He’s a little cutie patootie ^_^ 💜💜
He’s a proud know-it-all and we love him for it
Also he’s KIND OF a smart ass buuuut y’know that’s okay right
Mary and John looking at him like “WHAT.”
Here’s your post Ryder Altair chat eat up 💜🍽️
Be nice to him he’s one step away from SOBBING after seeing John again /j
Close ups and more info after the cut ^_^

Fun fact: He does in fact become a therapist, more specifically a child therapist because he wanted to, y’know, help children that might be having issues mentally or at home
Also because he really wants a kid to look at him like a father figure but we don’t talk about that 💔
I might make him be ANOTHER therapist for Ryder because bro needs to talk to more people about his problems fr, sorry sins, John, Mary, THE GHOSTS, Jack, etc, y’all aren’t enough (half of those people aren’t 100% present all the time, cough cough John and Mary especially)
Altair literally researches the heck out of everything and he writes down EVERYTHING his clients do or say that could be a sign of something
He also keeps random drawings his clients make him, they’re like rewards
He’s gonna have a field day with the LOTF kids, sins, Ryder, AND the daycare kids 😭
He’s a “listen now, question later” kind of guy, he always has been.
#THANK YOU BEAN HEHEHE#He stayed up half the night researching but he’ll be fine probably#He tries to not overwork himself but it doesn’t really work#It’s not like how John and Mary are though#He knows his limits and doesn’t try to go over them#UNLIKE THE TWO THAT TRY TO DO STUFF WHEN THEY’RE SICK#‘John please just lay down’ ‘Mary hun that’s not safe to do while you’re sick :(‘#bro would probably have to take care of the whole Emerson household at one point

Fake Week
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/fff7d7b7a28874f1aec53ef18b27e912/cb365f9bc19d50c6-07/s540x810/b456f48c56e3cf5f1563043f703ef026e5e38383.jpg)
“What kind of sicko are you Kane? I will not wear this… this butt plug. Its bad enough I have to pretend to be your girlfriend for a month so you’ll stop bullying Kevin but I’m not going indulge you in this sick game and wear some lewd sex toy of yours. I don’t care if this is what all your exes did! You’ll knock it down to just a week if I do? Alright fine but I’m cleaning it first. Maybe cleaning it more than once.”
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/14472caab6cb708b0badb5a75afb9c25/cb365f9bc19d50c6-20/s540x810/01b1b5df486d5c94aa802310e972ca52112519f4.jpg)
“Are you happy now Kane? No you don’t get to check it! No wonder you’re single, you’re such a creep! Oh sure you wanted to see it was fitting fine and not hurting me? Yeah right how stupid do you think I am? And besides it fits perfectly, like really perfect actually. I uh got to go.”
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/50d40a0c4e970514a7ad61c46d6d95b7/cb365f9bc19d50c6-c0/s540x810/33031e2128c68bdb986f43d84d8a3ce57fe79068.jpg)
“Yeah so what if I’m putting on makeup? I figured if I’m going to sell being your girlfriend I should probably start looking like those vapid bitches you are used to dating. Plus this is so easy, don’t know why I didn’t try it before. It’s just an act, you’re still a creep and once today is done I’ll be one day closer to not having to pretend to be your girlfriend!”

“It’s called yoga Kane. All you exes are flexible, athletic bitches so I thought I might as well act like I care about this stuff. I have to say though I’ve seen such a crazy improvement in just a few hours. It’s like magic! I can stretch and twist like never before and I’ve seen improvements in other areas too. Areas I see you’re checking out you cheeky bastard. I guess it is a pretty amazing ass now so I’ll allow it but don’t get any ideas, I’m just your fake girlfriend for 5 more days.”

“I never noticed how long my hair had gotten lately, it was getting in my face all the time during yoga so I decided to put it into a high ponytail, you know like one of your exes, and it’s so freeing. I used to think it was so bitchy looking but now honestly I think it’s sexy like this don’t you think? Of course you agree, I can see that bulge in your pants ‘babe’. Hmmm it’s kind of hawt seeing someone other that Kevin be turned on by me. Even with him it’s so few and far between lately. Maybe in four days when I’m back to being his girlfriend he’ll like this new hairstyle.”

“Ugh why are my so called friends so annoying today? They were complaining that I was saying mean things about Margo. All I said was if she wanted to ever get a guy she should maybe lay off the ice cream once and awhile. It’s not my fault the fatty started to cry. She should thank me for being honest with her. I should be more honest with the lot of them and kick them to the curb but they’re the only friends I’ve got. You’ve heard Amber and Mercedes want to be friends with me? The two biggest bully’s in school, but they are pretty cool and fashionable unlike these other dweebs. Maybe I’ll give them a text, thanks for the encouragement…. babe.”

“You were right about Amber and Mercedes. We texted all day yesterday and met up at the mall and went shopping. They convinced me to throw out all my lame clothes and buy a totally new look. It’s mostly pink and tight and sexy as hell. They also convinced me about something else. About you. I’ve been such a brat to you these past few days and you’ve been nothing but a gentleman to me. It’s time you got some sort of reward for your troubles. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t going to be a reward for me too. Just stand there looking handsome as hell and I’ll do the rest.”

“Hey baby, last night was mmmm really hawt but don’t tell anyone ok? I don’t want Kevin to know that I cheated on him last night… or this morning… or in your car later today. I can’t help it if you can’t keep your hands off me. I mean who can blame you? Plus you are MY boyfriend for two more days. Of course I told Amber and Mercedes though, they’re my besties, I had to tell them. Plus they were so impressed by what a bitchy thing my cheating was that they made me their new leader. Wasn’t your ex their old leader? Well I’m going to being even badder and bitchier than she was. Mmm that’s making me so horny. Fuck it let’s go to your car now.”
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3da24aa43449e80d068b1261349dd414/cb365f9bc19d50c6-00/s640x960/cc8790d9560b2ee37c20f78f127e3194c3e2311f.jpg)
“Last day of our ‘relationship’. It’s only right that we get all the fucking in that we can. Glad to see your stamina is up to the task. Kevin wouldn’t last a fraction that you are capable of. What a fucking loser, can’t believe I have to go back to him tomorrow. Why am I doing this again? To stop you bullying him? He deserves to be bullied and you’re soooo hawt doing it. I never admitted since putting in the butt plug I’ve been touching myself at night thinking about you wailing on him. You’re so much more of a man than he ever will be. You know what? Fuck him. I deserve a strong, mean, and hot as hell boyfriend and you deserve a bitchy queen bee of a girlfriend. Kevin deserves to be the victim. Forgot our deal, I’m yours for good now and Kevin is all yours.”
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5b7f29105ce5f109232b6a6603907385/cb365f9bc19d50c6-58/s540x810/98d7d16b700e70da8b21562388ad8c470f52b794.jpg)
“Oh the jacket? It belongs to my boyfriend, Kane. You know, your bully? Me date you? As if loser, I’ve always been Kane’s girl and always will. It’s like I was made for him. You’re just some simping creep who’s wanted in my panties for years. Everyone knows it, because my beta besties Amber and Mercedes are telling them right now. Those two can spread news like wildfires. You’ll be a pariah by the end of the day. Kane will be cheered on for bullying you. Mmmm speaking of which here he comes. Don’t forget to cry, it makes me so wet when you do.”

