believes Mike is deeply in love with El.

Will thinks Mike is not calling and ignoring him because he’s more focused on El. He believes Mike just doesn’t care about their friendship anymore. However, because of this, Will also didn’t try calling Mike. This creates distance and tension between the two, but they also are completely unaware of the actual issue at hand...

...thats a mega miscommunication moment. Now it’s also Mike who thinks Will is ignoring him. The difference is, Will doesnt have a significant other to be focused on. Mike just thinks Will is ignoring him or pushing him away (Will mentions “el” (he’s talking about his own actions but under the guise of El) pushing mike away in the van scene. But i’ll talk about this in the van scene part). This makes Mike act passive aggressive. Not only does he ignore Will at Rink o Mania, he picks a fight with him too

When Will says “Oh no” when El is with Angela, Mike immediately stands up beside him. He has no idea that angela is picking on el. The reason he stands up SO QUICKLY is because hes alone with Will and Will said something. Look at mikes face after will says ‘oh no’. Like……… ??????

The rink o mania fight (going to tie this to the van scene)

“You should have told me she was having trouble”

“I didnt know she was lying to you.” 

Being a douche and ruining an entire day out apparently entails “rolling your eyes, moping and barely talking”. Not the fact his gf just got publicly harassed and is now unable to be found. Mike is focused on Will, the guy he was “ignoring” all day. He had his attention on Will the entire time instead of El. HE NOTICED HIM ROLL HIS EYES???? BRUH

“Shes being lying to you all day” “i feel like a total third wheel”

“What about us?” Will does not mean this romantically. He thinks Mike is in love with El. He has absolutely zero idea that Mike likes him back.

Mike, however, takes this romantically. We can see it in his face, the soft expression even though they were just fighting.

“We’re friends! We’re friends.”

“We used to be best friends”

Which is true. These two were inseparable

“Maybe you should have reached out more, i dont know. Why is this on me? Why am i the bad guy?” this line hurts because he isn’t the bad guy. He’s having his own issues and he also thought Will was ignoring him out of spite

Now, the first bit tells Will that Mike wanted Will to reach out more, but Will still isnt aware that Mike was trying to call him. A lot.

OKAY mike and el fight now

Mike made her eggos. He sits on her bed (parallels with that byler scene in dear billy).

“So, um, are we just gonna not talk about it?” he says this kinda rudely tbh

Mike doesnt understand why El is lying to him

El says shes different and does not belong

Also this whole fight scene??? Hes so insincere. He doesnt know how to comfort her. He also cant take the blame or admit that he doesnt love her. “I care for you.” Hes not trying to be malicious, hes just stupid

“You dont love me anymore?”

“Who said that I didnt?” YOU DID MICHAEL

“You never say it”

“I say it” NO THE FUCK YOU DONT BRO???

“You’re being ridiculous” no shes not

“You’re the most incredible person in the world” He cant say that she’s a woman. I dont think he ever has

“You cant let these mouthbreathers ruin you, ruin us” im guessing hes talking about the bullies, but… um, they didnt cause any of this. How is that related to being able to tell your gf that you love her. Bruh??? Explain??

“You’re a superhero” she hates that. And he says it again in the monologue. She doesn’t like being called that

Ok on to dear billy

“If you keep staring at that, it’s not going to change”

Mike CRUMPLES the letter and throws it IN THE TRASH. Yeah so…..they arent coming back from that fight. Im pretty sure at this point on, mike fully believes that him and el are over and the next time he sees her, they are going to break up. This is important, as it explains some of mike’s actions and words later on

Will sits next to him. Mike has a gay panic

“Me and el had a bad fight. This one felt adult. Felt more real. Like its a fight you cant come back from (a break up). Maybe i should have said something. Maybe if i had said that thing (i love you), she would want me there with her”

“We’re going to find her, and whatever you didnt say, you can say it to her then”

Mike is still having a gay moment. Bro is mesmerized. Now here comes the flirty part

“Shes going to be ok. Shes not in hawkins, thats what we should be worried about”

“You dont trust owens?”

“That was you guys who saved me. You guys.” AND MIKE LOOKS SO SMUGGGG ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!@?@#!@!&#@ even will’s reaction is sus. They are gay

“Look like its going to be up to us again” hes not looking at will here. I also think hes flirting here too. He looks back once will replies,

“It always is, isnt it?” and then michael has that big ass grin after a little chuckle. Homosexual

In will’s eyes, this is him fixing mike and el’s relationship. He doesnt know the real reason why they were fighting. To him, the words “i love you” are just “something mike didnt say to her during the fight”. Perhaps he just thinks its an apology that mike needs to say

But he didnt fix their relationship, because the issue is much bigger than some random thing Mike didnt say. Because its not a random thing. Hes not in love with her. Will thinks Mike is in love with her, and Mike still thinks him and el are probably going to breakup

NEXT BYLER SCENE!!!!

may i mention and yes ive already said this on tumblr but mike thinks his relationship with el is pretty much over. and then he goes and starts flirting with will… gay!

