Novelvember week 3

prompt: yet another incorrect quote, which is at the end of the fic :3

duo or ship: tango/grian with plenty of impulse & grian interaction!

A certain pesky bird goes poking through the local dungeon master's storage unit. After getting caught red handed, he flees to tell a fellow hermit, seeking advice for his rising feelings.

Grian has a gay panic over Tango making out with him and tells Impulse all about it before promptly deciding physical touch is not currently Fun.

breif warning for a sort of anxiety attack at the very end. its not described in much detail, mostly just discomfort with physical touch.

Pacing the length of the entry room in Impulse's base, Grian grumbles a bit and checks his communicator again. The device was silent, cold metal pressing into his palms as he gripped it. Where is he? It's already been ten minutes, and the avian had thought Impulse was nearby.

As he starts typing out another DM, the sound of rockets got close. Grian perks, wings raising as he looks for the source. There, incoming fast on glossy metal dragonfly wings, was the man of the hour.

“Hey! Sorry for taking a while, you know how Zed gets after cuddling,” The daemon calls with a chuckle when he's close enough. Through Impulse's many mentions of it, yes, he did know. There had been a few times he'd seen it himself, too.

Distantly, he recalls years long past where Tango had teased both Zedaph and Impulse for it. An uncomfortable jealousy rises, despite not having any reason to be. Not only was Tango very much not dating the two anymore, but Grian didn't have a connection like that to any of them. So it didn't make much sense to feel this way.

Impulse lands with an oomph next to Grian, furry whip-thin tail stretching out in an instinctive balancing act. It brings the avian back to the now relatively quickly. “How are you?”

Frowning, he stays quiet for a second as the taller man closes his elytra and pushes his flight goggles up. “I think you know that,” Grian replies finally, a whine in his voice.

“Is it that bad?” Impulse asks, furrowing his brows while trying not to look too amused. When the avian just groans and turns away to keep pacing, he rolls his eyes fondly. “Come in, come in. Do you want a drink or something to eat, maybe?”

They go inside, and Grian hops up onto the island counter in the kitchen while the taller man gets out two glasses. Swinging his feet lightly, he sighs again. Heavily.

“Grian… buddy, I can't help you if you don't talk to me. I may give decent advice, but only when I know the situation.” Pouring water for them, the daemon walks over and holds one glass out. “Come on, what'd Tango do?”

The amused look on Impulse’s face only serves to make him more pouty. But after taking a long sip of water, Grian indignantly flaps his ear wings and looks away. “Well, it's confusing! He's confusing! He kissed me!”

Raising a brow, his friend sat in one of the bar stools. “Doesn't he, uh, always do that?” Pointing a finger limply at Grian, he adds, “I thought you two were in a loose QPR or something?”

“Yeah-!” Exasperation laces his exclamation, and his wings poof up. “But this was different!” His cheeks got warm, and he quickly took another gulp of water.

“How so?” Impulse tilted his head, elbow leaned on the counter as he looked up at him.

Flustered, the avian set his glass down and waved his arms about. “Usually it's an agreed on moment! He just went for it!”

This seemed to surprise Impulse, as he sat up straighter. His expression got a bit dark, voice serious. “Wait, went for it? He didn't disrespect your consent, did he?”

Face blanking briefly, he quickly shook his head. “Coders, no! That was- I didn't word it right. I promise it's not like that.” As the daemon relaxed- glad his pseudo brother wasn't causing actual problems- Grian looked away and traced the lip of his cup. “I mean that usually I'm like… Usually I'm there with intentions of garnering affection. But I was just, uh, sort of there this time.”

“Sort of there?” The taller hermit tilts his head. “Oh,” he smiles, “you were stealing from his storage again, weren't you?”

“Borrowing,” Grian sniffs, wings relaxing behind himself. “Those eggs weren't going to-” he realizes he's mumbling and stops, indignantly chirping.

“Eggs?” Impulse grins, all teasing words and smile-narrowed golden eyes.

Swatting at his arm, the avian groans. “Shut- forget I said anything!” He hops down from the counter, frowning deeply, only to be caught around the middle by a laughing man. A little gasp escapes him, but then he turns to glare heatlessly.

“No, I'm sorry,” He pulls him over to his side, words warm, “Tell me what happened. I'll try not to tease more.” Impulse carefully tucks a bit of fluffy hair behind his friend's ear, admittedly making the avian feel much more at ease. It was easier to talk when he wasn't in ‘playful older brother’ mode.

He supposed the habit must be pretty strong, seeing as Impulse had both a little sister- Gem- and a little brother. Albeit, Tango wasn't actually related to him- that'd be really weird considering their past- and was only a month younger, but the point stood.

“I doubt that,” Grian mumbles in response, getting onto the stool next to him anyways. “But fine. Since I'm already here.” That, and they both knew even Zedaph didn't know the two's ex well enough to tell what he was up to. If Grian wanted in-depth advice regarding Tango, Impulse was the only one to ask.

“Sure,” the daemon hummed, arm falling to the side as Grian sat. His smile softens, and he urges him to go on with a brief hand motion.

Thinking about where to start, he stares down at his nearly empty glass. “Well, I just needed a few more bits and bobs for a build. And obviously, Tango has a lot of those.” As he speaks, he moves his hands about animatedly. “So, I figured, ‘ why not skim off the top? ’” His voice is hesitant, and he shrugs casually. Yes, this will do, easing into just what happened.

Impulse offers no response outside a little nod, allowing Grian the space to speak. So naturally, he does. “I've done it plenty, and he doesn't ever care because, you know, it's just little things.” Pausing, he hums and adds nonchalantly, “Even then, he never seems to mind when I take anything.”

It was probably a bigger deal than he'd assumed, as Impulse gave a big grin. Still, he says nothing, so with a nervous little chirp, Grian continues. “Anyways, he's been busy, so I let myself in and went downstairs…”

✮✮✮

Grian had hummed a soft, happy tune as he'd gracefully glided down into the belly of Tango's base. It had been a little hard to navigate with all the redstone, but he'd been down there enough times to narrowly avoid imminent death. At least for today.

The avian landed in the large doorway, and shook out his wings before folding them. He looked around, thinking over what he'd come for. It took a minute, dark brown eyes scanning the signs. Having recalled it, he set out for the chests he'd been sure had the right little things.

Something thudded a few minutes later, the distant sound of metal whistling through the air following it. The avian had frozen up, mid looting of some less than useful chests. As far as his build went, Grian had no use for the things he'd been grabbing.

He'd glanced between the room's entrance and the armful of eggs he'd currently held. Amongst them a few bits of gold shone, and a decently sized chunk of lapis had been tucked against his side. Conflicted between knowing he should get the hell out and his own instinct to take the precious items, he remained kneeled in front of the chest.

As the metallic elytra clinks a few times and makes a soft scratching as it shuts, Grian frowns and slowly scoots towards the bag he'd dropped on the floor for whatever he ‘borrowed’. It was his own bag, at least, empty outside of a few little miscellaneous items. That and the copper he originally came here for.

Carefully unloading his last haul of mostly eggs and shiny bits with a pleased chirp, he wonders why the other man hasn't walked in yet. He had heard him land, right? That wasn't his imagination? Admittedly, it should figure that he'd make it up.

So after another pause to listen, he shrugs and continues, poking into a few other chests. A soft trill leaves him as he finds some red wool, and he gently tucks it around the eggs. Can't possibly blame him for obeying his bird brain.

He does some more back and forths between tucking a myriad of items around the eggs and snagging half slabs of copper. At some point he'd resumed his delightful tune. Then, someone clears their throat. Grian freezes, wings poofing up. As he hears a familiar snort, he scrambles up onto his feet and turns around.

Tango is leaning on the door frame, arms crossed. His metal elytra is folded behind himself, golden yellow magma-filled sections glowing in a way that imitates the man's own fire. “Whatcha up to, G?” The blaze watches him, raising a brow. There was a faint amusement to his tone, but he seemed a bit too tired for this.

“Uh,” looking down at the near full bag, he smiles, “Just helping you clean your storage, of course!” Over his shock and now in his usual mind of mischief, Grian puts his hands on his hips, inclining his head playfully. “There were some weird things in weird places, Tango.”

Seemingly giving him a moment to process what he's said, Tango offers a sharp grin. “Oh really?” He inquires in an unamused tone that says; ‘I don't believe you for a minute’. “The automated storage unit that I built myself is broken?”

The avian falters, glancing around at the room. It didn't feel like banter suddenly. “Y-Yes.” Confirming his shoddy alibi, and therefore sealing in another task for the other, he nods. One of his ear wings moves to cover part of his face, feeling shameful.

“Hm,” Tango hums, pushing off the wall and slowly walking over. He glances down at his bag and snorts again before turning to the open chests. “And which parts would you say are broken? I'm awfully tired, but if you say it's acting up…” The blaze spoke in a quiet sneer, knowing very well that his friend was full of it. But he didn't seem angry per se.

Hesitating, he slowly turned around to look at the chests he'd raided. “Uhm, you see,” Grian trailed off, nibbling at his lower lip. He could feel the taller man stare down at him, and slumps a bit. Stealing ultimately unimportant items was one thing, they all did that regularly. Giving another hermit more work to cover up a lie though, that made his stomach twist. It just wasn't right.

Tango didn't say anything as the avian processed, tail idly flicking back and forth. He didn't speak up when said man leaned down and started to close the chests either. “Nothing is broken,” Grian quietly says, guilty. Hearing Tango cross his arms more than he really saw it in his peripherals, he cringed. “Sorry. If you'd like I can put everything back, I know you've been busy.”

And yet he still swung by. He wasn't at all surprised to have been caught either. Rather, he'd been surprised by the sour turn of events. Tango seemed much more exhausted than one would imagine. Then again, he did build an entire game so… maybe it hadn't been a good idea to come pester him.

“I don't care about the items,” the blaze says after a moment. He grabs the back of Grian's sweater and pulls him back into a stand, making him look up at him. Behind Tango's irritated expression, he could see fatigue in his icy blue eyes. “What I care about is that you lied about it.”

Feeling rather small under his gaze, Grian looks away again. “I was only joking,” he weakly defended. It had in fact been another tease, one he knew he'd see through. Although–

“That doesn't change the fact that you lied after, when I asked about it.” Tango’s voice lilts up towards frustration, arms crossed again. He'd practically spoken the shorter man's thoughts aloud. “Obviously I knew it was a joke, Grian.”

“Then-!” The avian tosses his hands up, cutting off his own shout to groan. “Why are you scolding me, then?”

Furrowing his brows at the weak glare, Tango's soul flame tail swishes in annoyance. “I just told you,” he says firmly, clearly attempting to remain calm. “Can we not do this right now? I have things to do.”

Now agitated as well- despite not having the right to be- Grian rolls his eyes and puffs his wings up to seem bigger. “You started it! Come on, shout back! You're clearly upset!”

The blaze stares, clearly riled if the crackling flame on his tail tip was anything to go by. After processing, he stepped closer, purposely looming over Grian now. “You should stop while you're ahead, birdie.” The nickname was startlingly out of place in the moment, said with such strained warning.

“And why is that,” he prods, feeling a bit childish for how he essentially was throwing a fit. It wasn't clear even to himself what was going on at this point.

“You're in my base,” Tango reminds him, grabbing his chin, “and you've stolen my items. I couldn't think of a better reason.”

This had all turned weirdly intimate, their faces inches apart as they seethed at each other. Deep down he sort of knew it was going to be fine, somehow finding warmth hidden in the other's gaze. Tango's voice had lowered, but not in the dark and angry way. It was almost sultry.