☆♪Ace x childhood best friend reader (who he has a crush on)☆♪
I’m trying to make my titles more appealing and fun to look at hopefully it’s working~!
(still not bothering with aesthetics this is something i personally wanna do)
For the record these are gender neutral so no worries
How y’all met? I’m not gonna go into specifics but you likely went into his territory
unless you met on one of his trips to the city for food n such
those three brothers are close and two didn’t trust easily back then
But once you make it in they’re circle there’s no backing down
from then on you always go to play with them and go on adventures together
they decided to keep you as a friend rather than a sibling
(back to present)~
ace honestly loves you because you accepted him, your cool, your (likely) strong whether that’s mentally or physically and most of all you’ve stuck by his side all this time
even him and luffy went they’re separate ways to become pirates
but you? You two met and have never separated since
you��ve literally kept your promise not to leave unlike no other
your always there
finally he has someone in his corner
and someone as cool as you?? How could he not fall in love 😍😍
Really he figured it out while just spacing out one day real early
like early enough to see the sunrise
he was just staring off, scouting just in case, although his mind was mostly on you
he laughed to himself thinking about memories of you two
and even more so that your still here
he noticed how nervous he now was to talk to you when you got up
he had a funny feeling in his stomach, his hands/breathing was jittery and he kept running his hand through his hair, trying to fight a smile
he was so incredibly nervous yet excited to see you!!
but why?! Today’s an ordinary day!
what is he some kind of love sick puppy?!…
lovesick?
LOVE???
WAIT WHAT THE CRAP HE NEVER CONSIDERED THAT!!
wait….no way, right?? He’s in love??
bro WHAT?! HE’S IN LOVE??
he’s..in love with (name)
wow…all this time he never even thought of that
NOW HE REALIZES HOW FLIRTY HE’S BEEN WITH YOU?!
it wasn’t even intentional!!
and now that he realizes it…….he always has the funny feeling every time he talks to you!
and his heart spikes when you call him!
bro…..wow.
*sits there in realization for the next hour*
how he acts when he has a crush:
Honestly he’s just trying to impress you and make you happy in every way
he acts chivalrous, paying for all the diners you stop at, opening doors, pulling out chairs, reminding you of things, grabbing your coat, doing you favors (ones you didn’t ask for but appreciate)
yes this is all very cliche and cheesy but you can’t go wrong with that right??
I mean…does it look like he knows how to love?! 😀
he never met either of his parents!! 😬🤦♀️
bro is trying his best okay?? 🤷♀️
he playfully shows off
he does it in a way that’s not annoying too, it doesn’t feel like he’s bragging when he does it
”hurrrr look at my big musclessss! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ”
LOLLL
he does it in a way that makes you laugh so it seems more like a joke
he gets you meaningful trinkets and stuff he remembers you like/said your wanted
when you two join the WBP
he also asks Marco and Izo for advice on how to act around you (just act normal bro)
as well as whitebeard!!
Thatch too
he rambled to literally everyone except you about you
then he has to beg and do favors for them not to tell you all the cheesy/embarrassing things he says
goodness Ace 🤦♀️
he goes around like a love sick puppy for a few weeks ranting about you and celebrating about becoming a man (😂💗)
but then when Marco asks when he’s gonna ask you out….
Ace FREAKS out.
like he literally forgot about that part-
IS IT TOO LATE?! DID YOU ALREADY FIND ANOTHER MAN??-
wait you two are childhood best friends you would’ve told him 🤨
oh.
okay well great!-
now……how does he confess?🧍♀️
seriously he doesn’t know how. He doesn’t know what to say, do or give you
OR where to do it OR when OR if he’s even good enough OR if you won’t like him..
WAIT WHAT IF HE’S NOT A GOOD ENOUGH BOYFRIEND?!
wait..WHAT IF YOU DON’T LOVE HIM BACK⁉️
He’s feels like giving up already😞
theres so many women/men in the world why would you want some lost parentless pirate who questions his existence…
now when he goes to Marco and says all that he just laughs at him and calls him emo 😊
no but in all seriousness he brings Ace back to his senses and reminds him about what if you DO love him back 😏
😮🤩🤩
he forgot all about that!- (😀)
WAIT WHAT IF YOU DO LIKE HIM BACK!!
THIS IS SO EXCITING!!
him and Marco run to find izo and have a bro meeting immediately
which happens and the three immediately start planning the confession >:3
they put they’re heads together to conjure something they know you’d like but doesn’t seem too sappy
his confession !! 🤩
the next time the ship stops at an island he takes you to a calm beach area where you relax and have some fun all day
your nakama are around but it mostly just seem like the world is just you and Ace right now
midday is when Ace strikes!
this was izo’s idea
no! it’s not because if he had to wait the next day to interact with you as his girlfriend he wouldn’t get any sleep >:(
Ace brought the topic to your childhood past together as you ate lunch and at some point you didn’t notice he transitioned to how he feels about you and how much he cares about you and that it would be everything to him if you became his girlfriend.
now it’s your turn to ‘WAIT WHAT’ :)
that was so smooth!
you didn’t even notice he was trying to confess until the end!
Wow did that surprise you!
at least your muscles were still working so that you could nod your head because you certainly didn’t know what to say!
____________「what do you say?」____________
____________Yes. No.____________ ________________________ (mini bonus): if you aspired to be a pirate, simply don’t mind or would like to support his dream, you joined the spade pirates! (Which obviously gets consumed into the whitebeard pirates, but hey your captain made the decision so you don’t mind). If your strong he’ll make you vice captain since your his first ever nakama. <3 otherwise you might be the navigator, medic or something else your good at! Likely not something that puts you in immediate danger though. He worries about the ones he loves leaving him too much for that.
HOPE YOU ENJOYED LOVLIES !! 🦋🦋
I need to write about ace more but I also needs get past the impel down arc but I also don’t (spoiler) wanna watch his death but I also wanna see more of his backstory and finish one piece and- 。.:*。.:*💥 _:(´o`」 ∠): …… d( ̄  ̄) - I’m good