Mike enters. He closes the door behind him this time. Probably because he starts FLIRTING RIGHT OFF THE BAT

He checks out will and licks his lips like ok 

“Thanks, by the way. (“for what?”) For knocking some sense into me, i mean, i was being a total self pitying idiot”

Self-pity: ���When you feel sorry for yourself, or overly sad about the difficulties you face’. His self-pitying was being ignored by Will and acting like it was the end of the world

“I didnt say it” SLY SMIRK

“You didnt have to” FLIRTING!!!!! WILL BLUSHES AND TURNS AWAY

Then mike is like ‘ok stop flirting go back to what u originally wanted to say’ and he shakes his head and talks in a different tone…

“About the last two days..” the airport scene, ignoring will at rink o mania and fighting with him, and then mike staring at the letter in the last byler scene.

“You dont have to say anything. I was being a total jerk to El, i deserved it”

“No, no, you didnt deserve anything.” mike is saying will didnt deserve to be ignored and yelled at by mike. Mike knows hes in the wrong, but he couldnt admit he was in the wrong when he was fighting with el? okay!

Now Mike has Will’s attention,

“It’s hawkins. It’s not the same without you. And I feel like maybe I was worrying too much about El and.. i dont know, maybe i feel like i lost you or something. Does that make sense?”

In the script, it tells us that it makes total sense to will. He feels the exact same way that Mike does. Mike feels the exact same way that Will does, and we know that Will loves Mike. do u see where im getting at

“I have no idea whats going to happen next” hes either talking about his relationship with El or the actual events occurring (the upside down, reaching el, etc)

Mike and Will lock eyes

Mike is trying to fix what had been damaged since they were separated a year ago. He wants them to work as a team, and be best friends again, since they had been accidently avoiding one another

Ah… episode 5. The on top of the car scene where they are literally talking about confessing to each other. No, they arent actually just talking about argyle and the agent dude not saying the number. Mike is talking about the fight with el again, saying he should have explained himself, and then maybe El would have taken him with her and things would be different, but he didn’t know what to say.

He did know what to say. “I love you”. But he didnt, because he doesnt love her

Then Will starts talking about confessing feelings, “Sometimes I think its just scary to open up like that, to say how you really feel. Especially to the people you care about the most.”

The camera is on Mike now. His expression is soft and hes watching Will intently

“What if they dont like the truth?” Mike looks down and nods. Ah, the truth. And whats the truth? That Mike doesn’t love El. Hes too scared to tell her the truth. Maybe hes too scared to admit the truth to himself, too

Their moment is seized by argyle speaking

Every moment from here to ep 8 isnt any deep or intimate conversations so ill ignore them

AND NOW

THE VAN SCENE. Which is exactly why i rewatched every other scene so i could link them to whats being said. Here goes

Will brings up El and going to Vegas with her to use her powers to win money. He’s also saying it excitedly, which is mentioned in the script. This is when hes being lit with sunlight like a disco ball, and when Mike is looking at him like hes the most beautiful boy hes ever seen

Then Will mentions playing D&D and Nintendo for the rest of their lives. A direct callback to their fight in s3 that hasnt been brought up SINCE it happened. Makes sense for them to finally mention it

But thats why Mike’s mood changes. The motive behind the vibe change is the fight being brought up. Will thinks it's because he was being childish and made it awkward, and he also thinks it's because of El (which is why he starts talking about her again, but more on that in a bit).

Will believes Mike loves El. Mike and Will’s fight was because of Mike spending too much time with El and ignoring Will and the rest of the party (because Mike was trying to get rid of his gay thoughts). Mike is the one who brings up playing games together for the rest of their lives. And then Will, always having loved Mike, says “Yeah. I guess I did.” ouch

Will isnt going to think Mike is upset because of the garage fight. But of course Mike is upset about it, because Mike is gay too. Mike regrets the fight. he regretted it WHEN the fight happened!! 

So will brings up el again because he must be upset about el, right? 

“We’re gonna make it, mike. Shes going to be okay”

[nervously] “Yeah, i know. I know she is.” He wasn’t worrying about El being in trouble, which is what will thinks the issue is

[contemplatively] “but what if after all this is over, she doesn’t need me anymore?” 

We’ve been over this before.

Will is always trying to fix his and El’s relationship. Why would they break up if they are both in love? In jonathan’s bedroom, he tried fixing their relationship: “Whatever you didnt say then, you can say after we save her.” but its not that easy, because Mike literally cannot say “i love you”, and he definitely can’t say it in a genuine way, either

So yes. They have been over this before, and will can’t seem to understand why Mike needs to keep talking about it because ‘isnt it just something you want to say to her?’

Mike’s rant is pretty just him saying that him and el are going to breakup because they didn’t meet because of ‘fate’ or ‘destiny’ and theres no greater reason for them to stay together or be in love. No higher power has told them to be in love. Hes just some nerd that got lucky that superman came to his aid when he lost Will.

his rant, at its core, is mike trying to convince will that him and el arent working out, and that mike might not love her anymore, or maybe never did. he wants will to agree with him, but he doesn't, because will thinks mike loves el. hes not going to try and sabotage their relationship because he respects them both

also mike is sus af for regarding himself as lois lane (a woman) and his GIRLFRIEND as superman (A MAN)

Will doesn’t get what Mike is saying. He doesn’t understand what the issue is because he wouldn't think Mike doesn't love El. i mean, mike hasn't actually shown any disinterest in El to other characters. we only know hes queer because we see private moments between el and mike and how not in love he acts and how IN LOVE he acts with will. mike is TRYING to admit he doesn't love el but will misunderstands completely

