Ω PJO DEMIGOD HEADCANONS: 🥂HEBE: Goddess of Youth and Forgiveness 🙏

Author's note: Hello everyone! In lieu of posting the major gods demigod headcanons, here is the minor gods version!As usual these headcanons will contain what it's like being claimed and what it's like for the respective god and cabin, followed by a small story between you, the reader, and the respective demigod of that god. Thank you for reading and please like and reblog! [PJO MINOR GODS DEMIGOD HEADCANONS MASTERLIST] Disclaimer: To new fans or strictly TV watchers of the PJO series, future spoilers for the entire PJO series books will be referenced. Read at your own risk.

When you get claimed, things start to make sense. You smell fresh, your skin is bouncier and smoother than usual. A cup appears in your hand, in a form that is familiar to you and it is filled with your favourite comfort drink. You take a sip and it makes you feel right at home and brings you vigour to you. 

Your half-siblings explain that cup is magical and is also your cup-bearer. It never goes empty, at its optimal temperature and freshness, and you can share your drink like a fountain for others to drink at your own will. The catch is it is limited to only one, non-alcoholic drink, which is the same drink that appeared when you got claimed.

They say the drink tells a lot about the individual, however, there have been some questionable drinks such as one child of Hebe who had a goblet that had never ending pickle juice. At some point, they had to get the drink changed by going to Hebe if they could have a different drink because of reasons that led to pickle juice incidents. 

It’s not just a never-ending drink beverage. It’s actually a pretty effective weapon. You see its potential use when you had the insane idea to create a flood and took a shot when you saw a horde of monsters. Like turning on the hose all the way, the drink shot out of the chalice like a firefighter’s hose, the strength of it pushing you backwards from the force of it, all the while a flood of your drink flooded away the monsters. Percy Jackson came forwards and was confused yet laughing his stomach off when he came over because of-said flood. 

Being a child of Hebe makes sense when you look at yourself. There’s a sense of youthfulness to you. You’re either baby-faced and/or have been mistaken regularly for a younger age. It may be convenient at times while also being very annoying to deal with, but at least the slight annoyance is smoothed over the fact that you are a child of Hebe, and from what you hear about your godly parent, it just makes sense.

To a certain degree, some children of Hebe can magically turn themselves to look younger than their actual age, but they can’t look older than they actually are. However, don’t do this too much because there’s a chance you might not be able to reverse it in a timely manner. Don’t worry, according to Hebe, the max limit you’ll be able to turn young is at 8 years old. Anyways, enjoy getting those sweet children prices and discounts! 

Though you also have a ‘childish’ trait that is just a part of you; either something like baby fat, soft baby-like hair, a childish voice- once you’re claimed though, you learn how to control it on command. You have no idea how useful it is as a tactic to deceive your foes by using a child’s like voice to drop down their guard to only attack them right after. 

Being a child of Hebe also means children are naturally drawn to you. If you’re not a big fan of children, don’t worry about it. There’s some sort of effect that makes the children around you be very well-mannered. 

You can also make people look more youthful; for a more powerful child of Hebe, they can make others look actually young. You can make a good business in giving people good skincare, which is revolving clients from the Aphrodite cabin . Or make great bucks from the Hermes cabin alone to make the campers look young and open a whole lot of more pranks. 

In all seriousness, the children of Hebe are probably let out on more minor quests by Chiron with the Satyrs looking for young demigods. If you don’t like being in school, I get it but you have an important task of seeking any potentially endangered demigods and protecting them from monsters that threaten them.

There’s a strange thing among the children of Hebe that isn’t even conscious. You know how sometimes parents will keep a memento of their child when they were little? Like the locks of their hair when they were a baby or your baby teeth? Well, all children of Hebe still have it and have them on them. Like the children of Tyche, it acts as their lucky item or in this case, their totem, amulet or what have you. You have heard many stories of how your fellow half-siblings have to protect your lock of baby hair from others to preserve their youthfulness to actually fighting off the tooth fairies. Apparently, children of Hebe baby teeth are very prized among the tooth fairies-

Hebe sends you guys arcade games or just ordinary games, regularly for you all to play, as she manages an arcade called “Hebe Jeebies”. It’s a blast to the past and you’ll find yourself transported back to your childhood. 

Speaking of childhood, children of Hebe are masters of childhood joy and nostalgia. This ranges from being able to name and make toys from anyone’s childhood to saying nostalgic memes, references, and such. You are abhorred when younger demigods don’t know “What is Love” by Haddaway. Good thing you know Rick Astley will Never Gonna Give You Up. 

With Hebe also being worshipped closely with her mother, Hera, you and your siblings manage Hera’s cabin-temple as proxy. If anyone is going to survive Hera’s wrath or one of her bad days, it’s the children of Hebe. Your cabin is treated like a hero because of this. 

If you’re a fan of chicken, well good news for you! Well, if you like the animal chicken and not actually eating chicken as a meat. Hebe’s sacred animal is the chicken so it’s not unusual to have a chicken coop. 

Not many people know that Hebe is also considered the goddess of Forgiveness. Like Aphrodite and charmspeak, you can talk to people to forgive themselves, and in others as well. You don’t tell them that they have to forgive and forget, that they’re allowed to remember but forgive, but at some point the burden will become too much and you can let go. 

When you get claimed, you feel slightly rejuvenated and giddy that you haven’t felt in a very long time. You almost felt like a super young again, before you were still unaware of the world of the gods. You weren’t sure if it was just the fact that you got claimed or it was Hebe’s blessing. Your skin definitely felt tighter, plump, and soft like a baby. As you were inspecting your arm and how smooth it was, you also caught the whiff of something like warm milk and baby powder?

You saw something shimmer in the sky and you squinted. The light seemed to blend a bit before it took a form. You saw what looked like to be a chalice before it floated down into your hands. As soon you grasped it, it became heavier. You inspected its outside appearance before you could hear something like liquid? You raised the chalice up a bit to peer the interior and then out of nowhere, liquid began to spill out of it. You let out a gasp and sputtered, pulling back the chalice as it filled with the mysterious liquid. 

Upon instinct, your tongue darted out to lick off what was on your lips before you wiped off what you could with your arm. Then the taste finally hits you. 

You blinked in confusion, smacking your tongue against the root of your mouth to gather the taste again before realisation hit you. You looked at the chalice, the liquid seemingly familiar to you before you tentatively brought the rim to your lips. You tipped the chalice just so and took a careful sip. The liquid poured out of the chalice and it flowed in a familiar way to you before and you gasped in glee at the taste. 

It was your favourite drink of your favourite flavour. It was the right consistency, the right temperature, and its peak state that you liked so much. You looked at the chalice in awe. Inspecting it and wondered how you even had it, and it’s appearance before you heard shouts. 

You looked up and saw a large boy with dark skin with remarkable features. You looked at him in awe and you faintly noted the Brazilian flag around his person. He greeted you with a bright white smile as he waved, before he began to speak happily. 

“Ola! meu nome é Paolo! filho de Hebe e seu novo irmão. Prazer em conhecê-lo!” he introduced himself. 

You understood what he was saying completely fine and waved, introducing yourself in your own native language. Paolo’s eyes lit up as he understood you fine as well, before he began to talk to you eagerly. You wondered if the children of Hebe all spoke different languages, they still understood each other properly. If this was true, you wondered if it had to do something with the language of Youth, how babies seemingly talked and understood each other, even if they had differences, yet seemed to share a deep innate language with each other.  

“Come, come, let me show you around!”  said Paolo, gesturing to you to follow. He happily helped you grab your stuff from the Hermes cabin and led you to your new cabin. 

When you entered it and felt a strong wave of nostalgia hit you, even though this was your first time in this cabin. There was just something about it that seemed familiar to you however. Even the bed you were given reminded you of your childhood bed, if not its appearance but how it felt. The entire cabin had bits of nostalgia as you saw stuff from your own childhood, as if the cabin had catered areas of pieces of your time existing. 

As Paolo introduced you to the cabin and showed you around, you both shared your own drinks from your own chalices, Paolo introduced you to a soft drink called Guarana, while you let him taste your personalised drink from your own chalice. He showed you his chalice in the form of a different vessel and showed you how to change your own chalice shape into your preferred form; whether it could be a regular mug, a tiny teacup, a kiddie cup, or whatever you so desired with any appearance and design on it.  

The two of you continued to share drinks and talk, letting you get to know more about each other; comparing your own childhoods with each other, your cultures, and the similarities and differences between you. 

a/n: Sorry to the Brazilians and Portguese speakers for the use of google translate. I've tried to remember of what I've heard before and reviewing the Brazilians speaking to get a sense of casual speaking when I was watching the QSMP but hope it's bearable. Please forgive me 🙏 if someone gives me a better way of saying it, send me an ask, I'll replace it with that

[verysium]

need more of your sae for scientific reasons. very important

here you go lovely:

sae has zero taste in fashion unfortunately. if it covers his body and does not get in the way of football, then it works for him. that's also the reason why he accepts christmas sweaters with the most atrocious color combinations. he genuinely doesn't know that they're ugly (and also doesn't want to upset his mother and elderly aunties.) still has a pair of bright turquoise swim trunks from when he was a preteen with "i ♡ seagulls" printed all over them. he never threw them out and still wears them on summer trips. did not understand why half the beachgoers were side-eyeing him.

sae cannot comprehend internet slang. if you send him any acronym, he will read it out loud in the literal sense. would flick you on the forehead if you said he was becoming too millennial. he was born in the 2000s but cannot relate to anyone in the same generation.

sae would adopt a cat, but it would be a reverse adoption. the cat would choose him and not the other way around. he would not bother with it other than the required feeding and grooming. tried to play with it once, but it hissed and scratched at him. both of them just exist simultaneously in the same residence. sometimes the kitty jumps on his bed at midnight in order to cuddle. he would also name it something like "neko" or "el gato" or literally "the cat" because he is so unoriginal.

sae gives himself the whole patrick bateman monologue every morning when he does his skincare routine. he peels his face mask off in slow motion too. when you pointed out the similarities, he got mildly upset because he does not like being compared to anyone.

sae secretly hates the fact that rin is taller than him. he thinks about it a lot when he sees the family photos. sometimes wishes he grew just a little more during puberty. that way he would be taller than 180 cm.

sae cannot sing for the life of him. but if you are sick or having nightmares, he will hum you the lullaby his mother used to sing for him. gets shy when you compliment his voice, but his emotions do not manifest physically on his facial features. sometimes when he thinks you're finally asleep in his lap, he will brush your hair back and kiss your forehead.

sae sometimes feels a stirring in his chest whenever he spots a child in the park or an old couple on the benches near the boardwalk. he left for spain at a young age, so he inevitably gets the feeling that his childhood was stolen from him. if he ever matured to the point where he could see beyond his own ambitions, he would want to start a family.

sae loves it when he comes home from practice and sees you dancing around in the kitchen. he will watch silently as you prance around with a spatula and belt out the lyrics. sometimes he just wants to capture the moment and tuck it into his breast pocket and treasure it forever.