GHOST ESTABLISHED / LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP HCS
!! CW ;; SLIGHTLY TOXIC DYNAMIC ? PERHAPS ? MENTIONS OF SUICIDE, STUFF RELATED 2 FPS N BPD, MENTIONS OF S/H, PURGING N ALC, IDK WHAT ELSE 2 ADD THT MIGHT NEED A WARNING. !!
💀— He’s so emotionally dependent on you tht his entire mood depends on how you are and how you treat him. Smthn as simply as not responding 2 a text fast enough can and might send him in2 a full breakdown
💀— he’s so so paranoid, even 2wards you sometimes. Constantly worries tht there are people coming after you n him or tht you’re cheating on him. He’s thought abt it so much tht he’s decided tht if you were 2 ever cheat on him, he’d stay; he just can’t fucking live w out you. Wld he b angry and hurt ? Of course. But he’d stay nonetheless.
💀— has unmedicated and undiagnosed BPD, and if y’all are dating than you’re most likely his FP. Being his fp is so hard bcuz, asides frm the emotional dependence mentioned above, his splitting episodes are **horrible**. He’s distant and cold but keep pushing and he’ll completely blow on you, he’d never hurt you physically but he’ll yell and insult you like no 2mrw which is so unlike him 2 do. Even during arguments he stays calm and collected despite his rising anger so seeing him like this is definitely scary.
💀— there is definitely some trauma bond going on between you 2, especially from his side.
💀— will allow horrible treatment frm you, n will convince himself it’s bcuz you love him. You cld treat him exactly like his father did and he’d still stay bcuz, as I said, he can’t live w out you (or thts what he believes). Any abuse coming frm you will b met w acceptance frm him, and if any of his teammates show concern he’ll distant himself frm them, convincing himself tht they’re trying 2 separate you two (which is what they shld in this case lmao.)
💀— switches frm hypersexual 2 sex repulsed and vice versa so fast.
💀— prefers to wear his mask around you more than around strangers, idk how 2 explain it but it’s almost like. He looks like his father, or thts what he sees, so he sees himself as the epitome of ugliness. His mask brings him comfort as well, and you bring him comfort, so it’s double the comfort. If you’re his fp, he’ll let you see his face out of fear of abandonment, which funnily enough he’ll also worry abt you abandoning him once you see his face 4 the first time. No amount of telling him he’s beautiful will change tht.
💀— speaking of abandonment, he’s constantly worried abt it. He sees you as deserving better than him, almost seeing you as superior 2 him, so he’s mentally “prepared” 4 you 2 leave once you find some1 better. If tht day ever comes though, it’ll turn out tht he’s not prepared at all, he’ll lose his fucking shit, might even attempt suicide if you’re his fp.
💀— has days where he doesn’t want to b touched, and he’ll distant himself even more if you break tht boundary. Best thing to do is to sit in silence w him, each doing your own activity but staying within the same area.
💀 — he’s so clingy during bad days, but he won’t try 2 initiate anything. Mostly just following you around like a puppy, hoping you realize tht he’s not doing well and comfort him.
💀— if you’re also in the military, he’ll b worried sick when you’re away on deployment. So worried he can’t sleep n refuses 2 eat, and nothing his teammates do cld help w his state. Letters and calls help a bit but they don’t do much, he needs you 2 physically b w him so tht he knows you’re safe n sound.
💀— love language is acts of service; he’ll help w the housework when he can or he’ll do other things such as brushing your hair, doing your reports 4 you, feeding any pets you might have, just generally helping whenever he can.
💀— in a trustful, long term relationship he’s surprisingly submissive, both sexually and casually. He likes being told what 2 do by you, he loves the feeling of being guided and obedient. Once again this is smthn I find hard 2 explain but it’s like the act of being praised for doing good and feeling useful enough tht you’ll hopefully keep him around longer makes him feel safe n content, in a way.
💀— obsessively thinks (and worries) abt you n your safety.
💀— picks up on your bad coping mechanism. You self harm ? He’ll do it too 2 guilt trip you in2 stopping, or bcuz he wants 2 join you in2 it as a sick way of bonding. You purge what you eat ? He’ll join you on your b/p episodes. Drink too much once stressed ? He finds himself doing the same. He doesn’t even realize he’s started doing it until you point it out.

Hey. so that AU where Lilia Calderu is trying to ignore the world and do her thing in quiet in the early 2000s when her past and future self keep showing up to yell at her until she blinks and finds herself on the streets of Sokovia staring down two small recently orphaned and now homeless children, one of whom has the most terrifying magical aura about her. Or the Maximoff twins, raised by Lilia, and oh how they'd annoy the Avengers.
Oh my God, the chaos though. So much chaos.
Orphaned children who do not know who this random crazy woman is, and why should we go with you? Lilia who’s like, because I’m sick of talking to myself about you, that’s why. But also magics up some decent, warm clothes for them, some food. And hey, you’re welcome to stay in this Sokovian orphanage that looks like the most Dickensian, stereotypically bad orphanage I’ve ever seen, and I’ve lived a really long time.
Wanda and Pietro who think for awhile that Lilia must’ve been in some kind of explosion too. At least something that caused a head injury. Because they’ll be having a perfectly reasonable conversation—by Lilia standards—and then Lilia will just blurt out these random things that make no sense. They’re honestly kinda terrified she’s an escaped mental patient, especially when she starts going on about how Wanda’s a witch with all this untapped power.
“Like on Bewitched?” Because of course that’s where Wanda takes it.
And, mistake, because then there’s this 20 minute rant about how offensive and demeaning and stereotypical that show is, that the kids are just staring at wide-eyed, hoping Lilia interrupts herself with one of her random bits of gibberish. Alas, no dice that day, so they have to suffer her entire spiel about how terrible that show is, which just leaves Wanda deeply offended because shut up, she likes that show.
Pietro just, I don’t like it either, I told her it was stupid. Which gets him a “Good boy,” and a pat on the head from Lilia, not unlike what you’d give a dog.
Twins who think she’s absolutely lost it with this witch stuff, okay, okay, clearly Lilia has some weird ass hidden talents, but Wanda sure doesn’t. Until Lilia coaches Wanda into reading her mind, just a little bit, and oh, okay well, this is new. Wanda who immediately wants to learn more of that please, but no, nope, we’re starting out small, kiddo, you don’t need to be reading your brother’s mind.
Wanda asserts that there’s no trouble there, Pietro’s head is totally empty after all, and then Lilia’s refereeing a bickering match between 10-year-olds and just, sigh.
Lilia telling people that these are her poor, oh so tragically orphaned niece and nephew, and threatening to hex Pietro when he says grandchildren might be more convincing. She also totally uses them in her act, for cuteness and sympathy, oh how about a reading so I can feed my poor little orphan niece and nephews? Did I mention they were orphans?
Pietro grumbling about the unfairness of why Wanda gets cool witch powers and he doesn’t. They’re twins after all; shouldn’t he be a wizard or something? Wanda who lords her new skills over him at first, haha, look what I can do, then realizes that 1, it actually does make him feel bad, and 2—more importantly—he’s gonna be really boring to play with and unable to keep up with her if she doesn’t throw him some sort of bone.
Lilia comes down to breakfast one morning and suddenly Pietro has speedster powers, because of course he does, sigh. Well, that was nice of you, Wanda, sharing is caring, but also never do that again. Partly because it’s incredibly reckless and dangerous, mostly because it’ll now make my life even more complicated.
Lilia meeting up with a fellow witch for something, someone who clocks what Wanda is, or has the potential to be, and just, you have the most powerful magical being in the universe, someone who might be on track to destroy the world, you have this kid hanging out with you in your dumpy little shop shuffling tarot cards?
Lilia’s offense at that, I have a scared, orphaned child with me, who yeah might destroy the world, jury’s still out on that, but who is much, much more likely to do so if she’s running around with all this power and no training. Also, my shop is not dumpy, shut the fuck up.
Kids who are utterly thrilled when Tony Stark is missing and presumed dead, and look at Lilia with complete disgust when she has one of her walkabout moments and tells them Stark isn’t actually dead, he’s gonna come back and be a superhero and they’re gonna help save his life soonish. Twins just, no, absolutely not, thanks but no thanks, mom, we refuse, take away our allowance if you must but no.
And then stuff happens and they end up in New York where all these aliens are causing trouble and they wind up stopping Tony from having to fly into space with the nuke—he still makes the sacrifice play, he still tries to do the right thing, he just gets his play interrupted by a girl in a Hot Topic getup who’s really good at stopping missiles from going off, huh, who knew, where’d she learn that? Which stops Tony from having his Thanos visions and embarking on his descent into paranoia and ‘I must save the whole world by myself even though I literally just joined a team of really powerful co-workers who’s whole thing is helping each other save the world.’ Which ultimately stops the Civil War from going like it did, which in turn means the Avengers are whole and united when Thanos comes to Earth, and are able to stop him. Which stops the Snap, which stops Endgame, which means Tony doesn’t die.
So, Lilia is once again always right, much to the annoyance of the twins who really weren’t that interested in saving Tony’s life but eh, whatever, pluses and minuses to everything.
Also, Stephen Strange showing up at Lilia’s door at some point to discuss the twins because Lilia just, yeah, yeah, Sorcerer Supreme, whatever, such an ego, no, you’re not just whisking my kid off to your little health spa in Tibet, yeah, no, that’s not happening. If you do, you're gonna have to take him with you, they're a package deal, yes even if he doesn't have magic.
Strange meeting Pietro and just, yeah, maybe I don't actually wanna do this after all, maybe we can discuss some kind of alternate arrangement for continuing her training.
#agatha all along#lilia calderu#wanda maximoff#pietro maximoff#the true chaos magic would be these 3 together

