Did another oopsie and accidentally deleted another ask (*bangs head on table*) BUT HOPEFULLY THE LOVELY ANON WHO SENT IT SEES THIS!!
DADZONE & Child! Reader: John Dory
Includes: GN! Reader, Child! Reader, Adopted! Reader, accidental DILF John Dory, slight angst
TW: mention of spiders and body horror near the end (nothing too graphic but just in case)
š„½ This man doesn't trust himself enough not to fuck up another meaningful relationship ://
š„½ Personally, how I see it, becoming a father is probably the last thing on JD's to-do list. I mean he's definitely got the skills (being the oldest of five and having to raise his brothers means he's picked up a few things), and I like to think that it's something he longs for deep down, but considering how BADLY he fumbled with his brothers the last time they were all in the same room...
š„½ So yeah. In theory would be SO down to start a family of his own, but in practice?? He is EXTREMELY hesitant
š„½ THAT BEING SAID!! Chances are he probably found you as an egg
š„½ He was out one day, hiking out in the forest or exploring coastal coves or rock climbing, when all of a sudden he justā¦ stumbles across an egg. Just sitting there in a patch of moss or nestled into a log
š„½ Ends up taking the egg with him back to Ronda, but not before an actual HOUR of confused staring? Distressed pacing back and forth?? Panicked rambling all the while???
š„½ (the fact that Ronda tried to eat the egg upon his return doesn't help at all)
š„½ John Dory spends the next month or so visiting nearby troll villages and asking anyone who crosses his path "Hey man did you drop this? š¬"
š„½ In the end he decides to take you in himself. Partly because he's gotten tired of all the looks other trolls keep giving him for trying to force an egg into their hands, and also because heā¦ may have grown attached to said egg in the past few weeks. I mean by the end of day 3 he'd already given you a name so you know he's screwed ahsjkakaa
š„½ He tells himself he's taking you in because it's what any good citizen would do (He is a lair. He is 100% doing it for himself)
š„½ The day you hatch is LITERALLY one of the best days of his life? Like he's just making himself some dinner and suddenly he hears crackling coming from his hair?? And then there's babbling???
š„½ This man is going about his day with you nestled in his hair (basically the troll equivalent to carrying a baby on your hip lol). He's choppin trees, foraging for food, and driving his armadillo van all while he's got an actual egg sitting on his head. Absolutely talks to you the whole time, too. He has no idea if you can actually hear him but like.. this man spent the last 20 years all alone in the woods, okay, his ass is lonely :((
š„½ Yknow that thing parents do where they hold up headphones to a woman's womb and play Mozart or whatever to make the baby "smarter" or some shit?? Yeah that's JD. He's doing the same thing to his egg
š„½ no Mozart tho ONLY BROZONE š¤š¤ HIS BABY HAS GOTTA HAVE GOOD TASTE AND NOTHING LESS
š„½ If he's really feeling himself then he'll sing the songs himself. And then proceed to give unprompted lore behind the lyrics and the songs "true meaning" (songs include Brozone classics such as Baby Boy Got My Heart In A Headlock Boy and Baby Baby Love You Like A Pizza But Hate You Like There's Pineapple On It Babe)
š„½ "holy crap YOU'RE SO SMALLā"
š„½ UGLY CRYING HOLDING YOU IN THE CROOK OF HIS ARM CARESSING YOUR SOFT LITTLE FACE WITH HIS FINGER
š„½ Will die if you reach for him with your tiny baby hands or just smile up at him
š„½ He's still gonna carry you around in his hair while he goes about his day and stuff ngl. Like for him, it's a signature of your guys' bond and you bet your ass he's gonna be milking it for as long as he can (definitely dreads the day you become too big/old for it)
š„½ Most definitely tries to teach you survival skills as soon as possible. He's teaching you how to fish, he's demonstrating how to start a fire with the bare essentials, he's letting you DRIVE RONDAā
š„½ "It's an important skill to have, champ, trust me!"
"...but I'm only five."
"Never too early for a learner's permit!"
š„½ Defnitely tries to reel in that controlling/perfectionist mindset of his, at least for your sake. The last thing he wants is a repeat of what went down with his brothers. As a result he's probably more lenient when you get into trouble or do something wrong
š„½ Fr tho like... you'll accidentally(?) cause an explosion and his ass will be standing, hands on his hips like "I'm not mad, just disappointed š¤Ø"
š„½ You thought you were getting spoon fed Brozone content as an egg?? Well congrats on being born cuz now you're getting served Brozone content for BREAKFAST š DINNER š AND š LUNCH
š„½ JDs most definitely the type of guy to break into song whenever he's doing the most mundane of tasks (laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc), and yes he fully expects you to join in and know all the lyrics helloooo?? You've basically been raised on Brozone songs at this point like cmon, don't leave him hanging!
š„½ FR THO!! If you grow up to be a Brozone stan, he's never gonna be more proud of himself <33
š„½ This man definitely has a physical collection of every song/album/cover his band has ever done (I'm mean this is the same guy who kept his brothers underwear in a frame for 20 years so ://). He treats every CD, record, cassette tape, etc. like the priceless artifacts they are and YES, HES GONNA PASS THEM ONTO YOU LIKE THEYR FAMILIY HEIRLOOMS DID YOU EXPECT ANY LESS
š„½ If you grow up to lean more towards a different genre of music or Brozone just doesn't end up being your cup of tea... JDs gonna be a lil devastating ngl
š„½ Pls assure him that he has not failed as a father
š„½ Jokes aside tho! I feel like despite his wounded ego, JD will at least TRY to see your point of view. I mean he's definitely gonna be a bit of a grandpa about itā
*while the two of you are listening to your favorite song*
"I mean, I GUESS it's okay... not nearly as lyrically genius as Brozone's hit single: Baby Girl Ur Sweet Like A Milkshake Girl But I'm Lactose Intolerant Baby š"
"Dad. Please shut up."
ābut rest assured that he WILL support you and your music taste <33
š„½ You want merch of your favorite band/artist? No worries he's (stealing it right off the shelf) got money to pay for it! Is there a new album about to drop? He's (breaking into a store in the middle of night like a rabid racoon) patiently waiting in line just to buy it for you! You wanna go to a concert? He's using Ronda to (break speed limits, run people over, disobey every known traffic rule) get good parking at the venue!!
š„½ SPEAKING OF CONCERTS!! I feel like he'd be able to offer solid advice on the do's and don'ts of attending a concert. Like... my guy was in a popular band back in the day and he knows first hand how outta hand concerts can get. He has SEEN some shit ajskskaka
š„½ JD definitely has a photo album full of pictures from back in the day. Some of them are snapshots of him and the rest of Brozone, but a majority of the pictures are just of him and his familyā away from the stage and cameras. Just him and his brothers and grandma Rosiepuff too...
š„½ He remembers the exact moment every picture was taken, and he'll tell you every bit of context. Birthday, pranks gone wrong, holidays, first day of schoolā there's a snapshot for just about every milestone. All you have to do is ask and JD is more than happy to relay every childhood anecdote he can remember
š„½ It gets to the point where you eventually know just about everything about your uncles... WHO YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN MET YET AKSKSKAKAK
š„½ It's definitely something that freaks them out once you finally DO meet them
š„½ Like you'll have a conversation with Clay and they'll be like "yeah I'm not a big fan of spiders haha" and you just go "Oh that makes sense considering you used to have vivid nightmares about them crawling under your skin and tickling you to death" and Clay's just like "how the fuck did you know that????"
š„½ "Dude stop telling your kid everything about us"
"I haven't seen you guys in 20 years! I just wanted them to feel close to their uncles ;(("
"THEY DONT NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HOW I USED TO PICK MY NOSE WHEN I WAS SEVEN"
š„½ John Dory, Older Brother Who Overshares About His Younger Siblings my beloved <33
Ermmm yeahhhh this was originally gonna be one big post including ALL the brothers... but then I started writing for JD and got carries away... so yeah this ask is gonna have to be a multi-parter AJSJSJAKKA SORRY ANON I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF š¤„
NEXT PARTS ARE IN THE WORKS!!
Bruce | Clay | Floyd | Branch
#I am also an older sibling who overshares about my younger siblings!#im very embarrassing to be around i can assure you <33#out of all the Brozone members John Dory is the most likely to adopt a random child off the side of the road#AND I WILL STAND BY THAT TILL THE GRAVE#hes giving me āfinds a puppy/kitten in a cardboard box in an alley and immediately takes it homeā energy#the mans already got an armadillo bus thing. why not a kid too?#WAHH WAIT WAIT#Reader finds JD in a cardboard box and ADOPTS HIM AS THEIR FATHER FIGURE???#AJSJAKAKAKA#*pockets idea for later use*#trolls#trolls band together#brozone#trolls john dory#bruce trolls#trolls clay#trolls x reader#x reader#brozone x reader#ask

Oversharing on the Internet
Tagged by: @mistmarauder š§” (I can respond to these in a timely manner! Who knew? Though I always say waaaaay too much hence the readmore)
ONE: Are you named after anyone? My middle name was for my mum's great-nana I think? Maybe great-grandma and I only think great-nana because we only had a great-nana. But not my first name, no. But fun fact: My parents ONLY had one name for a girl. If my younger sibling had been born a girl they'd have been fuuuucked. (Also part of why I keep my name despite it being v much female-coded because like I earnt this. Also, like... it's my name. It fits me, thought I more often than not get confused seeing it written down because like that's my verbal name, Mayo is my written name.)
TWO: When was the last time you cried? Last week? Little sleep + stress of moving = lots of tears at random times.
THREE: Do you have kids? Nope! Don't have pets either. I wanna foster/adopt/support (probably older kids/teenagers) at some point but not for a few years and I absolutely do not want bio kids. Pregnancy freaks me the fuck out.
FOUR: Do you use sarcasm a lot? Fairly often? I can't even tell anymore tbh like I just talk, even I'm barely paying attention to what I'm saying half the time! Less so online I think (this is where people are like nah mate you do that here too) because it's definitely been misunderstood before - sometimes making me look very daft and I'm like I don't know you people well enough to say that that was what is called a joke
FIVE: What sports have you played/do you play? I never found one I liked apart from, like, bench-ball. The fact that there aren't (that I've found at least) casual places to play bench ball as an adult is a fucking travesty.
SIX: What's the first thing you notice about people? Their smile/laugh/sense of humour? I'm really bad with faces, but if someone laughs or makes a joke pretty soon after I meet them, I remember them a lot more easily. Online it's definitely like the quirks of their writing style.
SEVEN: What's your eye colour? Brown! Pretty dark brown too so like none of the "ooh it's got XYZ in it in the light" it has brown with hints of brown
EIGHT: Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings - I am the biggest wimp with scary films. I was part of the "let's go hang in the kitchen with the leftover pizza/snacks" gang if horror films came on at a sleepover!
NINE: Any special talents? I'm not the biggest fan of cake, but by god will I make the best cake you've tasted. I can also do a good mix CD (less good at specific playlists because playlists it's just a big mess of great songs) and I can flick through to the right page in a book for a quote pretty easily - drove some people mad in English because people would be trying to find it for like five minutes and I'd just be like drrrrrrrr (idk how to write the noise for fanning through the pages) There!
TEN: Where were you born? At home, south of England (I'm very much Northern, being there for like two memories max one of which was falling asleep indoors doesn't count š). I can't remember if it was me or my older brother this happened for, but my mum went into labour in the middle of the night and woke my dad up and was like "The baby is coming" and my dear father went "If you still think so in half an hour, wake me up again" and rolled back over. Needless to say, he was not, in fact, allowed to go back to sleep. He also hates that story so we tell it as often as possible š
ELEVEN: What are your hobbies? Uhh I watch a lot of TV? š I need to get more hobbies that get me outside tbh. But I podfic, I knit sometimes when I'm watching stuff and I play games when I watch stuff, I cook a lot, I bake, I like long walks on the beach actually I like reasonable length walks by rivers/green areas or along the promenade if I'm at the beach because sand (Anakin Skywalker was right and he should say it).
TWELVE: Do you have any pets? Nope! Just moved, but I used to help look after my friends' dog every so often - she's a black cockapoo called Luna and I love her dearly but she also made me realise if I do get a dog, I don't want a puppy. They are a lot of work. Which makes sense because they are literally baby
THIRTEEN: How tall are you? 5'7", please don't ask me for the metric - I haven't had to be measured in a while so I only know it in imperial. I wanna say like 167cm maybe? Does that sound right???
FOURTEEN: Favourite subject in school? English (Language over Lit) or French 100%. I always say that my optional GCSEs were all basically an extension of my skills in English (AKA bullshitting): Religious Studies (taught tbh as Christianity + a few other examples), French, Spanish (both still bullshitting just in another language), and Drama (absolutely bullshitting and also in my case scaring the shit out of an examiner because the plate smashed into lots of pieces that flew everywhere rather than just a few in a controlled space like it had in rehearsal)
FIFTEEN: Dream job? God I miss working in a cafe/events. But they don't pay the bills as well! Also like I would ideally want to do my current job 3 days a week and a manual job 2 but like without having to work lots of extra hours to keep on top of both, yk?
Tagging: @glaftwlet @emryses @snapshotmaestro @idyllic-idioms @alloverthegaf and idk anyone else who wants to do it! Brain empty can't remember usernames