sae feels touched when you actually listen to what he says. because he is a man of few words, he usually has to be the one who listens, digests information, and offers sound advice. however, if you grant him the time of day to hear him out or gift him something that he once mentioned off-hand, he will feel strange tingles of the emotion he tries so desperately to deny.

sae is a skeptic. no scam, ploy, or false pretense will ever make it past him. he despises people-pleasers and does not understand why he has to conform to other people's standards. will not trust news outlets unless he personally was there as an eyewitness account or there is sufficient research backing up the claims.

sae is rather extreme when it comes to getting hurt. it is all or nothing with him. if he feels like you somehow penetrated through his walls and hurt him even in the slightest way, he will make the situation worse by hurting you back tenfold. usually he tries to justify pushing you away, and that just ends up driving him even further from you. tbh he really needs to work on his communication skills. rather than shutting down after an issue arises, he has to learn to put his own opinions aside and hear out the other party.

sae gets bored easily, but he is hesitant to try out new things in fear of not being immediately good at them. as the eldest child of his family and a hailed prodigy in his nation, there is the expectation that he must naturally excel at everything to set a good example. football is where he first found his talent and where he feels the most comfortable even if it isn't as inspiring and exciting as it once was. unfortunately, it leads to the onset of burnt-out-gifted-kid syndrome. that's also why he is seeking out a strong striker who can meet his demands and generate the impossible plays he is looking for. essentially sae needs someone to rekindle his original love for the sport.

sae gets defensive when he lets other people down, except this isn't immediately apparent. usually you would have to read between the lines with him. he bases his self-worth off both his own ambitions and the people close to him. if he disappoints someone important to him, he will be stuck in this sinkhole of internal turmoil. that's also why he lashes out at rin when rin reminds him of their shared dream he gave up on. he doesn't like his mistakes being pointed out, much less when his stoic image crumbles. he might also push you away and try to convince himself that you aren't worth that much to him in order to lessen his guilt.

sae needs someone highly intuitive and patient in his life. you need to be able to understand his emotions intrinsically because even he cannot grasp his own feelings. you also need to teach him how to connect himself with the outside world. because sae has primarily fended for himself ever since he was born, you have to convince him that it is okay to rely on others. his mentality is that if he reaches the top, no one will be able to touch him, much less hurt him. however, he sometimes fails to see how that simultaneously isolates himself from others.

sae is relatively straightforward when it comes to getting what he wants. if he somehow miraculously realizes and comes to terms with the fact that he loves you, he will confess it directly to your face. "date me or don't." it's not even a question. it's a factual statement.

sae is not as emotionally mature as the rest of the fandom makes him out to be. just because he does not show emotions in a traditional sense doesn't mean he necessarily has better control or understanding over them. for example, he gets jealous but would not know that the emotion he is feeling is actually called jealousy. rather than tease him about it, i think he would sincerely appreciate if you reassured him both verbally and physically through your actions. he is a man who relies on substance, so you need to prove that you'll be the one who stays with him through thick and thin.

sae oscillates between caring too little about others and caring too much. on one hand, he is more than willing to drop someone or something if his end goal has already been met. the ends always justify the means in his mind. however, he also feels doubt and uncertainty at times. like rin said, he hates losing. he objects to the blue lock program at first largely because he doesn't like the idea of a newcomer. he's already written off japan as a substandard country for football, so the idea of it being changed essentially challenges him directly. but again, this is a delicate line of balance. he is alright when it comes to being challenged mentally in football and seeking out a creative out-of-box solution. for instance, he is more than willing to accept rin's progress, shidou's unpredictability, and isagi's breakthrough talent. however, he is not okay with having his preconceptions destroyed as evidenced by his disillusionment in spain.

sae and ego would actually get along pretty well because they both have this one-track mind when it comes to football. players are reduced to numbers and metrics, and everything is evaluated as an advantage or disadvantage. ego is also ruthless when it comes to the elimination of the weak, and sae wouldn't disagree with that.

sae sometimes wakes up on the weekends and sees you in his bed, the sunlight raining down on your face. it is in this sort of domesticity that he wonders what life would be like if he wasn't a football prodigy. he craves normality not in the sense that he wants to be like everyone else but rather the idea that he needs to feel some sort of attachment or sense of belonging between you two. he could care less about the rest of the world but so long as you accept him, he would feel validated.

sae gives you free reign over his heart when he finally gives out and you're still there to pick him up. in his mind, he is worth nothing if he fails. if you're still there to reassure him and put him back together, he will first look at you like you're stupid for even wanting to stay with him. but once he realizes you stay only because you love him, you have his unconditional commitment. he would put a ring on your finger right then and there.

lmao that was long but that concludes my psychoanalysis on sae. hope that cures your insatiable need.

(Idk which blog you prefer for asks hehe)

GIMME HEADCANONS tell us about how Shizuo dyes his hair, or Izaya's morning routine is, *cough* trans Izaya hcs? 👀

ok i took forever to answer this because i wasn't sure how i wanted to format my thoughts on this in a way that doesn't feel repetitive (to me, personally) but HERE GOES

Since this will be long I'm gonna pop it all under a cut,

so TLDR; Shizuo takes really good care of his hair; Izaya's morning routine is overly complicated or there is None At All; Izaya is an Any Pronouns type Bitch

I see a lot of people claim Shizuo's hair would be incredibly damaged or dry from his bleaching, but I argue that someone who has been bleaching their hair for over a decade and includes THEIR FUCKING EYEBROWS is not doing this in a half-ass way.

Also, we see Kasuka gift Shizuo the bartender uniforms, therefore I think it's safe to assume that even if the first couple of bleachings were damaging that Kasuka went ahead and helped Shizuo find a gentler bleach, as well as specific hair care products that are meant to mitigate the regular damage bleach can cause.

Source: i've been bleaching my hair for over a DECADE and i've only fried my hair TWICE both of which had nothing to do with the level of chemical and moreso that i fell asleep with the bleach in my hair.

Source: I have multiple friends of asian descent with different hair types who also have been very diligent about not frying their hair.

Source: We never see Shizuo's roots therefore we know he's keeping up with the ROOTS which thus causes less damage over all. Less Chemical means Less Damage which means He keeps UP with it to make it less of a hassle.

---

Izaya's morning routine heavily depends on whether or not he's going out that day, meeting with clients or staying inside.

If he's going to be interacting with anyone face to face then his routine is to wake up, start the coffee and immediately roll into his 11-step skincare routine. He PAUSES this for a face mask and goes to make his coffee while running a bath. Then its a nice hour ish of relaxing in the bath, sipping coffee and scrolling through forums.

THEN when that's finished he finishes up his skin care, gets dressed and gets into his day.

If he's NOT meeting anyone then he just runs himself a bath and reads while having some tea.

---

Those who know me know I'm always writing or drawing FtM Izaya, and I stand by that. But he's also an any pronouns type bitch.

I don't really see him having any surgeries, like he COULD easily but he gives the vibe that he doesn't really trust doctors, except Shinra, but he also doesn't trust Shinra to give him top surgery in a sense. It's a bit complicated. But mainly he doesn't worry about any of that. It's irrelevant to him, specifically.

Also, that being said, I like to imagine part of his obsession with pissing off Shizuo is also sort of gender euphoric in a way.

It's fun to not be treated delicately! And so openly and forward too!!!

By extension, I think Shinra is also FtM and Shizuo is NB but has a full time job so he can't worry about that rn (full time job is trying to kill Izaya)

[forbidding-souda]

Hey hey mod Souda! How are you today? I hope you have a good day!

Bye bye!

— 🐭🌙

Teruteru Hanamura with a genderfluid S/O

Why the hell did this take me so long to do hello. Hello my love this one goes out to you. I miss you dearly. Mwah mwah

currently listening: love like blood by killing joke

-Mod Souda

❤ Ever since the two of you first met, you found yourself wondering his opinion on things. Not in the sense of apples vs. oranges, but more in relation to open-mindedness. He doesn't seem too bigoted. Maybe that sexualness he portrudes has no weight on his idea of sexuality and gender.

❤ Which, your theory was only proven the more you stuck around him in class. He was obviously very queer and god did it satisfy you.

❤ You liked him a lot, and the thought of being with somebody who would only label themselves attracted to one side of you is not a preferable situation. So, he seems like your match.

❤ It would be hypocritical if he was anti-gender-fluidity since he partook in multiple 'feminine' things (hair care, eyeliner, basic skincare whenever his sister is around for his birthday with those expensive little passive-aggresive gifts).

❤ He was attracted to you no matter what clothes you wore.

❤ He has always thought you were HELLA attractive.

❤ Other than bluntly flirting with you, he also tried to make you notice that you were different from his interactions with everyone else by trying to loosen his perverted nature towards other people whenever you were around. He didn't want you to think that you don't have his attention.

❤ You have his full attention and all of the time.

❤ Gives you cute little pet-names (some of which have the capability of annoying you) while pinching your cheeks.

❤ No one second guesses him being with somebody genderfluid because, in general, he can appear to be a fluid person as well.

❤ All of his friends will automatically be your friends so you don't have to worry about being unaccepted. His friends are generally very welcoming.

❤ If you do makeup, he will always request you do some on him.

❤ ^ He'll go on basking about it.

❤ He likes keeping multi-colored things in the house. He'll use a pink bathrobe else wear a cute pink apron (kiss the cook?) now that he fully understands that he is with somebody who can welcome the idea.

❤ He has always wanted his nails painted.

❤ And heart pancakes every morning ofc. Unless you don't like pancakes then wowww how dare you.

❤ Genderfluidity is something that he can adapt to easily. If you are still figuring things out then that's perfectly fine, it won't bother him or do anything negative in that sense at all.

❤ And ofc he'll refer to you as whatever you want to be called.

❤ Likes calling you sugar either way.

❤ When the two of you cuddle he loves moving around in his sleep and just claiming certain snuggle positions.

❤ ^ Snuggle is such an embarrassing word I am so sorry.

❤ If you kiss his forehead while he's sleeping he'll let out a cute little half-awake whine.

❤ I'll just say that you can not even explain the concept of genderfluidity to him and he'd just get it.

❤ ^ Like someone would ask him your gender and he'd be like "you know what... I never asked".

❤ Hey man if you're the type of person who likes buying their S/O clothing just know that he'll wear literally whatever you buy him.

❤ Omg cute couple matching onesies or something.

❤ OR CUTE MATCHING NECKLACES IF YOU WEAR NECKLACES.

❤ I think he'd absolutely love matching jewelery.

❤ I'm 100% his immediate family would like you too. His mama will love you no matter WHAT and I am so sure his siblings would at the very least respect you and comprehend your identity.

❤ If he ever is in the situation where he has to describe your identity to people he will do so in the most I-am-in-love-with-them-oh-my-god-why-are-they-so-perfect voice and the most dramatical facial expressions and a blush over his cheeks at the mere thought of you.