Mike sees Will’s reaction and immediately apologises

Then we have “You’re scared of losing her.” i think we should all know by now that its MIKE who was talking about losing will in the dear billy scene. And ive always thought that in this part, when will said that, mike wasn’t thinking of el. He was thinking of will. The way they are looking at each other here… why would they both react like that when will is talking about mike’s girlfriend? Perhaps its because MIKE ISNT THINKING ABOUT EL

They lock eyes. A BEAT; then: Mike nods

he’s scared of losing Will. but he goes along with what will is saying, because hes too scared to actually continue with the confession he was originally going to make. He wasnt expecting will to say that, was he? He must have had more to say, but then will changed the subject

When Will lies about the painting, not only is it the first time he ever lies to mike, but it creates that miscommunication again. They dont understand what the other is saying

(Will tries to get what Mike is saying) and (Now its Mike who doesn’t get it)

These ones are the killers. We know exactly what Will is talking about during his confession. He’s confessing his feelings under the guise of El. Mike doesn’t get that Will is talking about himself!

But if Will didnt get what mike was trying to say then mike wasn't actually "scared of losing her", bringing me back to my point about his rant: He was trying to admit he didn’t love El and he was under the impression that he was going to inevitably break up with her. They aren’t meant for each other, they aren’t fate or destiny.

Mike doesn’t get it, though. He really does believe Will is talking about El’s feelings. I mean, that is what will was trying to do, anyway; fix mike and el’s relationship. but mike is in love with will, and mike feels the exact same way that will does (Mike also feels different, hes been ostracized and bullied, he’s scared of losing will), so it makes sense that Will's speech gives Mike the desire to try and salvage his relationship with El. Mike doesnt fully comprehend his falling out of love with El, obviously. His attempt to fix everything with a shitty monologue backfires when it fails miserably. His monologue wasnt genuine because he doesnt love her. Will gave Mike his feelings, not El’s. and mike and will are soulmates , so yes, hes going to think that the relationship advice is going to solve everything, and will even brought up points mike didnt think about! and now hes like damn ok will doesn't like me and maybe i could make it work with el

ok now im just ranting sorry

ive also forgot to touch on something i mentioned before so ill add it now. in the coded confession, will says "if she was mean to you, or she seemed like she was pushing you away-". im sure its obvious but el HASNT been pushing mike away. mike may have picked up on this and thought 'wait, something is off' because he kinda did have that expression?? but alas his thoughts were Stolen so idk. but mike felt like will was pushing him away, did he not? they both felt like the other was pushing away and creating distance. that's why mike regarded himself as a "self-pitying idiot" because he was feeling sorry for himself because will was ignoring him. so yes, its possible mike picked up on this, because el wasn't pushing mike away, but mike thought will was pushing him away. not sure if that means anything but i wanted to bring it up

anyway. here are my final points

Will fully believes Mike loves El

Mike thinks he's just some nerd that got lucky that superman came to his aid when he lost Will

Mike is scared of losing Will

They both feel the exact same way toward each other

Mike didn’t get that Will wasn’t talking about El during his coded confession

Will didn’t get that Mike wasn’t talking about losing El during his weird, coded rant

The date is September 13th. The time is 3:08 pm

This morning i woke up at 6:35 am and the door was open. I didnt bring it up with Niki, i think she dropped a pile of clothes on my bed. There was a pile of clothes there but I dont remeber if i put it there. I drank my customary cup of chi tea and Niki made me some sort of egg sandwich. I dont think it sat very well with my stomach. Im not going to bring it up though. I dont see her this happy usually. Maybe she’s had some sort of case crack. I dont ask her things about her work anymore.

I forgot my lunch, only remembered half way through the pass when i checked last nights blog. I didnt tell Niki, she was talking about her new favorite TV show. I dont remember what it was, i dont watch a lot of TV, especially with how hard it is to get any signal at home. It’s okay, I want to support her the best that i can.

When i got to school it became the usual waiting game. Latin, Math, History the usual trash heap. And then Academic coaching until lunch, all of which i spent in the library. Helping with yesterday’s shipment of books. Karl wasnt there but i checked in on my hours and i have close to 30 now. Adding on another 3 today to make it a total of 33 hours was nice. Two of the same number. Its nice.

After lunch at 11:23 I went to english. One of the better classes. I think i do well even if the teacher doesnt have enough space in her brain for another quiet student. I am good at english. I dont have anything due in that class. I began to organize. Something that helps me focus. Flipping through my notebook and folder nothing was out of place and so i began to sort my phone tabs.

Curiously, after flipping most closed, I found that my camera was open. I quickly flipped it away from my face. Embarrassing i know. I began to sift through my camera roll. It’s something i do a lot. When i dont have anything better to do which is most days. Besides. This blog was made for me to talk about my photos. So maybe you will be interested in the strange photo i found.

The time stamp was last night, late. 1:00 AM to be exact. The witching hour. So ironic.

I am extremely worried about what this entails. I dont remeber taking this photo. I dont remember leaving my house last night. I wonder if it will be okay for Niki to lock the door more firmly.

It was fine though. English was over and i left, heading back to the library for another free period. I have almost all of my credits, and even though its scary I think i could graduate early. Maybe i could finally leave this town. Anyway i was in the library until school ended. At 2:45. I walked down the street again, taking the same route as the day before and ending at the station again.

