ellie williams x reader | mini fic for casual
casual m.list | tlou m.list
⊹₊ ˚‧︵‿₊୨୧₊‿︵‧ ˚ ₊⊹
୨୧ ellie is very musically talented, sometimes she’ll hear a few notes in her head and within half an hour, she’ll have a pretty decent tune
୨୧ she’s the founder of ‘the infected’ she came up with the name when she accidentally cut herself and the cut looked really gnarly n infected and then she was like.. woah that’s a pretty sick name
୨୧ jesse and dina teased her about the same bc it sounds like she’s go a uti
୨୧ it took her awhile to convince jesse and dina to join her band because 1. too much drama and 2. jesse didn’t care for being on stage
୨୧ she coaxed him into it by telling him that dina’s gonna get a lot of fanboys/girls n she’ll leave him in the dust for good
୨୧ she carries her journal everywhere with her in case inspiration strikes when she’s grocery shopping
୨୧ she also carries around a guitar pic because she likes to have something between her teeth and since she’s trying to quit smoking.. this is the next best thing
୨୧ she will NEVER EVER admit this to anyone but the reason why she moved to Seattle to start a band was because of Kurt Cobain (also why she has short hair and wears flannels)
୨୧ everyone should thank joel for him showing ellie nirvana bc without it, she may have never started a band
୨୧ ellie sometimes deprives herself of music because she doesn’t want to make anything that’ll make ppl say “that sounds like <insert band name>” it’s torture but it works
୨୧ ellie would’ve totally been the lead singer but she prefers to write and compose rather than be in the spotlight
୨୧ she wasn’t surprised when the band was starting to get traction (she in fact was and had to take a lap around the room)
୨୧ her fans paint her as this ‘player’ which she kinda revels in bc it gets her more pussy (she actually kinda hates it bc it makes her feel like a bad person but hey GAME IS GAME)
୨୧ she LOVES pop punk shows, one time she saw a bigger band and their show was so crazy, like crowd surfing, people pushing against the barrier, guards having to keep them in the pit, and everyone screaming the lyrics… she hopes her band will be that big one day
୨୧ she loves attending concerts but she can’t help but compare herself to the other bands
୨୧ she’s an audiophile, she goes to best buy just to compare headphones and their sound quality then leaves with nothing (ofc)
୨୧ every ellie in the ellieverse is a nerd, it’s a canon event, this ellie is not only a comic book nerd and a space nerd.. she’s also a GUITAR NERD !! (new ellie unlocked) she knows every type of guitar, yes, even the one that was made a minute ago in new guinea!
୨୧ ellie got her job at the guitar shop she works at bc during the interview, she completely nerded all over the place about the guitars on the walls, the old manager didn’t even need to go further in the interview, he slapped a name tag on her (he messed up and her name is elsie now) and booked it outta there
୨୧ she takes her job very seriously, it’s cute to see her working, it’s like watching a young bill gates talk about his apple products except this bill gates is wearing a raggedy flannel (she says it makes the customers trust her more bc it makes her looks like kurt), messy hair, and glitter from the concert last night
୨୧ she stays up to date on the latest guitars
୨୧ fun fact: she only gets her guitars from joel, her loving dad who runs a guitar/woodwork shop back in jackson :)
୨୧ speaking of joel, he supports ellie’s dream of being in a band because he wanted to be a singer when he was younger and he sees that younger self in ellie, it makes him happy when she talks about the concert she had last night.. it’s almost like he’s talking to his 20 year old self
୨୧ even though joel supports it, it still scares him, he doesn’t want ellie to end up like him
[a/n]: okay that’s all for now!! hope you guys like this mini thingy :3 i’ll write the next part tmrw!!

Suki Pookie! 💕
Katsuki Bakugo x Bimbo reader
Tumblr media
Katsuki Bakugo... a blond baddie with explosion powers and a itty bitty waist, with an attitude of a firecrack time 10000 nobody in Katsuki life thought he'll EVER find someone to love, to cherish, to care for for years to come... until you y/n!
Fresh from America and glowing brown skin showing off your latest hero designs you became U.A's hero design in training student. Moving from America to Japan wasn't easy with clothes and clothes packed in boxes tou couldn't move a giant leopard print high heel chair into that small ass dorm?? But a very talkie green haired boy, a girl with the face of Kirby with a bob and, a boy who refers to him as class president soon helps you move in and your designer life has been perfect!
// Firstly how did this glamorized girl with such beautiful hair and eyes ever came to romanticized a bad attitude having boy like Katsuki? Well after moving in and getting a internship you had got the first task of your career: Design 3 hero suits and sumbit them to the respective heros. Sounds easy looking at each new fist year you saw your very first guinea pigs; Ida, Monoma, and Bakugo. Ida was perfect after seeing his quick and grabbing some help from the tech teams you made a beautiful looking robot suit perfect for mobility, then Monoma has a copying quirk but has more of a regal asshole type behavior with some time periods research and grabbing his input you created him a very fine suit. Then Bakugo and as you remeber he was an pain in the ass...
FIRSTLY, he already had an design in mind which was terrible, the gauntlets were nice but it didn't have any practicality with how big they were, then the outfit was giving him enough arm area for him to move very restrictive like he wearing velcro, then he had the nerve to add a mask which is never cute on ANYTHING. Telling him his faults was like talking to a argumentative wall he wouldn't just listen but, after three long nights of making specialized gaulets, finding a cloth that would help him produce more sweat, and a mask design you made him hero costume which he didn't say he liked nor disliked. After your first task you fix up any things like Deku bunny ear thing which was totally a werid kink you think he has... and Momo having trouble with zippers, and bakugo came to you alot more when it came to updating his suit with miniscule things like a button.
So, after like literally months of him just coming g to me and making work more than I should we finally exchange numbers and instagrams! He doesn't have many follwers nor does he post but it's ok my page had enough room and after a few videos of us hanging out and posting my followers made us a ship name! It was sooo cute but he just scoff and said it wouldn't happen, such a liar.
Tumblr media
Now headcanons!!
☆ So firstly it took months almost your whole first year to even get Suki poo to ever think of you in a non-friendly manner, like Izuku he just saw you as a friend maybe even a best friend until Mina and Kirishima told him every time you and him would talk hell talk more softer with you
" Doesn't mean anything pinky shes a fucking crybaby"
" Duh! You care about her feelings omg! KIRI ITS LIKE A SLOWBURN"
" Yeah bro! Talking to a girl nicely is very manly and- hey! Where he's going!"
☆ After that Suki started to think about his glittery friend a lot more, thinking about how kissing her would feel is your favorite snack place his favorite only because he like you getting those panda chocolate biscuit things? Does he find Choco cat kinda of cute because you said he's smart like him? His mind is always racing and eveytime you own your pretty mouth he just wants to bite your face off! In a cute way
☆ So when you two cuties do start to date its a very thick line of what pda he allow firstly no kissing or making out in public like your almost pro heros your reputation is always valuable, secondly no wrid ass nicknames ( the first time you called him Suki babes was infront of bakusquad and he almost exploded Sero from the face if the earth, he blushs and held your hand while he yelled at them so win-lose) and thrid, NO SAPPY LOVE STORIES TO HIS MOM: it just not cool for his bad boy persona.
☆ But Suki really chill beside a few bumb arguments when you feel like he thinks your stupid you two always make up example:
" You think I'm dumb huh!? I got a A+ in color theory!"
" What does that do in real life baby? Make sure the fashion police doesn't giveme ticket for wearing orange in winter?"
" THAT! AND the fact without color theory you in the summer wouldn't produce enough sweat for your firecrack special thingy!
" And your not bumb because only MY smart baby would know that"
So really he explains himself alot better to you because your very intoned emotionally.
☆ Suki really into petnames despite earlier setting he loves the sappy nicknames like suki babes, pookie, sukiies and anything over the top because it apart of your nature! He loves how you text with various emotions because he texts pretty bland and he loves cuddles alot even when it's hot he likes holding you. It really stems from the fact nobody but his friends couldn't truly give him a hug and his mom and dad the only one who really can get to him so having a partner really pushed his clingy nature up to 100000.9% He likes your American accent on some words in Japanese despite him speaking English clearly in an accent he likes to mock a southern accent if your from the south.
☆ Now onto the kinda of sad part, Suki can't really hear himself loudly because his explosion are pretty loud his hearing declines more and more, and you figured it out when you called for his name loudly from a room away and he never came til you had to closely come up to him so as his personal design you made hearing aids for him and his suit which helped a lot during missions. But once you told him about his hearing he got it check out, he had the hearing of a old man practically and out of that outcme he listens to your voice alot more just incase he won't hear it again
" And I told her I didn't have any diamonds but I had rhinestones and- are you even listening suki?"
"Mhm just like hearing yer voice, so didn't she take the diamonds"
" Oh! Well she didn't and then she asked again two days later! Like girl you know well you can rhinestones insted!"
☆ Anyways back to a little more happiness Suki bookie loves to cook for you since as your beastie he saw you had a terrible sweet tooth and you didn't always eat a healthy plate so every date he makes you a nice and hearty bowl of food and makes you eat it all, from healthy grains to irons and potassium, breakfast and dinner even he ruined your ice cream and made ypugurt bars! Which were good but still where is the artificial flavor On days he does training you like to make him bento box's Sanrio or his favorite TV show themed and he always keeps the little notes you put in his locker in a safe place incase he get a little lonely
☆ Suki when you first started dating was very quite, almost never really talking because he took relationship advice from his friends and he felt like his aggressive behavior would scare you until you sit him down and talk about his distance hell be more inclined to leave you alone making the relationship strain. SPEAKING OF FRIENDS, you are an official member of bakusquad your co-captain, first Lady, even the best member because he just proclaims you as such no matter what your always with bakusquad doing dumb shit (you usually record it) or despite his attitude towars him are with deku and his friends which he doesntlike how close you and shots got over a kid show but hey... ( he watched the show and he got so instred he has a tiny merchant area in his dorm)
☆ Katsuki parents are fashion designers so he knows a little bit about fashion wven though his first hero design wasn't great ge had a solid frame so any fashion dilemma you have is solved with him, he does not sugarcoat though if that shit is ulgy he says it with he FULL chest
" Ok! So what about denim skirt, green top and purple hate with a scarf-"
" Okay Demi Lovato "
..." ..Hoe don't play with me"
Like he doesn't even play with your hair either he's the only one who can look like a bum but you? HIS beautiful golden curly/loc baddie girlfriend in sweats when its a cute halter top you can wear? Even on days where you want to be a bump he makes you atleast accessorize a bit.
☆ lastly Suki is just your pintrest boyfriend, as I mentioned he doesn't really post only pics of you and repost of him and you and from your page to his people thought he was a stan page but no no that's is Katsuki Bakugo supporting HIS girl. Did I mention he's so possive whe he got kidnapped he was scared it would happen to you, he always his an eye on you and since you like to wander off hes always close behind to point he's your shadow and you couldn't want anything more; somebody flirts with you? BOOM 💣 He already scared them off and now your getting a pretzel, somebody dms you? BOOM 🔥 He got that blocked and reported and foe some reason banned from any shopping mall.
Overall suki pookie bear Bakugo is perfect and even though I personally didn't like him at one point I would date him simply for the hell of it!