Hi I don’t know if you’ve answered this before but I just saw the headcanons you made about Soda being sick and I was wondering if you had any headcanons about how everyone likes to be taken care of when they’re sick? And could I be your 🎃 anon if it’s not taken? Thank you!!
Ooh ofc!! I’ll do my best!
Ponyboy
With Ponyboy, he’ll never admit it but he just wants to be held. He probably won’t seek it out but the gang knows to just hold him for a bit. He doesn’t have the weakest immune system? But he does have a VERY weak stomach and gets stress induced stomachaches very easily and it’s always obvious but he tries to hide it because he feels like a burden to his brothers already, even post book he feels like a burden so he just tries to hide it but he has a VERY vocal tummy that has no problem ratting him out. He also likes being red to. It’ll put him to sleep in five seconds flat.
Soda
Soda likes constant cuddles, but unlike Pony he’s VERY vocal about it. I feel like he’s whiny too when he’s sick lol-like you try to get up for even a second and he’s whining for you to come back because he wants more cuddles. Soda has a very strong immune system (probably because he ate rocks and dirt as a kid but shhhhhh) but he too feels like a burden. But it’s very obvious when he’s sick. Sometimes Darry will take off work but it’s kind of rare. If he and Pony have work and school Pony will tell Steve and Steve will up and skip school for him. He just loves being held.
Darry
Darry is difficult. I think he’d want to be left alone because god forbid he gets the rest of the gang sick. He also really just doesn’t want to be touched because he feels gross and sweaty. He does however really enjoy sick foods like soup and crackers. It just makes him happy. He’s VERY stubborn’ tho and Pony/Soda need to literally threaten not to talk to him if he pulls that shit. He has a fairly strong immune system. But when he’s sick it’s really intense. He gets headaches a lot and that paired with chronic back pain it just isn’t pretty.
Johnny
Johnny…it’s hard with him. He’s not really used to being taken care of? So he honestly probably just hangs out in the lot because he doesn’t want anyone else to get sick. However usually Dally or Darry will see him and they’ll drag him to wherever they’re staying. I feel like he just wants to get better as soon as possible to get out of everyone’s hair, but in all honesty it feels good to be taken care of. I feel like when he gets sick it’s like…these really awful things. He doesn’t get to eat often so he probably eats from dumpsters and whatnot (or at least he used to) but he’s gotten worms and shit. It’s intense. But he has the strongest immune system I think. He’s learned.
Dallas
Dallas doesn’t get sick. But when he does he’s a complete ass about it and makes it everyone’s problem. He’s constantly trying to leave and refuses a lot of the medicines and stuff because “he doesn’t need that pussy shit” but he does. And they probably have to wrap it up in a slice of ham like he’s a damn dog. He hates being sick though, like he’ll literally straight up walk out and Darry has to carry his ass back clawing and screaming. He’s silly. shut he has a very strong immune system. Either that or he tries to drink it off but he can’t hold it down and he gets mad.
Two Bit
Two gets really delusional. It’s like he’s high. He’s like his normal self just a lot slower Like he starts having hallucinations and stuff. It’s mildly concerning because one second he’s just staring off into space and the next he’s yelling about the Ketchup Man or something. He doesn’t mind being taken care of though. He probably tries to live off beer and cake but he throws it all up. He doesn’t really have curtesy though and will like…cough on people lmao
Steve
Steve is hard 😭 I think he’s kind of like Dally how he hates being taken care of but the only one who can get through to him is Soda and Soda will drive his ass home from the gas station to just lay down and relax. Steve gets genuinely mad that he’s sick lmao-like he’s so mean to Pony too like Pony will be coming home from school and he’ll just look at Steve and Steve’s like “what’re you lookin’ at” with a puffy nose and watery eyes. He gets lowkey mean but never to Soda (or Darry because Darry will kill him) but he’s SO mean to Pony (well Pony’s probably mean back lmao) but in the end he just wants to be sleeping. He sleeps a LOT. Like seventeen hours a day lmao
I hope these are good!! Had to kinda rush things a bit towards the end, sorry 😭

