#How do I tell my MCs they're both losers-

[littlestardescendants]

Yalls I don't know who the bigger loser is:

Mara for being in love with a Magical Fail Wife or Mirjami for having an ancestor who was such a whore people are still weeping over his cock :v

Max Photo booth Essay

This arc builds dread so well.

Julian: Man, I still don't get it... but okay. You always know what you're doing.

You look across the pool patio to where Max is pouring you an iced lemonade. He grins warmly at you... and, in that moment, all you feel is confusion.

MC: ...yeah. I know what I'm doing.

-The Bad Boy

Everyone knows this is a bad idea, and even Max and the MC seem more stressed out than usual throughout this story. Yet the player can still see why they're trying to make it work.

Intro

I told you I'd be back with an essay, u/OkObligation4508

I'm using "you" to refer to the main character, "the player" for whoever plays this quest, and "I" for myself, the writer of this essay.

You believe in people, often before they believe in themselves. Your kindness, resilience, and assertiveness inspires those around you to become better.

Class President: Hey, I'm just trying to follow your example.

MC: What do you mean? I haven't started any clubs...

Class President: I mean by doing my part to make this school a better place! Your reputation precedes you, MC! You help out every student who needs it...So I want to be as helpful to this school as you've been to me!

-Hail to the Chief

And you're discerning enough to recognize when someone is ready for a second chance. You were the first person to trust Wes because you saw how worried he was about Autumn. You're almost always the first to trust and forgive. And you're almost always proven right.

You would think you can change him. Because you change people all the time.

The Formula

There's a certain way this always goes. You meet a character who lives under high expectations, and acts in damaging ways to live up to them. How much they've questioned their box varies, but on some level they know they don't want this. It could be as harmless as hiding their real smile (Phoebe) or as cruel as manipulating someone for weeks just to humiliate them at a fancy party (Chase). But it always goes the same way.

You're very perceptive to insincerity. You won't press them for answers, but you point out when their words don't match what they seem to want from life. You may be lightly mocked when they mistake you for naive, but they also trust you enough to tell you what they actually care about. Then you introduce them to some of your friends. In game mechanics, you send specific classmate types on this quest. In story terms, you look for the people who's lives and perspectives will challenge this person's worldview.

You've shown them proof (people might accept them/the world is kinder than they thought/they don't have to put up with bullies/they don't have to be ruthless to succeed/failure doesn't make them worthless). Once you've shown them people who aren't what this cynic imagined, you're really able to encourage them.

In the end they're faced with a choice, between the safety and regret they've always known, or kind and perilous hope.

This is not that story. Max isn't some sheltered stranger who doesn't know another way to be. He knows your friends already. He knows the cost of freedom. Mia is right there,paying the price every day, fighting with both him and their dad, defying the family to do what she knows is right. And that's a huge transformation from who she used to be.

Kara: You were always such a pushover, Mia.

-Road to the Playoffs

Mia: I admired her, and her opinion meant everything to me! I would've done anything for her. And she knew it. She used me like a pawn.

-Cheer Camp

Her life is harder, but she has real friends and real courage now.

Winners

At first "loser" might not seem any more significant than other pg insults like lame, dork, or dweeb. But both Mia and Max make it clear that a loser is the worst thing a Warren can be.

Mia: In this house, we're WINNERS. What do we train for? To WIN. If you want hugs and cuddles, go live with your mother!

-The Final Challenge

Max: What gave you that idea? It's all about winning, MC. Just like my dad always says. Doesn't matter what you're doing, you gotta be the best, and be ready to prove it.

-The Bad Boy

The Warren name isn't as restrictive as it would seem at first glance. Max is actually quite a silly, attention-seeking, theatrical person. He pretended to be southern for no reason in mock trial. He convinced your school to carve an ice sculpture of himself. He tied for first in a beauty pageant. For his audition, he got on stage and barbecued.

But he mocks theater because Nick is very talented, and if they acted together, everyone would know Max isn't the best at something. It's anti-curiosity. It's cowardice. Max and Kara talk like being a loser is contagious.

Max: Nick, my man. What are you doing slumming it with these ~dweebs?~

-Drama King

Kara: Why am I even surprised? You guys are total losers. Of course you'd hang out with someone like Ellie.

-Who's That Girl?

Max: Whatever. Nice costumes, losers. I guess dorks like you just gravitate to each other, huh?

-Monster High School Story

And this was Kara's experience of their relationship.

Kara: But YOU'VE changed, too! You may have always been a jerk, but you were never a jerk to ME. WE were a team! We made fun of people TOGETHER.

-The Victory Banquet

They put themselves on a pedestal then made fun of all the losers beneath them. Similar dynamic with Lacey. He relates to other status obsessed bullies and that became his whole life. Hearst enables all of his worst behaviors.

But Max hasn't been a winner since you got here. I think Max saw Mia's growth and decided he wanted to be a hero too. We see it in moments like this

Max: I'll save you!

Max picks you up in his arms!

MC: Um... I'm already saved.

Max: There's no need to be afraid! I got you.

MC: The water is literally three feet deep and totally calm.

-Rapid Romance

and the dialogue in other quests that changes if you've completed his date quests.

Max: And?

MC: And... I'd be grateful.

Max: Then it's Max Warren here to save the day.

-Mutual Enemies

If winners must surround themselves with winners, then heroes must be around other heroes.

So he asked out the most heroic person he knew. You.

Playing the Part

The tricky thing is, when he says he just wants a chance, he really does mean it. It's not insincere, it's just shallow. Giving Creatures and Caverns a chance is something the old max never would have done, but he's only doing it for you.

MC: Still... maybe I'm rushing things. Probably wasn't the best idea to drag you to something geeky with my friends.

Max: I think it ~was~ a good idea. I'm never going to care what people think of me, but... if something's important to you, it's important to me.