Blue Velvet- s.r.
bluer than velvet was the night
Tumblr media
summary: Spencer had no idea he could fall for a coworker, nor could he think straight at seeing her in that dress. Pure fluff and self indulgence. Inspired by the Lana Del Rey cover and I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore by REO Speedwagon.
Word Count: ~4,802
Spencer weaved through the crowd gathered in the main ballroom. The annual FBI gala was the talk of the year. He never cared for it before, making excuses to avoid going, but he made a promise this year. It’s his tenth year anniversary since joining and he was going to be honored with a gift.
“Pretty boy, you clean up nice,” Derek chuckled as he caught Reid’s sleeve.
“Hardy, har, har,” he replied. “Where’s everyone else?”
David raised an eyebrow. “Looking for someone specific?”
“Someone named Y/N?”
“No!” Spencer said, a little too quickly. “Maybe. She said she was running late and I want to make sure she made it.”
There was no way in hell Spencer would stay for long if it wasn’t for you. During your time on the team, you’d grown close. It was on one of those rare quiet afternoons that you discovered your shared interest in the genre.
"Do you like science fiction movies?" you had asked one day, scrolling through the TV guide during a rare moment of downtime during a case.
Spencer had looked up from his research, his eyes lighting up with a hint of excitement. "Actually, yes. I find them fascinating—exploring hypothetical futures, advanced technology, and ethical dilemmas."
And so began your tradition of movie nights, where you'd take turns picking films from the vast world of science fiction. From classics like "Blade Runner" to newer releases exploring the complexities of artificial intelligence and space exploration, each movie sparked lively discussions that ranged from scientific theories to philosophical debates. On weekends when the BAU was quiet, you and Spencer ventured out beyond the confines of the office and his book-lined apartment. Running errands became a joint endeavor, transforming mundane tasks into opportunities for laughter and camaraderie. Grocery shopping turned into a quest to find the most obscure ingredients for Spencer's latest culinary experiment—often inspired by a scientific study or a quirky fact he'd read.
"I read that turmeric has potential neuroprotective properties," Spencer had mused one day in the spice aisle, carefully examining the labels on various jars.
"Does that mean you're going to start making brain-boosting curry?" you teased, looking at the options.
"Maybe I'll give it a try," he replied, a mischievous glint in his eyes. “Switching up the recipe?"
You nodded. "Since we have dinner all the time, I thought I'd use you as a guinea pig for new recipes."
Spencer grimaced. "Anything for research, I guess."
You also discovered a shared love for exploring quirky bookstores tucked away in hidden corners of the city. Each visit was a treasure hunt for obscure novels, scientific journals, and occasionally, a rare first edition that would send Spencer into a state of quiet excitement. You'd spend hours browsing together, exchanging recommendations and discussing everything from literature to astrophysics. One particularly memorable afternoon, you stumbled upon a small independent bookstore that seemed frozen in time, its shelves packed with a dizzying array of books. Spencer had eagerly led the way to the science fiction section, his eyes alight with curiosity as he scanned the titles.
"This place is amazing," you murmured, running your fingers along the worn spines of old paperbacks.
"It really is," Spencer agreed, his voice tinged with genuine admiration. "I could spend hours here."
And spend hours you did, lost in the world of words and ideas, until the setting sun cast long shadows through the dusty windows, signaling it was time to reluctantly leave the sanctuary of books.
As the weeks turned into months, your friendship with Spencer unexpectedly deepened. Beyond the crime scenes and the high-stress situations, you found solace in each other's company, whether it was watching a thought-provoking sci-fi movie, embarking on an impromptu culinary experiment, or simply sharing a quiet moment of reflection in the presence of books. Spencer had spent the last few months avoiding questions about your friendship. The two of you would often text casually, making plans with each other more often than with the rest of the team. Prying eyes and curiosity had won over a team member or two. Your friendship had evolved into something deeper. You shared jokes and swapped books every few days. He’d spent hours thinking about his feelings. He dissected every time you’d touched.
The first time he felt a pang of the feeling he couldn’t describe was in Missouri.
The two of you were trying to navigate alongside a creek. Two campers had seen a canoe floating down the creek. The color matched a photo of the missing victim. Your boots crunched softly over the rotting leaves. The recent rainy weather made the ground unstable. According to park rangers, there’s usually an uptick in people slipping into the water. Spencer’s eye caught a flash of red amongst the brown and gray environment. You had gotten so caught up in the excitement for a clue that your foot teetered over a root. You began falling forward but Spencer was able to grab your arm. He attempted to brace himself, taking a step back. Instead, he took his own tumble, steadying himself against a tree. Your eyes had met for a moment. He could see the gratitude in your eyes.
“Thanks, Reid,” you murmured, brushing your hands off. You patted his arm in appreciation, turning back to the task at hand.
Spencer let you go slowly, the pat you’d given his arm still feeling heavy against his skin. You reached the canoe before he could properly think about it.
The second time he felt that dip was in New York City. A case had dragged them out to the city and the weather kept them there for an extra day. The BAU found a small restaurant around the corner from the hotel. You’d sat at other ends of the table, chattering with the team. At the end of the night, you’d psst at him to stay back.
“What?” He asked once the team had walked away.
“I got these tickets for you.” You held up two tickets to a theater in Lower Manhattan. There was a screening of a foreign film Spencer had spent weeks begging you to watch. You just couldn’t shell out the $14.99 to watch it at home.
“How did you get these? I checked earlier and they were sold out!”
You smiled. “I’m not going to lie, I had to beg for these from some lady on Craigslist.”
“Thank you!” He gushed. “Care to join me?”
“Me?”
His smile faltered for a second. “Yeah, Y/N. I don’t think anyone else would like it.”
After the film, hours slipped by as you talked about the film. The conversation flowed effortlessly, passionate about the film and it’s camerawork. Morning dawned and you’d woken up on the bed, facing the window. Spencer laid beside you, facing the opposite wary. You had plans to sightsee with Emily and JJ while Spencer wanted to visit a library or two.
A tap on the microphone on the small stage brought Spencer back to the gala. Derek chuckled, apparently having tried to pull him into the conversation with Rossi. The music resumed after the introductions. Spencer moved around the room, mingling with a few departments from the FBI. He caught sight of you through a few people. He began making his way towards you, stopping as he finally caught a full view of you.
He found himself speechless as the way the blue dress fell over your body. The thin straps and cowl neckline framed your face. Your hair fell elegantly, loose waves traveling down your shoulders. The deep blue fabric shimmered under the dim lighting. Spencer took note of how the dress complimented your figure, showing off every curve and bump. You were talking to a man, older. Spencer was completely mesmerized by how you listened so intently, brows furrow and making direct eye contact. So relaxed, yet so professional. The burning sensation in his stomach returned. Only now, he could pinpoint his feelings.
I’m in love with my best friend
Spencer took a deep breath, turning away. He found himself at the bar, a voice ordering for him. “Ice water!" Morgan clapped Spencer on the back. “Everyone saw that, lover boy.”
Spencer could feel his cheeks burning. Perhaps water would be better than alcohol. Taking the glass of ice water offered by the bartender, Spencer took a slow sip, the cool liquid soothing his parched throat and calming his nerves. He appreciated Derek's attempt to inject humor into the moment, yet beneath the surface, a storm of emotions churned—a turmoil he couldn't easily articulate.
Derek, sensing the shift in Spencer's demeanor, paused for a moment, his playful expression fading into one of concern. He studied Spencer intently, noting the furrow of his brow and the uncharacteristic quietness that had settled over him.
"Hey, man," Derek said softly, his tone gentle now, devoid of its earlier jest. "You okay?"
Spencer hesitated, the weight of his confession still heavy upon him. He glanced at Derek, grateful for the genuine concern mirrored in his friend's eyes. "I… I don't know," he admitted quietly, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
Derek nodded understandingly, sensing the gravity of the situation. "Talk to me, Reid," he encouraged, his voice low and supportive. "What's going on?"
Spencer took a deep breath, his thoughts racing as he struggled to articulate the tumultuous feelings swirling within him. "It's just… I've realized something," he began slowly, his words carefully chosen. "About Y/N." Derek waited patiently, sensing that this was more than just another case of Spencer overthinking. He knew that when Spencer spoke with this level of introspection, it meant something profound was at play. "I think… I think I'm in love with her," Spencer admitted quietly, his gaze dropping to his hands as he traced the rim of his glass. The admission hung between them, vulnerable and raw.
Derek's expression softened, understanding dawning in his eyes. “Yeah, we know, kid.”
“Then why didn’t I?”
Morgan shrugged. “You like her, and you’re scared.” Derek leaned forward slightly, his voice low and earnest. "Listen, man," he began, his gaze unwavering. "You're a great guy. Smart, kind, thoughtful—you've got so much to offer. Y/N is lucky to have you in her life."
Spencer swallowed hard, the weight of Derek's encouragement settling warmly in his chest. He had always valued his friend's opinion and respected his insights. Hearing Derek affirm his worth, especially in the context of his feelings for you, gave him a newfound sense of courage.
"You've gotta man up, Spence," Derek continued his tone firm yet supportive. "Life's too short to hold back. You know what you want—now go out there and get your girl."
Spencer nodded, a determined spark igniting in his eyes. He knew Derek was right. It was time to confront his feelings head-on, to take the leap of faith he had been avoiding for too long. You deserved to know how he felt, and he deserved the chance to see where their relationship could go.
"Thanks, Derek," Spencer said sincerely, his voice tinged with gratitude. "I needed to hear that."
Derek clapped him on the shoulder, a reassuring smile spreading across his face. "Anytime, kid. Now go make a move before someone else beats you to it," he teased lightly, the familiar twinkle of mischief returning to his eyes.
Spencer waded through the crowd. He reached you almost immediately. You smiled, quietly stepping away from the conversation to talk with him. “I made it! Sorry for not telling you earlier that I was late. Time just got away from me.”
“It’s okay. I’m glad you’re here.”
You smiled, looking around. You swayed along to the music.
“Hey, Y/N.” He blinked momentarily, lost in your eyes. “I… I just wanted to-” he huffed. “I’m sorry I’m not making any sense.”
You shook your head. “Take your time,” you said softly. “We have all the time in the world.”
He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts. "I wanted to say that… um, you know, I really enjoy working with you. And… and I value our friendship a lot." His words stumbled over each other, forming a disjointed confession that fell short of what he truly wanted to say.
Your expression softened, a gentle warmth in your eyes as you nodded. "I feel the same way, Spencer. You're a great colleague and friend."
Relief washed over him, mingled with a pang of regret at his inability to articulate his deeper feelings. "Thanks," he managed, his cheeks tinged with a faint blush. "I… I should go."
He was gone before you could respond. He sat down at the BAU table, trying to forget what just happened by half listening to a discussion over the appropriate level of drunk for a work function. As the evening progressed, Spencer found himself increasingly restless. The encounter with you replayed in his mind, each word scrutinized and analyzed. He was on the verge of getting up and leaving when the awards ceremony began. The room quieted as the host took the stage, announcing the start of the awards. Spencer shifted uncomfortably in his seat, the idea of being celebrated the furthest thing from his mind. He scanned the crowd, his eyes seeking you out, but you were nowhere to be seen.
