I totally get if you dont wanna reveal the answers but im also SO curious abt the answers to your Disney trivia (esp the 101 dalmatians book one!!!)

I thought I checked a box that said they would tell u the answers if u got it wrong but apparently that's not working so absolutely.

Quiz is HERE is you guys wanna take it before reading this! I worked very hard on it <3

Anyway, infodump time

How Many Banks Children were in the first Mary Poppins book?

A: Four. While Jane and Michael were the main characters of the book, they also had infant twin siblings. I had to edit this question to include “first book” after finding out that they get another sibling in later books; so the first book has four, and later books have five.

2. T/F: In 101 Dalmatians, Pongo's mate is named Perdita after she is found alone on the street.

A: False. Perdita is not Pongo's wife or the puppies' mother, but a nurse for some of the pups. She was indeed named Perdita (meaning "lost") after being found on the street, and was a liver-spotted dog looking for her own lost puppies. Pongo's wife is named Missis and she's a bimbo and i love her

3. Disney added multiple characters to Bambi. Who of the following was actually in the book?

A: Faline. Thumper and Flower were added to the Disney film and did not appear in the original book.

4. T/F: In the original Pinocchio book, the character who would become Stromboli was actually more sympathetic than Disney portrayed him as.

A: True. Stromboli's character, Mangiafuoco, is at first annoyed at Pinocchio for ruining his performance and threatens to burn him. However, he takes pity on the boy and later lets him go, giving him some gold coins for his journey.

5. Which of the following is NOT something that happens in the original Peter Pan that Disney cut from the ending?

A: the answer I made up is the one of Nana going to Neverland. In the original book, at the end, Captain Hook is eaten by the crocodile, the Darling children return to find that they had been reported missing for several months and their parents were frantic, the Lost Boys move in with the Darlings, them and John and Michael forget about Neverland, and Tinker Bell dies offscreen. Peter forgets about her cause his memory is shit.

Other Peter Pan fun fact: There are actual canon nonbinary fairies in this 1911 book! Wendy talks about the fairies, and says, “The mauve ones are boys and the white ones are girls, and the blue ones are just little sillies who are not sure what they are.”

6. T/F: Tarzan’s foster mother, Kala, dies in the book.

A: True. She’s unfortunately killed by some tribal African stereotypes which. oof.

7. What role did Ariel's sisters play in the original Little Mermaid?

A: They sold their hair for a way for the Little Mermaid to return home. The sisters gave the Sea Witch their hair in exchange for a dagger for Ariel to use to stab the prince; if she did so, she would revert to a mermaid. Ariel considered it, as the prince had fallen in love with someone else and thus she would not be able to marry him by the time limit, but decided against it.

8. T/F: Dumbo's mouse friend was present in the original story.

A: False. Timothy Q Mouse was made as a replacement for a wise robin named Red.

9. What are two of the ways the wicked Queen tries to kill Snow White before using the apple?

A: She tries to suffocate her with a laced bodice, and then brushes her hair with a poisoned comb. These both fail, as the dwarves untie the bodice and remove the comb. Fun fact: the reason the apple failed in the OG story was actually because when the prince moved the coffin, it fell from her mouth!

One of the fake answers is “She gives her slippers that make her dance endlessly,” which is the Queen’s fate in the fairytale. Another fake answer is “She sends crows to peck her eyes out” which happens in the Grimm version of Cinderella to the stepfamily. “She tries to get her to prick her finger on a poisoned thornbush” references both Sleeping Beauty and the beginning of the story where the good Queen wishes for a child as red as blood and white as snow after pricking her finger and seeing blood in the snow.

10. T/F: In the original "The Fox and the Hound" book, the Hound kills the Fox.

A: True. Disney switched the names of Copper and Chief, but the character who would become Copper does chase Tod until he dies of exhaustion. The dog then dies at the end of the book. Cheery! The whole book is full of death and despair I only recommend it if you want to make people uncomfortable at parties.

11. What was Jasmine’s name in the original folk tale?

A: Badroulbadour. As for the other answers: Yasmin is her name in the Arabic dub of the Disney film; Scheherazade is the main protagonist of 1001 Arabian Nights; Dalia is Jasmine’s handmaiden in the live-action reboot; Fatimah is the pestering wife of Maruf the Cobbler in his Arabian Nights story; Morgiana is Ali Baba’s heroic daughter-in-law from Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves; Nouronnihar is another princess in The Three Princes and the Princess Nouronnihar, and Zumurrud is one of the protagonists in Ali Shar and Zumurrud.

12. In The Frog Princess, which The Princess and the Frog was VERY loosely inspired by, what is the actual reason that Emma (who would become Tiana) turns into a frog after kissing the prince?

A: She is wearing a curse-reversal bracelet. It was given to her by her adventuring Aunt, and she has to retrieve the bracelet in order to turn into a human and then kiss the prince again.

The fake answer “She is not a real princess” is the reason used in the final film that Tiana transforms.

13. T/F: In 2022, Disney released a sequel film to "Hocus Pocus." However, a book sequel was created in 2018 with a drastically different plot. In this plot, Max and Allison's daughter is canonically gay.

A: True! Her name is Poppy and she summons the Sandersons while trying to impress a cute girl. Queen shit

14. Which of the following is NOT true about the book version of Eilonwy?

A: The false statement was that her bauble was a fairy. The true statements are that her mother was a princess but her father was a commoner, the women of her family were all enchantresses, but she loses a good chunk of her magic by destroying The Book of Llyr.

15. T/F: Disney’s Alice in Wonderland changed the ending to make it all Alice’s dream instead of a real adventure.

A: False! The book did originally end as Alice's dream, as did the sequel. Fun fact, though: The Wizard of Oz was not a dream in the book! As stated before, neither was Peter Pan.

16. What role does Sleeping Beauty's Husband's Mother play in the story?

A: She is an ogre that tries to eat Sleeping Beauty and her children.

17. T/F: While Treasure Planet changed a lot from Treasure Island, Jim's backstory of being abandoned by his father is the same.

A: False. In the book, his father died instead of left.

18. What was the Rescue Aid Society’s name in the book?

A: Prisoners’ Aid Society. The first book actually featured the mice rescuing an adult poet from prison.

19. Esmeralda’s goat sidekick, Djali, was actually in the original book.

A: True.

20. What is the plot to the official book sequel to 101 Dalmatians?

A: The humans all fall into a magical coma and the dogs, now with psychic powers, must save them. Yeah! That’s canon! Written by the original story’s author!! Why did Disney never adapt it!!!

Of the fake answers, “Cruella attempts to kidnap puppies again, only to be thwarted by the original dogs” is a slight ref to 101 Dalmatians 2: Patch’s London Adventure; “A dalmatian without spots saves her family” and “Cruella attempts to reform and becomes a dog lover” are both descriptions of subplots in 102 Dalmatians, and the mention of Cruella’s cat in one of the fake answers does refer to a book character.

21. T/F: The talking snowman was an actual character in The Snow Queen.

A: False.

22. What are the names of Rapunzel’s twin children?

A: The twins are unnamed in the original story. Of the fake answers, “Ruby and Rampion” references a background character in Descendants and the alternate name for the Rapunzel plant; “Dawn and Day” are Sleeping Beauty’s children; “Elba and Saiba” I got from googling fairytales with twins, and the site says it’s an African fairytale? I’ll have to look it up tbh cause I’m not sure; “Zjema and Handa” are from the Albanian folktale The Twins, and “Cassandra and Varian” are two characters from the Tangled TV series.

23. T/F: In the original Tarzan series, Clayton is revealed to be Tarzan’s cousin.

A: True. Tarzan’s birth name is John Clayton II, and Disney’s Clayton is William Cecil Clayton. While this plotline was dropped in the movie, fun fact: Clayton’s VA provided Tarzan’s famous call for the film!