Do you have any cannons about the characters if they got the flu? I feel like Betty would be a terrible patient not wanting to be taken care of since she’s used to caring for people, same with Darry 😂 But soda and two bit would loveeee the attention
The last time I got the flu was in high school and lemme tell yall I was miserable
Darry
He tries to power through when he starts to feel sick but he gets so over exhausted by like 3 pm he’s forced to lay down and sleep
He sorta isolates himself, not because he wants to be left alone, but because he doesn’t want the gang to see him like that (he’s being stupid)
He does however opt to mostly isolate himself to his room partially because all he has the energy to do is lay in bed, but also he’s not wanting the whole house to get sick
He is very stubborn about letting Betty help, but he very much wants her attention because I think all three Curtis brothers really crave like attention and physical touch when they’re sick
Soda
He will feel like shit and still be yapping
He’s definitely one who’s constantly asking people for something. Like one second he asks for food, five minutes later he wants a cold wash cloth, two minutes after that he wants arm rubs like he’s just a bit needy
He hates being sick because he wants to cuddle people and he knows he shouldn’t be he feels even worse when he’s just laid up in bed alone
Darry sorta resigns himself to letting soda be set up on the couch when he’s sick during the day because Soda is so miserable if he stays in bed. Darry just prays that everyone else’s immune systems hold on
Ponyboy
Sorta canon but when bro gets truly sick he goes down bad
He scares Darry and Soda because he gets delirious very easily when he runs a fever and sometimes he just says wild stuff and it takes them a minute to realize
He very much wants cuddles and someone to play with his hair because that’s what their mom did for them when they were sick (tbh all three of them want this when they’re sick)
Insists that medicine just makes him feel worse and doesn’t want it so Darry usually has to really cajole him into taking stuff
Two Bit
Dramatic AF
He’s definitely gonna remind everyone he’s sick every other sentence
He also will like talk about how he’s dying and he can see the light etc and really put on the dramatics because he���s trying to distract himself
I think his mom doted on him when he doesn’t feel well, but if hen doesn’t wanna be alone during the day when she’s working he will usually get all bundled up on the Curtis couch and watch cartoons
Steve
Ponyboy look out Steve’s patience is gone
Honestly I feel like Steve genuinely just wants to sleep it off. Like he’ll wake up for an hour and eat something and then just force himself to sleep again
He HATES just sitting in bed or on a couch awake so he just defaults to sleeping
He usually is one that rides out the flu in a room because he doesn’t like it when the guys get too noisy it makes him cranky
Johnny
Johnny doesn’t get quite as bad as Ponyboy but when he’s sick he looks SICK
He also shivers so bad when he’s running a fever Darry usually has to get like multiple blankets around him to try and help
Unlike Ponyboy he’s begging for cold medicine because genuinely feels better right after each dose and he hates it when it wears off
He will get snippy if the gang gets too loud because it makes his head hurt but he likes being around people on the couch when he’s sick because he hates being alone
Dally
He will insist the entire time he is not sick
I think knowing him, having the attention of people trying to look after him feels worse. He wants to be left alone. Don’t rub his back if he’s puking, and don’t try to touch him when he’s sick.
He definitely holes up in bed and probably tries to sleep it off kinda like Steve does. But Steve will allow the guys to check on him and offer him food. Dally wants as little human contact as possible
Betty
Oh girl hates being sick she’s someone who just cries when she can’t get comfortable so she gets pretty miserable when she’s running a fever
She’s an isolate to bed kinda person, she doesn’t really want to talk and interact with people because her patience is at its worst and she’s just exhausted
She likes having someone near her, BUT she doesn’t really like too much physical contact. It was a learning curve for Darry because his default is just all the physical comfort things and constant physical contact like cuddling, playing with hair, rubbing arm or back because that’s what he and his brothers want.
She knows he’s trying to help but there’s times when she gets overstimulated by too much touch when she’s sick and when that happens in the nicest way she can (but she’s really irritable and tired) asks him to stop because she’s just so overstimulated (he was very confused the first time)
This was very long and just rambling after my 12 hour shift I hope yall enjoy 😂

University, dropping courses and writing
University is keeping me very busy, but I’m gonna try to write and post something this week. It’s hard to stay on top of everything, but I’m trying. Writing stuff keeps me sane, and I wish I had more time for it, but I can’t really just abandon my uni work either, and it has to get done in time. I’m sleeping like 55% of my day, sometimes more but very rarely less. Idk if it’s my depression coming back, if it’s autistic burnout again or what the fuck, but I don’t like it. I have so much to do and no energy for anything. “This too shall pass but holy fuck”, as a wise person once said.
I’m drowning in school assignments. I’m going to have to drop two courses I was supposed to do this fall, because I just can’t manage the amount of work. I was originally going to do 37 credits worth of studies this fall, (one uni credit is about 27 hours of work in Finland) but I’m gonna have to drop it to 30 credits. I’m almost done with one of the bigger courses I have for this fall, but I still have two pages to write for the assignment too. It’s a ton of work, since I have to read and research so much for it. I already have 8 pages of it done, but the minimum requirement is 10 pages, so I’ve still got some work to do. I’m just hoping I don’t lose my benefits, since I’m required to do a certain amount of uni credits to keep getting my money.
I still need to talk with the guidance counselor, my tutor teacher and my psychiatric nurse about how I’m going to be lightening my workload at school, but I think it’s for the best. If I don’t drop some of my courses, I’m gonna end up on sick leave or something. I’m just gonna have to do those courses later. They’re independent courses, at least mostly, so it’s not really tied to any specific time. I really hope my teacher and the guidance counselor support me in my decision. I know the psych. nurse is gonna support me, since her job is not to get me to graduate as quickly as possible, unlike the university staff.
I feel like crap for not writing tbh. It’s not even really about the fact that I’m not posting anything, I just haven’t even had the time to write, which sucks ass. I’m gonna try to write once I finish the assignments that have deadlines next week. I think there’s three or four things that have the deadline next week, the earliest one is on Monday, but I want to get them done before that. I want to write and play Minecraft and do the things I enjoy, but I have a hard time enjoying them when the school deadlines are breathing down my neck.
Additionally, I think my tooth is chipped or something. It doesn’t hurt or anything, doesn’t even feel weird, but I can feel a sort of sharp edge on it. So that’s gonna be fun to take care of. I checked the university health services, and they’re apparently super busy and I don’t know if I’m even gonna get an appointment for this year. They luckily have a form you can use to get an appointment, so I might not have to call anyone. Their website says some of the forms have been taken offline though, because they are so busy atm. I’m incredibly bad at taking care of my teeth for multiple reasons, and think it’s finally gonna bite me in the ass.

🔥16, 24, 25 for the violence ask game
16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)
i mean the entire “dany will be the uncontested queen of westeros” boring bland been done a hundred times before ntm it’s not ~breaking the wheel~ she would essentially just be aegon the unlikely if he had dragons and we know that despite egg being a good goose at heart he wasn’t a particularly effective king! dany coming into her crown while everyone applauds does not engage with a single theme in this series. dany FAILING to get the crown? now that’s compelling!!!
for a slightly less “you talk that one to death” take, and probably a more cancelable one but i don’t think there has been any child on child bullying happening in this series. luke & jace think aemond is In On The Joke they have no idea that they’re hurting his feelings that much (which imo is clear when jace & aemond have that little missed moment at laena’s funeral! now that he knows aemond is bothered by the teasing bc jace, a bastard, is laughing at aemond, a true born targaryen, jace feels bad about it and aemond sees he feels bad about it and almost reaches for him!) and to me, that’s not bullying that’s children just not understanding boundaries yet. similarly, i don’t think sansa bullies arya; i think arya gives as good as she gets, and i also don’t think sansa is saying anything with malice. she makes those snide remarks about arya bc septa mordane does, and because sansa wants arya to be a “proper lady” so they can do proper lady stuff together. she’s very explicitly put out by arya running off with micah because she wanted to hang out!! arya and sansa both feel isolated at winterfell in their own ways bc they’re kids and a lot of kids feel like they don’t fit in - look at jon & theon too!
“what about aegon” what aegon does to aemond (and what aemond eventually does to aegon) is not “bullying” it’s way worse than that! bullying is like…when children see an “outsider” and isolate them with physical or verbal manipulation. what’s going on with those two is like out and out abusive family dynamics that’s not the same. “what about the driftmark brawl” i don’t know how to tell you that when an argument between children escalates to actual physical harm, it has left the realm of bullying and gone into ���a fucking problem” 😭
24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse
objectively the most rancid is whenever anyone makes a single comparison involving arya & lyanna that isn’t comparing them to each other. sorry but “my favorite teenager is hotter than your favorite teenager” and “comparing these two practical toddlers to their parents is misogyny bc *fart noises*” is genuinely insane.
and for another less obvious take, i think there’s this weird discourse that pops up around kingsguard characters where people will just fully buy into the concepts of like, chivalry and courtly love being the ideal and say shit like “aemon is the best knight ever bc he died trying to save his evil brother” buddy if my lover OR brother died saving trump or even like, pritzker (who i genuinely like as a governor!) i would carve “died a loser” on their gravestone. why is it so virtuous to die for a bad man?? for a politician???? aegon was raping naerys practically NIGHTLY, let that bitch die!!!!!!! or the semi recent discourse about how arthur gerold and oswell were ~only protecting jon and lyanna~ or people unironically being like “jaime is a bad person for killing aerys” like how do you read affc and come away with this take.
25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
“bran/rhaenyra are boring” first of all if you got into the high fantasy series and are upset when characters are invested in the fantasy elements of their world, idk what to say but you played yourself. second of all mfers will say they only like the political story line but when rhaenyra talks about her birthright or bran uses magic to jack the throne suddenly it’s “we’ve already done this story before it’s boring”

