Sho's kind, reasonably so. Leo knows this. Sho also has an infinite store of deeply repressed anger. Leo also knows this. It's the reason he's in Vagastrom, after all. A deep, roiling anger that seems to eat at him if he doesn't have an appropriate outlet to balance his mood. That's why he's such a good cook, why he's so good at fighting, why he's got an excellent sense of balance and rides his bike smoother than anyone else he knew. He's using these things as outlets for his anger. It's not Leo's fault that the occasional outing to trick and deceive another sexually repressed rich old man for money is something else Sho seems to derive stress relief from. And it's not Leo's fault that Sho continues to stick around with him after those jobs are done. It's never been a problem for either of them, as far as he can tell. At least, there were no problems until Little Miss Inspector showed up.

Suddenly, Sho didn't want to lie anymore. Suddenly, Sho wanted to go as far as to address you with the proper honorifics, ask for your help with setting up his food truck, and even generally spend time with you outside of that. And for what? Some trembling, scared, pathetic girl that knew nothing of the world of anomalies prior to her curse? Some girl doomed to "die" in less than one year, no less? He couldn't understand the kindness Sho showed you. It made no sense, nor any difference. You'd be dead soon, so what did it matter?

It's got to the point where he's begun to randomly put you down with petty insults and biting remarks. They usually consist of things like "Oh my god, even preschoolers know Anomalous Biological Basics! Come on Inspector, is your head screwed on right? Not even the Captain is this stupid." or "You remember your ability is useless when we need it, right? You'd be nothing more than a burden on missions if you can't even control this power. " or even "God, you're such a basic loser. Can't you find something else to do with your free time instead hang around Sho like a lovesick puppy? You're starting to look like that dog that's always around Kagami." and worse insults. He gets the occasional sidelong disapproving glance from Alan or even a slight furrowed brow from Sho, but it didn't matter to Leo. So long as he could slowly plant seeds of doubt in his fellow ghouls and put you down to satisfy his ego, even an odd look was negligible.

He couldn't even stand looking at you. The uniform they'd chosen for you was awful, didn't even highlight your curves. He hated the way you styled your hair, and always thought he could totally do it better. The way you seemed so relaxed around other ghouls pissed him off, why couldn't he be good company? He found you repulsive, unable to resist glaring at you from the corner of his eye whenever he could. He had to get rid of you somehow. He would never admit to feeling threatened by you; instead choosing to focus all that energy into believing you were simply throwing a wrench into his plans to live an easy, get-away-with-anything university life.

It's all come to a head today. Leo thinks he's had enough of seeing you at the food truck after hours, chatting it up with Sho. It's like he can't even catch this guy alone anymore. Before he knows it, he's made a beeline for the truck. His brand new shoes scuff on the brick path in his rush, and eventually begin to stain green on the grass, his brisk stride tearing through the verdant lawn. He tries not to let his anger show on his face, but it's evident in his posture and pace. He forcefully sidles himself into the conversation, leaning on the service counter next to you, not even waiting for you to finish speaking before he pipes up. "Wow, here again, huh? And here I thought a basic bitch like you would know her place! That mouth of yours must be good for something if he keeps a chatterbox like you around."

The chill settles into the air almost immediately despite his candid tone and relaxed, smug smile. He's so focused on your reaction that he hardly notices the look Sho gives him, twisted with displeasure and confusion. He watches as you visibly falter, your lopsided smile fading into a barely-there frown. He stares, unrepentant, laughing internally. This was the reaction he wanted.

He turns towards Sho and raises an eyebrow at his look. "What? She can take it." Sho's expression visibly wavers, and Leo fully expects him to back down, as he usually does. But instead, Sho turns to you and his face grows pale. Leo rolls his eyes, assuming Sho is totally overreacting, and turns to you. He stiffens at your visible tears. Okay, totally not what he expected, but come on. This was the insult that made you cry?

Leo notices Sho is at your side in record speed, wrapping an arm around your shoulders, and gently drawing your hunched form away, giving Leo a harsh look. Leo simply scoffs. As far as he was concerned, your reaction was pathetic. It wasn't going to stop him from having any fun.

This. Under no circumstances should this hurt. At all.

Leo had noticed you'd been avoiding him. You would slink away if he so much as entered the same room as you. You wouldn't look him in the eyes if he approached, keeping your expression impassive. Sometimes you'd just outright ignore him. It was beginning to become a bit of a nuisance. He couldn't properly mock you if you weren't there to witness it happening, or didn't give him the reaction he wanted. It was odd. When he faced these feelings head-on, it almost felt like he wanted your attention somehow, even if he didn't quite want it to feel like that. A nagging feeling told him that maybe he went too far with his latest insult. He didn't want to admit that, but something told him he did. It was in the way both you and Sho acted around him.

Sho was missing a lot of Leo's calls lately, sometimes not even bothering to call back. Leo partially understood, what with the food truck business booming and all, but he didn't appreciate being made to wait for his own best friend who's usually at his beck and call. Not to mention the flat, terse responses he would get from Sho more often than not nowadays. Leo knew Sho was miffed with him from last week's incident, but as far as Leo was concerned, things still ended in his favor. He hadn't seen you around Sho much anymore, which means he could go back to how things were. No more pesky little honor student to reign upon his days any longer! Sure, there was the biting underlying feeling that maybe he'd screwed things up, but one ride on the back of Sho's motorcycle, going wherever Leo wanted as per usual, and he was living the dream again. No way everything would change over a silly, insignificant insult.

For a short while, he begins to get bolder, openly mocking you when he does come across you. His originally surface-level remarks become rather personal, even using your eventual death as a way to tease you. From "You know, I'm surprised you haven't done anything to change up that unflattering look, considering you're dying soon. Ever considered dressing up a little? You might get some attention before you die." to "Hey, Little Miss Inspector! With the number of men you talk to around campus, I'm surprised nobody's written you off as a whore yet!", and worse, of course. He continues to get no such reaction out of you, and it frustrates him to no end. Why couldn't you just frown? Shrink away? Or even retort something just as scathing back to him? Your lack of entertainment towards his endless ridicule reduced his motivation, and slowly, it ended up dying off. Soon, he left you alone altogether, not talking to you unless necessary, mimicking your actions. In a way, some part of him hopes maybe this will be what gets your attention. Even if he can't quite admit to himself that your attention, regardless of whether it's positive or negative, is what he wants.

It's late, but Vagastrom students don't go to bed until far later. And Leo needs a favor.

His crushing lack of success in garnering any sort of attention or reaction or rise from you had driven him to a point. He didn't want to apologize to you or anything, but this new habit of you ignoring him was beginning to stoke his displeasure. In his pondering, he remembered how easily Sho captured your gaze and wondered if maybe he'd have any idea of what Leo could do to at least put an end to this stalemate.

Leo's reluctance shows in the way he drags his feet on the path to Sho's room, less than eager to confront him for his opinion on something so shamelessly trivial. Why was he wasting his time with this anyway? Surprisingly, the lack of a solid answer to that question did not stop his trek. A twinge in his chest told him he knew exactly why he was "wasting his time".

In the month it had been since he'd made you cry, the nagging feeling had only gotten harsher. His mind kept flickering back to the shock of your tears and how he'd not bothered to consider it much further. An uncomfortable guilt had made itself known starting then. He never really expected you to cry; he just wanted a mild reaction. He wanted your eyes on him, flashing with anger, just for a moment. Your ire was a saccharine pill laced with ecstasy that he'd gladly crush with his teeth to speed up his high. Maybe it'd be too much to say he got off on it, but he enjoyed the way you used to roll your eyes at any comments from him a little more than he cared to admit. Now, he wouldn't even get that. It'd be rare for you to so much as make fleeting eye contact with him, not that something as small as that would be enough for Leo. Part of him was willing to accept that maybe, he'd gone too far. Maybe. But how else was he supposed to monopolize your attention when you give that out so freely? To his best friend, even?

He didn't know it was possible to covet something so terribly. He found himself wondering why he couldn't catch your attention in the same way as the other ghouls? In his quest for the same attention you gave so freely to the kinder, softer ghouls, he found another version of your attention. It was negative, but it was attention nonetheless. Your sweet, honeyed rage seemed to fill his cravings and then some, so he continued to devour it under the guise of "chasing you away" or "putting you down" or "satisfying his ego". In truth, for whatever reason, there was a rather bothersome and persistent envious longing, a covet, for your attention. Leo wants to vomit. A part of him denies it still, pushing his needless feelings to the back of his brain. He had something to do, and he ought to focus on that. What good would mere wallowing do?