Flustering, the avian taunts, “Oooh, you wanna kiss me so bad!” It's entirely immature. And very out of line, had either been angry enough. But he desperately wanted to soothe the tension, chest tight from even the vague argument. So he did what he did best, make stupid, borderline flirtatious, jokes.

And for a second, Tango stares at him as if he was a fool. Which, he really was, so it fit. But then the blaze's cheeks warm and he seems to have an internal conflict of sorts. “What?” He finally mutters, brows furrowing again.

Grian stares right back at him the whole time, utterly embarrassed but sticking by his own idiocy. “I said, ‘Oooh,’” he speaks slower, and a bit low, “‘you wanna kiss me-’”

He doesn't finish his echoed sentence, being grabbed by the arms and pulled close as Tango all but smashes their lips together. The taller hermit makes a noise akin to a growl, tail lashing. At first he's frozen, bewildered. It wasn't exactly the expected response.

It seems like Tango is about to pull away, seeing as the avian had yet to do more than stare. But then Grian shuts his eyes and tosses his arms around his neck, kissing back. The blaze makes a quiet purring in response, tail moving to wrap around Grian's ankle instead of aggressively thrashing.

The kiss brimmed with burning passion, a shocking thing to occur between the two. This was so unlike their usual soft and gentle affections that Grian could feel his skin buzzing. His wings were spread out behind himself, twitching a bit as Tango nipped at his lower lip. Even his significantly smaller ear wings were raised, doing small flaps now and then. He tilted his head a bit, both to pursue a deeper kiss and to wordlessly try and figure out what the blaze wanted.

Another nip, then a hand grabbing the sides of his jaw and lightly pressing in a silent answer. Tango licks the avian's lips this time, making it even clearer. So with a muffled chirp, he parted his lips, letting him explore his mouth.

Simply holding his arm apparently was not enough. The blaze wrapped one of his own around Grian's waist, pulling him flush against his chest. He moved the other to rather gently pet the spot between his wings. It was a melting bliss. He made a mix of a groan and a trill, hearing a responding pleased grumble.

His own hands moved to grasp at Tango's hair, gentle but firmly there. Thankfully he isn't on his tiptoes, since the taller had been the one to initiate the kiss and had leaned down for it. Otherwise he may have accidentally tugged, what with how his legs felt wobbly. Though with how heated this all was, it may not have been an unwelcome action.

Tango occasionally catches Grian's lip between his teeth, rather pointy canines digging in before he'd let go and pass his tongue over the offended spot. Each and every time he earned a whine, and could hear the shorter hermit’s wings flap.

Then finally they break apart, lung capacity spent. They only leave inches between their faces, panting breaths mixing in a humid puff. Grian's eyes are lidded, staring up at the blaze with a befuddled mix of wonder and confusion. All that he gets in return is a huff and the electric look in Tango's gaze.

Flustered and red in the face, the avian sputters out a few breathless syllables. He wants answers to the many questions in his head, unsure when their energy went from purely frustrated to almost charged. It's a bit hopeless as his mind is reeling, and most of his noises are little trills. The blaze grins at that, like it was a victory on his part.

And then, Tango much more calmly leans down further to kiss his jaw softly. Grian gasps, fingers flexing in the other's hair, then tilts his head to the side as a go ahead. Safe to say this was all unexpected. It wasn't even that they'd never done any of this before. Just that the energy was so different, so much more intense.

Feather light kisses are peppered down his neck until Tango can't pull his turtleneck away any further. So he trails back up, pressing just a little more. Grian's hands are gripping tightly to his cape covered shoulders, thick fabric bunched between his fingers. He gasps as the blaze nips at his jaw, then lightly whacks him in the face with one of his ear wings. Mostly by accident.

“Hey-” Tango grunts, frowning a little as he pulls away enough to meet his gaze.

Taking a moment to regain coherent speech, Grian looks to the side. “Hey yourself,” he mumbles, a complaint in his voice.

“Too far?” The blaze asks, softening. He glances between Grian's blown pupils, smile a bit too smug.

He slowly nods, cheeks still hot. Then he looks at Tango again, taking in his red lips and heavy stare. “A bit. I'm not even sure where that came from.”

“Oh,” Blinking, he seems to think back, then snorts. “Probably from you saying I wanted to kiss you. Because I did.”

Wings puffing up in embarrassment, Grian makes a shrill noise, glaring heatlessly. “It wasn't an invitation.”

“You sure don't seem to regret it though. Can't say I do either, you look pretty all red lipped.” The blaze easily replies, smirking and leaning a bit closer.

Grian surges forward to hide his face against the taller man’s shoulder, grumbling as his face flushes all over again. He doesn't reply, hiding away as he ignores the festering pool of emotions in his chest. And the other doesn't seem to mind, rubbing his shoulder idly.

The moment is disturbed by Tango's communicator pinging, making the blaze pull it out from his robes. Grian pulls back slightly, then folds his wings carefully so he can turn in the man's arms and look at the device with him. He'll happily latch to a distraction.

It's a message from Zedaph, having another trophy challenge for him to participate in. Grumbling a bit, Tango starts to type a decline, but the small avian catches his wrist.

“Go, I have things to do too.” He leans his head on his friend's arm, looking up at him with a small smile. “And I know you want to, underneath your foggy instincts.”

The funny thing is, Grian was easier to fluster and get entranced, but also returned to normal faster. This wasn't the case for Tango, who lingered in his emotions longer. Admittedly, this was mostly because the avian tended to ignore said emotions, but still.

Frowning, he stares at him before realizing he's right. So he deletes the draft and instead confirms he'll come. “Only because you're busy.”

“Liar,” The avian teases, narrowing his eyes. But then as Tango blushes, he looks away and sighs. He may want to ignore how he feels about a lot of this, but the guilt was returning. And that he didn't want to leave untended. “Hey uh, I'm sorry for lying. And generally for getting annoying about it after.”

Tango doesn't reply at first, putting his communicator back into some hidden pocket. But then he gently pulls Grian off of himself, turning him around to look at him properly. He's got two fingers under his chin, tilting his head up to meet his smiling face.

“It's fine, I already forgave you. I know you didn't mean anything by it.” Then, the blaze leans down and presses a chaste kiss to his lips. This is what their intimate interactions were usually like, soft and comforting. And yet this simple kiss serves to fluster Grian beyond belief.

“O-Oh!” He had chirped when his friend pulled away. “Great! Then, uh, have fun! Bye!” The avain promptly fled, just barely remembering to grab his bag on the way out.

✮✮✮

“And then I messaged you,” Grian finished, hands falling into his lap. He had tried to explain in as little detail as possible while still properly retelling the event, yet still felt a bit winded.

Taking a second to really soak in just what he's been told, the daemon takes in a breath. He smiles, sounding a bit surprised, “That's a lot to unpack, isn't it?”

“Yeah! It is! If you somehow missed that part, we all but made out!” He had left out the intimate details, of course. But it was hard to not mention how Tango had certainly wanted to continue. Grian's cheeks got warm just thinking back on it.

Now seeing just what was going on in the avian's brain, Impulse grins widely. “We? So you kissed back?” Grian flushes, silent aside from a nod. “Did you enjoy it?”

“What kind of question-?!” He squawks, eyes widening as he whips his head to the side. Getting only a smug look, he wrings his hands. “I mean, yeah? I wouldn't kiss him near regularly if he wasn't good at it.”

The daemon snickers, shaking his head. “That's not entirely what I meant.” Seeing as Grian still didn't get it, he sighs and takes a small sip of his water, finishing it off. “G, when you two usually kiss, does it feel the same as today?”

He thinks about it, brows furrowed in confusion. “Um, I mean, no. But we haven't ever made out. Not fully, anyways. Our relationship is…” Grian trails off, waving a hand idly as if beckoning his thoughts forth. “I don't know, softer? This was more aggressive.”

“Well you did bicker seconds before,” Impulse points out, leaning on the island counter. “So then, was it a good different?”

“Um,” The avian squints at him, as if expecting the taller man to have an ulterior motive. That one he had to properly consider. He'd been so caught up in the why that he hadn't even considered how he felt about it.

Tango had held him so close, grip firm yet somehow still gentle. And there had been a fierce passion that sparked between them for the first time. Sure, there was always affection and genuine love in their usual exchanges, but… that was always platonic.

It hit him at about the same time Impulse waved a hand in front of his face. Blinking rapidly, he looks up at his grin and flushes a bright red. “I suppose it was,” he finally answers.

“Looks like you have it figured out now,” Impulse murmurs, a spark of pride in his eyes. “Knew you'd get there eventually!”

“Yeah,” the avian breathes. It's been a very long time since he's fallen for someone. It all feels so bizarrely foreign, complicated and messy. It's a bitHe doesn't have the time to fully let it sink in, wings puffed up in embarrassment. “Thanks, Impulse.”

“Anytime, bud,” he easily replies, patting his shoulder. “I'm more than happy to help out, you know that.”

They have tea, easing into unrelated topics. Grian keeps zoning out as his friend rattles off The Soup Groups latest goof. He doesn't mean to, genuinely interested in what Impulse has to say, but he's a bit weary after all the emotional processing he's done today.

There's a lot of questions in his head. Namely, does he feel the same? A dreadful sort of itching crawls up his spine at the idea of it. It takes hold just under his wings, making him drag his clawed fingers over the spot over and over.

When he'd confessed to Doc a while back it wasn't anything like this. The creeper hybrid had gently turned him down, and that was that. They just returned to being purely platonic friends. And they still are. So why was Tango so different? Was he really so attached to the blaze already?

“G?” The daemon taps his arm gently, thin tail folded over on his lap. He's smiling softly, a concerned twist in the corners. His brows furrow as Grian jolts, warm hand remaining on his arm. It feels like it's burning.

Taking a breath, Grian looks up from his empty tea cup, meeting the other's gaze. “I'm okay, don't worry.” Then the combination of burning and itching is too much and he pulls his arm away.

The avian looks out the window behind Impulse. “Sorry. I should get going,” he shakes out his wings a little, then hops down from the stool, out of the other's reach.

“Oh, well alright.” Standing as well, Impulse refrains from stepping back into his space. He's not totally sure what's wrong, but it isn't the first time Grian's gotten like this. He trusts him to self regulate, and he doesn't seem to be doing horribly.

“Thanks again for the advice,” He smiles, tone warm and genuine despite the unsteady shake in it. “See you.”

“No problem,” The daemon replies, idly itching at the base of one of his short horns. He frowns slightly as it makes Grian shiver. But before he can say anything else the shorter hermit is leaving the room, footsteps gaining speed as they become fainter.

Maybe he should have Mumbo check in with the avian. Scar would be too quick to try to hug him, and Tango is… well he's out of the question for now.

Nodding slightly to himself as he distantly hears Grian take off, he picks up his communicator and sends a quick message to the lanky redstoner. Then he gets to cleaning up the kitchen, brows pinched.

heres the quote of the week! I laughed so hard when i found it, I couldn't just not use it

a few things as well, incase i didnt make it obvious in the fic! tango used to be in a triad with impulse and zedaph a while back... things happened and now hes purely just friends with them! impulse became like an older brother to him, and zedaph got back with impulse ^^

and this is (clearly) set before scar, tango, and grian got together LOLL

more is to come on all of this, im very normal about it! (lies) and i have a lot of ideas for their relationships and everything :D

anygay, thanks for reading!! have a great week!! I'll be back on Sunday!! <3

I'm just adding my voice to the growing choir but yeah, I don't think Trent is going to out Collin:

It would be an extreme moment of regression. I mean, this guy gave up decades of high-profile journalism due to his distaste for how the job was making him compromise his ethics. He's not gonna just turn around and out a player after that.

