#I GOT HAPPY JUMPS

[solifloris]

wings with xavier and one kiss with caleb pls!!

selfship asks — one kiss; you and your f/o's first kiss (ft. caleb/miki) & wings; a time when your f/o was really proud of you (ft. xavier/kaia)

SNIFFLES REESEEEE 🥺 HI 🥺 I LOVE YOU 🥺 AJFJAJFJS THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME YAP ABOUT THIS SOB....

one kiss — calmiki

you won't believe it. it's absolutely miki who initiates the first kiss. SKFJSJ i feel like essentially as me, miki captures a lot of the mostly-shy, sometimes-just fuck-it-we-ball essence of me lmao 😭 so that's exactly what it is, you know?

she's had just about enough of the push and pull, just about enough of the tension between them. it's a kiss that definitely doesn't happen for a while, and a also a kiss that definitely took a lot of tension to build up beforehand.

caleb and miki's relationship isn't perfect, maybe that's the picture that the first kiss paints really well. because when you stretch a cord too tight, it snaps.

an argument, probably. something about how caleb's always keeping things from her, something about how caleb's always doing so much for her and little for him, something about the self-deprecation and the fact that he can't seem to understand that she wants to be part of his life too, not just someone he wants to protect. usually she's quiet—usually she gives him the benefit of the doubt, usually she worries about him from afar because she doesn't want to make things worse.

sometimes, though, there's too much—like in this case—and sometimes the only way she can think to prove it is through a kiss.

which, like.,,, probably not the most ideal first kiss in the world?

but it calms both of them down, and she's burying her face into his chest, and— "you idiot, caleb, let me stay beside you for once..."

;;;

wings — kaivier

this is going to sound SO SILLY but it's legitimately going to be the first time kaia ever successfully cooks something. which. ironic, isn't it? considering xavier's status in the kitchen? 😭

kaia might be less of a self-insert as miki is, but she still does have elements of me to her and one of those is... very unfortunately that we're both hazardous in the kitchen LMAO.

it's just a moment of the dish turning out okay, no fires started, nothing burnt—xavier's there watching her, and she turns, and there's this really really big smile on her face. it's probably something she's been trying to do for years. cooking takes a lot pf practice when it's not innate in you! but then this one turned out well, and so she's squealing jumping up and down throwing herself into xavier's arms, and he's more than happy to laugh with her.

twirls her around, sets her on the counter so he can look at her properly. probably there's a moment, the laughter dies down, he brushes the hair from her face a little... and you know how xavier's just very calming to look at? you can see it in his eyes even if he doesn't say anything. there's pride in there, and love, and adoration... all of it.

he does say it this time, though.

"i'm really proud of you."

it means more to kaia than the words of anyone else.

whenever there are jason slander reels on instagram and basically 99.9% of the comments are defending him and saying 'you aren't cool for hating on him for absolutely nothing' and 'its not 2013 anymore, all of us have matured now, and we realize how overrated jason slander is' angels gain their wings :)

the idea of dogs needing a Firm Hand to learn (aka mild to medium animal mistreatment) is so funny to me, because Hugo had his feelings MORTALLY WOUNDED while being taught to Play Dead because I gently pushed him into a laying-on-his-side position... heartbroken from being gently pushed

I wonder why Bucky keeps on wearing his dog tags.. like, if he were to die, the contact in those isn't even alive anymore 🫠💔

So...the point of military dog tags is to identify the body should the soldier die, not (just) to record NOK contact details. Here is some interesting information about their history.

According to this website, emergency contact was a WW2 special. In fact - it didn't even stay through the entirety of WW2. NOK details were removed after 1943.

There's a lot of great meta about dog tags...I haven't looked into it as closely as some of the other Stucky fans ^^;

I'm pinching this image off Amazon:

As you can see the original were period accurate "notched" WW2 tags.

I saw someone say that Bucky was wearing new issue dog tags in TFATWS but they still have the notch, which was removed in the early 2000s. The site does note that some suppliers still had the old notched ones, so maybe he sought them out specifically because that's what he prefers? The text is different on the new dog tags.

I mean, Bucky was captured with the dog tags. He was found by Steve reciting his number, so whatever his thoughts about the war and being a soldier, he held onto his identification to ground him through the first round of torture.

The dog tags were taken from him when he was captured the second time, and they also took his name and identity.

So yeah, there might be a psychological reason for Bucky to want to wear these again. He spent 70 years being forced to fight for the wrong side while his own allies couldn't even identify him. Maybe this time he's not letting anyone take his identification from him again, except from his dead body.