❤ "Omg I get to talk about them omg omg" ^

more boyfriend headcanons: love languages

↯ pairing: eren jaeger x (fem) reader

↯ genres and warnings: modern au, college au to some extent, fluff

↯ notes: i cannot stop thinking about him, so have 50 more head canons about this absolute menace. despite the title, he can and will turn anything into a love language, so beware.

annoying the hell out of you (quality time)

You’ve heard of girls sitting on their boyfriend’s laps and hugging them/falling asleep while they play games, now get ready for: boyfriends hugging you from the back while you attempt to do any mundane activity bc they miss you.

Because that’s Eren. About almost anything, because his physical affection, when not in the presence of other people, is absolutely on ten thousand and one.

The only public place he doesn’t mind cuddling up to you is the library. He doesn’t mind putting his arm around you or leaning his head on your shoulder, or even doing the sitting hugging thing in the library. Mostly because few people are there anyway.

Mind you, you’re the one who even showed him where the library was, and now he doesn’t know how to act. “Eren it’s not a ‘cuddling spot.’ It’s the library where I—and lots of other people, including yourself—go to do homework.” “If not cuddling spot, then why library chairs and study rooms cuddly?”

Particularly when it’s getting late and you’ve been crammed in the library for hours, and Eren just wants you to pack it up so he can drive you home. He’ll squeeze himself between your body and the back of your chair, wrap his arms around your stomach, and lay his cheek on your back.

Most times he falls asleep waiting for you to be finished. Sometimes he gets impatient and tickles you until you agree to leave. Either works for him.

He doesn’t not like holding hands in public, but it’s not his go to either. If you’re walking together, sometimes he’ll wrap his arm around your shoulder—usually after some cocky comment—or even walk behind you with his hands on your shoulders like it’s a two person conga line.

He doesn’t kiss you in public a lot, and never around his friends. They can see the literal hearts in his eyes when he’s around you though, so it’s not like he has to. On occasion, he will kiss your cheek. It’s kind of random, but you don’t question it.

In all honestly, whenever he gets affectionate or cuddly in public is all pretty random, even to him. Sometimes he’ll just be standing around you and he’s hit with the urge to engulf you in a hug and kiss your cheeks and he has to stop himself like, “....Why did I just think about doing that?”

Partially because he wasn’t outwardly hugged or shown affection a lot as a child, so sometimes he gets to urges children do to just want a hug. But he’s also pretty bad and/or new at processing his emotions like that so he mostly stands there like 🧍 looking at you with lovey dovey eyes instead.

Touchy when he’s drunk. But that’s not exclusive to you; anyone in a five foot radius of him will be subject to his arm slung around their shoulders, or him being slumped over their back, or random head ruffles.

Most commonly Armin, but I think we all knew that. Sometimes it’s Jean, and Jean is an even messier drunk, which results in the both of them actually being overly affectionate with each other in a strange, but endearing way. They both deny it to their graves when they’re sober, though.

Hovers around you. Constantly. Like a shadow. 

Does not leave you the hell alone when you’re in the kitchen. Will make it 100x more difficult for you to cook or just maneuver, which is ironic seeing as the most gourmet thing he can cook up is bagel with cream cheese. 

Sometimes Eren seems unaware of his size in comparison to you and your friends. It’s very sweet that he laughs with his whole body, but he’s got to realize that if bumps into you because of his sporadic laughter, that he might accidentally knock you into next Tuesday.

Likes when you touch his hair, doesn’t matter where or when, or who’s around. He loves it, all of it.

Will press his face against yours if he has stubble, just to be annoying. Like always.

If you hadn’t gotten it from everything else, he just likes to annoy you in general. But, like, affectionately. I keep saying it’s his love language and I mean it. Really—what it is is that he likes spending time with you, but he also likes annoying the hell out of you, too.

Bites. Not in a sexy way—well, unless you want him too—but, just because. Bites your shoulder when you’re not expecting it, bites your cheek while you’re in the middle of watching a show. Sometimes he takes your hand in his and your think it’s going to be sweet and he’s going to kiss it, but really he just brings it to his mouth to bite it.

Bites your ass, too. Again, just for fun. Because he thinks he can get away with it. Biting is a love language I’m telling y’all.

Likes to give you piggy back rides, even if you don’t ask for them or need one. You could be going from your room to the living room and Eren insists on carrying you there. 

And for some reason, he thinks that because he likes to hold/lift you, that that should apply to you as well?? Like he’s not 6′1 and big bodied, hello?? Eren you cannot just jump on top of people, you’re grown. 

He lets you dress him a lot. His fashion sense isn’t bad, and to be honest with you, I think he’d be a little bit of a hypebeast LOL. I don’t mean decked out head to toe in Supreme (god forbid...) but definitely has a bit of a sneaker obsession.

Not that he keeps them clean or is obsessive about creasing them he couldn’t care less. He just thinks they’re cool. Maybe even some accessories too, like those KAWS toys. Not a lot because they’re hard to get, but is really proud of his little growing collection.

But if you want to dress him up, he’s down for it. Would even let you buy him a pea coat so he can pretend to be a scholar. (He’s not BYE). He’ll tell you if something really isn’t his style, but he’ll wear it if you tell him he looks hot 🙄

Kinda forces his way into your life in little ways. Like, he’ll start adding his favorite snacks to your grocery lists. Moves a pair of your shoes from the door to make room for his own when he’s over. Basically claims two drawers for himself in your dresser. Annoying. Endearing.

Lowkey has his own intricate skincare routine, but he likes doing it with you more. He’ll make it a whole thing, and buy wine, and stupid drinking card games, and sit with you on your bed for 2 hours playing while your face masks dry. 

Texts you if you’re in the same room as him, but not paying attention to him. Especially if you’re doing schoolwork.

Throws pillows at you while you’re sitting at your desk to get your attention. He could just say your name, but it’s so much more fun this way (according to him anyway). It’s all fun and games until you smother him with one. 

Thinks arguing with you is cute, and sometimes says or does—or doesn’t do, for that matter—things just to incite an argument. Not a big one, or something serious, just petty things to rile you up so he can kiss and make up for it. For example, he’ll purposely putting the dishes in the wrong place, or hiding the remote from you, or putting his clothes in the wrong hamper.

“Eren, I swear to god, if you don’t stop putting the water bottles on the top shelf—” “What are you gonna do it about, pretty girl? Hit me with it? You can’t even reach—ow!”

being your loudest hype man (words of affirmation) 

The amount of pictures he has of you... criminal. From off-guards, to posed photos, to selfies, to screenshots, he has them all tucked away in a little folder with your name and a string of very inappropriate emojis after it.

Screenshots 90% of your snaps to him, even if his just of your eyebrows up. Sometimes because he thinks it’s funny, sometimes to save the picture because he likes it, but mostly because he knows you don’t understand WHY and that’s gives him the most satisfaction 😌

Loud and annoying in your comments on social media too. Hype man almost to a cringe fail level. He doesn’t care though, he has to let it be known. 

You could post a simple picture of you and Mikasa at lunch and Eren is in the comments screaming as per usual. @jaegerbomb: do i see TWO pretty best friends??? fuck it up besties 😫🥵🥵😜

GOD. HE WOULD RESPOND WITH “SO TRUE, BESTIE” TO ANYTHING ONCE HE LEARNS WHAT IT MEANS.

Oh, but he doesn’t take to it lightly when you call him bestie, or refer to him as your friend in any capacity. He’s your boyfriend, and would like to be labeled as such.

If you did that prank where you pick up the phone while you’re around him and say “Oh, I’m not too busy, I’m hanging with a friend right now,” he would pout about it for days. Days. Doesn’t get over it, and reminds you of your transgressions every two to three business weeks.

Tells you you look hot all the time, regardless of what you’re doing or wearing. He means it, too, genuinely, he thinks you’re hot. But he does get a kick out of how potentially embarrassed it makes you.

Tells you you’re smart and beautiful and his favorite person on the planet. He means it, always, even if the delivery isn’t romantic. Although, he would argue that telling you he would “tap that” is very romantic. 

for him: receiving gifts & words of affirmation

Eren would be really humbled and honored to receive a gift from you. He needs to receive physical affection, too—but something about you thinking about him enough to buy or make him a gift that he’ll love and cherish really hits home for him. He doesn’t have many people who would do that for him.

If you buy him anything, he’s using it the second it’s out of the wrapping paper. You buy him shoes? He’s wearing them the next day. A new case for his phone? Rips the old one off in an instant. A little trinket for his keychain? He can barely remember to carry his keys in the first place, but suddenly he can’t ever forget them now.

He just can’t get over the fact that you think about him and know him well enough to tailor your purchases to his liking. It’s almost an impossible concept to him, and really reassuring that you love him as much as he loves you.

On a similar note, he actually doesn’t mind couple items, as long as they’re not obvious and/or corny. Down to have a pair of matching hats or phone cases or even sneakers. You don’t even have to always/only wear them at the same time, just knowing you have the same thing at home kinda makes him feel fuzzy inside.

He also thinks it’s hot. He can’t explain why knowing his girl has the same kicks at him is hot, he just knows it is.

As much as he likes telling you how hot you are, Eren also likes to hear that you find him attractive—and that you like him, in general. For the most part, he gets that from your physical reciprocity and quite literally letting him hover around you like a fly, but it’s nice to be told with words every once in a while.

For as much as he knows it, he gets a little caught of guard whenever you tell him you love him. He knows you love him, but hearing it sometimes is a little surreal to him. Very reassuring, too, and everyone needs a little reassurance from time to time.

Alrightttt, I’m on a roll so we’re going onto chappy five 🥳🥳🥳😎😎

I know the movies made the Capitol — re: basically only Effie and maybe Caesar — have those ridiculous made up accents but .... I actually feel like the description of the Capitol accent in the book is supposed to be like the Kardashians or Paris Hilton’s voice. 🤷🏼‍♀️

“Why do these people speak in such a high pitch? Why do their jaws barely open when they talk? Why do the ends of their sentences go up as if they're asking a question? Odd vowels, clipped words, and always a hiss on the letter s. no wonder it's impossible not to mimic them.” Like this is a pretty good description of how Kim Kardashian and her sisters talk. And Suzzy C did say she was inspired by the juxtaposition between war news footage and ridiculous reality television shows so... I think my theory of the Capitol all talking like they’re on the Real Housewives of LA is pretty valid.

Just imagine Paris Hilton as Effie and Nicole Richie as one of her preps

Lolololol this whole section of waxing is reminding me to go get my legs waxed 😭😭😭 straight up calling me out here, Suzanne

I like how Katniss says her stylist “apparently has no interest in seeing her until the prep team has addressed obvious problems.” Like you can tell from her narration she was expecting to feel the same was about Cinna that she does about Effie and her prep team.