Niki told me to wait in the receptionist room because she didnt want me in her office. Im okay with sitting on my phone. I like listening to music and sitting by myself in a loud room of strangers. Anyway, thats the dairy for today. I am free for anything, if any of the few people who are interested in me want to talk.

The time is now 3:14

Single in Staten Island: Tattoos & Kisses

Author’s Note: This is a three-part series I am going to do on Pete!! I am going to use the prompts I got in the second part! I talked with a friend about him—he does truly deserve a good girl or someone who won’t fuck him over. Taglist is here! Reqs are open, but I’m slow, no lie.

Warnings: None, just language.- Smut in the following parts.

Pairings:Pete Davidson x Reader

Masterlist

“What’s your order?” The chipper attitude they were supposed to have had left the day you turned in your two-week notice. This coffee shop had been the bain of your assistance. Fuck this place. Fuck these people and fuck their fancy, overdone ass orders. You leaned on the counter, giving the man in front of you a stern look.

He looked around. Clearly, you didn’t have an attitude with him. He’d just walked in the fucking place. “Uhm—,” his eyes found the menu, but there was an aloofness in him that triggered you.

“You’ve been in line ten minutes, and you don’t know what you want?”

“Yep.” He nodded and shot a smile. “Ten whole minutes. Still a fuck up.” His finger tapped on the counter, and he looked up at the menu. Nothing here looked worth seven dollars, especially not a coffee. “What’s good here?”

“Look, I don’t know. ”You sighed. “I’m about to go lunch, and you’re the last order.” You flourished the lack of customers behind him.

“You from around here?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“Your attitude is pretty fucked up; I figured you lived up the block.” He took a pregnant pause and chuckled. “An Everything Bagel, jalapeño cream cheese, and a grande black coffee.”

“What’s the name?”

“Pete.”

“Spell that.”

“You can’t spell Pete?”

“You from around here?” You quipped.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah, I figured your name is probably spelled all fucked up and shit.”

He laughed, which was not what you expected; you just knew this was the gasoline added to a shitty fire. “What’s your name?”

“Y/N.”

“Kinda weird.” He shrugged. “You wanna go somewhere better than this on your lunch break?”

“Unless you have a gram and a beer, no.”

“I have a gram and some black coffee if the barista doesnt quit before she puts my order in.”

You snickered. “That’ll do. Where are we going?”

“Anywhere but fucking Staten Island.”

 The ferry. It hadn’t been in the plans, but you were happy you said yes to the lean stranger. He leaned against the railing, a cigarette in one hand a flask in the other. It wasn’t precisely beer, but you had no complaints. “You want a sip?”

“Sure,” You took the flask without hesitation and chugged down three gulps before passing it back to him. It was gin, dry grade A gin. “That’s the kind of shit you bring on a ferry?”

“I thought I grabbed my tequila, but I must’ve drunk it all.”

“Drunk at 2pm on a Tuesday?”

“I’m not drunk; I’m enjoying a drink. Judge much?”

You shrugged and turned, resting your back on the railing beside him, feeling the cool breeze run through your hair. “So why did you invite me out here?’

“You looked like you needed saving, and I’ve been there. Shitty job with shitty people.” He flicked his cigarette ashes into the water below him. “Plus, you cussed me out on the job, which means your kinda badass.”

“I like to think I am.” You admit and nod your head. “You ever get tired of doing the same old shit?”

“yep, that’s why I get tatted.”

Then you noticed the tattoos spackled across his body in random places, and they were once more in a random fashion. Yet, you liked them; they matched him, odd and somehow insanely attractive. “Pete, I want a tattoo. Take me to your guy.”

“What do you mean to take me to my guy? Does it look like I have a guy?” Pete laughs. “I’m like a god damn coloring book; let’s find the first shop and just do it. I pick yours… you pick mine. Stranger tats.”

“Why not?”

“Your boyfriend won’t appear and try to beat my ass?”

“Unless you’re imaginary, too, I think you’re good.”

‘Fucking Brickhouse like you, single in Staten Island?”

“Single in Staten island is not a rarity.”

“Well, you’re not wrong. It’s the only way to be.” He said with a bit of sarcasm.

 The conversation was random the entire ferry trip; you made wisecracks and rebutted, flirting with you but keeping his distance. “Tell me three weird facts about yourself.” You twiddled with your fingers and looked up to meet his brown eyes. “I’m sure you have more than three, but spare me the rest.”

“I like to be alone.” Pete looked back. “But I love a good party, but when I go, I hang out alone and watch people. People are interesting as fuck.”

“I find them to be boring.”

“That’s because you’re not looking for the right things.” He pointed to the woman about fifty feet away from the two of you. The older lady sat tired, sunglasses covered her face while the gray hair blew wild in the wind. “See Gladys there; she’s about to go home to a man she’s been with for thirty-five years. The best dick she ever had.”

Your face radiated with heat as you suppressed a chuckle. “Has to be to stay with it thirty-five years.”

“You haven’t had someone dick you down that makes you want to stay thirty-five years?”

“Not even make me want to stay a week,” You answered.

“That’s fucked up.” Pete smiled.

“That’s life, Pete. Unfortunately, people don’t always get good dick like Gladys.”

“Yeah, lucky bitch.” His phone rang, and he shifted, digging in his light denim jeans to retrieve his iPhone and answer the call. “It’s Pete.”