Max: Look, you know me. Since the day you got here, you've known what I'm all about. But I know you, just as well. I know what you care about.

Max: And I knew what I was getting into when I fell for you.

-The Friend Test

MC: But seriously, I liked it better when you were sharing stuff with me, not just trying to impress me. Like when we were looking at those baby pics.

Max: You like it when I share stuff? Hmmm...

-Rapid Romance

There's no real difference between when he stopped revving his car engine because it bothered you and when he came back to this game. No difference between getting you flowers and showing you the bioluminescent cave, because you said you liked seeing this side of him.

Max: Just so you know, I'm not going to stop trying to impress you, MC. That's just who I am. I ~want~ to impress you. If anything, I'm only going to try to impress you even more now.

-Rapid Romance

You think it's sweet, but that's actually the problem. Until you break up, Max is willing to do anything but ask himself a question.

Max: Look... MC, from the moment you came to this town, you changed everything, just like ~that,~ and made it fit your picture-perfect world...

Max: Everything but me. You can't fix me.

-Falling For You

And that is the most honest Max has been. That's why the formula fails. When you facilitated change in other people, you listened to what they cared about, and showed them proof their life could be different. But at the end of the day, they were willing to look at the consequences of their actions and decide this isn't who they wanted to be. They become better versions of themselves, and live according to their values and interests.

But Max is playing a part. He couldn't be a winner, so he tried to be a hero. Couldn't get his dad's approval, and tries for yours instead. He tried to fit into your picture-perfect world. He didn't want to change, he wanted to be fixed.

Okay had to make a list and do this proper. Please provide a snippet of It Could Have Been Me. The people need to know!

And I want whatever you’ll give me about:

- Suresh something something

- Couples therapy

- Arjun After Hours

Maybe I missed it but was the Bobby Marisol fic left off this list 👀

Okay 🤣 This is gonna be forever long. You know I can't summarize!

If It Could Have Been Me: Noah's wanted her for far too long and he finally has her. For now.

Her walls clenched around him as he let himself succumb to the magic and madness of her sweet body. Poetry and music and lines from old books flooded his head, but they didn’t make any sense. They were a sensual muddle of noise and words. A rolling, tumbling jumble of feelings that weren’t namable. Weren’t even knowable. And without the ability to name them, he became feral. Savage. Utterly unable to find the civilised man that needed those artful things to make sense of the world. There was no more sense. There was only her. Fucking her.  Loving her. 

Suresh Something Something: MC, a very popular islander, was shockingly dumped by public vote. In a Love Island first, the fans were so upset by the abusive way she'd been treated on the show, they banded together and voted her off out of concern for her emotional health. At the 6 month reunion, she thanks fans for caring so much and announces that on her flight home from the dumping, she met another Love Island alum and they've been dating ever since. It's either Lucas or Arjun. They bring him out and he's head over heels for MC and proposes on air. Suresh has a complete melt down about it and posts up on the guy who isn't the least bit intimidated. Arlo, humiliated by Suresh's behavior, punches him in the face. Did I brainstorm all of that JUST to have him get punched by a semi-pro boxer? Yes. Yes I did.

Couple's Therapy: MC is in the waiting room for her first couples therapy appointment, but her fiancé hasn't shown up. Seb's girlfriend also hasn't shown up. To their confusion, they end up getting called together for their visit because Seb and her boyfriend have nearly identical names. They're both too mortified to tell the therapist and just play along, like they're an actual couple. They end up going to many therapy appointments together as if they were a real couple, and they learn how to communicate and end up falling in love.

Arjun After Hours: Arjun goes into CA with an agenda. Pick the easiest to convince girl, get into the villa, get famous, and prove his family wrong about what a loser he is. But meeting Olivia, brilliant and unbearably loyal, throws a wrench in everything. He falls hard and tries to hint at the truth he's not allowed to tell. Her relationship is a joke. Her partner has been using her since day dot and her so called bestie has been sabotaging her. Despite falling just as hard for him, she won't believe it and chooses loyalty. Heartbroken, Arjun returns to his life of dog grooming and disappointed parents. So imagine his surprise when he gets a knock on the door...

Oh, and no, the Bobby/Marisol story wasn't missing. It was in the section of active WIPS I believe. The sex scenes are too good (and horrifying) to leave unfinished 🤣

God, I forgot how fun these story ideas were. Thank you for the ask, my friend! And thank you to anyone who managed to read all of that 😘

[hirokiyuu]

ok i did a huge ship meme for fun. if you read it u have to like this post. also i have more thoughts under the cut

some of these are copy pasted from twt so if u saw it there u can read them again i guess. theres some new ones also. perish by my hand

at a glance

yuujin calls leona "leona-san" until theyre both old n gray. they probably try "leona" a few times but it feels weird to them. leona's fine w/this

love languages are what they prefer to receive rather than what they naturally give wwww if it were that way around id switch it LOL. high natural compatability

"problematic a bit" in the sense of. well. if youve played twst. youve met leona. u see how he acts around mc at first. u kno.

dynamic stuff

i dont think leona would've had a Relationship relationship before. fwb? fucking around w/ppl? sure. but a Relationship? sounds like too much work

yuujin meanwhile had World's Shittiest Not Boyfriend before isekai'ing. mostly fwb but yuujin did have feelings and also he was the only person yuujin was ever like. emotionally close to beyond their sister. so

? on caretaker for leona bc its definitely not Traditional Caretaking but he does put in the work to help yuuin in ways they do really need. still.