He makes it to Sho's room and almost considers turning back. He stares at the door, his expression morphing into a complicated look. He shifted his feet, his slippers sliding against the floor. It was quite clear he really did not want to do this. At all. He sighs and grumbles indignantly, putting his head in his hands in an attempt to gather some courage. This couldn't be that hard, right? Just in, ask Sho a question, get an answer, then out. The only reason this was easier said than done was just because it could potentially show Leo was capable of feeling remorse, which would make this conversation leagues harder than it needed to be. He shakes his head and straightens up, preparing to knock, when he notices something.

Sho's room was... unusually quiet. Usually, Leo almost always heard some loud music or a cooking show running in the background, but he couldn't hear anything this time. Sho couldn't possibly be asleep. As late as it was, the only person who Leo knew for a fact could stay up past him was Sho, regardless of how much sleep he had gotten. There was no chance Sho was asleep. Believe it or not, Leo doesn't like to spy on Sho. But curiosity overwhelms him. What could he possibly be doing that would render the whole room in silence?

"Haxs," he whispers, listening closely.

The first thing he hears is the cling-clanging of Alan hard at work on a car in the garage. Not the sound he was meant to be focusing on. Then he hears endless jeering and loud insults shouted, though they're all muffled like they're underground. Another pit fight? Still, not the sound he's looking for. He sifts through the sounds he hears before he settles on the one coming directly from Sho's room.

Voices. Groaning, strained voices. The sound of wet skin against wet skin. Panting. Sho's panting, specifically. He could tell by the slight nasally tone of it.

Leo felt his face gradually warm. Christ, of course it'd be this he'd be up to. Leo muffles a laugh into the collar of his pajamas, keeping his hand clamped over his mouth as his body shook with mirth. When he finally calms down, he slinks off to the corner down the hall, and hides himself there, shamelessly still listening to it. Sho's a sly dog. Leo certainly didn't expect him to be getting up to anything this soon. He leans his body against the wall, crossing his arms and drumming his fingers on his arm, waiting for Sho to finish. He smirks to himself, as though enjoying the vocal show.

...

He had to admit, whoever he was with had gorgeous moans. He'd have to ask Sho if he'd be willing to pass this girl's number. He could use a couple things to get his mind off of you.

...

Okay, he had to stop listening to this now. He lifts his stigma and holds his hands over his ears for good measure, partially trying to hide the furious red blush across his face. As pretty as that girl's moans were, he was not going to listen to his best friend's climax. No thanks. He huffs out an impatient breath as his cheeks cool down, leaning his back against the wall, leaning his head back until it hit the wall with a dull thump. Now he just had to wait it out. He knew damn well Sho would never let a girl stay over. He'd never hear the end of it from yours truly, Leo.

Leo's right. It isn't long before he hears the door to Sho's room click, and hears murmured voices travel down the hall. He smirks, rushing down the hall in the opposite way, so it doesn't look like he was listening the whole time. He listens, waiting for a cue of some sort.

"Shame you have to go, you know." Sho's voice. Laced with relief, pleasure, and a thick tiredness. Leo's skin crawled. He could practically feel the smile in Sho's voice.

"It's not so bad." The girl responded with a light and playful tone, her voice seemingly much more put together than Sho's despite all that moaning. The voice sounded oddly familiar, but Leo brushed it off. Must be someone he shares classes with. "I've got things to do anyway. But it was nice to spend some time with you, Sho." Eagh. Leo internally hopes this girl isn't the type to get easily attached.

"...Yeah. Same to you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Finally, he heard the girl's footsteps trailing down the hall, heading in his direction. Leo hurriedly pulls his phone out of his pocket, making sure the screen was bright as he flipped through the latest trends. He made a point of not looking up until he heard the footsteps nearing him.

He looks up, prepared for a simple glance, but ends up being rooted to the spot.

It was you. Of course, it was you. Who else would be taunting enough?

Despite himself, his gaze remains glued to you, his head turning as you walk past him. For a moment, Leo thinks you're just going to ignore him again. Then, suddenly, your gaze meets his in a flash, and he stiffens, almost out of fear. The way your eyebrows crease and the way your lips twitch downward almost makes him salivate. You were clearly displeased to see him. Even so, he notices you don't slow down, continuing your way down the hall, not bothering to crane your neck to look at him.

Leo remains rooted to the spot, watching your figure as you leave. His jaw hangs open slightly, his chest heaving with shocked breaths. His eyes are wide open, pools of gold reflecting your retreating form. His hand trembles as he holds his phone, the latest trends left neglected in the wake of a single mean-spirited glance from you. He feels his heart pound mercilessly in his chest, as though confirming what he'd tried so desperately to deny.

All at once, anger and arousal seem to grip him simultaneously. Anger at himself for feeling arousal from a mere negative glance from you. He couldn't possibly have craved your attention so viscerally he'd happily accept mere scraps. And yet here he was, a lap dog, watching you as you leave as though silently begging for another glance, another chance to watch your eyes burn with that familiar, delicious anger, another meal to satisfy his starved heart.

For a moment, he would have gladly followed you, and pestered you to death, just to irk you and become a willing victim of your wrath. Anything... just for that attention.

a/n: wow. no stop why am i kind of in shock at the poetic lines i kinda think i did a great job! but 4 whatever reason it's always the writing i think was total shit that does actual numbers *sob*

EDIT: I FORGOTTT QUICK EXPLAINATION: im assuming everyone knows pavlov's dog and the whole classical conditioning theory. this story is basically that mixed with the mere-exposure effect.

neutral stimulus: mc's presence

natural response: leo's arousal/excitement

response-producing stimulus: mc's anger

mere-exposure effect: psychological effect in which a like or dislike of things is developed merely due 2 familiarity.

i’m on a rewatch of desperate housewives so i bring to you.

the time rockstar eddie was on house arrest

when he & NB are still hate fucking, he’d gotten into some drug fuelled bar brawl and on condition of his bail had to stay on house arrest until the hearing.

NB came over to see him and he was in an awful mood and just deliberately pissing her off so she just got up mid conversation and walked out the front door.

He follows her, asking where the fuck she thinks shes going and just when shes out of reach (aka, he can’t cross the threshold because his ankle alarm with alert the cops) she says she’s going to see his rival because ‘at least he can fuck her right’ (is she? who knows, she just wants to piss him off)

It takes every ounce of self restraint NOT to break his house arrest. Has a full blown tantrum like Leo in Wolf of Wallstreet.

rockstar!eddie under house arrest after something insanely stupid???? definitely fits lol.

her family definitely got the judge to do that over prison. maybe after he gets caught with drugs??? he has to stay home after his rehab, under house arrest to make sure he'll stay sober.

she can go out ofc, and he gets so incredibly moody and hateful when she does bc "i'm stuck in this fuckin' house and you just leave me?"

"yeah, maybe you'll learn your lesson."

and it just escalates. they've been fighting on and off, bickering little matches that bubble over.

"you know what? if you're going to be mean to me, i'm going to hang out with someone who will be nice. who will appreciate my company." a huffy sneer, snatching her purse. "i'll tell malcolm you said hi."

and he's going nuclear. "the fuck you will, get back here!" and he nearly breaks house arrest, she's standing at the end of the driveway, just a step from it, arms crossed.

"do not. do you hear me? do not even fuckin' think about it. get back in here."

and she ignores him, leaving him standing there, blowing a kiss out the window.

insert tantrum on the front lawn, a full blown meltdown. kicking shit and cursing and just stewing in his own misery.

then he calms down and is phoning nb because "you didn't- i know i've fucked up here lately, but you're not really going to do that? are you?"

i hate him. i hate him and i love him.

[SF Rasey - cause we were talking about it ;3;]

The rain was heavy as it poured down, Casey snarling as he grumbled to himself, hair wet and sticking to his face as he slid the manhole cover into place. Kicked out again by his dickhead of a father, and not wanting to be washed away in the sudden storm, he had retreated to the sewers in hopes of finding somewhere to sleep.

It was dark, outside of the few dim lights that held onto the wall, most likely put up for workers to see what they're doing. Casey sat himself beneath one, weighing out the few options he had right now. But he doesn't get much time to think of what he needs to do, as footsteps grow close. He's quick on his feet, having no idea what to expect - but some guy in a green costume was not it. Casey huffed, anger getting the better for him as he snapped out,

"Great, jus' what I fuckin' need, some guy in a frog costume to mess with me!"

He's angry, he wants to fight, but he's so damn tired,

"If ya gonna mug me be quick 'bout it woul' ya, already had to deal with my father an' I aint in the mood to deal with ya!"

| Muse Interaction

Raphael huffed as he walked through the sewers, told he should take a breath and whatever else. To cool down or whatever. He groaned and kicked at some can that found it's way into the tunnels.