"And now, for the recognition of ten years of service at the BAU, we honor Dr. Spencer Reid."
The applause was thunderous as Spencer's name was called. He stood, a mixture of surprise and pride swelling in his chest. His colleagues clapped enthusiastically, their faces beaming with admiration and support. He made his way to the stage, accepting the plaque with a humble smile.
As he stood there, the applause continued to fill the room, a tangible expression of the respect and camaraderie he had earned over the years. Looking out at the sea of familiar faces, he saw Derek, Hotch, JJ, Emily, Rossi, and even Garcia, all cheering him on. The moment was bittersweet, filling his heart with warmth and gratitude, yet tinged with the absence of the one person he longed to see.
He stepped down from the stage, the applause still echoing in his ears. As he returned to the BAU table, the sense of accomplishment was overshadowed by the lingering ache in his heart. He scanned the room once more, hoping to catch a glimpse of you, but you were still missing.
Derek leaned over, his voice low. "You did great up there, man."
"Thanks," Spencer replied, his voice distracted. "But I didn't see Y/N."
Derek's expression softened. "She's around here somewhere. Don't worry, man. You'll get your chance."
As he pressed the button and waited for the elevator, his mind was a chaotic blend of thoughts and feelings. He clutched the plaque, a tangible symbol of his dedication and hard work over the past decade. But his thoughts kept drifting back to you, the one person he hadn't seen since his awkward confession. The elevator arrived with a soft ding, and Spencer stepped inside, leaning against the cool metal wall. He closed his eyes for a moment, taking a deep breath to steady himself.
Just as the doors began to close, a familiar voice called out. "Hold the elevator!"
Spencer's eyes snapped open, and he instinctively reached out to press the 'Open' button. The doors parted again, and there you were, stepping inside with a grateful smile.
"Thanks, Spencer," you said, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear. "I was starting to think I'd be stuck here all night."
Spencer's heart raced as he tried to compose himself. "No problem," he managed to say, his voice steady despite the tumultuous emotions swirling inside him.
The doors closed, and the elevator began its descent. The two of you stood in comfortable silence for a moment, the only sound the soft hum of the machinery.
"So, how did the rest of the night go for you?" you asked, breaking the silence.
"It was… nice," Spencer replied, his mind still processing the evening's events. "But I needed a break. It was a lot to take in."
You nodded in understanding. "Yeah, these events can be overwhelming. I get it." You fiddled with your dress. "Thank you for coming."
Spencer glanced at you, noticing the way the dim light of the elevator highlighted your features. He felt a surge of affection and determination. This was his chance to tell you how he felt, to finally be honest with himself and with you. Before he could gather the courage to speak, you looked at him with a hopeful expression. "Hey, do you think you could give me a ride home? I wasn't really in the mood to stay any longer, and I could use the company."
Spencer's heart swelled with relief and excitement. "Of course," he said, his voice warm. "I'd be happy to."
The elevator reached the ground floor, and the doors opened to the quiet lobby. The two of you stepped out together, walking side by side toward the exit. The cool night air greeted you as you left the building, a refreshing change from the warmth of the gala. Spencer led you to his car, unlocking it with a click of the remote. You both settled into the seats, the familiar scent of the car bringing a sense of comfort. As he started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot, Spencer stole a glance at you, his resolve strengthening.
The drive was mostly quiet, the city lights casting a gentle glow on the streets. Spencer's mind raced with thoughts of how to start the conversation, but every time he opened his mouth, the words seemed to vanish.
Finally, you broke the silence. "Spencer, I just wanted to say thank you for being such a good friend. You've been there for me in ways I can't even begin to describe."
Spencer's grip tightened on the steering wheel. This was his moment. He took a deep breath, summoning all the courage he could muster. “I really appreciate you too, Y/N.”
You grinned at him. “Take a left on Wilcox Ave.”
“Your apartment is a right turn?”
“Just do what I say,” you smiled.
Spencer followed your directions, curiosity piqued as he navigated the quiet streets. The city lights gradually faded, replaced by the serene darkness of a park. He parked the car, glancing over at you with a mixture of confusion and anticipation.
You stepped out of the car, taking off your shoes and feeling the cool grass beneath your feet. Spencer hesitated for a moment before following your lead. You wandered toward a pond, the full moon reflecting off the still water like a mirror. The air was crisp and refreshing, filled with the subtle sounds of nature.
"This is beautiful," Spencer murmured, taking in the tranquil scene. You smiled, looking around. "I come here when I need to think. It helps clear my mind."
Spencer watched as you walked closer to the pond, your silhouette framed by the moonlight. He felt a rush of affection, the moment surreal and perfect. You turned to him, your eyes reflecting the same light as the water.
"Do you remember that episode of Star Trek we watched last week?" you asked, your voice breaking the silence.
Spencer nodded, stepping closer. "Yeah, 'The City on the Edge of Forever.' One of my favorites."
You sighed, a small frown forming on your face. "I didn't really get the part where they had to let Edith die to restore the timeline. It seemed so cruel."
Spencer's heart ached at your words, understanding your confusion. "It's a pivotal moment in the series. It shows the complexity of time travel and the moral dilemmas that come with it. Sometimes, to preserve the greater good, difficult choices have to be made."
You nodded slowly, processing his explanation. "But still, it just felt so unfair. She was such a good person."
"She was," Spencer agreed. "And that's what makes it so impactful. The sacrifice was necessary, but it wasn't easy. It makes you question the cost of doing the right thing."
You sat down on the grass, looking out at the water. Spencer joined you, feeling the cool earth beneath him. The conversation flowed naturally, shifting from Star Trek to other shared interests. You laughed and debated, your voices mingling with the sounds of the night. As the time passed, Spencer felt a deep sense of contentment. This was what he cherished most about your friendship—the ability to connect on such a profound level. He glanced at you, your face illuminated by the moonlight, and felt a surge of emotion.
"Y/N," he began softly, his heart pounding. "I need to tell you something."
You looked at him, curiosity and warmth in your eyes. "What is it, Spencer?"
He took a deep breath, summoning all the courage he had. "I value our friendship more than anything, but I also have deeper feelings for you. I've been trying to sort through them, and I realized that I'm in love with you."
You paused, your eyes widening in surprise. Spencer's heart sank, misinterpreting your silence. "I-I'm sorry if I crossed a line," he stammered, his voice shaky. "I didn't mean to make things awkward. Forget I said anything."
Before he could turn away, you reached out, gently cupping his face in your hands. Without a word, you leaned in and kissed him softly. The world seemed to stop for Spencer, his mind reeling as he processed what was happening.
When you pulled back, your eyes were warm and tender. "I knew," you whispered, a soft smile playing on your lips.
Spencer blinked, his mind struggling to catch up. "You… you knew?" You nodded, your smile growing. "Yeah, I did. And I feel the same way."
A wave of relief and joy washed over Spencer. "But how did you know? And how did everyone else know before me?"
You laughed softly, the sound like music to his ears. "You're not exactly subtle, Spencer. The way you look at me, the little things you do… it was pretty clear."
Spencer felt his cheeks flush, a mix of embarrassment and happiness. "I thought I was being discreet."
You shook your head, still smiling. "Not at all. But it's okay. I like that about you."
Spencer's heart soared, the weight of his unspoken feelings finally lifting. He pulled you into a hug, holding you close as the moonlight bathed you both in its gentle glow. As the first light of dawn began to break, you stood up, brushing the grass from your clothes. "We should probably head back."
Spencer nodded, standing up and following you back to the car. The drive back was quiet, but this time the silence was filled with unspoken promises and a newfound understanding.
When you finally reached your apartment, you turned to him, your expression sincere. "Thank you for tonight, Spencer. And for being honest with me."
Spencer teetered on his toes. “Is it okay if I kiss you goodnight?”
You nodded, snaking your arms around his neck. His hands landed on your hips, lips catching yours. He pulled back. “That dress looks amazing on you.”
“Thank you,” you blushed. “Goodnight.”
Spencer let you go, taking a few steps backwards. “Goodnight.” You unlocked your apartment door, stepping in. You peeked through the door, watching Spencer push the elevator button. “Though,” you said, “I do need someone to help me take it off. Or else I might have to wear it to work on Monday.”
Spencer turned around, his eyes widening slightly. “It’d be a shame. You look amazing.”
You gave him a playful smile, opening the door a little wider. “Then come on in, Doctor.”
Spencer hesitated for a moment, his mind racing with thoughts. But the invitation in your eyes was clear, and the warmth in your smile reassured him. He stepped forward, crossing the threshold into your apartment.
The door closed behind him, shutting out the world and leaving just the two of you in the cozy, dimly lit space. The air was thick with anticipation, but also a comforting familiarity. You turned your back to him, sweeping your hair to one side. "The zipper's a bit tricky," you said softly.
Spencer approached slowly, his hands trembling slightly as he reached for the zipper. He carefully pulled it down, the sound loud in the quiet room. His fingers brushed against your skin, sending shivers down both your spines.
"There," he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
You turned to face him, the dress slipping slightly off your shoulders. "Thank you," you murmured, your eyes meeting his.
Spencer felt his breath catch in his throat, the moment charged with unspoken emotion. "You're welcome," he replied, his voice husky.
You took a step closer, closing the distance between you. "Spencer," you began, your tone serious now. "I meant what I said earlier. I do feel the same way about you. I just didn't know how to tell you."
He reached out, gently cupping your face in his hands. "I'm glad you did. And I'm glad I finally found the courage to tell you."
You smiled, leaning into his touch. "So what now?"
Spencer's heart raced, but he felt a newfound confidence. "Now, we see where this takes us. One step at a time."
You nodded, your smile widening. "I like that plan."
Spencer leaned in, capturing your lips in a tender kiss. The world seemed to fade away, leaving only the two of you in this perfect moment. When you finally pulled back, both of you were breathless, but filled with a sense of rightness.
"Stay?" you asked softly, your eyes searching his.
Spencer nodded, his heart swelling with affection. "I'd love to."
You led him further into the apartment, the future uncertain but promising, filled with the possibilities of love and discovery. As the night wore on, you both knew that this was the beginning of something beautiful and real.
Bonus: “She left without her purse?” Emily asked, slightly hungover from the night before. She squinted, holding a hand up to shield her from the sun.
Derek shrugged. “Reid didn’t answer this morning when I stopped by. He was a mess about Y/N and he just disappeared.”
“Do you think there’s something wrong?”
“Let’s find out.” Derek knocked firmly, but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, but the silence from the other side of the door persisted.
Emily exchanged a worried glance with Derek. “Maybe she’s just asleep?” she suggested, though she didn’t sound convinced.
Derek sighed. “Or maybe she’s avoiding us. Either way, we need to make sure she’s okay.”
Just as they were about to knock again, Spencer swung the door open. hand. Before he could greet them, you came around the corner, your hair tousled and wearing one of Spencer’s oversized shirts.
“Is it the pancakes we ordered?” You asked cheerfully, but paused when you saw your guests.
Derek smirked, holding up the purse. “Nope, just your friendly neighborhood FBI agents, returning a forgotten item.”
Your eyes widened. “Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I completely forgot about it.”
You must have left it at the table when you spotted Spencer by the elevator.
Emily grinned, stepping forward. “Mind if we come in?”