(Headcanon-y side-note, but Trent is HEAVILY queer coded and based on my personal readings of his character he's someone who would not just respect Collin, but understand him.)

I've been noticing that each episode has a small "Don't print that" moment where Trent seems legitimately open to keeping the club's personal secrets. The ones that, frankly, have no bearing on football and thus the public has no right to them (changing manicurists, diarrhea, etc.) None of these scenes have implied that he's merely humoring his worried friends and planning to air all the dirty laundry when they're least expecting it. A player kissing another man in an alley on their night off absolutely counts as 'Personal and none of the book's business.'

Outside of the book, how would Trent publish this? He doesn't seem to be doing freelance. It's possible he could pass the tip off to someone else, but we haven't seen any journalist buddies he's friendly with and giving that to a stranger (from the audience's perspective) would feel like even more of a betrayal. You're not just outing him, but using someone who we can't trust to spin the story in an empathetic light, as Trent did with Ted's panic attacks?

Trent doesn't snap a photo of them, despite having the time to get one (they're oblivious). He doesn't write anything in his notebook. He doesn't interrupt and hound them for a quote like he might have in season 1-2. He just walks off, looking contemplative/a bit worried.

So I don't think Trent is going to out Collin, but I do think he might try and do something about it. Meaning, this episode has shown that Collin is, well... pretty bad at keeping his sexuality a secret. He's sneaking out of his boyfriend's house, trying not to draw attention to himself, but then he hits a whole bunch of trash cans while leaving. I got a huge spike of anxiety when he looked at his phone with the other guys standing right there, given that a selfie, kissy emoji, and "thirst" are all pretty damning texts. He's obviously kissing right next to the main road, just a street or so down from where half the club is eating dinner, in a remarkably lit area. And though he tries to deflect a lot - fine he's gay for Zava too, this is my wingman, story about trying to seduce women - it comes across as trying too hard to anyone who's paying attention. Because, you know, Collin is trying very hard, despite his missteps.

The point is that Collin is constantly on the cusp of being outed. If the story doesn't have that happen next episode (that would put a damper on Richmond's win streak) I think Trent is going to step in somehow in an effort to provide damage control - or at least try to, even if he winds up being too late. The use of "Everybody Knows," while obviously a pertinent title, is also a list of how all these awful things have already come to pass - "That's how it goes" - and contains such gems as,

"Everybody knows you've been discreet But there were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes Everybody knows"

(The context here is cheating, but for a background snippet of a song I think the general vibe of bad things + lovers + not being discreet wins out.)

So Trent may try to step in, even if it comes to naught. After all, if he spotted them it's only a matter of time until someone else does too. Collin is lucky it was Trent who saw them and not someone else.

Cue the emphasis on how much he's changed as a journalist (Collin wouldn't have been lucky a year ago), viewers get a cool new relationship between characters who haven't interacted yet, as well as the canonizing of Trent as a queer man without giving him a coming out story because frankly a 50ish character doesn't (necessarily) need that. He's already got the "vibe" 🌈😎

#Ted Lasso #Ted Lasso spoilers #Trent Crimm #long post #for the record I have complete faith in this show not to fuck this up #WITH THE CAVEAT #that the Sam/Rebecca situation has always made me go '?????'#like that's the one time Ted Lasso has induced a 'Hey wtf' response #and I remain hopeful that it was a one time thing

just right [goldilocks general headcanons] 🐻🍯

(art cred to Zac Retz)

cw; some angst but that's about it :^

author's note; Sorry this took so long! 🙇‍♀️ ty to those who waited

General

From what can be seen in the movie, I definitely perceive Goldi as someone who doesn't have much sense of belonging as an orphan and in a family of literal bears and actively searching for a connection with someone she can highly relate with. She's seemed to yearn for normalcy for years and part of me thinks a small part of her is insecure, comparing her life to the stories of what "just right" or "happily ever after" seems to be.

As the perfectionist I interpret her as, it would be reasonable for her to reach out to these conventional standards for families as the right way to do things– in the process ignoring what she had right in front of her. Despite the amount of conventional social norms in fantasy she breaks just being herself, I assumed she clinged onto the family ideal as a way of coping as an orphaned child.

Dreaming of the perfect family, and this feeling of everything being just right all the time…when in reality families aren't truly like at all. I think that's what she learned in the film's ending. But anyways enough analysis of Goldi and her behaviors– onto the headcanons!

- She refuses to let anyone touch her hair but herself and sometimes Mama Bear due to trust issues.

- Continuing on the topic of hair, with the amount of curls on her head it knots up easily. Every night she has to brush out curls that are tangled together.

- She styles her hair primarily out of convenience because her hair gets too wild when it's down and makes it hard to see or do things (part of me thinks her current hairdo is a product of her having too much hair to put into two buns and improvising)

- Very acrobatic as can be seen in the scene of her climbing on the bears

- Many kids were scared of Goldi when she was younger because she tended to get into fights and played rough (always been a biter)

- Goldi just seems like a picky eater to me, very particular about what she eats

- With her need for things to be "just right", Goldi is a definite perfectionist when it comes to many things as I've mentioned above in my analysis

- She has a habit of not asking for help when it's needed (Probably due to her having to become pretty independent from a young age)

- I believe she already had a bit of a criminal record and was a street urchin before meeting the bears, so I bet she's a pro at pickpocketing by now

- Smells like grass and honey with a hint of bear, which is surprisingly comforting

- Has a habit of correcting people when they speak about her interests (totally not projecting )

- Likes messiness but in an organized way if that makes sense-

- A very stubborn person!!!!

- Goldi loves fantasy stories, has a stash of them in her room (her taste changed a bit as she got older though so while I believe she's still a sucker for fairytales, she also likes a good novel on pirate adventures at the moment)

- When playing games she can be both a sore loser and winner 💀

- Let's be honest, Goldi is competitive...to a really high degree. She can make anything into a competition-

- Concerningly good hearing, the type of person who'll hear you whisper something across the room

- Secretly pretty good at drawing, but Goldi never talks about it because she never thinks her drawings are good enough to her ridiculous standards

- idk why but I feel like she'd really like sea shanties and idk why (pirate obsessed goldi???)

- Really protective of the bears, especially Baby– just those older sister instincts ifykyk

- Why do I feel like she'd just be a big fan of apple flavored stuff-

- I get sapphic vibes from her idc what anyone says! (I'm writing gn reader for her but still >:D)

- Along with that I feel like if Goldi truly found someone she thought of as cool she'd try to play it cool but stumble over her words the second they compliment her (gay panic for the winnn)

- Seems like the type to unknowingly ramble about stuff she's passionate about (those people>>>>>)

- Tries her best to hide vulnerability as she's someone who sorta views vulnerability as weakness when it comes to herself

- From their interactions, it's safe to say Goldi's closest to Mama Bear

- Part of me thinks Goldi tried for years to imitate the bears when she was younger, trying to be one of them so they could be somewhat of a "real family"' (But when it wasn't working out the way she hoped, Goldi just began wishing for a human family– maybe even her biological parents)

- Very well read, and knows alot of fun facts despite keeping it to herself

- She's really good at climbing trees and hunting, looking at where the bears live it's safe to assume they live off the land around them

- Never has her hair down around other people (it's embarrassing in her as bc it's so messy)

- A horrible singer but knows it, and loves to sing because of how much it annoys others around her (finds it funny)

- That walking stick she has, I think it may have been a gift from Papa Bear (he just has the vibe of someone who widdles/carves things idk why)

- Goldi definitely tried archery before (kinda gives me Merida from Brave vibes so...yeah)

- Stronger than she looks, I don't care what you say Goldi has some muscle to her

- Forgets her own strength occasionally and accidentally broke a few things because of it

- I feel like she makes her own clothes, they just seem handmade

- Very random, but Goldi does parkour, urban climbing, or both

- Goldi's favorite color is definitely always changing around, one day it's orange and then another day it's purple– just seems like the type of gal to appreciate vibrant colors

- Definitely has loads of random shiny trinkets she's stolen in a box

- As an older sister, I definitely know that Goldi and the family are the only ones allowed to insult Baby, as that's how they show love- if anyone else did it they're asking for a fight

- She's not touchy in a conventional way, instead opting to playful wrestling and things of the such to show physical affection at first (lowkey a softie for hugs in secret tho)

- Not the best at opening herself up, Goldi always seems to be a bit guarded so it definitely takes her quite a while to warm up to people

- Winter is her least favorite season because that's hibernation time, aka the time where she feels the most alone

- Because despite how much of a front she puts up sometimes, she loves her family with her entire heart and is highly affected by the sudden quietness that fills their home

made by @f3r4lfr0gg3r with the help of @saplingofspunk, go follow her for togachako content! Thanks you bestie for helping me with this <3

NINJAGO HEADCANONS FROM THE REAL KAI NINJAGO

Picrew by naylissah :)

Please refer to my age headcanon post for reference

(Warning for brief mentions of s/h, suicidal ideation, eating disorders, canon typical violence, and gender dysphoria)

A character named Day will be mentioned sometimes, that’s my s/i— he’ll be in the next post :]

Cole (he/him, gay)

(The picrews depict him as a human and as a ghost— I would have made early seasons vs late seasons, but I headcanon that he used to straighten his hair instead of actually taking care of it, and there weren’t many straight hair options lol— anyway)

6’1”

Afrolatino

Has anxiety, OCD, depression, manageable aquaphobia (leftover from being a ghost), and PTSD

he has had a crush on Day since like early season one, but they didn’t start dating until after season five

Smoked cigarettes as a younger teen until Sensei made him quit when he started training— only Jay knows this

His best friends are Jay, Nya, and Day

Still feels kind of awkward with Zane, cause Zane and Day were dating for a few years

Has a tattoo of rocky on his back

Never really liked Sensei Garmadon, but still respects him

His hobbies include cooking, listening to music, dancing, drawing, and calligraphy

He actually becomes really good at cooking over time, he just sucked in like season one because he was still learning

Attended fancy private schools before running away

His favorite genres of music are classic rock and classical (like piano and shit)

Contrary to what some may think, he’s not actually naturally gifted at dancing. He still dances for fun, but was never exceptionally good at it

His OCD manifests through checking behaviors, like making sure all the doors and windows are locked

Used to s/h a lot but fell out of the habit when he became a ghost and has been clean for a while since then

Jay Walker (she/he/they, transfem sapphic bigender)

(The picrews depict them in early seasons, like s1-3 and then later on, once she’s further along in her transition)

5’7”

Mixed white/japanese

Has anxiety, bpd, autism, and severe PTSD from the abuse they suffered on misfortune’s keep

Bleaches her hair, it’s naturally brown

Stims by playing with her hair— during prolonged periods of stress (like during any of the show seasons where they’re fighting bad guys for a few months) they get bald patches from tearing out their hair

Also stims by chewing and humming

Was homeschooled

Her special interests are Starfarer, space, robots/technology, and dinosaurs

Gets around four hours of sleep on average, spends a lot of time reading or playing video games at night

It took a really, really long time for her to learn to cope with everything that happened in season six. For a few months she couldn’t even train with the others because seeing someone raise a hand against her, even to spar, would trigger a panic attack

Infodumps a lot and never really feels shy about this because they grew up with the most supportive parents ever <3

Realized she was not cis all the way in season one, but didn’t bother to figure it out until they had some time away from the team in between seasons three and four