"Stupid can!" he barks as if it was the can's fault for what had happened. Making his way over to it once it roll into a sudden stop he stomped down on to it. He always felt so ganged up on, all because he reacted so strongly so everyone saw him in the wrong he guesses. Compared to Leo who always seemed to keep his clam so everyone always, ALWAYS side with him instead. Listening to how the aluminum of the can seemed to submit under the force of his foot easily become flat under the pressure. Raph stood over it letting his shoulders lift and drop as he took in deep heavy breaths trying his best to relax but taking it all out on this can wasn't helping.

Eyes lifting up as he scanned the tunnel he was in, he was little too far from home as is but there was nothing else for him take it out on. His fingers were twitching. He was so frustrating and heated if he turned back home he might aim to deck Leo again. Hell anyone that got to close like Mikey or Donnie. Least he had enough sense to know that would be wrong of him. Pushing the now flat can out from under his foot as it fucked off to who knows where. Raph continued on his 'stroll' he still needed to work it out of his system. Not like he was going to go to the surface or anything so nothing for Splinter to worry about. Looking around for anything else he could maybe break or bust up to help get this out of his system. Rounding the corner though he caught sight of why exactly Splinter wouldn't want him to venture to the surface.

There was a human down here. Why was there a human down here it was late, any workers wouldn't be around? Looking them over a moment though? Curiosity got the better of him as he moved a bit close. This human, didn't look like the ones they have seen before down here. This one looks like a kid? So then why is a kid in the sewers? Don't matter he needs to turn back around before they notice him. Raphael didn't need to make things worse for himself after all. But before he could even act on that thought the human moved up to his feet. On instinct Raphael moved into a fighting stance. Legs crouching and fist ready as he tightly curled in his fingers towards the palms of his hands. Teeth bared and eyes narrowing, Something about how the human huffed though was odd, they weren't scared?

"Great, jus' what I fuckin' need, some guy in a frog costume to mess with me!"

Raph maybe shouldn't care they assumed he was in some costume, if anything he should just play along with with that saving grace if anything. But a frog? "I aint not frog dumb ass they don' got shells!" He felt the need to correct them. Wondering if this was why everyone always corrected him when he got something so obviously wrong.

"If ya gonna mug me be quick 'bout it woul' ya, already had to deal with my father an' I aint in the mood to deal with ya!"

Raph slightly chills out when they continue on to speak. Or maybe what they mentioned just caught his attention. "Well it ain't 'ike I wanna deal with a idiot who can' tell the difference between a a costumed frog and an actual turtle!" It would have been clever to use the costume bit yes but Raphael wasn't in the mindset to go along with that given excuse. Was annoying enough to be called a frog and now they thought he was some sort of thief? "Ain't my fault ya out here when 'm jus' walkin' I live here unlike yous!" Raphael felt the need to point out. Blame it on the fight with Leo but he didn't care for someone else to go out and act like he was somehow the only one in the wrong here. "So if I wanna walk around after bein' chewed out enough by my oh do great older brother, guess what?! I'm gonna got it!"

Raph huffs himself slowly moving out from his more offense stance, it was pretty clear this human wasn't looking to fight after all. But still wasn't it weird for this kid to be down in the sewers? They didn't seem to have anything on them either, beside if getting mugged seemed more like an inconvince? He wasn't looking g to fight but this damn human was the last thing he wanted to put up with anyway. What If Splinter found out?

What if Splinter finds out. Great.

"Ain't 'ike it your home so why don' ya shove off ya humans already got enough up there! Don' need to start crawling around down here 'ike some damn roach." But if he came off as threatening maybe they leave.

Raphael had to admit her was curious on what that statement from before meant. They already dealt with their farther, and that led them down into the sewers? Something seems werid about that. Yeah sure Splinter told Raphael he should go out and take a breather, but he's smart enough to see this isn't the fact for this guy. "Know what actually." Moving over and sitting down now " I had enough of my brother tellin' me what todo do I aint lettin' some stupid human who shouldn' be here in forst place tellin' me shit too!" Stubbornness on display as he sits down instead of leaving. Leo was always on his damn case he don't need some human telli g him shit either. "So guess deal or deal with ya father I aint moving."

Thoughts on the ROTTMNT movie:

oh wow i relate to the autistic coded genius techie what a surprise

oh wow i relate to the protective parent friend of the group what a surprise

No but seriously Donnie’s humor is on point

“Data collection makes me feel better” MOOD???

“‘I feel better already,’ he said without a hint of sarcasm” NO BUT THIS IS MY HUMOR

The Leo vs Raph final fight was the best “i know you’re in there” speech i’ve ever seen. Hands down

Because it wasn’t about “i know the real you is still in there!!1!1!1” it was about him apologizing and that he finally understood what made him tick

We stan April O’Neil btw

Splinter’s humor is also on point, that line about being a psycho with no character development? PEAK.

Out of order, but Casey’s bit about how the Leo from the past/present was a disappointment was the absolute kick in the nuts his character needed. 10/10 well done

I really like watching the mystic powers (its just magic) and how it was animated!! Like seriously, the portals and the hulk form and everything

there was ONE poop joke and that FAR exceeded my expectations

Narrative weight??? In a NINJA TURTLES movie???? I never woulda guessed

wait a fuckin minute the portal power turtle’s in outer space, he can come back from this HE FUCKING BETTER

me???? attached to a NINJA TURTLES MOVIE???? i never woulda guessed

FUCK YEAH HE LIVES

“Eww are we in Staten Island” WHAT IS THEIR BEEF WITH STATEN ISLAND I NEED TO KNOW

guess im watching the show now

I’m like a bajillion years late to the party, but y’all go watch the teenage mutant ninja turtles movie it’s hilarious

[imsinkingtodeephelp]

Guess who’s back for more that’s right autistic Aziraphale and autistic Crowley hc’s part 2 bc i’m still a thirsty bitch for the representation I hardly get so I gotta make my own:’) (+more hcs as well)

(All of these that involve a little storyline and/or dialogue takes place after the Not-apocalype unless stated otherwise)

-Aziraphale has vv poor motor skills

-”*talking to Crowley* Hang on dear boy I’ve almost got it I just-”

-”Aziraphale you’ve dropped the wine bottle 23 times now just give it to me before it breaks.”

-Crowley has a speech impediment and especially has trouble with “ch” (am i putting this mostly bc i also have a speech impediment and have trouble with “ch” bc of it?? yea)

-Crowley: “I’m so glad The Anticrist didn’t turn out to be satan incarnate.”

Anathema: “??? I’m sorry The What??”

Crowley: “Anticrist.”

Anathema: “Don’t you mean The Antichrist?”

Crowley: “THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING! ANTICRIST. ANTICRIST. AN-TI-CR-IST.”

Aziraphale: “Please ma’am don’t bother him about it you see-”

Crowley: “Anticrist!”

Aziraphale: “It’s ok Crowley dear you don’t have to keep trying we’ve been over this-”

Crowley: “No no I can do it I’ve got it this time! An….Ti…C….Rist FUCK-”

-When Aziraphale’s wings are out he flaps his wings when he’s happy

-This tends though to knock down things

-Things like Crowley

-Aziraphale LOVES most food but if a food has a wrong texture he just straight up cries bc he can’t eat that food even if it tasted good the texture is just w r o n g

-This causes Crowley to go into Protecc™ Mode and tries his fuckin HARDEST to make the food himself but with a different texture that Aziraphale won’t hate even though he can hardly cook

-Aziraphale still appreciates the gesture tho

-Plants are also Crowley’s special interest

-Did I mention that in the last post???

-Idk

-But like anyway he names them all

-”And this is Hallie and this is Jonathan and this is Anna and this is Leo and this is-”

“Dear I love hearing your plants names and hearing you excited, but I asked you about where we should go to dinner-”

-Crowley has tourette’s

-One of them is hissing

-Both him and Aziraphale find this useful as it sometimes scares off customers from the bookshop

-But it’s not exactly useful when you’re trying to have a normal conversation with a stranger

-Another tic is jumping

-And also his arm suddenly going berserk

-He usually stays away from Aziraphale’s books on his bookshelf (even though Aziraphale wouldn’t be mad if he did knock a couple of books since he can’t control it)

-Aziraphale used to get made fun of stimming in heaven (around the first 2,000 years the earth existed) so he stopped doing it even with Crowley

-One day he started stimming around Crowley while in public and my gosh!! he forgot how good that feels!!