Custom Toonami Block Week 161 Rundown
Spy X Family: This is actually a pretty good pair for one of those split episodes. First half deals with Anya getting some bad news that the next semester’s classes will divided up by performance and Anya’s basically at the bottom while Becky’s in the middle and Damian’s at the top so not only would she lose a friend but it’d put the mission at risk if she got separated from Damian and the weird part is it seems like even if she gets her grades up she’ll still be separated from one of them so it’s a good paradox. Still we kinda get sidetracked by a fight over a macaron that’s supposed to make whoever eats it smarter, The gloomy Oblongs-looking kid from the other episode gets it and they split it amongst them with the one not getting any decided by a game of Old Maid, shenanigans ensue. Anya cheats to win but everyone calls her on it and then while trying to cheat less she almost loses and only wins because Damian moe radar starts going off again but of course even with the magic macaron she isn’t any smarter, though Loid notes she seems to know what she’s talking about with foreign languages despite her spelling being atrocious. Second half Franky namedrops a super secret spy group that definitely won’t be important later and then gets ditched by Loid when he wants to use his gadgets to look for a stray cat for the girl he’s flirting with. This is where he trips across Yor and she gets involved. Yor and Franky are actually a surprisingly good comedic pair and I really like this bit despite it being simple and silly. Yor ends up getting humped by cats until she’s able to rip open Franky’s varia suit to scare the cat back into line but turns out the girl’s already married, oh well.
Inuyasha: It’s another ‘Miroku was shitty in the past’ episode, this time actually acknowledging that Miroku and Sango are engaged at this point in the story. Turns out two years ago Miroku visited this girl who was very sick and jipped her parents out of some expensive medicine and promised to marry her daughter to keep her going which puts him in an awkward situation now that he’s back and a demon wants to marry her in exchange for helping with said medicine so the dad’s like ‘hey fuck my daughter and she won’t be a virgin anymore for the demon to marry’ and god this plot is messed up. To her credit, Sango is trying not to hold something Miroku did in the past over his head too much and acknowledges the complexity of the issue but you can’t really blame her for it bothering her unlike all the Kikyo stuff in the past couple episodes with Kagome. This also gets worse when the girl says Miroku already fucked her in the past which… eww she was probably not of age yet and was also bedridden that’s just kinda not a good look. The demon is a giant catfish who is kind of a creep but honestly relatively understanding about the whole thing despite being upset, also helps that he’s not very strong and one good smack from Inuyasha turns his rampage into a pity party. It’s kinda funny when Kagome’s watching the telenovella thing going on with Miroku and Sango while Inuyasha’s fighting a giant catfish and Shippo points out they may have misdirected the plot a bit. The catfish runs off with the girl and Sango runs off in general and Miroku gets to be possessive when the catfish grabs up Sango too and sucks up THE WHOLE FUCKING LAKE in his Wind Tunnel which is probably bad for this girl’s family as it seemed to be their best water source but whatever. Sango gets to have Miroku do a few laps chasing her around the lake and the girl admits she never fucked Miroku and Miroku’s just like ‘yeah I thought my fiancée would trust me enough to know better but then again I was a creep’ so it’s kinda both their faults which doesn’t really resolve anything but it’s fine I suppose.
Yu Yu Hakusho: The Demon World Tournament and we get the real dual reasons why the Dark Tournament fighters were brought back: they’re basically jobbers for the new guys, with Jin, Suzuki (off-screen) and Touya all losing their fights to some of Raizen’s old friends so they can do the JJK ‘stand proud, you’re strong’ to characters we’ve been following a lot longer. This is kind of infuriating in the same way bringing back the Edo Tensei Zombies in Naruto or the Arrancar/Fullbrings for Bleach was, it’s the end of the series and you bring back some old characters for nostalgia but don’t have the narrative room to actually do anything with them so you basically shelve them and it kinda sucks. Though to the story’s credit, Kurama and Mukuro do pick up on the alternative motive for the tournament being making friends of people who can respect each others’ strength just like Yusuke did to all these guys during the Dark Tournament, sort of a ‘fight in the right way’ type deal that builds up respect instead of resentment. I am still kinda frustrated that we don’t get good resolutions for some of these guys but I do appreciate that Yusuke’s final master plan is ‘everyone fight until we’re all friends’ it’s like weaponizing Shonen Protagonist powers on a global scale.
Jujutsu Kaisen: It’s the end of the Gojo flashback arc and… god this one kinda hurts too, like not a sharp possibility-shattering pain like Riko’s death but the dull ache of something that happened long ago but still hurts. It’s been a year since Riko died and since Gojo’s fuckshow strong now he’s doing more solo missions which means Geto’s also doing more solo missions which means Geto gets time to brood and mull over his future supervillain tendencies. He’s basically already struggling and then gets confronted by Todo’s future teacher with the idea of how to stop Cursed Spirits which is presented with a lot more honesty and relatability than it was in the movie with the ‘fuck everyone without superpowers’ cult. Essentially normal people are like cups with pinholes in them, they sweat and leak and that sweaty leakage becomes a flood of Cursed Spirits, but Jujutsu Sorcerers are like tumblers, everything’s sealed inside and the fluid maintains the required temperature. Now admittedly Todo’s Sensei was obviously not trying to come out and say kill all normies but the idea of