Of course i do!
Not many, since i prefer pretty emoboys and pretty sunshines over pretty brats- honestly, he HAS annoyed me, but i dont exactly hate him, more like he's the terrorizing younger sibling to my so fucking done older sibling. Example nro. 1, he left the mess with the lyre during the archon quest to us. Why is that tiny mfucker running after having JUST told us he cast an ILLUSION on his own fucking artifact, like i know he's weak and shit cuz he lost his gnosis, but have a SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY AND NIGERUNDAYO US WITH YOU TOO!
Anyways, i like to, when i know he's gonna appear in events and such, use DIONA as payback. A No-alcohol-activist cat against an alcoholistic cat allergic bard gets me giggling every single time.
And in Sagau we pretty much agree he's a clingy whiny prat- depending on the version, has he hurt the creator or not? Is he yandere or simply a fanatic follower or something?- imagine bolting to grab diona as a meatshield when the bard gets a bit too, clingy. I myself am a not physical person, like once every while hug is enough to sustain me for a month. (I do get my affection bursts, but those too are like two months apart and mostly only with family, and only if they arent busy, such as hugging them while they are making a call or plopping down to lay next to them on the sofa for like 5 minutes. I myself feel like a cat.)
Creator holding diona by the armpits like a cross to a vampire while venti is pouting six feet away sets me giggling every time.
(my maternal grandma who i actually recently mentioned, passed away four days ago. I was the only one home when mom came back from work after she got a call grandma was getting worse and when she came back almost immediatly got a call grandma passed away and i had to awkwardly comfort her and hug her. I also realise i probably am oversharing, but pouring out shit about myself anonymously is my way of venting. And is also the reason i havent recently sent any asks.)
iām gonna have to kindly disagree on your characterization/opinion of venti(partly because iām biased but partly because i just donāt think itās in character), but i can see the backing behind some of your points.
like the lyre stunt? dumb as hell. the fact that diona is like. his mortal nemesis? hilarious. i am laughing with you.
also i acknowledge we both have like. yk. different preferences/opinions/thoughts abt venti here. but i do think venti, while naturally a physically affectionate person, is emotionally intelligent enough to recognize and respect any preferences you state or boundaries you lay down.
also, iām sorry for both your loss and the emotional labor that must have required /gen. take all the time you need.
#m1d : [chats]#iām? assuming this is stew-? because youāve been kinda quiet recently?#but. i donāt know. so. pls clarify o anon of plenty#stewš„ anon

*INDEFINITE HIATUS*
This is well overdue, but better late than never right?
Why you should follow me
My tumblr will
Hi, I am a weird person behind a weird blog. You can call me Sunset or Sunny or Sunshine (I don't mind nicknames, so you can give me one if you want. @theburningocean likes to call me Tiny Piggy. You can too if you want. Other nicknames also include Sunhoe and Sunny The Bard.) I am 20 years old and my pronouns are she/her. I've recently started ruining desiblr's childhoods and am quite proud of that š
tracking #user.sunshine
I am kinda socially anxious and overthink and am bad at picking up hints, so just dm me if you ever want to talk to me (there's like a really big chance I think that you hate me or I've offended you somehow, so I'd probably stew in my own negative thoughts and not talk to you first). I am an ISFJ-T, if that is something you care about.
I jump from hyperfixation to hyperfixation on this blog, so buckle up for a wild ride. I also enter these depressive phases, so sorry if it gets a little dark around here from time to time. Fair warning: there's also quite a lot of mood swings and bursting into songs spontaneously. Also, if you haven't noticed already, I kinda tend to overshare and ramble š¬.
I have met absolutely amazing people here and feel absolutely blessed to be able to call them my mutuals. Still working on expanding my tumblr family. If you're a mutual or a follower, you're already part of it, whether you want it or not. Sorry.
Some special mentions to provide insight into specific roles in my tumblr family:
@agnesandmina - my archaeoweirdist who I love dearly and my twin (my literal twin, same year and all. Also, my first friend here) š„°
@ithurielkeepsgettingkidnapped - I've recently adopted her after we sang a couple songs together. We are now soul siblings. š
@reyna-herondale - my mother-in-law (who is younger than me, but nevermind that) š
@matthias-is-alive - my homegirl. Absolute crackhead energy, always putting a smile on my face š¤©
@dharanidares - my parabatai!!!! One of the kindest and sweetest people ever. She just radiates good vibes. āØ
@niastormsanctuary-bolastairkanej - my adorable cinnamon roll, though you wouldn't guess she's older than me by the way she acts. Nia is my lob, nia is my storm and I'm her sunset ā¤š§”š
@clarys-heosphoros - my lovely, lovely first wife <3
@kazoo-the-demjin - my beautiful second wife š
Part of The Hoely Trinity with @linedmund. yes, the both of us have enough personality and thirst to fill three entire people. cry about it.
I am the cool aunt and/or tumblr adoptive parent to: (Co-parenting with @anotherteenageroninternet is the cool dad)
@grangerstarkid @darkshadowqueensrule @just-here-to-escape-from-realit @reyna-herondale (she's also my mother-in-law, we know it's messed up but whatever) @bookavert @ithurielkeepsgettingkidnapped (soul sibling, but as I said, we know the family tree is messed up) @adamariasmith @ninas-waffles @d4nkug0 @kaz-hawthorne @satanshairycoochie @kanshah @cecilyisthebest6096 @aliceisntinw0nderland @iambecomeyourvillain @alonlyfangirl @bxbygirl-adley @book-dragon-not-worm @chrysalism-sonder @doritosandbluethings @cocoakitty1839 @neo-lightchild-decafineator @psychosociogentleman @lightwood-di-angelo-hargreeves @shays-shenanigans @a-flowery-sideblog @ji-wooandfriends @leestillyeetschappal @badtameeez @niastormbolastairkanejsambucky @dragon-slayer-fairy1 @im-someone-i-guess @neil-perry-the-platypus @ddepressedbookworm @gold-russh @the-axewielding-herondale šš
Hurt any of them and I will hunt you down with a hatchet
Will add more people once my brain decides to clean up its internal mess.
I don't have a parabatai because my two best friends decided they like each other better than they like me. In this regard, I kinda feel like George Lovelace. Oh well, I'm happy for them.
Edit: I now have a parabatai!!