-Crowley noticed and Aziraphale started apologizing and Crowley was like “Angel… You don’t have to apologize for being yourself around me”

-Crowley would kill a lot of the angels in heaven if he could

-They made Aziraphale feel ashamed for a lot of things and he won’t have that so validation time babeyyy

-Crowley stims by moving his fingers kinda like he’s playing a piano

-besides books one of Aziraphale’s special interests is baking!! once he’s done he likes to share the things he’s baked with people

-One of Crowley’s special interests is space and Aziraphale secretly leaves space-related books around for him

-adhd crowley adhd crowley adhd crowley

-he takes over 100 years to do things

-no literally

-why do you think he procrastinated so long on the apocalypse

-he has difficulty focusing but if he’s in hyperfixation mood wOO boy 

-why do you think he has the best plants in london?? exactly case closed

-Aziraphale has a hard time understanding sarcasm and if anyone’s rude to him about it Crowley Will Fight

-anyway they both feel much more comfortable with themselves now that heaven and hell is out of the way

Finally the long awaited sequel to this iconic post. I’m kinda disappointed in this one tbh as it’s mostly just rambling (i had a hard time getting my thoughts in order) and projection so I don’t feel it’s that good but I hope you guys enjoyed this lemme know if you want a part 3!!<3

[thiswasinevitableid]

I had a terrible thought. I want to preface this by saying that I have a difficult time starting new fics when I finish one that I love, even if I’m excited to read it. After reading Metamorphosis, it was difficult to start Falling, and now I am having a similar issue with M&M. Though I enjoy it already and am rooting for the couples! This made me think of reincarnation aus. What if Indrid knew Duck’s soul in a previous life of the latter, but after losing him had to go on?

In addition, Indrid is overjoyed when he realizes he’s finally found Duck again?

Apparently, I’m in a “what if” mood? I was thinking about how Indrid views so many timelines, the way Garnet does. How you mentioned in various parts of the Falling series. What if Duck does follow the “canonical” path, right up until he’s about to leave for Brazil? Indrid living their life through visions of what could have been? BUT THEN, because I can’t stand sad endings, Duck suddenly regains his memories(via your personal choice of magical means) and....(ran out of space)

Okay, so this is wild: A week ago, I was thinking about how I’d do a soulmates/Reincarnation story, because those AUs are not my jam but I was procrastinating (side note: I too struggle to move from one story to another when I read; your brain has to finish the rinse cycle on the universe you were in before starting on the next one)

Behind the cut for angst (with a happy ending) and, perhaps obviously, mentions of death. The fics I reference (for those who spot them) do not, canonically, relate to each other like this but since we’re playing “what if?...

Indrid Cold hangs up the phone.

See you tomorrow?

Is that all he could really think of? But then again, Leo had been in danger prior to that and the whole tree mess is wrecking havoc on his mind. But then again, what could he have said.

Over a century ago, in another life, you hunted me when all my failures turned me to self interest?

Nearly a century ago, I told fortunes in dusty tents and lifted heavy things for their amusement?

As soon as I heard your voice, I knew it was you?

He shakes his head; maybe he’s wrong. Maybe Duck isn’t the man he has loved and lost twice over in his time on earth. Maybe his intuition and visions are wrong.

------------------------------

They’re not wrong. This helps him very little. Because while he remembers, Duck does not. He watches the disgust on his face at the state of the trailer, the fear when he removes his glasses.

Yes, the mess has gotten rather bad. But the first time we met was in a cave.

Please don’t be afraid of me. Please remember all the times you lay in these spindly arms, wrapped in my wings.

Please remember.

Duck saving Billy is so familiar. So like him, and when Indrid sees the argument between him and Minerva play out in the futures hes awash with pride. Stubborn and kind, not nearly as bloodthirsty as fate wishes him to be.

Strong too, if the punch is any indication. 

“I’m gonna save the Mothman.”

You remember. Some part of you remembers. You thought to save me before anything.

“That’s the whole tourism industry of Point Pleasant right there.”

Well, fuck me I guess.

-----------------------------------------------------------

He sits in the trailer for a week after the tree is destroyed. There are futures where Duck comes to apologize, to check on him, to ask for his help.

No matter how many times he plays them over, they do not materialize.

He can’t force the issue. He can’t. He can’t bring himself to go see Duck. The last time, while he never remembered, he seemed as drawn to Indrid as Indrid was to him, their loving blooming naturally as they traveled together.

Duck Newton has fought fate all his life. He’s been hounded to take up a destiny he did not want. Indrid will not be another voice yammering about fate and destiny in his ear. The man he loved, the man he could easily love again, deserves better.

He starts the trailer, and pulls away from the forest.

--------------------------------------------------

The images of the end play out, over and over, as he drives. He tries to drown them out with the timelines he cherishes that never came to be; Duck falling asleep in his arms, Duck kissing him in the snow, Duck seeking him out when everything went to hell.

“It could use some work.”

I will not allow the Quell to take you. Even if you never remember me, never love me, are never even my friend.

--------------------------------------------------

His wings ache, still sore from where something bit them during the fight. He’s staying at the Lodge while the Bago gets repaired (a Quell Rhino went straight through it). Outside he hears Duck laughing, Minivera’s booming laugh underscoring it.

I really did not see that one coming.

Duck is excited for Brazil. He is excited to be with Minerva. He is excited for his future, and Indrid would never, ever, ever take that from him.

“I do not wish to be apart from you. My life has more color, more substance, more futures in it when I am with you. I love you, and I want to stay by your side for as long as you’ll have me. You seem to feel the same about me and wish me to stay. I’m proposing a way that can be true.”

“You’re askin' me to marry you?” Indrid gives the smallest nod as confirmation. His lover turns the ring over in his fingers.

“Well?” Indrids' voice is soft, shy, unsure.

“Mr. Cold, I do believe I’ll accept your proposal.” He slips the ring onto his finger, holds up his hand and watches Indrid slump forward on the table in relief.

Two out of three meetings lead to love, that is more than he could ever dreamed of.

 “Is that what you’d like? For me to carry you away?” Indrid brushes their noses together.

 “So goddamn much.” The strong-man closes the half-inch between them. It’s as gentle and as tender as first kiss ought to be, their lips learning the shape of each other and teasing at the promise of more.

 When Indrid pulls back, pressing their joined hands to his cheek, he whispers, “simply say the word, and it will be so.”

He can’t go back to Sylvain. What good is a seer who can’t let go of the past?

---------------------------------------------

“Indrid? Oh, there you are buddy.” Duck grins at him, setting the box down on the small table in the trailer, “this was stuff they had to move when they were fixin’ it. Didn’t want to chuck it without lettin’ you look through it.”

“Thank you, Duck.” Indrid begins emptying the box, and Duck helps him, setting things in to neat piles.

“Are you excited for your journey?”

“Uh. Yeah, uh, hell, fuck, hell yeah.”

Indrid looks at him, worried.

“I’m havin’ second thoughts. And Minnie and I done nothin’ but fight the last three days.”

“All couples do, I am told.”

“Yeah but this, these feel like bigger fights. Things we need to hash out before we move to totally new fuckin continent.”

“Perhaps you can defer your work? That would give you time to work things out.”

“Ain’t sure that’s a--shit!” The sketchbook turns out to be a stack of loose papers, and they tumble from Duck’s hands. The ranger kneels down along with Indrid, and as they gather them up, Duck’s hands slow.

“Indrid? Why are these all of me?”

With horror, he sees the futures that did not come to pass, but that he drew anyway so he could look at them, held in Duck’s hands.

“They, ah, they were just futures. You must have been having a busy day, or, or something.”

“Hold up, they ain’t just of me. Seems like there’s a lot of us, uh, together. Really together.” Duck blushes, setting aside a page in a hurry as Indrid wills the floor to open up and swallow him.

“As I said, just futures.”

“Futures you wanted?”

“I, ah, I...”

“Wait, how old is this one? Did you so somethin funny to the paper?” Duck holds up the brown and brittle page.

“Huh. That fella looks like me if I were, I dunno, dressin up like a cowboy.”

“Sheriff.” Indrid corrects softly, “that was sheriff Jake Ellis. I man I loved many, many years ago. As far as I can surmise, he is a past life of yours. There was another in between who I, ah, I also loved. Who was also you.”

“........What the fuck?”

“A reasonable reaction. You should go.”

“Wait, Indrid, why didn’t you say nothin?”

“Would you have honestly enjoyed someone saying ‘by the by, we were lovers in two of your past lives, I already feel myself growing attached to you, so please date me because this feels like fate?”

“Okay, fair point, I woulda hated that. Why not stick around then, be my friend, lemme get to know you?”

“You deserved better than my lurking in the shadows in hopes of you loving me.”

“Indrid-”

“Please leave.“ Indrid points to the door. Duck hesitates, then stands and exits the trailer, gait subdued.

----------------------------------------------------

Duck hears the sad chirring start as soon as the door shuts. He turns, heading into the woods. He needs some time to think.

----------------------------------------------------------

It cant be

“Duck? Your, your flight, you missed it.” It’s been a month since he last saw the ranger.

“Yeah. And, uh, Minerva’s stayin with Leo for a bit. Had some things I wanted to sort out in Kepler before I did anythin’ else.”