24. What is Ratigan’s first name in the original stories?

A: Padraic. Of the fake names, “James” and “Moriarty” obviously reference the Sherlock character he is based on; “Proudfoot” is a family in the first 1958 Basil story; “Doran” was Ratigan’s lieutenant based on former tumblr blorbo Sebastian Moran; “Vincent” comes from Ratigan’s VA Vincent Price; “Ingham” was the surname of Basil’s VA, Barrie Ingham; and “Leslie” came from one of the inspirations for Basil’s animation, Leslie Howard.

25. T/F: Roger Rabbit dies in the original book.

A: True. I do not know how to convey to you how INSANE the Roger Rabbit book is. It’s so fucking nuts.

26. The Lion King is famously based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. What characters inspired Timon and Pumbaa?

A: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They ended up serving very different roles in the plot, but originally Timon and Pumbaa’s characters were meant to be Simba’s childhood friends like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were, and they eventually evolved into caretakers when they needed someone for Simba to grow up with.

27. T/F: Maui is a character in Māori and Hawai’ian mythology, but not any other Polynesian cultures.

A: False. Maui appears in Māori, Hawai'ian, Tongan, Tahitian, Samoan and Mangarevan mythology.

28. How Many siblings does Hua Mulan have?

A: Two. She has an older sister and a younger brother. They were combined into Hua Xiu in the reboot, and aluded to in the original movie with Mulan’s dog being named Little Brother. Personally, I like the change of having her being an only child, it puts a lot of implicit pressure on her that she is the ONLY one who can make her family proud and guarantee them a future. However, I also like middle kid rep so lol

29. T/F: Gaston was more sympathetic in the original fairytale.

A: False. Gaston did not exist in the original fairytale. The antagonists were Belle’s two wicked sisters.

30. Final Question. Which of the following was an actual original story, and NOT based on a pre-existing book, fairytale, myth, etc.?

A: Brother Bear was not based on anything pre-existing, though it did of course draw inspiration from Inuit culture. The other movies listed are Song of the South (based on the Uncle Remus stories), Bedknobs and Broomsticks (based on The Magic Bedknob; or, How to Become a Witch in Ten Easy Lessons and the following Bedknobs and Broomsticks), Fun and Fancy Free was based on Bongo and Mickey and the Beanstalk; Frankenweenie is ofc a Frankenstein adaptation but also based on an early Burton short film; and Oliver & Company was based on Oliver Twist.

"Hawks the villain whisperer!" oml no no please, that moment really was the highlight of the deku angst arc because everything else sucked. here we have jeanist and endeavor just shrugging and going "what don't you understand Hawks? All Might clearly said-" and Hawks going "yeah well, there's still something bugging me!" All Might himself knows nothing about AFO's motives. He only knows how OFA works and that AFO hates his guts so he went after Nana's grandson to tarnish his legacy and hurt All Might. Dude wants to steal OFA? Okay plain and simple. But Hawks goes "NO!! NOT PLAIN AND SIMPLE!! GOTTA ASK THE WHYS AND HOWS!!!" And he figures it out with the barest of intels.

I can't get over how much of a leap in logic it is to say "okay just an impression I get, but consider: what if afo has no hatred? yeah he's the big bad villain so OBVIOUSLY he must have a lot of hate. those guys are always going grrr and hating heroes, he must have a lot of hate after chasing his brother for years, BUT I DONT THINK HE DOES!! HE HAS NONE!!" and the implications of that are incredibly horrifying because what makes Joker scary is his signature description as "the man who laughs" what makes AFO even more horrifying is that he doesn't have a simple, understandable personality as a hateful villain. No, instead Hawks just told them out right AFO caused the worst crisis in human history, all while laughing with no actual negative feelings to motivate the actions he took. He just DOES IT like the Demon Lord really, truly is like a kid having fun on the playground. What are to do against that when the enemy is on such a different page from normal villains? And it's subtly implying AFO's motive is a possessive love that they all got dragged into so there's no simple solution to solving that mess either. AFO sometimes gets this weird, dazed and dreamy look when he talks about destroying the future of the world like it's a great dream he sighs fondly over, and it's horrifying because he's treating everything like a real-life comic book he gets to write out however he wants, everyone else are just expendable actors he can use however he wants and this is all apparent in how little he feels hatred. If only he had hatred in his heart, he wouldn't be so casual and laughing easily at everything even when he gets beaten here and there. He's not taking things seriously, he's playing out his fantasy. The heroes will always be desperate against that. You can't take advantage of the emotions of a villain when said villain has no negative emotions and is just laughing and smiling no matter what happens. You can't reach into the core of what made them that way, because they just are. So yeah, someone make Hawks a villain interpreter or something. He's damn good at it.

Hawks showing once again he wants to look beyond just heroes and villains and see what actually makes them tick. To many, AFO just needs to be taken down with no deeper look into him and his actions but for Hawks, he wanted to understand the man behind the actions because a lot of the time when you understand your opponent you can then predict their next moves.

It's another thing I love about Hawks.

Oh??? Now you get it??? Tell me more >:3c

FEAR

ok just absolutely wild thoughts with no order bc id need to do like a reread first for that BUT

1- we hoped First’s first appearance would be, you know, seeing his husband again but NOPE he’s down in the depths and shadows and covered in chains

2- he’s not the one ‘trapped’ down there, he says, but something tells me he can’t really leave either... duty or w/e

3- i dont think second knows he’s down there?? at least not all the details. Something tells me Suno didn’t tell him. The other holders apparently cant even go that deep, so it was probably one of those heroic moments

4- First ripped Izuku from the memory of Third’s, but i don’t think he knew exactly *who* was in those memories? but then again none of the others can go that deep so who else would it have been? unless they can only go that deep when they’re remembering but then as soon as First tears them out they go back up?? what is he doing down there playing life guard??

5- the chains are either holding down afo, or nana, or toshi and/or izuku’s partially formed vestige bc letting them free in the mindscape would overwhelm their living brains. afo seems like the most obvious right answer but....

6- or, and here’s where my scattered brain completely looses it, its like the chain equivlinat of the cat getting tangled up in yarn. Suno’s holding on to their kitty’s soul down there bc he’s too attached to not try and break the rules

7- actually First should come back possessing a cat when he leaves and sees Second again,,, its like the wedding gift get it,,, i think it would be sweet and also he’s banking on the fact that you can’t yell at a kitty for doing something dangerous/lonely without telling anyone very well.

8- man i really need to do a full reread too many thoughts that can probably be disproven with that v simply

9- the knives and the violin tie into this somehow i just have to figure it out. hm.

#the violin in particular is grabbing my brain right now but hm #really tho what is first doing down there #we thought it would be lovely but instead it was another riddle #which honestly yeah probably should have expected that still but #owlf45 #pocket talks to people

edgelord theory dont look too hard

i have a bunch of stuff floating around in my brain, but this is like a very messy one - what if we just....underestimated what the HPSC did to Hawks?

I’m very struck by the line “who takes care of the heroes” Uraraka spoke - especially when there’s discussions of heroes disappearing in vigilantes. Of course it makes it sound like there’s a witness protection, but then we see Keigo and Jeanist...

If Jeanist is dead, and it would be smart to kill him, Hawks...didn’t hesitate. I’m pretty sure the HSPC would have been fine with Jeanist dying; if it wasn’t for Hawks trying to fool the League, they would have ruled it a natural death to quiet down anxieties, but the League wasn’t supposed to know the HPSC is behind Hawks.

Hawks is ....very proficient at killing. He’s also trained in subterfuge and avoiding vitals, but also knowing what is fatal. The idea of ‘special heroes’ - he doesn’t act like a hero. Unlike Miruko who clearly doesn’t want to hold back, Hawks is... just trained to get the job. He wasn’t trained to only be a hero; there’s something more going on here.