? for yuujin mostly bc if they had to do more caretaking like they did for their sibs theyd die but also they do help leona how they cna. u kno how it is

re:attachment, theyre both independent but yuujin is more likely to pull Away if shit happens while leona is more likely to get territorial (lol) this is probably the only thing that ever causes any real fights

idk if i'd call it "wants to Corrupt yuujin" but leona definitely does sometimes wish they were less of a good person. not always. but sometimes.

nsfw stuff

being used is situational for yuujin bc when theyre into it theyre Really Into It but theres also a chance itll trigger them really badly. u kno how it is

my pillow princess leona agenda strikes again

i htink leona is in theory fairly ambivalent abt topping/bottoming but in practice if he tops he's expected to do more work. so.

theyre both shameless during sex but occasionally yuujin will remember they have Feelings for this guy and this guy has Feelings for them and they'll get flustered. they can nad will talk abt sticking their tongue up this man's ass w/o batting an eye but the moment anything abt Liking each other comes up? they get a little shy LMAO

the sex is pretty good for both of htem but again. leona is lazy. yuujin is hte one doing all the work.

particulars

re:things to change, if leona were a more classically Good Boyfriend (ie more demonstrative, trying harder, more obvious w/his feelings etc) yuujin would absolutely run. so. leona's personality is a good (?) thing

engagement

(looks at the checklist) (points at leona) Go King Give Us Nothing!

the one abt killing the other is v like. dependent on timeline i think. leona might be more willing at first but over time i dont think hed be able to.

yuujin is technically the pursuer in their rship at first but leona definitely catches the Big feelings before yuujin does. lmao. eat shit loser

tbh their communication style from the outside probably looks pretty callous. a lot of talking Around things and giving each other shit to hide the fact they both Hate talking straightforwardly in some respects. the kind of couple that never ever once say 'i love you' to the other even tho they're both aware they do (eventually)

they touch a lot, in terms of pda they're not obnoxious but usually leona will have a hand on yuujin's back or yuujin will be on his arm or w/e. leona generally initiates if theyre out in public but yuujin doesnt mind they just dont start it usually wwwwww

re:expectations, i actually dont think leona expects too much from Yuujin Specifically, just in general. but also. in some ways i dont think he believes he'll get it. if that makes sense

OK THAT WAS REALLY REALLY LONG if u read this whole thing thank u tell me if u like them. i am rotating them constantly

[obi-wan-hoe]

One of my favorite moments in MC is Hurrem telling Mahidevran she's going to die soon. Mahidevran seemed stunned, because despite all of this animosity and bitterness she had for Hurrem, I can't help but feel like she saw her as this force of a woman, and to be told her end is near, it's almost inconceivable. Especially by a disease, it doesn't seem the way Hurrem would go (she isn't explicitly told, but I think it was a somewhat logical conclusion to come to). In comparison to when Mahidevran sees Suleyman in the marketplace, it's as if she knew there was no other way for him to end (old, frail, alone).

There is so many other things I enjoy too. While I would have loved to see Meryem's Hurrem do the scene, to close off the chapter of her rivalry with Nur's Mahidevran, I thought Vahide's portrayal was amazing. She showed how much Hurrem had grown from the beginning, not only by being calm and collected, but by accepting that the top of the harem wasn't all it was cracked up to be. But her maturity I think is shown most when she genuinely doesn't seem to enjoy seeing how low Mahidevran had fallen, in terms of status and living situation. She too seemed taken aback and almost sad, as if she couldn't fathom her enemy this way either. The bow at the end was a great show of respect too.

There was also the realistic feelings of Mahidevran, not just being all happy to see an old enemy, but by understandably resentful as she was considered the loser, and Hurrem the winner, which was at least visibly the better option and at least allows Hurrem to understandably act with more grace in the beginning.

~ Hurrem's nervousness of asking for forgiveness, knowing there's a big chance she may not get it, and it goes beyond maturity. Hurrem was dying, and was at a place where she needed to get everything in order, Mahidevran was not. Also, I did like how they both seemingly acknowledged that while the other forgave them, they were not washed away from the terrible things they'd done.

~ The realization that they're both mothers, that their children may not have driven them to play the game in the beginning, but they certainly had by the end. Hurrem telling Mahidevran that they should kill each other where they stood if it would bring them some relief from the pain was a masterful moment.

Overall, both woman may not have always liked one another, but they definitely understood their opponent was never one to be taken lightly. It was almost as if they both had thought the other was beyond the rules in which the others were beholden too.

Anywhos this got way longer than I'd anticipated and if anyone sees this, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this scene.

AND DONT YOU KNOW HOW SWEET IT TASTES? BKGs group![YN]s group | masterlist | one

bakugos (unwanted) friend group! surprisingly they can handle him pretty well and NOT die but his hands, his personal pr team when he fucks shit up.

BAKUGO , KATSUKI ; hero name: Dynamight QURIK: explosion Second biggest All Might fan, secretly a new jeans stan. Hid his spotify wrapped from everyone when new jeans came up #1 on his most played artist. When nwjns did visit UA, he became a fan. Listens to their music while working out.

MIDORIYA , IZUKU ; hero name: Deku QURIK: One for All Katsuki's closest friend since childhood, made up what ever yaoi series they had since childhood by the end of their first year. Is the only one who knows that Katsuki is a tokki, Owns an All Might stan acc on the side and has his username based after bakugo telling him to khs. He still teases him after that day.

KIRISHIMA , EIJIROU ; hero name: red riot QURIK: hardening Second closest friend of Katsuki, how? idk 🤷‍♀️ but they're close. His voice of reason and ability to not get the blonde in trouble has the rest of the world blessed. A shared friend between the mcs. Likes when both Katsuki and [YN] cook everyday.

KAMANARI , DENKI ; hero name: chargebolt QURIK: electricity Somehow survived being friends with the blonde, the only ONE that likes nwjns publicly. Knows that bakugo does too, because he caught him once listening to them and almost died that day. Since then, Bakugo has calmed down on hitting him due to blackmail.