The “gritty loam that takes off dirt and three layers of skin” is probably just a strong exfoliator 😭😭😭 my girl knows nothing about quality skincare 🤧🤧 someone build a Panem Sephora

She mentioned them waxing her underarms.... girl, did you have hairy armpits before this? Idk why this revelation is new to me

“Grease her down!” Just sounds wrong 😅😅😅😅 I need to stop being annoying omg I’m like a twelve year old

Hmm it’s funny to me that Katniss refers to Octavia as plump. You’d think in a place like the Capitol body image and weight would be very important. Unless it’s like back in the old, old days when being overweight was a sign of wealth. Which would make more sense so this was an unnecessary thought process curtesy of Samantha

Katniss faking a smile and thanking her prep team shows she does know how to play the game and fake it better than she says.

So ... okay, hear me out, I’m not trying to get over the top or make this into something it’s not but ... the whole stylists / Cinna coming into the room and staring at her naked is a little weird. Especially considering Cinna isn’t Lenny Kravitz who’s like a bit older than her but actually like a twenty-something year old dude.

But okay, here’s the thing I was getting at ... Cinna’s one of the best people in this series and you can’t deny that. Even if you find him boring, he’s still one of Katniss’ closest people. Also he’s probably gay. But like ... what about the other stylists? I don’t wanna be that person who makes everything more than it is, but like, this scene just sounds like a perfect opportunity for some Capitol creep to assault a teenager idk I’m probably making a mountain out of a molehill just ignore Samantha okay.

That’s nice that he complimented her mama though 🥰🥰🥰

So Katniss calls District Twelve the least desirable district but ... doesn’t District Eleven suck too? Like she also later says District Twelve is the smallest and the poorest but doesn’t she also say Rue is worse off than her and Prim? Make up your mind, Suz.

Cinna claims he asked for District Twelve but did he really get an option? 😅 If it’s his first year and Katniss claims the newbies get them anyway 🤷🏼‍♀️ Samantha is once again, reading too much into this.

Awww, Katniss is thinking about how long it would take for her to assemble this fancy meal at home 🤧🤧🤧 it would take her days and the Capitol just has the necessary resources at their disposal and they just takes it for granted. And yes, I’m aware this is supposed to be calling all us readers out who take so much for granted I know. We’re the Capitol.

“How would I spend the hours I now commit to combing the woods for sustenance if it were so easy to come by?” It’s honestly so sad but so vital to her character that Katniss has zero hobbies or real free time. Her life is about surviving. She doesn’t get to live or enjoy very much of her time. She dedicates everything to keeping Prim — and her mother — alive, sacrificing everything a teenage girl should be doing. Sacrificing even the things the other girls in her world get to do. She mentions the merchant girls and the Seam girls who are more experienced romantically and sexually and socially than her. Because she doesn’t get to be a kid or innocent or even happy, in order to focus on her and her family’s survival. And the things she does enjoy, like spending time with Gale or dancing with Prim (mentioned in Mockingjay) she downplays in case they’re taken away, because nothing good is secure in her eyes. 🥺🥺🥺

Okay but what did Katniss’ facial expression give away that Cinna knew exactly what she was thinking? Or is she just less emotionless than she and Haymitch both claim? Ironically I think they’re the only people who call her emotionless which can easily be chalked up to their self-hate and terrible self-esteems.

Katniss is so afraid they’re gonna make her be naked for the parade 😭. Honestly though they’re children that’s so creepy that they’re even allowed to make 15/16/17 year olds be naked in a parade. I mean I know they kill kids every year but isn’t there like child pornography laws in Panem? 😭

“You’re not afraid of fire, are you, Katniss?” Is so foreshadowing 😭😂😅😎 Caesar Flickerman’s voice “Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire!”

Honestly though Cinna is smart to make Katniss recognizable in the arena by leaving her with simple makeup. I know and the sky is blue we all know this already beating the dead horses until the farmer comes home.

“It crosses my mind that Cinna's calm and normal demeanor masks a complete madman.” It’s true though 😅😅😅😭😭 he was always a rebel. I actually think he may have asked for District Twelve after Katniss volunteered, because he saw the potential in her. Poor Peeta. Baby, I’m rooting you for even if no one else is.

Also I always found it a bit .... curious? That Peeta had a female stylist and Katniss had a male one? Not just because of the required nudity, you’d just think men would do better as a boy’s stylist and a woman would make a better girl’s stylist. So yes, my whole Cinna was interested in District Twelve because Katniss seemed like a good symbol for a rebellion idea seems very plausible.

I know I know I know I read wayyy too much into this stuff sometimes a cigarette 🚬 is just a cigarette 🚬

Katniss being relieved when Peeta shows up 😭😭😭 because even if she won’t admit it and even if she won’t let herself trust him, she still sees him unconsciously and completely against her will as a comfort because they’re in this thing together in a way, even if they’re supposed to try and kill each other

And honestly, it’s such a like... relatable feeling? To feel alone and nervous and uptight and then someone who you recognize — even if you maybe aren’t even friends with but you at least know — shows up and you just instantly feel less alone. I’m totally looking at this through shipper goggles and I’m not even ashamed you all knew who’s blogging you were reading ight? 😂🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

“He should know about fire, being a baker's son and all.” And he’s gonna learn a lot more about it when he falls in love — for real, falls in love, not a childhood infatuation — with the girl on fire. 🥰🥰🥰

But also, I love this particular line on a reread because it totally is an indicator towards their future. Like Peeta knows about fire, he’s experienced with how to handle it, and later on, he becomes the only person who truly comes to understand Katniss, who represents fire, in a way that no one else could ever imagine.

Hmmm, Katniss’ point of view here, talking about how Portia and Peeta’s team seem all giddy and air-headed and it’s only Cinna who seems reserved makes me rethink my previous imaginings of Peeta’s stylist. Maybe she’s just a Capitolite idiot and nothing like Cinna. And my baby got a raw deal here then too. Good thing Haymitch loves him more. Just kidding 😅😅😅

But also I wanna know why Cinna is hesitant to accept congratulations for his and Portia’s idea? Wasn’t he at least lowkey excited about it when he pitched it a page ago?

Their horses are coal black 🐴 😅. I like that they went the whole nine yards with the theme. Nothing but the best for the kids on Death Row.

Aww Katniss asking Peeta what he thinks about being set on fire is so sweet and pure for some reason. I just find their commodore here cute ok

“I'll rip off your cape if you'll rip off mine” this is literally their first friend type of interaction and it’s so pure y’all leave me be I’m emotional for them

🙃 Also lowkey reminds me of “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.” Everyone look away ok I’m sorry

Peeta’s shady/annoyed Haymitch comment and Katniss’ joke at his expense 🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🥲🥲☺️🥲🥲 they’re bonding it’s so presh

“And suddenly we're both laughing.” I hope they laugh a lot together post-canon 🥲🥲🥲. If they can make the other laugh during their terrible circumstances, then they can make the other laugh anywhere. 🤧 Except in Thirteen because he’s hijacked and she’s certifiable and they’re both so used and abused and 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Okay I have to say, Suzanne Collins really builds up a lot for certain events and then just like grazes over the actual action of said event? Like she builds towards the tribute parade but then kind of rushes through off the actual event itself? It’s a common theme in her writing. And I don’t like it at all ngl.

Oh wait she doesn’t actually rush the parade events the paragraph before just looked like she was about to I jumped the gun 🤣😂🤭 but what I said is still completely true for many events in these books sorry not sorry

I’m definitely reading too much into it but the fact that District One — the favorite of the Capitol — gets snow white horses and District Twelve gets coal black horsies kind of ... seems to imply something .... 🤭

Cinna just lets out a sigh of relief “it worked” like ... way to fill your tributes with hope, dude. “Yeah, you’re totally safe, don’t be scared-OH THANK GOD THAT WORKED I wasn’t actually sure you wouldn’t blow up.” But actually this answers my previous inquiry about why he seemed hesitant I guess he wasn’t even sure this wouldn’t burn them up that’s nice 🤭🙃

It’s a literal trial by fire *cue drum hit* 🥁 aww, I just cracked myself up 😭

“Then he gently tucks a hand under my chin. "Remember, heads high. Smiles. They're going to love you!" This is caught halfway between being very Capitol-y and very father-brotherly and idk which way to take it but it’s kind of cute 🤭

“For the first time, I look at him and realize that ablaze with the fake flames, he is dazzling.” This is such a significant line because Katniss isn’t saying Peeta is technically good looking (like when Haymitch said they were decently attractive) or someone else thinks he’s good looking (i.e Gale, her mother and lowkey Finnick) but she’s saying she herself thinks he’s attractive. Girl, your crush is showing.

"I think he said for us to hold hands," says Peeta.” I’m sure Cinna actually did say that but this just seems like a very good opportunity for Peeta to hold the hand of the girl he has a massive crush on. 😭😭😭

Okay Cinna gave a thumbs up so he actually was saying that but can you imagine Peeta’s excitement right now?

I mean, yeahhhh, there’s the certain death looming over him too but like live in the moment, babe. 🥰😘🤗👌🏻

I like that Katniss says the crowd is at first like 😳😳😳 before they start cheering like they’re thinking “what are these backwoods, hillbilly kids doing this year?”

“At first, I'm frozen, but then I catch sight of us on a large television screen and am floored by how breathtaking we look. In the deepening twilight, the firelight illuminates our faces” okay they both have to be pretty naturally attractive people objectively, because you illuminate my face without much makeup and no one is gonna be cheering.

“Remember, heads high. Smiles. They're going to love you! I hear Cinna's voice in my head. I lift my chin a bit higher, put on my most winning smile, and wave with my free hand.” I wonder what the true difference is for Katniss between Cinna and Effie saying this to her? Maybe it’s that Effie is just outright mean to her sometimes whereas Cinna shows her nothing but kindness from the start and expresses sympathy and understanding? It’s probably that he’s already earning her trust versus Effie who’s just cruel I’m not over her comments on the train ok

“I'm glad now I have Peeta to clutch for balance, he is so steady, solid as a rock.” Right from the start, Katniss refers to Peeta as solid and steady. Idk, I feel like this is something that the movies really misses along the way. Katniss wasn’t always strong or confident at all and Peeta, at least publicly, exuded those qualities pretty well. Samantha’s complaining again ™️ 💁🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Also this is just outright foreshadowing how Peeta will eventually become her rock. Or that he will be soon painted a rock ... pick and choose which way you wanna go with this. 🤷🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️😅🤣

“As I gain confidence, I actually blow a few kisses to the crowd.” Okay, see I feel like Peeta really gives Katniss confidence in herself. If he’d been there in District Thirteen and they’d done propos together, she probably would have been a thousand times better.