@dykehawks and @comradetodoroki all kind of helped me bounce around idea, and dykehawks specifically mentioned the lots of falconry imagery in Hawks (which I absolutely agree with). The blindfold is common among training raptors (like hawks) to obey; and of course, they’re trained specifically to fetch prey. Raptors trained this way are kind of rewarded with food; Hawks’ fixation on food is kind of a very apparent part of his character since he’s very much outspoken on food in both the main and spin off manga, and as a neglected child, perhaps food was part of his training? Much like a raptor; a reward was food?

(It reminds me a lot of Crona in Soul Eater, and I’ve always gotten those vibes whenever the HPSC came up)

Anyway, this is a very edgy theory but the main part is this; the HSPC has...some pipeline. Maybe Hawks is the prototype. Maybe not. But there’s kids from disadvantaged backgrounds, or ill children, they use. Maybe not to the extent Hawks was, but they make use of the children. Maybe some go to hero schools to spy on others (theory in-coming!), and maybe some are trained in helping retired heroes in their retirement.

The worst thing for a hero society is to have old hasbeens who can sway conversations one way or another, who can be openly resentful of the system and not feed of it. We don’t see any *super* famous old heroes. Gran seemed to be lowkey, and for a reason, given his involvement with Nana. Yoroimusha is the oldest still active. I’m a little too lazy to dig up pictures of how odd this is in Vigilantes, but it is odd how heroes disappear.

And... maybe the HPSC has cleaners. People they train to go after older heroes, or people causing trouble. People no one would really be wary of. Kids. Maybe it’s a way of training those cleaners for better things.

Idk??? this is me just throwing out ideas - I think it’s just likely that we’ve been so focused on Hawks being a failure in all terms as a hero that we never considered he was never one, technically. I maintain the only ‘mistake’ Dabi made with Hawks is not ‘not trusting him because heroes are all scum’ but assuming Hawks played by the rules heroes do; no one expected Hawks to kill Twice. Except, of course, Hawks.

this would move the HPSC to be the main villains; and I do think they might be -especially if AFO has fingers in that pie, somehow.

yo do tell us about harmonization. i never really cared for the concept tbh i think because i dont really read many fanfics with the sky users (oops) so it doesnt come up often but i am curious to your opinion

Hoo boy I have a lot of thoughts and I’m gonna put it in a read more. Not just for length, but because I do feel like this concept is deeply flawed and I have strong opinions on it

For people who don’t know, harmonization is a fanon interpretation of how the sky flame’s attribute of “harmony” interacts with the other flames. Other flames can “harmonize” with the sky and create a flame bond, to the point where they can all feel each other’s physical/emotional pain or even hear each other’s thoughts. It can vary from author to author but these are the main themes and it’s a surprisingly very widespread thing.

▲ My main issue with it is the extreme codependency that happens between the sky and other flames. It just seems manipulative that because of this bond, you can’t ever leave the sky user, or doing so puts you both in excruciating pain. Even if I think most of Tsuna’s friends are loyal as hell by their own will, people can change and leave you, that’s a part of life. Harmonization takes away that agency and automatically makes the dynamic really unhealthy.

▲ The above point is even worse when they physically can’t be away from each other. Some fics have it so Lambo can’t have other friends?? These characters are all kids and I think this would fuck them up pretty hard developmentally, not to mention a majority of the authors writing these are adults and the theme of possessiveness is so creepy. Like some characters will tell each other “you have to stay with us/me for your safety” and that’s just, not great??

▲ A huge part of KHR is showing how Tsuna develops positive relationships with the people around him, including anyone who isn’t a guardian. I think this concept really undermines his friendships outside of that circle (with Basil, Kyoko, Haru, Enma, etc). It’s like no matter how hard he tries to connect with other people outside of the fucking bond, it doesn’t count as a meaningful relationship.

▲ Another thing that rubs me the wrong way is that the guardians are drawn to Tsuna because of his powerful flames. Again, this also goes against the basis of KHR. Tsuna isn't some powerful badass that people are crawling over themselves to talk with. He's just an average kid who gets bullied. The reason all his guardians are so loyal to him is because he earned their trust by making real connections to them. They've gone through so much together that they're genuinely really close friends because of that, not because of some kind of supernatural property.

▲ I feel like there’s also a huge issue with consent where they can’t choose who they bond with. It’s a fated thing apparently. I’ve heard of a lot of abhorrent fics where Nana was forced to be with Iemitsu because of this and the content is pretty genuinely disgusting.

▲ It's not great how a lot of fics make it so the guardians are the only people that matter to one another. They don't have a life outside of Tsuna at all. At best it makes for bland characterization and at worst no one should rely on one person so heavily.

▲ This is a weaker point because we make fics to deviate from canon but I feel that it’s worth noting: it’s confirmed in canon that flames have no definite correlation to personality. If anything, it’s mainly their role in fights/a group. There are no set rules. It’s like zodiac signs, everyone has one and there are traits associated with them, but they don’t define your entire person. I get why people want to play with the correlation concept because flames are sick as hell but doing that by creating harmonization where it’s so absolutely ingrained in their existence is just... weird.

▲ Harmonization is usually paired with really weird flame lore. Like, they assign personality traits to the flames that are really extreme and just not how the character actually functions. One example is that cloud is supposedly very possessive and territorial, and they make Hibari act like a fucking animal and describe it as pack bond and that's weird as fuck. In the worse fics, it's really just an excuse to have ABO without making it an ABO fic. With minors. It’s so instinctual and animalistic???

▲ There's this whole thing about having one of each flame type to complete the set and feel whole I guess, which is already weird but also contradictory to canon. Tsuna has two mists and Xanxus doesn't have a cloud at all. Did Xanxus flame bond with the robot being powered by his adoptive father? What's going on there.

▲ There are cases where characters will use Rain flames to calm down a sad or angry person. In theory sounds fine, but usually in these fics the other person didn’t consent to it. It’s emotionally manipulative and you’re basically just sedating them. There is no communication going on and it’s treated like it’s a good thing and that the rain user is being helpful. In fact, there’s rarely any good communication in these fics at all. People just use their flames to do everything because they’re such a overwhelmingly big focus.

▲ Harmonization fics often seem like an excuse to put Tsuna in pain by losing everyone he cares about, and it ends up being more deeply uncomfortable than angsty or fun to read.

▲ WHAT THE FUCK IS A FLAME WOMB?? FLAME CHILDREN??? FLUSSY????????? WHAT THE FUCK ILL TAKE YOUR LIFE

#khr #katekyo hitman reborn #THIS GOT SO LONG WHOOPS #apologies if I got redundant #a lot of these points relate to each other #i just... really don't like it #don't even fucking come at me with the 'youre overracting with fiction'#hibari just really takes the brunt of it i think #hes not an animal hes not gonna start talking about caves and hunting and shit #yes ive read a fic where they made him do that #i hid an answer in the illusion #Anonymous

boyfriend!jaemin

oh my gosh boyfriend nana is 💝💝

jaemin is known to be a big fLIRT, so during the days before y'all dated he be flirty as hell.

to everyone but mainly you, yk that feeling where someone likes you but you feel like you’re being self absorbed ? yeah you felt that emotion towards jaemin.

like he was flirty with everyone else too, what makes you special ?

but anyways, both of you were oblivious and obvious that there was something going on between you too.

i feel like nana is the type of person to actually confess in like games such as truth or dare.

so imma roll with it

the confession! + first kiss

you were at a college party with people you mainly know, so it was pretty much tamed for the most part. and y'all were playing spin the bottle on the diner table.

but no kissy kissy only truth or dare because we are a child of god 🥰 (if you’re an atheist whoops)

the bottle lands on jaemin, and the whole gang be smirking. plan a coming inTO ACTION !!

they all love y'all but sometimes,,, you guys are just dumb and your friends are loosing brain cells by each second. so they planned this :D

jeno being the one who spun the bottle, asked the punchline to which nana replies with dare,,

oooh spicy, okay i’ll stop-

jeno mentally have an cute evil laugh

“kiss and confess your crush.” jeno said simply.

jaemin shoots glares at all of his friends, he knew that they planned this. seeing as they are all high-five jeno.

even though jaemin was busy glaring at mainly jeno, he starts fiddiling with his fingers obviously nervous.

jaemin gets his courage together and goes up to the opposite side of the circle where you were.

you didn’t notice him coming since you were lost in your thoughts, ‘nana? having a crush? he never told me?’ you stopped thinking as you suddenly noticed jaemin close to your face, a few centimeters apart.