You turned, giving him some privacy and taking it all in. You didn’t plan to return to work, fuck that place and everything it entailed. You started a new job in three days; you’d take these three days to not give a fuck. That feeling started today; it started with your new friend Pete and this tattoo. The call ended after a few minutes; he didn’t talk about much, just a conversation with a friend and plans he had for a party later tonight.

“The shop is about five blocks from where we get off. Have you decided what I’m getting?”

“I want to see the designs first; I want it to be memorable.”

“Make it your number.”

“Is that your coded way in asking for it?”

“Not coded, I swear.” Pete leaned closer to you. “I kinda think if we are gonna get stranger tattoos, we should have each other’s number.’

“We won’t be strangers then.”

“Call them something else then.”

“I’ll let you know if you can have this number later… I haven't got an invite to this party yet.”

“You're totally invited.” Pete tossed his hands up. “Give me three digits.”

“847.” You snickered.

“Good, I guess I can work for the next seven.”

 The shop was grimy, with dark walls and low lights. The smell of weed and liquor hit your nose, and you felt at home for some reason. Your legs ached; the walking didn’t bother you usually but pairing it with walking didn’t do much good for you. You sat in the chair across from Pete. “Don’t make this a dumb tattoo.”

“You’re talking to the king of dumb shit.” He pointed to the small elephant; it wasn’t dumb, though. It had a feminine line design, and it was petite, adorable even. “I’m sparing you today. You’re getting this,” He smiled. “An elephant, not dumbo but a distant hot cousin.”

“I like it.”

“Good.” His smile was sincere. “I hoped you would. When is she up?” He asked the artist.

“I can get her now.” He answered as he started to sketch the elephant onto the transfer paper. “Hop up, sweet cheeks, and it’ll be about ten minutes.”

Pete extended his hand like a gentleman and led you to the red leather chair. ‘Ever had one before?”

“I have three.” You admitted.

“I see none.” He looked you over quizzically. “Not a one.”

“They are hidden….” You answered, choosing not to tell him they were down your chest and down your thigh.

“Secret tattoos. I like it. I can dig it.”

“Sure. Where is this party tonight?” You asked.

“Back in Staten Island.”

‘Can I trust you, Pete?”

“I hope so; I feel trustworthy?”

“You answered that like you didn't know the answer.” You shifted in the seat and pulled your shirt over your head. You revealed the tattoo of the moon phases going down your chest. “Just because you can't see something does not mean it isn’t there.”

“They're fucking awesome, like the person they are on.”

“You only think I’m awesome because you don’t know me.”

“I know enough.”

It was not like you to kiss a stranger because instead, you wanted to admit it or not, Pete was a stranger to you; you didn’t care. You leaned forward and pressed your lips to his, and he responded immediately, kissing you back eagerly. His lips were soft, full, and applying just the perfect amount of pressure to yours.

“You two want to fuck or get this tattoo.”

You exhaled, pulling away from him. “Can we do both?”

Hi I'm the anon from before! I wanted to know when/if you knew that you were going to convert for sure basically. I've been contemplating this for like two years and in preparation for a choice(so to speak, I'm still not sure) I have been doing a ton of personal religious deconstruction. I just don't know if I've done enough or if I want to do this for the right reasons.

So basically, when did you know for sure? And how did you get to that point?

I was also concerned if I was converting "for the right reasons" and if I had too much baggage left over from Mormonism and eventually I just went. Screw it. I'm going to do it and the rabbis will let me know if I'm converting for the wrong reasons. I explicitly told my rabbi one of the reasons I wanted to convert was to repair my relationship with God. And frankly Judaism has been a shield against the worst of my Christianity-based PTSD triggers. Which doesnt sound very spiritual and holy or whatever but I have always been a bit of a pragmatist so. My conversion with this baggage and the reasoning behind conversion ended up being filtered through literally 5 different rabbis who were like "yeah your reasoning is totally fine" and only one of whom straight up said she wouldn't convert me (for Israel/Palestine reasons, not for religious baggage reasons).

So I kind of had a breakdown before senior year of college started wrt religion and how my relationship with God was just so damaged and I had friends in college who were Jews that I admired. I asked if I could tag along to shabbat services with them. The Saturday after my first time at the campus Hillel we had contemplative services which were very spiritually meaningful for me and I just kept going to services every week. I started to live a Jewish life (this mostly entailed figuring out what kosher meant for me) and I eventually got to the point where I couldn't imagine my future without Judaism. The pandemic sent us home the spring of my senior year and I didn't have a Jewish community in my life anymore. I was miserable for a few months and joined the local synagogue in the summer as a prospective convert. I studied Judaism under 2 different rabbis for over a year at that point and then in October of 2021 I had a successful beit din and converted.

I had a couple of conviction-shaking times where like. At my lowest of lows when I was rejected at my first beit din (again because I'm pro-Palestine lmao) I was considering just. Not even going through with it. That feeling passed after a couple weeks and my second beit din was fine. I felt like I had some Jewish impostor syndrome for maybe a month after my conversion but like. I've been a Jew for over a year now. It's just my life. It's how it's been. My Judaism might be different from some other people's but now my Judaism is completely inseparable from who I am as a person. I am a Jew. That's all there is to it. Idk If that answers your question but you can always ask more

hiii! do u think u could do the dating hcs for yumeko and ririka too? thanks 🥺🥺

a/n: of course I can! sorry this is a little late, seems like I struggled a bit with yumeko hehe, enjoy!

warnings: kakegurui level beat once again, because yumeko is here this once will be more spicy but nothing explicit! just mentions of her enjoying ur gambling in a very yumeko way

DATING YUMEKO

•shes,,,a sweetheart?