Their S/O takes them to an Asian House Party
[Midoriya + Todoroki + Bakugou + Kaminari + Kirishima]Ā
A/N:Ā Hey hereās a niche that no one asked for.Ā
I know that Japanese is a type of Asian but I am a wildly different type of Asian š¤£š¤£, so my headcanons are based entirely off of being this other racial group.Ā
I just want to say that most of the time older Asian relatives really step out of line with their comments and can be really hurtful. I absolutely hate that behavior and their mindset, but for the purposes of this letās just say that theyāre not being harmful at all and itās mostly light teasing :) If theyāre like that in real life :) screw them >:) Also P.S. if these sound familiar itās because Iāve recycled a lot of ideas from my other blog where I wrote āAsian House Partyā headcanons already!Ā
Warnings: mentions of alcohol, hints at underage drinkingĀ Ā
Midoriya Izuku:Ā
For the longest time it has only been him and his mom, so when he enters the house and sees it packed with people his brain just goes blank because this is a family party.Ā
These people are all related to you somehow??Ā
He asks you how you guys are all related and youāre genuinely like,Ā āI donāt know???ā You just call everyone auntie and uncle and hope for the best.Ā Ā
If you start taking him to parties before he becomes a Pro, he has enough of a baby face that your older relatives and grandparents give him a red envelope without thinking too hard about it. But he gets so embarrassed and feels so bad that he ends up giving it to your mom.Ā
At his first party heās supperrr nervous and wants your family to like him. Heās stuttering nearly every other syllable.Ā
Never leaves your side. Trails behind you like a puppy the entire time.Ā
After heās been to several parties with your family, they recognize his red Nike Air Forces in the pile of shoes outside the house enough to be like,Ā āHey, [Name]! Your boyfriendās here!āĀ
Midoriya is kinda of a pushover during the beginning of the series, and Asian families have the tendency to tease without knowing how it might sound, so he becomes an easy target until you pull him aside and tell him to argue back.Ā
Heās like noooo I donāt want to be disrespectful :(. He says that heās used to bullying so this is nothing which makes you kinda sad and angry. Youāre like hahahaha no.Ā
You two eventually get your family to stop and thatās when heās finally indoctrinated into your fam.Ā
Heās kind of the quintessential Asian boyfriend? He goes to a good school, is sweet and innocent, polite to elders, etc. When he goes to the party with you your aunties are going to your cousins and say,Ā āWhy canāt you get a boyfriend like [Name].āĀ
Your female relatives kinda baby him because every time they see him heās always in a new cast with another broken bone, so when thereās no more space left on the couches or the folding stools they kick your cousins off to make room for him.Ā
When he later becomes Pro-Hero Deku, everyoneās in love with him. He becomes the talk of the party. Everyone brags about him saying that they practically saw him grow up when they only see him once or twice a year.Ā
He also becomes theĀ ācool uncleā that offers to take your younger relatives out for boba. But you pay. You have to pay or else your mom will yell at you for making the guest spend money.Ā
Yes, you will polite fight your own boyfriend.Ā
No, he will not win, but heās determined to win one time like the shonen protag he is.Ā
Always leaves the party with the large trays of leftovers for him and his mom.Ā
Even when heās like in his late twenties heās still sitting at the kidās table.Ā
Todoroki Shouto:Ā
When you first invited him to a party with your family heās just like,Ā āOh. Sure.ā Most of the parties heās been to is the rich people parties that his dad took him to for publicity, so he arrives to the house in a whole suit and tie.Ā
Your cousins and uncles are clowning him while the older women swoon. Youāre in the background panicking because everyone else is in sweats or shorts while he looks like heās going to prom??Ā
[Your auntie says,Ā āOh my god, heās making such a good first impression!āĀ
You: Hahahaha! Yea!ćĀ“āļ½ć
Inner You: Oh god I forgot heās cluelessĀ āā½ā]Ā
Brings an expensive pastry every time because Fuyumi said it was polite. From that everyoneās like,Ā āOh??? Youāre invited to every party from now on!āĀ
Becomes the source of your momās humble brag.Ā āOh, your son goes to Stanford and is studying medicine? My kid and their boyfriend are both Heroes-in-training and heās the son of the Number One Hero ā āĀ
Kinda just does whatever your aunties and mom tells him to do?Ā
Heāll sit wherever they tell him to sit, even if itās far away from you and heāll even take the many family photos for you guys in the end. Even though heās shit at photography.Ā
If theyāre like,Ā āOh, youāre so skinny, you should eat some more!ā Heāll just shrug and be like okay, and doesnāt stop them when they continue to put food on his plate even though heās full and gets into a big food coma that knocks him out on the couch right away.Ā
Every time he appears, your aunties will just stop and say,Ā āOh, heās so handsome!āĀ
Heās getting better at handling kids and it shows by the way heās more willing to play with them then hang out with your cousins that are around your age. Heās in the room upstairs and is ;; just napping with them.Ā Ā
The kids in the party call him Zuko.Ā Ā
Before you brought him your aunts and uncles would be like,Ā āDo you have a boyfriend?? Do you have a girlfriend??ā and you would say,Ā āYeah, Todoroki Shouto.ā And they would laugh in your face.Ā
NO ONE BELIEVED THAT HE WAS YOUR BOYFRIEND UNTIL YOU BROUGHT PROOF!! HERE HE IS !! IN THE FLESH!!Ā
I feel like he would have the most culture shock? You guys conduct yourself in such a different way than his own family and from everyone in 1-A. You guys go batshit insane.Ā
When you wake him up and offer to walk him to the train station to take him home, he offers to walk you back to your house as well and you say,Ā āOh, Iām going back to the party after this.āĀ
Itās almost midnight??Ā
He asks you where are you going to sleep or if youāre going to sleep at all and you donāt know how to explain the concept of how you and all of your cousins and siblings are going to cram into one room upstairs and sleep on every blanket in the house on the floor while only three or four lucky relatives are able to get the bed.Ā
Older Asians have no filter so they will straight up say to his face that he looks nothing like his dad heāll just go,Ā ā :ā) Thank you, that means a lot to me.āĀ
Before Endeavorās redemption arc heās prone to oversharing and one day he tells your mom that his dad is a piece of shit and his mom is in the hospital.Ā
Your mom, taking her sandal and holding it like a weapon: Oh? Whereās your father?? I just want to talk. Your mom is welcome to every [Surname] party from now on!! Haha!Ā (āį“āāæ)
His brain is doing backflips trying to figure out how youāre related to everyone.Ā
The only guy that neatly puts his shoes off to the side at the front door.Ā
Bakugou Katsuki:Ā
At first you didnāt invite him to the party, he kinda just figures it out from how your relatives are all tagging you on social media and forces you to invite him.Ā
Not because youāre ashamed of him but because theyāre somewhat overbearing ;; and Bakugou has no filter.Ā
For someone whoās soĀ ābadassā heās super anal about the rules and punctuality.Ā
You tell him the party is at 18:00 and by 17:45 he goes into your house and finds you still napping with your PJs on. Even though you tell him that the party isnāt really starting at six he doesnāt listen. He forces you to get dressed and takes you to the party and whatdoyouknow no one is there yet. No one is going to be here until at least two hours after the designated time.Ā
He instead forces you to help the women in the kitchen prepare the food, aka heās helping while you laze around in the living room.Ā
All of the women are like,Ā āWow! You can cook so well! [Name] you should be more like him!!āĀ
If this is the first time he meets your entire extended family, heās inwardly hyping himself up to make a good first impression. If you are not Japanese, he manages to memorize several greetings in your language and the proper formalities when greeting an older relative. Then he goes in and everyoneās already drinking and screaming their throats out to karaoke.Ā
When he walks into the party with his black tank top and saggy pants everyoneās first thought is that heās an Asian Baby Boy. Like he probably takes social media pictures in front of cars, is going to break your heart, goes to raves, is named Kevin Nguyen.Ā
Everyone is loud af at this party so they donāt really care that heās screaming. They love teasing the shit out of him because his reactions are so fucking funny.Ā
When one of your uncles offers you alcohol he immediately snatches it away from you. No, you guys are underage, have an athletic lifestyle, and heās so protective of you asdfgĀ
Heās been so focused on being a Hero that when your cousins play against him in video games or card games he loses horribly. Heāll just keep going,Ā āOne more round!ā until he finally wins.Ā
Your mom forces you to do a convenience store run to get something that the party is running out of and when you come back Bakugou managed to find is way into theĀ āwomenā side of the room where theyāre all gossiping with him and playing poker together like theyāve been friends forever.Ā
Your mom honest-to-god acts like heās more of her child than you are.Ā
When you guys finally get your families to meet, his mom and your female relatives are going to be so powerful together.Ā
Is trying his damned hardest to get through the entire party because it can go all night long and he sleeps at 8:30PM.Ā
Kaminari Denki:Ā
The KING of the Asian House Party.
Absolutely CRUSHES it at karaoke with your family. Even though he might not speak your language, heās putting so much passion into it that no one cares anyway.Ā
Sings so loud that the neighbors complain.Ā
Your family loves him because heās just so happy-go-lucky. The life of the party.Ā
He goes around eating all night and continually asks you,Ā āHey [Name], whatās this? Whatās this one?āĀ
You can drop him off in the designated kids room and not see him for hours on end. Heās too busy playing video games with your cousins and siblings.Ā
But heās such a sucker. Your uncles and older cousins pull him into any gambling game and he loses so bad, even if heās gambling things like candy or food.Ā
Kinda gullible when your family teases him?? If youāre not Japanese they teach him an insult in your language but tell him itās a complement orĀ āItās like saying, I love you more than words,ā and they send him off to tell you it.Ā
And he acts super fucking cocky like the e-boy smirk while heās rubbing his hands together, and biting his lip and shit. While youāre just sitting on the stool with a drink in your hand like,Ā āOkay....āĀ
He tells you the insult and butchers the pronunciation already, but acts like youāre about to fall in his arms and you just ;; burst out laughing ;;; until you fall off your chair.Ā
Has the party time down pat. He wonāt arrive until three hours later, and thatās when you tell him an earlier time than everyone else.Ā
Will drink anything your uncle offers up. Heās a lightweight. You end up half-carrying him half-dragging him back to his house. Nearly trips on the sea of shoes outside the front door and falls on you.Ā
Youāre just lucky that he doesnāt discharge his Quirk randomly when heās drunk.
Doesnāt get Asian glow.Ā Ā
When your mom discovers you struggling outside she just tells him to sleep over and if this is his first party with you guys, youāre able to get the bed because heās the guest šš. If heās been here several times before, yeah ;; you guys are going back to a pile of blankets on the floor.Ā Ā
Kirishima Eijirou:Ā
TheĀ ābig brotherā figure of the party.Ā
The kids love him and heās willingly playingĀ āHeroes and Villainsā with them for hours.Ā
Since heās so broad they hang off of him like a limpet and he walks around with children draped around him.Ā
Ngl... He walks into the party dressed like all of your other male cousins.Ā
Basketball shorts, t-shirt, crew socks.Ā
Heās able to find his shoes super fast at the end of the party because heās the only person thatās willing to wear crocs.Ā
Willing to go outside with your cousins to play basketball with them but heās so out of practice that he fumbles so bad.Ā
After several games he gets the hang of it and isnāt deadweight to your team anymore.Ā
LOVES going to your familyās parties because he gets to eat whatever he wants without holding back. Eats several plates and when someone suggests going to get ice cream heās like, /gasp/Ā āIce cream???āĀ
They were offering the little kids, but okay, a teenager can come along too.Ā
Youāre never too old for ice cream.Ā
For some reason heās able to get along with everyone at the party?? He just has a personality that makes him easy to talk to, and by the end of the night or the next day,Ā heās saying goodbye to everyone by name.Ā
[āNo, wait, [Name], I havenāt said goodbye to your cousinās sister-in-lawās daughter yet.Ā
You do a double-take because even you have no idea who that is.]Ā
When he gets a little bit older and heās finally allowed to move out of the kidās table and eat with the older male relatives heās so ;;; awkward.Ā
Theyāre just all in the garage eating, drinking, and smoking and heās just sitting there having no idea what to do.Ā
Eventually he convinces you to join him in the garage because he wants your emotional support and is super shocked when you fit right in. Heāll just ;;; go back to the kidās table.Ā
Canāt sing to save his life.Ā
You guys heard him do karaoke once and you never let him do it again.Ā
If one of your relatives teases him heās able to laugh it off and not think too much about it, but if they say something that might be hurtful to you heās so quick to shut it down. He doesnāt care that theyāre blood related to you or not.Ā
Does not let up until they apologize.Ā
For some reason all of the ladies are confused af when they find out that he dyed his hair?? Theyāre like omg is he a secret delinquent.Ā
LOVES to hear your relatives talk about what you were like when you were a kid.Ā
Itās embarrassing af but he just laughs it off like,Ā āItās okay, babe! You sound like you were super cute as a kid!āĀ