“Please don’t tell me this is due to my drawings. I cannot bear the thought of you setting aside your life on the off-chance you might come to love me.”

Duck shifts side to side, “Are you at least willin to give me a chance?” He holds out his hand.

Indrid looks at the futures, but they’re too jumbled by his own indecision to be much help.

“Very well. Two months. If you still feel nothing more than friendship for me after that, please promise me you'll forget about me.”

Duck nods, takes his head, “Deal.”

---------------------------------------------

Indrid yawns, pads into the living room still half-asleep. Waiting for him on the table is a vase of flowers and a mega-pack of fruit gushers, along with a note.

Happy six months, darlin. See you tonight.

-Love, Duck.

Hi, I think you're cute and if you're not seeing anyone do you want to go out sometime?" 72) "Hey, I saw you crying earlier when you stepped on a bug. Do you need me to, like, call someone for you?" 73) "I can't tell if you're really high and just hungry or if you're buying 28 family bags of shredded cheese at three am because you just love cheese. Either way you should probably also buy some laxatives or lactaid while you're already here." 74) "When I told you to make a power point about something you're passionate about for our first class meeting I didn't mean make a power point on 'How to Give Great Head' and I absolutely didn't tell you to include pictures." 75) "Are you wearing that tacky ass outfit because you genuinely like it or because you're a Leo and crave the attention?" 76) "Did you really just buy the last chocolate chocolate chip muffin?

Am I being punked? Are you a hooker? Did my dumbass friend put you up to this?" 81) "Hey, I need you to settle something for me and my friend. Which is the right way to pronounce carrot?" 82) "Do you believe in love at first sight, what about disgust at first glance?" 83) "Look, I'm not saying that MCR's last album changed my life, but I'm absolutely saying that." 84) "Can you move out of my way, I have to clean puke off the floor before I'm allowed to use my lunch break to cry in my car." 85) "Hi, I believe this very drunk person is your roommate, they told me this is the address. I caught them in my backyard playing with my dog again." 86) "I know you're probably not allowed to do this, but I kind of need to borrow an iguana." 87) "Hey, I saw you drop your sandwich in the parking lot earlier and start crying and I felt bad for not saying anything earlier, but I went to the sandwich shop and luckily the dude remembered your oddly specific order so I got you another one. I hope you get to feeling better." 88) "No, we don't sell 'that crazy kush' here, you can try Target." 89) "I was just calling because you sent me a picture text three weeks ago by accident with the caption 'When they let you deliver the digiorno after you clap them cheeks.' and I was just wondering if you could explain what that means because it's been keeping me up at night ever since you sent it." 90) "Hey, I just overheard you talking with your friends about how you put mustard, ketchup, and ranch on your macaroni and cheese and I just wanted to come over here and personally ask you which circle of hell you crawled up from." 91) "What the fuck is a diet water?" 92) "You guys here for the orgy?" 93) "Was that your scream? Why did it sound like a banshee?" 94) "I saw you pour two five hour energy shots into a cup of coffee earlier and then proceed to mix it with monster and red bull and like, dude I know this isn't really my place or whatever but I think you should probably go to the hospital. Like, I think you're gonna die." 95) "Your profile said you're a vegan but my profile says 'Only contact if you eat ass' and you contacted me, so what's the truth here?" 96) "Call me adorable one more time and I'll knock your teeth down your fucking throat." 97) "Move, I have to go fail my Stats test before I can go home and cry into a bag of hot cheetos while I rewatch The Office." 98) "I'm sorry, did you just order a fifty piece mcnugget for here, for yourself?" 99) "So, how do you feel about lizards?" 100) "Question, are you a top or a bottom, because you're giving off major power bottom energy but I'm not one hundred percent sure."

~lwj astrological birth chart analysis~

hi!!! i was thinking about lan zhan’s birthday, and i got a bit curious as to what his birth chart would look like. i did a lot of guessing and interpreting here- i know there’s no official canon year in our history that this all takes place, and that its reaaaaaally difficult to get outer/generational planets right that far back in time. i did my best. enjoy!!

Aquarius Sun

The Aquarius Sun is, above all else, an individual. They strive for their independence and freedom, in whatever form that may take. Ruled by Uranus, they value and look forward to drastic changes and seek to differ from others around them. They are skilled in dealing with facts, logic, and ideas. They have razor sharp intuition, and they usually learn to rely on it early in their lives. Because of this, the Aquarius tends to stick to their beliefs on what is right and what is wrong, and usually cannot be swayed from this, unless shown concrete evidence to the contrary. The combination of these traits create an engaged spirit that seeks to maintain an emotional distance from whatever, or whoever, they are dealing with. This emotional distance is key in defining the core essence of Aquarius- they use it to attempt to transcend the mundane, the drama, and those annoying emotions they can’t seem to get rid of. An Aquarius may face challenges that arise resulting from their detachment, and their struggles with emotion and working with others. This may make them come across as unemotional, rigid, or cold. However, they’re motivated to learn as much as they can with the world around them, and use their principles and intuition as a guide for exploring the universe. They deal in the abstract, and they are fundamentally unconventional, seeking to push boundaries and fight for the social causes they believe in. Keywords to Aquarius Sun: eccentric, independent, detached, curious, intuitive, self reliant

Scorpio Moon

Scorpio Moons are mysterious and intense. Ruled by both Pluto and Mars, they are passionate, and in search of the deeper truths behind something’s first appearance. This parallels themselves, and the truth of their emotions. Beneath all of the first impressions you get from them, there lies the truth of their inner world: sensitive to emotions around and within them, vulnerable (especially to dark mindsets), and the fear of expressing themselves and all these secrets that have been bubbling beneath the surface. All of these things they deal with makes them crave emotional purges- letting out all these powerful emotions, anger, jealousy, pain, love, compassion, in bursts because they just can’t handle keeping it to themselves anymore. They’re secretive, and it’s a defense mechanism. Keywords to Scorpio Venus: intense, sensual, moody, secretive

Capricorn Mercury

They are typically very cautious in what they say. Ruled by Saturn, they are detail oriented but they know what the big picture is. They’re good at organizing their thoughts and activities. They are conservative in what they say, and they are high focused and goal oriented. They do get irritated when too much information comes their way, because they aren’t given the time they need to process that information. Keywords to Capricorn Mercury: focused, intelligent, analytical

Capricorn Venus

People with Venus in Capricorn typically like to impress people with their intelligence and drive to succeed. Ruled by Saturn, love is very serious to them, and they might feel like they need to be at a stable, independent place in their lives to be able to settle down with someone. Behind their “cool” demeanor, they are warm and emotional people. They may be shy, but they show their feelings through their actions. They say what they mean, and how they appear to others is very important to them. To feel safe and secure, they often need to have a sense of financial security or wealth, so they may choose someone who is well off to be with. There is something soulful about someone with a Capricorn Venus, and it is even more intriguing because of their sense of privacy. Keywords for Capricorn Venus: quiet, ambitious, analytical

Leo Mars

They are extremely proud people. They tend to be quite competitive, and they do not accept compromise, or failure. They play the game of life by their own rules. They put their all into everything, including their ego, so they can get quite defensive when provoked or humiliated. Leo Mars people are naturally born leaders. They strive to succeed in any and every single thing they do. They are skilled performers, and deep inside themselves, they have a need to create. They act with their heart. However, their pride is their downfall, aided only by the high standards they set for themselves. They love being the center of attention, in more ways than one. They do take care of their partner’s needs; however, their attention is focused most on their own pleasure. They crave the excitement of a new relationship, and all the affection and love that comes along with it. They can get jealous easily, and they may “test” their partner’s loyalty. They become easily irritated with disloyalty or dishonesty. Keywords for Leo Mars: direct, dramatic, vivacious, proud

Sagittarius Jupiter

The Jupiter in Sagittarius placement creates a powerful urge to travel, to expand your knowledge and learn about other cultures. They typically can come across as detached, friendly, and non-judgemental in passing. They seek to expand wisdom, and to teach. Learning is their highest calling in life. This is a Sagittarius Jupiter’s greatest strength, but it can also cause them to come across as a know-it all, or rather aloof. Typically, not always, they may be active, and seek competition. 

Taurus Saturn

Those with their Saturn in Taurus seek tangible challenges and answers from their world. Saturn, as a generational planet, shows our limitations and challenges, and Taurus deals in the sensual, the tangible, and the desire for material pleasures. This can manifest as collection of things they deem beautiful, such as art, clothing, food, or just money. They can feel intimately tied to their physical world, and weaknesses can be found in hoarding goods valuable to them. Taurus brings this planet reliability, stability, and determination. 