“are you okay me kissing you?” jaemin asked.

because consent is cute y'all !!

you nodded your head without thinking, causing jaemin to smile cutely before closing the gap.

the kiss was sweet, jaemin’s lips gave you the taste of the party’s punch near the kitchen.

jaemin broke the kiss when he heard whistles and howling from the people playing the game. much to his disliking of pulling his lips apart from you.

“nOW CONFESS ! DONT FORGET ABOUT THAT PART !” hyuck reminded jaemin, to which jaemin sighed at his loud friends.

“so (name)..” jaemin trailed off hesitantly, ignoring donghyuck’s comment.

“you don’t need to answer right away but i like you, and i didn’t expect to confess to you at a party but yeah.” jaemin laughed now realizing the situation.

without letting you give him an answer, he ran back to his spot letting the game continue on.

apparently, jaemin’s friends weren’t happy enough with that. so after a few rounds, it was park jisung’s turn to spin the bottle landing on the person next to you, shuahua. one of your friends.

not happy with the results, chenle knocks the table with his knee. chenle hisses in pain acting as if he didn’t do it on purpose.

now the bottle lands on you.

“truth or dare, (name).” jisung quickly said before jaemin caught on what their plan b was.

unlike jaemin’s bold decision choosing dare, you chose truth. slightly scared on what jisung would say after their shenanigan earlier.

“do you like anyone?” jisung asked, renjun lightly smacked jisung’s arm, it was a vauge question. jisung realized why renjun was smacking his arm and hastily corrected himself:

“-DO YOU LIKE JAEMIN THAT’S WHAT I MEAN!” jisung yelled out loud, jaemin face palmed at the stupidity.

“uh,” you didn’t know how to answer, also confused.

“yeah?”

first date!

jaemin quickly after asked you out since that party and you obviously said yes, flustered.

i can see roller skating dates or bowling, augh that would be so cute.

you two would get your sizes and head to the rink after putting the shoes on.

now since you two are complete KLUTZ, both of you guys would fall every now and then. jaemin would hold on to both of your hands trying to keep yourself and himself steady.

the people around you guys would be awing on how cute that situation would be, and who wouldn’t awe about jaemin

and after getting tired, you two would get the pizza that the roller rink sells. and just imagine 80’s-90’s aesthetic lights on jaemin.

i liVE for aesthetics.

and nana being the photographer (and maybe you) be taking so many pictures oh my gosh. i think this would be my first ideal date-

first time saying 'i love you’

jaemin is a simple affectionate boi, just imagine staying in one of y'all’s place just cuddling.

you guys would be watching a random movie. you would almost fell asleep due to jaemin’s warmth and comfortable clothes with a blanket on top of both jaemin and you.

just as your conscious is about to go, you feel jaemin kissing your forehead and whispering “i love you.”

AHHHHHHHHH

conclusion !

overall, you two would be rlly cute together.

nana is a very affectionate person so just imagine you would be talking to one of your friends and he would pull away just to hug you.

i feel like he would get jealous in a cute way though, like let’s say you’re hanging out with hwang hyunjin and nana would be all pouty that you’re giving him more attention.

not that scary type though, he trusts you enough to be with other people. it’s just as more of a fun joking way.

and pls give him all of your love and attention then he’ll be a happy boi :D

#holy frick #this was longer than expected #totally did not write this in 4 am #nct #na jaemin #na jaemin imagines #nct fluff #nct dream #nct na jaemin #nct nana #nct imagines #nct dream fluff #nct dream imagines #nct scenarios #na jaemin fluff #na jaemin scenarios

(on my bullshit al;djkf;slkjd)

i've been feeling nostalgic as of late and was thinking about re-watching a drama i already watched

it was between love o2o and rookie historian

i got tagged by @bourgeoix to Tell Me Good Things That Happened This Year (last year now i guess) so here are some top 5s of mine from 2020 under the cut!

this will be difficult because i have absolutely no sense of time and don’t know when i did anything this year but i’ll do my best

movies i watched: (i did have to look up what movies came out in 2020 for this lmao)

emma. (2020) was the last movie i saw in theaters god bless

finally watched someone great this december at my sister’s suggestion and it made me cry!!

almost forgot that the half of it came out in 2020 but oh my god what a good fucking movie (and if you liked the half of it go watch saving face too!! alice wu is a great fucking director and saving face is one of my faves)

i’m like 90% sure i watched parasite this year? anyway it was great & i gotta watch more bong joon ho movies

i really did not watch that many movies this year huh.

oh wait fuck i forgot about the old guard & enola holmes, which ill group here together as a pair of refreshing action/adventure movies that i really enjoyed!

tv shows i watched:

harlots!! on this blog we love 1) women 2) period dramas 3) charlotte wells in particular

oh i think this year i finally rewatched all of atla! i saw almost every episode as a kid (normally several times and not necessarily in order) and even tho i remembered the show really well it was really cool to see it altogether! and find out i had missed watching TWO whole episodes as a kid

great pretender, but i mostly just liked the first season. fucking gorgeous show overall tho even if it kinda loses its balance thematically in the last arc

queen’s gambit (this is truly the year of my giant crush on anya taylor joy huh)

unsure if this technically counts as television but i got very into dimension 20 this year! especially fantasy high, but i’m also working my way through unsleeping city and crown of candy right now, just very good dnd actual play stuff overall

songs i listened to: (this is not my actual top 5 songs on spotify wrapped bc that’s embarrassing, more like my faves of the year)

ambrosia by rosie tucker

boreas by the oh hellos

i know the end by phoebe bridgers

high in the garden by sorcha richardson

nana triste by natalia lacunza & guitarricadelafuente

books i read:

earthsea! i think i started these this year, i’m currently on the farthest shore & genuinely all of them are so good, stan ursula le guin

the priory of the orange tree by samantha shannon!! yes this book is like 800 pages yes i did read half of it in like a week. i also didnt realize there was gonna be so many gays goin in and boy was i extremely pleasantly surprised

obligatory inclusion of a reading i did for class, but la vida es sueño by calderón de la barca honestly kinda kicks ass, i did a whole paper on one the soliloquies in there and the verse is just good y’all

oh also gender trouble by judith butler which i read a good bit of for my theory class and lives rent free in my brain at this point

uncensored picture of dorian grey by oscar wilde, which im like 90% sure i read early this year and not last year, but time doesnt exist who cares really. love that fucking prose tho, and i think the themes are more clear with the inclusion of basil as an explicitly gay character tbh

good things that happened to me:

got into grad school??? and started grad school???

related, but i wrote a 17 page term paper somehow too, which is a thing i apparently can do now

and i moved across the country and live in an apartment now! and i have so many plants! and a full size bed! and a desk and a bookshelf!

oh shit i almost forgot this was the year i finally got an adhd diagnosis! and now im all medicated and shit its fucking amazing

and i’ve started writing a lot more! not just papers for class and stuff, but also some more fiction which maybe i’ll actually finish one day lmao

uhhhhhhhhh idk who to tag since i dont interact much on here much anymore, how about @romanarcadia @waitingforgalois @equalseleventhirds @yourladybrie @starsighns and literally anyone else who wants in u can say i tagged u :)

#txt #ari adventures #feels weird since i rarely post my actual thoughts and opinions on this blog lmao #dont think i ever posted about going to grad school either? whoops

watching riverdale's newest episode so y'all don't have to (:

- vernonica or whatever her name is speaks nonsense gibberish like fuck she looks 30 how is she supposed to be in highschool

- archie's died hair is SO bad

- whyyyy are they sexualizing highschoolers bro

- are the actors who play the parents on this show being blackmailed this can't be good for their career

- anyways mini-rant over time for the content

- tapes of recorded outside people's houses have been delivered to their doorsteps kinda creepy ngl

- mr. honey (the principle i think) is pretty sketchy im guessing they're going to elaborate on that

- archie owns a whole-ass boxing ring at age 17/18 tf

- veronica still uses the term "bff"

- jughead seems like he would run a cringe tumblr blog

- sorry back to plot

- there's a prom happening because of there is it's a highschool show

- cheryl seems like she's plotting something but i dont know what lmao

- archie and veronica are sharing a hotel room together alone because of course they are and their parents don't care and what is this show

- archie is going to box another jock stereotype

- betty's brother sold his sex tapes to a local video store thing

- jughead says he has a friend named "warbaby" and then there was dramatic music

- betty's brother in JAIL

- like actually

- i just didn't process that before

- betty and jughead's shared half-brother (yes ew) works for the fbi and may or may not be plotting against them or something

- archie making a sidebet with jock dudebro on who will win boxing match

- stereotypical workout montage that im guessing the take away of is that archie is stronger than dudebro

- archie ironically says "your ass is grass"

- oh yes jughead's sister's name is jellybean and i really hope that's them just trying to be true to the comics because that is truly unfortunate

- cheryl says she needs a disguise and she puts on a ratched wig that looks like her hair and she literally looks the same

- LMFAO I FORGOT VERONICS OWNS A SPEAKEASY WHAT IS THIS FUCKING SHOW

- there's singing

- ohhhh shit already they're singing

- veronica is singing the song that archie wrote for betty this is awk

- dudebro is the boyfriend of one of the characters from the spinoff show

- archie is acting distant to veronica

- cheryl just said "din din"

- i think there are no adults in cheryl's bigass house it just like. her and her ancient grandma(??)

- dudebro is sleeping in archie's room gayyyyy

- "goodnight bro"

- kevin is gay stereotype but only when they need him to be

- not from this episode but jsut wanted to bring up the fact that there was a subplot in previous episodes where kevin made pornos but there wasn't sex in the pornos it was just like,, highschoolers tickling each other while partially clothed. yeah.

- apparently cheryl's girlfriend has parents lmfao they must not care ab her because she basically lives at cheryl's house even though she is 17 but whatever

- poor lilli reinhart how much are they paying her to do this show

- video store clerk definitely is involved in the video tapes i think

- betty gives clerk guy a video of her dad for some reason

- oh yeah he was a serial killer i forgot lmao

- they have a film festival called "film society" where they're playing betty's video of her dad

- they are playing the tickling video at film society what

- archie is getting whacked by dudebro

- bunch of people in masks in a room and jughead is just straight up asking them if they made the tapes fantastic exposition

- 2011 rave music

- jellybean is at film society lololol

- dudebro won boxing match but i still don't get why this is important other than to make him relevant to the plot oh wait that's exactly why they added this

-ughhhh i can barely sit through thiissss

- why do they always order milkshakes and then never drink them ):

- cheryl's nana is only good character i have decided

- archie can't go to naval academy bc he cursed out judge

- why are they obsessed with the word endgame

- didn't cole sprouse and lilli reinhart break up this prom scene must be so awkward

- i bet so much money somebody is going to ruin prom somehow

- why are the parents at prom tf

- veronica is going to defer barnard college for (pt 2)

#riverdale sucks #riverdale #betty cooper #archie andrews #veronica lodge #jughead jones

Pairing: Bucky Barnes x reader

Word count: 4.6k

Warnings: Cursing

Summary: Saturdays are not for housing superheroes, and you don’t care if one of them is your army buddy and the other a cyborg who, okay, is kinda cute when he’s not clutching his twitching arm like it’s his goddamn teddybear. So of course, your tiny house becomes a tiny superhero central.

Author clues: An occasional angst queen with a sweet tooth who lives in a very fine country.

Generally, when the phone rings in the middle of the night, it’s never good news. It’s death and mayhem and all manners of misdeeds just waiting to ruin your night, your morning and possibly the entire week that follows. Your solution had been to move around a lot. If you never stay long enough in one place, then death and mayhem and all those misdeeds never get a chance to catch up with you. Unless-

“Someone better be dying,” you grunt when you answer, not bothering with greetings or pleasantries. Anyone calling at, fuck, 3.22 am can frankly go fornicate themselves.

“I need your coordinates.”

“No.”

“Come on, I promise, it’s just for the night.”

“Last time you said that, Wilson, you stayed for a week and Captain America bled all over my couch.”

At the other end of a very unstable line - is he fucking flying and calling? - Sam winces, because yeah, last time was a fucking rollercoaster of bad, and you ended up moving as soon as they were out the door and refusing to answer Sam’s texts for two weeks just to be sure you could get some actual peace and quiet.

“No one is bleeding. Much.”

“Sam…”

“I swear on my sainted nana’s grave no one will be bleeding when we get there.”

We? Jesus, did someone shoot Captain America again? You groan and roll over, pressing your face into the pillow.

“It’s just one night, I swear, we just need someplace to lay low before we can move on and haul ass back to base.”

You hate Sam Wilson. You do, you’ll put it in writing, you’ll write a goddamn op ed for the fucking New York Times listing all the reasons he is a terrible, terrible friend. All you wanted was a nice, quiet life, a little time to figure shit out after an honorable discharge from the Army, and then that idiot had to go and become a goddamn superhero with his goddamn wings and the goddamn Avengers as his goddamn squad. He owes you. He owes you so much and he’ll owe you even more- Aw, fuck.

“I’ll give you twelve hours before I kick you out on your asses.”

“You are the best, I’ve always said that, you know. The best. The goat-”

“Please, never call me that again.”

“Sourpuss.”

“I’ll bill you for anything you destroy,” you mutter, ending the call before Sam can say anything.

Rolling over on your back again, you breathe in deeply through your nose, staring at the light ceiling panelling. Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. You text Sam your coordinates, telling him where to find the spare key because you draw the line at getting up to act as a welcome committee at this unholy hour.

>>Thanks, I owe you one. S

>>U owe me several. Don’t expect mints on the pillows and dont. fuckin. wake me. >:(

>>You’re adorable when you’re cranky. We’ll be there in about an hour.

>>Fuk u

Sam Wilson is a terrible, terrible friend, but at least he doesn’t actually wake you. He’s even up and looking far too chirpy when you crawl down from your sleep loft four hours later. Seriously, fuck Sam Wilson. Fuck Sam Wilson, and-

“I like your digs.” He hands you a cup of coffee and thankfully does not attempt a hug.

“Yeah, well, makes running away from unbidden houseguests easy,” you grunt back, taking a sip of the glorious coffee.

Sam snorts, pouring himself a cup of coffee. “As if you could fit actual houseguests in here. You’re lucky I spent half my childhood playing Tetris, or we would’ve had a problem getting in here.”

You glance over his shoulder, at the blanket-covered lump on your couch. Granted, the damn thing is from IKEA and required at least five curse words for every step in the assembly instructions, but the covering is a nice, pale shade of beige. “So who’s bleeding all over my place this time?”

“No one’s bleeding, I patched ‘im up just to preemptively get you off my ass.”

“So he was bleeding. That why you needed to crash?”

The way Sam hesitates makes it clear that blood loss is not the culprit here. You glare at him, and Sam Awful Terrible Friend Wilson rolls his eyes at you and walks past you and up to the couch, pulling down the covers.

“That’s…” You stare. There’s no better way to put it. “Sam, he’s- Why is his arm detached? Why is it wriggling?”