ASHIDO , MINA ; hero name: pinky QURIK: acid Bakugo's wingwoman and unpaid pr intern, makes sure to make sure bakugo messes up (JOKINGLY) in order to get fired. #girlkisserno2, flirts with [YN] when she can and helps the blonde how to get girls so he doesn't become a loser and dies bitchless.

TODOROKI , SHOTO ; hero name: shoto QUIRK: fire & ice Least sane person in the group, how he became friends with katsuki? i do not know, the second voice of reason, but more blunt and to the point. spends money that isn't his (dads) on his friends just because, follows accs that criticize endeavor, and stalks stan twt, especially for proherotwt.

URARAKA , OCHACO ; hero name: uravity QUIRK: zero gravity #girlkisserno1. is THE girls girl in the class, and became friends with katsuki due to izuku. hates when people hates on her friends. The sweetest person you can come up too. The most understanding person in the group, you can probably come up to her for help, emotionally, she'll probably have answer. Katsuki tolerates her more than the others.

[h0neylevi]

gonna be a 100% honest, only levi stans care abt how popular he is 😭 like he's my fav too but I cannot stand any levi community w minors especially on twitter bc they make him the poor guy when he's literally the gojo of aot...... I love him bc he's badass obv and is well written w a tragic past but so does literally eren??? did we not watch the same show??? I feel like they're pretty complex in dif ways to me and I enjoy both characters even if I prefer levi a little bit more. everytime I encounter a levi stan they feel superior over a mere fictional character???? as in "oh I like the most liked guy haha eren is such a loser" like??? why do 90% of the levi stans hate eren so much like yea levi is popular and thats great many ppl can see he has a great character but at the end of the day eren is not any less complex and cool??? and for some reason when I argue w levi stan that makes him look like some poor kitty (well i do feel bad for him many times but yk the babying and innocent image of himnon twt) they tell me that eren made stupid decisions as if you'd know what to do perfectly when ure 16 and know you're gonna die within 3 years. eren haters are usually also the same ones who wish death upon gabi.... sorry for the rant lol but this just isn't a happy anime and every character has flaws. it's stupid to hate on the mc for that 😦

you gotta be new here because literally the only one here blowing up about Levi’s popularity is a hardcore Eren fan going around to all of the Levi blogs and harassing them about his supposed lack of popularity lol. I’m assuming you’re not the same person so I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.

I think the key points that you’re missing in all of that is ‘Twitter’ and ‘minors’ tbh

Twitter is a cesspool where it feels like people join in on pointless debates and arguments for no reason. I’m not trying to invalidate what you’ve experienced but I would caution you not to lump every single Levi fan (or Eren fan or whoever else for that matter) in as one entity that all shares the same opinion. Like anything else, the loudest people are the ones who get heard and I have never in my four or five years of participating in this fandom run across a Levi fan who has cared about his popularity. Just like I have never met an Eren fan (apart from the anon who’s been harassing Levi writers for weeks) or an Erwin fan or a mikasa fan etc who cares about their favorite character’s popularity.

It’s children. Because when you’re a child, you care about being popular and you care about the popularity of others. And that’s not saying that they’re stupid or silly or whatever, because that’s just how kids are. I cared about that kind of shit when I was a kid too.

And of course they’re all complex characters. They’re all tragic too in their own unique ways. But someone focusing on their special character that they particularly like above the rest doesn’t mean that they think the other characters aren’t also complex and unworthy of attention. It’s just that they like that one dude and want to spend their time focusing on him.

Tl:dr: y’all just gotta live and let live. If someone’s doing something that you don’t like or agree with that they enjoy and it isn’t harming anyone, move on. Pretty basic shit.

[sketchguk]

Hi it's soulmate anon! Omg I kept checking back for a few days to see if you responded but you didn't. Then I stopped checking and you did 😭😭😭 Why does the universe hate me????? About the fic idea eheh I've been thinking about it even when I daydream!!! I really like Queen Charlotte series, so I was thinking something like that where they marry for convenience. But soonyoung and mc know each other from childhood or atleast teenage because they're both royals and soonyoung has liked her from before ( I have a specific scene in mind for this skskskssk tell me to explain if you want to hear!!) But mc doesn't like this arrangement for some reason ( I don't know what yet 😔) and so she doesn't even give him a chance like ..... They get married but she makes it clear she doesn't respect this marriage. There's more I thought but this is just the jist!

Also I always get confused that you're active but i think you queue your posts 😂 Do you log in only once a week or like that??? Is there anywhere else you're active 😔

Anddddd how is everyone in Hogwarts au doing?? I miss them I love them so much please give me some small crumb about them I'm begging 😭😭😭

I'm going to check your blog everyday so I don't miss your reply again !!!!!! It makes me wanna make an account itself LOL but if you're not active it won't make sense even then 😔

oh no i'm so sorry i took so long to answer !! i queue one post a day at 8pm est !! i don't have a schedule as to when i'm online otherwise >.< do you really check tumblr without an account ?!! :0 i'd recommend you make one so that you can keep up with content creators !! and you can save your favorite fics/posts on your blog <3

marriage of convenience is such an S tier trope 🤝 don't tease me with a scene and not go into details !! i wanna hear more, of course !!! i need to know all about this royal soonyoung <33 (btw he looks sooo good this comeback. i'm obsessed with him and he is neither my bias nor my bias wrecker, but he is the coolest dude in my eyes) !!

even though your mc doesn't like the arrangement, how does she treat soonyoung? :0 does everyone see her as someone kind and sweet, but she loathes the man she's tied to? LOL (ravenclaw mc vibes !!). or does she hate everyone.. and especially soonyoung LOL. OR is she distant from him, although she can't stop herself from liking him !!!

