#OTP: Before Him I Use To Sing Alone

Note
Hey Simon š,
34, 35 and 40 for the OTP asks
Hiiii Sophia, thank you so much for the ask and the opportunity to lose my mind over Wilmon šššššššš
34. How do they cheer the other one up during sad times?
Hugs!!! Physical affection!!! The first thing they do when they notice the other one is sad is go in for some physical comfort because that definitely helps them feel less alone. I like to believe that they do get better at the talking about their feelings part as well in the future, but hugs and being held will probably always be their go-to's until they're ready to talk about it, if at all.
If it's just a bit of a shitty mood they are in they definitely also use humor to cheer each other up, like making purposefully corny jokes. I can also very much see Wille sitting in front of a kinda sad Simon and pulling his exaggerated frown/puppy face at him until Simon lets out a small huff and gives him an endeared eye roll and a shove to the shoulder.
35. What are their tastes in music?
this is where I show how lost I am around any music that isn't the stuff I listened to as a teen
I feel like both would have a pretty varied taste in music, just slightly different faves.
So... I feel like Simon very much is a pop girly, specifically indie or indie-adjacent pop. Basically you give him some pretty lyrics and he'll be interested, bonus points if there's some catchy guitar strumming. (and you can be sure he'll be sat in front of his keyboard trying to figure out the chords in no time). Specifically I am thinking of Halloween by Noah Kahan rn (shoutout Safaa for showing me this), Simon would eat that shit up. And I feel like he'd watch movies and really get into the film music.
For Wille, I mean, I don't wanna go off stereotypes, but at least from what we learned through canon he's gotten quite the education in classical instruments, so I'm sure he'd enjoy a classical concert on the occasion (and of course Simon joins him as well). But he also very much loves his fast-paced EDM/House, especially when he's going on a run. But of course his favorite type of music will always be anything Simon sings for him <3
40. Who is the skilled shopper for holidays? Who always waits 'til the last minute to get all of their gifts? (Which one gets stressed out easily)?
Oh you BET Wille is the one to forget to plan ahead, especially in those first years of living on his own (or with Simon, because I think these fools move out from home specifically to move in together). Simon has those organizational skills that Wille lacks, so he's got a list (not necessarily physical, maybe just mental) with all the things he wants to get for his friends and family, but Wille gets lost and the panic-buys relatively random stuff at the last minute. I feel like the only exception are presents for Simon, those are special and occupy a lot of Wille's brain capacity for weeks before he plans to give them to him.
Ask me about my OTP (Wilmon) <3

ā” My thoughts on Yennskier + headcanons ā”
(Edited post)
- What makes this whole thing so funny and exciting to me is that Yennefer used to think that Jaskier was just some annoying sing songy twit before. While Jaskier's dramatic arse used to consider Yennefer an enemy until she saved him from Rience XD XD XD
- I adored the everliving FUCK out of their scenes together in season 2! Their dynamic is so fucking good! AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
- Yennskier, the ship we didn't know we needed, but definitely deserved! Their chemistry is so fucking perfect and their dynamic works so well!
- Personally I think that this ship is actually, currently, THE healthiest and most wholesome one of all my Jaskier ships! At least as of season 2! (Even if Geraskier remains as my OTP)
- In Oxenfurt, when Jaskier and Yennefer got to know eachother better without Geralt's presence to distract them both, ever since they saw the real, raw and vulnerable sides of eachother and became friends, I couldn't help but notice how absolutely toothrottingly perfect they are together!
- Legit, and I kid you not! I can't picture Yennefer and Jaskier having anything other than that deep kind of connection where you know that you are loved, appreciated and adored, despite all your flaws. The kind of love where you know you're not alone, that this person is your family and will always have your back no matter what.
- Yennefer, despite being one of the most powerful sorceresses on the entire continent, treats Jaskier as an equal by the time Ciri gets possessed. (Bro, like even Geralt doesn't do that! Jaskier is his friend, sure, but I've never seen Geralt treating him as an equal.)
- Yennefer and Jaskier have a mutual respect for eachother, they trust eachother, they enjoy eachother's company. All of those things are A CRUCIAL part of having a solid foundation to build a honest, sturdy, long-lasting and happy relationship upon.
- From compatibility POV, they work together a lot better than Geralt and Yennefer did. With Jaskier, there are no djinn related consent issues, there wouldn't be any communication issues and he would probably be a positive influence on Yennefer's mental health.
- Whereas her relationship with Geralt was quite frankly chaotic, explosive, sometimes even toxic. It was built upon a shaky foundation of lust, djinn magic and exchanged favors. Like c'mon, their time together as an on-and-off couple mostly consisted of having kinky unicorn sex, trauma dumping, dealing with magical, gorey and insanely dangerous situations, then talking about said situations until they have a fight! Leaving eachother every time in the end because they can't seem to make it work long-term. They're incompatible because in canon, the only thing that finally made them stick together for good, was an orphaned girl in need of protection. It's not right, kind of like parents who are postponing their divorce until their daughter grows up :/
- Jaskier on the other hand, despite his magic-less ordinary humanity has a hilariously witty, optimistic, stupidly brave, highly empathetic, loyal and supportive personality. Yennefer would have an understanding partner who loves her, cherishes her, acceptc her for who she is without judgement nor pity. A partner who would make it his life's mission to help her see the good things this world has to offer, to make her happy because she deserves it!
- Damn it all, they both have been through enough, they both deserve a break. They actually GET eachother. I can already feel a drabble forming in my brain, set a week or so after the whole Voleth Mier shebang, Jaskier is struggling with PTSD and nightmares about Rience, Yennefer is struggling with guilt and shame because she put Ciri in danger. So while Geralt is too busy with Ciri's training to be there for Jaskier and he feels too betrayed to be in Yennefer's company, neither Yen nor Jask have anyone to turn to in Kaer Morhen, except eachother. Three months confined to a witcher keep together? Now that is a LOT of time to spend with someone you can be openly vulnerable around, bond with, heal and share joy with, unexpectedly falling in love....
- Yennefer too is an extremely good match for Jaskier, it's almost uncanny how much she completes him! Jaskier would finally have an understanding and loving partner who truly saw him when others didn't bother. And Yennefer liked what she saw, the familiar face of a simple human bard who offered kindness and compassion to strangers even if it could kill him. She saw courage, honesty, forgiveness and so much good, a collection of rare qualities she had never thought could exist within one single person all at once. After Voleth Mier, all that goodness was given to her so freely, it is still being given to her everyday, so she knows a treasure when it looks her right in the eyes with such easy warmth. She would make it her life's mission to cling onto him with everything she's got, to love and cherish him the way he deserves, to protect the only person she deems worthy of holding her heart!
- They have a lot in common too. From both having a knack for fashion, both being mischievous little shits at heart and both having high standards when it comes to personal hygiene. To also having similar tastes in both alcohol, humor, luxury and entertainment.....if Yennefer's kinky orgy party and Jaskier's reputation as the biggest slut on the continent is anything to go by.
- Speaking of sex, both of them having a high libido and exceptional skills in bed aside, they're fucking GORGEOUS people! Why wouldn't they find eachother attractive?
- Yennefer is basically a Goddess, beauty personified! She is elegant and breathtaking, everyone knows it.
- However, since a majority of the Witcher fandom usually dismisses Jaskier in favor of simping for Geralt, I can, I must and I WILL gush about how pretty Jaskier is! Cuz clearly some of them bitches be blind, Yennefer is one lucky witch!
- Jaskier is like only 1,5 inches shorter than his grouchy snowman friend. Meaning he is tall as all hell and he definitely isn't lacking in the muscle department either, that bard is jacked yo. His voice is soothing and his vocabulary is extensive enough to make the most experienced of whores blush from pillow talk. He has VERY soft looking hair and he has one of the most angelic fucking faces I've ever seen. His eyes are the clearest shade of blue and his expressions + mannerisms are absolutely adorable! Ok, I'm done gushing, onto the next point....
- Unlike Jaskier, I don't think I have a dummy thick enough of a vocabulary to express how much dopamine Yennskier fanfics give me, more specifically when their husband and wife act from Oxenfurt becomes an inside joke for them, leaving the rest of Kaer Morhen's inhabitants confused as fuck.
- Geralt getting a bit jealous? His brothers wondering when that could have happened? Ciri feeling bamboozled as well?
- It's all shits and giggles until somebody giggles and shits. It won't take long until their inside joke is no longer a joke. They already bicker like a married couple anyway XD
- I can not help but also headcanon Jaskier as not fully human. It would be sad if he up and died on his dear immortal wife. I don't necessarily picture him having chaos or other powers in this scenario, but when I do, I think that they would discover them together on accident.