“We had a minor snafu. Barnes got dosed with something and it made his arm go a little haywire. It’s wired into his nervous system, so we had to do an emergency detachment until the thing is out of his system so he won’t helicopter himself into the sky or, you know, hurt anyone.”

“So why is it still twitching like a zombie limb? Please, don’t tell me he’s turning into a zombie. I can’t deal with a zombie apocalypse. I use Zombies! Run, but that’s the closest I ever want to come to the undead because even with that I fucking jump out of my skin when I start hearing heavy breathing in my ears and-”

“He’s not turning into a zombie, jeez!” Sam tosses the covers back in place, covering up Barnes and the twitchy arm. “It’s still receiving faint signals, so it’s acting like a nervous grandma. It’s completely harmless. Ha! I gotta remember that one when he wakes up.”

Jesus H. Christ. Where is a brick wall when you need one? “Sam!”

“Stark’s coming to pick us up in two hours, we’ll be out of your hair. We’ll even take the arm with us.”

You give an indignant sniff, heading back to the little ladder that leads up to your loft. “Fuck you, Wilson, I’m going back to bed and won’t come down until you and Terminator over there are out of my house.”

“Aw, come on! We’re delightful! Look, Barnes is even more delightful because he is asleep so you won’t even have to deal with him being Mr. Personality!”

You could tell him that from your perspective, Barnes is the preferable option in this situation because he is asleep and thus not bothering you. Instead, you opt for a succinct reply in the form of your middle finger and start to ascend the ladder, coffee mug tightly gripped in one hand. Saturdays are holy, okay? Saturdays are for waking up late, having coffee and then crawling back to your bed where the covers are still warm and just wait for the sun to rise high enough in the sky that you’re tempted to go outside. Saturdays are not for housing superheroes, and you don’t care if one of them is your army buddy and the other a cyborg who, okay, is kinda cute when he’s not clutching his twitching arm like it’s his goddamn teddybear.

To be fair, Sam cuts out his little comedian act, and shuts up. There’s the odd shuffling from below, but nothing more, and you manage to doze off, wrapped like a burrito in your covers. It’s almost enough to make you forget that you have houseguests.

Until Sam pinches your toe.

“Hey, sleepyhead,” he whispers, shaking your foot and you’re surprised you don’t kick him in the face.

“Piss off.”

“Delightful. We’re rolling out in five. I told Stark to bring you some decent breakfast as thanks.”

Well. Breakfast is an acceptable offering. There better be waffles, or you might need to kick Stark. With a grunt, you start extricating yourself from your covers, rooting around until you find a cardigan to wrap yourself in. Sam’s by the couch when you get down, ripping the covers from Sleeping Barnes and shaking his shoulder.

“Hey, Princess Elsa, our ride’s almost here.”

Barnes, who seems to appreciate sleeping as much as you do, tries to turn over and away from the rude awakening, but apparently manages to tickle himself on the detached arm, because the man gives a very high-pitched yelp before he very ungracefully tumbles off the couch and lands on his ass.

“Morning, Barnes.”

“Fuck you, Wilson,” Barnes grumbles with a glare that is… impressive.

“There’s coffee if you can inhale it in the next five minutes,” Sam tells him, shrugging of his umpteenth cuss-out in the last six hours.

“Bring… coffee…”

You’re not a rude host. Unwilling, but not rude. Coffee is a glorious drink, and you would never deny anyone the elixir of Life and General Functionality. You pour a cup for the man, bringing it to him, and Barnes stares at you, then at Sam, then takes a second to look around, mouth slowly falling open.

“Wilson, I think I’m-”

“What? You still not sobered up from the funky gas?”

“Either that, or I fell through the looking glass. Am I gonna grow and have my legs sprout through the window? Because that is not good,” Barnes says, gulping down his coffee and then peering up at you. “I’m not sure if you’re real, but either way, I have very impressive thighs. Hi, I’m Bucky”

He fires off a smile that is probably meant to look charming, but only succeeds in looking loopy. Sam, finally getting a fraction of the embarrassed he should be for dragging himself and this crazy ass man into your home, groans and facepalms. It is hilarious.

“Sam, I hate to say this, but I like this guy.”

“Sam, the hallucination is talking to you.”

“I’m not a hallucination,” you tell him, leaning down to pinch his left shoulder. “It’s a tiny house, made even tinier because yikes, you are built.”

Barnes, Bucky, yelps and his coffee sloshes dangerously against the edges of his mug.

“Well, that just seems very unfair to me. And Steve. Oh, jeez, and Bruce. Do you have anything against swole?”

“First of all, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it, and second of all, if you’re Bucky Barnes then I’d very much like to know who the fuck taught you the word ‘swole’.”

Bucky Barnes, the most handsome centenarian in the entire world, is a delight, all smiles and jokes, and Sam is terrible for dragging him away. A godawful wind kicks up outside, heralding the arrival of Tony Stark, and you decide this is way too many superheroes. One is acceptable. Two is pushing it. Bucky, having realized he has in fact not shrunk, takes his time looking around while they head out and ends up clipping his head and oh, how people would blush if they heard the downright filth that Sergeant James B. Barnes lets out as he stumbles down the stairs.

Stark makes a joke about custody exchanges, and you tune out more than half because he brought breakfast, and oh sweet Mary above, there are waffles. Sam and Bucky say their goodbyes, and you wave them off, too engrossed in the gorgeousness of waffles drenched in maple syrup and topped with fresh berries. For this, you could almost be okay with a superhero or two crashing for a night.

Not that you’ll ever be.

You have limits.

So of course, your tiny house becomes a tiny superhero central. First it’s Sam, again. Then it’s Stark. He almost gets his ass kicked out when he goes on and on about how you can live with the bare minimum of technology. You definitely kick him out when he wants to chip your house so people won’t have to call you at the asscrack of dawn to let you know, not ask, they are incoming. He does get back in your good graces by giving you a double serving of waffles.

Then, in quick succession, it’s Steve, Sam and Rhodey, Bucky, Barton and Bucky again. Most of them are okay house guests. Barton wins points by appearing genuinely interested in how you’ve set up your living space, quizzing you about layouts and building and the pros and cons of having your entire life confined to 240 square feet. He also loses those points when you wake up to find him sitting on the edge of the sleep loft, overlooking the house. Sam and Rhodey together is not as big of a disaster as one might think, mainly because Rhodey occasionally pulls rank on Sam and honestly? Thank god. Steve, bless him, tries to bend over backwards to not put you out, and his calls all include at least 75 permutations of an apology for calling.

Bucky.

He keeps his arm in place for the next couple of times. On the rare occasions when he’ll call in the middle of the day, he��ll always knock and wait until you open, he’ll insist on “earning his keep”, which is how you come to be the recipient of flowers, breakfast, and a very rare bathroom concerto that Bucky doesn’t know you overheard. The man has a very good singing voice, and it makes your heart skip a beat when he croons “It’s Been a Long, Long Time”. He’s the easiest to get along with, even one early morning when you wake up to his shuffling and cussing because your coffee maker refuses to cooperate. He doesn’t mind the quiet, doesn’t fret around like Stark (who insists that the laptop loaded with every streaming service imaginable and the usernames and passwords for each laid out on a sticky note that he left there is absolutely not a pity gift but a sound investment for both of your continued sanity).

“D’you like this?” Bucky asks one evening, his voice floating up from the living room area.

“I mean, it could be worse. I could be housing Stark for the night,” you quip, rolling over and making something that might be construed as a tumble to get to the edge of the bed.

“I feel like that might have been an insult wrapped in another insult. But that’s not what I meant.”

You can only see Bucky’s feet in the soft light of a lamp, peeking out from the covers. He always sleeps with his feet facing the door, always on his back. The only time he hasn’t was the first time when Sam brought him, and something in you feels bad that Bucky can’t relax even in his sleep.

“No?”