Spencer hesitated for a moment before stepping aside. “Sure, come on in.”
They entered the cozy apartment, taking in the relaxed atmosphere and the aroma of fresh coffee. Derek and Emily exchanged amused glances at the sight of Y/N and Spencer clearly having spent the night together.
Emily nudged Derek with a knowing smile. “Well, this is cozy.”
You blushed but didn’t seem embarrassed. “We were just about to have breakfast. Would you like to join us?”
Derek shook his head, still smirking. “Thanks, but we’ve already eaten. Just wanted to make sure you got your purse back.”
Emily’s eyes twinkled as she looked at Spencer. “We also wanted to check on Reid. He kind of vanished last night.”
Spencer cleared his throat, trying to maintain his composure. “Yeah, sorry about that. It was a… complicated night.”
Derek chuckled. “No kidding. But it looks like it all worked out.”
You smiled, slipping your hand into Spencer’s. “It did. Thanks for bringing my purse, though. I would’ve been lost without it.”
Derek and Emily shared another glance, then Emily pulled out a ten-dollar bill and handed it to Derek with a smirk. She muttered something quietly.
Derek’s grin widened as he took the bill. “Make it ten.”
“Deal,” Emily replied, shaking his hand.
Spencer and you exchanged confused looks.
“What’s that about?” Spencer asked.
“Nothing you need to worry about,” Derek said, still smirking. “Just make sure to invite us to the wedding.”

Hello! Thank you so much for posting the guys’ voicelines! If it’s not too much trouble, could I ask for Yuri’s and Ritsu’s? I’ve been especially curious about Yuri’s since reading his line at the beginning of the game if you choose him lol Again, thank you so much!!
(i posted ritsu's separately!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
no anon you may not study yuri. yuri studies you. how dare you. bad guinea pig! you get no experiment tonight!
the rest of you, however, may come appreciate the good doctor with me. You can come too studying anon i won't tell yuri
some of his lines really kinda subverted my expectations of his character? /affectionate) like i thought he would be quite different! not to say his profile is dishonest, but. . .idk lol i love him he's. . .he's special.
Hello: (the first time the game is opened after that character is set as home screen NPC. Only happens once per day, unless the character is switched out and back.)
"What are you dawdling for? Change out of those rags and report to my lab immediately!"
You've Got Mail: (whenever there's something in the inbox, usually Arena rewards)
"What madness is this? Why do you have unread messages!? Check them immediately! Research is a race against time!"
Default: (requires no affinity, has no time constraints)
"You should feel honored to be chosen as the test subject of Dr. Yuri Isami, genius and visionary!"
"Jiro! Jiro!! What on earth are you doing!?"
he calls for jiro the way a parent calls for their kid who's minding their business in another room--
"Lowbrow schools of thought with the gall to oppose my research will bear a mark of shame for generations to come. One day, the world will be forced to acknowledge me."
i realized this early on since i chose him in the pre-prologue so i always had access to him on the home screen but. since anomalies have to be kept secret from the world he kind of can't be acknowledged for what he does in the long run, can he? since he specifically works in anomalous medical sciences much of what he does and works with has to be kept only within the institute's understandings. . . .
"I always preserve the lives of my patients. I cannot make guarantees for any other parts of them, however."
sure you're a disembodied head in a jar but you are a living disembodied head in a jar! don't worry they'll get you a new body!!
"I ask their cooperation for the sake of the future of humanity, and this is what I get!? Jiro, how much do we have left in our research budget!?"
Affinity 1: (between 5am and 11am)
"What a bracing morning. Jiro, prepare my wake-up tonic."
is 'wake-up tonic' a fancy way of saying coffee or do you have some mixture of herbs and spices that wakes you up
Affinity 2: (between 11am and 4pm)
"Are you injured or ill? Oh dear, how unfortunate. I shall begin the experi— Ahem, the treatment, immediately."
the way he says this is so incredible but tumblr will not let me upload the video for some reason he is so hype to try putting strange things in you.
Affinity 3: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"Jiro's not feeling well, you say? Very well. I shall test my latest formula on him."
Affinity 4: (between 8pm and 5am)
"Oh, it's you. And here I thought I had a patient. I am currently reviewing today's lessons, so please leave unless you're here for treatment."
he's very studious for a genius. not a lot of the ghouls actually go to class.
Affinity 5: (between 8pm and 5am)
"Wha... Wh-Where did you come from!? Th-Th-Th-This!? It is a medical journal! The Ace Doctor Wows Minds In Another World Thesis!"
MY GUY IS READING ISEKAI MANGA ABOUT DOCTORS AND PROJECTING do you think he reads like hentai about doctors and scientists too. probably not right he's too haughty to think about things like that before they happen
Affinity 6: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"The only blood I stain myself with is that atop the operating table. On missions, I have Jiro to fight in my stead."
it's okay to say you're just not much of a fighter lmao
Affinity 7: (between 11am and 4pm)
"Anomalous medical science is uncharted territory. Should I become its pioneer, all will bow before my intellect until the end of time... Ha ha... Ah ha ha ha ha!"
Affinity 8: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"Hmph. We have no time to spare on your drivel. Hurry up, Jiro!"
Affinity 9: (between 8pm and 5am)
"It's about time for Jiro's check-up... Hm? Wake up, Jiro! I've discovered an abnormality already!"
Affinity 10: (between 10pm and midnight)
"Hmm, this case is somewhat complex... No, there's no need for my expertise here. Jiro, prepare to operate immediately."
'this is too complicated for a human but not too complicated to be jiro's problem!' disregard that jiro may be smarter than him. . . .
Affinity 11: (between 5am and 11am)
"Prepare the new formula, Jiro. A specimen has arrived. What? You're not here for treatment?"
listen sometimes you just wanna pay someone a visit! it's not my fault you live in a goddamn hospital.
Affinity 12: (between 11am and 4pm)
"I will soon be finished with today's lessons— then I shall return to the lab to confirm the status of my latest test subject."
this is between 11 and 4pm, so you're basically just hearing him talk about his plans for after school lmao just normal student things!!!
Affinity 13: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"Why yes, I attended every lesson today, as always. All studies are linked, after all. Though it takes a mind such as mine to recognize that."
I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT HARD TO SEE THE LINK BETWEEN MEDICINE AND EVERYTHING. . .UNLESS YOU JUST DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ILLNESSES OR MEDICINE. . . .
Affinity 14: (between 5am and 11am)
"What is that slovenly visage, worm? Tell me, do you have an excuse for looking more emaciated than me when I spent all night researching? I didn't think so!"
would you like my laundry list of reasons i look tired yuri because i can get it
Affinity 15: (between 5am and 11am)
"I must personally administer Jiro's shots three times a day. The treatment is rather unique, you see."
'you see i use my peni--'
Affinity 16: (between 11am and 4pm)
"You have business with Jiro? Not before bringing it to me, you don't. He is merely my assistant—as house captain, it is I who possesses the authority."
no talking to his son assistant without going through him first! sorry anon who asked for an appointment with jiro yuri has to approve it
Affinity 17: (between 10pm and midnight)
"I'm busy with my experiments. Go back to your dorm and ready yourself for your next appointment. Jiro, see her home."
i feel like he doesn't want you to see what he does to his other test subjects. . .not because they die or anything, they always live, it's just a little gruesome to see. He's not as rough with you. And he needs to make sure you keep coming back. And he needs to make sure you get home safe, so he's sending Jiro with you.
Affinity 18: (between 8pm and 5am)
"Even harmful anomalies can have use as medicinal ingredients... This is the sort of immeasurable value my work provides."
isn't that common knowledge in the medical world though. . .i mean obviously getting the right balance is crucial but that's not an entirely new concept, 'let's use the harmful thing for something good'--
Affinity 19: (between 10pm and midnight)
"Don't forget that body of yours is a vital specimen! Is it not common knowledge that lack of sleep is the root of all illness!?"
DON'T YOU AND JIRO REGULARLY PULL ALL NIGHTERS IF NOT FOR DAYS AT A TIME?????? maybe yuri is just immune to illness. . . .
Affinity 20: (between 5am and 11am)
"Good morning, M... M... M... My,  what an adequate morning it is, no!? Hmph... Don't confuse me like that..."
IF YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE YURI IN THE PRE-PROLOGUE IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW. . .when Yuri jumps he says "goodbye, mama."
Tumblr media
In Japanese it's somewhat more apparent that he's about to call you 'mama' in the voiceline. Maybe it's just my interpretation based on lines 23 and 24, but I think something happened to his mother where he failed to save her with surgery and at higher affinity he begins to project that need to save terminal/cursed patients' lives on you in particular. And he starts to think of you the way he thinks of his mother, but also as his favorite test subject. That or it's a loop/timeline thing and you're actually his mother--do you guys think he'd be able to be convinced into mommy kink shit he clearly has mommy issues it might help
Affinity 21: (between 11am and 4pm)
"Mark my words, I'll have those pompous, preening parasites at Frostheim kneeling before me..."
man they do not like frostheim here in mortkranken. the fact that this is so high up is like. . .i wonder if there's some serious beef here.
Affinity 22: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"Jiro's gone!? ...So be it, then. I grant you the privilege of being my assistant for the day. Be grateful, worm."
jiro will come back when he needs his medication, it's fine! woohoo! do we get a nurse outfit!?
Affinity 23: (between 8pm and 5am)
"There is no life I can't save... There can't be... I am Yuri Isami...the genius visionary doctor..."
it sounds like he's downright scared to fail to save a life.
Affinity 24: (between 10pm and midnight)
"My next surgery must be a success... I... I cannot afford another failure..."
i am once again assuming his mother died on the operating table while he was trying to save or otherwise help her and he's extremely traumatized by it. on the other hand would he say 'goodbye mama' if she weren't still alive? maybe she's alive but she's in a coma or hospice or critical condition or something. and he's studying anomalous medicine to figure out how to save her.
Affinity 25(max): (no time constraints)
"You belong to me. I will never hand you over to another researcher... (gasp) N-N-N-No, you've misunderstood! I-I just...!"
i'm literally the doctor's favorite lab rat because i am so obedient and intelligent and-- he blushes in the second line--he meant it as a test subject/lab rat or assistant thing but he also accidentally said how he really felt at the same time. . . . But you're his, he will be the one to save you, when he stands atop the world as world renowned genius anomalous medical doctor yuri isami you will stand by him as his proudest subject who's helped him confirm many theories and save many others' lives and he will work so hard to keep you well you are his and he doesn't want anyone else to learn what he can learn from you--
Spring: (March-May) (between 5am and 11am)
"Struggling with pollen allergies? I have a new formula here developed in Mortkranken, shall I test it on you?"
(between 11am and 4pm)
"Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm! Hmm hmm hmm! Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm! Pa rum!"
so i don't know enough classical music to be able to tell what the songs he hums are, but if anyone wants to give it a shot i can try uploading the audios of him lol just lmk
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"Which house's ghouls are out in the field at present? Oh my, I do hope they come back with some exciting injuries."
i wonder who his favorites to fix up are. . .on the one hand, he hates frostheim. so he might wanna be rougher with them or subject them to more unique experiments and make them admit his intelligence and skill. on the other hand obscuary must be the most interesting ones to work on since they're so unique?