11 24 29 dealer choice for ship I can't decide š§”š
@darkfire1177 ā [ OTP Prompts ]
Guess what bestie, ur gonna get some Cybill/Iris!!
@grimreapersbutt answered these with me š¤āØ thank u van ily ily
ā
11. Who leaves notes in the other one's lunch? (Bonus: what do they say?)
Iris is more likely to be the one leaving notes for Cybill. Cybill can cook well, but not anything he'd ever be willing to subject Iris to.
Iris already loves to cook, travels with a pan and cooking/eating utensils, and was already showing Cybill just how much she cared about him when cooking for him and June on the road. And she only gets better as time goes on as she gets accustomed to cooking with what's available, plus later down the line when they settle and she starts her own garden at home base! Truly putting her entire heart into it.
She would be writing so many mushy gushy notes. Telling Cybill how much she loves him, adores him, every little thing about him she cherishes, how grateful she is that they met and an endless amount of thank you's for everything he's done for her. And if she's in a particularly saucy mood, I have no doubts in my mind she'd leave him something a lil spicy to chew on. And yes, she is signing every single one of those notes with a lipstick kissy.
Iris does tend to visit down the road to Sanctuary pretty often so she can visit Preston and help around the settlement, especially with rebuilding. And if Cybill stays back (they don't exactly like being separated) I can absolutely see her meal prepping for him and the babies for the day, leaving him sweet notes saying how much she's gonna miss him and how she can't wait to be back in his arms. But every now and again Cybill sneaks his own notes into her lunch before she heads out and she melts over them! She has lil mementos she takes with her everywhere she goes and anything Cybill gives her she would cherish and it'll never leave her side, I'm tellin' ya.
ā
24. Sleeping/cuddling positions? (Big spoon, little spoon, etc.)?
They often like to sleep facing each other! Optimal position for spur of the moment kissing, and brother lemme tell ya, they're gonna be kissing a lot. Night time kissies before bed? Yep. Sleepy lazy morning kissies in the sunlight? You better believe it. They invented love, and they are relishing in it every moment they can. They like being close, laying on each other's chests, actual snuggle bugs. When they spoon, it is more likely for Iris to be the big spoon and Cybill to be the little spoon. It makes him feel safe, and she is already such a physical, snuggly person that being able to hold him in her arms at night and nuzzle her face into him would bring her so much comfort to know he's there, he's safe, and that she isn't alone.
Iris spends a lot of her story with bad sleep issues, often pushing herself not to sleep at all. Often out of fear, often because she has frequent nightmares. And once Cybill and June are with her, she'll never forgive herself if she fails to keep them safe. But being with Cybill eases that. She feels safe with him, comfortable, god she loves him so much. She can finally rest. Her nightmares don't haunt her like they used to. They still exist, and sometimes he'll have to help her through them. But it's better than it was.
ā
29. First date? (Give as much or little detail)
So, we were thinking about their first date being them singing a duet at The Third Rail!
They get dressed up all nice like the lil romantics they are so they can have a proper date and ough it is darling.
Iris telling Cybill about how, before she met him, she used to perform occasionally with Magnolia for some caps whenever she'd stop by Goodneighbor every now and again. Something leads to another and one of them asks the other of they'd wanna sing together.
Cybill is good at singing, but Iris knows this. Him singing lullabies to June, and how lovely his voice was, was one of the earliest moments of her falling for him. I don't doubt in that time he's also heard her sing sweetly, considering how much time they've spent together by now. But he's never heard her on stage.
Cybill is gonna be so nervous to sing in front of other people, but Iris is gonna be there by his side singing with him. And once they start, their voices melt together so beautifully, their eyes are locked onto each other, they're looking so stunning, the world around them just falls away. The only thing in this moment is them. When they finish, Cybill dips Iris into such a passionate kiss, grand finale of a lifetime fr.
And if you see them holding hands and sneaking away to the backroom, don't even worry about it. Loud moans? Nope, don't hear a thing. Are they leaving, clothes disheveled, Cybill covered in smeared lipstick kisses, Iris covered in bite marks? Mind ur business.
#long post#cybill x iris#sorry for taking so long getting around to everything āļøš my brain is. uhm. BAD rn#but still we sparkle on or whatever#sweeties for the soul to heal all the woes

Are you still doing the character asks? If so, Iām requesting a three in one for you, Galinda/Glinda, Elphaba, and Nessarose all from Wicked
I already answered asks for Elphaba and Glinda long ago.
Now for Nessarose...
(This is for the musical only, because I haven't read the book.)
Favorite thing about them: Well, she starts out as nice girl, and even after her dark turn, she still has a sad, pitiable aspect to her.
Least favorite thing about them: Nothing much. Just that she becomes a dictator who strips the Munchkins of all their rights, just so she can force her unrequited love object Boq to be her slave... and then tries to enchant him into loving her when he tries to leave her... and after she nearly kills him by accident and Elphaba is forced to turn him into the Tin Man to save him, she refuses to take responsibility, but puts all the blame on Elphaba... In short, she becomes more of a real villain than her sister ever is, and it's more than just propaganda that makes the Munchkins sing "Ding-Dong" after her death.
On a meta level, I don't think she's the most well thought-out portrayal of a wheelchair user. Her "Freudian Excuse" for turning into a villain is basically just her misery over her disability. I only hope that Part 2 of the film version does a better job of fleshing out her character and avoiding ableism, especially because her screen actress really is disabled.
Three things I have in common with them:
*My dad adores me and has spoiled me a little too much.
*I sometimes have low self-esteem, as she does when she thinks it's because she's disabled that Boq doesn't return her love.
*I wish I were less dependent on others than I am.
Three things I don't have in common with them:
*I don't use a wheelchair.
*I don't have an older sister.
*My mom didn't die giving birth to me.
Favorite line:
Her poignant response when Glinda suggests that Boq just isn't the right one for her:
No, it's me that's not right.Ā
The tragic moment when she realizes what she's become and gives herself the title we know her by from The Wizard of Oz:
All alone and loveless here.
Just the girl in the mirror.
Just her and me! The Wicked Witch of the East!
We deserve each other.
brOTP: Her sister Elphaba before things go bad.
OTP: None.
nOTP: Boq.
Random headcanon: Even though Wizard of Oz fans like to think that the witch Dorothy sees flying on her broomstick during the cyclone was the Witch of the East, not of the West, in the Wicked-verse I don't think it was. In fact it couldn't have been, because unlike her sister, Nessa doesn't fly on a broomstick; she never learns that spell. If in Wicked canon, Dorothy saw a witch during the cyclone, it was Elphaba rushing to try to save her sister after seeing her vision of the flying house, only to arrive too late.
Unpopular opinion: I don't think I have one.
Song I associate with them:
"Wicked Witch of the East" (yes, that's Deedee Magno Hall, the voice of Pearl from Steven Universe):
youtube
Favorite picture of them:
Michelle Federer in the original cast:
Amanda Rose:
Jenna Leigh Green (yes, fellow '90s kids, Libby from Sabrina: The Teenage Witch):
Arielle Jacobs:
Marissa Bode in the film version:

"Every Breath You Take" is stalkery in general but also such an inspired love song choice to improvise into immediately after talking about Pete, the more stalkery parts still read a bit obsessive/codependent but this is the guys who keep calling each other cryptophasic twin soulmates of ultimate destiny do not separate each other's full time problem, somehow "everything you do i'll be watching you, you belong to me" ranks thereabouts. And in the more charitable way of reading the "I'll be watching you"s, them coming after talking about how pete always wants to highlight him for tours and this time he got him performing solo (and his continued affront at pete shimmying offstage to leave him alone) comes as being aware of pete watching him perform and evolve. idk it being not entirely unproblematic makes it fit better as "love songs patrick would come up with when thinking about this guy that's displayed so much of that 5% of love he allows himself to show by being annoying <3 or clinging for dear life mid-concert"
Yes in all likelyhood this was mostly-to-completely unintentional from Patrick's part but it's fun to think about.
We do not talk about the peephole in patrick's door. Shh. Totally not immediately relevant to this analysis of EBUT and p2.
Ohhhhh, this is so good because you are SO RIGHT. I've been wondering why, when Patrick sings it, I'm not like, "Wow, this song is so inappropriate," lol, and I was just like, Well, that's Patrick magic for you! but no, OF COURSE Patrick sings it like a total love song because his experience of love is this. lol
Like, I don't even think the original is meant to be a love song tbh, the person in the song is breaking their vows, etc., but Patrick just sings it in a way that feels so unmistakably a love song because yes, for half of his life now he's been watched so closely, and that's how he experiences love. What do we say, about the way Pete looks at Patrick? And what do we say about the way Patrick looks at Pete? This is a love song, in their own way.
It makes me think a little bit about Swan Song, in that the lead singer of Swan is always thinking about how his OTP counts his breaths during the performances to make sure he makes all his cues. Surely, Patrick feels Pete paying attention to him just as keenly on stage. And vice versa. And I always think about how, the first time I saw them live, before Saturday, I watched Pete nudge his mic stand down a little bit for Patrick's lesser height when he was going to have to use it in a second, and that little moment killed me. I'm sure he does it automatically at this point, but still, such awareness and such care. The way they always seem to know exactly where the other one is on the stage. Etc.
But yes, also, there was once a peephole.

18. Hugging your partner to warm them up when they're cold
Csilla was frigid; a wasteland of ice and rock above, with the only true life found below the surface. Even within the massive caverns that served as cities and homesteads for the Families of the Ascendancy, the temperature was nothing that could be called temperate. Theron Shan was used to cooler temperatures; Odessen was hardly tropical, but even in his thick leather jacket, he still shivered as he stood upon the balcony of the room he shared with his wife.
He had no idea where Kali was at; Tilanu had come and spirited her away this morning. Shortly after, Ikasti had absconded with Shani, saying that he and Ziivan were taking her as they went shopping for their upcoming wedding. He'd thought to find Saganu, but a quick check with one of the manor's servants had earned him the unwelcome information that the Aristocra had left before "sunrise" for a meeting with his sub-commanders in the Expansionary Defense Force.
So here he stood alone, on a world where he was likely the only human within a thousand kilometers. The view was glorious - the Miurani homestead was spread out before him, and from this height his eye could follow the lines and curves of the buildings, parks, and city spaces that formed the stylized flame flower that was the Family crest. The glacier that formed the sky was a rich periwinkle blue, evocative of his daughter's skin, and the reactor-sun that paced across the sky glowed golden, casting light upon the landscape below.
Beautiful, but so damn cold.
Shoving his hands in his pockets, he hunched his shoulders and started to turn towards the open doors leading back into his rooms, determined to find a fire and a datapad and get some work done. Before he could complete even a quarter of the turn, however, arms came around him and he felt the heat of her lips against the back of his neck. Sighing, he relaxed into her embrace, leaning back into her warmth. "You wouldn't be thinking of sneaking off to work, would you?" she asked, her voice edged in laughter.
"Not now," he replied, and she laughed softly, the steam of her breath fluttering past his face. "Mmm. You're warm."
Again, she laughed. "You're not."
Quick as a striking snake, he spun in her arms, dragging his own free and hitching them around her to pull her close. "Maybe not, but I think we can do something to fix that." He grinned down into those glowing scarlet eyes before lowering his mouth to hers and beginning to walk her backwards into the bedroom.
He knew Ikasti would keep Shani until they stole her back this evening. And Saganu's meetings could take all day. More than enough time to heat his blood and hers and warm up the old-fashioned way.
In bed. Or maybe on the couch. That one table looked sturdy...
With her laughter singing in his ears, he steered her towards the bed first.
There would be time to test the rest of the furniture later.
Want to hear my OTPs/OT3s say the words without saying the words? Give me a prompt!
Thank you for the prompt!

For the character ask game: Sanson, the one and only, obviously! Or if you've already answered for him, how about Alphinaud? :D
Iāll do both because I love both of these characters!!!
Sanson
[vibrates at a frequency b that could shatter glass] I love him a normal amount.
1: sexuality headcanon: gay gay homosexual gay
2: otp: Guydelot is the love of his life ā i always imagine that he wasnāt trying to find a relationship or didnāt have a lot of interest in them because he was so focused on his duty and his goal of creating a bard unit that it was very āthatās something that will happen later in life,ā so his feelings for Guydelot are unexpected and also hit him like a train
3: brotp: the WoL once again lol but I also love his relationship with moogles??? They are his little friends???
4: notp: the WoL lol. I make jokes about Nourval having a crush on Sanson post SB just cause Sanson was nice to him but he knows it wonāt go anywhere and I think itās funny to imagine him being frustrated by a silly lil crush. But I donāt actually ship them.
5: first headcanon that pops into my head: I think Sanson is an okay singer. Not great like Guydelot, probably not good enough to be a bard. But heās better than he gives himself credit for and will sing with Guydelot when theyāre alone
6: favorite line from this character: itās hard to choose one but the first ones that came to mind were him saying that heās nervous but knows things will be okay with Guydelot by his side, him telling us to tell Nourval Guydelot is in a drunken stupor, and him saying he needs to write the view from the churning mists down so he can share it with Guydelot š„²š„²š„²
7: one way in which I relate to this character: I related to him a lot tbh which is probably why I always headcanon him as a September virgoā¦sometimes Iām like thereās definitely a lil projection going on here butā
But I think a big one is getting so focused on small details, itās easy to lose sight of the bigger picture, which I think he does a lot in the HW quests
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: him walking right into Nourvalās very obvious trapā¦baby girl please
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? Heās Mon petiti Chou, he has never done anything wrong in his life
Alphinaud:
My baby boy, my son who I birthed and raised myself
1: sexuality headcanon: gay but he hasnāt realized it yet
2: otp: heās only 16/17 so I donāt ship him romantically with anyone, heās too youngā¦but I think his big ole puppy love/idol worship crush on estinien is cute, and I think he has a lil crush on Arenvald too (again, very much in a babyās first crush on someone whoās older than them kinda way)
3: brotp: I do really love his friendship with Arenvald and I wish we got to see them hanging out more! And his friendship with Kai-shirr is sweet too
4: notp: basically anyone who is an adult LOL but especially an adult who is twice his age
5: first headcanon that pops into my head: Iāve always thought he was a trans boy
6: favorite line from this character: hmmmmm i really like when he tells Vauthry he needs a mirror cause it will capture the horror he sees before him better than a painting could. Imagine getting burned by ALPHINAUD
7: one way in which I relate to this character: when we first meet him, he was very much a know it all who thought he knew best lol. I was really bad about being a know it all when I was younger and I try to be mindful about those tendencies in myself now that Iām older
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character: the entire buying a sword incidentā¦baby boy please
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? If you look up a picture of a cinnamon roll, it would just be a picture of Alphinaud