Started casually dating Nya in season one, fell really deeply in love, was heartbroken when Nya broke up w them for being too attached, was still in love with her all the way until several years later, when Nya fell back in love with her and they rekindled their relationship several years after season six. Nya was willing to try dating again because over the years Jay had matured and become more emotionally independent

Gets lichtenberg scars from using her lightning powers

Eyes glow when powered up

Over time she becomes really self conscious about her body, and no longer feels comfortable wearing anything that reveals their scars out in public— doesn’t mind changing clothes along with the rest of the ninja, though

The scar over her right eye is from something completely unrelated to ninja business, however— it’s a burn from an explosion when Jay was building an invention prior to meeting Wu

Her best friends are Cole, Day, and Nya

Kai Jiang (he/him, bisexual trans male)

(Picrew depicts him in like season one vs the end)

5’4”

Mixed Latino/chinese

Has autism, depression, extreme aquaphobia, has recovered from an eating disorder, and PTSD

Nya is the only person who knows his deadname

Used to be extremely underweight because they had the type of body where, if thin enough for the fat to come off his breasts, his chests almost looked flat

He has since been able to go on testosterone and had top surgery, and is more comfortable gaining weight

The habit to always just say he’s not hungry was also influenced by him and Nya not having enough to eat as kids, so he’d always let her have as much of his food as he could get away with

After years of living with Wu (who is old and rich) he’s also grown slightly more used to having things and being able to eat as much as he needs

Doesn’t s/h on purpose, but subconsciously picks and tears at his skin, so he’s always covered in bandaids. He also acts recklessly in battle when he’s feeling suicidal

Always gets his hair cut by Nya— in fact, most of the ninja do

His joints are all weird from breaking them and not going to the doctor about it

Dropped out of school when his parents disappeared so he could focus on running the blacksmith shop— he wanted Nya to be able to stay in school, but that only lasted until around jr high, at which point they couldn’t afford tuition

He stims by hitting himself and doing repetitive motions (like clapping his hands or bouncing his leg)

He’s really insecure about his appearance because he thinks he doesn’t look as masculine as the rest of the team

Has a stuffed animal as his comfort item. He gave it to Lloyd as sort of an olive branch when they first started living with the team, but has since gotten it back

Had a crush on Skylor— they dated for a while, but broke up cause they realized they’d be better as friends lol

His best friends are Jay, Zane, and Day

Zane Julian (ai/him, queer, nonbinary)

(Picrew shows Zane’s “human” appearance and after ai was rebuilt)

5’11”, 6’5” (rebuilt)

Dr. Julian modeled Zane after himself, so both of them are black and albino

(However, Zane has purple eyes because that was Dr. Julian’s favorite color)

Zane’s magical power source gives ai a more human consciousness, meaning ais capable of having depression and PTSD despite being a droid

Only uses “he/him” for convenience because ai presents masculinely— ai feels indifferent to the standard pronoun sets, but uses “ai/ai/ais” pronouns with close friends because it gives ai euphoria

(Ai/ai as in artificial intelligence)

Would definitely be dead if ai didn’t have Pixal to calm ai down during ais depressive episodes

Zane is the calmest and most levelheaded of the group; ai isn’t shaken by much— the one thing that truly scares ai is the fact that ais friends are mortal, and ai is not

Only ever talks to Pixal about being depressed. Pixal understands ais fears best because Pixal is also an immortal robot

Ai was dating Day from season one until the beginning of season three, when ai broke up with him because ai realized ai didn’t really love him that much.

Zane then pursued a queerplatonic relationship with Pixal, who ai felt a strong emotional connection to

Ai was rebuilt a lot bigger and stronger than before because the people on Chen’s island who repaired ai made ai to be the ideal fighting droid, and when ai had been built the first time ais only purpose was to enjoy life, not fight

The scar on ais face in the first image is from when the great devourer tried to stab(?) ai with it’s pointy tail, but just barely got a piece of ai’s face. Part of it fell off, but Jay welded it back on

Ais best friends are Pixal and Kai

Knows literally everything (is a robot) but ais weird power source can cause them to experience some human flaws, like forgetfulness

Nya Jiang (she/her, bisexual and demiromantic with a female preference)

(Picrews show season 1 vs the end)

5’5”

Mixed latina/Chinese

Has OCD, PTSD, anxiety, and bipolar disorder

Younger than Kai by one year (they’re siblings fyi)

Doesn’t remember her parents very well

Feels responsible for making everyone in the group feel happy and safe

She gets recurring nightmares and experiences insomnia during stressful times in her life

Picks at her skin when anxious and has some scars on her face— she used to feel self conscious about them, but doesn’t really care anymore

Her best friends are Day and Zane

Used to straighten her hair

Ends up having the most tattoos and piercings out of the whole team

Is very competitive

When she and Jay were first dating, she didn’t view it as anything more than really casual kinda stuff because she saw them as more of a friend back then

Has always put a lot of pressure on herself to not be a burden ever since her and Kai’s parents disappeared

She has a really hard time asking for help because of this

She is closer with Sensei than the rest of the team, and views him as kind of a father figure

Secretly liked being samurai x more than the water ninja

Has an undercut now

Is really good friends with Pixal and Skylor

Okay that’s all for these characters— in my next headcanon post I’ll talk about my s/i, Morro, Pixal, Skylor, Ronin, Lloyd, and maybe some others!

ACTUALLY talking about ocs and not just oc making!

ok so since i do like making complicated characters, i also like making them have a lot of trauma so im gonna add the read more just in case

first off, lets start with one of my longest lasting characters, whos personality has been tweaked so many times and i like to include them a lot in the stories in my head: Allyson Grayskull, or Allie to any who'd meet her right now. She's a cis pansexual with a masc preference woman who uses she/her and can tolerate it/itself or they/them (it bothers her a bit more though). She would be 19-20 right now, but 2 years ago she was killed in the woods. Her "friend" who was definitely unhinged decided to throw a party at her house as a way to make it up to her when she ghosted her for telling her crush she liked him (who proceeded to embarrass her infront of the whole school) and rumors about sleeping with him spread somehow by the kid. She honestly didn't have much a plan going in, just get rid of her now. Allie did bring a friend to the party, a girl named Lily (who I'll probably talk on later) who ended up getting kicked out after being told the plan to murder Allyson. When Allyson was told of something fun in the woods, she went in confused on where Leah was. Then realizing her friend hates the woods by her house and wouldn't even go to far in, she started to panic and run, assuming the worst which turned out to be true. She ran for about 30 minutes, until a knife was thrown staright (man im too gay to spell straight right /j) into her back as she tried to hide and catch her breath. Her friend tried to get over, but the search for her took too long and she was found with the knife still in her chest, having lost a lot of blood. Due to now hearing 2 screams, people went to go check on the outside, to where they found Lily frantically telling everyone Leah just murdered Allie. While police investigations found out easily it was Leah, she seemed to have vanished. Allie came back a ghost, grieving silently at the pain her friend felt and how her death wouldn't be avenged, wishing she had done things differently. That is, until a couple months ago, when Allyson had decided to take karma into her own hands by daring to push herself beyond the grave:she possessed her own dead body to find and torment Leah. I love using her because she's such a personality jumping around character and is so human yet not human feeling! She's a pure example of reacting differently even in the same situation, with a second chance to have her fun while also being chaotic how she likes. Honestly, I could sit here forever talking about her. Since I will be drawing her like tomorrow I won't be describing her appearance yet!

i was planning on talking about more characters but i think itd make this shit too long for my liking

Anakin Assists the Jedi Council While On Medical Leave

AU brainstormed primarily by @atagotiak, @gelpenss, and myself.

Basically, a fix-it based in Anakin getting a peek into the daily life on the Council early, and accidentally Figuring Some Shit Out along the way, mostly because Palps Fucks Up.

So, Anakin gets injured in a way that limits him to Coruscant for a few weeks. He can still walk and talk, but he can't fight. The specific injury doesn't matter, just this:

Anakin runs errands on behalf of the council and sits in on meetings to take minutes as a "you're on medical leave but we need all hands on deck, congrats you get to be the secretary until we can send you on stabbing missions again" thing.

Also, there just aren't a whole lot of people with Anakin's clearance level. They had to send out Stass Allie to handle the mission that was originally next on Anakin's roster, and Anakin's the most convenient person to substitute into her position.

He's not super happy about this but he can more or less understand the point of it. Given that he gets antsy about needing to fight almost immediately, he can acknowledge the worth of having something useful to do, if only as the person who's writing down who says what and making sure everyone has the right file on hand.

(Besides, Obi-Wan jokes in a way that Anakin thinks might be encouraging, this is good practice if Anakin ever wants to be on the High Council himself!)

(This is a very helpful conversation.)

BASICALLY, Anakin is resigned to this but agrees because "Usually we have Master Allie handle this but we need her running that mission that was originally set for the 501st, so you get to fill in for her until you can switch back. Think of it as training for eventual mastery or admin or--listen, we're just really stretched thin."

Here's the key thing, though: Anakin isn't supposed to leave the Temple, for medical reasons, so Palpatine doesn't know Anakin is sitting in on Council meetings. They haven't met up since Anakin's last surgery, and because [muffled hand-wave reason] he didn't find out another way, like Anakin comming him or the Council giving him the heads-up about the change in attendance.

It's fine. He's just taking notes and doing preparatory research, he has the clearance, the Chancellor likes him anyway. Hell, they'd have had someone's Padawan doing this, before the war increased the necessary clearance levels. They'll toss in a quick message in the brief they send to Palps that he never reads anyway, and that's really all they need to do. Skywalker's getting some rounded experience and this way the medics won't be freaking out about him stressing his heart after getting electrocuted by trying to spar too early.

Palpatine doesn't talk directly to the Council, he just sends a recording the first time Anakin is there. It's a bit weird, but nothing goes wrong. Anakin's off-screen from whatever device they use to send a response, since he's not technically a member, just assisting for a bit on the part of Master Allie's duties that he's actually allowed to touch (and not the bits that are getting added to Mace, Plo, and Shaak's stuff).

The first four or so meetings are like that. Anakin starts having a bit of sympathy for the Council as he sees how many things they want to do that are hampered by the need for Senatorial approval, things that he would also want to do and didn't think required this much red tape.

About a week in, still mostly recordings with Anakin just sitting on the side playing paralegal, the wheel of fortune turns a few pegs.

Palpatine hands over a an order on the range of injury that a soldier should be treated for, "to ensure that republic resources aren't being wasted on clones that, while expensive, would actually be cheaper to replace than repair."

Oh, he dresses it up in prettier language than that. Anakin doesn't process it as such first.

The Chancellor manages to couch his phrasing in "prioritizing resources for taxpaying republic citizens and employees of the GAR," which... well.

The natborn commissioned officers pay taxes. The Jedi are employees. The clones are neither, because they're slaves.

Probably he frames it as the employees thing, very much the kinda language that sounds halfway ok unless you��re fluent in political bullshit.

And Anakin is really confused at first about why the council is upset by the order because, okay, he would PREFER to be able to use medical supplies on refugees when possible, but he understands prioritizing the soldiers?

He just looks up, totally lost, when someone groans and goes, "That's the third time this year, is he trying to get us all killed?"

And it vibes as such a genuine, aggrieved, sad reaction that Anakin is completely blindsided because it's not the sarcastic, petty resentment he kind of expected? It's just... desperate depression.

And someone gently has to explain that this is the third time they've had resources restricted to only GAR employees and that it's a polite way of saying "prioritize natborn officers, stop wasting resources on clones, we can replace them easier."