(between 8pm and 5am)
"When did the cherry blossoms bloom...? The changing of the seasons seems rather superfluous when I am engaged in my research."
Summer: (June-August) (between 5am and 11am)
"Jiro, make a record of today's temperature. We need to take the changing climate into for illnesses particular to summer."
(between 11am and 4pm)
"Darkwick will provide me the materials I need for my research, provided they fall within our budget... But that is simply insufficient."
have you tried selling organs? taiga says it's very lucative. surely you have some lying around?
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"Hmm...hmm...hmm...hmm... hmm hmm hmm hmm, Pa pa pa pa pa pa rum!"
(between 8pm and 5am)
"Why do you look so distressed? If the heat is proving too much for you, I can prescribe you something to lower your body temperature."
Autumn: (September-November) (between 5am and 11am)
"Why must a peerless genius such as myself be saddled with performing piddling health checks for the new students!? It's asinine!"
aren't you the only legitimate doctor in this place by your own admission!?
(between 11am and 4pm)
"A trip to admire the fall foliage? Why yes, I am interested. After all, I'm sure Jabberwock's mountains possess all sorts of undiscovered ingredients. Let's get going."
just make sure you ask towa before taking anything. . .he might not appreciate you messing with his plants. . . .
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"Sports...? Hmph, such nonsense is entirely superfluous to my life. Why needlessly expend energy in such a manner?"
(between 8pm and 5am)
"Hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm hmm, hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmm!"
Winter: (December-February) (between 5am and 11am)
"Freude! SchĂśner! GĂśtter! Funke! Tochter aus Elyyyyyyysium!"
HE IS SINGING ODE TO JOY IN THE ORIGINAL GERMAN.
(between 11am and 4pm)
"Eureka! A new formula utilizing an anomalous plant that only grows in subzero temperatures has been discovered, by...! Jiro..."
c'mon yuri be proud of your vice captain!
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"Our research budget for the new year is nearly spent... Come, Jiro! We're going to negotiate with the faculty!"
(between 8pm and 5am)
"I despise the snow. It brings nothing but revolting memories... There, we're done with today's checkup. Any other questions?"
. . .what happened between Yuri and Jin. I NEED TO KNOW.
His birthday: (September 14th)
"You...remembered my birthday!? Ahem... If you wish to give me a present, make it either a talented assistant or a useful test subject."
people don't remember his birthday much i assume. . .or they tend to stay away from him so much he just doesn't get much attention or appreciation.
Your birthday:
"I am here to celebrate your birthday. Do you feel honored? I've prepared a new formula for you. Let's continue this in the lab, shall we?"
your birthday present is being part of more experiments! aren't you honored???
New Years: (January 1st)
"Happy New Year. I am on my way to make my first shrine visit. You didn't think me the type? I-It's just a tradition!"
Valentine's Day: (February 14th)
"Hmm, my blood sugar was just starting to drop. I suppose you do have it in you to be considerate every now and then... Pardon? Valentine's Day? ...(gasp)"
oh he has never gotten valentine's day chocolates before has he. or at least not recently.
White Day: (March 14th)
"I suppose I can concede you have proven yourself useful in the lab, worm. ...This is a token of my gratitude."
he didn't blush when he got the gift but he did blush giving you one so. . .i'm taking it this isn't obligation chocolate.
April Fool's Day: (April 1st)
"Hmph, did you honestly think you could fool me? I won't fall for your cheap tricks. I've already been fooled by Jiro seven times today!"
comically jiro's says he doesn't remember pulling any tricks on yuri at all. . .so yuri may be assuming anything he dislikes or is inconvenienced by is a trick lol
Halloween: (October 31st)
"Trick or treat! I have coordinated the ultimate matching costumes for Jiro and I... Yes, perfect."
the fact that he wanted to match costumes with jiro is so cute. . .like he really has this goofy side that doesn't come out much, but it seems like he enjoys celebrations and relaxed things, he's just too busy to engage in them. he likes isekai manga and holiday traditions and costumes. . .then again there's coordination and order involved in a matching halloween costume. so maybe he just likes the order and structure of it all.
Christmas: (December 25th)
"Merry Christmas. You can hand me my present at your earliest convenience. You did prepare one for me, didn't you!?"
he's surprised you remembered his birthday and valentine's day but he expects a christmas gift???
Idle: (about 20 seconds without interacting with the game) (below 13 affinity)
"I am a very busy man, so if you don't require examination, then we're done here."
(13 affinity and above)
"Hmph. You really think yourself important enough to make a genius like myself wait around!?"
Absent: (logging in for the first time in 2 or more days?)
"Where on earth have you been, worm!? Next time you plan on taking an extended leave of absence, I expect you to inform me in advance!"
THERE WE GO. after yesterday where tumblr decided to freak out on me and just fuckin delete it all i'm glad it's out of the way today lol. I REALLY LOVE YURI HE REALLY FEELS SO. . .PATHETIC. he's the self-reinforcing type who really feels the need to hype up his own greatness and reinforce his authority while, as you get closer to him, letting you see how vulnerable he is and how scared he is of failure. and at first you're a specimen and a lab rat but after getting close enough he shoos you away from his experiments and you can even be his assistant(in jiro's absence) instead. . .his profile makes him sound very in control and aggressive but he doesn't really seem that way in his voicelines i guess? and here and there he's goofy and caring. . .he's kind of a loser(affectionate)!
one of my favorite characters lolol i am so looking forward to the mortkranken chapter because that's going to be so dramatic i bet. . . .

Part 12 only on tumblr so far

The Perfect Place - Part Thirteen
John put the skull back on its place on the mantelpiece and pointed at the dagger Sherlock had stuck into the wood to keep several letters in place. He frowned and gave Sherlock a disapproving look.
“You shouldn’t keep such a sharp dagger in the wood.” John chided.
Oh dear, here come the admonishments, Sherlock thought.
He braced himself against what John was likely about to say. “It’s dangerous to keep a sharp object here. People could get hurt.” Or “You’re destroying the wood, it’s difficult to repair damage like this.”
John continued. “It’s really bad for the blade, it’ll get dull, you know? Also, the tip might break and get stuck in the mantelpiece. It would be a shame to ruin such a fine dagger.”
“Erm, okay?” Sherlock stuttered, surprised, “Yes, will do.” Not what I expected.
When John peeked under the sofa, he pulled out the Turkish scimitar that Sherlock had already missed.
“Oh, great, you found it! I’ll be needing it tomorrow.” Sherlock called out happily.
“What for?” John brandished the scimitar and made some thrusts into Sherlock’s direction. “You going to waylay guileless travellers?”
“No, of course not.” Sherlock decided to test John’s sense of humour. “I’ll need it to chop the remains from the latest flatmate-candidate. He insulted Billy and therefore he had to die.”
John looked Sherlock straight into the face, utterly deadpan. “Good then that I didn’t. Also, you’d better use this letter-holding dagger for precision cuts through the corpse’s joints.”
They stared at each other for three long seconds before they exploded into raucous laughter.
For the next ten minutes, Sherlock watched John hopping excitedly around the sitting-room, ogling things, pawing bits and fondling bobs.
It was an amazing sight of utter joy.
Sherlock was reminded of a toddler experiencing their first Easter egg hunt in a magical wonderland. He suppressed the urge of handing a basket to John so that he could put the found treasures inside for later perusal.
(Others might have been reminded of a squirrel suffering from dementia, getting excited over and over again about finding the same nuts it had hidden juts several minutes ago, thinking they were new.)
(And yet others would have thought of a cuddly hedgehog searching for windfall like apples and pears to gain weight for the next winter.)
John commented on every mysterious, unusual, weird or quirky object that he picked up, showing it to Sherlock and silently asking for more information, data that Sherlock was more than happy to provide.
“Are you needing a cup of tea as bad as I?” John asked after a lot of talking, “I’m parched.”
(Also, his throat was terribly dry from all the dust he had inhaled while scrutinizing Sherlock’s things.)
“Let’s make some,” Sherlock offered, “and you could have a look at the kitchen.”
Sherlock put the kettle on while John first commented on the lovely choice of green tiles on the kitchen wall and then asked about the array of chemistry equipment on the kitchen table.
“I’m doing a lot of experiments here,” Sherlock explained, “to gather data and evaluate clues in order to solve the crimes that I consult on.”
(This was true, of course. Also, it sounded much better than the whole truth. Namely, that Sherlock followed mostly some whims he had when he was bored and just experimented with whatever was available to him. He had produced mountains of laboratory journals with millions of spreadsheets of data that nobody would ever use. Like one of his latest obsessions when he had tested the durability of mummified Guinea pig embryos after being exposed to various kinds of acids and then thrown against a bed of nails.)
“What is it you’re currently experimenting on?”
“I’m measuring the coagulation of saliva after death.” Sherlock replied and poured the hot water over a teabag.
“Interesting.” John said. “I’ll get us some milk.” He reached for the handle of the fridge.
Sherlock suddenly remembered where the saliva had come from and an electric shock of terror struck him.
“No, don’t open…” he began to shout.
But it was already too late.
“… the fridge.” Sherlock whispered.
John’s shriek reverberated in the deadly silence that followed.

Just a question but will you do one with Leo X reader in fast forward??
Love your work ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Chrono Memories (Fluff)
FastForward!Leonardo x peacekeeper!reader
Tumblr media
Thank you so much!!💚 And of course I can. Hope you like it💙😘
----------------------
Cody and Donnie have a new invention. A device that can show people’s thoughts and memories. Leo agrees to test it out, leading to a secret Leo had been keeping hidden for himself for some time.
Warnings: Accidental invasion of mental privacy, a little awkwardness, angst if you look closely, brotherly teasing, spelling.
----------------------
In the bustling laboratory of Cody Jones, the air was filled with the hum of futuristic technology. The turtles had gathered in Cody's lab, intrigued by the latest invention Donatello and Cody had been tirelessly working on for the past few days. A device that could delve into one's memories and project them for others to see. An idea Cody had had for the longest time, that he finally was able to make reality with the help of Donatello.
Leonardo, the stoic and disciplined leader of the turtles, was the chosen subject for the experiment. Despite his initial reservations, he agreed to be the guinea pig for the sake of scientific curiosity. Especially after Donnie and Cody had showered him with praise over his mental control, stating that it would make him the best test subject out of all the turtles.
Cody adjusted the settings on the sleek, high-tech console while Donatello double-checked the connections to the electroids on Leo’s head. Leo, placed in a somewhat comfy chair, watched as they worked around him. The room was filled with a faint blue glow as the device on the small table in front of him powered up, ready to plumb the depths of Leonardo's memories.
“But what if his skull is too thick?”, Michelangelo asked in a teasing manner, causing Raphael to laugh.
“Thicker than your skull? I highly doubt it”.
"Alright, Leo, just relax", Cody instructed, adjusting a few more settings on a holographic control board to his right.
"We'll start with a simple childhood memory, nothing too intense", Donatello said, taking a few steps back to look at the setting Cody was plotting in. “If there’s anything you don’t want us to see, you should just be able to lock us out of the memory, okay?”
Leo nodded, closing his eyes as he focused on the task at hand. The device whirred to life, and the room was enveloped in a soft glow. A three dimensional hologram was shown from the device, playing out the memory Leo had allowed.