•there are times u truly can’t tell what she is

•but she is nice to you, more physically and emotionally. I couldn’t ever see her being the type to spoil her s/o

•she’s rlly loving towards you, sweet and kind and will always have her arms wrapped around you

•she loves clinging to your arms, especially if you’re taller than her

•the best thing is watching you gambling, she could never imagine getting this much excitement from watching someone else gamble, something about seeing her darling gritting their teeth and narrowing their eyes is just mwah

•honestly shes kinda scary

•she really likes putting you out there, and gets upset if you don’t wanna gamble

•she’ll push you to the brink for sure, theres no way ur gonna date Yumeko without risk.

•she absolutely adores seeing you break a sweat

•her eyes will flash and jolts of adrenaline flash over her body from seeing you panic

•she’s honestly the type to coddle you and say you’re pretty when you cry

•the issue with Yumeko is that she won’t understand your emotions, while she is one of the nicer characters, she is not passive. Yumeko’s not a docile creature.

•she wants risk, you’re going to give it to her.

•honestly she’ll even push you to gamble against her, raising the stakes higher and higher till you’re both seeing stars from the intensity of the situation.

•Yumeko could care less about how people treat her, you on the other hand probably do not want to be humiliated and ruined.

•she just won’t get that

•but! other than that, she’s lovely

•she’s so charismatic and she has a fat pocket so she can totally buy you anything

•she doesn’t really like when you ask for things though hehe

•she honestly loves smoothing out your uniform, something about fixing the buttons or smoothing your bottom out is so calming

•she loves giving you thousands of cheek kisses till her lips hurt!

•she sits you on her lap constantly, or she’ll snake her arms around your waist and pick you up

•she’s oddly strongly than she looks

•if you’re the more careful type, she’ll think it’s adorable to watch you chide her about gambling

•her heart did a flip seeing you caress her face after playing with Midari

•she loves being cared for <333

•physical affection is one of her strongest receiving love languages, but her giving is probably words of affirmation

•she’s amazing at compliments, always knowing how to make you blush

•we know she’s rlly good at comforting/convincing people, so she’s oddly a relaxing presence

•plays with your hairs and tells you how soft it is

•loves loves loves making you flustered

•she’ll pick up ur chin and force you to meet her eyes, smirking at your reaction

•honestly Yumeko is very,,,she’s just such an interesting character and I feel like dating her will entail a lot of adventures

•midari doesnt rlly like you, but a lot of other people do!!

•honestly yumeko’s reputation is so wildly mixed, some seeing her as a freak and others adoring her, some fearing her.

•your reputation is going to be rumors mixed with curiosity, especially from the student council

•I havent even mentioned if you like gambling omg get it together Chrissy!!

•okay, it you like gambling, you’re in for a treat

•seeing you two gamble together is so wild, there’s a really intimate connection between the two of you. Both of your hands moving smoothly across the table, the way you meet eyes and smile even if you don’t know each other’s chances, the way both of you squeeze each other’s hands, the sheer feeling of being pushed to the very edge of a cliff sending both of you spiraling into madness.

•it’s...a sight

•you both are very comfortable with each other, and I know Yumeko would be ur number one hype man if you didn’t like your body

•she’ll never be upset with you unless you do something really stupid.

•I can never see her in a position to argue with her s/o, I can’t imagine Yumeko raising her voice on you unless she’s in a heated moment

•anyways, on the gf scale? in comparison to the other girls ive written for, she’s a 8/10 because she seems less toxic

•TLDR: yumeko love gamble second, s/o third, and gambling with s/o first

see dating ririka here -> ririka hcs

speaking as a relatively recent college graduate with other friends who are also college graduates, unless you have a plan for a career once you finish Id say its not worth it. I have a lot of friends who have ended up working retail in bullshit positions with a degree. so it might be better to just cut out the middleman and avoid the moneysink. also you should check out yearup, they give you a stipend for going to school

no i totally get where youre coming from i work with a girl literally in my retail job with a criminal justice degree which is what im going for and shes still like. what did that do for me. the only reason im doing it really is bc it pays my rent which is a huge weight off of my shoulders and i just feel like im finally doing something with my life. i do think college is kinda bullshit but it makes me feel like im bettering myself. in an ideal world i would like to become an advocate for “criminals” outside of the violent spectrum… and i dont exactly know ehat that entails. i just want to make my family proud but at the same time i totally understand your quasi pessimistic approach. its affordable at least since im not on campus or anything but i appreciate the imput. im gonna try my hardest even if it doesnt lead me anywhere but its super easy just from the forst week (i fully expect it to get harder) but it makes me happy that i can prove to myself i can do this even after like. 3 failed attempts