Invisible String
21st of December
āDo you not like my friends?āĀ
Will almost jumped out of his skin. NiccolĆ² was standing just a couple of feet from him, with his hands in his pockets, and a scowl on his face. He was wearing Willāsāit was actually NiccolĆ²ās, but Will had always worn itāscarf, and a black beanie.
Willās lips tightened. What could he say? He did like them. They were fun to be around, and had a great sense of humor. Plus, seeing them tease NiccolĆ² was entertaining.
āItās not that,ā Will settled for. āItāsāI donāt know.ā
āYou do know,ā NiccolĆ² said. āJustānothing. We should go. Seen anything you like?ā
Will shook his head. They were looking for a Christmas tree, apparently they would be shooting a little video for a Royal Family thing. When NiccolĆ² was explaining it, Will was too busy being scared to death to listen thoroughly.
āWait!ā Will called, when NiccolĆ² was already at the end of that tree aisles. NiccolĆ² looked back at him with a frown, which had Willās fingertips tickle with the need to smooth it out. āCan we get hot chocolate before we head out?ā
NiccolĆ² rolled his eyes. He didnāt say no.
Ā āWhat do you mean presents?ā NiccolĆ² asked, his face turning into an even more prominent scowl. āWe donāt need to get each other gifts.ā
āIām not spending money for this dumbass,ā Will said, taking the cup from NiccolĆ²ās hands to take a sip. He was immediately kicked in the shin by NiccolĆ², but the biggest punishment was the taste of that thing inside. āIs this death? Am I tasting death?ā
āItās coffee, you genius,ā NiccolĆ² said, taking the mug back. āSorry Iām an adult and donāt put milk in it.ā
Will just grimaced. āI see why youāre so bitter. Youāre poisoning yourself.ā
NiccolĆ² opened his mouth, but Piper interrupted them before he could talk, hitting the wooden table. She sighed, exasperation clear on her face. As clear as the fact that the gifts exchanging wasnāt her and Annabethās idea, probably Persephoneās. Maybe even Hazelās.
āWhat Annabeth and I are trying to say, is that itās only normal you two exchange gifts. You will spend Christmas together, wonāt you?ā
Will turned to NiccolĆ². āMy time and company are going to be your present.ā
āHope you kept the receipt.ā
Annabeth rubbed her temples. āGuys.ā
āHonestly, if you want us to have gifts so much, you should just buy them for us,ā NiccolĆ² said, looking smug in his chair. āThen weāll give them to each other. Weād be even more surprised!ā
Will sighed. āDonāt be rude, you ass. I honestly havenāt even changed my money to euros.ā He grimaced. āI guess Iāve been kind of leeching off of you.ā
NiccolĆ² shrugged. āItās my fault youāre here in the first place.ā
Annabeth clasped her hands together. āThen whatās better than using the Royal Familyās money to buy each other gifts?ā
āNot buying each other gifts,ā NiccolĆ² said.
āDonating the money to charity.ā
NiccolĆ² nodded, very vaguely waving his hand toward Will. āYeah, that, too.ā
āI honestly donāt even know what I could buy you,ā Will said, putting his elbow on the table and his chin on his fist. āWhat could you possibly want? Youāre already rich.ā
āIād like McDonaldās. I havenāt had it in so long.ā
āWe can arrange that.ā
āIām not sure there are any McDonaldās around.ā
Will grimaced. āIsnāt this city a nightmare?ā
āIām not even replying to that,ā Annabeth said. āCāmon guys. Youāll have to put something on social network sooner or later, it could be the two of you opening gifts. People want to see you.ā
āPeople can see me on Google Image,ā NiccolĆ² replied. āSeriously. Itās none of their business what weāre doing.ā
āYou are a public figure, Nico.ā
āAlso,ā Piper continued. āAs you know thereās always been speculation about your sexuality. People are wondering whether you and this soulmate of yours will be lovers or platonic.ā
āAnd Iām sure theyād love it,ā NiccolĆ² said.
Will couldnāt help a grimace. Up until a few decades back, courtship between two soulmates of the same sex wasnāt accepted. Will hadnāt even thought it would be an option for them. NiccolĆ² was a prince, didnāt he need to have heirs or something?
Fuck. It only made things more complicated. Will knew himself, he knew he wouldnāt be able to stop wondering, if there was even a sliver of hope for the two of them. He buried that hope thinking about his parents.
āIām sure theyād love to see me with a boy, wouldnāt they.ā
Willās eyes snapped back up at NiccolĆ², and it hit him like a bucket of cold water. He had forgotten how cold the otherās face could turn. How his voice could become blank. How distant he became.
āTheyād love to see me bonding with a man, wouldnāt they?ā NiccolĆ² asked, as if he the words were clawing out of his throat.
Iām bisexual! Will wanted to scream. Iām bisexual so stop saying shit like that, like itās disgusting. He wanted to say it, instead he just pushed the chair back, and stood. What was he expecting from someone who had lived his whole life in a palace? It was only a given that NiccolĆ² would be homophobic. In times like this, Willās life reminded him of a staged joke.
āItās just gifts,ā he said. His voice was steadier than he thought it would be. āLetās just take a scarf each and be done with it.ā
āIt would be different. Youād be soulmates,ā he heard Piper say, but he was already leaving the room. He could feel eyes boring holes in his back.
Ā Before letting them use the sleigh, Piper took at least a hundred photo. Most of them had either Nico or Will with an indignant expression on their face, as the other talked passionately. Ten minutes later, and Nico couldnāt remember what they had been bickering about.
He was half hunched over his sleigh, the cold wind in his face, on the path ahead he could see both Will and the instructor. He could see them, when his eyes werenāt forced closed by the pain in his knee.
āThis is the best thing Iāve ever done,ā Will said later, when they were sitting on the panoramic spot, feet dangling over the edge. A smile was spitting his face open, darkness had already began falling. He was dressed in a bright orange suit, so that the instructor wouldnāt lose him on the track. Nico had little to laugh about, since he himself was in green. āThank you for bringing me here.ā
Nico managed a grimace. The huskies were panting, just a few meters away. The instructor had disappeared back into the hotel, soon Will and Nico would have to get going.
āKayla would have loved this,ā Will said, his voice softer.
Nico knew those eyes. They were the same he had in every photo with Bianca and Hazel, that love struck gaze brothers wore only when they were talking of a sister. So Nico asked about it, heart hammering in his chest. āYour sister?ā
Will nodded. He never talked about his family, or at least not with Nico. He should have been a fool not to notice the strange atmosphere and gazes exchanged between Will and Piper. A part of him wondered if Will was falling for Piper. He wouldnāt be the first to do so.
āYeah, the oldest. Kayla Knowles.ā He shrugged, and took a deep breath. āDonāt you think itās crazy, how weāve lived alone for days, yet not talked about anything of our lives? Do weādo we actually know each other?ā
Nico tightened his lips. It was not the time to talk about the mess theyād made, pain shot through his knee. āI donāt think we do.ā
Will nodded. āYeah. I thought so.ā
For a moment, less than a second, Nico wished Will had fought him. He put his hands under his thighs, to avoid doing stupid things, like poking the mole under Willās left eye, and bicker like only they did.
āThis is the part where you start telling me things about yourself,ā Will said. He put his chin on his bent knee, giving Nico a sidelong glance.
āOh. Uh. Elysium. Thatās my kingdomās name. Ancient Greeks believed it was part of the Underworld, for a time. Black flowers grew on the shorelines, and it was so hard to reach them. Too many storms. I thought it was Elysium too, when I was little.ā
āIsnāt your father also called Hades?ā
Nico grinned. āGrandfather thought he was so funny, when he chose his sonsā names.ā He cleared his throat, embarrassment darkening his cheeks even more when silence stretched. āIsnāt it your turn now?ā
Nico thought Will mock him, at least a little. āMaybe I should tell you the story behind Texasā. Will didnāt, as if he understood how personal Elysium was to Nico, what a great thing it was to admit that, for a time, heād been foolish enough to want the throne.
Will took a deep breath, his knuckles turned white where he was holding the railing. āI have eight siblings. Lee, Michael, Austin, Kayla, Jerry, Gracie, Yan and Victoria. Lee and Michael were older than me. Now Iām the oldest.ā He sniffled, bringing his gloved hand to his nose. āWhen theyāwe didnāt live together. We saw each other during holidays, birthdays sometimes. The first year after Michael and Lee died, I didnāt know how to be the oldest. Itās different, you know? I always had them, and they were before me. If the youngers needed something, something clever, they went to them. I couldnāt bring myself to see the others, after the two of them died. I didnātāI didnāt have anyone to go to.ā
The breath was knocked out of Nicoās lungs.
Will chuckled. āI guess I overshared a bit. Sorry.ā
āYou didnāt,ā Nico blurted, so fast Will whipped his head around. He cleared his throat, spoke with far more calm. āYou didnāt overshare.ā
āYou sound pretty put out.ā
āI was just thinking about what I wanted people to tell me, after I lost Bianca.ā He tasted bitterness on his tongue, so heavy it laced through his words. āI canāt remember.ā
āI donāt want you to tell me anything.ā
āYeah. Neither did I.ā
Will put his head on Nicoās shoulder. His hat was cold, a bit wet with snow, his breath warm, even through all the layers. Nico leaned against him.
Ā The others were waiting for them inside the hotel. Piper and Leo had managed to convince Jason to stay one more night, to sleep in an igloo room together. Nico had half a mind they would try seducing him. Percy and Annabeth would go to Paris, Annabeth wanted to see Notre Dame. She had never seen it in person. Nico recommended her to see the Dome of SacrĆ© Coeur Basilica first.
āYou were talking about Paris?ā Will asked, sliding down next to Nico with a cup of hot chocolate in his hands.
Nico ignored that itād been a gift from the instructor. Only for Will. With Nico standing right next to them. It seemed impossible for Will to go anywhere without having someone fall for him. It had to be the curls. Or the freckles. Maybe the eyes, always so bright and beautiful.
Nico shook his head, to get himself out of the trance.
ā-there a couple of times, with my family,ā Will admitted, nodding his head. He took the cup to his mouth, and grimaced at the first sip.
āDid the Hot Instructor poison you?ā Nico asked. He knew it wasnāt possible, but at least then theyād have a good reason to send him to jail. Or at least never seen him again. He wasnāt so petty after all.
Will huffed. āItās too hot.ā A glint lit his eyes, as he looked at Nico through a thick layer of eyelashes. āJust like the instructor.ā
Nico scoffed, crossing his arms. āYeah, if youāre into bulky men that spend their days riding towards the sunset with huskies.ā
Percy snorted. āWho isnāt into that?ā
Nico bit his cheek. Annabeth caught his eyes, cocking an eyebrow. Nico sunk lower into his chair, tightening his grasp on the cup holder. Nico didnāt need to look at Will to recognize the mirth in his eyes.
āAnyway,ā Leo said. āBefore omo celoso here interrupted us, we were listening to a story.ā
āYou should really stop treating peopleās lives like they exist for your entertainment,ā Jason told him. Piper giggled, and Leo sent him a wink. Jasonās whole face turned as red as a tomato. Nico imprinted the memory into his head, just in case he ever needed to have something to tease Jason about.
āI was telling them about the time I went to Paris,ā Will said. He grimaced. āWe were on the Eiffel Tower when my Fatherās girlfriend discovered he was cheating on her.ā
āWith whom?ā Leo asked, eagerly leaning on the table.
Will and Piper both burst out laughing. āWell,ā Will said, clicking his tongue. āI was eleven at the time. My parents, uh, they divorced when I was eight.ā
āJust a quick note,ā Piper said. āHis oldest half-brother is two years younger than him.ā
āThanks,ā Will said. He fixed his eyes on Nico, before dropping to the table. āVery helpful. Uh. So, we were on the Eiffel Tower, and my fatherās girlfriend sees him passing the waitress his number. She goes absolutely mad, and she was right, really. My fatherās a really lewd man. So she gets his phone, calls a cab for herself and orders a flight back to California. She finds the messages he had exchanged with his lovers.ā
āGod, thatās so disgusting,ā Annabeth said.
āThatās not the worst heās done,ā Piper replied.
āWait, how do you even know?ā Percy asked her.
Piper sent Will a panicked glance, and he cleared his throat. āWe were neighbors. Kind of.ā
āOh my God, isnāt that so cute?ā Jason exclaimed, his eyes on Nico. As if he knew Nico was storing teasing material. As if this was his revenge. They knew each other well enough for it to be possible. āYou two would have met through Piper!ā
āSo no oneās going to talk about the fact that we discovered it now?ā Percy asked. He was ignored.
āI canāt believe weāve been robbed of the chance of introducing them to each other!ā Leo wailed loudly, gathering the attention of the other costumers. āWeādāve held it over Nicoās head for the rest of our lives.ā
āHolding something over my head?ā Nico scoffed. āWith your height?ā
Leo hit him in the shins from under the table, making him hiss. He sent the hit right back, but hit the table.
āJealousyās taking your aim away, hombre,ā Leo commented.
He was lucky Willās attention was on Annabeth, or Nico would have used him to replace the table leg.
āIām absolutely not jealous,ā Nico hissed, trying to hit Leo again. He hit the table instead, a jolt of pain shot through his leg.
āYou know, just because youāre prince doesnāt mean you can destroy the furniture,ā Will chirped with a sickeningly sweet smile, using napkins to rub the spilled chocolate. āBy the way, you now owe me a free chocolate.ā
āYou lost two sips at most.ā Nico took a long sip of his coffee, the bitterness heaving on his words, not only his tongue. āIf you want another, go back to flirting with the instructor.ā
Will leaned closer, batting his eyelashes with a coy smile. āMaybe Iād rather flirt with you for another.ā
Nico shoved him by the shoulder, a grin stretching on his lips. āFuck off.ā
They both laughed.
Ā Will fell on the sofa next to NiccolĆ² with a loud sigh. Before turning the TV on, he complained about his tiredness, his old age, the weather.. NiccolĆ² didnāt say a single word, but his eyes were
āThe house is silent again,ā he said.
āYeah.ā NiccolĆ² cleared his throat, looking away. He crossed his legs, looking like he didnāt know how to act now that they were alone. They would be for a few more days, so heād better get used back to it. It was unnerving Will.
āIād gotten used to having them around. Have you always been so close to your cousins?ā
NiccolĆ² grunted. āI wouldnāt say weāre close, even now.ā
āYou look like it.ā
āMaybe we are.ā He stayed silent long enough for Will to think he wouldnāt add anything. āWithāwith Jason. Itās more complicated with Percy. Iāve seen him much more than Jason, and weāI hadāā He cleared his throat, but his hands were shaking, and Will wanted to wrap his own fingers around NiccolĆ²ās. He knew the other wouldnāt like it, though. āHe was already around when Bianca died. So. I took him out on him.ā He passed a hand through his hair. It wasnāt very long, less than an inch, what with being cut short in the military.
āHe looks at you like you are his little brother, though.ā
āI hated it back then.ā He nodded toward the television, before Will could do as much as thinking about asking more. āSo, why are you on YouTube again?ā
āI just realized I never got around to watching your eleven awkward moments.ā
NiccolĆ² groaned.
Ā NiccolĆ² was around fifteen years old. He held a scepter, or what looked like it. People all around were looking at him, cameras going off. He kept looking around, never keeping his eyes on something a second too long. Then, he mouthed at the King, and his words had been written as subtitles:
What was I supposed to do now?
Ā The MC smiled at NiccolĆ². NiccolĆ² nodded and smiled. Hazel talked, the MC responded. NiccolĆ² looked at the crowd. Cheers and screams grew louder. Some people shouted his name. Others that they wanted to marry him. NiccolĆ² grimaced.
Prince NiccolĆ²: Great King of Shut the Hell Up
Ā NiccolĆ² got out of the car, walking toward the entrance of the hotel without paying much attention to the people screaming his name. That is, until someone shouted āPrince Neeks!ā
It was a reporter. And NiccolĆ², disdain clear on his face, closed the button of his jacket. His lips were tilted downwards, his chin and nose all scrunched up.
āItās NiccolĆ².ā
Ā Will was doubled over in laughter, half down the couch. NiccolĆ² sat still, only a slight twitch on his mouth, not quite a smile. Not quite a frown either.
Ā āSo, how does it feel like to be the Prince?ā
āWell. Iāve always been a prince, so. It feels like every other day feels.ā
The reporter laughed. āCanāt say I know what that is.ā
NiccolĆ² nodded. The reporter nodded. They nodded at each other.
Ā āGod, this is such a torture.ā
āYou really do make everything awkward. I wish Iād filmed our first few hours together.ā
NiccolĆ² groaned from behind his hands.
āI would be a billionaire by now.ā
Ā āNico say hi!ā Came Piperās voice from behind the camera. She was filming an Instagram story.
Nico looked up. He was sitting in front of a piano, a grimace on his face as soon as he took in the scene. He didnāt move.
Eventually, he waved. He sent a panicked glance to something behind Piperās phone.
āSay hi!ā Piper insisted.
āHello.ā
āHi.ā
āBut I did!ā
āYou shouldāve said hi.ā
He hesitated. Sighed. Waved again. āHi.ā
Ā āYou have a beautiful soul,ā a girl told NiccolĆ², holding her phone in his face.
His gaze was focused on something out of the frame, a grimace on his face. āYours, too.ā
The girlās phone fell, her gasp alerting NiccolĆ² that something was happening in front of him. From the ground, the camera still recorded.
āSorry. You were saying about your sauce?ā
Ā NiccolĆ² fell asleep a little after their third video. It wasnāt even half past ten, but he snored lightly. Will lowered the TV volume, put the red blanket with reindeers on him, and leaned back into the couch.
NiccolĆ² was beautiful. He was beautiful under the sun, when the snow glowed all around them. He was beautiful in the morning, when he always stopped mid-stairs to rub his eyes. He was beautiful as Will watched him, with the blue light of the TV, the golden one of the fireplace, shining on the little pout he always wore as he slept.
The knot enveloping Willās stomach tightened. He took the remote again, and searched for another video. He was met with his parentsā faces in the home. They were young back then. He clicked before he even realized it.
āBefore Apolloās new auto-biographic film comes out next March, we decided to take a walk down memory-line, with the evergreen love between Apollo and Naomi. Both young when they met, they had just become part of the music world. Their first single together sold millions of copies, enough toāā
So enthralled on the old family photos, Will didnāt realize NiccolĆ² had awoken, and his hand had sneaked around Willās wrist.
āSo you are a fan?ā
Will looked away from the TV. It was so strange, hearing the woman talk (gossip) about his family, and having NiccolĆ² in the same room. Guilt fell heavy on his chest, constricting his lungs.
Iām their son.
āIāā His breath broke.
They are my parents.
āThey āā
They are the reason I canāt look at you and think we could ever work, even if we fell in love and were crazy for each other.
āA fan, yeah.ā
NiccolĆ² smiled, stretching his arms. When he stretched his legs, he grimaced. āYeah, I thought so. You looked pretty taken with Apollo the other day.ā
Will nodded. āYeah.ā
āHe has a sister, you know?ā He yawned, his mouth opened so much his jaw could have dislocated.
Will nodded again. He knew. He had only met her on two occasions, his brothersā funerals. If his siblingsā funerals were the only times they would ever meet, Will hoped to never see her again.
āI donāt like her,ā NiccolĆ² mumbled. His eyes drifted closed, and a second later he was snoring again.
Less than a minute, and his cheek was on Willās shoulder. Dark hair brushed again his nose, and he took a long breath. Pomegranate. NiccolĆ² tasted of them.
Will turned off the TV, and closed his eyes. He wasnāt tired, but he matched NiccolĆ²ās breath. He slept.
Ā Spotted!
Prince Nico of Elysium and his soulmate have been spotted being cozy in Livigno. Although their stay in the Italian city was made public days ago, clear photos of them hadnāt been released yet (go to gallery). The Princeās sexuality has been subject of speculation for many years, with Cupidāsāstage name of famous papāconfirmation that he is, indeed, homosexual.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!
DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE MOVIE!!!!
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND WATCH THE MOVIE ASAP!!!
The really beautiful thing about Onward is that it gave us a disfuntional sibling relationship where the older sibling isnāt the paragon of success and the pillar of idealizaation for the younger sibling. The last time we had this was Lilo and Stitch, and even then the relationship they had was much more parent-to-child than it was sisters.
Sure, Lilo and Nani fought like sisters, and they bickered, and they very much shared the key dynamic that is much older siblings caring for their much younger non-womb-incured baby but thatās the thing. Their age difference and maturity level required that Nani be more of a mom a lot sooner to Lilo than a sister. I relate to that because I have 2 sisters, and their relationship is sooooooo different than the relationship I have with either of them. The relationship I have with my youngest sister (15 years younger than me) is the relationship Nani and Lilo have with each other.
Every time I see that movie, I feel Naniās frustration when sheās trying to correct Lilo, when sheās trying to get her to do something. When she loses her patience and then says some stuff she really shouldnāt have and gosh dang it, this authority figure who was NOT supposed to hear that heard and now I have to figure out how to not get in trouble bc FUDGE BROWNIES!!! But their relationship is more like what we see when Nani gets fired and when Lilo asks her if it was her fault, she says that no, that he boss was actually a vampire and he wanted her to join his army of evil undead.
What does Lilo say? āI knew it.ā
What does Nani respond? Nothing. She just rolls with it and doesnāt make her second guess her words. Their relationship is sister when it comes with dealing with each otherās quirks and not pointing out theyāre quirks bc theyāve grown up together. They know all the weird things that would be weird from other people, or even WERE weird at some point but their parents reprimanded them for being rude about how they pointed it out, and so now theyāve learned to shrug it off or just not even flinch around said quirks.
But Ian and Barleyās relationship is much like the relationship I have with my slightly older little sister. Sheās 13 years younger than me but by god would you swear the ages were reversed. Sheās smart, creative, clever, logical, very organized, EASILY embarrased by me, and has her life already planned out and ready for success.
I am only like Nani in how I know my youngest, and how weāre disfunctional but functional in our own way. And thank god, we donāt have to worry about it just being us. I am much more like Barley. I already graduated but Iām kind of in my own gap year at the moment. Not so much bc Iām taking a break but because Iām having such a hard time finding a job. Iām very enthusiastic about things Iām passionate about. I can be loud and obnoxious, and sometimes when I try to help I make things worse. I absolutely adore my siblings and am always giving them hugs and am just very *loud* in how I express my love for them. With my Lilo, she could care less. She rolls with it bc this is what Iāve always been like and she doesnāt know any different version of me. But with my Ian, she cringes. She freaks out. She pretends to not know me. Sheās embarrased by me...
I am her Barley and I cringed when I realized (literally as soon as Ian started complaining about him and his ātoysā) bc this was the very beginning and I get that there were going to be some brotherly conflicts but I did not expect the level of similarities the brothers would share to my own dynamic with my sister.
I cried a lot during the movie and not so much because of some heartbreak or sad scene or whatnot. I cried because there were so many scenes were Barely was doing his best. Where he was saying something he really shouldnāt have been saying but he didnāt realize thatās something you shouldnāt say bc heās so pure and honest and his filter doesnāt work and gosh dangit, now heās in trouble! There were so many things that caused my sister to yell āThatās you!ā and just as many that made me yell āIām sorry!ā But the scene that we both felt that we were both extremely tense and quiet through was the transformation spell and the lie Ian said that hurt Barley so much.
I know my sister thinks Iām a failure. She literally tells me every time sheās made āAt least Iām not the 25 year old without a job.ā Or āPlease, when Iām 16 Iām probably going to be the one teaching you how to drive.ā And my āfavorite,ā āI should be the one in charge bc Iām not the one with a disease!ā What disease was she reffering to? Social Anxiety. Depression. Autism. Queer. Iām not the sister she expects or wants. Iām the one sheās stuck with. And because I donāt reach her standards for what she thinks someone my age should be like, she thinks Iām a failure.
This movie made me cry so much. I hope it made her think about our relationship too, and maybe how we can both improve how we interact with one another. Itās only been 1 day since we saw but it really struck a chord (multiple actually), and I canāt let it go.
Onward gave us brothers who donāt see each other equally. Barley loves his brother, but he will always see him with a fatherly lense. He canāt help it. His life experiences shaped that role in him too much. Heāll be a world class dad when he has his own children, but heās too much of a dad to his little brother. And Ian sees Barley as his immature brother. He took the fact that he didnāt have his dad around as a cue to grow up as soon as possible. To be the adult he thought his dad would want him to be. He may have just had the personality that made him much more mature, more needing adult acceptance, and needing to have some sort of control, but it was the presumed lack of a father figure that made him act older and not give himself to enjoy the llittle things or see what was right in front of him.
I love that their relationship becomes much equal. Yes, Barley is still a father figure, but he also stepped down to be more of a brother to give Ian space. And Ian recognized what Barley did for him, what Barley always tried to be for him. He accepts Barleyās affection a bit better because he recognizes that Barley needs Ian to know he really does love him. He also understands better why Ian is the man he is, and why he makes the decisions he makes. They understand each other better and though nothing has really changed in how they interact, itās the paradigm shift that was what saved their relationship so that when theyāre 50 and look back on life, they can look back at all the wonderful memories theyāve shared and not look back on a life where they grew distant as soon as Ian was old enough to leave for college and not be forced to interact with his brother.
Onward is an amazing movie with a powerful sibling relationship. Not because they loved each other so much and fought to show the other how much they loved each other but because they had them realize what they already had and to not squander that.
If you read this and havenāt watched Onward, what are you doing???? Go get your booty to the nearest screen and either rent it or use the DIsney+ free trial to watch! If you did watch it, thank you for listening to my personal essay and why Onward means so much to me. I know I probably overshared but this movie is my āin an alternate, genderbend-fantasy-universe, My Ian and I are Barley and Ianā movie. I love it and I hope you do (or will) too.