Libra Uranus

Another generational placement, Libra channels Uranus’s desire for transcendence and enlightenment into art. They may be musically gifted, or particularly literate or artistic. Their deep imagination gives way for an incredibly sense for detail, and intuition. They tend to be restless, and dislike others intruding into their private lives. Uranus in Libra is uniquely prone to domestic troubles, such as the loss of their romantic partner. They can be unconventional, and are often characterized as anarchic. The balance and reasoning they bring to this planet brings changes to the traditional definitions of law, norms, and relationships.

Scorpio Neptune

Another generational placement, the Scorpio in Neptune individual is deeply emotionally spiritual. They can find physical intimacies and pleasures as spiritual connections, and seek explanation for the truths they seek about the universe in the esoteric, or the occult. They search beyond reason- they delve into the inner workings of the soul to define the world around them. They often find inner conflict in their selfish desires and fantasies, and their overwhelming tendency for self-sacrifice. 

Cancer Pluto

As Pluto represents hidden power and the deep psyche, Cancer gives meaning to this with emotional connection. Every emotion is incredibly intense, and a lot of inner conflict comes from their efforts to control their emotions. They are protective of those they love, and because of this, they seek to always be one step ahead of all their troubles in order to protect themselves and those they love. They find their purpose in their family and their relationships. They may also find themselves clinging to their childhood belief systems, even when this conflicts with what they find they desire in the present.

OKAY LETS CHAT. lets address the elephant in the room. yes, canonically, mdzs is not set in any time in our history. im just a hoe for astrology and i pieced together a relative year based on historical context given throughout canon, 423 AD. already a bit shakey on the timing of things, but also, because this is soooo far back, i did not factor in retrogrades for outer planets. technically speaking, since this is so far back in history, retrogrades become a bit insignificant when calculating for planets like jupiter, that switch signs every year and can retrograde several times a year. oh fuckin well.

BUT IS THIS NOT THE MOST LAN WANGJI THING YOUVE EVER SEEN??????

let’s dive right in, shall we?

We all know homeboy’s an aquarius sun, but like come on. “value and look forward to drastic changes and seek to differ from others around them” ???? “skilled in dealing with facts, logic, and ideas” ???? “emotional distance is key in defining the core essence of Aquarius- they use it to attempt to transcend the mundane, the drama, and those annoying emotions they can’t seem to get rid of. An Aquarius may face challenges that arise resulting from their detachment, and their struggles with emotion and working with others. This may make them come across as unemotional, rigid, or cold. however, they’re motivated to learn as much as they can with the world around them, and use their principles and intuition as a guide for exploring the universe” ???? fuck yeah my dude.

having a scorpio mood explains his unsettling demeanor that we experience through wwx’s 15 year old eyes. Not only is he quiet and rule abiding, but he’s ~mysterious~. he’s secretly brimming with enough feelings to make rambunctious wwx shit himself. not only that, but he’s emotionally constipated!!! we love to see it. WE ALSO LOVE TO SEE EVIDENCE OF THE EMOTIONAL INTENSITY THAT MAKES WWX WANT TO CRY EVERY TIME LWJ TELLS HIM HE LOVES HIM OKAY BYE

cap mercury- reserved, brief, to the point. all in character.

cap venus- warm and emotional behind a cool demanor???? If that aint him???? soulful, intentional, and a rich motherfucker. yes yes yes.

OKAY THE LEO MARS MAKES THE MOST SENSE. Everyone’s so suprised to see him tell wwx to shut up and get out so many times in the beginning of wwx’s stay at the cloud recesses. But leo mars really does give him quite the temper. He’s got a bit of an ego, even if he doesn’t show it all that often. he needs to be the best at everything he does- and he is. he’s truly hanguang-jun. also in novel canon, he a dom top. and we love him for it. he knows what he wants. he knows how to get it.

okay normally i don’t put much thought into outer/generational planets, but because this is a “historical” tale, i think it’s important to put his personality into context. of course, none of these planets have an incredibly direct hand into the personality, they more give context and the foundations of the personality given your generation. first off- the sagittarius jupiter is actually so true?? he shows up in the chaos, he gets into the thick of conflicts all over the place. of course he does, how else is he supposed to learn? even if he’s quiet and doesn’t show all the character development he goes through, it’s there. there’s a reason why after wwx comes back to life, that he doesn’t really go after him for demonic cultivation. it’s because lwj seeked out places that put him out of his comfort zone (finding wwx in the burial grounds after the sunshot campaign to see all the wens, following wwx after his massacre), that really taught him the lesson “what is right? what is wrong? what is black? what is white?” let me tell you, if he just stayed in the cloud recesses year round, he would not have arrived at that conclusion. and he sure as hell comes off as aloof. if you don’t think so, ask su she.

we don’t really get to see much of lwj’s domestic life in the thick of the plot, so it’s hard to say how accurate his saturn sign is. all i know is that he’s reliable and stable as hell.

doing research on the libra uranus placement cracked me the fuck up. musically gifted? check? your romantic partner dying and leaving you alone? check. unconventional relationships? check. that last one i really want to stress. being “cutsleeve” in that historical context is very unconventional. also, given the romantic relationship that has been modelled to him in his most formative years, a stable, healthy relationship with good communication is rather unconventional. for sure, he challenges laws, norms and relationships throughout the cultivation world.

the scorpio neptune i also found really fascinating. as painful as it is for us to admit, for a long time, lan zhan’s desires and love for wwx can be interpreted as a bit selfish. not inherently!!! just that it was unrequited, and especially since wwx screamed at him in a cave as he lay dying and lwj just told him over and over again that he loved him. (wanna stress!! love is not inherently selfish!!! context!!!) he also has an undeniable tendency to self sacrifice. all the fucking time. he just don’t stop. every opportunity that he can take to punish himself for not adhering to his childhood standards, he physically punishes himself. he blames himself for a shitton of things that’s happened to him. and this is a major conflict for his character development. i also find it interesting that the scorp neptune gives an interest in the esoteric/occult. given that this is a fantasy world where he gets to go kill monsters and demons, i find this very interesting.

cancer pluto. hoooooo booyyyyy. he sure as hell tries to control his emotions. from what we, the audience, can see, he seems to have a very intense emotional world. this is only proven further by his scorpio moon and neptune. his dedication to waiting for his deceased mother for a month after she passed, his continued attachment to his uncle despite lqr’s devout hatred of the love of his life, and his dedicated attachment to wwx, this seems pretty true to me. and if anyone tries to tell me he doesnt cling to his childhood belief systems despite their contrast to his current desires, idk what ill do. Ill have to reread and rewatch everything.

oh boy!!! this was actually so much fun. if i got anything wrong, lmk!! ill make edits!! bc i did this all within an hour in the middle of the night, completely dehydrated lol

thanks for reading this far!!!

Annoying shit about the signs

Aries: You have pride over shit you don’t need pride over. Like not going to get ice cream just cuz your enemy eats ice cream.

Taurus: Your drama and fighting is so cringy. STOP

Gemini: The mood swings give everyone whip lash even yourself.

Cancer: You play everyone but act innocent. You can have it all but stop hurting people. The whole “cool” act gets old.

Leo: Honestly you think you know it all. You make mistakes because you want to not, because you didn’t know.

Virgo: Literally you are alone cuz you do it to yourself. You never being the bigger person will burn bridges.

Libra: Nobody will ever say it but i will. STOP WANTING EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU.

Scorpio: You create drama! You are the fuckin drama. STOP CUZ YOU CANT HANDLE THE HEAT! You aren’t a victim.

Sagittarius: You can’t get over anything. You get stuck on shit then act like you aren’t. It’s you not us.

Capricorn: Your need to be perfect is a drag. STOP! Being perfect is boring. Also stop wanting everyone else to be perfect too.

Aquarius: Snap out of the stories you have in your head. NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY IS OUT TO GET YOU!

Pisces: You’re run by emotions but you take it the f*ck up sometimes. LEARN YO CONTROL THEM! You always regret your outbursts anyways.

bad habits

also on [ao3]

Leo's eye was bruised, his nose was bloody, and he staggered through the door with a weakened limp, sniffling as he headed towards the bathroom, grabbing tissue to hold to his nose while it dripped. Catching sight of his figure, Markus hastily darted behind him out of pure paternal instinct.

"Leo?" Startled, Leo spun around with wide eyes as his heart skipped a beat, before relaxing.

"Fuck, I told you not to do that," he groaned, but Markus didn't know how to respond.

"What happened to you?"

"Well, what's it look like?" Rolling his eyes, Leo removed the tissue and checked the bleeding, which had slowed, but not stopped. Markus wasted no time grabbing the first-aid kit, then dabbing a washcloth with water, moving Leo's hand away to start wiping off the blood.

"Did you break your nose?"

"Uh, once or twice," he said with a sarcastic, joking tone. Markus didn’t appreciate it.