But also this makes me think Katniss actually has it in her to be a charismatic, confident, alluring celebrity. She just chooses not to. 🤗🤗🤗

But this also reminds me of “She has no idea the effect she can have” okay imma move on and stop focusing on every little detail

I say that every chapter 🤧😅

“The pounding music, the cheers, the admiration work their way into my blood, and I can't suppress my excitement.” Say whatever you want, Katniss is still such a girl underneath it all. She gets excited over people liking her and cheering her on. And I know it’s because it increases her chances of getting sponsors but still

Honestly Peeta trying to showcase Katniss and let her take the spotlight is so selfless and indicative of his ultimate plan to help her win but also ... I can see how Katniss would believe it’s too good to be true and he’s messing with her. That he’s just playing the game to earn her trust, get her guard down and manipulate her later.

See, Peeta is actually framed at the start like the typical, standard YA love interest turned villain. In majority of YA books, at this point the boy is kind and sweet and helpful to the girl until she trusts him completely and then he turns on her and uses everything she gave him to destroy her. But the difference is, Katniss refuses to truly trust him and she is guessing his game incorrectly at every step. And then it’s revealed that it was never a game and he truly isn’t messing with her and everything he’s done that’s seem too good to be true and not even remotely plausible has actually been genuine and heartfelt and that, my friends, is why Peeta is above all other YA love interests. Because Everlark is actually the foil to many of the cliches. That was a long speech over some incoherent thoughts I’m so sorry if you suffered through that.

“It's not until we enter the City Circle that I realize I must have completely stopped the circulation in Peeta's hand. That's how tightly I've been holding it.” Awww he is her rock 😭🤧🥺

"No, don't let go of me," he says. The firelight flickers off his blue eyes. "Please. I might fall out of this thing." Okay this part is so cute and so blatantly setting Peeta up as her main love interest omg 😅 this isn’t the least bit subtle or disguised. But first off, the fact that Katniss is also Peeta’s stability here too 😭😭😭 and second of all, she takes time to notice his blue eyes against the firelight? She was attracted to him from the very start, y’all. That’s indisputable. 👌🏻😎🤧

“It's not really fair to present us as a team and then lock us into the arena to kill each other.” I agree with you, baby, it’s not fair at all. But you two take care of that situation nicely. Or not. Y’all do start a dang war. 🤭🤭🙃🙃

It’s rather ... ironic that it’s District Twelve’s chariot of them all that is pulled up and stopped directly in front of President Snow’s mansion. I know it’s a book, certain details like this are definitively contrived, I know get over it. 🤦🏼‍♀️💁🏼‍♀️

So uh. Snow is a small thin man? Why do I suddenly imagine Danny Devito as Snow 😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 y’all know he’d kill the role

“The darker it becomes, the more difficult it is to take your eyes off our flickering.” Okay, this is such a great line and it’s so significant to the rest of the series? The fact that Katniss — and Peeta, let’s not forget our boy — became symbols of the revolution. Like this line is deep if you think about it. The worse things in Panem got, the more the civilians looked towards Katniss and Peeta for hope 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰

Omg now after Songbirds and Snakes, we know the national anthem. I’m sorry, babies, that you have to endure that I’ll get you out of there 🙉🙉🙉

I feel like in part, the Capitol camera crew — Cressida, Pollux .... Pollux’s brother... is that you here???? — put so much attention on District Twelve because it would create some resentment and competition between them and the careers 🤭🤗

“I notice a lot of the other tributes are shooting us dirty looks, which confirms what I've suspected, we've literally outshone them all.” Insert Gretchen Wieners “I can’t help that I’m popular!” 😅😅😅😅😅

“I realize I'm still glued to Peeta and force my stiff fingers to open. We both massage our hands.” — they were hanging on so tight 😭😭😭😭

“Thanks for keeping hold of me.” He’s so sweet ☺️☺️☺️ I love him even if he’s kind of an idiot sometimes but so is Katniss so let’s not point fingers

“I'm sure they didn't notice anything but you. [...] And then he gives me a smile that seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness” Omg I know Katniss views this as him trying to manipulate her but the fact that he’s actually just admitting the way he’s felt for years is so 😭😭😭😭 if only you’d spit it out sooner, Bready

“he gives me a smile that seems so genuinely sweet with just the right touch of shyness that unexpected warmth rushes through me.” She literally has a crush on her fellow tribute and her first line of defense is to decide he out to get her for making her feel this way 🤣😭🙃

“The more likable he is, the more deadly he is.” The more my crush grows, the more deadly he becomes. I know I’m reading this with shipper goggles but guess what? I’m unashamed. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ who feels guilty for reading this book with an Everlark bias not this girl right here 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

“I stand on tiptoe and kiss his cheek. Right on his bruise.” Okay first off, she says cheek here but according to a chapter ago, she claimed the mark was on his jaw... so in other words, she’s incredibly short. If a medium height guy has a bruise on his jaw and she has to stand on her tip toe to reach it... well... hashtag LittleKatniss

And second off.... can you even imagine how Peeta must feel. He genuinely complimented her here, the girl he has had a crush on forever, and she responds by kissing his cheek. He was probably really happy at this moment. And also this probably played further into his buying into her false display in the arena. That here we have her clutching his hand, smiling and laughing with him and kissing his cheek. Idk what I was trying to say necessarily but I made myself sad wow way to go me 🥺🥺🥺🥺🤧🤧🤧

Anyways! Those are my very over the top and too detailed thoughts! Hope you enjoyed if you read this! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😎😎😎😎😎😎😎🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Take it out on me Part 12

A/N: hi so this is the last chapter. We made it to the end. I hope you guys have enjoyed this story as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I decided that even if you guys don’t necessarily want further little imagines/stories about their lives after this I’m still gonna do it because I’m not done with it yet lol.

I also have an Alex Tuch story on the way soon and a Mikko Rantanen one as well. They probably won’t be full series but there’ll be something. 

Anyhoo enjoy the last chapter. Sorry it’s a little bit shorter than the rest I just couldn’t expand it really without making it seem too drawn out.

“Well Ziggy..” I said leaning over to pick up my little brown bunny. “We’ve got some troubles now. I don’t even know how this happened.”

I walked back into the living room and sat down with Ziggy on my chest. I sat there for hours just petting and baby talking to my rabbit. I couldn’t think of anything else to do so I just sat there. I guess you could say I was in shock. It was dark out by the time Freddie got back home and I was still laying there with the bunny.

“Hi baby, what’s up?” he asked kissing my face.

“Nothing, I’ve just been laying here with Ziggy for a while.”

“I’m glad that you enjoy having her so much.”

“She’s my pretty girl and I love her.” I said to Freddie before slipping back into my baby talk voice. “That’s right I love you so much honey. My baby.”

“You’re so cute.” he said laughing and kissing my head. “Have you eaten dinner yet?”

“No I was waiting for you. Plus I haven’t been feeling the greatest today.”

“Oh no how come?”

“I dunno. Just not good. Auston had another interview today trying to do damage control from that video from the airport.”

“Oh god..”

“Basically said that I was awful to him all the time and would cheat on him constantly.”

“You should do an interview somehow. Maybe make a youtube video or something? I don’t know I just want everyone to stop being so cruel towards you.” 

“I guess I could probably make a brief video about it. It couldn’t make it worse. And I’ve got more proof of things Auston has done than things he claims I’ve done.”

“I really think you should. You don’t have to share everything, just enough to make people be quiet.” he sat beside the couch and rested his head on my stomach while he started petting the bunny too.

“I’ll do it tomorrow after I go see the doctor.”

“Why are you going to the doctor?”

“It’s just a follow up on some tests I had a while ago. Don’t worry about it baby, I’m okay.”

“Do you want me to come with you?” he asked looking at me with concern in his eyes.

“You don’t have to.”

“Do you want me to?”

“Yes.”

“Okay then I’m coming.”

“I’m sorry..I’m still just so used to having to be brave and do everything by myself.”

“We’re a team cutie. I’m here for whatever you need and I know you’re doing the same for me. That’s how adult relationships work.”

“I love you so much Freddie.”

“I love you.” he smiled at me before getting up and grabbing the bunny.

“Hey where are you bringing her?”

“To her cage. I ordered us some food and I want to cuddle with you until it gets here. You’ve been cuddling Ziggy for hours I know it.” he said laughing and smuggling up behind me on the couch so we were spooning.

“I’m going to fall asleep like this for sure.” I said giggling.

“If you do I’m eating both of our food.”

“Don’t you fucking do it.”

“But I’m starving.”

“Then you should’ve ordered more food. Besides you’d never eat my food anyway.”

“How do you know?”

“You always get so worried about me when I don’t eat, you’d never make it so I didn’t have food to eat.”

“You caught me there.” he mumbled kissing the back of my neck.

The rest of the night was very quiet. I didn’t feel like talking much but that was okay. Freddie was always really good and secure about me just keeping to myself. He didn’t constantly think I was mad at him when I was quiet like Auston did and I really appreciated that since I didn’t like talking a lot. I was a very quiet and shy person so silence was just a nice comfortable thing for me and the fact that I could have that and still be around the one I love without him yelling at me was incredible to me. We watched a little bit of Law & Order:SVU before going to bed for the night.

When we woke up, we had a very normal morning. He showered while I washed my face and did the most basic skincare. Once we were both done in the bathroom we got dressed which was always interesting because we both had a habit of just wanting the other person to stay as unclothed as possible. It always took forever but we managed to leave the house at the right time to get to my appointment without being late. Once we got there and I got registered we sat down together in the waiting room.

“So what’s this appointment about?”

“I’ve had some blood-work done and an ultrasound and a few other tests a couple weeks ago. Just getting the results back.”

“I hope everything is okay.”

“I’m sure it is, love.” I said resting my head on his shoulder and holding his hand. “If I wasn’t okay they would have called me back in much sooner.”

“I guess that makes sense.”

“I could have gallstones again or something. That’s what they were checking for with the ultrasound.”

“So what would happen with that?”

“It would depend how big they are and stuff. Maybe nothing, maybe remove the gallbladder? It would really depend but it doesn’t feel the same so  I don’t really know. We’ll just have to wait and see.”

“I guess so.”

“I’m not dying Freddie.”

“Promise?” he asked smiling holding his pinky out to me. I locked mine with his laughing.

“Promise.”

Soon enough my name was being called and we walked back with the nurse. She took some information while I sat on the bed. Freddie sat on the chair and looked really serious and worried.

“Freddie, love, I’m okay.”

“I’m just nervous about what he’s going to say. Because if they haven’t found anything then what?”

“Just don’t think about that. If they haven’t found something bad then it’s good news. Stop worrying. It’s okay.”

“Hi (Y/N), how are you doing today?” my doctor said coming into the room.

“I’m okay, how are you?”

“I’m good. Who is this?”

“This is my boyfriend, Freddie.”

“Oh well nice to meet you Freddie.”

“You too.” he said politely.

“So the test results came in. This is going to be a fairly quick appointment because all I have to do is give results and see what you want to do about them.”

“Alright sounds good.”

“Okay so all the tests we did came back conclusive with the same answer..” what she said didn’t really register in my mind at all. Everything was going in slow motion while I sat there and watched Freddie leave the room and slam the door. “(Y/N) lay down.”

“Freddie..”