❤😍💝💖💗💓💞❤💟💛💚🖤💜💙💓❣💕💗💖💓💝💞❤💟💛💚🖤💜Hello lovely! I know you already have a lot of asks, but my school just had this dance (really great btw) and I was wondering how Baku-Kiri-Todo-Deku (separate) would be like at a school dance with there fem! Partner? Like their partner doesn't go to U.A. so it's a dance from a different school. Not prom or anything just a normal dance. Oh and HCS please! They're my favorite. Have a great day!❤😍💝💖💗💓💞❤💟💛💚🖤💜💙💓❣💕💗💖💓💝💞❤💟💛💚🖤💜

You too babe 💜💜💜

Bakugou

Honestly he didnt really wanna go to the dance, but he wanted to spend time with you

And he wanted all those damn extras to see you had a boyfriend that can can and will kill them if they bothered you

So he went

His mom totally tried to make him wear some fancy suit and tried to make him do his hair but he ran away before she could gel it down

Hes like mom it's not even prom it ain't that deep - but settled for wearing a button up with a vest

Him giving you awkward little compliments all night, cause wow you look so pretty in your casual dress

If your friends wanna hang out with you that's too bad you're staying with him and only him all night

Even tho you manage to show your cute boyfriend off to a few of your friends

Probably wants to just stand by the food for the whole night, he feels awkward and doesnt wanna say it so hed rather just be that person who 'came for the food'

He probably gets a bit too handsy during the slow dances- hes not one for them but why not when hes with you, but he might as well have a bit of fun with it

Todoroki

The fanciest mf there honestly

Cause like hes not too sure what a 'casual dance' entails, so he wore a nice suit and everything

Honestly you got girls you barely know coming up and talking to you and you're like bitch get away from my man

But shouto doesnt care hes here to see his princess

Hes giving you so many compliments

Your hair, your makeup, your outfit, you in general

Hes gonna be all romantic during the slow dances like wow hes got his hand on your waist and hes spinning you all over the place and again you're like 'sir plz calm down'

But he relaxes more as the night goes on

He let's you drag him around to meet your friends

Hes gonna want to stay outside for a good portion of it, hell get a bit overwhelmed by all the people and honestly he just wants to spend some alone time with you

He wants to go to more dances after this, even though the big crowd really isnt his scene, he finds it fun, especially with you

Kirishima

bRO HES SO EXCITED

He gets to meet all your friends and party down with you, even if it is a school dance

The only one of these 4 who dresses appropriately, just wearing a button up short sleeve and jeans

He sees you and he does that cute thing where he picks you up and spins you around a bit

Lowkey you're gonna be that couple that just makes out in the corner of the room until a teacher yells at you

But hes having fun dancing with you and your friends, you're all just laughing and joking the whole time

He likes it cause he gets to feel like a teenager and not a soon to be hero, so overall it's a really good night for him

Really clumsy slow dance though, where you two are just snickering and trying to be quiet to not ruin it for everyone else but like it's so funny to you both

It was so much fun that Eiji wants to go again - catch you two being the dumbest couple at prom

Midoriya

Hes so nervous about it, like he doesnt wanna look dumb in front of you and and your friends

His mom also makes him wear a nice suit and do his hair, and he let's her because he doesnt know how hes supposed to dress

Casual? What If hes too casual????

But you mess up his hair and take his coat from him later, leaving it with all your stuff in some corner of the room, letting him relax a bit

Hes kinda blushy all night cause you look so pretty and also theres a lot of people he doesnt know

Gonna stand by the food for a good while, hes 'hungry'

Once you get him onto the dance floor and start dancing he let's loose a bit more tho, hes kinda awkward but it's really cute and you dont mind

Even your friends are gushing about how cute you two are

Super giggly during the slow dance, like it's all smooth and romantic but like you two are just laughing about the seriousness in the air - like guys it's just a school dance why are all of you so into it

At some point hes gonna pull you away from everyone and outside, one so he can take a breather and two so he can spend time with you

[a-deadly-serenade]

i hAVE to get something off my chest. YES its about robin hood to i’ll put it below the cut so i dont look insane

listen. i love guy, he’s been one of my comfort characters for over 10 years now, but if i see one more take on marian for the way she treated guy.... like. u dont need to TELL me guy is damaged honey, i know, i’ve been known. but you really have to take things into perspective here. 

marian is unwed and lives with her father, the same man who’s very job and position were robbed by the sheriff. now, we all know vasey is a cruel man, so it wouldnt be too farfetched to think that he would not tolerate any opposition to his sudden instatement. edward was stripped of his dignity, his power, & the only way he can ensure not only his safety, but his daughter’s as well, is to play along with the sheriff’s schemes. and on marian’s part, that entails her being polite to guy. she’s not stupid, she knows who he is--he’s the sheriff’s right-hand man, she, more than anyone, knows what he’s capable of. even from the beginning, there was no way they could have worked. unfortunately for guy, he’d already established a reputation in her eyes w/out so much as having to speak to her. 

yes we can talk till the sun comes up on how guy only exudes this facade of domineering control because that’s what he was taught shows strength (along with things like money & being able to provide) but how is marian supposed to know that that’s not really who he is at the core of his being if that’s all she’s seen? 

and i dunno, cant you tell how uncomfortable marian is in every scene guy interacts with her?? richard has explicitly said he did that on purpose, so your skin would crawl & it’s like no shit. guy practically forces himself upon her Multiple times in the series. even just taking in the first season, she is SOOoOO uncomfy in almost all their meetings; rolling her eyes half the time, trying to politely brush him off when she clearly wants him to leave; “no father, sir guy was just leaving.” 