hey i found an essay from may that i had to write for my english class. we were supposed to do aĀ āstream of consciousnessā essay about quarantine.Ā
idk i just thought itād be fun to show yall my inner monologue
fair warning: this was written at one am and features huge amounts of oversharing
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ah, quarantine. Everyoneās favorite time. Not. I don't really know what I was expecting. I thought it would be a few weeks at home, Iād get to relax, catch up on some shows Iāve been meaning to watch and a month later everything would go back to normal. Boy was I wrong! Time seems to move differently in quarantine. March felt three years long and Iām not entirely convinced April happened. I wish there was more to do. I hate being bored so much. At this point Iād take more school work over boredom. That's big, coming from me.Ā
Ā āBut Cy,ā I hear you say, āquarantine has given you so much time to do all those things you want to do! How can you possibly be bored?ā The funny thing is, after about two weeks there isn't much left to do. My problem is that I binge watch shows and finish them too fast. I watched Gravity Falls the two days. Thatās 20 episodes a day. At that rate, I could watch everything on netflix by the time quarantine is over. But, Iāve already watched all the good shows, Iāve played all the games, read all the books. Iāve baked so many cookies I might die if I eat one more. I have nothing to do but go on walks and refresh my social media over and over to see if anyone else has posted anything. That gets dull fast.
But I suppose itās not all bad. Without quarantine, I never would have gotten discord and made all my new friends. Back in March, (wow, has it really been that long?) a group of freshmen made a discord server so we could all keep in touch or get help with homework while our classes are online. Then through a friend I was invited to another server for LGBTQ+ people trying to make friends. Through that server I got invited to another and through that one another. Now Iām on 13 servers and have a ton of friends! Itās weird to think that this horrible pandemic can have such positive side effects.Ā
This isnāt caused by the virus, but itās affecting my quarantine so I guess it counts. My older sister is coming home for good. Sheās been living in Utah for a little over a year now and this will be my first time seeing her since February. Itās not that I didnāt miss her, I did. Itās just Sarah is super homophobic/transphobic. I mean, my whole family is to an extent, but at least my dad and yonder siblings try to understand the LGBTQ+ community. It occurs to me, as Iām writing this, that I don't know how out of the closet I am. For context, Iām asexual and panromantic. I came out as pan to my younger sisters in September, my older sister in November and the rest of my family in December. ā
sisters took it really well. Sarah did not. She almost outed me to my mom before I was ready, which was majorly not cool. Everytime she comes home we end up arguing politics and it's just a generally not fun time for all involved. She gets home on Saturday and Iām supposed to be nice to her. I really don't want to see her, much less be quarantined with her. Being around her is like having a second, shorter mom who doubles as a try hard therapist. In other words, bossy and annoying. Maybe Iām being a little harsh, sheās not really all that bad, but iād rather not have her around 24/7. She can be a lot to handle.Ā
On the other hand, my mom told me earlier that she's trying to get me an appointment to get me an official diagnosis for anxiety. A diagnosis means a prescription, which should help me stay calm while I'm stuck indoors so that's cool.Ā
I feel like I'm really oversharing. But I mean you did ask for an inner monologue and these are my thoughts. I could take out all the bad parts, but Iām almost at two pages and I want to go to bed. Iām writing this at one am, because that's when my words flow best. Any other time, I worry about what Iām saying, whether or not itās ārightā. But at one in the morning, my brain stops caring and that lets me just think whatever thoughts I want and write them down. But of course, saying that has ruined it and Iām now worried about doing it right. You said āstream of consciousness styleā about quarantine, but my stream of consciousness doesn't stay on one topic for very long. I think I did it right. It all relates to quarantine in one way or another so itās probably fine.Ā
So, yeah, there it is. My thoughts on quarantine. I feel like this needs a concussion, but that doesn't seem very āstream of consciousnessā to me. If i was to give this a TL;DR, Iād say: Quarantine is boring, but I made friends. Also Iām tired and I overshare things. Thats kind of like a conclusion, right? Itās good enough for me.
#i changed a few words so it didnt have my deadname#but other than that this is what i turned in#so yeah#i say shit