“It’s okay he’s out in the parking lot. Just lay down before you fall and hurt yourself.” she pushed my shoulders getting to lay down.

“How did this happen..? You put me on pills to stop this from happening.”

“There’s no trace in your blood at all of the pills (Y/N). So you weren’t taking them recently.”

“I was. I’ve been taking them every day.”

“I don’t know what to tell you. Is it possible someone might have messed with your medication?”

“Yes. There’s absolutely a possibility of that.” I was seeing red but I finished the appointment and made another one for a month later. I left the office and got into the car with Freddie.

“Freddie..?” I asked cautiously. “Can we please talk..?”

“How did this happen?”

“I think you know how it happened.”

“How long?”

“In the middle of allstar break.”

“Fuck..Is this it then? Are you going back?” he asked with a tear in his eye.

“Freddie don’t cry. I’m not going anywhere. You’re not listening. It didn’t happen before or after the break. It happened during the break. During.” I said slowly watching his face change.

“Oh! Wait so what you’re saying..”

“Oh my god Freddie it’s yours.” I said laughing. “I’m pregnant with your baby.”

“No way..” he said with a big smile on his face.

“Yes way.” I tried to kiss him but we were both smiling too big for it to really work.

“How far along does that make you then?”

“About two and a half months.”

“I want to go home and celebrate.”

“How do you want to celebrate Freddie?”

“However you want to.”

“Can we celebrate with bowling and ice cream?” I asked with a smile.

“I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate.” he kissed my hand and started driving.

prologue

What happened before Hogwarts…

Mila, unlike her older brother, was never one to shy away from people or try to blend. She wanted all eyes on her and everybody’s attention, she was also very loud. At any gatherings Theodore held, Mila wanted to be right in the center of it all which usually lead to her being sent to bed not too long after. Mila didn’t seem to know what an “inside voice” was especially when she was very young, yelling was just her normal volume. It was as if she was a direct contrast to Nikolai which wasn’t a bad thing but it was different than what Theodore and Mariana were used to. 

When Mila was around seven, that was when she’d begin to sneak into Theodore’s study and attempt to read all of the big books he had sitting on his shelves. She barely understood a word of it, of course. The words were too big and confusing but Theodore always promised her that one day he’d let her read everything he had once she was old enough. Around this time Mila really started to bond with her father, she loved her mother and brother too - of course. But she really was glued to her father’s side until she went to Hogwarts. She was practically under his feet where ever he went. Mila and Nikolai were never particularly close but there wasn’t any sense of a rivalry. They were just into different things at the time. It was pretty rare to actually see them hanging out when they were younger. However, that doesn’t mean that she completely left him alone she would often try to stick her nose into whatever he was doing just so she knew what he was up to.

years at hogwarts

first year

Sorted into: Ravenclaw Best subject: Transfiguration Favorite subject: History of Magic Worst subject: Herbology Least favorite subject: Flying Quidditch: She went to all of the games that Ravenclaw played in because she felt like she had to but was dreadfully bored during all of the games.  Christmas holiday: Went home, she missed her parents like crazy. Other: Mila was heartbroken that she wasn’t sorted into the same house as her brother but she did make it her mission to stalk him out at any time she could. She knew he preferred to be “alone” but obviously, sisters don’t count.

second year

Best subject: Transfiguration and Charms Favorite subject: Potions Worst subject: Herbology Least favorite subject: Herbology  Quidditch: She didn’t try out and had no interest in the sport at the time, she’d show up for some games to show her support for Ravenclaw but would’ve rather been in her dorm. Christmas holiday: Went home. Other: Began bonding with her fellow Ravenclaw students more and had a few friends but she didn’t consider them to be “close”. She more or less just spoke to them so she wouldn’t have to sit alone at lunch, she was still upset she wasn’t in Slytherin.

third year

Elective subjects: Arithmancy and Study of Ancient Runes Best subject: Transfiguration, Charms, and Arithmancy Favorite subject: Study of Ancient Runes Worst subject: Astronomy Least favorite subject: Herbology  Quidditch: She went to about three games, max. Around this time, Mila stopped pretending that she was interested in quidditch and would only go if she was absolutely begged. Hogsmeade: She went with a few of her Ravenclaw buddies and had her first butterbeer, she did end up ditching her Ravenclaw friends for her new Slytherin ones. Christmas holiday: Went home. Other: This was the first year her brother didn’t come home with her and she was livid, she of course didn’t know what her older brother was going through so she took it a little too personally. She didn’t talk to him until her birthday the next month which was the longest she had gone without talking to him. 

fourth year

Best subject: Study of Ancient Runes and Charms Favorite subject: Transfiguration Worst subject: Herbology and Astronomy Least favorite subject: Herbology Quidditch: She completely stopped showing up for quidditch games by this point, unless it was an important game even then she’d ditch early. She wasn’t concerned with pretending to like the stupid game anymore. Hogsmeade: Mila went with her Slytherin friends and a few Ravenclaw ones, she spent most of her time and money at Honeydukes then the group of them went to the Three Broomsticks before they left and had a butterbeer. Christmas holiday: Went home. Other: Mila and Nikolai began getting closer around this time, they weren’t exactly joined at the hip or anything but they hung out if they both had free time. There weren’t any deep conversations, usually them just sitting in silence and enjoying each other’s company. She was also absolutely terrified about what she had been hearing about the Death Eater attacks. Theodore didn’t tell her he was involved with the Death Eaters at this time.

fifth year

Best subject: Study of Ancient Runes, Charms, and Transfiguration Favorite subject: Charms and Arithmancy Worst subject: Herbology Least favorite subject: Herbology and Astronomy Quidditch: Didn’t go to any games at all her fifth year, she usually took this time to catch up on her school work or go sneaking around with her boyfriend at the time. Hogsmead: She went with a mixed group of friends from Ravenclaw and Slytherin, also with her boyfriend at the time. She had her first date at Madam Puddifoot’s teashop which was absolutely dreamy to her at the time. She went to Honeydukes after and then finished the day at the Three Broomsticks. Christmas holiday: Went home. Other: During her fifth year was when her relationship with Nik really blossomed but she couldn’t help but be disappointed since this was his last year at Hogwarts. But she really tried to see him every chance she got when she had free time. Mila still wasn’t told about her father’s involvement with the Death Eaters at this time.

Hogsmeade: She went with a group of her friends and definitely ignored Madam Puddifoot’s since she was broken up with by her boyfriend at the time. However, she did go to the Shrieking Shack with her friends and ended up hexing him when she saw him with another girl. She got detention for two weeks for that but she thought it was worth it.

epilogue

What happened after Hogwarts…

Once Mila left Hogwarts she got the Dark Mark like her brother. She knew that if the Nott’s were going to rise back up, all of them needed to be on the same page. While she was living at home, she was definitely struggling to find a job. She didn’t really know what she was qualified to do but she also didn’t want to be stuck in a job she hated or worse, behind a desk doing paperwork. Boring. Which was how she ended up as a Curse Breaker which definitely wasn’t a job that Mila had ever considered before. But she discovered that she really liked it and it also got her to work on her spells, especially her non-verbal ones. Mila lived at home until only last year since she was saving up her money to get a place of her own.

Her home is very ...modest but it’s her own and that’s what mattered to her. Even though she was always close with her parents (her dad more than her mom), she didn’t really make the time to visit them as much as she thought. On the rare occasion she would visit home, she always felt this need to do more and be better. She had to do more to try and get the Nott’s reputation restored, she had to be a better Death Eater but also better in her career. Since her father couldn’t remind her of this everyday since they were no longer under the same roof, it felt as if he had to drill it into her head as soon as she walked in through the door. Although Mila wasn’t really sure what else she could do, she was pushing herself as hard as she could.

Since she threw herself pretty much head first into her career and her life with the Death Eaters, she never really had much time for friends. She’d usually end up bailing on gatherings with her old friends from school or just flat out ignoring them. But Mila always had time for a little romance, even though the last serious relationship she had was when she was a fifth year. Having a nice man or woman (only men if you’re her parents) take her out and treat her to an expensive meal always lifted her spirits after working hard, especially the after dinner entertainment. Mila has little to no social life outside of that and she swears up and down that it doesn’t bother her but - of course it does. After seeing how her father treated her brother for being “weak”, she would rather die with the weight of the world on her shoulders than tell anyone she needs help.

Intro &&/ Riley Kim ♕

( Brian Kang, cismale ) hey ! have you seen RILEY KIM around ? HE works as an ESTHETICIAN at big bear resort, but they must be off their shift by now. well, if you do see them can you let me know ? they’re 25 years old & they’ve been working here for TWO YEARS. they tend to be +PLAYFUL & +CARING, but can also be -DRAMATIC & -FORGETFUL. the other employees have labeled them THE DRAMA KING. thanks a lot ! ( fingers in soft hair, post-it notes on a mirror, aromatic candles in a minimalist room & paragraph long text messages ) [Backy, 25, MST, She/Her]

Hey friends! My name is Backy and this is my brand new muse Riley ★ Let’s get started, shall we? 

♕ The Basics ♕

★ Full Name: Seyeon “Riley” Kim ★ Age: 25 ★ Birthday: December 19 ★ Languages: English, Korean, minimal Japanese & French  ★ Education: Certified esthetician & nail technician  ★ Occupation: part-time esthetician @ Arabelle Spa, full-time drama king  ★ Hobbies: Guitar, snowboarding, singing, shenanigans, chaos 

♕ The In-Depth ♕

★ MBTI: ENFP ★ Blood type: B+ ★ Zodiac: Sagittarius  ★ Sexuality: Bisexual ★ Drinking, smoking, drugs: Yes, yes, yes (all socially)  ★ Talent claim / Faceclaim: Brian Kang ★ Likes: Fashion, working, his face, stargazing, candles, small animals, coffee (black), being dramatic, cuddling, napping, spicy food, alt. & rock music.  ★ Dislikes: Nit-picky clients, being cold, an empty bed, overly sugary food, children, itchy sweaters, crocs, being ignored, & country music. 

♕ The Personality ♕

★ Playful: Riley is spontaneous and like most, he enjoys having a good time around the people he likes. Hardly says no to anything and is always joyful and happy - unless he starts being dramatic of course (usually in good fun). Sasses with a smile and jokes around - sometimes at the expense of others, never at the expense of himself. Will turn around insults in a heartbeat and rarely actually takes things personaly (despite what he says). He’s too full of himself to do it and likes to praise himself with a joking tone (probably started as a joke but he actually believes it now).  ★ Caring: Despite being full of himself and having a generally pompous attitude, Riley does actually care about his friends and is always reliable to be a strong shoulder to cry on when things get serious. He has infinite comfort items (the life of a spa worker) and always knows how to make someone feel better. He gives good hugs and always has snacks on hand for such occasions, even if he dramatically hands them over like you’ve taken his kidney. Riley secretly loves doting on other people, even if he’s the one demanding attention most of the time. He likes to think he’s good at giving advice and is definitely good at keeping secrets (mostly because he keeps forgetting what people have told him). 