AGH royalty aus are seriously so delicious. please tell me more about your own au !!! i will d*e if i don't have a new hyperfixation LOL

in regards to the hogwarts au, have you seen the gose comeback special? they're role-playing students, and seokmin wants to recruit the members to join the orchestra LOL. i imagine gryffindor soonyoung wanting to infiltrate one of mc's clubs even though he doesn't fit in ahaha. this man has no business joining student government or herbology, but he's standing his tallest and doing his best :') mc stares at him dumbfounded because he's unbelievably loser boy coded. she grumbles throughout the whole club meeting, but he smiles so proudly because he snagged the seat next to her LOL

other club members shoot him weird looks, and they gossip about him not having the qualifications to be here !! but if there's one thing that mc hates more than soonyoung, it's the way other people poke fun at him !!! like yes he is a himbo, and he can't be serious for one second, but only she can tell him off !!!! >:( (she also really hates injustice, so these people have no right to put him down when they're making harsh judgments). mc defends soonyoung by being snarky to those bullies >:( and they never open their mouths again aha

[6okuto]

How would the LL gang look after an s/o who has really bad headaches and period pains?

(feel free to ignore this :))

afab but gn!reader note from nia: naurr if this is any of u rn...i am wishing u luck. take care of urselves :100: i asked my friends how to deal with this so i hope i'm sort of accurate ouagh je suis desolee i actually . don't get period pains imsorry im sor

i'd rank them but it's really anisa then. The Other Two. sage is better with the periods and felix is better with any headaches

first of all bless anisa she's truly here to save the day

unapologetically tells sage and felix to either be quiet or leave if they're making mc's headache worse

watches to make sure they don't overexert themself. very empathetic and lets them take breaks when they need to. probably Makes them take breaks sometimes because she knows how unbearable it can get

shares all of her own tricks and remedies that she's picked up over the years since mc wouldn't have any of their own,, modern fixes

even though she's busy (#girlboss!) she always manages to make time to check in on them, asks if they want to spend the day with her just to make it easier for both of them

she makes sure they're drinking enough water and eating well (might indulge them every now and then if they look sad enough)

omg human heater anisa . who needs a heating pad when she can wrap her arms around you instead

taking a nap with her (╯︵╰,) they're Both finally resting Now

Anisa Kissing Their Head....anisa.... kissing their stomach? somebody knock me out

mc making a "i think i'm going to die" joke and she laughs a little before kissing them and promising she'll make sure they survive

and yes both sage and felix have sisters but i feel like felix helping/dealing with scylla on her period was less of a situation than sage and tulsi ? especially since tulsi is the Younger sister

also there's no way tulsi would let him talk shit about periods LOL

he'd have a good idea of what they're going through (but ngl the idea of slapping him onto those memes that say "aight babe i'm in the pad aisle what size you wear lol" is very funny to me)

unironically asks if they'd like to do some exercise but makes sure it's light if they say yes

loser would hear about heating pads and try to lay on their stomach and say he's basically like a big one

if they mention a headache or any pains he drags them away from whatever they were doing . it's time for quality time with their boyfriend! (a nap maybe)

tries to distract them with dumb stories and jokes while they cuddle

he's easier to exploit for help now. BFSFBSJ he'll get up to get water or food or whatever else they need at the sight of a pout

not pain related but he gets up to change and clean the sheets if they bleed through with no hesitation. says something about his Line Of Work letting him see much worse than a bit of a stain. pretends to be offended that they'd think he'd be upset about it

felix may not be well-versed in the period pain problem but !! the headache situation is up his alley ,, he spends that much time reading and studying he's found ways to stop his eyes and head from hurting as much after

he'd make them tea or refill their water when they drank it all. tells them to rest while he takes over whatever they were reading/doing

he checks up on them and mc can probably feel him glancing over a lot. he's not good at being sneaky when he's Concerned

he's already whipped for them but when they're actively in Pain? [slaps felix on the head] this boy will do anything they want. My Man,, the amount of cuddling he will enthusiastically do for free

reads up on different foods and remedies on his own time to surprise them ,, tries out recipes and makes sage taste test

would offer to try some more,, Magical options . at least the ones he's mastered and not the ones that might just make it worse

unlike anisa if mc made a "i think i'm dying" joke i think he'd genuinely tense up a little before taking a deep breath and reminding himself it's an exaggeration LOL poor guy

Part 12

You had called Wanda immediately after you were dressed. You asked her to meet you at Escorpión Morado as quickly as she could. She said she would be there with Nat right away.

The doors were open when you arrived, Sam having come in early to reorganise the bottles and boxes from behind the bar. He welcomed you as you entered, but could clearly see something was up.

"What happened?"

"I think Helmut just threatened to kill Stark."

"What!"

You sit down at the bar and catch your breath. Sam fetches you some water and then leans against the shiny new bar to listen to you.

"What happened?"

"Helmut explained everything about Tony and Heike. I listened to him. I'm not worried about Heike, Helmut proved to me he loved me and I'm not going to leave him like she did. This morning Strange came to important an gave this bullshit letter to me. Helmut read it, got pissed, and stormed off, telling me to meet him here. He said he was going to kill Stark."

"He won't kill him."

"Are you sure? He was so angry, Sam."

James comes out from the back and sees you both talking. He comes to stand beside Sam.

"What's up?"

Sam explains everything.

Wanda and Natasha show up about ten minutes later. Everyone but Helmut was present. Once everyone was caught up, Sam made everyone coffee and you all waited.

An hour passes by.

Thirty minutes later the window cleaners you hired show up. You let them get on with it.

Another hour.

"I have to call him," you pull out your phone. Wanda sits next to you, placing a hand on your shoulder.

There had been no word from Zemo and you were worried sick.

It rings.

And it rings.

And it rings.