Happy Wife, Happy Life
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the canon characters. They belong solely to Ali Hazelwood. No monetary gain is being made off of this drabble.
Ā --------------
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½Anything else youād like to do today while weāre out, Olive?ā Adam Carlsen inquires, his right hand turning Oliveās chin towards him where he can gaze into her eyes.
āWellā¦ā Olive blusters, not quite sure how to bring this up, let alone how to bring up this idea in a group setting. āTheyāre having an adoption event in the park todayā¦ā she trails off, fixing Adam with her most innocent smile.
āWhy, pray tell, are you wanting to go to this adoption event?ā Adam questions, tossing a look at Holden for help.
āWell, Iā¦ I was hoping we could look at the animals and maybe pick one out now that we have a stable apartment living situation,ā Olive begins to explain, her eyes sparkling in excitement as she imagines their life becoming even more complete with the addition of a pet.
āNo,ā Adam says, implying he is leaving very little room for discussion in regards to this matter.
āAdam, but why?ā Olive asks, disappointment seeping through her body as she tries to process this blatant rejection.
āOlive, neither of us are home enough for a puppy, sweetheart. Theyāre a huge commitment, and both of us are working incredibly hard on our research,ā the powerful STEM professor reminds, silently thinking of how proud he still is that Olive managed to receive a grant for her study.
Ā --------------------
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āYou know what they say, Carlsen! Happy wife, happy life,ā Holden beams up at Adam from across the table, absolutely taking Oliveās side on this matter.
āSheās my fiancĆ©e, not quite my wife yet, so I think I win this time on a technicality,ā Adam smirks in that cocky yet sexy way Olive loves and is convinced only Dr. Carlsen knows how to pull off.
āAh, but happy future wife, happy future life!ā Malcolm calls in a sing-song voice as he returns back with three hot cocoas and a black coffee for the resident fall drink-hating member of their circle of trust.
Adam sighs dramatically, knowing when heās been beaten.
āOlive, are you that serious about going?ā he sighs, wrapping both arms around his fiancĆ©eās back and shoulders as she drinks her seasonal hot cocoa.
āYes, Adam! Letās go see who we can open our home to!ā Olive excitedly remarks, pressing a thick kiss to Adamās cheek.
She could be quite convincing when she wanted to be.
Ā ----------------
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Adam Carlsen must admit that seeing Olive interacting with and holding various animals is indeed rather adorable and makes her even more irresistible to him. Currently, Olive is sitting in the middle of a pen filled with two litters of puppies, her laughter echoing as two puppies kiss her cheeks with their little tongues while another three tumble in her lap while a sixth pulls on her hair with sharp teeth.
āOlive, as adorable as you are, love, we agreed on no puppies,ā Adam reminds, scooping the one puppy climbing up Oliveās back off of her to prevent the puppy from chewing on her hair.
Olive looks up at him holding the wriggling puppy and her heart swells at the sight of her well-known tough as nails fiancƩ pressing the chocolate-colored pup to his broad chest.
āYes, I know, but they were just so cute that I had to play with them! That one seems to like you, Adam,ā Olive smiles, love evident on every inch of her face.
āYes, well,ā Adam remarks, swallowing thickly as he hurriedly sets the puppy down before he and Olive can become too attached. āHow about we go and look at the other animals to find one to possibly take home?ā he smiles, offering Olive a hand up.
āI love you,ā Olive grins, accepting the hand and pulling herself into his arms.
āI love you, too,ā Adam breathes, encircling Oliveās waist with his hands.
Ā ---------------------
Authorās Note: Adam and Olive are one of my book OTPs now and forevermore! I never realized how much I would have loved the fake dating trope prior to reading this novel! I had seen it recommended on all different forms of social media and thought I would give it a whirl. Needless to say, I read it in less than four days even with three of those four days being ones that I worked at the hospital as a nurse! (Getting up at 4:00 to leave for work by 5:00 has its perks sometimesā¦) The idea for this fic came to me one day on a drive to work because I absolutely think that Olive is more of a cat person than a dog person anyway and that given her past, Olive is all for adopting the animals from rescues or shelters that no one else wants.Ā (I have volunteered and fostered in animal rescue for nearly seven years now, so trust me when I say that everyone always wants the ācute, small puppies and kittensā but hardly anyone wants to give the older, mature dogs and cats a chance. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this drabble! There are sure to be more Adam/Olive stories coming from me, as I already have several ideas for them already! As always, likes, comments, or kudos are greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day, afternoon, or evening! Until next time, dear readers!

MILAN 10/04/2022
(my first concert<333) ok im still processing and a bit in shock so forgive me if I forget anything but I'll just write a few words to remember the night bc it was AMAZING
ok so first of all enormous thanks to @tanktop-lou and her family for giving me a ride and being generally great!
then thanks to the girls I met in line that I spent the night with bc they were SO NICE, when we were in line there was a dad with a sign saying "I'm looking for a ticket for my daughter " and one of the girls had an extra ticket to sell bc her friend couldn't come but when she saw this guy's daughter was like a 13yo girl she just gifted it to her !!! so sweet!š louies are great<333
also the line was INSANE and considering I only waited like 2 hours we got a great spot in the pit !! but truly the line went all around the parking lot MULTIPLE TIMES!! let's just say there was A LOT of pushing and running once the gates opened skjdk
then we got in and everyone in the pit was pushing already lol and I left a few girls go in front of me bc I felt bad for being so tall sksj but then the girl behind me started to get angry at me and my ponytail (??) so I just turned around and ignored her ksjzkd
anywaysss OTP were good although basically nobody knew their songs rip but they still made the best of it and the frontman was very good and energetic! and he tanked and praised louis so many times š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ (also the security gave us water ! and told us to not throw anything on stage)
then it was another 30 minutes before louis and the adrenaline (and sweat shsh) were saturating the air. it was great to see a lot of guys and older ppl there too! everyone was so excited and it was so beautiful to see such a big arena get filled by people who were there for louis!!
then the curtain came up and the first lights started shining and let me tell you... his intro his AMAZING like there's an instrumental bit and a lights sequence that just builds up the excitement so WELL and you can literally feel everyone's hearts beating faster ! then the curtain falls and everyone just SCREAMS and from there on its nonstop just SPECTACULAR performance, every moment every light every note every smile it's all just so perfect and so well thought out, it's truly an experience worth every single cent I spent (which weren't even that many tbh for a show this good). I LOVED the screens and the various effects he had on them and the fact that we could also see the band at times, Michael's happiness was truly visible on his face and Steve was just SO GOOD and a great presence, they compliment louis and his energy so well,
LOUIS was just..... beautiful incredible SO FUCKING TALENTED like genuinely there wasn't a single note out of place and his voice was either so perfect it sounded like the studio version OR even better than that bc he was adding high notes and virtuosisms to the songs, his high notes are INSANE like truly he has an AMAZING VOICE and it fills an entire arena so well, I will NEVER understand the people who told him his voice was too weak, it's so far from the truth!!! truly I kept my eyes closed for most of beautiful War bc I wanted to enjoy it to the fullest, and most people also stopped singing bc his voice was THAT beautiful.
also man I'm ashamed to say I had not fully comprehended just how much effort and physical strength goes into every show , I jumped around and screamed a lot but I also took breaks bc it's genuinely so exhausting and while I was in one of these moments taking a break It hit me that louis does and will do this multiple times a week every week for MONTHS like it's truly insanely hard, I don't think I'll be able to move let alone talk tomorrow, I have no idea how he does 3 shows in a row sometimes. I've genuinely gained so much more respect for him and musicians in general tonight.
back to the show, the energy was GREAT everyone around me screamed every word (except 7 which I was like come onnn people it's been years!! but it doesn't matter bc I screamed it all!!!) and louis was visibily SO HAPPY to play in such a big venue and it was just š„°š„°š„°š„°ššš the most beautiful feeling, also he was SO HOT!!! and everyone was just so in love with him. also he loved getting the shirts and hoodie and he pointed at a sign that called him a work of art<3333
my favorites live were probably beautiful War, walls, only the brave, through the dark and kmm , his voice in walls and beautiful War is SPLENDID and they're such beautiful moments, otb was BEAUTIFUL the whole venue was so pretty and the rainbow project came out so well!!! TTD and KMM are the perfect closing songs!!! SO much energy and everyone was using every single drop of strength they had left to jump and scream and we really gave it all !!!
and the pyros and silly strings are so amazing and a great experience live !!! it seems silly written down but they just add another layer to the experience and make it more tangible in a way, again everything was so well timed and thought out.
you leave the show truly understanding how much louis CARES and how much effort he puts in his work, he's truly an Artist and a Musician with capital letters and I'm just filled with joy at the thought that he'll get to do this and people will get to experience it for many years to come, I certainly can't wait.
louis, you were beautiful and you shine so bright, its no wonder why some people were always scared of letting you shine but you really proved and prove over and over again that real talent, real care, real love, really do make a difference ā”