★ Dramatic: Dramatic might as well be his middle name. It’s his thing. We’re not talking your run of the mill gossipy drama, he doesn’t care much about that. What he does care about is how dropping his coffee is the end of the world or how he’ll die if he doesn’t get his hands on a burger right this damn minute. Also, get your ass over here and cuddle him or he swears he’ll explode. Everything is a show and the show must go on. Was probably a theatre kid in his past life. Although not his original intentions, he can’t deny the fact that it also gets him a fair amount of attention (good or bad, he doesn’t really care) and has been known to use it to his advantage.  ★ Forgetful: Not only forgetful, but also leaves his things everywhere. Someone should ducktape his valuables to him. The only thing he manages to consistently keep on him is his phone. How else can he take selfies or send paragraph-long text messages about how cruel the world is? Once found his keys in the fridge and a packet of ketchup in his pocket and frequently “loses” his wallet when drinking at the bar. Has post-its on hand always to write things down. He’s not your typical idiot, he has common sense, just lacks the brain cells associated with memory. Reliable in the here and now but will probably forget if you ask for a favor and can’t be expected to remember small details. He frequently mixes up names and forgets the order of events. Did it happen yesterday or two years ago? It doesn’t matter he already forgot. 

♕ The History ♕

★ o1. Riley grew up in your average Korean household with a smattering of siblings, only moving to the states in his late teens. He’s been attending, and now working at, the resort for many years and it has since become his home. He used to avidly snowboard at the resort when his family spent time there and he enjoyed most of the activities the place had to offer. Although young, excited, and learning the ways of being dramatic, he found himself spending more and more time at the spa questioning the ladies on skincare and other beauty-related tips. Even now, he’s never felt like it was really that feminine of a thing. Gender norms be damned, when you look like your best self you also feel it too. 

★ o2.  Although his parents were the ever-loving and doting type, they were strictly traditional and life was wholly unexciting. Cue the dramatics. Riley wasn’t just interested in the spa, but also every aspect that came along with beauty and self-care. He wanted to learn it all. Of course, his parents weren’t exactly supportive of his decision but he made absolutely sure to put in the right amount of pouting and speeches to make them come around and get his ticket to an esthetician school. Besides, he had an older sibling taking over the family company and his parents had the funds to toss at his hobbies, even if it was just to shut him up. His only regret is taking so long to learn that being dramatic has a certain pull on people.  ★ o3. It wasn’t that Riley ended up on bad terms with his parents or anything. He just doesn’t find the excitement in living simply or following societal rules. As soon as he finished school he got the work experience and eventually became a renowned esthetician and beautician. Despite being a drama king, he was exceptionally talented at getting people to relax and giving beauty advice to clients so he took that opportunity and ran with it. As soon as the job opening at the resort opened, Riley wasted no time in applying and laying on the charm to get it. He still visits his family on occasion and they can be seen around the resort from time to time. 

★ o4. These days, Riley can mostly be found working at the spa but has also recently taken up guitar and singing to occupy himself when he’s bored. Though not into snowboarding as much as he used to be, he still takes the odd spin on the slopes in his free time (he kind of hates the cold though, go figure). He manages to turn off the dramatics long enough to do his job and actually quite enjoys it since he can dote on his clients and make people feel like their best selves on the outside, but on the inside too. Besides, even though he’s giving his attention to the clients, they may or may not give him a little attention in return.  

♕ The Wanted Connections ♕

★ Ducktape. - Someone who stops him from forgetting things. Has to remind him about basic things like putting on shoes before leaving the house or straight up taping everything to him so he doesn’t leave it somewhere. His metaphorical and literal ducktape.  Taken By Ian (Kit) ★ Vibe Check. - Someone who not only handles his dramatic ass but also knows how to take him down a notch when he needs it. Reminds him to chill tf out because tbh he’s extra always. Taken by Aylie (Hailz) ★ BFFL. - Someone who’s equally as chaotic or even more so than he is. Drama level over 9000. Like adding rocket fuel to fire.  Taken by Leo (Miki)  ★ The Confidant. - Someone he can spill his secrets to. He’s generally an open book but doesn’t always openly say how he’s feeling either, just about his experiences. Someone he actually talks about emotions to even if it’s not mutual or a friendly type of relationship.  Taken by Cleo (Jocey) ★ Platonic Cuddles. - He might be kind of a hoe but he also just really likes cuddles and hugs. He has infinite comfort items so come abuse them. No one is safe tbh ★ Friends. - Open to multiple of all types (unlikely, one-sided, childhood, mom, etc.). Taken by Callie (Simran), Ivan (Jude), Ian (Kit), Aylie (Hailz), Charlotte (Diana), Rumor (Hannah), Marco (Dana), Roman (Iris)  ★ Flings, Hookups, FWBs. - Open to multiple. Taken by Leo (Miki)  ★ Romance. - A hoe, but now a hoe with feelings. Potentially open to multiple and different types (one-sided, crush, hookups with feels, etc.). Taken by Leo (Miki // Endgame), Charlotte? (Diana // Tinder match), Wren (Reed // Flirty enemies) ★ Enemies. - Riley is dramatic but not to the point he’s actually mad about something. It would take a lot to make him your actual enemy but I’m open to suggestions or different types! Taken by Jo (Jude), Wren (Reed // Flirty enemies) ★ Family. - Open to multiple with appropriate fcs (siblings, cousins, etc.). 

And that’s it!! If you got this far kudos. Looking forward to plotting with everyone. Drop me a DM on discord or like up this post and I’ll get back to you.  Cheers! 

[happypledis]

Not to be rude cause i like Ren, but it looks like he had ps? (Once again, it doesnt really matter) Cause he looks so different from before, his face got chubbier? His nose and eye shape also seem different...might be just me though

Hi!

First off, I personally don’t think of plastic surgery as a bad thing. If someone did it, great. If they didn’t, also great. The only time I’m against it is if a company forces it/the surgeon doesn’t have proper qualifications (we’ve all heard horror stories).

I personally don’t really care either way, but I have thought about it, because I too would like to be as pretty as Choi Minki lol. A lot of kpop fans think he has done PS, but there’s honestly a lot of reasons besides PS that could have changed his appearance.

I wouldn’t rule it out honestly, but at the same time, Ren does work extremely hard on his appearance (even though he’s already perfect so he doesn’t need to??). He has amazing skin, and I think he uses one of those facial rollers a lot? He has talked about his routine sometimes.

A surgery for health or for vocal improvement could have possibly changed the shape. But I’m not sure. I believe he could have had his nose operated on for one of these non-cosmetic reasons, because if you listen to his voice at debut and then after (when people claim his nose changed), you hear a lot, lot less nasality in his voice. Here is a post talking about how nasality affects voices. Nasality is very hard to get rid of, it takes dedicated training and teachers, and I don’t think he had the time to get rid of it through practice alone. That’s why I think he had some sort of procedure done either for health or something that was done to lessen his nasality–so we can’t prove it was a cosmetic thing only.

It also could be that he got fillers, which can easily get rid of bumps, and is quick with a super short recovery time. One type is even called a “five minute nose job.” Check out this video: youtube.com/watch?v=Yz7k0Hory-I. After I watched this video, I began to realize that most idol nose jobs likely come from this sort of thing. Articles say people can return to work the next day, and the bruising can be hidden by makeup. Normal procedures take more time to heal from and are harder to cover. They only need to be refilled every 8-12 months, too, so it’s not that bad of a time commitment. This procedure is basically just a person’s normal nose, just reshaped with a little filler to fit the person’s ideal aesthetic.

His eyeshape? Hm, I don’t really see a difference there, I think it’s just thick makeup like he had in the past during past eras makes an eye smaller, and his makeup now is focused on brightening/making a more glowy appearance, so it is lighter and makes his eyes appear bigger.

Lastly, I think he’s less “chubby” now. He has a tighter face (if that makes sense) since he did at debut. Probably this came from diet and avoiding anything that leads to puffiness/certain skincare prodcuts. Idols talk a lot about avoiding puffiness (Baekho for example once said something like, ‘I cried the day before a concert and my face got puffy so I ate less to avoid it showing the next day,’ etc.).

All things aside, Ren really looks to me like he did when he was a baby. If you search his baby photos, he really, really resembles them, to me. A lot of photos people are comparing him with are from when he was 16, which makes the results unclear–he changed a lot from puberty. (However someone could just as easily make that same puberty claim against what I’m saying for his baby pictures. idk though, I’m 19 and look more like myself when I was a baby than when i was going through puberty–luckily omg, those were dark days.)

Like I said, I can’t 100% rule it out because I do see some difference in his nose, but I also think there’s a lot of factors involved. There’s even more procedures out there that are nonsurgical, like facial acupuncture to tighten skin, and whatnot, that I didn’t even mention, either.

Regardless, Ren is seriously such an aesthetically pleasing person lol?? and I love him and his personality. If he did or if he didn’t, I’ll always love and support him, and plastic surgery is not negative or shameful so I don’t care too much either way. I know the length of this post looks suspiciously against that last sentence, but I’ve been a fan of Nu’est since 2016 so I’ve thought about this (whenever I see the accusations) for 2 years so hopefully that explains it lol.

We see it all the time in movies women who aren sure just need to be convinced, and then she realize that she actually does want to fuck this guy, or she actually can be worn down by the nerdy yet endearing guy and they end up together, but that just not the case in real life. It why the "yes means yes, and anything else is no" talk is important. When someone is unsure, it means you should just stop. That is the point, that explosive growth was not represented in the Ottoman Empire. The GDP growth did not change but by $50USD between 1600 1700 or 1800, it stayed almost completely the same. My argument is he ignores this period of stagnation, only focusing right before WWI. It's not always the content of the message, but the tone, that we consider when making moderation decisions. "Legitimacy" doesn't change the fact that the wording could be kinder, and respect the fact that the OP felt confident enough to share about their skincare and their journey. Or provide resources for the community, in the case of swatches.. Yeah the problem is that this doesn seem to work. People both turn out more right wing. (the dark side it tempting I guess), and well if you get enough right wingers (or worse) in a speech zone it pushed out leftwing people. Growth serums have to be applied continuously to see the results, otherwise the growth returns to normal. RapidLash recommends applying every night for 4 months, then dropping to a maintenance dose after that. However, I don want to take any chances, so I use it every night even though it been probably 8 months 구례출장샵 since I started. Although Amazon Prime Music has less music than Amazon Music, it also has the J pop. Overall, Spotify is easier to browse through, and it is better at giving recommendations. So, I prefer Spotify over Amazon Music. What people seem to be refusing to understand is that Rowling never claimed to have originally written Hermione as black. She only said there no reason Hermione couldn be played by a black actress, because all the characteristics that were relevant 구례출장샵 to her character (frizzy hair and such) would make sense for a black woman to have. It would make sense in the story if Hermione had been a black girl and it wouldn effect the story negatively in any way, so why shouldn a black girl be able to play her if she the best casting choice besides not having the same skin colour? That all Rowling ever said.. It is also not okay in the slightest for them to lay her care at your feet when they are gone. This again is their responsibility, especially if you are unwilling. They may have to account for her long term care in their will so that you are not required to provide it.. And so begins the scoot game. I scoot over, he scoots over. It gets to the point where I on my side half off the goddamn mattress. All you have to do is feed it and make it comfortable and give it a rub behind the ears and it content. Consequently these people are often the most irresponsible pet owners. They allow their cats and dogs out unsupervised to wreak havoc on the neighborhood and they often hoard animals. Thanks so much for posting this. My order has only been in since around Christmas, so I can imagine the frustration you feeling if you been waiting to hear something since November! I really hope that they reevaluating how they run their business right now, even if they not expressing it to customers. My order is pretty big because the sale was so good and I completely new to the brand, so I fine with waiting a month or so, but two months would be unreasonable, indie or not.