* . day to night , darkĀ to light Ā Ā fall theĀ s a n d sĀ o fĀ t i m eĀ .
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā { ross lynch, twenty-one, trans male, he/him } Have you seen ZELD CYELN āCIELā NOHANSEN walking around? Ā Little do they know, theyāre the child of LINK & PRINCESS ZELDA from THE LEGEND OF ZELDA, and they HAVE TWO SIBLINGS ( one older, one younger ) . Ā I guess that explains why theyāre so CHARMING & ARTISTIC and GUARDED & INSECURE. Ā They are a STREAMER. ā penned by eve.
FIRST THINGS FIRST.
Hello hello again , folks !! Itās EVE and if you thought I went completely feral about Resident Evil earlier you are . . . sorely mistaken because now we are in ZeldaĀ territory and Zelda encompasses literally every fiber of my being. This OC is my most beloved ( despite the fact heās an absolute prick )Ā and I have been itchingĀ to write him as a next-gen of Zelink , so VOILA , but just a few things !!
I love The Legend of Zelda . . . a lot. Thatās the first thing. And my friends call me the Zelda lorekeeper since I know pretty much everything about the games like that back of my hand.
Another - as itās always been a fact about his character , Ciel here is diagnosed with Type II Bipolar. NowĀ , I want to clarify that I also am the same , and he was originally written as a comfort character to sorta see myself in a character I wrote ( and he became his own dude over the years. )Ā Itās not something thatāll pop up often , but I just wanted to let yāall know since Iām not gonna erase my own repĀ , I write from experience since Iām the same.Ā
TWS AHEAD : Manipulation , mental illness
I. THE PAST - DO YOU REMEMBER ??
The second of The Hero & The Princess - Prince Zeld Cyeln NohansenĀ , carrying on the traditional naming conventions to keep the name Zelda in the family with obvious corruptions. Your older brother could not - and AS WELL , you are the only child in the family that possesses the holy powers of the royal bloodline that your mother carries , as shown by the brand of the Triforce on the back of your right hand. And immediately , expectations are thrust upon your shoulders before you can even walk.
Itās because of your power that you , instead of the eldest , are to succeed the throne as the next king of Hyrule once you become of age , and although your mother vows to not treat you the same as your father treat her , she often reminds you that the beautiful , sunlight-bathed kingdom will be yours.Ā
So you grow. You grow & you adapt to the life of royalty , the CROWN PRINCE , and your relationship with your parents is better than most. While youāre significantly closer to your mother than your father , spending your days in the library with her & learning how to paint her visage , you also follow your father out to scope the kingdom on horseback. You grow up kind & gentle , the intelligence of your mother but the softness of your father , and it is well-known throughout the kingdom that you are DESTINED for good things.
Itās when youāre fourteen years old that you meet a boy.
A boy your age , a boy who smiles at you and you get fairies fluttering in your stomach. A boy who tells you that youāre pretty and by NayruĀ are you getting your first crush ??Ā
Hm.
But you canāt see through the lies - that even though youāre young , manipulation knows no age and you are heartbrokenĀ to find that this boy leads you to a group of bandits that go on the attack and aim to STEAL the raw power you carry. After youāre tricked into bringing magical artifacts to their clutches , that is , that your family has gathered over the years - the goddess harp , the ocarina of time , and the cursed , wicked Majoraās Mask.
Your father sweeps into rescue you , and although you feel guilty , you arenāt berated for your mistakes. He only wants to know what happened , and if youāre alright , and youāre a sobbing mess but you tell your parents everythingĀ and they recognize that the evil forces that plagued them are NOW targeting their offspring.Ā
You are only fourteen. But the betrayal turns you coldĀ , and you close yourself off , now hesitant to trust. And you learn that there are DANGEROUS forces out there who want to hurt & use you in the same way , hence why you use your motherās old study connected to her old bedroom ( now currently yours ) and you begin to researchĀ , researchĀ , research. You look back on the legends of old , and start practicing the magic of not only your bloodline , but the taboo power of shadow - such as that of the TWILI , a project aiming to recreate the mirror. You also use the maskĀ , hoping to tap into the wicked power it carries to turn it around. You train with the Sheikah , as Sheikah blood runs in your veins as well , to master the art of using the shadows & the unseen to your advantage. You become a teenager devoted to your work - a mad scientist & magician , and the whispers of aĀ ā mad alchemist prince ā sweep throughout the kingdom due to the rumors you can stay awake for DAYS working on one thing , before crashing and moving onto the next.Ā
But there is still pain - a loneliness & a hurt which you try to bury deep down , but itāll still consume you to the point where you donāt know how to think clearly. You try and mask yourself best you can , but there is stillĀ a little boy , deep down , who only wishes to be loved and cared for and cherished by people his own age. Your work is your comfort but you are alsoĀ learning to sink yourself in it to the point where itās becoming a hindrance.Ā
One day , maybe , youāll get what you want - and everything will be okay. But the world is currently at your throat , so . . . how long will that be ??
Your sixteenth year changes everything. The Crown Prince goes missing , and he is lost without the comfort of his parents.
And he awakens in another day , as a new being , with only his wit & his charm to carry on.
II. PRESENT - WHO ARE YOU , YOURSELF ??
Okay so IN A NUTSHELL Ciel is the crown prince of Hyrule due to the fact heās essentially theĀ āZeldaā of his generation - the only child that carries the sacred power of the goddess Hylia , and this kid is incrediblyĀ smart and artistic but due to being manipulated by dark forces when he was young , heās EXTREMELY insecure and lacks trust , instead trying to become as powerful as possible by any means possible so he isnāt hurt again since now heās a target like his parents were.
HIS CHARACTER . . . is incrediblyĀ complex. It doesnāt change much with or without memories because even though he hasnāt experienced that same shit , those trust issues & insecurities are still well-embedded into him. The main difference is that heās stillĀ smart , but not because of excessive research on Hyrulean magic & history & technology.
ON THE SURFACE , Ciel appears to be honestly very exuberant , quick-talking , and , to some , annoying. Heās a bit of a loudmouth ,Ā he seems harmless in the aspect that he isnāt downright meanĀ or anything , heās just . . . a nuisance. Charming in the aspect that he knows how to talk his way out of any situation since he has a MOUTH on him , but he knows how to use it. He overshares , it seems , but in turn , heās actually not revealing anything about himself of any importance. Heās just keeping his cards to his chest but he doesnāt anyone to see so , so he places counterfeit cards on the table.
Ciel is alwaysĀ one step ahead , and the best way to be is to convince everyone else that youāre far behind.Ā
NOW ON THE INSIDE . . . Ciel is extremelyĀ caring & gentle. He cares a lotĀ about the people he loves , but heās hesitant to open up or trust other people given the fact he doesnāt want to be hurt , and he doesnāt want to make mistakes. Heās very observant & again , incredibly intelligent , knowing well how to read the atmosphere and pick out things that most donāt notice. He is insecure in the fact that he constantly thinks horribly of himself , and although heās great at hiding it , itās easy to get his feelings hurt. He hatesĀ that he has to keep on a mask since it makes him easily unlikable , but he thinks itās the only way to stave off the most damage. But heās a good kid & has a heart of goldĀ , itās just that . . . his heart has a few booboos on it. He CRAVES love & validation & affection but heās afraid to ask for it or to take it since heās gone down worse roads before by opening up to the wrong people.
Heās an artist - veryĀ talented in drawing & painting !!Ā His apartment is littered with sketches & drawings and supplies and he wouldāveĀ gone to art school but money is tight and he doesnāt know heās a prince in his actual reality so . . . yeah.
But his day job is that heās a VERY popular video game streamer named Alchemyst , mainly doing letās plays of adventure games & stuff with friends to get a good laugh. He alsoĀ has a tendency to go on hilarious rants in a lot of his videos , resulting in MANY fanmade compilations & memes. Heās got a dedicated fanbase that he openly adoresĀ , and streaming also sorta helps him since he is a bit afraid of going into the outside world slightly.Ā
Itās funny , because as a streamer , he isnāt at all obnoxious or annoying - itās the closest he gets to acting like himself , even if he has to act a little more EXTROVERTED than he actually is.Ā
THATāS THE BASIS again , much more of a show than tell character but . . . Love him. I love him.
I DONāT have much ideas for wanted connections at this point aside from like . . . friends , exes , crushes , enemies , fans of his stream , etc. When I get more of a braincell Iāll put specific stuff down , but if it HELPS his fake life is shrouded in mystery bc Ciel doesnāt like talking about it ( aka , his fake past was p bad so he just prefers to act like he came out of fucking nowhere. )
But thatās it !! Iāll b responding to starters & calls soooon ~ !Ā I am ALL for plotting if u guys want , so just hit me up on here or Discord n Iāll respond as soon as I can !!

How do - you - see Sae and Makoto's relationship during P5 and after ?
ok so USUALLY i keep my meta to my own characters. but. i love sae and iād love to talk about her and makoto lmfaoooooo.
okay so. i am ALSO an older sister. and i have kind of become the caretaker of the household in recent years, though my parents are still alive (they just both have jobs and are too tired to cook & clean.)
me and my brotherās relationship now that heās gone off to college and become a liberal environmentalist who is honestly considering going vegan bc of his food ethics class? itās legit. weāll talk for literal hours about his dnd character and his life and our parents and. literally everything. and we have so much in common, bc weāre both big nerds with similar political views.
but it wasnāt like, always like that? when he was in high shool in particular, and i was going through a really rough time with our parents and having to take over with the cooking and cleaning and things, he would legitimately yell at me like all the time! part of it was that he didnāt want me to act like i was his mom (because i am a legitimately very bossy person and i would yell at him to help me and stuff) but also part of it was because he resented me for not playing with him when we were kids. he was a lonely kid---he didnāt want a mom, he wanted a playmate, or ANYBODY to look after him and take care of him, and i never wanted to be that for him, until i was FORCED into the position of caretaker.
i honestly think a lot of older sibling/younger sibling relationships are like that. just. really fraught with tension while the younger sibling projects all these ideas of what a family should be on to the older sibling (whether that be a perfect playmate, or a mother-figure, or a toy, or whatever)---and the older sibling (big sisters in particular) is always forced to feel like the younger sibling is simply bothering them as they have to take on so many more responsibilities around the household because of their age and gender.
older sisters are generally viewed asĀ āthird parentsā to help raise a child. my parents sometimes refer to me as THEIR parent, lol. but older sisters are often still children themselves when they take on the role of caregiver---and theyāre ill-equipped for it, because they never signed up for this role, and they have their OWN lives and ambitions to worry about.
often times in movies (especially teen movies in the west) the older sister is portrayed as a debbie thorneberry type who just wants to talk to her punk teenage friends and play on her cell phone instead of play babysitter. while we can all relate to that to a degree as big sisters---sae shows a different side of theĀ āTOO grown up big sisterā---one that has more grown up desires, ones for justice and truth, a real CAREER woman who obviously has her own social life, and motivations, but who, at her core, has REVOLUTIONARY motivations for social change, and protecting the innocent on top of her grown up needs to take care of makoto and rise up in her career. itās a lot less stereotypical, and a lot more INVOLVED and like, plot relevant instead of a one-note joke.
this is what makes sae so interesting to me as a character.
sae represents, to me, the process of growing up and into yourself as a big sister who doesnāt necessarily want to grow up. we see this in how she immaturely treats her sister, often lashing out at her when her sister is only trying to help her---but also in her palace, which is literally all about treating life as a GAME that she has to win.
when saeās heart is stolen, i think she is forced to mature---but realizing she doesnāt HAVE to be so fake-mature, i think? she turns from this forced maturity, this forced seriousness and hard work at something she doesnāt really believe in that hides the immature way of looking at the world---into a REAL hard work that could ACTUALLY change things and help the world AND her and her sister, and she turns from theĀ āGET OUT OF MY ROOM MAKOTOā to the ACTUAL healthy adult caregiver way of looking at her family and relationships not asĀ āi have to do everything for my sister so sheās a burden on me that means i canāt do as much workā (snowballing into BUT I HAVE TO DO WORK FOR HER) toĀ āi love my sister, sheās a bright, strong young woman who shares and EMBODIES many of my ideals who i am proud of and i want her to be a part of my life and share my burdens and doubts with her when i can healthily do so.ā
when sae can do this, and grow as a person and a caregiver this way, i think not only will it help their relationship and give them the closeness that makoto obviously wants---itāll help makoto grow up better too, and have the support system and the family she needs instead of the nagging big sister she only sees as someone who will is constantly abandoning her and leaving her on her own, u know?
idkkkkkkkk this is so long and i overshared but like. sae and makoto are really important to me lol i loooove them