“I meant… this. Living in a small box. Moving around all the time. It’s… Doesn’t it ever get hard? After I got- When I got back, Steve almost had to fight me to move into the Tower. I wanted to go home, you know. To Brooklyn. I don’t know, it was a stupid thought, but I kept thinking if I go back, it’s all still there. The apartment we lived in, the same streets and the same shops and… my family. It felt weird to make another home, but now I don’t know if I could move again.”

His voice is soft, a far cry from the persona he’s portrayed as in the media. The Winter Soldier is hard edges and cold steel, but Bucky Barnes… Bucky Barnes is soft, a whisper in the darkness and a longing for something that’s no longer there.

“It wasn’t that hard for me, because I needed this. I was out there, in all of that big space with nothing but orders and trusting that someone else knew what we were supposed to do. I’d had a place back in Atlanta before, and I’d packed up all my stuff and rented the place to some college kids. They’d already moved out when I got back, and I thought I was gonna go nuts the first night back. That place had felt like a shoebox before I shipped out and now it was so… big. Had a friend who made these kinds of houses, so he helped me build one pretty much from scratch and my first night here I slept like a baby.”

“It’s not that I don’t like it.” God, he sounds almost a bit panicked, like he’s insulted you.

“No, I don’t mind. It’s not for everyone. I just feel I have myself better together on less than 300 square feet. I mean, I don’t go from house to house. This is still a home. It’s just a home I can move around with when I need to see new places.”

There’s a little huff. “Like the middle of nowhere, New Mexico?”

You glance back to the small window next to your bed, at the clouds tinted in burnt orange and vivid pink, the sun setting slowly into the vast horizon. “Yeah. I’ve never been here. I wanted to see it, and now I have.”

“You know, that sounds like I’m gonna wake up in the desert tomorrow morning because a bird is trying to steal my covers.”

“Don’t flatter yourself, Barnes,” you tease, crawling back to roll yourself into your own covers again. “I wouldn’t leave you with that blanket. It’s my favourite.”

“Yeah.” His voice is almost a whisper, but you can still make out his next words: “Mine, too.”

When he leaves the next morning, something feels different. He’s tentative at breakfast, burns a few pancakes and once again clips his head on the doorway heading out when Nat touches down the quinjet to pick him up. Breakfast changes hands, Nat fills you in on some gossip. Bucky’s shoulders are slumped when he trudges up and into the cargo hold.

“Wait!”

You run inside, depositing the bag of breakfast on your counter, grabbing the blanket from the couch and folding it into a mess that would pass exactly zero inspections before heading back out. Nat’s joined Bucky on the quinjet landing, and she quirks and eyebrow when you all but thrust the bunched up fabric into Bucky’s arms.

“A bit of home,” you blurt out, immediately feeling heat creep up your cheeks. “Can’t hurt to have more of that.”

Bucky chuckles, “No… I guess it can’t.”

You move three days later. The New Mexico desert makes you restless, makes you itch for something else. For a couple of weeks, you drift further and further north, looking for a place that doesn’t put you on edge. You plough through the Midwest, but there’s always something. You text Sam just to become annoyed and feel something else. He calls a couple of times, facetimes you on your birthday so the whole gang can wish you happy birthday. you smile, taking a screenshot to save the memory for a rainy day. They’re all there, sitting around an obscenely big dinner table, glasses raised, mouths open mid-sentence. Stark looks magnanimous as always, sunglasses perched on top of his head, Steve’s got an expression that’s somewhere between his Captain America-smile and a genuine Steve Rogers-grin. Bucky… Bucky is not there. Or at least you can’t see him. Maybe he’s at the very end of the table, obscured by the others. Not that you care. You don’t. You absolutely don’t. You definitely don’t look for him in the picture every time you bring it up.

You move again. It’s too calm. You’ve had no superheroes visiting in two months, no late night calls inquiring about coordinates. Stark’s laptop is shoved into a drawer where you can’t see it, there’s a new blanket draped over your couch pretending it’s always been there.

>>Coordinates?

The text from the unknown number comes in late one evening when you’re gearing up to let bygones be bygones and forget the Midwest ever existed. You could cry with how happy it makes you, even though a text means one or more of them is in trouble and maybe you should be a little worried, too. The Avengers are good people, but they’re not unlike cats, dragging others with them. Like murder bots and weird aliens. You dutifully send your coordinates, biting your lip before adding:

>>Don’t wake me, and don’t make me wake up to bad guys on my porch

>>They scare the neighbours

>>I have a reputation to think of

Your only neighbours are trees, but still. No one likes bad guys.

Setting your phone down, you tuck yourself into bed. Whoever’s coming knows where to find the key to get in. Stark, again, wanted to set you up with some biometric doohickey that would make it impossible for anyone not in the system to get in, since “keys are so unreliable, look at Parker, he could probably pick it after five minutes on youtube”. He stopped talking when you pointed out your house is a glorified box on wheels, and that there are far easier ways to get in than to pick the lock or even rush the door. You’d had to tell him he was not allowed to turn your house into a tank.

When the sun rises, waking you up with a well-placed ray right in your eyes, you expect to hear… something. Sam, Nat and Steve are all early wakers, there would be the telltale sounds and scents of breakfast being prepared. Tony, much as he tries to vehemently deny it, snores. God, is it Barton? You raise your head, and let out a sigh of relief to see the loft empty save for yourself and the sparse furnishings. Could still be Barton, he’s just learned to stay out of your nest and accept that he’s not top of the pecking order here.

But when you get down from your loft, there’s no one there. Blinking, you look around, as if whoever texted you last night will jump out from some impossible corner. The couch is untouched, everything is where you left it. Was it Bruce and he couldn’t de-Hulk so he slept outside? You check your phone to see if there are any unread text or missed calls, but there’s nothing.

>>Did you leave already?

The reply comes within seconds.

>>No. Outside.

So… Bruce? Furrowing your brow, you go pull a pair of sweats from the hamper, yawning wide before you head for the door. You’re not exactly sure what to expect, but finding the clearing you’ve set up camp in empty is… anticlimactic, to say the least.

“Hello?” you call out, stepping down the stairs, a shiver running down your spine from the cool morning air.

Nothing. The wind sighs in the tops of the trees, a crack from a branch breaking the calm. Ahead of you, something catches your eye, far too colourful to be part of the wooded area.

“What the hell?”

Folded neatly on the ground is your blanket, your old blanket, the one you gave to-

“Sam told me you’d been moving around a lot. Figured maybe you could need a bit more home.”

You yelp and whirl around to find Bucky sitting on the stairs, filling up the doorway and smiling smugly at you.

“How-” You look at him, then around at the clearing and back to Bucky, pointing at him. “You- What?”

“Sorry, I… thought it would be fun. It was creepy, wasn’t it?” He scratches the back of his head, getting of the stairs, approaching you slowly. “I wanted it to be a surprise.”

“Are you okay?” It’s second nature by now to give him a once-over, to expect bruises and scrapes and, let’s be honest, blood. Seeing nothing doesn’t necessarily mean he’s okay. These yahoos are notorious about playing off little things like internal bleedings, cracked ribs and concussions.

“What, no! I mean, yes, yes, I’m okay. I wasn’t in any scuffle. Haven’t been for a while. You can check me if you like.”

Pursing your lips, you look him up and down while you circle him, prodding at his ribs, his hands, his cheekbone. Satisfied that he’s not injured, you come to a stop in front of him.

“Not that I don’t enjoy seeing you again, but… why are you here?”

“Been travelling. Sort of like this, but without the… tiny house, was it? I thought about what you said, about home and all that, and I realized that maybe I need to reevaluate what home means. Going away to figure out what I miss and what I need.”

He raises his right hand to drag the fingertips along the soft blanket, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. It sounds cheesy as all hell, but your heart skips a beat, your breath catching in your throat, because he looks so content, so relaxed.