Or maybe he doesn't ask, because he's just there to take notes, not argue, and he can see the masters drawing up a response that amounts to "We would like to remind you that our soldiers do not fall into that classification, and to limit their access to our medical supplies is liable to cause a loss of life that we find unreasonably high. Please see the annotations attached to adjust wording so that the clones may receive the same level of care."

Anakin's internally just like "Yeah, that's phrased nice and addresses the main problem, Palpatine will obviously agree and change it!"

And then he comes in the next day and the response comes in and it's just dripping condescension about considering the clones actual people.

"This is why we can't use the bacta tanks on clones anymore, just the patches. We could use them at first, we had a few of the CCs get through fatal injuries with them, but they cut that off and said we could only use the tanks on Jedi and non-clone officers a few months ago. The Banking Clans keep tightening their belts on the army, and the Chancellor insists we put citizens first, and the clones aren't citizens. We've been arguing back as much as we can, but he keeps going on about the economy and we can't... we just can't, Skywalker. We're trying to save as many of our men as we can, but..."

Something like "Allocation of resources reiterated, the Kaminoans have assured the senate that the Jedi are far from exhausting the resources ordered."

And Anakin's like. He can't blame the council for lying about Palpatine's past or future actions. He just saw Palpatine's actions. Those actions were to order people under his control to throw away lives he saw as replaceable commodities.

These are his friends' lives.

His soldiers are being thrown away by a man in a tower that he trusted.

And then that man has the gall to suggest it's the council's fault.

Palpatine is good at what he does, especially in public, he dresses it up in flowery language and everything, but Anakin's just like "Those are my FRIENDS and also this is??? How slavers talked about their property on Tatooine???? FRIENDPATINE, WHAT THE FUCK."

Anakin can be passive aggressive sometimes as well as outright aggressive. So if he brings up the guidelines and why they make him upset in general terms, and Palpatine says something about how he’s sad the council doesn’t care about the clones...

Anakin, internally, having just watched the council scramble to save as many clones as possible within the guidelines that Palps handed down: Uh-huh.

(Anakin is just the gay horror teeth gif from queer eye.)

Just. “Yeah, funny you say that, Palpatine! Because as I remember, you told the council not to waste more resources than necessary while Mace Windu was arguing to expand the treatment range!”

Palps doesn't even have time to salvage the situation or attack Anakin because Anakin just bulldoze rants for fifteen minutes and then storms out.

Anakin... maybe does a little treason and gets a copy of the orders so he can ask Padme "Hey, can you explain the politics of this?" and doesn't tell her who wrote it so she isn't biased (he tells her that this is why he's not sharing the author's/speaker's name), and just lets Padme pick apart all the 'this is a nice way of saying they don't view the clones as people' details.

Alternately, someone on the Council sees Anakin dithering and manages to get him to admit that he's not great at political language and wants to ask someone to help him understand the full implications. The person--Mace? let's go with Mace--is aware that Anakin is on good terms with Senator Amidala, if not necessarily aware of the depth of said relationship. Mace points out that he's probably going to be seeing her soon just because he usually does and, as a Senator, she can get easy access to these sessions since they're not about specific missions, just allocation of resources, etc. It's not an optimal solution, but she's got a bit more free time than anyone else Anakin knows with the clearance levels, like Order members that are actively involved in the war effort.

Anakin dithers and panics and Mace, trying to be helpful, tells him that plenty of Jedi have made friends among the Senate over the years, didn't you know Qui-Gon Jinn was a personal friend of Former Chancellor Valorum?

At any rate, Anakin goes to Padme and asks her to explain it to him, because she knows how to phrase things so he gets it.

Anakin has to have her pause and he goes outside and destroys some things halfway through.

(Anakin maybe thinks back to the times Padmé or Obi-Wan were really obviously frustrated and when he asked, they said stuff like “I can’t stand Palpatine rn, sorry Anakin I know he’s important to you and you don’t want to talk about politics, let’s just talk about something else.”)

(Obi-Wan: I don’t trust Palpatine Anakin: you just don’t like politicians in general Obi-Wan: yes that is also true)

(Obi-Wan does like Bail and Padme but he does also talk a bit about how politicians generally aren’t to be trusted.)

for the requests: 24 but like,, the opposite?? do whatever you want but also have this embarrassing story of mine for free because i have LIVED this and it is HORRIBLE!! I don’t know what was going through my mind but it was my friends bday and she went to give me a fist bump but instead of returning it I just grabbed her fist with my hand (scissors beats rock style) and we both stood there in silence for a moment staring at our hands until I turned it into a sort of handshake when I just started to shake where I had her fist gripped in my own hand up and down for a solid 10 seconds

24. "confusing a handshake for a fist bump" - but the opposite lmao

minyard-josten rivalry, y'all know where it's at

so these two dumbasses keep their relationship a secret from everyone, including their managers and PR team

anyways, i imagine that there's some sort of pre-game interview happening, to create some hype for the shitshow that's going to be a minyard v josten game

the problem is... no one knows how to predict their moves

andrew's PR team tells him to be professional — maybe shake neil's hand instead of ignoring it like how he always does

neil's PR team tells him to do something more casual, to reduce the animosity he's such a natural at creating

you can probably see where this is going...

so. andrew, neil, and few people from each of their teams come out in front of the cameras

the teammates + managers on the sides are just staring very intently at andrew and neil

neil sighs and shoves out his hand for a first bump with his boyfriend of very many years

andrew however. look, he hasn't seen neil in weeks and he the cats miss him and give andrew lots of sad meows and really seeing neil is a relief so his children not his children, his CATS, can stop being so upset

basically, he has a bit of a gay panic while looking at neil — the shape of his face, his eyes, his hair (good lord, that needed to be cut three years ago)

and so when neil puts out his hand in greeting, andrew really can't be blamed for being distracted!

he slams his fingers into neil's fist.

they stare at each other for a few moments as the only sound is cameras flashing. slowly, andrew curls his fingers just as neil straightens out his fist bump.

neil's hand now gets stuck in andrew's fist.

andrew blinks at their joined hands, promptly lets go of neil's fingers, and turns around to walk away. his teammates try to grab onto him to bring him back but like honestly most of them are laughing too hard to do anything

so the game continues as usual (with a little bit of teasing towards neil and andrew by their teammates)

and at the end of the game during the handshakes, one of the announcers says "minyard! josten! maybe figure out if it's handshake or fist bump beforehand this time!"

andrew internally flips off the cameras

(it's only not external because he knows aaron's kids are watching the game tonight and he is determined to be the more mature uncle out of him and neil)

so instead of making a fool of himself again, andrew decides to just nod at neil and walk away

no sooner than a second later though, he feels a bonk on his head. neil just bonked him. on the head. in front of millions of people.

he has to salvage his reputation so he puts his hands up in a threatening gesture and says something menacingly, but no one in the audience can hear what he says

all they see is andrew looking scary and neil... doubled over laughing

instantly, there are whispers going around the stadium about what happened, so neil's coach is like 'nah we aren't letting this kid do the pre and post-game interviews' — andrew had accounted for this in his attempt to rebuild his persona

so they try to sneak neil out the back, but what andrew hadn't accounted for was a sneaky reporter who catches sight of neil and asks loudly "what was andrew minyard saying to you on the court?"

neil smirks and draws up to his full height (which frankly, is still tiny enough for andrew to give kisses without too much strain. it was the ideal height gap, if anyone asked him. not that anyone was asking him this)

"well," neil said. "he said rock" — neil makes a fist bump — "paper" — he extends an arm out for a handshake — "and then... " — neil makes a scissor symbol — "snip snip motherfucker. we're cutting your hair when we get home."

"wait, you two live together— "

#anon how—#how does that even happen #i don't even know what to say #anyways #we're just going to pretend this isn't like 3 weeks late #college apps are just kicking my ASS #ahem #everything's fine #andreil #andrew minyard #neil josten #aftg #all for the game #minyard josten rivalry #aftg headcanon #aftg hc #my headcanons #exy #exy is HELLA sexy

Included: Mother Miranda, Mia Winters, Donna Beneviento, Alcina Dimitrescu, Bela Dimitrescu, Cassandra Dimitrescu, Daniela Dimitrescu

Mother Miranda

It all depends on when

If she likes you - internal party but outwards she just raises a brow and asks to go back to work

If she doesnt - she just flat out doesnt care like so what if you like girls??? Can you read?

If the answer is no death

If the answer yes then keep working

But if Miranda cares shell be supportive in her....own...special...way

Mia Winters

Mia is more likely to blurt out right after you what her sexuality is and then die of embarrassment

It lightens the terrified vibe you were giving, but shes still mortified at herself

Mia will always supporr you though, shes too loyal for anything else

Someones mean?

Death

Donna Beneviento

Donna just wants to know if you're happy

You could come out as a roadrunner and all shed care about is the kind of tea you want

This girl

This lonely girl

Is just happy youre there

But shed also make it clear shell love like you no matter what

Alcina Dimitrescu

Shes like-

So clearly a lesbian that she never had to come out to literally anyone when she was able to show it

When you come out - which is still terrifying despite this

She is like- wait did everyone not know that

Which is mildly disconcerting for you, but you focus on the positive

Youre not dead

But you internally panic about everybody knowing before you

Bela Dimitrescu

Despite how everybody think otherwise, shes more cat-like than daniela and cassandra

You come out suddenly, and the moment you realize it

Which is in the library with Bela laying in your lap while you stroke her hair while she reads Sapho

Belas ? Bc duh literally she thought you were already dating

Cassandra Dimitrescu

She just doesn't get why you have to announce it

Shes fine with it

But you spend a full hour trying to explain why

She just doesnt get it

Unfortunately she starts coming out to everybody about being a sadist

....shell figure it out, but rn youre tired so

Alcina can handle it

(Lol, she cant)

Daniela Dimitrescu

Shes kind of pushy

So she begs you to tell her if youre into girls

And you kind of blow up and scream youre a lesbian

Which is news to you btw

Daniela is a puppy while youre reevaluating yourself

She doesnt get cuddles for a while, but she also doesnt care

(She does, just not negatively, baby gay smh)

The true biggest flaw of Fe3h is Fódlan doesn't have a Halloween. Can you tell me Hubert and Bernadetta wouldn't go all out for Halloween?

The idea for the event comes about during the White Heron Cup, where Bernie expresses that the dance would be a lot less scary if she could hide her face. She and Hubert had just undergone their B support and Hubert is still looking for ways to make Bernie comfortable around him while not sacrificing his own self-expression. Event Planner Hubert, who secretly enjoys parties but wishes they weren't filled with pretention, invites everyone to a "mysterious costume party" and frame it as a masquerade ball. (We're ignoring the fact that in canon he's like "really, the archbishop wants to throw a party right now?"). With the Vestra planning skills passed down for generations, he takes over the dining hall one night and books Manuela and Dorothea as entertainment (Ferdinand also joins, because he will take any and all opportunity to sing). Ideally, he decorates with as many skulls as he could possibly accumulate (”where did this come from?” “*evil laugh* wouldn’t you like to know”) and many candles. Even for Hubert, however, skulls are hard to come by, so Bernie ends up carving faces into pumpkins. Her weird idea is met with delight. The whole scene is slick and dark and the dance itself is held at midnight.

It 100% gets shut down in the middle, but it sure as hell was worth it.

What Everyone in Black Eagles Wears:

Edelgard - *slams fist on table* valkyrie Edelgard!!! She and Hubert make a set of black wings with leftover feathers from the Flame Emperor costume and she uses her armour from class as a template. She is many girls' gay awakening that night.