Character ask: Enjolras
Requested by anonymous.
Favorite thing about them: His sheer heroism. His unshakable faith in his vision of a world where justice and freedom reign for everyone, and his willingness to fight for that world and die for it if need be. Heās an inspiration.
Least favorite thing about them: The cold, severe aspect of his dedication to his ideals. Chiefly his treatment of Grantaire in the novel and āMarius, youāre no longer a child...ā in the musical.
Yes, I know Grantaire is genuinely annoying and unreliable, and Enjolras also has every right to be annoyed when Marius glorifies his new romantic love at the revolutionās expense. But I donāt think either Hugo or the musicalās writers meant him to be entirely in the right in placing ideals above human bonds. If so, Hugo wouldnāt have written that the gentler, more humane Combeferre ācorrectedā Enjolras and influenced him for the better, or balanced his austere first impression with gradual proof of how much he loves his friends and detests violence even as he uses it, or ended his life with a smile at Grantaire while clasping his hand. And I doubt that Herbert Kretzmer would have chosen wording as harsh as āWho cares about your lonely soul?ā if he had meant us to fully side with Enjolras at that point.
Three things I have in common with them:
*Iām idealistic, or at least I want to be.
*I care passionately about helping the poor and the outcasts of the world.
*I dislike violence, but I know that sometimes itās necessary for social change.
Three things I donāt have in common with them:
*Iām female.
*Iāve never fought in an armed conflict.
*My temperament is as far from āmarbleā as can be.
Favorite line:
From the novel:
From his speech after executing Le Cabuc:
āIt is a bad moment to pronounce the word love. No matter, I do pronounce it. And I glorify it. Love, the future is thine. Death, I make use of thee, but I hate thee.ā
To Javert, explaining why they refuse to use a knife to kill him:
āSpy, we are judges and not assassins.ā
And from his speech in āThe Horizon Which One Beholds from the Summit of the Barricadeā:
āCitizens, do you picture the future to yourselves? The streets of cities inundated with light, green branches on the thresholds, nations sisters, men just, old men blessing children, the past loving the present, thinkers entirely at liberty, believers on terms of full equality, for religion heaven, God the direct priest, human conscience become an altar, no more hatreds, the fraternity of the workshop and the school, for sole penalty and recompense fame, work for all, right for all, peace over all, no more bloodshed, no more wars, happy mothers!ā
āCitizens, whatever happens today, through our defeat as well as our victory, it is a revolution that we are about to create.ā
āBrothers, he who dies here dies in the radiance of the future, and we are entering a tomb all flooded with the dawn.ā
From the musical:
The refrain of āRed and Blackā:
āRed ā the blood of angry men!ā
Black ā the dark of ages past!
Red ā a world about to dawn!
Black ā the night that ends at last!ā
After the news of Lamarqueās death:
āThe time is near!
Let us welcome it gladly with courage and cheer!
Let us take to the streets with no doubt in our hearts,
But a jubilant shout!
They will come one and all! They will come when we call!ā
Not his lines alone, but heās the first to sing them:
āDo you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!ā
From āOne Day Moreā:
āOne more day before the storm
At the barricades of freedom!
When our ranks begin to form,
Will you take your place with me?ā
And of course his famous last words:
āLet others rise to take our place until the earth is free!ā
brOTP: All the Amis.
OTP: Like most of the rest of the fandom, I enjoy Enjoltaire, but first and foremost I ship him with his patria.
nOTP: Javert or Gavroche. Iām glad Iāve never seen him shipped with either of them.
Random headcanon: Just to rebel against the popular fanon that heās estranged from royalist parents, Iāll imagine that his parents are republican too and that he inherited his ideals from them. When he says āCitizen, my mother is the Republic,ā his real mother would have been proud to hear it.
Unpopular opinion: I donāt think itās blasphemy or āqueer erasureā to ship him with a female character. Heās not explicitly gay, after all; he can just as easily be read as aro-ace, or as a chaste āpriest of the idealā regardless of his sexuality. I just donāt see much of a point to shipping him with a female character. Shipping him with Grantaire at least has support in the novel and can be meaningful for both of their character arcs. But what purpose does it serve to give him a girlfriend beyond āIām a female fic writer and I think heās hot, so Iām pairing him with a self-insertā? Then again, probably 80% of Enjoltaire fic is written because the writer thinks Enjolras is hot and uses Grantaire as a self-insert.
Song I associate with them:
āRed and Blackā
youtube
āDo You Hear the People Sing?ā
youtube