"I dunno. It doesn't feel like it. Can't you like, do x-rays or something with those crazy eyes of yours?" Markus looked surprised and a bit offended but shook his head.

"My functionality regarding injuries are limited, even as a caretaker. I wasn't designed to be a nurse," he concluded. Leo sighed.

"Better not be fuckin' broken. I'm not doing another hospital visit this month." Markus scrunched his face as Leo, yet again, stubbornly put his preferences over his own health.

"Leo, if it's broken, it needs reset. You know this." Leo grimaced, then moaned with dismay.

"Fine. But I'm taking some painkillers first, let me get my shit together." He laughed at the double meaning of his own phrasing, but Markus wasn't done fussing, turning Leo's head by the chin to get a closer look. Leo looked disgruntled, but Markus was grateful he was cooperating.

"Get some ice to put on it," he suggested, before leaning away so Leo could get past.

"Sure, bro," he said dismissively, grabbing his jacket but dismissing the ice. Markus fetched it for him instead.

-

Leo grimaced at the android behind the front counter, so Markus stepped ahead, informing it of the situation with eye contact and a yellow LED rotation.

"Please take a seat, someone will be right with you," it responded politely.

"Whatever, but make sure it's a human. I'm not being looked after by a damn computer," he huffed and it nodded acceptingly.

Recognizing his usual doctor - a young Vietnamese woman with a crooked overbite - he threw her a looming glare, and she responded with a sarcastic smile.

"Leo," she chimed.

"Lovely seeing you again. What brings you in today?" She led him away after a nurse handled his vitals. Shifting the ice on his face, Leo almost snapped, before catching himself.

"Nose might be broken," he said simply with another sniffle. She shook her head with a quiet 'tsk, tsk.'

"Again? Well, okay. Let's get you to a room and take a look," she mused. He reluctantly followed, and the jagged stance in his walk caught her attention.

"Your leg hurting you again?"

"Always," he murmured. She offered a sympathetic gaze.

"Well, everything looks normal so far. Care to tell me what happened?" He rolled his eyes.

"Jackson," was all he said. Tilting her head, she looked curious, shifting with an expression of disappointment following.

"Of course. What was it? Drugs? Money?"

"No!" he snapped a bit too loud, quieting down in a moment of embarrassment.

"Yeah," he huffed with a sigh.

"Well, since your vitals are normal I assume you're still sober?" He nodded.

"I still owe everyone so much and it catches up, I guess."

"I worry for you," she said simply.

"Me too," he muttered.

-

The piercing scream caught Markus' attention immediately, turning his head in the direction of his hospital room. It must have been broken after all.

Once Leo returned, his nose was in a splint and stuffed with gauze. Markus frowned.

"I hate myself," he said arbitrarily with a stuffy voice.

"Let's go. I fucking hate this place." Acknowledging his sunken mood, Markus stood up.

"Do you want anything?" There wasn't much he could do in favor of the pain, but naturally he wanted to get Leo as comfortable as he possibly could.

"An energy drink and some chips would be great," he murmured.

"There's a store down the road. Can you walk?" Leo glanced down at his leg, giving it a shake for emphasis and nodding.

"Little bitch always goes for low blows," he spat with snide.

"We've talked about how you should stay away from people like that," Markus stated, but made a point to sound neutral lest the scolding worsen Leo's mood.

"What happened?"

"I know it's hard to believe," he snarked, "but I didn't go looking for a fight! He found me and started getting up in my face. The fuck was I supposed to do?" Markus frowned with a glare of concern as Leo nearly tripped as soon as they left the building.

"Walk away?" The tone was more condescending than he meant it to be, and Leo sighed.

"Easy for you to say. We also talked about the fact we both have a hard time stepping down. Your thing was just uh, different,” Leo said, tilting his head and scratching his hair. Markus couldn’t deny his point, so he remained quiet.

“See? War and violence and shit, it’s crap, but I do what I have to, just like you did.” Sort of.

“You don’t have to get into fights, Leo.” Reacting with a grimace as he was caught without any response, he shrugged.

“Like I said. He provoked me first. I just… can’t back down, I guess,” he murmured. Markus reminded himself Leo’s been fighting for himself, his life among various other things since he was a teenager, and the habit would die hard.

“So, this was an accidental happenstance?” Markus couldn’t imagine such a thing, but he wanted to try and understand, for Leo’s sake as well.

“Er, yeah. You can call it that. Wasn’t planning on it.” With a long exhale through his nostrils, Markus opened the door to the shop to let Leo through.

“Have you taken your meds?” Leo didn’t respond, which wasn’t a resound no, and he usually said so if he hadn’t.

“I, er. We should stop by the pharmacy,” he said quietly, still getting over the embarrassment of his diagnoses.

“Sure,” Markus responded.

“We can put it in the bag with the groceries,” he said to respect the fact Leo didn’t being seen with them. With a small exhale of relief, he nodded.

Promise me (Raphael x Reader)

Just a quick something featuring Raphael ! I was a bit in the mood for that :) !

At first you thought it was part of your dream. An incessant tapping sound on a glass surface - patient yet strangely insistant. It was way past midnight, grumbling as you finally woke up, getting to your nightstand’s light, revealing your awaken state. The tapping slowly died as you made your way to your window which gave to an emergency staircase outside. Your eyes landed on a mutant terrapin - Raphael - as your opened your curtains and slid the window open. ‘‘Raph? What are you doing here?’‘ you asked, your tone tired. ‘‘Can I get in?’‘ he asked, wincing a bit. You frowned, suddenly worried by his behavior. Of course he could get in, he’s your freaking boyfriend! As soon as he got into proper light, that’s when you noticed blood. Long gashes were found on his right arm and his sides, your traits easily translating your panicked state. ‘‘What the hell?!’‘ you only said. ‘‘I know, I know,’‘ cut Raph. ‘‘Just hand me something so I can stop the blood, please.’‘ You had a hard time focusing, only fumbling around until you found an old t-shirt, not daring to exit your room and wake up your family. Raph showed a perplexed look, somehow questioning if using that clothe was a good idea, but you simply nodded to him, not caring about it. ‘‘... What happened?’‘ The turtle slightly hissed as he tried to tend to his wounds, grunting as he tried to find his words. ‘‘I thought I could handle them alone...,’‘ he started. ‘‘I found some info on Donnie’s screens about some Foot clan activity and- ... and I went without them. I couldn’t wait. I thought I could handle them on my own, it didn’t look too hard.’‘ ‘‘Didn’t lo- Raph! For fuck’s sake, what were you thinking?’‘ you scolded in a hushed voice. ‘‘I dunno!’‘ he replied back in the same tone. ‘‘Lemme call Donnie, maybe he can help with those cuts,’‘ you said, about to get to your phone. ‘‘No! No, please don’t,’‘ he stopped you, holding your arm, his eyes surprisingly round. ‘‘I can’t face my bros right now. Please, stay...’‘ You sighed slowly, moving back near him as you took the shirt in turn, tending to his wounds. ‘‘... Why do you keep trying to prove something? You’re already so strong, Raphael.’‘ ‘‘Then why couldn’t I do this? Why did I have to do the wrong thing once again? Why can’t I just stay in fuckin’ line and wait for Leo to bark his orders? ... I know my bros are strong too, but, damn, I don’t wish for them to live this crime-fighting life forever, ya know?’‘ Your movements slowed down, your eyes stuck on the turtle. A warm smile somehow showed on your face, your voice now soft. ‘‘You have a heart of gold, you know that?’‘ ‘‘Don’t make me laugh, doll, my heart is filled with trash with a side of brightness ‘cause of you.’‘ ‘‘Stop that, stop beating yourself up, you don’t need more wounds.’‘ He couldn’t stop his light chuckle this time, his left arm carefully hooking around your waist, keeping you near. ‘‘I don’t care getting hurt, as long as I can protect those important to me...,’‘ he murmured, nuzzling the top of your head. ‘‘Can you protect my heart then?’‘ you started. ‘‘Can you promise it that you will always come back in one piece? Please ... I hate to see you like this.’‘ ‘‘I may be stupid enough to do crazy shits like I just did, but I’m not fool enough to get myself killed.’‘ Your eyes met. ‘‘Promise me, Raph,’‘ you repeated. His heart clenched, seeing you so serious and yet frail. He couldn’t help leaving a loving kiss on your forehead, his love for you forever growing. ‘‘... For you, babe, I promise for all eternity.’‘

"Uh, yer sure yer wanna watch my Hockey Game?" Casey asks, seeming unsure about this idea, "Jus', I aint sure yer like it."

One would think he's just nervous at the idea of Raph watching him, but no, it's cause he knows they're going to get jealous. When they insist though, Casey stops arguing, not really having time considering the game was about to start,

"A'right, but be warned - we get handsy out there."