He doesn't pick up. You drop your phone on the bar and bury your head in your hands.

Wanda rubs your back gently.

Natasha stands by the door and looks out. She watches the square. It's quiet, not even the locals were pottering about, but it was first thing Saturday morning.

Then, as if they knew Natasha was going to be waiting, someone comes around the corner and enters the square.

Heike. She's coming here.

Natasha pushes off the door and enters the restaurant again, coming to stand beside you.

"That woman is coming."

You sit up, spare a glance at Sam who stands in front of you, and then slowly turn in your seat. Your eyes narrow on Heike as she enters the restaurant.

She's dressed in a pencil skirt and blouse, small nude heels on her feet. She looked she was here to do business.

You stand from your stool. Wanda and Natasha flank either side of you. Sam stands up straight behind the bar and Bucky crosses his arms.

"What do you want?" You hiss.

"To talk to you."

"How unfortunate, I don't want to talk to you, so bugger off."

She clenched her jaw.

"Don't talk to me like that."

"Or what?"

"You should be nicer to people you don't know," she says, keeping her voice level, but you knew you knew you were irritating her.

"I don't have to be nice to wicked women who go around breaking hearts. He was in love with you."

"He told you?"

"Yeah, he did. We don't keep secrets."

"Evidently," she rolls her eyes.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Helmut came raging a storm at The Iron Grill this morning."

"Where is he? Is he still there? What happened?" You ask, urgently.

Her blank expression doesn't change.

"He's fine. They both are. Helmut punched Tony again. If he does that a third time there will be a lawsuit."

"Where is he?" You demand.

"I don't know. He left and I came straight here."

"Well, leave."

"Don't you want to hear what I have to say?"

"Not really, no."

She glares.

"You're appalling."

"Me?"

"Yes, you." She looks you up and down. "Ugh, what does he see in you?"

You didn't have an answer for her. You have no idea why you stood out to him, not really. You had just caught his attention one day and that way it.

"A kind, amazing, human being who values my thoughts, feeling and most of all, my cooking."

You look behind Heike to see Helmut.

You run quickly across the restaurant and jump into his waiting arms. He holds you to his chest tightly, kissing your temple.

"Helmut, you're OK!"

"Of course I am."

"An hour, you said.'

He cradles your face between his big warm hands.

"I know, I'm sorry, darling." He kisses your forehead.

Heike coughs into her fist.

You don't look at her, just bury your face in the crook of Helmut's neck. He keeps his arms around you as he looks at her.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to tell Y/N how much happier they would be if they took Stark's offer, and to try and convince them to convince you to sell the restaurant over to Tony. You're only going to lose in the end."

You shake your head against his shoulder.

"No, you'll be the losers here."

"You sound quite sure."

You lift your head and look at her.

"I am. We have put a lot of effort into this restaurant and we're going to prove it this weekend," you tell her.

"Is that so?"

You nod.

"On Monday the invites will be sent out. By Thursday the restaurant will be complete. On Friday the grand opening will happen. Sokovia will remember who was here first, and who they should be supporting."

Heike looks unimpressed.

"You should be careful what you say."

You smirk.

"You should be careful who you mess with."

She scoffs and turns to Helmut.

"We could have been great."

He narrows his dark eyes at her.

"Remind me again who left who at the alter."

She looks like she's about to throw a tantrum. Quickly, she turns on her heel and leaves.

You watch her go.

Once she is out of sight you wrap your arms around Helmut's neck and pull him down for a kiss. He returns the gesture eagerly.

Wanda smiles softly at the pair of you.

When you pull away, your brush your fingers through his dark hair and look at him.

"There's still a lot to do before we re-open."

He nods.

"I know. We better get started."

Wanda claps her hands and gestures to a box she had set in the table.

"These are the invitations, thought you should check them before we send them off."

You walk over and open the box.

You smile.

The card is a rich purple and the lettering is gold. They're perfect.

"Send those asap!"

She nods and closes the box.

Natasha presents to you another box, this one a bit bigger.

"I picked them up just as you asked."

You open this box and smile. You reach in and pull put the fabric which sits inside. You unfold it and hold it up.

"Aprons?" You hear James ask.

"Brand new aprons."

You hold one out to Bucky, hand one over to Sam, and then you turn to Helmut. His fingers brush against your as you hand it over. He smiles.

"Put them on!"

Helmut chuckles and puts it on, tying it securely around him. The aprons were black, Escorpión Morado sewn into them, and their names too.

"You had these made for us?" Helmut asks, looking up at you.

"Yes."

"Where's yours?" He asks.

You smile and turn back to the box.

"Right here."

Helmut takes the apron from your hands and gestures for you turn around. Slowly, he puts it on you. He ties it securely around you.

You turn around and show him.

"Beautiful."

You smile.

"Handsome."

He grins.

"We look good!" Sam states, looking at each if you.

Helmut smile as he faces you all.

"We don't have much time left. I'm counting on all of you to help make my father's restaurant the great place I remember it being when I grew up."

You smile proudly at him.

"Let's put Escorpión Morado back on the map!" You cheer.

The others cheer with you.

Helmut holds your hand as you reach out to him and he pulls you in for another kiss.

Sokovia will remember what this place once was, and Tony Stark won't see it coming.

[magicpumpkin3]

Always welcome!

And I'd like to add some of my opinion 2!

Aang:

As I said it, Malleus. Precious boy has no idea what's going on rn. Like, you can tell he's confused by a lot of things. Even though he's magic of being interesting character is strong he also, he needs to master all types of social interaction and friendship. But I believe that Malleus will be an emotionally available character!

Sokka:

Just my opinion but for some wierd reasons I think Sebeck would fit perfectly! Like...idk he gives out ~water tribe~ energy.