A, T and Z for the ask game? <3
@moorsgrimhilde Thank youuu, my dear! š
A - Ships that you currently like a lot.
Iām completely, utterly, madly obsessed with Matchablossom. šš Iām planning to write fic for them at some point, which is the highest honour I can bestow upon an OTP djakgjsdkgkd.
Iāve also got lots of TWST dynamics, romantic and platonic, on the brain. Jamikali and Malvil my beloveds, plus ultimate besties Jamivil, etc, etc. I want to write (more) fic for these ones, but my muse has been shy so idk when itāll happen.
And ofc ofc Iām STILL and forever into Jaylos, but after thinking about nothing but them for two years straight, Iāve been letting them cool off a bit so I can enjoy them fresh, you know?
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?Ā
I wouldnāt seriously die defending any of my headcanons since I find itā¦ off-putting when other people unironically treat theirs as Secret Canon, so to speak, but that said, hmmmm, here's some faves...
Descendants: Carlos and Mal are nonbinary. Carlos and Evie were best friends growing up (out of my way, book canon djakgjksdg). Jay has dyscalculia. Jafar murdered Jayās mother (I wrote a short fic about that particular headcanon). Some years after getting to know him, Roger and Anita decide to surprise Carlos with one of their dalmatian puppies as the ultimate show of trust and belief that heās not like his mother (I wrote that one into a short fic, too). Beast is cheating on Belle with Fairy Godmother and everyone knows it.
TWST: Jamil has a pet tiger (remember how we talked about this, yeah, it lives in my head rent free). Kalim is like a Disney princess with animals. He opens his window and wild birds just come and perch there and sing to him and climb all over his arms and shoulders and he has one-sided conversations with them because heās actually really desperately lonely and always yearning for no-strings-attached connection.
Vil has a cat (you: ānamed PRADAā and ur so right for it), which Malleus gave him. The cat is white and fluffy and has the soul of a diva idk ajskgjsdkgd. Malleus plays piano and violin well enough to perform at a concert hall, but he never brags about it or plays for anyone outside his family and, later, Vil, so itās a little known fact about him. Vil plays guitar (as a hobby, so heās pretty low-key about it; he likes to relax by sitting alone in his room in comfy clothes and composing songs on the acoustic guitar he inherited from his mother when she passed, which is another headcanon I have about Vil) and flute (professionally trained for a role, but itās not his passion).
SK8: Kaoru doesnāt use labels, but if he did, he might choose nonbinary or genderqueer. Kaoru and Kojiro are both cat people. Kojiro likes to sing while he cooks and has a really beautiful voice, but he doesnāt seem to realize it; Kaoru thinks about complimenting him on it sometimes in moments of weakness. Kojiroās hair is naturally curly, but he straightened it for a while in high school. Kaoru and Kojiro end up adopting Miya at some point. How it happens matters less than that they do.
Magi: Jaāfar is ace and Sinbad is aro. Thatās the most important headcanon I have for them. š
Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!
FREE SPACE. NICE. Iām going to use this free space to ramble about how much I love you, Sofia. I know weāve talked about this before and even just the other day, but Iām so happy the Descendants fandom brought us together and Iām even happier that you got me into TWST (and SK8!! Youāre responsible for that too djsakgjksdg). I just love our conversations, theyāre so much fun and you always vibe on my wavelength. Youāre so sweet and so passionate and upbeat and funny (Iām still thinking about that āwith your tears?ā line DAJSKGJSDKGā¦ I stg Iām going to incorporate that into the fic when I write it) AND JUST I think youāre really neat and I am a fan. Of you. djsakgjkdsg. šš

Hello ā¤ļø
tell me everything about your show, I wasn't able to catch the lives for the Paris show(s) so I wanna hear all about it!!!
I hope you had a great time!!! š
hi clem š
thanks for asking and for waiting š„°better late than never that they say... i wrote more than i tought i would so i put it under the cut ā„
(there was no signal at all so there weren't any lives i'm guessing) i arrived there late-ish and i was alone so while i tried to find a place towards the middle i ended up in the back of the venue, where i had more space, it wasn't as hot (it was REALLY hot, as you probably can tell by louis changing) and i could actually see the stage and not people heads.
this might be a bit of a disappointing recounting cause it's all a bit mixed up in my head. it was good, cause louis is always good live and he keeps improving, but i wasn't in the best place, phisically or mentally (i didn't even realize he didn't sing JHO until afterwards when i read about it... even asked if i could go sit upstairs after a few songs, but i was told there were no seats, which is a lie).
OTP were better than i remember, probably new songs? they started early, i did notice that š
my first thought was "wait is that PINK???" š (now i know it wasn't pink but red but in my brain it is pink). it was amazing to start the show with we made it live, i got this mushy feeling "yes babe WE MADE IT" š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
after a few songs, since i was feeling better i decided to be bad and pretend i was looking for my friend, i got to a good place but got greedy and tried to keep going and i couldn't see anything again or remember where i was right before so... back to the back š yes, i know, that wasn't nice of me, i'm not used to being at the back it felt weird.
overall my favorite memories are probably beautiful war, cause now that i know the lyrics and the melody i can focus on his voice and i closed my eyes and swayed there in the back and it feel so... beautiful and getting to hear copy live for the first time, finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm also very grateful that i was part of... OTB. i had a flag in barcelona, and held it very proudly first row, but it was nothing like how many flags there are right now. someone handed me both a orange sticker for my flashlight and a small lesbian flag and it's so nice to just... be there, and feel that sense of belonging.
i made a concious decision to not film (other than hoOoOme, i had to) or take many pictures so that helps making it feel even more unreal š i focused on screaming at the top of my lungs and jumping and giving my everything (not for LBD, i sat in the floor for that one, sorry louis i can't support your wrongs this time).
i also didn't sang that line in habit and screamed louder than everyone else for the next part cause i wanted him to feel my love from the back of the venue and that i needed him in front of me. oh, and during TTD everyone went crazy the venue was vibrating... i saved energy for KMM. yeah. i'm petty.
anyway, the stage was brilliant. the lights and the screens and the fireworks and LOUIS. he was really small from where i was but he looked very pretty in the screens and in both outfits āŗļøāŗļø
and yeah i thought i had less to say... i love louis so much ā„ and he sounded amazing ā„

Character ask: Mrs. Potts and Chip (Beauty and the Beast)
Favorite thing about them:
Mrs. Potts: Her kind, sensible, motherly nature. The men in the castle would be lost without her, and she's the ideal person to make Belle feel safe enough to gradually open her heart to the Beast. (Which is why the screenwriters created her.) Whenever any amateur critic accuses Beauty and the Beast of being a "not like other girls" movie, I always point to Mrs. Potts as a reminder that Belle isn't the only intelligent, positive female figure in the story.
Chip: How innocent and adorable he is, yet resourceful too, as he uses Maurice's invention to free Belle and Maurice from captivity at the climax.
(It's too bad that the stage musical and 2017 remake deprive him of that shining moment, either by cutting Belle and Maurice's imprisonment or by having them free themselves. Although I understand that it wouldn't have translated well into live action, especially not onstage.)
Least favorite thing about them: That Mrs. Potts doesn't share more conversations with Belle. The conversation they do share is good (and it makes the movie narrowly pass the Bechdel test), but I wish they talked later in the movie too: maybe a dressing room scene before the iconic dance to parallel the Beast's with Lumiere.
Three things I have in common with them:
*Like Mrs. Potts, I enjoy taking care of others.
*Like Chip, I can be playful and fun-loving.
*Like both, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
Three things I don't have in common with them:
*I've never been transformed into crockery.
*I'm not a servant in a castle.
*I'm neither an older mother nor a little boy.
Favorite line: Their exchange in the final scene:
Chip: Are they gonna live happily ever after, Mama?
Mrs. Potts: Of course, my dear. Of course.
Chip: Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?
(Mrs. Potts and Maurice laugh.)
And for Mrs. Potts alone, the lyrics to "Beauty and the Beast."
brOTP: Each other, Belle, Lumiere, Cogsworth, and the Beast/Prince after his character development.
OTP: For Mrs. Potts, her husband Jean in the live-action remake; in the animated version, none, although she might have some potential with Maurice as they get to know each other better. For Chip, none, he's too young.
nOTP: Each other.
Random headcanon: Chip is adopted. This explains how Mrs. Potts can be his mother when she looks older than childbearing age. In the animated canon, she might even have adopted him all by herself ā there might never have been a Mr. Potts. In past centuries, housekeepers were traditionally called "Mrs." as a matter of respect, even if they never married.
(That said, I don't agree with the fan theory that the Prince is Chip's real father by some peasant girl. The Beast's uncertainty of how to approach Belle and reliance on his servants' advice wouldn't make sense if he were a womanizer when he was human.)
Unpopular opinion: I'm not sure if this is unpopular or just disagreeing with some loud critics, but... They're true friends to Belle. They genuinely like her and care about her, as a person and not just as a potential spell-breaker. Some of the movie's detractors complain that the servants "only" befriend Belle because they want her to break the spell, but I think that's nonsense! The way that Mrs. Potts and Chip in particular speak to Belle and interact with her shows that they genuinely care about her.
Song I associate with them:
Mrs. Potts: What else?
youtube
Chip: The stage musical version of "Human Again," the only song in any incarnation of Disney's BatB where he sings.
youtube