Hubert - a Dark Falcon Knight costume complete with a black helmet with plummage. It covers his eyes sharply, in red, and his cape trails behind him on the ground.The black feather details are kinda sus, but people go "oh it's just Hubert being dramatic". He's just too obvious to be involved in the Flame Emperor plot, come on now . . .

Bernadetta - of course I'm putting Bernie-bear in a bear costume. She has an adorable brown cloak with little bear ears on top that she made herself. The hood comes down really low, so much so that she put slits for her eyes. After the event she starts attending class like that. Byleth wants to make it the house uniform on the battlefield.

Dorothea - she borrows one of Manuela's old costumes, from one of her starring roles as a showgirl who marries into nobility. There are full peacock feathers circling her and there’s more jewels on it than she’d ever worn in her life. Manuela’s performance as this role was her bi awakening and wearing the costume feels too sacred (”if I sneeze in this outfit I will destroy it and owe the opera money even though the production is long over and Manuela owns it”). Petra notes that Dorothea is reminding her of home, because she looks like an exotic bird. She takes breaks from singing to flirt with the Bleagles girls mingle!

Ferdinand - Dorothea tells him he'll be in her good graces if he comes dressed as a bee. Not only does he oblige, but he goes all out. He wears a black jacket with sharp tailcoats to emulate a stinger, a black-and-yellow striped shirt, a gold vest, and a set of wings. He wears a bee antennae headpiece with flowers attached to it. Dorothea feels a little bad for making him go through the effort but he is genuinely embracing the bee lifestyle and everyone is super impressed with him.

Caspar - he just wears his battlefield clothes. (I made him a grappler in my first playthrough, so I’m imagining him in that beautiful outfit). When asked if he dressed up, he claims that he’s a warrior.

Linhardt - draws whiskers on his face and claims he's a cat. Everyone teases him for being low effort until Byleth walks in, also with cat whisker face paint and no other effort.

Petra - she initially panics because she wants to attend but has nothing suitable. She doesn’t want to wear any of her Brigidian clothes because they are not costumes. Inspiration hits her one day when Byleth accidentally hits her with their trailing jacket sleeves while zooming through the monastery at a speed no one goes at in their everyday life. She borrows a jacket and slumps it over her shoulders, puts her hair down, and tries to keep her expression blank. She even makes a copy of the Sword of the Creator. The costume is a massive hit.

Additionally, consider the following interaction:

Edelgard: It's no use. Nothing I own is suitable for the occassion!

Hubert: Well, save for that one costume.

Edelgard: . . . I am not exposing myself as the Flame Emperor for a party

#edelegs asks #black eagles #fe3h #black eagles fe3h #hubert von vestra #edelgard von hresvelg #bernadetta von varley #dorothea arnault #ferdinand von aegir #petra macneary #caspar von bergliez #linhardt von hevrig #byleth eisner #manuela casagranda #an alt idea is that caspar and linhardt go as each other but i needed low effort linhardt and petra as byleth #this isn't intended to be shippy bc i don't see any of the bleagles ships i like happening until timeskip #crimson flower #fe3h spoilers #long post

You got me talking Dark Emma! Oh Jeez, From the Emma Side. I don’t know if I can send an ask this long but I’m soo gonna try! Sorry for Grammar/Word Vomit.

When they were doing Dark Emma I was hoping for more from Emma! She was an Abandoned street kid from the foster system, they barely graze that.

Yes she knows the reasons why, they briefly touch on that in S2 but, they never touch on that trauma full on, I would have LOVED to have seen Emma in Foster Care. To show what they meant in S1 when she was let her background out with Henry at the original castle. (I think that’s the scene.) S3 We See “Lost Girl” we hear the feeling and the story of her being alone but we don’t really see very much of it I don’t think.

To have seen Dark Emma touch on that would have been awesome because like you said, the antithesis of what she is as the savior. So much to unpack I would have loved to have seen fate and destiny come up here. (especially if S6 was going of be as weird as it was.)

I’d love to see Emma be pissed about her destiny as the savior, the toll it took on her. Show more on the insanity of the darkness Her background of never being anything special to, 28 almost 30 and being The Savior- to the Fairytales.

I’d love to see the Snow/Charming/Emma family dynamic here to. It’s the antithesis of Emma! Show the angst there and the complexity you built.

What are your thoughts on this subject? I’d love to hear this in correlation to your thoughts on Regina and well being the castor to all of this and the Emma/Regina Dynamic.

Sorry for this Chaos. 😂

-Runs Away because I don’t do this-

don't apologise or run away! this is such a good ask, loved reading through it. i agree with you 10000% and when i talk about the wasted potential of this arc, a huge chunk of what i mean is how much was there to be explored in emma as a character. exactly what you said, her childhood, her lingering resentment, her relationship to her role as 'the saviour'...

so of course i am going to take this opportunity to do an emma companion to yesterday's ramble!

so yeah, the giant antithesis you talk about; going from being nothing, to being the saviour, to being the dark one. that's SO MUCH and none of it was ever explored properly. emma swan was honestly one of the most interesting protagonists whose 'reluctant hero' journey was actually complex and understandable unlike many and... yup, they abandoned it all in favour of silly stories about a sexy pirate man

again, i want to draw the focus to the season STARTING with emma sacrificing herself for regina. for emma as well as gina, this was huge. i don't think emma ever saw herself as the great destined saviour/hero she was, so her sacrifice in terms of that was never a big intentional thing - she just saw the woman she loved in danger and could not stand to let it happen. she had to save her no matter what the cost, and if the cost was her own goodness, well. emma never put as much stock in that as everyone else did for her anyway. she made a promise to regina that she would help her find her happy ending. and she did.

i really think emma acted out of pure instinct and panic. we know it is her instinct to protect regina above anything, even her own safety. she didn't think it through. she just threw herself to the darkness to save her, and then...

then she would have to deal with the fact that she did that. in front of all her family. in front of h00k. they SAW that raw panic in her, they saw that her priority was regina over herself, over her place in her destiny, over the man she was supposed to love. this was the closest emma ever came to a public declaration of her feelings imo and in emma's gay paranoia brain too, i'm sure.

so while we have regina grappling with how and why emma could do that for her, we have emma suddenly fucking buried in defensiveness and trying to recover from that lapse in her own repression. this is why every time regina tries to talk about it with her she shuts off. refuses to confide in her parents, though we all know snow sees and knows deep down. this is why it makes sense for her to cling to h00k as a beard, a distraction from her greatest heroic act of love

(but at the same time, emma does not regret it. she kicks herself for being reckless and not thinking stuff through, but she does not regret it. she would do it a hundred times over if she had to.)

it also makes perfect sense she trusts regina with her dagger over anyone and she rationalises this well (she has frequently been the one to keep regina in check, to look after the bigger picture and they both know they know each other better than anyone, enough to make those decisions) but then again, this pushes her deeper into defensiveness and repression to counteract the fact rumple gave belle his dagger (as a fucking marriage proposal too)

i would have loved to see emma grappling with the things you mentioned. i would have loved a return to the complex emma of season 1: because through s1, we saw emma grow and develop from a very closed off, defensive loner who wanted nothing to do with anyone, to a fiercely protective mother and eventual reluctant hero. but that journey was not easy.

like you say, emma grew up alone. it's implied she stuck up for herself most of the time because if she didn't, no one would. she had to learn at a very young age how to hang on to her food, her possessions, her time. she was a skilled thief and used to living out on her own. she was incredibly resilient and selfish and closed off because ever since she was a kid, that was how she survived. she didn't know any different.

and then of course she let neal in and he betrayed her in the worst way, and after that adult emma found her way to a job she liked and was good at (that often involved beating criminals up... hello unresolved anger) and lived in her shitty apartment by herself, taking 'care' of herself in same, bitter, bare minimum way she had always known as 'normal' . she learned very early on she was not special.

and then... she suddenly is the most special. the fated hero, destined to rescue her family and all their people, and of course she doesn't believe in anything, she believes in survival and harsh realities, but god she starts to believe in her son, to love him, to let him in and want to protect him and fight for something and then everything is real and she has almost no time to reconcile any of this before she is thrown off on one adventure and the next

i love the arc with her and snow in 2a where they slowly reconcile their former friendship with the new parent/child dynamic, but so much more was there to be explored. emma grew up with so much longing and resentment for both parents and then finding out they are snow white and prince charming? not great for a morally grey lesbian with identity issues, or for any kind of realism, plus so much more pressure to be some hero she never wanted to be in the first place

(and THEN on top of that her burgeoning darkness bursting out of her throughout 4a with nowhere to go, and the realisation of how terrified her parents were that she wouldn't be the perfect hero, of what they did to maleficent just to ensure she would be... fuck)

dark swan arc SHOULD have given emma the space, time and capacity for darkness to explore all of this.

to process in a way she had never been able to before, because she was too busy having to be the hero

well. now she's not the hero anymore, is she? now she is the dark one and oh boy does the darkness have a lot of repressed stuff to feed on...

i wanted to see emma exploring all that pain and fury of her childhood self. i wanted to see her finally snapping at her parents and letting everything out, some kind of climactic scene where she tells them they weren't there for anything, they chose to give her up, that she never asked for her destiny, never wanted it

and i wanted to see SNOW (my beautiful, complex, well written and real snow of the early seasons) dealing with all of this, coming to terms with what they did to mal and feeling that grief and guilt, mourning emma's lost childhood and trying to comfort regina through it while knowing emma needs this. that she deserves this.

i wanted dark one emma to be more like, well, emma.

not like every other villain, pretending to taunt and murmur threats and everything else they forced on her for no reason. i wanted to see emma at her darkest: bitter, selfish, cut off from her feelings and those of the people around her, dismissive of their fairytale bullshit. making the most harsh and grating jokes about things. not giving a fuck about anything or anyone. swaggering and messy and defensive

a dark emma who would be dismissive of hook and weirdly obsessive about regina (pushing her around and taunting her like season one emma but with the added years of connection, complexity, willingness to die for each other with no willingness to speak about any of it at all)

an emma with the voices of all the dark ones in her head, vocalising all the things she usually never let herself think, pushing her over the edge

(and of course, i wanted regina's true love's kiss to be what pulled her out of it. but i also wanted emma as the dark one to have the genuine time to work through all her unresolved issues, to release all that pent up anger and frustration that was never quite reconciled.)

#long post #since it has been requested #im gonna talk more about emma with dark one's memories of regina in my next longpost ;)#thanks for this ask bro i really love the excuse to talk about all of this #once again i did not reread this #we die like men #swan queen rambles #swan queen meta #emma swan meta #regina mills meta #dark swan meta #dark swan thirst gang RISE #dark swan analysis #swan queen #emma swan #regina mills #sq

what are some well written gay ships?

Kevin and Chiron, Moonlight

Moonlight is such a beautiful movie that relies very little on dialogue and mostly on cinematic language and a lot of the development and emotion between these two characters are embodied by the actors rather than spoken but I mean, I always reference the script

Mickey and Ian, Shameless

https://zalrb.tumblr.com/post/188937903460/why-do-you-like-gallavich

Even and Isak, SKAM

It’s been a while since I’ve watched SKAM but I remember appreciating the balance between Even and Isak just being initially drawn to each other and the narrative of how they get closer to each other, what they do when they are together, the internal obstacles they faced and overcome.