The word "Ayurveda" in Sanskrit: आयुर्वेद, Āyurveda, meaning knowledge of life and longevity. So when people bless saying ‘दीर्घायुषी भव।’ (dīrghāyuṣī bhava।) it means to let you be in union with all the above factors for a long time! A long time ago, our sages noted the fact that people are becoming greedy, getting diseases, and are not happy compared to what they were in the past. Some sages went in search of a remedy to cure diseases, make people remain healthy and happy. When they went to Lord Indra, he preached the knowledge of Ayurveda to the sages, who then preached the same to their students and so on, so forth. From there on, the saga of Ayurveda started, for the sole purpose of the betterment of humankind.

AYURVEDA IS ALL ABOUT

Ayurveda works on the body doshas. In Ayurveda texts, Doṣa balance is emphasized, and suppressing natural urges is considered unhealthy and claimed to lead to illness. Ayurveda treatises describe three elemental doṣas viz. vāta, pitta and Kapha, and state that balance (Skt. sāmyatva) of the doṣas results in health, while imbalance (viṣamatva) results in disease. Ayurveda treatises divide medicine into eight canonical components. Ancient Ayurveda texts also taught surgical techniques, including rhinoplasty, kidney stone extractions, sutures, and the extraction of foreign objects. And this theory of Ayurveda helps to choose Ayurveda products over chemical-based ones.

How do you think Onision would react if he were to be officially diagnosed with a personality disorder like npd?

Hmm, I don’t know. It’s an interesting question, though, so I’m going to try and analyze all of the different possibilities.

I want to lean towards the explanation that he would refuse to acknowledge it altogether, and write off the diagnostician as being a quack, or as wanting to sabotage him or just simply not understanding him well enough. There are some narcissists out there who are self-aware (Sam Vaknin being, obviously, the most famous one), but for the most part narcissists will refuse to acknowledge the validity of a diagnosis like NPD because of the fact that it challenges their perception of themselves as flawless and all-powerful. (It’s a very similar reason as why narcissists will often refuse to indulge in drug use (to the point of hating even casual drug users), and put a lot of effort into maintaining a healthy diet, a good skincare routine, etc - they want to avoid damaging their shrine-like body. And in that same sense, a diagnosis like NPD would, I think, feel to them as though it were a weakness, damaging their mind or at least their perception of themselves.) Their under-developed sense of self would soundly reject the premise altogether.

Then again, Onision does have one peculiarity that makes me think he actually would accept a diagnosis of NPD (or some other cluster B personality disorder), and that is his deep-seeded obsession with labels, definitions, and categorizations. We’ve all seen this trait in him - it presents itself as him being so rigidly black and white about morality (”If you break the law, then you’re a criminal, and criminals are bad people”; “If you do drugs, then you’re a druggie, and I hope you die of an overose”), and very literal in the way that he interprets jokes, despite claiming to himself be a comedian (such as when Blaire White made a very obviously sarcastic joke about Greg and his followers having an IQ of -6, which Greg tried to debunk using a Google search to “prove” that it’s impossible to have an IQ in a negative range). You can also observe this linguistic and interpersonal rigidity when he does things like, for example, argue with people he’s debating with over the definition of a word. He’s done this in every debate I’ve ever seen him participate in (Blaire White, Jaclyn Glenn, and Joy Sparkle BS, among others), but I remember once instance in particular where he tried to dispute Blaire White’s use of the word “collect” to describe himself within the context of having “collected” pictures of underage girls in order to put in his videos. Instead of arguing the broader picture or the underlying concept (the morality of his actions, which exists in a grey area and doesn’t have a clear-cut right or wrong answer, and so therefore he struggles with it), he tried to discredit Blaire’s entire argument by disputing the definition of the word “collect” itself.

The fact that he is so obsessed with categorical classifications makes me wonder whether he wouldn’t actually enjoy being given an “official label” like narcissistic personality disorder. After all, he did once “admit” to having (or thinking he had, anyway) borderline personality disorder, in a message that he left on Adrienne’s phone. That makes me think perhaps he really wouldn’t mind being labeled; however, in that context, he was clearly trying to use the label to gain something for himself (sympathy from Adrienne, and trying to reignite her desire to help him). There’s really no way that Greg would be able to spin NPD as being a good thing, or a thing that made him worthy of sympathy, especially in the face of his bullying, abusive, and manipulative tactics. 

Another interesting thing to take into account is that there is a certain subset of narcissists (and psychopaths) who not only accept and acknowledge their diagnosis, but who actually regard it as a positive trait. They see themselves as superior, as the next phase of human evolution - like X-Men, they are gaining powers that far surpass the abilities and skills of regular human beings (or, more accurately, leaving behind certain traits which are useless and unnecessary; namely, empathy). So it’s interesting to consider whether or not Greg, in the same position, could try to spin a diagnosis of this sort as him receiving an official acknowledgement from the medical community of his uniqueness and superiority. 

Ultimately, I’m not really sure which one of these possibilities is the most viable, but I figured I’d talk all the options through anyway for your consideration. Hopefully you find this helpful. =] Personally, I lean slightly towards the explanation of Greg just point-blank denying that there’s anything wrong with him - after all, while self-aware narcissists do exist, they are exceedingly rare, and the vast majority of them have a tendency to blame external events (partners, children, friends, the government, the Internet, YouTube, the law, bad luck, etc) for their own negative consequences; and Greg wouldn’t be able to blame everything wrong with his life on pewdiepie, Billie, and his fans anymore if he accepted that he’s just your run-of-the-mill narcissist. 

(Side note, and I could be wrong about this, but I think you may have asked me a question about Lainey about a week ago, and I answered kind of rudely (might be thinking of somebody else, though?). If it was you, then I apologize - it was about 6 AM when I answered your question and my response came off as very curt, tactless, and rude-sounding. I’ve been thinking about it ever since, but I couldn’t remember what your username was so I could apologize. =( If this was you, I’m sorry! And if not, well.. hopefully the person who asked me will see this and know that I feel bad about it.)

Fine and Dandy

In a sea of neutral earth tones and shades of gray, Ivorian-born Louis Philippe de Gagoue stands out like a sharply dressed, color-blocked sore thumb—just the way he likes it

Dressing in loud colors is intimidating for a lot of people. But for Côte d’Ivoire-based stylist and fashion photographer Louis Philippe de Gagoue, every hue in the spectrum is fair game, providing inspiration for both his personal style and fashion editorials. Be they in solid colors or eccentric prints, his clothes tell a narrative—they are literal costumes that reflect his mood or help him depict a fashion story. “For me, style is like cinema. I can’t play the same role every day. It needs to be a new character every time,” he says. A reflection as well of his sense of humor, his eclectic style ranges from an all-black ensemble accessorized with vivid pops of color to full-blown pastels in classic tailored silhouettes.

For all his blood orange suits and salmon pink bow ties, de Gagoue self-identifies as a minimalist. Through his compelling Instagram feeds (@louisphilippedegagoue) he also shows that every piece he puts on needs to play a part. It seems like a complicated and tedious process, but he claims it never takes him more than three minutes to assemble an outfit. Here, he talks champagne, vintage finds, and the city of Paris.

On menswear

Menswear now is more experimental and bold than just classic ready-to-wear, and I really like it.

On his wardrobe essentials

A vinyl blazer by Thierry Mugler in the ’80s, a Burberry coat, J.M. Weston boots, and a bomber jacket by Yassine Morabite, a young Moroccan designer.

On Fall/Winter 2016 trends

I liked the concept dresses seen on Comme des Garçons and Junya Watanabe, the vinyl coats by Raf Simons, Margiela, and Loewe, and the ’80s reprise by J.W. Anderson and Moschino.

On favorite designers

Juun J, ’80s Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana, Kris Van Assche, Walter van Beirendonck, Afterhomework Paris, the list goes on.

On his city

I moved to Côte d’Ivoire five months ago—Abidjan is so inspiring. People really like partying and dancing. I could be walking down the streets and be inspired and discover new faces for my editorials. The colors, the backdrops, and the architecture are so dope. 

On his luggage

I would love to be the kind of person who goes around with a backpack, but I’m not at all a light traveler. I always bring several shoes and a lot of clothes. It’s better to have too much than not enough.

On his career

I’ve always been fascinated by my family’s old pictures and the sense of grace they exude. To me, fashion is a form of utopia—an escape from a world that is eaten up by war and conflict. I am an aesthete and I really like to express myself and give my points of view. I became a stylist and a photographer because I have stories to tell that transport people into my universe. Styling and photography are a way of making my dreams tangible though clothes, backdrops, and photography. I love that I get to express myself through photos and styling, to externalize and share my vision through a time-tested medium.

On collaborations

I was recently in Italy and collaborated with a makeup artist named Grazia Carbone, whose work I really loved, and Iva Varvarchuk and Chiara Pino, models from Euphoria Fashion Agency in Rome.

On his creative process

In general, I can be inspired by a place, a collection, a face, a makeup look… it can come from anywhere. Then, I develop the concept with ideas and more tangible elements to give life to the characters of the story.

On the African fashion industry

I think people have to break cultural and gender barriers and be more experimental, like what Asian designers have been doing for years now.

On his favorite drink

Champagne. It makes me smile. I can start drinking champagne early in the morning. I’m not alcoholic, by the way.

On his Parisian hideouts

Restaurants: La Belle Époque on the Rue des Petits Champs, Nanashi near Carreau du Temple district, and Favela Chic. Cafés: Café de Flore, La Coupe d’Or, le R.U.C. Shopping: Thanx God I’m a VIP, the temple of luxury vintage finds. Clubs: Silencio, La Mano, Les Bains Paris

On skincare

For me and my skin type, natural products are what work best. I use argan oil and shea butter and a mask made from avocados, argan oil, and a bit of lemon zest.

On favorite musicians

The music I listen to in general is very diverse; I love dancing to different music genres. Lately though, I’ve been listening to a lot of Tommy Genesis, Unicorn Kids, FKA Twigs, The Cure, M.I.A., and Rihanna.