As the holographic projection unfolded in Cody's lab, the images of Leonardo's memories began with scenes from his childhood training with Master Splinter. The hologram displayed a young, determined Leonardo practicing katas and perfecting his martial arts skills under the watchful eye of his wise sensei. The room was filled with the sound of wooden weapons clashing, and the young turtle's dedication to his training was evident.
“Awww”, Mikey cooed, watching the young version of his oldest brother train. “Baby Leo in the old, old lair. How sweet!”
“I remember that”, Raphael said, a small smile spreading over his face. “I was trying to sleep and they kept me up. Took long before Leo finally decided to sleep himself”.
“Okay, Leo”, Donnie said, smiling fondly as he remembered how Raph would grumble in the other bunk. “Now give us access to a more recent memory”.
Then, the hologram seamlessly transitioned to a scene set in the futuristic city of 2105. Tall skyscrapers adorned with neon lights loomed in the background, a stark contrast to the training grounds of his youth. The holographic Leo, was shown in various action-packed scenarios - defending the city from new threats, leading his brothers into battle with an unwavering determination.
But then, a sudden shift occurred. The scene changed, glitching for a short second. For a short moment, Leo’s brother could have sworn they saw a scene of Leonardo stealing glances at someone. But a frown on Leo’s face and a sudden turn of his head, caused the scene of him and his brothers to return.
“Interesting”, Cody said, looking closer at the numbers. “Seems like an involuntary thought was trying to take over”.
“Leo? An involuntary thought? That doesn’t sound right”, Raphael said, crossing his arms.
“Well, that’s what it looks like”, Donnie said, agreeing with Cody.
However, the glitch appeared once more, and this time it didn’t disappear when Leo turned his head. The hologram shifted to a scene of you, a skilled peacekeeper, and now a well known friendly face to the turtles and Cody. One of the few peacekeepers that actually seemed to believe and listen to what the turtles had to say. You were wearing the advanced and sleek uniform your job required, just like you always did whenever you and the other peacekeepers would stumble upon the turtles. Leo's admiration for you was palpable in the holographic images. The way his shoulders would relax at the sight of you along with the little spark in his eye.
In the hologram, Leonardo was shown observing you from a distance during peacekeeping missions, his keen eyes tracking your every move with a mix of admiration and respect. There were moments captured where he assisted you in small impromptu training sessions, exchanging martial arts techniques and strategies, along with small talk. The holographic Leo displayed a warmth in his eyes that was reserved solely for you, a softness that contrasted with his usual stoic demeanor.
“Okay, maybe we should shut it down”, Cody said, noticing the way Leo turned his head once again, trying to lock the memory off from them.
The scenes continued to unfold, depicting shared moments of camaraderie and unspoken connection. A holographic image showed Leo stealing glances at you during scoldings he and his brothers got from the head of the peacekeepers. It also captured his sudden avoidance of your gaze, the moment you realized someone was looking at you.
“Oh no”, was all Donnie said before frantically tapping at the settings on the console.
“What is happening?”, Mikey asked, slightly fearful of the grimace on Leo’s face.
“Seems like our Chrono Memory Displayer isn’t working quite as intended”, Donnie said with a nervous laugh.
“How so?”, Raph asked.
“Well, I don’t know, maybe by invading his privacy!”, Donnie exclaimed, pointing to the scenes that was still playing in front of them.
The glitch revealed glimpses of Leo's more vulnerable moments - times when he privately grappled with his feelings, questioning whether it was appropriate to harbor emotions for a fellow warrior in the midst of their duties. Especially one from a different time than himself. The holographic projection conveyed a genuine and unguarded side of Leonardo that his brothers had rarely seen. How he would sit nervously in his room, leg jumping at the thought of you.
As the holographic display concluded when Cody finally found a way to turn it off, the room fell into a thoughtful silence. As Leo opened his eyes and took the electrodes off with the help of Donatello, no one said a word. The turtles and Cody exchanged glances, realizing the depth of Leonardo's feelings for you.
Raphael, breaking the silence, let out a low whistle. "Well, well, Leo. Looks like you've been holding out on us".
Leo, now fully aware of the revelations, couldn't meet the eyes of his brothers. Instead, he turned his gaze to the ground, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.
Donatello, attempting to break the tension, said with a slightly nervous laugh; "Guess it takes a machine to break into Leo’s thoughts. Who would've thought?"
But the silence from the leader in blue spoke volumes. Leonardo's secret thoughts and hidden feelings were laid bare for all to see. The holographic projection captured moments of shared smiles, the softness in his eyes when you were around. It was evident that the fearless leader of the turtles harbored a crush on you.
Raphael couldn't help but snicker, earning a sharp look from Leo. Leo knew that was just Raph’s way of coping with awkward tension like this, but he couldn’t help but feel a bit of anger burn in him. Just a little. So small that it burned out with Cody’s words.
"It seems our device works a bit too well. Sorry about that, Leo. We didn’t mean to see all that".
The leader of the Turtles sighed, a slight blush tinting his cheeks. "It's fine. Just... be more careful next time", he said, nodding at Cody’s words, flashing him a small smile. He knew that they didn’t mean to do this, and something in Leo had always known that one day, they would learn about his crush on you, no matter if he was ready for it or not.
Mikey, always the one for humor, jumped to Leo’s side before wrapping an arm about his shoulder. "Well, Leo, looks like you've got some explaining to do!", he said, squishing his big brother close in a show of affection.
“Maybe another day”, Leo said, getting out of Mikey’s grip and standing from the chair. “Right now I’m still a little… shaken”.
“But there’s no explaining to do”, Raph said, pulling Leo into yet another brotherly hug. “You got a crush on (Y/N), and that’s it. No more explanation there”, he continued, poking Leo’s face in a teasing manner.
“Okay, you got me!”, Leo said, breaking free from Raph. “I have a crush on (Y/N). You’re right about that. Now, can we drop it?”
“Sure, we can drop it”, Mikey said, tapping his chin in thought. “Or, we could call the peacekeepers and tell them about a break in”.
“A break in?”, Cody asked confused. “When? Has anything been stolen?”
“I’m not sure when, but I am quite sure that one of the peacekeepers stole Leo’s heart”, Mikey answered, just managing to dodge before Leo could grab onto the tails of his bandana. “We should definitely call the peacekeepers!”, Mikey yelled over his shoulder as he ran out the laboratory with Leo on his heels. “Leo is trying to assault me!”
“Call the peacekeepers and they will be investigating a murder!”, Leo yelled as they ran past Serling, causing the poor robot to tumble over.
Cody, Donnie, and Raph all watched from the laboratory entrance, exchanging glances.
“With that character change, I bet 10 bucks she already knows he has a crush on her”, Raph said.
“Bet”, Cody and Donnie said, turning to Raph for a handshake.

A request made by my good friend @siberat. I hope you enjoy!
Chubformers drabble #99!
Character: Perceptor (IDW)
Word count: 1.1K+
Nearly half of his personal fuel stock for the week had been ravaged in a matter of minutes, but Perceptor was still so, so hungry.
It was likely that ridiculous play Brainstorm called experiments the other day that had done him in. He never felt this hungry, not even after hours spent hunched over his desk working on various projects. His tanks groaned and cramped, begging him with noisy growls for more, more, more.
He needed a medic, or maybe an antidote, but most of all, he needed something else to eat.
Brainstormed was a skilled bot, even when things had a tendency to turn sideways with him in the laboratory. The giddy excitement and enthusiasm coupled poorly with his cocky demeanor, and more often than not Perceptor was forced to save the inventor from his own oblivion.
No, that should not be smoking and I don’t believe those chemicals react well when mixed were often phrases uttered from a distance as he watched Brainstorm work his magic, but in the end, things typically sorted themselves out. The more time they spent together the better, it seemed, and Brainstorm was getting faster at picking up the scientist’s tips and tricks.
He was getting better, much better, and Perceptor’s relief at seeing a drop in daily catastrophes had desensitized him to the ever-present risk that came with anything Brainstorm put together.
His latest notable invention—and by notable, Perceptor meant having the most potential to do some good for the rest of Cybertron—was what Brainstorm referred to as a miracle elixir. His obsession with breaking boundaries and bending the rules of existence was never squashed, no matter how long it took for him to make progress, and the morning prior Perceptor had been ushered into his colleague’s workshop for his role as the experiment’s guinea pig.
“It cures the need for fuel completely!” Brainstorm had said, his servos stretching wide as he imitated the swell of full tanks. “No more hunger, no more energon shortages… it’s perfect!”
Perfect seemed a bit of an overstatement, but Perceptor was willing to try. After all, the worst that could happen was it offlined him on the spot. Knowing Brainstorm, however, he had likely experienced much worse and more realistic side effects from a botched batch of new inventions.
He drank it without complaint, and tolerated Brainstorm’s chatter while they awaited the results, but to the inventor’s disappointment (and his, if he were being honest), nothing spectacular came of it. There were no side effects, no threats of illness, nothing. He didn’t feel different, and he certainly didn’t feel bad.
“Give it a few hours,” Brainstorm had said, insisting on walking him back to his own lab after they’d finished up with the failed experiment, “and let me know how it goes. I’m curious to see what changes!”
Perceptor was tempted to reiterate the fact that this was likely going to be another experiment that didn’t work out as expected, but the glee on the inventor’s face was far too fresh for him to crush. He would give a few hours, he decided, and see what changed… if anything. Granted, no immediate effects had him doubting the reliability of the starting formula, but changes could always be made moving forward.
He felt fine at first, and as the hours progressed, he was almost surprised to find that his fuel levels had in fact remained steady. Cleanup for the evening was quick and his drift into recharge was simple, and by morning, Perceptor had all but forgotten about the new experiment.
It was around morning, too, when his symptoms had begun to appear.
Perceptor pored over the scribble list Brainstorm had so hastily put together in his rush to create, one arm braced around his rumbling belly while the other held him upright in his chair. His optics were glazed over as he struggled to focus long enough to get past the first line, and his processor was occupied with the thought of rummaging through their storage for something, anything, to satisfy his hunger.
No, no, he wasn’t just hungry anymore . He was starving, weakened, and feeling like he’d gone without fuel for days on end. His vision was crossed as his groaned and rubbed his forehelm, the arm around his belly softening so he could rub at his middle and soothe the pains.
His plating was swollen from the bloat of his gut, his tanks stuffed to the brim from the sheer volume of food he had packed away. Processed fuel and bite-sized snacks had been the first to be devoured, but Perceptor had soon moved onto other things like canned ores and bottles of fizzy fuel in the lounge. His belly ballooned outward, stuffed far beyond its limits with food and fuel, but his tanks still rumbled.
He needed something more, and he needed something else. He was absolutely famished by now.
Perceptor lifted his helm from the desk—wait, when had he stopped reading the ingredients to that Primus-forsaken mixture? His helm was aching now. He stared back down at the pages, but the words blurred together, creating lines of fuzzy ink and illegible print.
His belly rumbled again, louder this time, and it was all he could do not to get up and stagger back out to the kitchen. His tanks would burst at this rate! He couldn’t dare pack any more fuel into them. Right now, he had to focus. He needed a cure, or an antidote, or something to reverse the effects of this ridiculous experiment.