Word count:Ā
Roman had noticed a few things lately. One at the forefront of his mind was that Patton Heart was really fucking adorable.
Of course, nobody could know of this. If anyone of his friends found out he would be screwed.
Yes, his whole friend group were gay (or ace, or bi, or pan or nonbinary) disasters, but they were also incredibly good wing-people, with a high rate of getting two people dating -- and Roman didnāt want to ruin the naturalness of their friendship.
And worse he couldnāt let anyone know that The Emperor had a crush. And by extension, that meant that he couldnāt allow his crime-fighting partner (and asshat of an older brother) to find out; Virgilās tongue was always looser when donned with the costume of Poison Shadow. And the city would be in an uproar of the thought of The Emperor liking someone romantically- and if it ever got out who it was, it would put Patton in serious danger.
But Roman couldnāt help but notice the little smiles Patton gets when talking about some of the animals in the shelter he volunteered at, or the ways his eyes light up when he gushed about the heroes of the city.
The way his open gaze instilled a feeling of trust.
And dear lord it was not helping the gay mess that was Roman Kingston.
āAlright, shithead, whatās up with you?ā
āI tell you and Iām doomed you insolent sloth.ā The owner of the monotonous voice shot a glance at the prying sibling.
āRight. Thatās really fucking useful to know.ā Dripping sarcasm; the asshat was not only prying but also getting annoyed now! Yay!
āOh, piss off. Let me be a disaster in peace.ā
The elder stood, shaking his head, before walking to the other edge of the rooftop they were perched on.
āHurry up! Today is a sparring day.ā Virgil, seeing Roman making no attempt to move, pushed forward with his mind, pushing the darkest shadows up until they were able to slap Roman across the face. āCome on, idiot. The night isnāt gonna last forever!ā
Grumbling, the man in his late teens stood from his position on the edge of the rooftop, reluctantly turning at the end of the roof, with sarcastic jazz hands at his sides.
And just like that, they were sparring. Virgil completely flattened The Emperor in 3 separate rounds before some sense seemed to be knocked into the dramatic heroās head. The furious flashes of light and dark clashed throughout the area, silent except the heavy breathing of the men, and the jibes thrown between the space between them.
It was another while before they were tired, as their sparring took place at least twice a week- they needed to stay in shape even over their sports and workouts.
Roman sat on the edge of the rooftop next to his brother, slowly regaining his breath.
When the villain attacked, it was not appreciated by the two teens. They were tired and generally unwilling to have to use their already exhausted powers. Their fighting was lacklustre and they took any moment they could to stop and perch off railings or on rooftops.
Flashes of light across the night were brief but would warp the situation, allowing shadows, viscous as ink moved away in slow patterns, stalking the villain until finding itās perfect time to strike, pushing the villain backwards, dragging them forwards then dropping them off the edge of the building.
Yet the villain didnāt waver in power. At a mere flick of fingers, the Emperor fell backwards, barely left any time to make a platform for him to stagger onto.
How were they going to get this person then?
āWhat does your immoral soul bother us with, foul villain?ā
āOh, nothing really. I was just bored, so I decided to mess around with these powers I earnt the other day.ā
The pale blue light of the moon offset by the warmer glow from the Emperor's hand gave enough light to see fangs flash under the mask that covered the upper half of their face.
āWhy set about destroying the city, fuckwad? Why not just, I donāt know, sleep, like a normal person?ā
āEw, no, sleep? That drains me more. Plus, donāt we all need to have a little bit of chaos in our lives?ā
Roman could feel the eyes rolling in his elderās head.
āWhat the fuck about us two says put together, dipshit? Weāre fucking disasters!ā
āMy fair partner has a valid point. We are fucking disasters ,ā Roman eyed the inky lattice forming under the villain's feet for a second before he continued. āWeāre both messes of human beings in general- have you seen his room, it's an atrocity - and my room has far too much stuff that I am far too attached to get rid of. Then there's the point that weāre both doing this along with studying for school which in itself drains your energy and the final point is, well,āāthe smirk thrown his way by Poison Shadow was all he neededāāWe really arenāt all that dumb.ā
Poison Shadow ripped his fist upwards, the shadowed lattice folding and bending around the villain, as the Emperor reached out and began to set the still fluid shadows. The cage kept the villain in, and finally, the villain showed some kind of emotion; fear radiated from their composure; arms wrapped around their torso, fist fiddling with their cloak edge, shoulders up to their ears.
Roman pitied the now much smaller opponent. Ego and expectations of power high in their mind with newfound strength ruled their minds. The Emperor turned away, patting Poison Shadow on the back as went after he silently checked his brother was okay with dealing with him.
As he crossed the bridged gap between buildings, he heard his brotherās cry, and then he felt himself flying backwards over buildings, body limp as a rag doll as his brain tried to comprehend which was up or down or the sky or ground. Once he finally stopped moving, he found himself winded and bruised and somehow not broken- though he felt it- on a balcony. With a very familiar curious face peering down at him.
Patton. Fucking. Heart.
It was his luck, wasnāt it? Heād get thrown about like an unused toy to be left in his worst state on the balcony of one of his favourite people in the world.
āOh my goodness, are you all right? Is anything broken? Do you need some water, food, comfort?ā The stream of babble poured from Patton, his pale blue eyes wide with worry, both searching his body to analyse for damage and keeping eye contact to calm the disorientated hero.
Thank goodness these powers strengthen my bones and skin.
āUhmā¦ I thinkā¦ Iāll be,ā The Emperor was interrupted by a fit of coughing, which he dealt with but rolling onto his front and slowly making his way to his knees. āActually, could I, uh, have a glass of water.ā
Patton nodded earnestly, and even through the lingering dizziness pounding in his mind, Roman could make out the curls of Pattonās hair reflecting the cool blue of the moon. The smaller figure retreated into the building, just as Roman felt a buzz in his pocket.
Pulling out the smartphone, he huffed at the once again smashed screen to read the text he received.
Very Early Womb-mate - 11:35
-- sorry dude didnt see that coming
-- dick had us fooled into thinkin he was subdued
--you went flying tho, it was kinda hilarious
-- i got it handled, heās trapped until police arrive
Me - 11:38
--oh ok
Very Early Womb-mate - 11:39
-- u ok? Or do i need to pick u up
Me - 11:40
-- nah itās cool i landed on a classmates balcony, just a bit dizzy
Very Early Womb-mate - 11:40
-- cool, dickwad, dont reveal anything
Me - 11:40
-- bold of you to assume i would
-- k byeeee xxx :)))))
Very Early Womb-mate - 11:41
-- :/
Patton returned, carrying the glass.
āIām so sorry it took me so long to get back, my parents were wondering what happened and I figured you didn't want to be crowded so I just made up a lie and then they got me to do a quick job and uhā here.ā
Roman took the drink, downing as much of it as he could, before stopping to try and stand.
āTough villain, huh?ā
āYeah, I guess. I was knocked back ācos I was caught off guard. I thought Poison had got them - he was inside a huge cage, you see - so when he lashed out again after being subdued it surprised us.ā
Roman looked over the city wistfully. The sky was clear and the air was fresh, with little to no breeze. Roman took this time to notice that Patton was wearing only his pyjamas and a zip hoodie thrown over the top.
āDo you need to help Poison Shadow then? It looked like you were thrown far.ā
āNah, Patton, he sent a few texts to say he handled it.ā
Patton nodded in understanding, before cocking his head sideways.
āWait, you know me?ā
Shit.
Roman ran through his words and cursed at his loose mouth.
āUh, oh yeah,ā Roman coughed out, scratching at his neck, unconsciously picking at the skin. āYou, uh, go to the same school as me. Weāre in the same year, actually.ā
Youāre oversharing! The voice of his brother rang out in his head.
āWait, really?ā
God, Roman absolutely adored the way Pattonās eyes lit up, the tiny specks of green almost glowing in the natural light around them. Anything else and Roman might actually die on the spot. He just thanked his younger-little-dramatic-shit self and wanted to hide his and Virgeās faces from the world - at least Patton wouldn't be able to see his glowing red face.
āThatās so cool! I could tell you were a teen, I didnāt realise you were like, that close to me!ā Patton waved his hands about excitedly, and thatās it. Roman felt like he was melting into a puddle. His friend was so cute, and he just wanted to hold Patton to his chest and treasure him and spoil him with cakes and serenades and movie nights.
Roman somehow managed to keep talking for a while, but he was going to go insane soon. He just wanted to give Patton a hug, goddamnit !
They were shook from their conversation by the door opening to reveal Declan Heart, whose eyes flew open at the visitor Patton apparently had.
āOh my god, Logan, come out here,ā he hissed out of the side of his mouth, mismatching eyes darting from the sheepish look on Patton's face to the city known hero on his houseās balcony.
When Declanās twin cast appeared in the doorway, Patton waved, somewhat cheery, opposed to Romanās more fidgety behaviour, his skin prickling under the gazes of the two older twins. He had only met Logan on one occasion, and he was intimidated, to say the least. Ā
āSuprise!ā Patton giggled, with jazz hands waving at his brothers, very different from the delivery Virgil would have given in this situation.
āI knew that there was a lie somewhere in your excuse earlier!ā Declanās quiet exclamation made its way into the silence, but this just made Roman more uncomfortable under the blank stare he was receiving from Logan.
"Well, I had to because otherwise, this ," ā Patton waved at the group they had formed around the hero ā "would happen and the last thing that needs to happen after being thrown really far and being bashed about is being crowded. Plus, this was my lucky day." Patton giggled, throwing a wink sideways to Roman, and oh no , Roman was a mess. He felt like spontaneously combusting while gripping his heart and dramatically dying on the floor where he stood.
Yet the only reaction to this was somehow a brief panic before a smile broke out and Roman was able to laugh along a bit.
"Patton, why, might I ask, did you conceal this from both me and Declan? I understand your point on crowded-ness but you also know of our fascination with the heroes and our possible future career paths."
Logan's words made Patton look down guiltily, revealing that Logan's words were true, but he fiddled with his bracelet on his wrist before looking upwards towards the elder twin.
"Because... Because I didn't want to?"
Patton then frowned, looking almost... angry. But not towards anyone- his gaze was at the floor, more as if he was angry at himself. Logan let a smile slip onto his lips, the same teasing smile once Virgil managed to wind up Roman.
"Valid reasoning. I know for a fact my excuse would be more or less the same."
Patton brightened up again, but Roman didn't have a chance to admire him again as Declan had burst out with an exclamation asking for an autograph.
This whisked away Roman's attention for a while, ending up in a selfie with the three with his magic glowing through his veins for proof of authenticity and various things being signed as well as a note Roman felt obligated to write to the Heart parents for their (unknown) hospitality.
He even got all of them to make a small piece of memorabilia for him to keep to remember them should he not be able to visit them again. Logan gave a small origami gift, Declan a yellow feather. In Patton's case, he had to think for a few seconds before his face absolutely lit up. He rushed a tiny, absolutely minuscule potted cactus, the plant itself being about the size of his thumb, to roman, with the most adorable and sincere face.
"Here! Take Ophelia - I grew her myself. That being said, it's probably best you don't have a feel of her , she's a bit prickly!"
A groan rumbled in Logan's throat at the pun, contrasting the chuckles from Roman and Dec, followed by the all too familiar buzz of Roman's phone.
Very Early Womb-mate - 12:56
-- What the FuCK you ass?? its been an hour or so what the fuck is taking you so long?????
-- mom's gonna start to freak, u need to get home as soon as u can
-- idiot
Me - 11:56
-- aksdflaksdhfkljkj what the fuck i lost track of time heck i'll get home asap
Roman shoved his cracked phone into a pocket and grinned sheepishly.
"My brother has warned me against impending doom known as my mother and her lectures if I don't return home soon. I thank you all for your lovely donations of memorabilia and allowing me to stay. However, it is nearly 1 o'clock and we have been out here an awfully long time. Farewell, fellow humans!"
Roman turned away, climbing over the railing and forming a golden step of light in front of him.
"Ah, right, that reminds me. We were sent up here to make sure you hadn't fallen asleep up here Patton. We got sidetracked though. Come on, Pat." Logan chimed.
As Roman was leaping away over steps made for him, he could faintly hear Patton respond about watering 'Candice' and 'Bobby', which he could assume were plants, before heading inside.
Roman luckily escaped with his hide when he managed to sneak in through the window just in time before his mom burst in, looking for him. He used the excuse of being on his phone as a reason for being awake - which did admittedly get his phone taken away - but at least he wouldn't have to listen to a rant.
And as he settled to sleep, he was caught up in thinking. Remembering. Adoring.
Yes, Roman was a mess, but at least tonight he could sleep easy after the beautiful image of Patton in the moonlight, playful glint in his eyes; him holding out a tiny cactus supplied with a pun; his excited face once he realised something interesting.
It wasn't much, but to Roman it was everything.

My family and queerness:
Idk why this was on my mind to share but here we are. Oversharing as always.
Let's start with ME! I am pansexual non-binary AFAB who goes by they/them. I am the only queer person in my immediate family besides my SIL. I began my queer journey in 2nd grade when I kissed a girl under a cafeteria table. But I am 25 and have never had a relationship.
My mom gives off big dyke energy. Like she was a tomboy growing up. She is very masculine and for most of my life SHE was the head of the house not my dad. She says she only had a gay dream while living with her bisexual mother in law and blames the "demons in that apartment". She's straight as far as any of us know and a recovering homophobe. She threatened to slap me in a Wendy's because I told her about a girl I liked in college. And she refuses to use my correct pronouns.
My dad on the other hand is self-proclaimed "heteroflexible" but I don't think he's ever actually kissed another dude but he thinks bros masturbating together is okay and doesnt make them gay so idk. And he's also admitted to dancing with drag queens. He is the son of a bisexual disaster. He's never been outright homophobic besides when he told me he wouldn't go to my wedding if I ever married a woman. But he has since rescinded that statement. Though he also refuses to use my correct pronouns. My dad is also the only straight cis man who I've ever seen use "fag" in the most endearing and affectionate way.
My older brother is a cis straight male. But he is married to a bisexual non-binary who goes by she/they. But he is totally a lesbian fetishist. He very quickly accepted me when I came out.
My younger brother is also a cis straight male. He is an ALLY because when my mom was on her homophobic bullshit he defended me every fucking time wven when I wasnt there. I would die for that kid.
My sister in law isn't blood related but I do group her in when I refer to my siblings because she's been here for half my life. As mentioned above, she is bisexual non-binary who goes by she/they. She is part of the reason I had the courage to came out as pan BUT FUNNILY ENOUGH I encouraged her to come out as non-binary. She claims she knew I was queer since she met me.
LASTLY my paternal grandmother isn't my immediate family and she's been long gone, but she was bisexual! I didn't know this while she was alive. I came out a few months after she passed and I wish I knew. My parents said that she lived with her partner for a long time. Her partner was the woman I thought was her best friend whenever anyone would mention her in a story.
Thanks for letting me talk about my family and queerness.