do you not think she would fall to being nice? to being his friend? he is a man of position, the sheriff’s lieutenant; one wrong word and both she and her father could be sent to the dungeons or worse. did you not think she would take advantage of the fact that he believed her to be so unthreatening that he’d freely speak of plans to her? gloat about his deeds? she had been the nightwatchman for YEARS, she’d already made up her mind on how she felt the state of england was fairing so... yeah, of course she would help robin in getting rid of the sheriff.

guy isn’t any less guilty either. s1ep13 ring any bells? oh that’s not really king richard, we’re just using it as a way to kill the rest of his supporters, including ur father. anyway, let’s get married honey the king is Totally on his way :) like. when much tries to break it up even threatens her again! “think of your father” AAAAAA!!!!! BOY if you DONT STOP

they were never meant to work. guy had marian on a pedestal, he goes so far as to self-sabotaging their whole relationship by giving her the madonna treatment; she is a pure, saintly, someone that will wash away his sins. if that doesnt make ur skin crawl idk what will. marian cannot be a person, she cannot be someone with faults and decisions of her own, for guy has an idealized image of her in his head. do you know how dangerous that is? im sure this is what ultimately led to him killing her if im being honest. she reveals to him her true self and it’s someone that he’d rather kill than even think could be conceivable. 

anyways. you can have your opinions on marian but like... it drives me insane when i see posts about her being some master manipulator that had 0 empathy i just. are we Watching the same show???

can i hear some phineas and ferb autistic headcanons? would make my day :)

HELL YEAH!!! sorry this is delayed i was rlly tired this weekend for no reason sdgjdhgdfg (this is more analysis than headcanon at points but ill try to work in headcanons too)

phineas, ferb, candace, baljeet, and doof are definitely autistic so i’ll focus on them. i also like irving and maybe isabella being autistic but those five are Definite

phineas and doof also have adhd and candace is comorbid with Something Else but since i project my mental health onto her i need to figure out what im comorbid with first lol

ferb is partially nonverbal which is obvious but he does have strong passions and feelings, he just expresses them sort of clinically and straightforwardly.

even phineas struggles with complex emotions and usually just focuses on positivity, because really dire situations can make him have a legit meltdown if he processes them (summer belongs to you, night of the living pharmacists, etc). some emotions are just easier to work with than others yknow? and you subscribe to a certain outlook and when things dont fit with that outlook you panic.

phineas is also really bad at reading people and thats why he never gets isabellas crush on him or that candace wants to get him in trouble.

phineas and ferb make their own stim toys, and have definitely gone above and beyond. a giant castle made of sparkly slime, the world’s longest tangle toy, a 100-sided fidget cube, infinite chewing rings where your teeth never leave marks so you can chew on them forever...they can share with every neurodivergent kid in the area. honestly i wanna write a fanfic where they make an autism-based theme park with this sort of stuff!

the gelatin episode was basically just them pursuing the sensory goodness of bouncy jelly

candace is very secretive abt her autism even tho she stims a lot and, like, sits in certain ways for optimal comfort and such, and her special interests in busting her bros/her boyfriend/ducky momo/certain bands/etc are Very Obvious. but her friends support and love her even tho shes insecure and they sometimes struggle for a while to adjust to her needs.

her brothers rlly want her to be more confident but its difficult bc theyre the savants and everyone loves them bc they have a productive creative special interest in building and being imaginative but she just gets so easily distracted so she feels less productive :(

(also i like the idea of stacy being autistic too which is why she’s sometimes late to the punch observing things and has a similar inferiority complex as candace and they totally bonded over these issues)

candaces whole ‘busting’ obsession is very much about her obsession with rules and order and keeping thing predictable and under control, though as the show progresses she warms up to her brothers’ behavior because it is, in its own way, predictable

candace rlly struggles with being seen as an Adult because shes been infantilized her whole life due to her emotional issues, and she still doesnt rlly know what being an adult truly entails outside of controlling her younger siblings, she copes a lot with her childhood passions and aesthetics since its easier than changing with the times. but once she has to get to college and everything then she adapts well and as we see turns her passions into a successful law career!

baljeets special interest in math is obvious but also he struggles a lot with expressing his emotions too, he has his own routines both in scheduling and the role-playing nature in his dynamic with buford, and tends to find things funny that nobody else does because of his niche interests

doof isnt diagnosed but perry knows how to accommodate his symptoms bc theyre similar to how candace, phineas, and ferb can behave at times, ie being socially clueless, needing to rehearse things, having narrow interests and passions they can focus on for hours, etc.

also doof does raptor hands a lot to the point its lampshaded

i can see doof having a lot of stims and doing a lot of stimmy things without realizing it, i think he chews on things sometimes for instance. he gets overstimulated easily and it gets him really pissy (theres always so much noise and light outside his building) so he needs something to ground himself which is why the routines with perry help.

everyone on this show is so routine oriented, like, its mostly a meta joke but everybody has a certain way they say things, theres a basic structure for how their day has to go and if it doesnt follow that structure they panic. baljeet has his color coded schedule in the most obvious example, phineas and ferb have their catchphrases and need to create one big new thing every day, candace has busting, doof has his dynamic with perry, etc. any time these routines are disrupted they notice and it feels very Off to everyone.