For the ultimate ship memeā¦Letās do Smellershot
As always: Jet lives, and Longshot's a firebender. And, of course, I have to repeat what I said the last I did this (cause I actually did this once before for themš
)
MAH BABIES
Yeah, I love this pairing and these characters. Sue me. I'm still upset there's no Freedom Fighters-centric series, and probably always will be.
General:
Rate the Ship - Ā Awful | Ew | No pics pls | Iām not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Letās do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs (they are literally my OTP, so this shouldn't be too surprising)
How long will they last? - Roughly: yes. They'll last forever, and then a little bit longer than that, too.
How quickly did/will they fall in love? - They fell pretty quickly into being best friends, and they were those super touchy best friends (napping other's shoulders, feet in the lap, holding hands, etc.) that literally everyone they know is just waiting for them to get together. It took them a couple years to finally bridge the gap; they've both lost so much in their lives, and they want to be sure that this isn't something they'll lose.
How was their first kiss? - The one they remember is on the steps of an inn in the middle of nowhere on the road to Ba Sing Se; Longshot was being an idiot, so Smellerbee (literally) slapped some sense into him, then just kissed him. So, kinda hard. Their . first kiss, one they both barely remember and are certain is just a dream, was back in the Freedom Fighters' hideout. They'd slept together (and I do actually mean slept - this is before they got together) that night, it's early in the morning, first light peaking through the gaps in the wood planks, and they justā¦kiss. Neither of them really expect it or intend for it, and nothing really comes of it - but it's their first. (And yes, there is a moment where they repeat it, and suddenly they remember.)
Wedding:
Who proposed? - Longshot. It wasn't fancy or complicated or anything, he just kind of...said it one day. He simply signed, 'Marry me', and Smellerbee wasn't sure she understood him correctly until he spoke, asking the same question. (She instantly said yes.)
Who is the best man/men? - Jet, Pipsqueak and the Duke ("package deal" they said), and his childhood friend, Chang (he is an OC, deal with it). Longshot's three closest friends.
Who is the brideās maid(s)? - Longshot's older sister, Tomiko (also an OC) and Toph, probably.
Who did the most planning? - Smellerbee; it's her day, really, and Longshot just wants the love of his life to be happy.
Who stressed the most? - Honestly? Neither was really stressed at all.
How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 (it's small, simple, and so very, very, very sweet) | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.
Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - There's really no one they expressly didn't invite, to be honest.
Sex:
Who is on top? - Uhhhh it's kinda about half and half, really; they're not picky at all.
Who is the one to instigate things? - Smellerbee; about a 65/35 split.
How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now
How kinky are they? - Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys (They can get a bit freaky from time to time - nothing too out of this world, but they're not exactly vanilla) | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Donāt go into the sex dungeon without a horseās head
How long do they normally last? - During the war, when they're constantly on the run, they can only afford minutes at time, really. But afterwards? Afterwards...a while, when they feel like it. They've got a pretty peaceful life, and they're going to take every moment they can and put it to very good use.
Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - Abso-fucking-lutely they do.
How rough are they in bed? - Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bedās shaking and squeaking every time | 6 (They can be rough, but they also really like soft and slow a lot; honestly, they like it a little more.)| 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar itād make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wallās so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.
How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.
Children:
How many children will they have naturally? - They only have 1 child; a daughter named Jia, after Longshot's mother.
How many children will they adopt? - Every orphan and kid in a tough spot in their neighborhood becomes, unofficially, theirs. Their house kinda becomes an impromptu orphanage, with a bed/bedroll for every child who needs it.
Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - They split it pretty evenly, but Smellerbee forces Longshot to take care of it at night (that she wakes him up so easily is something everyone says is amazing, because Longshot sleeps like the dead, and no one else can do it).
Who is the stricter parent? - Longshot, generally, but that's not saying much; he just doesn't want the kids to be out adding to the population, subtracting from it, and staying out of jail and the hospital.
Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Both, but they really don't have any room to talk. They did spend years living in trees and getting around with jury-rigged ziplines that weren't exactly what you'd call "compliant with OSHA".
Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - He's normally up, so Longshot does it, but it's Smellerbee who makes the food (see below).
Who is the more loved parent? - It's Smellerbee; she gets in almost as much trouble as the kids do. (Who do you think gave them the idea in the first place?)
Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - Longshot; Smellerbee goes if they need to threaten school administration into not being stupid.
Who cried the most at graduation? - Longshot's stoic as hell, but he cried like a baby for every single graduation.
Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Well, Smellerbee is probably in jail with the kids, so it's normally Longshot.
Cooking:
Who does the most cooking? - Longshot is...kinda banned from cooking. For life. One too many incidents involving burned soup, near-forest-fires, and Jet lacking eyebrows for a month convinced the Freedom Fighters that he should not be anywhere near a kitchen. And Smellerbee likes their house a lot, so she maintains the ban.
Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Longshot grew up in the FN colonies. The boy needs his spicy food. Smellerbee, not so much - she'll eat just about anything.
Who does the grocery shopping? - Together, when they can.
How often do they bake desserts? - They both have a massive sweet tooth, so they make desserts constantly. They always have mooncakes or fire-flakes or...whatever, really.
Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Meat. Always meat for them. They'll eat salad sometimes, but rarely.
Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Longshot always remembers things like that, but he doesnāt cook, so when he does get together a full dinner spread, itās a big day. It's also usually takeout (kitchen ban), but Smellerbee doesn't hold that against him.
Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Neither, really, although they try to make an occasion of it once every week or two, just so they can go see their friends in town.
Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - Longshot, by a large margin (see above). Smellerbee isn't the best cook in the world, but she can avoid getting rid of forests and eyebrows.
Chores:
Who cleans the room? - Whichever one gets to it, first.
Who is really against chores? - They're just happy to have a place to live; they'll gladly take care of it.
Who cleans up after the pets? - Again, whichever gets to it first.
Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Considering how long it took him to admit that he had a crush on Bee, it's probably Longshot.
Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - They don't really have guests, and when they do, it's normally one of the kids coming by or one of the Freedom Fighters, occasionally one of the members of Team Avatar. So they don't really stress too hard.
Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Longshot found it, gave it to Bee.
Misc:
Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Bee really hates being cold, so she stays in the warmth as long as she possibly can.
Who takes the dog out for a walk? - He just kinda walks himself, honestly. They both like going out with him, but...separately. They each use it as their personal time.
How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - They only do the big ones - Lunar New Year and Winter Solstice - but they go all out for them.
What are their goals for the relationship? - They spent so much of their lives just trying to survive, one day to the next, and all they really want is time to relax.
Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Longshot may sleep like the dead, but he's up at sunrise every day. Bee, on the other hand, well she'd sleep until noon every day if she had the choice.
Who plays the most pranks? - Smellerbee. She was born a troublemaker, and she stays that way her entire life. She's playing pranks into her 80s.