“Focus,” he whispered to himself, scooting forward in his chair. “Focus, Perceptor. Think.”
The edge of desk dug painfully into the mesh of his belly, pushing it further back beneath the plating straining around it. He read one line, then another, his lips moving silently as he struggled to process the words. His belly ached with the sharp pain of gnawing hunger, and his helm pounded with every pulse of his spark, but he was going to be fine.
He had to find a solution to this, and fast. But maybe… maybe a break was deserved. He was painfully hungry, after all.
Perceptor pushed his chair back from the desk and stood with a groan, his servos immediately settling atop his protruding gut. Walking to the door was little more than a slow, painful waddle, his belly bulging outward as though full of a healthy, growing sparkling.
A break was needed if he were to make any further progress, he decided. Just one more break, and then he would put an end to this mess. Maybe, if he were lucky, there was still as stash of energon goodies stowed away somewhere in the kitchen
There was only one way to find out, and only one cure for his insatiable hunger. Perceptor stumbled out of the lab and headed towards the kitchen, his frantic search for an antidote forgotten and replaced by the desire to quell his voracious appetite.

For this year's @swimonzine , I had the opportunity to illustrate the spectacular Epaulette Shark!
Named for their giant black spots behind its pectoral fins, these small sharks reside in the shallow waters of Australia and New Guinea. Rather than swimming through the water, they use their fins to push off of surfaces: a unique "walking" motion that helps them navigate rocky reefs and tide pools.
Come night time, the tides of their habitat recede, leaving these sharks with minimal oxygen or water to move around in. Incredibly, they've evolved to withstand these hypoxic conditions for up to three hours until the tide flows back in!
Check out this latest issue of the Swim On Zine, full of all sorts of beautiful shark artwork 🦈

Not so suddenly in love
Note: this is like a character study of Solomon, plus a fic. Hints of a slow burn from Solomon's side.
Solomon looks like a friendly and reliable person, but still he is not. Yes, he will help someone who is in trouble, maybe even sometimes initiate a conversation with this person or demon, but at one point he can simply disappear from the lives of these people without uttering a word. Solomon can allow a similar attitude to his old friends, let alone new acquaintances.
When you first met, Solomon was interested in you as a guinea pig. He was absolutely sure that you would not cause him great emotions, so Solomon occasionally found out some information about you. He was more intent on learning about the demon brothers than about somw ordinary human. But as time went on, he started to learn a lot about you on unintentially. The demon brothers themselves told about you, about how kind and strong you are. They were always praising you, all the conversations always ended up discussing you. Solomon didn't put the topic in the right direction for him, he let the demons talk about you. Little by little, he himself became interested in what was so special about you, and he began to ask Asmo and others to tell more about you.
After he learned enough about you from other's mouth, Solomon decided to act on his own. He was curious to find out who you are. To do this, he offered you help in mastering the educational material. Innocent enough, isn't it? And you were glad of his help, after all, you are the only human in hell, of course you want to have a strong friendly relationship with him. Solomon knows that difficulties bring people closer together, so he wasn't worried that you would refuse his "bait". He was slowly becoming a part of your life.
"Devildom is a very dangerous place, I suppose you know that well yourself?" - he was talking while he was wrapping up your wounds, which appeared due to the fact that you were in the field of view of hungry Bill. "I was lucky that I decided to make a visit to you at this time. I wouldn't want Beelzebub to devour you," he continued. "It's okay," you replied. Despite the pain tearing through your whole body, you tried to stay positive. Pulling a smile, you thanked Solomon. "You know, I think we should stick together," Solomon suddenly suggested. "Even though you have pacts with the seven lords of hell, I think the help of one more person would not hurt. Still, despite your newly acquired ties with demons, it won't hurt you to have a human friend who will understand your problems," he finally finished.
That day was well remembered for both of you, because it was the birth of your future close relationship with him.
He hammered into his memory the smile that followed his proposal. It was so sincere and bright, as if the sun decided to descend into hell and illuminate this cursed place. It seemed to him that his heart contracted at that moment.
Solomon, like a scientist, studied you and your every reaction in detail. He could invite you to take a walk in a dangerous place, give you an unusual potion, try to scare you. Not everyone will tolerate such an attitude towards themselves, but you still forgave him. You were throwing off his strange behavior, on the unusual nature of Solomon, it must be his character. And besides, his jokes didn't go too far, fortunately they weren't fatal.
In Solomon's defense, he did all this to get to know you better. A miracle happened for him, he was like a little kid who was hungry to learn more about you. It had been many millennia since he had last felt something like this. Therefore, he seized every opportunity to reveal all of you, to taste every slice of you. Can you blame him for that? And he really liked what he was learning about you. He was damn glad that he would find out about your features himself, without anyone's help, without asking the demon brothers to tell the latest news about you.
In return, he also gave you a dip in his depth. He let you slowly enter his soul, which no one entered for a long time. Solomon wanted you to be able to feel all of him, to reveal the veil of secrecy that he protects from those who so much want to know the weaknesses of this immortal man. He's not afraid to trust you and he doesn't give a damn if he regrets it later. You're more than a close friend to him. More than a potential couple. You're his soul mate.

If you're taking requests is like to requests the riddlers with jealousy scenarios! Thank you
A/N: as much as I don’t like ACTUAL jealousy and try to refrain from jealous tendencies I find in myself…jealousy scenarios are kinda fun to write for rip…is that bad? I feel like that’s bad lmao. Sorry that if some if not most of these tend to repeat the same scenarios (co-worker, waiter, colleague, they’re just such good set-ups asdfgh)
Jealousy Scenarios with The Riddlers:
Arkhamverse Riddler:
Edward was absolutely furious. Why would you ever even begin to comprehend such a thing? Surely, you had to be smarter than this. You knew better than this? From all your time privileged in his presence…
“You would rather be a trembling brain-dead guinea pig than being a productive and useful assistant in a very intellectually stimulating environment mind you!”
“Ed. I just said Jonathan stopped by asking for you…”
“But you let him into my work space!” 
“Upstairs is the living area, not your work space here in the basement or your tracks in the sewers. And his leg was giving him issues, so I let him rest.” 
“Oh please! Our dear, ex-professor has many issues, but that leg isn’t one of them. He moves better with it than when he was in perfect health!” 
“If you’re jealous of another man being alone with me can just say that you’re not comfortable.” 
Edward groaned in frustration. “I’m not jealous of that walking tarp of burlap!” 
You shrugged, but patted Ed’s shoulder and kissed his cheek. “Sure, sweetie.”
Reevesverse/Dano Riddler:
“Wow, he is something, isn’t he?” You remarked at the TV. 
As much as he admired the vigilante another part of him couldn’t stand him.
Ed really should have seen this coming. How could you not be absolutely smitten? He was everything he wish he had an iota of. 
Batman is intelligent, strong, fast, and assertive…
Meanwhile, Edward Nashton is just dull, awkward, quiet, and weird…what the hell did you see in him anyway? 
“Eddie? Everything okay?” 
Your sweet voice knocked him out of his reverie. He was back on the couch with you, watching the news of the Batman’s latest escapades. 
“Oh…uh…y-yeah I’m fine..” 
You quirked your eyebrow, not sure if you were going to accept that answer. 
“He is incredible…” Ed commented as he turned his attention back to the screen of Batman narrowly escaping a gang of thugs in a high speed chase on the highway.
Oh, that’s what it was. For all the admiration one can have for another, there’s still that habit of comparison mentor to mentee. 
“Yeah, he’s all right. But I bet he’s an absolute stick in the mud and not nearly as intelligent as a certain handsome fellow I know.” You scooted closer to Edward on the couch and even sold the comment with an actual nudge into his side. 
Edward noticed you got closer and was confused when you nudged him. Then he took in what you said. He lifted his head up a little with a soft smile on his face. 
“You…you prefer me to Batman?” “I prefer you over everyone and anyone else, Eddie. If I had a choice, it will always be you.”
Gotham Riddler:
The GCPD was full of eligible bachelors. Mostly guys just looking for a good time or friends with benefits. 
You were too good for them, all of them really. Even too good for Edward. Yet he was able to woo you somehow. Despite the two of you being in a very obvious relationship, with approval from Gordon, Lee, even Bullock…it didn’t stop some officers from trying to disrupt what you two had. 
Edward was coming up to your office to take you out to lunch. However, he was surprised to see an overwhelming sight. 
Flowers, cards, letters were strewn all over your desk and overflowing to your floor. 
You looked up at him. Your eyes wide and your skin pale, like you had seen a ghost. 
“E-Eddie…I…I wish I could explain but...I have no idea…w-who these are from? Or w-w-what’s going on?” You looked around looking for any sort of indicator of who sent the gifts. 
Edward’s fists clenched, a snarl growing on his face. He stood there still as a rock, trying to keep his innate reaction to just run amok in the GCPD to find the culprit in tact. 
You noticed Ed was quiet for a long time. You noticed his tense expression and his thousand yard stare into the floor. 
“Y-You…you don’t…like them..do you?” Ed regretted asking it as soon as he grumbled it out through barred teeth. 
You sighed, sympathetically. Walking around the baskets and bouquets and made your way to him. 
“I would have adored them if they were from you, but they’re not. So as far as I’m concerned, these flowers can be re-sent to someone else or tossed. And the cards can go straight into the disposal…you don’t need to be jealous, sweetheart.” You gave him a reassuring kiss on the cheek. 
You smiled as you saw the tension all throughout his body slowly melt away from the kiss. 
Then, as if a lightbulb went off, Edward’s eyes widened in revelation. 
“W-Wait, before you throw anything away!” Edward went to your desk and gathered some of the cards and the bouquet. “While I still have my gloves on anyway…”
“What’re you doing?” 
“...gonna search for prints…” he mumbled quickly, so when you made out what he said he was already too far gone to catch back up with him.
BTAS Riddler:
Something was off with Eddie tonight. However, you couldn’t quite put your finger on it. 
“Eddie…you’ve been awfully quiet tonight…you know how much I love hearing your voice.” Which wasn’t an exaggeration either, and you did miss speaking to him. 
You saw him slightly shuffle his weight on the opposite end of the couch. 
“I’m fine…” 
“Eddie…I know when you’re not fine, sweetie. Please talk to me…” You fluttered your eyelashes at him, and poked out your bottom lip for good measure. 
Edward groaned in defeat. “I hate it when you do that…it’s too effective.”
“That’s why I do it.” You grinned. 
“I just can’t understand how oblivious you are, darling…you clearly couldn’t tell he was…was…”
“He who? Jervis?” 
Edward growled. “Yes…Jervis…”
“Eddie, he was just being polite!” 
“He didn’t have to kiss your hand.” He grumbled, crossing his arms defensively. 
“Aww, Eddie,” you scooted closer to his side of the couch. You wrapped your arms around him and snuggled into his side. 
“You don’t ever had to be jealous, darling. I will always love and adore you, no matter what…you know that.” You looked up at him, smiling reassuringly at him. 
He stole a glance into your eyes, and sighed. Edward knew it was ridiculous, but he couldn’t help it. He wrapped an arm around you and began rubbing your back. 
“I-I know…still doesn’t mean I have to like it though…” 
You snickered into his side as he chuckled along with you.