Burt and Irving, Severance

I love Burt and Irving for so many reasons but one of them is the quick establishment of their relationship in like five scenes because every single thing they do is loaded and pointed and deliberate to create this very strong bond in a very short amount of time. So, when an anon was like: " Seriously though *Irving and Burt do anything* Me: 🥺" I was like yeah because literally anything and everything they do serves their love story:

LOL well it also helps that every single they do is loaded, like it’s actually really skilful build up in a very short period of time. Before we even meet Irving we know that no one in the office likes him and he’s excluded from the camaraderie of the office and that no one takes working at Lumon as seriously as he does

so that when he meets Burt — who right out the gate mentions how underappreciated he and his department is —

and genuinely compliments his handiwork, which Burt appreciates and then they bond over what the painting means to them,

everything that’s being said means something more even though it sounds mundane

and mentioning the tote bag becomes symbolic of their intimacy

and so every look, every movement, every word actually means a lot so you really are witnessing a love story unfolding in *Irving and Burt do anything*

Damon and Ricky, Pose (until they break up, which was just ... ANYWAY)

Kena and Ziki, Rafiki

Again, like Evak, there’s that initial draw to each other and then the movie is spent watching them spend time together and fall in love

and music and colouring plays a really big role in indicating where they are in their relationship. It’s a very cute movie.

Yuri and Viktor, Yuri on Ice

what’s really great about it is that the sensuality and the eroticism springs from the fact that this is a love story beyond platonic love, beyond romantic love, it’s just love? Like it’s actually pure, true love between two human beings who share a connection with each other and it isn’t innocent it’s just uncorrupted but also surprisingly seductive.

Lady Hideko and Sook-Hee, The Handmaiden

I remember a few critics said that the sex scenes were excessive and I didn’t really feel that way, I think the explicit eroticism made sense considering that for her entire life, Hideko had been used and abused by men to please them, she’d been described as soulless and cold and frigid and the sex scenes illustrated that that’s untrue and a form of liberation from the abuse she’d endured.

Connor and Oliver in HTGAWM is odd because I don't think they have the best writing. Like, narratively speaking, particularly in season one, I’m not really sure what they love so much about each other, I’m not really sure why Oliver’s apartment is where Connor goes when he’s having a panic attack after Sam’s murder but the actors did a very good job in portraying their relationship

and as the seasons went on, their writing got better.

Kima and Cheryl, The Wire

There wasn’t too much space or too much writing for Kima and Cheryl in The Wire but what little there was, I thought was good. Not that their relationship was perfect, in fact we see its implosion but it was well-crafted.

Jack and Ennis, Brokeback Mountain

Particularly if you look at just how faithful the movie is to the short story.

Raymond and Kevin, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Jeff and Mateo, Superstore (until they just decided to do away with them)

Merlin and Arthur. Yes. I’m putting them down.

Honourable mentions: Jalec

No, they’re not romantically together and Jace is het. I don’t care. I maintain that that relationship was the only well-written, well-portrayed thing of that entire shitshow and their chemistry was painfully non-platonic.

hello hello hello gay panic headcanonns for kirishima, bakugo, sero, shinsou, and iida is my request i saw your denki post and wanted to give you sumn attention miss ma'am

i was honestly not expecting this!! so sorry it took this long to respond, I don't know if you can tell but i wrote these in the span of a week because i got really really busy and was inturrupted everytime i sat down to start.

also... i do apologize deeply but my shinsou hc just wasn’t turning out right and in the end i decided it’s not worth posting. my apologies ;;

so glad you enjoyed my denki x male reader!!

here you go ♡♡

warnings:

kirishima’s reader really likes strawberry milk and that’s the theme of it, vv sorry if you don’like strawberry milk ;; personally it’my favourite thing ever along with coconut bread

bakugo’s has a brief mention of a kick to the chest and the following nosebleed, it doesn't go into detail but if that bothers you then please do skip ^-^

and just a little author’s note, please enjoy and let me know what you think and if there should be other warnings ♡♡

☞�� Kirishima

oh he’s mad

i’ll tell you why

you came out of your dorm today looking sad

so of course, being a manly man, he asks you what’s wrong

you’re out of strawberry milk and didn’t realize, it seems

manly man that he is

he found some more for you

that’s not why he’s angry

your eyes lit up and you got so excited

strawberry milk is apparently one of your favourite things

so you thanked him with a hug

but no that’s not exactly why he’s angy

he’s angy because all he said was “THAKOME”

“thakome" wtfl (what the fairy lights)

he was trying to say thanks for the hug and “you're welcome” for the milk

he ran away

and then began pondering how deep in the shit called love he was

turns out he’s very deep in love shit

now what does he do

he’s not afraid to like guys especially cos you're super manly

but what if you don’t think it’s manly to like men

just his luck

you invited him to your room to play games and there’s an lgbtq+ flag on your wall

he saw an opportunity and was super casually like “heY where can i get one cos liKE i gotta represent too y’know"

your eyes lit up again, stop that

then you two got to talking about how you realized you were gay

you shared your story and asked for his

took some convincing but manly men don’t lie so he told you that you're pretty much his story

highkey you teared up a little and told him you really like him

bakugo rolled his eyes when he saw you two holding hands and was all like

“about time you two dumbasses”

you just ignored him while kiri turned red and started mumbling

☞☆ Bakugo

what is attraction

no like he really doesn’t like people

but you two were sparring, right

and you were sweaty

and you were grinning

and you kicked him in the chest ^-^ look at you i’m so proud you landed a hit on bakugo

the exact moment he fell in love

and then you rushed over and you made the saddest face he’s ever seen

you were honestly so afraid he was hurt from the face he made

...

“holy shit”

so maybe you must’ve kicked him in the nose, not chest

because he’s got a nosebleed

it didn’t help that you help your shirt to his nose and you were leaning all close

he may or may not have exploded a little bit of the floorboards

don’t blame him, he has no idea how to communicate with words

so when he goes to recovery girl (at your insistence) he’s pissed

why does he keep thinking about you

literally what is the point, you’re shit at fighting anyways

poor baby

he doesn’t understand this

next time he sees you he’ll literally scream, “GET OUT OF MY HEAD EXTRA, WHY AM I THINKING OF YOU ALL THE TIME”

you’re confused

kirishima will have to coach him, with plenty of quips from denki and sero

so the next time he’ll confess with kiri’s teachings in mind

☞☆ Sero

you’re trying to tell me he hasn’t done this gay panic shit before?

he knows how this goes

he’s fully content to just sit here and look at your handsome face

he was scatter rained enough

but he’s not even listening aizawa-sensei anymore

just

--staaaaare--

you know what i’m talking about

it’s not creepy or anything, just

“pay attention, cellophane”

oh shit

play it cool

just pretend to be actually listening for a few

it’ll be fine

he’s been through that situation so many times

at this point the whole class knows

everybody’s certain that’s aizawa’s way of wingman-ing

except you never look up on time

you catch him looking sometimes but he plays it cool and points at mineta with a grin

it works every time, mineta is always trying to perv someone >:(

he likes to imagine what would happen if he confessed

his favourite is where you butterfly kiss him

he has less nice scenarios in his head but that one always makes him smile

once in the dorm kitchens you asked him why he’s smiling

you said it super innocent and it sounded so neutral he didn’t stop himself from answering

“just because i like you”

aizawa stopped telling him to pay attention after thfe irst time he saw you holding hands in the hallways

sero will never stop smiling

what a goof but you love him

☞☆ Iida

oh boy why you gotta confuse sanic like this huh??

and when i say confused i mean he doesn’t understand this at ALL

don’t get it twisted, he knows what “gay” is

sanic just didn’t realize HE was gay

and boy is he

see, sanic is well put together

he knows exactly who he is

and then you

y o u

you gave him some art you did of him

he was like ??? thanks for the art??? when did you draw this???

he’s supportive of this new artistic talent but it’s n e w to say the least

so you went “oh i just look at you all the time”

you said it so casual

but you ran away after that as i would

not as fast as sanic but he wouldn’t have gone after you

because he was dumbstruck anD i MeAn he was struck dumb

you??? look at him?? aLL tHe tIME? like??

so being the responsible class rep that he is

he had an existential breakdown

came face to face with the fact that his friendly feelings towards you are’t as friendly as he’d been convincing himself

denied it

accepted it

and then ran after you in the five seconds after you ran off

oh boy words are awful because how do people confess? i don’t know but don’t ask him, because he butchered it BAD

but at least the words left his mouth

honestly this boy didn’t even stop to consider what would happen after he confessed

he just word vomited

which is why he’s extra happy when you hug him and tell him you feel the same

in more simple words of course

“i like you too, tenya!”

sonic’s in heaven please hug him some more

hey!! it’s been a while but i’ve recently gotten home from camp and have been catching up on so many fics lmao

so i’m an artist and i was hoping for a vic head canon with either y/n drawing her or painting with her?? thank you so much!! and i can’t wait for more fic updates whenever they happen, especially the boarding school one! <3

Omg I didn’t think anyone still wanted the boarding school one😂

As an artist too, it would be an understatement to say I haven’t fantasized about something art related with Vic❤️

Also, I hope you had a lot of fun at camp💖💖

It was a cheerful, Sunday afternoon; everyone in Rome seemed to be basking in the hot summer sun, but not Y/n

It was way too hot outside an all she wanted to do was relax in her apartment, taking advantage of the AC Victoria had convinced her to install

“Oh come on, you’re just gonna sit there and ignore me all day?” Her husky voice came from beside Y/n, who was peacefully sketching a few trees

“I was gonna draw, so you are free to talk as much as you want to.”

Victoria scoffed and elbowed y/n softly. “No chance. I need to be more involved in what you’re doing.”

“I could…. Paint you?” Y/n offered, regretting the words as soon as they came out of her mouth. For one, she could never do justice to Victoria’s god-like features, and secondly, knowing the blonde, she’ll find a way to tease her.

“Sounds perfect! I’ll be waiting in your study.” With that, she got up from the sofa and walked towards the room.

Y/n inhaled sharply before getting up herself and going to the study.

Her mouth fell open seeing Victoria prompted against a block of quarts, naked, except for a translucent vail lazily draped on her body.

“Vic…” y/n whispered, hypnotized by her, which only inflated the blonde’s ego.

“You like what you see, puppy?” She mused, flipping a few locks of hair over her shoulder, exposing her neck. Y/n could only nod as she scanned the girl up and down, eventually picking up a pencil and starting to sketch on an empty canvas.

“Could you make the background be like… the sea?” Vic asked, ideas sparking in her head.

“Sure.” Y/n answered, voice raspy and barely above a whisper. Every time she tried to shade or correct a certain part of the drawing, her focus would get lost.

“You seem to be staring at me more than you’re drawing.” Vic interrupted Y/n’s train of thoughts:

The girl simply shrugged and continue to shade in her face, which she already knew by memory.

When she looked back at Victoria, she noticed her hand was now between her legs, and softly moving against her. Y/n almost dropped her pencil while watching Victoria please herself.

“Take a seat and enjoy the show, cucciola.” Vic instructed, spreading her legs further apart.

Y/n sat down immediately and fixed her gaze upon the girl, sitting like an eager student.

Victoria started rubbing her clit, causing her head to fall backwards and expose the skin y/n loved kissing so much.

Soft moans escaped the blonde’s mouth as she quickened her pace and entered a finger, her wetness was spread all along her thighs and Y/n felt like she could explode right in that moment

Vic was now thrusting two fingers into herself, reaching up to the nuckles, as she trembled in pleasure and moaned every time she hit the right spot. Her palm was rubbing her clit and the other hand was roughly playing with her nipple.