A quick analysis of the puppy scene in 3x15, because my OTP is perfect.
This is honestly just a whole lot of gushing and flailing, tbh. Because Kurt and Blaine and their relationship are wonderful and I love them so, so much.Ā So much so that I can write paragraphs on a scene that is barely one minute long.Ā
This somehow ended up being much longer than I intended, oops. Hope you enjoy it :)
We start off this scene with Blaine alone at his locker, presumably putting away his belongings from his last class, and you can still see Kurtās āGay-diddy-gay-gay-gayāĀ class council election poster on the inside of Blaineās locker, even months after Kurt lost the election. But Blaine still keeps it up, because he loves Kurt, and if he had it his way, Kurt would win everything. Awww.Ā He appears to be deep in thought, and whenĀ Kurt hides behind Blaineās locker, speaking in the worldāsĀ most adorably terrible British accent, it startles Blaine for a second.
And man, does that make me sad. This is a kid that has been bullied, undoubtedly shoved into lockers and pushed here and there just like Kurt was. He hears an unfamiliar voice and immediately flinches back in fear, expecting the worst.Ā
But it isnāt the worst - itās the best. Because itās Kurt, the person Blaine loves more than anything, hiding behind the locker, and itās Kurt speaking in that cute-ass accent holding a stuffed puppy in front of his face.Ā
(Side note - I once read that Chris Colfer improvised the dialogue and accent of this scene, as well as coming up with the name for the puppy, which totally checks out since Chris is a huge Anglophile.)
And as soon as Blaine recognizes his boyfriend, his face breaks out into the sunniest smile, and he does his signature āKurt-made-me-laughā move, the blushy head-duck (see here for reference).Ā
Kurt also looks similarly delighted to see Blaine, because Blaine is lovely and Kurt loves him so, so much, and because heās also excited to show Blaine the gift he got him and help Blaine out with his problems. Kurt really loves Blaine, yāall. He looks so damn proud of the stuffed animal he got for him and equally proud of his own ability to make Blaine laugh with his clever puns.Ā
Kurt goes on to explain that Finn won the stuffed puppy while out at the amusement park for Senior Skip Day, along with thirteen others for Rachel, and as soon as he says this, Blaine nods along as if to say - oh, of course, that Rachel - because Blaine is considerate as hell and knows his friends very well.Ā And in honest-to-god Kurt fashion, bb stole the puppy from his brother, because Kurt is the definition of Be Gay, Do Crime, and he also recognizes that Rachel does not need 14 different stuffed animals.Ā
He pouts a little right then, telling Blaine that he wanted to give it to him so that Blaine would have something, since Kurt wasnāt able to convince Blaine to go with them on the field trip. I wonder how that conversation went.Ā
Also, pouty Kurt is fucking adorable. Protect him at all costs.
Blaine is melancholy again, telling Kurt that he would have just brought the mood down for the group. And when Blaine says this? Kurt stops beating around the bush and gets straight to the point.Ā
Sweetly stroking the stuffed puppy, Kurt tells Blaine that he understands him. That he gets that family problems are hard, because theyāre hard for him too. He uses himself as an example to try and get his point across to Blaine more effectively, and mentions that he and Finn disagree on nearly everything, but at the end of the day, they love one another and are always there for one another despite their differences.Ā
Iām also getting so many brotherly Furt feelings from Kurt referring to Finn asĀ āthe big lugā and talking about how much he loves him. Ugh. I also cry at the lineĀ where Kurt tells Blaine that he only has one brother and shouldnāt give up on that, given what happens to Finn.Ā I wish weād gotten more of that relationship in canon before Coryās untimely passing, because they clearly had so much love for one another, both on-screen and off.
Anyway, Kurt sees the love he has with his brother and wants Blaine to be able to experience the same thing, because he loves Blaine so, so much and he thinks that Blaine deserves everything great in this world. He also brings back the cute-ass accent, and upon seeing Blaine look upset, bumps Margaret Thatcher Dog against Blaineās cheek to get him to smile again - which Blaine absolutely does; his face is bright and sunny again because of Kurtās silliness. Awww.Ā
Kurt tells Blaine never to give up, and Blaine indignantly responds that Cooper is the one who is leaving for a big audition. Kurt pauses, and tells Blaine that Cooper hasnāt actually left him yet. He says that Cooper isĀ waiting in the auditorium, hoping that Blaine will come and talk to him and make things right. This line very strongly implies that Kurt and Cooper coordinated this, and that Kurt made an effort of talking to Cooper to try and arrange a meeting with Blaine - because in a matter of mere days, Kurt was able to glean how important their relationship was to Blaine and wanted to do everything he could to fix it.Ā Give him all the boyfriend awards, folks.
Iām kidding. Please donāt start the Better Boyfriend Olympics again, lol.
Blaine huffs out that talking doesnāt actually work with Cooper, and that heās tried it to no avail. And Kurt just nods knowingly, as if he was aware that Blaine would say that. And though it isnāt explicitly mentioned, I bet he did know. He then goes on to say that perhaps talking isnāt the best answer for Blaine. MaybeĀ thereās something else, a better method of communicating his feelings that would work more for Blaine.Ā
Okay. You know what this reminds me of? Flash back a year, to Silly Love Songs. This is (perhaps unintentionally) a direct callback to 2x12. Back when Blaine was still crushing on someone who is not Kurt, he said this to the Warblers about his idea to serenade Jeremiah.Ā
Blaine (2011): I'm not really goodĀ at talking about my feelings.Ā I'm much better at singing them.
And here are Kurtās words, from more than a year later.Ā
Kurt (2012): Maybe talking is not the answer. Maybe you need to show him how you really feel in the best, most honest way you know how.Ā
Can I just stop right here and squeal a little bit? Because Kurt knows his boyfriend so, so well. He remembers the things that Blaine tells him, even things from over a year ago. He holds onto this key piece of information about Blaine, because Blaine is important to him and the things he tells Kurt are worth remembering.Ā And here, in this scene, he puts his memory to good use to try and remind Blaine of his most effective and heartfelt form of communication so that he can help Blaine mend fences with his brother.Ā
GIVE HIM THE BOYFRIEND AWARDS, FOLKS!
Kurt is so, supportive of Blaine and just wants the best for him, and it just boggles my mind when people claim that Kurt didnāt love Blaine as much as Blaine loved him, because from even short simple scenes like this one, anyone can tell that it isnāt true.Ā
After listening to Kurt, Blaine stops, and for the first time, genuinely considers it. Prior to this, all of Cooperās attempts at talking couldnāt get through to him.Ā Blaine still felt the jealousy and resentment from all those years growing up. But after hearing Kurtās advice, he puts that aside and realizes that some things, like family, are more important, and so he makes that decision to go see his brother and try and express his feelings in a different way.Ā
Blaine turns to go meet Cooper, and Kurt watches him go, looking so damn proud of his boyfriend and so, so hopeful...
Yāall know what happens next. Blaine and Cooper, a pair of brothers, sing a breakup song. Yet somehow, it works. Singing manages to communicate all of those emotions that were suppressed before, and opens the doors for real conversation between the two of them. They do successfully patch things up, with Cooper finally recognizing Blaineās talent and Blaine trying to support Cooper in future endeavors. They are on a path to a close relationship, which is all both of them had ever really wanted in the first place.Ā
And if not for Kurtās advice, this may not have happened.Ā Yāall heard that right - Kurt Hummel helped Blaine patch things up with a member of his family because he knew how important it was to Blaine, and he knew how badly Blaine wanted this even if Blaine didnāt let it show. From all the bits and pieces of information weāve gathered over the years about Blaineās family, they donāt appear to be all that close, which is why itās even more important for Blaine that he is able to reconcile with his brother.
(For more of my thoughts on Blaineās family, feel free to check out this analysis of mine. Yeah, this is a shameless self promo. Deal with it.)
So...what was the point of this analysis? Iām not quite sure. I suppose I just had a lot of feelings about Blaine, Klaine, family, and the way that Kurt shows love. Like Iāve said millions of times, just because Kurt is more subtle in the way that he shows love to Blaine, doesnāt mean that itās any less powerful. Scenes like this, in which he handpicks Blaineās own words and uses them to push Blaine towards something he was too afraid to admit he really wanted? Kurt helping reconcile Blaine with his family?Ā This is Klaine at its best, and scenes like this are why I will always, always ship this couple.Ā
Kurt and Blaine are incredible, yāall.Ā
Peace.Ā