Zero Year/Capullo Riddler:
“You don’t need to be jealous, Eddie…”
Edward scoffed. “Jealous? Please, I’m not jealous of anyone.”
“So you just threatened my date with a bomb sent to his work place…for funsies?” 
Ed shrugged. “It’s been dull here, lately…and I haven’t been a public menace in a minute.” 
You rolled your eyes. “Well, I’m not stopping you, so stop keeping me from having a dating life!” 
“You don’t need to date anybody…” He grumbled under his breath. 
“Ed, you’re the one that said we weren’t-”
“I’m not going back on my word…I just…” He shrugged. 
“You just want me to focus on you, you needy bastard…”
He put his hand up with his index finger pointed out. “Ah, ah, that’s Mr. Needy Bastard to you…”
“Uh huh, sure…needy jealous bastard…” You smirked as you walked off. 
“I. Am. Not. Jealous! I’m the Riddler! I’m not jealous of anyone! If anything they’re all envious of me.”
“Did you choose to wear green cause you’re just knee deep in envy?” 
“I’m redirecting the bomb. It’s now going to your workplace.”
Twojar Riddler:
“Edward! Ed! Slow down!” You were running to catch up with him as he dragged you by the wrist back to the car parked along the sidewalk. 
He let out a frustrated sigh and let go of your wrist. Edward continued his steady pace as he rounded the car to go to the driver’s seat. You still stood there; confused and somewhat shaken from the sudden action. 
“Can you please get in the car?”
You walked up to the open window and leaned your head in. “Not until you explain what the hell is going on?” 
Ed grumbled. “I just want to go back home–”
“Was it that waiter?” Earlier in the evening a waiter made a couple passes at you while Edward was in the restroom and he walked in on the waiter trying to get your number.
Silence. Edward crossed his arms and sunk in the driver’s seat. 
“Oh my God, Ed…”
Edward rolled his eyes. “Will you, please just get in the car?”
Gotham City Sirens Riddler:
“Oh, hey there, Mr. Nygma. This is Mr. Sale, he called earlier about–” 
Edward barely heard what you said, his brain was too busy taking in the sights of the scene before him. You were sitting, slightly propped up on the edge of your desk. While the presumed, “Mr. Sale” was standing before you mere inches away. Your cheeks were flushed red possibly from laughing and whatever words were just transpired. 
Mr. Sale backed away and walked over to end, holding out his hand for a handshake. “Mr. Nygma! Such a pleasure to meet you!”
It took everything in Edward not to grimace outwardly. He could read this man like an open book. Rental three piece suit. Over-priced cologne. A faint oval outline where the skin was paler around his left ring finger. 
Armed with this, Edward knew his next plan of action. “Ah, well…I wish I could say the same for you, Mr. Sale. But I’m afraid I’m far too busy for your case.” 
Flabbergasted, Sale was gaping his mouth like a fish out of water. “B-B-But, you, you haven’t even heard my case! You can’t just–”
“Oh, but I can…privileges of owning a private firm. And I’m not about to waste my or my assistant’s time…running in circles…because you want to frame your wife of cheating to cover up your own infidelity.” 
“Oh, I can assure you, I’m not wasting your assistant’s time.” Sale stole a glance at you and winked. 
“I’m going to have to ask you to leave, Mr. Sale. Have a good day or not, I don’t care.” 
Sale was about to say something in defense, but growled in frustration instead and took off. He left the office with the slam of the door. 
You came up behind Ed and embraced him from behind. “You’re sexy when you’re jealous.” 
“Oh, please…I wasn’t jealous.”
You squeezed him a little tighter, giggling softly. “Whatever helps you sleep at night.”
Telltale Riddler:
“What are you staring at?” Ed asked. 
“Huh?” You were knocked out of your reverie with his question. You were looking out the window of your shared apartment. 
“You’ve been daydreaming out of that window for almost half an hour.” 
“Oh, uh, just people watching.” 
Edward looked up from his desk to you. He let out a frustrated sigh when he said, “hm, you could be more productive by assisting me…”
You turned to look at the man; annoyed and confused. “You just told me not to bother you, Ed.” 
“Annoying me and assisting me are two different things. Or you can go and people watch outside…and see what all the troubled idiotic youth is up to.”
Oh…poor Edward. No matter how many times he tried to shield it or ignore it. His age…the age gap between you two was something he was always weary of. 
You shook your head, scoffing in disappointment. You got up from your seat and walked over to his desk. 
“Nah, I’d rather not lose the brain cells, so whatcha working on Eddie?” 
Edward was surprised to see you come to his desk. He was almost certain you were going to walk out the door. 
“Well…for starters…ugh…could you please not sit on the desk! There’s a spare chair over in the corner!” 
You chuckled softly. “Yes sir, on it!”
Young Justice Riddler:
Who was he kidding, he didn’t stand a chance with you to begin with…
No matter how many times you genuinely checked in on him, kept him company, and included him where you could. All those open opportunities that were the building blocks to Eddie’s confidence in a relationship with you was completely knocked down before the foundation could even settle in. Thanks to this new Light recruit you were training. 
“Hey, Eddie!” You called out to him. You ran down the corridor to catch up to him.
“Why such a long face? I’m sorry I haven’t talked to you lately, things have been crazy!” You chuckled nervously. 
“Oh, uh…no worries. I-I get it..” 
“Hey, let me make it up to you! There’s this new place downtown that just opened. Wanna hang out and grab a bite there?” You offered. 
You did feel bad about leaving Eddie in the dark. Despite the increase in the Light’s numbers, training the newbies was taking up a lot of whatever free time you had. You missed talking to Edward, you could actually be yourself around him and not have a care in the world. Plus he was too damn cute for words. 
“Uuhh…umm but what about that newbie? D-Don’t you have plans with them?” Edward asked before he really had a chance to stop himself. 
You grabbed his shoulder to stop him from walking as you turned him around to face you. “Eddie...what’re you talking about?” 
“I-I-I didn’t mean to assume something…I-I-I just noticed that you-you were spe-spending a l-lot of time with th-them and the-they seem to like you..a lot..” 
You put your fingertips up to his lips to seize his nervous panicked rambling. 
“Eddie…” You sighed. “I’m just training them. Yeah, they flirt, but I rebuke them. There’s nothing going on outside of training.” 
“Really?” He mumbled behind your fingers. 
You chuckled. “Yes, really. Besides, I’m interested in someone else. I have been for awhile actually.” You slowly removed your fingers from his lips. 
“W-Wait, really? Uh...who?”
Your eyes widened when you realized he really didn’t get it. Bless him, this absolute dork. 
“It’s you, Eddie.” You stated, figuring bluntness was the way to go as you sealed the confession by taking your hand in his.
You felt his hand slightly tighten around yours. “Wa-really?” He almost squealed. 
You did everything you could to not bust out laughing. You shook you head, trying to shake the giggles. “Yes, you. Now, about our first date…”
Hush (DCAU) Riddler:
Needless to say, Edward was jealous of everyone. He would never admit it, but he was. Secretly, seething, he despised most everyone. Especially those that had things he didn’t. Strength, power, influence, perfect health. Perfect health…
“Hey, Eddie!” You came through the door, dropping your belongings and stepping out of your work shoes. 
He didn’t deserve you he really didn’t. He wouldn’t blame you if you dropped him and left him for your co-worker at work that obviously has the hots for you. Of course you were too kind and rather oblivious to see that, but he adored you for that all the same. 
“Hey sweetie,” he greeted back half-heartedly. “How was your day?” 
“Oh, same old same old. Although, something weird happened, you know that co-worker I told you about? Scott? The one that’s been super friendly?” 
Through gritted teeth, Edward nodded. “Y-Yeah, I do…what about him?” 
“He asked me out to dinner tonight, it was so random…I thought he was just being friendly…to be friends.” You shrugged as you plopped beside Edward on the couch. 
Edward could feel his fist slightly clench in frustration. 
“Y-You said no…though right?” 
“Edward!” You practically squealed in disbelief. “Of course I told him no! I have you! I’d never do such a thing.”
“I-I know…I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, that wasn’t right of me to ask…” He sighed in defeat. “I…I haven’t been in the best mindset as of late.”
You nodded. “It’s okay, when you’re ready we can talk about it. But for all the questions and riddles in this world, don’t you dare question my feelings for you…okay?” 
You leaned your head on his shoulder and wrapped your arm around his waist and embraced him in a side hug. 
“Okay, sweetie. I won’t, I promise.”

Abby Monteil at Them:
The Australian children’s show Bluey is the latest object of right-wing outrage for briefly acknowledging that queer kids and families are everywhere. The season three finale of the wildly popular cartoon, which aired April 14, centered on the show’s eponymous blue heeler puppy coming to terms with her family moving into a new house amid a wedding. However, the episode quietly introduced some LGBTQ+ representation as well: Bluey’s friend, a chihuahua named Pretzel, opened up about his pet guinea pig running away and casually mentioned having two moms. “My mums told me he might come back, but he didn’t,” Pretzel said. It may be a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, but hey, some kids have two moms, so why not nod to that fact in a subtle, organic way? The widely viewed show has been criticized by Australian viewers for lacking diversity so here’s hoping this brief mention of the off-screen mums is just a first step toward more representation. After the episode dropped, the show’s many adult fans flocked online to express their excitement over the moment. On IMDb, the episode, entitled “The Sign,” scored a 9.9 out of 10 average based on nearly 1,000 user ratings.
“This is what I’ve been waiting for 🥰🥰🥰🥰,” one TikTok user commented on a video about the scene. “As a gay chihuahua mum that makes me happy 🏳️‍🌈,” another wrote. Unfortunately, even a one-off mention of a cartoon character’s two moms was enough to set off conservative trolls. The Daily Wire culture reporter Megan Basham blasted the moment on X, writing, “I’ll be honest, sometimes the glee LGBTQ activists take at seeing the destruction of something that was once wholesome, something that championed mothers and fathers and children’s need for both, is really demoralizing.”
Aussie cartoon Bluey introduces an LGBTQ+ family for a brief cameo in its season 3 finale.

Palestinians used as Guinea pigs by Israeli weapons makers:
The Israeli army released footage on October 22 of its Maglan commando unit deploying a new precision-guided 120mm mortar bomb called the Iron Sting, against Hamas in Gaza. The bomb’s Haifa-based manufacturer, Elbit Systems, has been advertising its qualities on the public relations page of its website since March 2021, when it was integrated into the Israeli military.

closed starter for @olivcrashford who: maya jackson and oliver ashford where: latte love, just before closing time
Tumblr media
It was almost closing time and the soft glow of the evening sun cast a golden hue over Latte Love. Maya loved the way the light filtered through the large windows and just made the entire café feel magical. The café was quiet, with most of the customers having left for the day. The only person remaining was Oliver, who sat by the window, absorbed in his latest sketch. Maya glanced at the clock, and then over at Oliver, a smile tugging at her lips. She’d gotten used to his presence during these late hours and welcomed the company. She wiped down the counter one last time before grabbing a plate with a fresh cranberry orange scone. She walked over to Oliver’s table and set the plate down in front of him. “Hey Oliver. I have a new pastry I’m testing out. Thought you might want to be my new guinea pig?” she said with a playful smile. “Sketch anything good today?”