Katara:

Okay I'll sound lame but Silver. I feel like he's a "mum friend" so yeah. Yep, that's my reasons.

Note: Both Silver & Sebeck are from the same dorm as Malleus, so that gives me reason to believe that they're like 'family' to Malleus, just like Sokka & Katara were to Aang. And I also tend to believe that they have similar bond with eachother like avatar trio.

Toph:

Augh! Not gonna lie that's kinda tough to pick. Hehe- sorry. But if speaking seriously I think Leona would fit perfectly. Well...Not quiet perfectly but I can see resemblance between him and Toph.

Zuko:

You heard my opinion! Idia. Not. Explaining.

Note: In TV show it has been shown how actually similar Aang & Zuko are. Personally tend to think that Malleus & Idia are similar too. They both have social interaction problems but for different reasons. Kind like Aang and Zuko.

Uncle Iroh:

Idk. It'll sound silly but maybe Ortho? I honestly do not know whom that might be. It could be MC but in all honesty I'm not sure.

Azula:

Vil. Like... Just Vil.

Mai:

Epel. The mood. The energy. And both of them being sick of their lives 😂.

Ty Lee:

Rook. Do I need to elaborate?

Suki:

Jamil. He got the moves. He be swag. In all honesty idk why. He just seems to fit right in(?).

Turtle Lion:

I agree that it may be Lilia but I also think someone else could be them. Idk. Maybe MC since they were the first one to talk to him(?).

Cabbage man:

As we agreed with coffee depresso it might be Crewel but then I got an idea. Trein. He's expression says everything.

Lord loser Ozai:

Grimm. I swear. That fucker continues eating those wierd stones, some bad shit will happen. And he's sometimes an ass.

TWST Gang as Avatar Last Airbender

So I had a conversation with magicpumpkin3 (check out their post by the way-) which was after me posting Heartslaybul with a tea master s/o. And pumpkin tagged it as #uncle iroh who, which I burst into euphoria. And we had a whole conversation of who our twisted wonderland gang would be in ATLAB. So this was our assumption. Hope you enjoy!

Aang Caillou

A bit tough

I thought Grim would be a funny fit,

Pumpkin thought Deuce or Ace

Then he said Malleus is Aang.

I decided to go with Malleus because you would see from down this post later-

Katara

Can I say-

Maybe,

Just maybe-

Jade

because-

His brother 

Sokka

It’s Floyd.

They’re twins

Also imagine Floyd with a boomerang-

Woot-

Zuko

Okay-

I said Riddle cuz anger issues-

Pumpkin said Idia because Zuko is emo and is a firebender-

Honestly,

I can see both-

So I don’t really have a clear role.

Toph

I don’t know why

But Trey-

Maybe??? Cuz he can’t see without glasses, and I don’t know if he’s savage or not-

Idk who would fit Toph tbh?

Maybe Leona?? 

Idk I’ll let you decide-

Suki

To have no ships

Um-

Ruggie-

Cuz reflexes 

You might say he could’ve been Ty Lee,

But I have a way better candidate.

Azula

It’s Vil.

period.

Like is it not obvious???

They both radiated mean girl energy

And badass bitch energy-

Like ????

Best choice

Mai

Epel 

Moody

Can kill you

I mean-

Yes

Beautiful

Ty Lee

Frickin Rook

He got moves

The drama

woos the woman with fake french

He’s perfect candidate to become Ty Lee

My god-

The Ancient One (turtle Lion)

If Malleus is Aang,

The Ancient One is Lilia no doubt

He’s a grandpa

With   w i s d o m

Cabbage Merchant

The most important character

Me and Pumpkin took quite a while to think

But they said:

Crewel.

Their responds was:

“Because we always destroys his nerves”

*cues ugly hysterical laughter from me

Damn, this was short, but I had fun doing this, and mostly the chat I had with Pumpkin. Thanks Pumpkin for the random inspiration! And thanks for reading viewer!

[thirstyfortom]

Can I request a cute tickle war scenario with RFA+Saeran? Like maybe they're goofing off or they're asking questions to get to know MC and they notice her reaction even though she claims that she's not. And who would win the war between the members and MC? I love all the cuteness that goes on in MM 🙊🙈

Me too! ^^

So here it is, hope you like it! 

RFA + Saeran on a tickle war with MC

Zen

Hehas you under him on the couch, his hands on your sides and his hair moving onyour neck.

You’vestarted this when you two woke up, you placed your hands on his sides and heyelped with the tickles.

Figuringout he’s very ticklish was fascinating to you, so you kept doing even when hewhined you to stop.

Butyou didn’t stop, which made him declare tickle war against you.

“Iwould usually let a lady win, but you can’t get away with this, babe.” Hesmirked shaking his head so his hair could brush on your neck, you’re a whiningmess and some tears can be seen on the corner of your eyes.

Butyour whining sounds a lot like whimpers, which is making him very… aroused.

“Z-Zenny,ahh, stop it! Uhhh…” he widens his eyes and shifts to a sitting position, not daringto look at your eyes.

“Excuse,MC. I remembered I need to take a shower, a very cold shower…” and hesurrenders.

Maybeyou can’t beat him, but the beast can.

Yoosung

Hefigured out this was a bad idea halfway through the tickle war.

Whatwas he thinking? He’s even more ticklish than you, and now you’re on his lap,your fingers dancing on his neck.

Hewas trying to make you get up of bed, but you refused. Well, if sweetness won’tdo the trick, a few tickles will, right?

WRONG!You know all his weak spots, while he is still a little shy to touch you sodirectly, so he went to a war without knowing the enemy very well…

“Youcan’t ever wake me up like this! You got me?” you ask, he’s unable to formproper sentences with all the squirming and whining laughs.

Oh,he really won’t apologize? Okay, time for drastic measures. You move your handsto under his shirt, reaching his sides.