-

The game went great for Casey's team. Point after point scored, they were smoking the other team! Course, a few fights broke out, that was very much expected. And, of course, there were moments of that affection people liked. Hockey was a game as violent as it was affectionate after all - and Casey was no exception to the large team hugs, random nuzzles and near kisses. Alongside all the fights. He was gonna be bruised as fuck tomorrow. Not that he cared about that part.

Free from the locker room, he was quick to catch up to Raph, grinning like a Cheshire as he did,

"Hey! Raph! Did yer see us out there?! We fuckin' rocked!"

However, celebrations died quick when Casey looked at Raph's face - clearly they were in a mood. He had been so caught up in the euphoria of a win, he sort of forgot Raph was the biggest Jelly bean known to man. Quickly, his own mood soured,

"The fuck yer makin' that face for?" He asked, annoyed, "Dude we won, why are yer mad 'bout it?"

| Muse interaction

Was it dumb? yeah. Was it a likely risk? also yeah. But Raph really wanted to go. He wanted to tag along and sit in the stands watch Casey in his element. He seen them skate before Casey was like made to skate on ice it seemed when he did how easily he skid across the ice and all. He wanted to do the boyfriend thing of supporting them from the sidelines! and he wanted to watch Casey kick some guys teeth in maybe even. At most all he had done was listen to Casey after games. Watch them when they sat on roof tops together as Casey animatedly went on about his teams latest match. How brown eyes seemed to shine and out dazzle the stars that broken through smog. How Casey's grin grew so wide the gap between his teeth was on full display. How Raph never loved Casey more than when they got like that. How it made his heart flutter in his shell. And wish he could be there instead, and catch Casey's joy on the ice. Instead of a day later when alone. And how that was a harsh reminder at times.

Look he knew Leo had a good point about it being a risk, he understood Donnie's concerns of being 'hidden in plain sight' he got that Mikey just wanted his get up to both keep him warm and not clash. what they didn't get? was Raph was young and clearly deeply in love so sometimes his mind didn't care and over looked a lot of that stuff. He just wanted that bit of normalcy and maybe that was why he got away with stern warnings of being careful alone. So maybe in part they did at least understand Raph was clearly at the his core in love. But even Casey seemed shocked when he came across Raphael, he managed to sneak into the section where the team was all heading out from the locker room and out to the rink. Raph was kind of hoping that the sudden surprise of him being there would be the more focus for his boyfriend.

"Uh, yer sure yer wanna watch my Hockey Game?"

Raph felt a little deflated but he wouldn't let it fully get to him, "Oh come on ya think I'd come all the way here, shove all this" gesturing to the oversize winter garb he was currently covered up in, thanks Mikey. "If i wans' sure 'bout this?" Raph go to state. He already had this conversation three times and was at a frustration point. He didn't need Casey adding in a fourth. Wasn't Casey happy he was here?

"Jus', I aint sure yer like it."

Raph huffed blowing air out his snout over that statement, he couldn't understand what Casey meant by that. They had gotten him into hockey int he first place! "What dose that mean!" Raph snaps it's not really Casey he is mad at, he is just annoyed by this point having gone through three lectures before well two, Mikey wasn't so much trying ti get him out of it. Maybe the others weren't either ugh he didn't care! he just wanted to come and see his boyfriend's game! why was it like it was such a big deal! "I ain't leavein' one way or another I'm stayin' got it?" Raph snips a little "Besides it be nice ta actually see ya play an' not have-ta wait till later to hear the Jones version of how it went. Even if ya suck." Raph points out "Oh that it ya worried ya gonna suck and gettin' all embarrassed over it? Well get over it. Even ya lose I just wanna watch ya play okay?" Sure Casey couldn't really stop him but if he really didn't want Raph there? He'd leave.

"A'right, but be warned - we get handsy out there."

Casey finally gave in, eh they tended to give in to what Raph wanted often so it's no surpise they back off. Raph just tilted his head tot he side though over that bit. Yeah he knew hokcey games were phsycially why would that bother him? Though seemed Raphael forgot something about hockey games and the players when it came to the whole team sprit and bond between team mates.

Raph felt the blood pounding so hard he could hear it in his ears, he felt a growling rumbling from the back of his throat. Fingers twitched as he drumbbed them against his arms, having them tightly crossed in front of his plastron well best he could the puffer jacket he wore now made that task a bit impossible.

Why had he gone from such a good mood excitable every to this? Well because Casey's did won. Theu were on fire the whole game! Score after score cheering was loud! The crowd loved every second of it not one member of said crowd however. Not Raph. He got over that stupid tape of Casey first game cause that was a long time ago they weren't dating it didn't matter. But now? Now they were dating and raph had to sit through about two hours worth of watching Casey nuzzling up with other guys and those near kisses. Yeah Casey didn't allow any kisses to happen like that tape and Rpah didn't mind the hugs but still. Now he was annoyed.

"Hey! Raph! Did yer see us out there?! We fuckin' rocked!"

But there it was the sight Raph came to see and he was right. Casey eyes were brighter than when he retold the wins his grin was large and wide that gap in his teeth couldn't be hidden. And Raph felt like something sharp was twisting in his gut. He face was knotted and twisted up in to the most sour expression one could muster right now. And Casey caught on to it in a second.

"The fuck yer makin' that face for?"

Great going Raphael, he thought to himself as he pulled his attetion away fucking pissed at himself because he had killed that expression. The reason he came in the first place. Casey warned him and he shouldn't fucking care but he dose fucking care!

"Nothin' okay just fuckin' forget it." Raphael tried so he could slavage the rest of the night. And. Ot have to thibk about how lucky the guys on Casey team heck even the other team were. They got to see those brown eyes of Casey's sparkle like nothing else seems to make them do. They got to be close and nuzzle in against him and celebrate those wins. And Raph? Had to hide in a crowd where he was just another ass in the stands.

Casey wasn't even excited that he showed up in the first place.

"Dude we won, why are yer mad 'bout it?"

And maybe that was his tipping point. From everyone basically telling him this was a bad idea in the first place only to fight and argue it wasn't. Only to be shown he was wrong. And of course Raphael was wrong! "Me mad? Wow what a wild concept!" He snipped tone dripped in sarcasm now. "Because I just wanted to see my fuckin' boyfriend! Why dose everyone have ta be on my fuckin' ass 'bout that! I wanted to come out sit and watch my boyfriend play! Instead, I gotta sit and watch him have guys all over him!" Raph wasn't mad at Ca, ey but he could blame anyone for seeing it thst way. He couldn't blame Casey if he took his out brush just now as him blaming it on Casey. That was the problem, well, that was Rachael's problem. He always communicated in anger.

He shut his beak and turned away now huffing and grumbling under his breath he fucking ruined this night himself. "I know you won and that's why I wanted to be here! You know when you get excited your eyes like get really bright. They are so deeply darkly brown. And I obsessed over them as is but when you tell me about your match they brighten up! They look so fuckin' bright like there's something buried, trapped behind that brown color. And you smile so wide that the adorable gap in your teeth is on full display! Your hyena like laugh just don't stop. And I just wanted to see if it's even more right after one of your games!" Raphael ranted on about gripping at the stupid puffer jacket and he was working on the zipper freeing himself from his disguise he didn't need it anymore.

"An' I was right! Your damn eyes were so fuckin' stunning your were smiling so fuckin' brightly but I fuckin' ruined it!" He shouts out louder. He should have listened to everyone's concerns they were right. Worse he was ruining this for Casey too. He didn't want them to fix his face for him this time.

"Just go be with your fuckin' team." He tells them as he frees himself finally. Shoulders rising and falling over and over well he breathed trying to clam his breathing. God he was so fucking stupid why did he get jealous so fucking easily? "Splinter gonna be on my ass 'bout curfew anyway." He spits out storming off in a rush cause last thing he needed was Casey yelling back and getting mad too. He didn't want a fight for once.

Raphael claimed he was going home but fuck he didn't wanna be there either. Left to be met with a 'I told you so' not that any of his brothers would understand what ruined the night. It was Raph it was always Raph. He was so fucking good and destroying things. So instead of mopping around at home to stew in his bad mood he went to his hiding spot at the docks. Just below the peir so he could squat and sit in the sand. Great sand the thing that reminded him of Casey most. He pulled his knees to his chest and huffed again.

He could hear his shell cell ring g but ignored it he didn't care who was calling him. He fucking ruined this whole night. Buring his face into his arms. Why did he have to be so jealous? Casey was a great guy he was lucky Casey wanted him back. Casey might have a better time with anyone else, though, and we'll that hurt to think about. He did lift his face up enough to grab at his phone ignoring any calls or texts so he could call Casey himself...if they even wanted to hear from him.

"I'm sorry..." He said to the speaker anyway. "will ya let me apologize?"