harassing the entire world until everyone either gets superpowers or dies is a lot more substantial when you realize Cursed Spirits only exist because the normies literally can’t hold their water and then the dudes that can hold their water have to go out and fight and die for them and the leaky cups don’t even know they’re leaky and just keep doing it. This all comes to a head when on top of this Darth Plagueis-esque conversation and designated too good for this world flashback guy gets killed and Geto is sent off to a Higurashi-style superstitious village that locked the two teenage girls from the movie up for doing weird shit when Cursed Spirits created by the normies were the ones that actually were running amuck. So yeah, Geto’s done, he’s just like ‘fuck it, burn everything’ mode. He and Gojo have a goodbye scene that basically matches what happened in the movie and it’s like Episode III where Gojo just can’t kill his best friend despite Geto admitting if he does he’ll prevent all the deaths of the people he’s about to murder. Geto starts his weird cult with the remains of the HappyHappyists and Gojo takes up Megumi in a fractured effort to get SOMETHING good to come of that whole experience and Gojo wakes up to see his three knuckleheads fucking around and I’m sure none of them will die in the near future and everything will be fine.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off: The whole episode is set up like a found footage documentary which is kinda cool but far from the neatest media blending this series has done so far. But yeah, Ramona’s still on the set of the movie, once again trying to confront a second Ex that is now playing Scott in the movie about his Vegan Portal showing up in the kidnapping video. However when Todd and Envy can’t stop making out, Wallace decides to fix that… by making out with Todd instead and causing him to have some bisexual panic and admittedly their little relationship is cute though Todd is either a terrible person or I’m massively disillusions on how flighty the flings of twenty-somethings are. Envy’s understandably pretty pissed that Wallace turned her Vegan boyfriend gay and they fight but because they’re too rich/arrogant/catty to actually fight they fight like Batman villains in Arkham Asylum and have their henchmen fight instead. Eventually things cool down and Ramona gets confirmation that another Vegan must’ve snatched Scott because the Vegan Signatures don’t match Todd’s powers. Also Matt comes down in his Kaibacorp copter and cancels the movie because it was ridiculously unproductive and making him out to be the midboss he is. He and Ramona talk and he gives her the dirt on Gideon’s new living arrangement and she has her new target.
Ranking of Kings: So these two sets of filler vignettes actually happen after the last episode so we have some kind of illusion of progression at least. The first involves Bojji as king doing his normal shit and helping out some kids by literally giving them the shirt off his back which is nice and all but you’d think as king he could be like ‘go get this boy some clothes’ instead of pulling the same tricks he did at the beginning of the series. Anyway they save the kids’ bird but through the journey Bojji hammers home how much he misses Kage who left for… some reason, idk, despite Bojji still needing help to be a good king and Kage saying he’d be with him always I guess we needed a reason for conflict even though I have no idea why if the next season’s just going to be retreading past arcs, at least this gives the impression that Bojji was king for more than like, a week. The second but is the same kind of story but with Daida re-instated as king and trying to be a better person and showing off his growth around town. He tells Miranjo to keep a low profile since some peeps are understandably still mad about her almost murdering the whole kingdom but she sneaks out to teach children how to read and write and so Daida decides to demolish the old barracks and make a school instead which is a good idea in principle as long as they have no wars forever and this whole incident with the Underworld Fugitives doesn’t prove that their army is woefully inept and leave all the work to like seven guys.
Vinland Saga: It’s a Canute episode and damn has he been up to some shit, whilte Thorfinn’s been farming and idly contemplating death, just as Canute predicted the former King of England is like ‘oop Sweyn’s dead, time to come back’ so Canute’s in the same war for England that his father was, though his troops are not terribly fond of his ‘no murder and pillaging’ policies and Thorkell’s having a hard time adapting to them not fighting until everyone else is a bloody paste on the ground too. The Lord of Mercia sent for a ceasefire and Canute comes out himself just to send a message, this guy tries to buy him half with a fuckton of gold to get him to pull out of his area and Canute’s just like: ‘Bro, I’ve killed people for this, you’ve killed people for this, if you think any amount of money is going to justify the lives of everyone on both sides who have died for this you can go fuck yourself. Since you’ve already betrayed your supposed king by trying to bribe me for special treatment, let’s do that but in a way that matters, okay? Come help me assassinate him and I won’t drive your region into the fucking dirt.’ And the lord does seem to reject this offer at first until Canute shows him just how many camps he has and how absolutely fucked there, like the only reason the war isn’t already over is because Canute doesn’t want to just go in and murder everyone. So he presumably scares the shit out enough of the King’s retainers to get him assassinated and then his son takes over and HE’S assassinated so they’re like ‘yeah sure let’s just give it to the Danish guy before out guys keep mysteriously dying’. And just like that, with a strategic show of force Canute is crowned King of England in a third of the time it took Sweyn and with far, far less bloodshed. Like I wouldn’t say Canute’s hands are clean or anything but he seems to be doing a decent job of keeping the warmongering to a minimum for the same results.