poltergeist: do you watch television? what's your favourite show?frankenstein: have you ever felt rejected by your peers? do you think you 'fit in' with other people?night of the living dead: if you could, would you bring people back from the dead? who?the omen: how do you feel about children? would you want any of your own?split: is there more than one side to you? do you hide parts of yourself from people?pan's labyrinth: do you have any siblings? are you the favourite?
poltergeist: do you watch television? whatās your favorite show?
I stream tv shows sometimes but I donāt really watch all that much. One Punch Man is probably my current fav since itās lightheartedish and gives me writing inspiration. Miraculous Ladybug is a guilty pleasure though even if it gives me MASSIVE second-hand embarrassment.
frankenstein: have you ever felt rejected by your peers? do you think you āfit inā with other people?
I feel rejected any time I interact with anyone outside my friendgroup who doesnāt have The Same Brain Issues as me tbh. people donāt tend to approach me and apparently people see me as a know-it-all whenever I try to help in a group? so I overshare online to make up for it. I donāt really feel like I fit in with any group setting. in friend groups I always sort of feel out of place because I donāt know how to interact in a group. in one of them Iām the youngest and the newest addition so I always worry that itās an āsorry guys I had to bring my lil brother alongā kinda thing even though I know itās not and that at least one of them likes hanging with me. I never speak in Discord servers with more than 4 people without prompting because I get scared that Iām āthat guyā who doesnāt actually have anything to add. I never got super involved in fandom spaces either so :/. just... donāt feel wanted around often ig. I spend the majority of my time alone.
night of the living dead: if you could, would you bring people back from the dead? who?
if I did, it wouldnāt be anyone I personally know all that well. I think Iād just have to go with no in general because Iād want to bring back people who shouldnāt have died and that would get out of control quickly. thereās a lot :(
the omen: how do you feel about children? would you want any of your own?
children are cool and good and sometimes a blast to hang out with but I donāt think Iād make a good parent. I have a tendency to get overwhelmed, irritable, and to lash out and I wouldnāt want to put a kid through that. I also donāt really want to ever deal with a kid full-time because a lot of kids are so noisy and sound really bothers me. I canāt control my bad days and I wouldnāt want to make a kid deal with that because of how I personally get and how my mom tended to use me to vent.
split: is there more than one side to you? do you hide parts of yourself from people?
I wouldnāt say thereās more than one side, but thereās definitely parts of myself I donāt tend to make public. Iām way more open here and even right now thereās gonna be some things I donāt mention, but thatās mostly for yāallās sake because I donāt think any of us could take a thirst post from me rn lmao. but I donāt tell most people that Iām absolutely fascinated with how emotions can be manipulated and thatās why I like writing so much. I donāt tell people that I love to see people lose their shit from a distance. I donāt tell people that sometimes when Iām alone I refer to myself as āusā and āweā and I donāt tell people how tired I feel all the time. I donāt tell people that my first thoughts when someone does something thatās a minor annoyance to me are āI wish they would fucking dieā. sometimes those things are just things that would likely make me more of an outcast and sometimes itās because those things are impulse thoughts and thereās no reason to bring them up when my second thought is āokay, yikes, calm down budā. itās just. thereās a lot of me I donāt like other people to see because either Iām scared of their reaction or it doesnāt feel like ME me. impulses arenāt me. cringe culture did make me scared of showing a lot of me thatās excitable too. I donāt tend to get up and walk around when things excite me in a public place. I donāt smack my fists against my legs to burn off energy in a public place. I really really want to but. yāknow.
panās labyrinth: do you have any siblings? are you the favorite?
I have one older brother! heās like... 11 years older than me? probably 11 years older than me. we get along well and I like hearing about his coding and whatever game heās playing. Iām... very much certain that I am the favorite. for reasons that are mostly āIām quiet and youngerā and āmy mom has a very skewed view on their relationshipā. my brotherās super cool though and he deserves the world.
#ask#egby says shit#AAA TY ANON!!!!!#I love my brother so much... he's SUPER COOL#he's making a game for one of his classes and I'm really excited to see how that turns out!#he rambles to me and lets me ramble back and it's super cool when he's around

i realized i never actually never share anything about me on this website, like, i never really write about stuff thats happened/is happening in my life or about stuff i like and whatever. and like. im the type whoās great at oversharing (shitposting) lmao but apparently never on tumblr i guess?? its not important but yeah i just realized it. ive had this account since april 2012 i think? never made any friends on here tbh i just exist in the background quietly liking or reblogging stuff, and never do anymore than that. and no one will actually care or read this so MIGHT AS WELL am i right ladies and gents and non-binary friends. so heres some good and shitty stuff thats happened in my life
2017 was a good concert year for me i think (please bear with me ive got bad memory) (thx depression) i finally saw ed sheeran (one of the best concerts ive been to even if the people next to us kept talking throughout the whole concert) then i saw shawn mendes (hes baby) i went and saw little mix all by myself (snatched that barricade too!!) it was incredible and i miss them. i was lucky enough to see niall and harry too on their tours and ill never get over that. oh, and niall retweeted one of my tweets so thats something. (im trying to play it cool bc its been over two years it Should Not make me Feel Like This anymore right) i also went to germany in 2016 on december 31st to celebrate new years with my friend who i met through the internet (thanks internet) and i stayed there for a week (shouldve known itd go all downhill after that)
so, while concert-life was on top, my personal life was at bottom and it would only get worse in 2018.Ā
early 2017 my mom started to feel...sick. her body was hurting all the time. she was in so much pain without knowing why. apparently she had some kind of rare blood disease. it all went so...fast. suddenly she was in and out of hospitals, she got worse, the pain even more worse. some days she could barely walk and all she could do was cry. itās horrible seeing your own mom like that. knowing there was nothing you could do. i did my best though, i moved back home to help her with my siblings becuase their father is a piece of shit who never helped my mom even if she was sick. she was at her lowest and he didnt care and he only made her worse. but i took on the responsibility of taking care of my younger siblings, and mom. as much as i could. while my older sister came home almost every weekend so she could help too. our grandma did her best too. we all tried so much to help mom.Ā
in september my mom called from the hospital. she told me her disease has turned into leukemia. this was the first time i cried with my mom.Ā
she did all kinds of chemo, got isolated at the hospital. wasnāt allowed to go out or sometimes even see her own kids. my sister and i took turns staying with her at the hospital though. i think the longest i stayed with her at the hospital was two weeks straight.Ā
when the results of her last chemo came back the doctor said the cancer hadnt gone down as much as they had hoped. they said my mom could do one last chemo but that was it, if the cancer wasnt gone after that there would be nothing more they could do to help my mom. because her body wouldnt be able to handle anymore. my mom was a fucking fighter, she had no hesitation about it.Ā
she was allowed to come home for christmas and the new years. no one knew it would be our last one with her.Ā
it turned into 2018 and she handled her last chemo pretty well. didnt affect her as much as the others had. she was allowed to come home for the weekend in february. she was so happy to see her kids again. she felt good. but she wasnāt. she really wasnāt. i think that weekend was the worst in my life.Ā
on march 20th, 2018. after a month of being in a coma, she passed away in her sleep. my wonderful mom, who fought to get better for her kids, who had been suffering for a year, finally got to rest. she wasnāt in pain anymore.Ā
seeing your mom taking her last breath really fucks you up in some type of way.Ā
she left six kids behind her.Ā
my mom always supported me going to concerts. sheās a big music fan herself and she knew how much going to concerts meant to me. always got excited when i told her about them, always listened to me. always listened when i played her new songs or albums. two days before her passing i saw harry styles in concert, tickets bought months before. i wasnāt sure i was even going, but i knew mom wouldāve wanted to so i did. i wasnāt at my best during that concert, sat down for most of it but i cannot explain how much seeing harry meant to me. he really helped me feeling better for some hours, made me laugh and smile. iāll always be grateful for that.Ā a month after my moms passing i had tickets for another concert, that was for niall horan. i really didnāt think i would be able to handle it, but i did it for mom. knew she wouldāve wanted me to go. my friend was a great distraction, and we also met some lovely people in the line and i was so grateful. i will always be thankful for niall, even if he made me cry during flicker. he really helped me too, without knowing. saw 5sos too after three years at the end of the year, with my childhood best friend who i hadnāt seen in over a year. concerts really is the best medicine. at least for me.
i felt so lost without my mom, i still feel that way. some days i have a hard time believing sheās actually gone. your mom isnāt supposed to die when yourāre twenty one. sheās supposed to be there next to you while youāre trying to figure out your life.Ā
iām gonna be honest with you, i donāt really remember most of 2018. and i donāt think i actually want to remember either.Ā
2019 has been slightly better so far. saw disney on ice (incredible). in april we finally went to london. something my mom had always wanted too, so i took the necklace i got her years ago and brought it with me to london so at least a piece of her would be there too with us.Ā
on the first day my older sister and i saw shawn (hes still baby). we also went to madame tussauds (finally met one direction yall), went on london eye, walked to the buckingham palace. took a bus to warner bros studio tour of harry potter. that was fucking incredible. drank disgusting butterbeer. london felt like a dream.Ā
-
i still donāt know what to do with my life, i donāt really have any dreams. im currently living with my grandma and she really doesnt want me to move out lmao. and i feel bad for leaving her

ITS 4:30 AM AND I DONT FEEL LIKE SLEEPING so Iām gonna do this meme that i got tagged for twiCE and totally forgot to do til now!!!! (i had 2 dig through your blogs to find them omg)
ANYWAY i was tagged by both @mooitstimdrakeā and @cynessieā (I MISS U BOTH BTWĀ ā¤)
RULES: Share 11 facts about yourself, answer 11 questions provided by the tagger, tag 11 awesome people and leave 11 questions for them to answer!
(Iām gonna skip tagging people/asking 11 questions - 1) because Iām lazy 2) because a lot of people who I would tag either have already been tagged or woNāT DO IT and 3) I have to answer two sets of 11 questions anyway so Iāll let one of those sets take the place of my 11 questions!!)
11 Facts
I was supposed to leave to move into my college 3 days ago but since my college is in Savannah they pushed off move-in/orientation for a weEK BECAUSE OF HURRICANE IRMA AND IāM STILL UPSET/DISAPPOINTED
That being said Iām about to start as a college freshman at art school, planning on majoring in animation! :D
I binged all of Buzzfeed Unsolved in like 2 days and I fuckin LOVE IT
Also BNHA is like my current main obsession???? I fell in love w that anime and uhhhh Iād Die For My Kids
I almost never use skype anymore - Iām always on Discord now (mutuals may add me just message me if you want my tag :3c)
I loooove creating OCs and my main OC is a forest elf named Rally and heās precious and I LOVE HIM AND COULD TALK ABOUT HIM FOR HOURS (also my best friend @/harpxer and I have a huge ongoing rp with him and her mountain elf oc, Kahl!! theyāre really gay)
Hmmm fun fact I guess Iāve been involved with internet communities since I was 10 years old and I made my very first internet friend when I was 10 and weāre still great friends and talk p much every day to this day (hi @/fiishr)
I want a tattoo super bad but idk what Iād geT
I worked at a jewelry engraving stand at an amusement park this summer and one night I accidentally gave myself a 1st degree burn on my finger from the hot glue gun and it hurt So Bad
I had my graduation party this July and it was really fun but the best part was when 14 of us played this giant game of spoons and it got really intense, made worse by people randomly screaming during it, and then we collectively decided to blast hardcore rap music from the speakers and Let Me Tell You i have not been involved in a more stressful card game in my LIFE
Iāll always always always fall for the hero/happy character/protagonist basically....idk what it is about me but Iām so Predictable...I love cute optimistic brave characters who just wanna do Right.....I donāt cARE IF PEOPLE THINK THEYāRE BORING I THINK THEYāRE PERFECT AND AMAZIGN AND I LOVE THEM

ANYWAY ONTO THE QUESTIONS :3c
@mooitstimdrakeāās Questions:

If you could have any kind of animal as a pet, what would you have? A RACCOON!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THEM SOSOSOSOSOS MUCH and some people actually do have them as pets! They can be difficult though but WORTH IT
Who was your favorite teacher and why were they your favorite? OH BOY......Iām gonna say itās a tie between my AP studio art teacher and my AP US government teacher from this past year, my senior year! My AP art teacher because our class was super tiny, 12 kids, and it really felt like a family?? She was a-okay with letting us all goof around and say weird shit, she was really chill and funny and like. part teacher, part friend, which was always nice. As for my AP gov teacher, he was SO. FUCKING. FUNNY. OH MAN. NOT EVEN ON PURPOSE he just like? put up with SO MUCH? we had some real character kids in that class and my teacherās reactions were HILARIOUS. he had a sarcastic streak too so his responses were equally as funny when someone did something weird. He would say the funniest stuff just ask @/harpxer I would tell her so many stories from that class sohboshrb. Aside from the humor that class was really interesting, and heās a really good, invested teacher - he wanted us to learn, heās super passionate about government and history, and he always started off each class with 2 current events which was really nice and helped me learn more about things happening in the world too!!! overall that was like my fav non-art class Iāve ever taken!!!!
Whatās your guilty pleasure (and Iām challenging you not to say some kind of food)? HMMMMM. Honestly Iām gonna go ahead and say really cheesy or lame movies/shows (like, Disney channel movies, dumb shows - like the one summer I watched all of Glee LOL, stuff like that).

I guess MOST recently though I just bought Clip Studio Paint online today (art program) since itās on sale for 50% off and Iāve heard great things about it!