“Ohno, MC! Please, no! Your nails… your nails are too long!” oh shit! Did youscratch him? He looks at you, you can see tears on his glossy eyes… maybe youwent too far?

Youimmediately let him go. “Sorry, I… I didn’t mean to hurt you…”

“Youshould have finished this when you had the chance” he states attacking yoursides, making you laugh hard.

You’relaughing, but you can’t believe you fell for his puppy eyes again

Jaehee

Shenormally wouldn’t do this knowing how ticklish you are

Butyou asked her for it when you hid one of Zen’s DVDs just to mess with her, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Sonow she’s using her black belt abilities to keep you under her while herfingers fidget on your feet

Yousquirm and move your legs desperately, but you don’t want to kick her orsomething

“Tellme where it is, MC, and I’ll let you go!” “NEVER!!!”

Shemoves her hands to your sides, you still don’t give in. Goddamit!

“MC,just tell me, I can see the tears…” “They’re… tears of joy!” she scoffs, you’resuch a terrible liar!

Thiskeeps going on for a while, yet you’re unbreakable, hum… “Oh, MC, I’m startingto think you’re liking this.”

Andthen you look at her like… BUSTED. She is confused… why would you enjoy this?

Truthbe told, you love to see her so loosen up, so you may had exaggerated a littleon your reactions just so she could continue with this.

“Theheart wants what it wants…” “Well, my heart wants my DVD back” she tries totreat you coldly, but she’s failing miserably as you kiss her…yeah, she can’t really beat you like this

Jumin

He doesn’t even flinch under your touch, you know trying to tickle him would be such a waste of time and effort… maybe he is a robot after all.

But it’s not the same with you, as he knows all the ticklish spots on your body. Now you’re under him while he teases your hip bones

He generally doesn’t like teasing you like this, he has more sophisticated methods, but he needed an answer!

“Tell me, MC! What was the name of your kitty when you were a teenager?” you just told him it was a very ridiculous name, and he’s been dying to know, but you refused to tell him.

“N-No! You’ll laugh at me!” “Well, I’m laughing right now, what’s the difference?” he was laughing, indeed, this was odd.

“You’re very cute trying to resist me, but it’s useless, I can do this all day.” You know he’s not lying, shit! You can’t handle this all day!

In a desperate attempt to get rid of him, you fidget your legs and your feet ends up in his calve, he stiffens immediately, hum…

You do this again, and again there’s a reaction, you’re staring at him as you notice he got caught.

 Your eyes get darker, “MC, don’t do anything you’ll regret later.” he’s trying to sound serious, but you’re not even fazed. Even with his pants on, that part of his leg is apparently very sensitive…

He calls it a draw, but both of you know you won, as William Shakespaw’s name is still a secret to him.

Saeyoung

 Youknew you would be doomed soon, it was just a matter of time for him to find yourticklish spots

Ofcourse he’s constantly teasing you and getting whatever he wants with simpletouches on your sides or armpits

Thistime wasn’t different, you were brushing your teeth and he was trying to dragyou to bed so you could cuddle.

Youthought he would just kiss your cheek from behind, but his hands travelled toyour sides, you smacked him with your toothbrush, and now he’s looking at youwith mischievous eyes… shit, you shouldn’t have done that!

Hepins you in the wall and his hands are moving all around your sides, armpits,neck, hipbones, everywhere! How many hands does he have?

“Iwas just trying to get some cuddling, why do you have to make everything sodifficult, MC?” you’re squirming and tearing, you even swallowed the toothpasteon your mouth and your throat feels minty.

Youdon’t dare to look at him, you’re a blushing mess whenever you see his teasingsmile, but this time you looked and… oh, he has toothpaste on his cheek from whenyou smacked him with your toothbrush.

Youstare at him curiously, he’s staring back. “MC?” “You… have… something… here,let me get this for you…” you lean closer and lick his cheek, ERROR! 707.EXESTOPPED RESPONDING

He’sas red as his hair and he tightens a little the grip on your hips beforeletting you go.

“Okay,MC, I admit defeat, but just know you fought dirty.” “Would you call it a low blow?” “STOP IT!”

Heruns away from the bathroom when you start chasing him.

Saeran

Youtwo were watching TV side by side in the couch. He rarely cuddles, he just doeswhen he’s feeling reaaally needy or jealous.

Youaren’t paying much attention and keep messing on your phone. He, on the otherhand, is really interested on this scientific channel he found out.

Rightnow, a show about human body is on, explaining reactions like sneezing,hiccupping and tickling.

He’sfascinated about the fact that people can’t tickle themselves, he never thoughtabout that! You see him testing that hypothesis when he moves his hands to hisown sides. You want to squeal, because it’s so cute!

“Areyou ticklish?” he suddenly asks. “Why do you want to know?” you should know bynow that answering him with another question is not usually a good idea.

“You’reafraid I’ll try to tickle you?” “N-No?” “Great, so tell me or I’ll find out bymyself.”

Timeto run! He never seen you move so fast, which doesn’t mean he won’t chase youfaster.

 Youare on the floor squirming. “Maybe… here?” he tickles your neck. “Hum… here?”he moves to your armpits, and he keeps finding the ticklish spots one by one,you didn’t even know some of them, like the back of your knees. He’s veryfascinated too.

“Here, your turn.” He guides your hands to hissides, and as soon as you move your fingers a little, he tenses his body astells you to go on, and he bursts out a laugh, hiding his face on the nape of your neck. What’s happening? He neverlaughs like this!

“So…is this what they call a ‘tickle war’?” he asks. “Yeah… sorta. So, who won andwho lost?” “We’re on the bathroom floor on a Friday night, I guess it’s safe tosay we’re both losers, MC.”

That’s right, but neither of you care,anyways.