It didn’t take long for the talented girl to reach her edge, cuming loudly onto her fingers

Y/n watched her wetness drip down the quartz as Victoria calmed down

“Satisfied?” Victoria asked, a few tears falling down her cheeks and a wild grin on her face.

“I think I should be asking you that.” Y/n croaked, trying to hide how turned on she was.

“Let’s go to the bedroom”

The next morning, Victoria went into the kitchen, grumpy and tired, looking for Y/n.

“AMORE?!” She yelled into the apartment, hoping to get a sign from the girl

“Yes, yes, yes.” She entered the room, her hair messy and blushing.

Victoria’s gaze fell upon her bruised neck, smirking as she remembered the previous night, before noticing a smudge of paint on her cheek.

“You left.” The blonde pouted, scrunching her nose.

“Oh you baby.” Y/n scoffed, enveloping the girl in a warm hug and resting her head on Vic’s.

“You were painting.” She whispered, tugging her shirt.

“Yeah, just some sketch I had to finish.” Y/n answered quickly, making Vic squint at her.

“You’re being suspicious. Show me what you painted.”

“It’s fine. How about I make you coffee and-“ she was interrupted by Vic pulling out of her embrace and sprinting down the hallway, towards the room. “NO!”

All she heard was a loud gasp as she prayed the world would swallow her whole.

“Baby, c’mere.” The blonde’s commanding voice beckoned her to the room. Y/n walked slowly to her, wrapping her arms around herself and looking at the floor.

“Yes?”

Victoria couldn’t believe what she was looking at. The canvas Y/n had sketched on the other day was now fully colored, and a perfect rendition of her was living on the material.

“How did you do this? It’s unbelievable, Y/n” Vic breathed out, admiring the masterpiece. “And I’ve got to say, the hand between my legs and my pleasured face really pulls it together. The cum dripping down the quartz is very nice too!” She teased, pressing a chaste kiss to Y/n’s neck.

The girl had woken up at 4 am and headed directly to the studio, inspiration flowing through her. She picked up a brush and before she realized what she was painting, a perfect image of Victoria fucking herself appeared on the canvas

“You… like it?” Y/n asked sheepishly, examining the girl’s face.

“So much. I’ll convince the guys to let me put it in our studio.” She mused, sending a wave of panic through Y/n.

“Vic-“ she was interrupted by the blonde’s hungry lips on her, pulling every thought out of her mind.

A ✨bit✨ smuttier than originally intended. Sue me.

As with everything I write, a special dedication to @cantaraiilmionome 😉

Note

this is your chance: wax poetic about an Empires or DSMP character of your choice to a fan who is new to both. Explain why I should love them. I need guidance in this new and meme-populated land.

okok this is a lot of pressure haha. Spoilers for EmpiresSMP and DreamSMP below, obviously. I wrote a lot so prepare yourself, anon

I watch a lot of empires POVs but the ones I most anticipate every week are Scott and Sausage.

c!Scott (I'll call him Smajor for the sake of simplicity) starts off the series chilling, not really getting involved with the rest of the server, and staying aggressively neutral. After all, he's an elf. He has lived far longer than most of the other rulers already, and will most likely outlive them for many years. So, the best thing is to stick to his mountains and not get invested in the dealings of mortal affairs, maybe sometimes causing problems on purpose and dipping because what's life without a little spice right.

But then, this demon comes to the server, Xornoth. He's going around causing havoc and wants to send the world into an eternal winter, but he doesn't bother the kingdom of Rivendell much so Smajor stays tentatively cautious but ultimately unbothered. But then, the puzzle pieces start falling together. The first thing that the audience noticed was was Xornoth sounded like Smajor, but we mostly thought that this was just due to cc!Scott voicing both of them and there was nothing more to it. However, then, the people the demon starts possessing start chanting in elvish. The demon hates mortals, and the elves are conveniently one of the two confirmed not fully mortal races in Empires.

This culminates when Smajor stumbles across a cave that contains the backstory of the patron god of Rivendell, Aeor. Basically, there's two opposing forces, Aeor and Exor, and both have a champion. In a previous life, those champions were two brothers, where Aeor eventually prevailed and banished Exor. In this life though, the champions are - you guessed it - Smajor, and the demon Xornoth.

So now Smajor is like. Well fuck. It's my literal god-given destiny to be responsible for defeating this demon who is technically my brother, and if I fail the server gets plunged into an eternal winter. And I have no fucking clue what is happening because I've just been here on this mountain actively trying to stay out of the issues outside my kingdom. We watch him panic and teeter on the verge of spiraling for an entire episode, and when the followers of Xornoth go to the End to kill the dragon, releasing Xornoth's full powers, he fails to stop him. Smajor is a character who was used to being the smart one, the prepared one, the one who has the least deaths on the server. But he's also a character who runs away from his problems and ignores them. Before and during the dragon fight, we hear the desperation in his voice, as he's thrown into a situation he is wholly unprepared for, and it's bigger than him going to the Cod Empire to kill their king, or assisting in other people's plans to kill the codfather. He can't run from this. cc!Scott plays this scene so well as well, as I've said before, one of the best parts of Scott's acting is how he's never super dramatic, but he's so effective in the little things like inflection to make you feel, viscerally, the panic and dread.

So after the dragon fight, Smajor realizes, I can't do this on my own. I've tried and failed. So he gets allies. We watch him, someone who has so strongly been an isolationist, learn the benefits of allies and watch him learn to trust others and watch him learn how to get that trust in return.

My favorite thing about Smajor's characterization is that he's an incompetent protagonist, but not in the way of the "plucky young adventurer". He's capable skill-wise, and fairly jaded and very pessimistic. However, his issue is that up until recently, he did not care about the rest of the server at all, and by the time he learned to, it was way too late.

Also, in 3rd Life, cc!Scott and cc!Jimmy were canonically married and they reference it sometimes in Empires. Like, Scott goes over to the Cod Empire every so often both in and out of character to kill and/or flirt with Jimmy, the ruler of the Cod Empire, which may develop as a secondary plot into the future who knows. So ty Scott for giving the gays what they want o7

Now onto Sausage: his is a story of Icarus, his hubris and ambition being his downfall. He's one of the two followers of Xornoth, who promised him endless power in exchange for his servitude. He started the series being eccentric, but not outright unhinged, but slowly gets more and more extreme as the series progresses, as he gets brought more and more to Xornoth's side.

One of the best parts of Sausage's character, in my opinion, is how his gradual corruption affects the people around him. Initially, he got into a conflict with the Cod Empire and was allied with two other people in the Witherrose alliance. They were allies, but also close friends. The fandom liked to joke that the three had sibling energy, and I'm pretty sure the ccs played to that even more lol.

It was painful to watch the other two members, Gem and fWhip, watch Sausage get corrupted right in front of them, and see them desperately clinging on to this old idea of Sausage in their head because if they faced the truth, it would mean that their friend was gone. Eventually, they do finally cut him out of the alliance, leading him to fully commit to the side of the demon. Sausage felt very clearly betrayed by this, and declared the remaining two Witherrose alliance members to be enemies.

He gets more and more possessed, and we even see the other Empires, his enemies even, slowly realize that something is very wrong with the ruler of Mythland. He starts doing more and more evil things, like killing people more, making sacrifices to the demon, and eventually helping to kill the dragon to free Xornoth. So things are good for Sausage, for a bit. He won, and is more powerful than ever. Then he finds out: he's going to die. Xornoth's possession is slowly killing his soul, and eventually, his body going to be fully taken over and he himself is going to be trapped in the spirit realm. So how do you react to this? Over the next few episodes, we watch Sausage struggle between "the demon is literally killing me" and "the demon has given me so much, and I love it", all while Xornoth takes over more and more of him. We hear him exclaim that "don't worry!! I'm still about 15% there!" while trying to downplay every time Xornoth completely takes over his body. We watch him willingly oppose anyone who is trying to end the thing that is killing him.

My favorite thing about Sausage is that he is undoubtedly evil and proud of it, but he's also undoubtedly human. If you like to watch evil characters go absolutely feral, he's the guy for you. He makes the deal with Xornoth in the beginning, knowing and fully embracing the evilness of the demon, but at the same time he knows what he's doing is detrimental to both himself and everyone around him, but he's gotten in way too deep at this point, and to be fair the demon has held up its end fo the bargain, right?

Also, I would be damned if I don't talk about cc!Sausage's editing. Every one of his videos is like a movie. The way he does camera angles and uses music is so skillful- every lore scene feels like something out of a high fantasy action saga (think: LotR). Every big lore event I always wait in anticipation for Sausage's ep because his editing truly takes lore to another level.

I'm just generally very excited to see where this series goes. Empires is such a good mix of talented builders and good lore. Part of the reason why the series is so immersive for me, beyond any other lore smp, is that they have the settings to back it up. There is a certain charm to the DreamSMP's objectively terrible builds (with a few exceptions) but in Empires, the settings help sell the plot so much.

Another part of why I love EmpiresSMP is how much the ccs are involved with the fan community. I'm sure you've seen the memes about Scott being on tumblr, and Sausage regularly goes through the EmpiresSMP fanart tag on Twitter and likes art, even ones not related to Mythland. Most of the ccs, in fact, have brought up tumblr content on stream at some point or another. Like, several ccs have said that they read tumblr lore theories and hcs and stuff and sometimes take inspiration from them. Fun fact: Rivendell's church was inspired by my pinned drawing; confirmed by Scott Smajor himself. It's just such a good cycle of ccs and fans being excited about each other.

As for DreamSMP, I'm gonna be honest here, the only person I really am invested in in Technoblade. I started watching when he joined the server, and he's the only person whose lore I keep up to date with.

Techno's fun to watch because he's like the Deadpool of DreamSMP. Virtually unkillable, very skilled and scary, but consistently cracks jokes and breaks the 4th wall during plot. His POV is just fun. Like, he does wild plans and gives speeches and some of the stuff that happens to him should be called deus ex machine if it wasn't for the fact that Technoblade is the one who's doing it, and all the stuff is grounded in the fact that cc!Techno is just that good at the game.

However, the fact that he rarely takes anything seriously makes the few times Techno is 100% serious so much more impactful. His whole character has a basis in being perceived as inhuman and being treated as such, and therefore in return trying to hide his humanity. So, when he shows that humanity, whether that's fear, anger, or genuine love for his friends, it really makes you go "oh shit."

Techno's often said not to have character development, but I'd argue that while he remains steadfast in his moral code, he develops leaps and bounds as a person. Like, at the beginning, he's brought onto the server to help Wilbur and Tommy overthrow a government; them knowing he's 1) an anarchist and 2) very very powerful. His character was more of a plot device at that point and was treated as such in the canon. Wilbur and Tommy straight-up lie to him about their plans to establish another government after they overthrow the current one, while he was led on to believe that they were abolishing all governments in the area. But he isn't a plot device. He's a person, as much as he only shows the terrifying, blood god side of himself.

After the establishment of New Lmanburg (the new government its a long story), his friend Phil joins. And for the first time, we see him be fully human with someone and we see someone treat him like a human. Like, we saw glimpses before, with Wilbur and Tommy in Pogtopia, but Phil is the first person we noticeably see he trusts 100%. Then Doomsday happens, and Techno essentially retires to the tundra. During this time, we see Techno learn to be more human, first with Ranboo, then Niki when he establishes the Syndicate. In fact, the two of them, along with Phil, canonically throw him a birthday party, which is a far cry from his treatment in Pogtopia.

Techno's development is one of a god learning to be human, and I just think he <3