“Yeah? Did you find the answer then? What’s home?” you ask, cursing your voice for sounding breather than you ever intended it to.

“See, I packed light. Couple changes of clothes, toothbrush, the regular stuff… and this.” He takes a firm hold of the blanket with both hands, pulling it from you, shaking it out. “And I missed a lot of things in the beginning. People… things… comforts. But I learned to make do without all of those. Only thing I couldn’t get past missin’…”

You watch wide eyed as Bucky wraps the blanket over your shoulders, tugging at the ends to bring it in tightly over your chest, cocooning you in it.

“…is in this blanket,” he finishes, his gaze focused on where his hands holds it close. “I missed mornings with you. Even the first morning when I woke up feelin’ like a drunk sailor after pub crawl thinking Stark or someone had shrunk me down to the size of a bean. I missed your tiny house and your couch and your coffee and… and you.”

And you.

Maybe it’s another cliché, but you can’t help the smile, the sudden joy that bubbles up along with the sensation of right. All these days that have somehow bled into months of moving, of unease, they are drawn into this moment. They breathe a sigh of relief, settling. This is it, this is what all that drifting was about. Finding the spot where your roads would lead you to stand toe to toe, wrapped in a well-worn blanket and realize that home can grow from a warmth that accumulated over so many mornings. You push at Bucky’s hands, making the blanket part, tugging the ends from his grip to sling your arms around his neck, bringing him into it.

The kisses don’t happen until later. First, there’s the quiet, the seconds and minutes wrapped in the blanket. Then, there is breakfast and coffee strong enough to make a spoon stand up straight and slightly overscrambled eggs and Bucky’s voice drifting from the bathroom with hums breaking up the lyrics. You kiss him like you want to taste him, commit him to memory, pulling him down by his neck and drawing in a sharp breath when drops of water fall down the neckline of your t-shirt. He kisses like he’s finally at rest, safe even when his attention is diverted.

>>Coordinates? Bit banged up, wings took a hit, out of your hair before tomorrow

>>image.jpeg

>>Sorry, find another safehouse, this one’s occupied

>>TMI WAY TMI DO NOT SAY ANOTHER WORD

>>It was just a selfie!

>>IN BED

>>Get ur head out of the gutter /JBB

>>I hate you guys

You smile at the final message, setting down the phone and curling up against Bucky with a sigh. The sheets are a mess by your feet, Bucky’s body heat enough to keep you both warm.

“Occuped, huh?” he smiles, tracing your lower lip with the pad of his thumb.

You nod, pressing a kiss to the finger.

“Welcome home.”

A Fight

He missed Alba

She was funny and provocative, her humour, her touches.

He’ve been busy yes, but have tried to keep a track on his dear friend, though ‘friend’ might be a underrated word for what he felt. She was quite the being, the time spent together after he nearly drowned her accidentally was fun! And although the small talk about her being cute killed him with embarrassment, her laugh made it quite worth it. He couldnt point out why he trusted her but he did, he knew she wouldnt tell others of his desire to not leave.

He’ve been tracking her for a while, seeing some of her adventures with other trolls, it made him a bit jealous but the work kept him busy enough to avoid falling through that. He did noticed that she spent a lot of time alone too. It was a bit worrying but she seem to avoid a lot of trouble somehow. Even close ones when she was in a place that was about to be raided by drones.

You did send her some coordinates when these kind of things were about to happen, but she seem to get out faster than some of your messages, which was very suspicious, so he started doing some tests. He wouldn’t send about the raids for a chance.

It made him quite guilty feeling because they were closing in the place she was now, but for surprise she seem to have tensed up, grabbed the friend that was with her and they scattered the hell out of there about three minutes before the raid. He was incredulous, how did she know about that?

Past times in which he keep doing those tests, trying to figure out how she always knew they were coming. He started to get suspicious on the robot thing again, but it doesn’t make sense the slightly. Or might? He considered it was maybe her checking on her palmhusk with the higher caste friends. But it was not that either, she didnt even clicked to hear any message! He even hacked in it to see if anyone sent anything, and nothing to be found really.

But the moment he hacked into her palmhusk something strange happened. It seemed to appear a file in his husktop with no name, and started to run itself! Startled he started to try to stop the strange program with anything but it seemed to have some kind of firewall that no matter the coding he did, it was not breaking.

Once it finished installing he awaited for the worst, it might be a file of the drones or something of the heiress??

And then a chatting log appeared in the screen.

-- YUNA [YN] began trolling SnakeBytes [SB] at 23:02 --

YN: You Have been quite the shameless pervert these past days haven’t you?

SB: Who the hell are you?;

YN: Now now, no need to be rude, you were the one that started following Alba closer than her weird fans from chittr.

YN: And while I’m aware of your friendship with her, it is one to suspect when her ‘friend’ start putting her in danger on purpose. What is your deal?

SB: Whoa, I don’t know what you’re talking about. What = YOUR deal? Who even are you I dont remember DC having any friend with … = not even a nickname, what are you?? Were you the one that installed that weird program?

YN: It is you who tried to pry in her phone private messages, you really don’t know how to respect privacy young man?

YN: I’m here to warn you to stop messing in things your big nose don’t fit in or some consequences might appear!

SB: = that a threat? I can turn this around if you keep up.

YN: Sweetie you don’t even know what I am, you cannot crack my code that easily, not after what I got from you. Thanks for the present!

SB: What

YN: You better keep this down, ‘friend’ of Alba. If I see you threatening over her security again, I will not hesitate! This planet got a lot of threats in a step, and I won’t stop myself from sending them your way sweetie.

SB: ...

YN: Glad we could have this friendly conversation! Have a safe evening!

YN: Toodles!

= YUNA [YN] stop trolling SnakeBytes [SB] at 23:26 =

What.. The hell was that? How did they know about his activities? By the color.. Alba didnt make friends with seadwellers as far as he knows, and a seadweller that knows codding??

If thats a friend of Alba it must be one weird and dangerously controlling one. He was a bit worried, and slightly ashamed, whoever it was it knew he was priving Alba from help. But she seemed to be doing just fine without his help apparently.

Mallek had a lot of questions, a threat like that is not to be taken lightly, and Alba had some things he doesnt seem to know.

The next weeks he tried to carefully see her, but always seem to be interrupted by the seadweller, and now he felt being watched and his movements too. He started to ignore Alba talks and calls, it hurt sure but he’s trying to figure this out without having a seadweller calling the drones on him. He had a few talks with them and it just felt that they were playing with him, and his paranoia seem to grew by time.

[ Alba obviously noticed Mallek absence. They use to talk to each other and even meet on spot sometimes, she liked to tease him and thought maybe getting a piercing with his color would make him get the right idea of her interest in him. But she didnt want to put a tone too dark or light, or even wrong hue, and since Nana didnt approve so her help was quite doubtful.

Besides she started getting a bit insecure of maybe getting too strong, she didnt even pierce her ears, who to say other places? Maybe it would be too forward.

But then Mallek just… disappeared. He stopped talking or answering her. She noticed how her calls went immediately to voicemail. Was he.. ignoring her?

She started to get self conscious again, was it something she did? something she said? She was visiting more other friends but thats something she can do, and she knew he was fine with it, but then what was the problem?

She started to get angry, he was ignoring her.

YUNA: Sweetie maybe he’s just busy, maybe he got to do something dangerous and need to lay low for some time.

Alba: But he can warn me, he would at least send a message to warn me to not contact or he would be out for a few days, he didn't do that, he’s straight up ignoring me.

Ohh but it was not going to be like that, unlucky him, Alba knows where he is and she’s going there.]

How he didn’t see that coming is hilarious, of course she would go after him. He was just relaxing and preparing to got to sleep even if a bit as the sun begin to rise, he heard his front door open which made him jumping out of his sofa by holding a taser and reading himself, When he hear Alba calling him out.

“Mallek ADALOV WHERE ARE YOU” Oh she sounded mad.