vent post bc the world is shit and my life is seriously going downhill so quickly
take care everybody <3
CW: political talk, feelings of hopelessness, a cheating partner, breakup, moving, tiktok shit, chronic pain
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7eae06a6bbc2782fbcbdef3cb794bed8/9571cb62eae7e06e-a8/s400x600/8634c21d2f93c71fa4efa7d558e405ddfd0c9089.jpg)
trump is seriously gonna be president. again.
i had been hoping, praying to whatever god would actually listen, that something would happen and change this. give the US a little more time. i knew it was unrealistic, unlikely, but i still hoped for it. and now i don’t know what to do, because how the fuck are any of us gonna survive this?
how am i supposed to go outside knowing a convicted felon is the one pulling the strings to strip away my rights? how can i feel safe outside, or inside, when being my truest self could lead to something as extreme as the end of my own life?
i’m 17, and scared shitless to be existing right now. I turn 18 in april and i just feel si hopeless man.
and then the tiktok ban. it was stupid to try and ban it in the first place, but when that one guy tried to get them to at least add an extension i held out hope that maybe we could get a little more time. but then it went through, and it hit me that so much of my information came from there. it’s so hard to keep up with everything going on and i followed so many tiktokers that explained things in digestible ways so i could process it and find out what to do. not to say i didnt do my own research, but seeing tiktokers make five minute videos with documents and legal things to prove their point- just, so much shit that i learned would be lost. And then it gets unbanned, and it feels like it was just a scare tactic to lure us into a false sense of security. And the fact people are thanking trump. HE SUGGESTED BANNING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! He knows what he’s doign and he makes me sick.
and it’s so easy to tell that tiktok has changed. i saw someone use the analogy: “it feels like someone came into your room and took or changed something, but you have no idea what it was.” and just..it applies, but we also kinda know what changed. tiktok was probably bought out by meta. the ads, the algorithm suppressing important information, tiktok giving notifications for people to “check their sources” or something when they try to share a video talking badly about the government or other stuff— what happened to freedom of speech, yk?
and even all of that stuff aside, my own life feels like a mess.
my counselor messed up with my transcript and apparently when i switched midway through a year to online and it took me out of French, they gave me 2.5 credits instead of the full five. But then the counselor was like “well actually, it doesn’t cpunt at all bc we don’t do half credits so we’re lowering you back down to 190 credits.” I get why, but also HUHH???
i did the class! why would you lower the credits and fuck me over so now im doing classes i wasnt prepared for! and its worse bc my counselor told me last year in 11th (or the first semester of 12th i don’t remember) that my transcript was fine! that i was AHEAD! on track to graduate with everything i needed. and now in my second semester, they’re piling two more classes onto what i had been prepared to deal with. yes, four classes is the aaverage that a student will take- but that’s not the schedule i had prepared myself for. i shoulve only had modern lit and psychology B, but now i have to take photography A & B. I know it’s not hard and it could be worse but it’s so fucking frustrating.
i’m in a shit ton of pain, and everyday i just feel more hopeless. i got two weeks off of outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy, and talk therapy (aka POT- my mom came up with that, i love her)— and yes, i slacked bc of the holidays. but i was also out socializing with family and my (ex)boyfriend! it was different, but i still did shit! i went to the aquarium, and then walked around on fucking beach right afterwards, and then went on the swings by the parking lot for the beach and aquarium! i know that’s just one example, but i’m trying so fucking hard man and it’s hard to try and keep telling myself that “this takes time, they said there’s no timeline but that movement should eventually help decrease the pain” - all it’s done and continued to do is make my pain worse, making it so hard to function and want to do anything. but i still push myself! i still do it! and now i’m here in bed after doing so much today and feeling so utterly hopeless about getting better. it’s been five fucking years of dealing with pain this bad, with the pain only getting worse. i want to feel better, i want to not hurt. i’ve tried so many medications, natural remedies, acupuncture, massages, oils, CBD, ketamine (with doctors permission ofc), and nothing has helped. nothing. it’s so hard to even get out of bed everyday knowing that everything is going to be ten times worse by the end of the day. i try so hard to think positively, to keep a healthy mindset, to tell myself it WILL get better. but it’s so hard to keep that up when everything in my body is just going against that. i want to give up so badly, i want to just stop existing for a bit. to stop hurting. but i have my family, my cats, my snake (i call them my child), my couple close friends. i want to keep trying for them, but it gets so hard. hard in ways i can’t explain. wveb typing right now is so painful, but i need to get all this off my chest.
oh, and then to add to the mix- my boyfriend cheated on me! i’ve dealt with shit in the past, harassment online and (partially) in erson- i’ve explained this to him. he knows that. he said it was okay and he’d take things at my pace. i tried so hard to not let my psst experiences get in the way of our relationship. to not be that person who gets jealous at every little thing. my boyfriend (who is bisexual) had always played around with his friends in a “bromance” kinda way even before we started dating. he always checked with me though, said if i was uncomfortable that he’d stop acting like that or making those jokes. i told him it was okay, that i trusted his judgement on when something went too far. a year and change of dating later, he tells me he had a sleepover with his friends. they were texting people online (men specifically) and “pretending” to be gay— even though my boyfriend is bisexual, but he was just goofing with his friends. i don’t exactly approve of that or think it’s right to fish like that online, but it happened and i didnt know abt it until after. but he texted me and said (paraphrasing from memory)“hey, yk how we’ve talked abt getting sugar daddies before? well i met this guy with my friends who says he’d pay money to talk and hang around us- he lives in london (i think) and he’s actually a bit younger than me. i’m just messing around with my friends but i find this guy actually interesting. would it be okay if i kept chatting with him as a friend? ofc u can say no, and if ur uncomfortable then i’ll stop right away.” and i said “no, i trust ur judgement- ik u know when something has crossed a line. just be careful bc this guy could (obviously) be some rlly old creepo or whatever” fastforward a few days and i havenrly heard from my boyfriend. happens sometimes, he gets busy with school and i get busy. we always send each other reels and text on and off, but he’s never seemed to mind it. we text when we can, yk? i do online school and he does in person. finding time can be challenging. but he texts me and says “hey, i need to talk to u abt something. can we hang out soon?” — not an uncommon occurrence. usually when he says something like that he needs to talk abt something that happened at school or with his friends or with his family just to get it off his chest. i always listen and support however i can, i try my best- i can’t solve every problem but i’ve always, always offered to listen. i told him “okay, we’ll hangout sunday at my place”
on sunday, the hangout was normal. we chilled at first. my parents were upstairs in bed, my sister was at work (i think), and my brother was gaming upstairs on the PC. so, as it usually ended up, it was me and my boyfriend on the couch in the living room cuddling. we just watched reels for a while yntil i turned off my phone and said “okay, what did u wanna talk abt?”
me and him have never really argued badly. i like to think we did a decent job at communicating with each other. not perfect, but decent. we have disagreements, discussions, but never arguments. me and him dated back in 7th grade, both very immature and not ready for a relationship— things happened and then he rekindled our friendship during quarantine and once i had ended things with my boyfriend at the time and he eventually ended things with his girlfriend at the time (who cheated on him, i believe? i cang remember)— we ended up dating. it just happened, and i was so happy.
so tell me why my boyfriend sits on my living room couch, hiding his face in my lap and saying that he’s confused about his feelings with the guy he’d been chatting with. he says that he’d been talking with him since the sleepover, that he might like him but wasn’t sure. that some of it felt fake and some of it felt real.
me nor my boyfriend have been in a same-sex relationship before, despite being interested in people of any gender identity— never seemed to be a problem, we talked abt pretty ppl abd characters and everything was fine.
i was calm, i listened and when he was finished i said “okay. i’m not sure how to feel about this. would it be okay if i read the messages between you guys?” he said okay and gave me his phone. i scrolled to the top of his messages with this guy, since the sleepover he had. i read all the way to their most recent text, two days before my boyfriend went to my house to see me. i was really..hurt. i was crying, but i was quiet. i read the messages between them. so much of it reminded me of how he was when he messaged with me, of how he was when he’d tiptoe around his feelings when we were first crushing on each other. he sent this guy a picture of himself in a cute shirt he liked, a crop— with the intention of it being something for the other guy to look at in a romantic manner. nothing explicit, as far as i recall, but still suggestive. i asked him what he wanted to do. i asked if he wanted time to figure himself our. if he needed space. i asked if he really liked this guy. i told him that if he did, that we should end things; because i love him, and i want him to be happy. and if that’s not with me, then that’s okay. i just needed him to be honest. even if it hurt. he said he wasn’t sure. i wasn’t angry, i told him as much, i was hurt and disappointed. i wasn’t sure what to do. i asked if he wanted to go home. he said “what do you want” i told him “im asking u because i don’t really mind either way. i’m personally partial to u staying bc even though this is rlly shitty, i missed you. i want to be around you.” he stayed until my sister came home and drove him home. the whole time i acted like notbing was wrong, made jokes about it, cuddled him. i got into the front seat as i always did after dropping him off (bc i sit in the backseat with him to be close to him). i sat down for a bit. my sister asked if i was okay and i couldn’t even rlly respond. she asked again and i said no. i started crying. we had planned to pick up boba for dessert. she parked in the parking lot of the little corner area where there’s shops and then a Tea&Me. i told her everything. she thought at first i meant he was talking to someone at school, said she wasn’t justifying it but me and him didn’t talk much— didn’t see each other much. i said “but this guy lives in london! he met him online!” and she was just like “….i know it’s bad timing and ur upset, but my sister urges make me want to go punch him- ik all of his addresses.” after talking with her it helped, a little. was the first time where i was like “..man, maybe this IS cheating.” the bext day was a blur. i did nothing but sit on my phone, shut everything out. The next day I told my parents individually on separate car drives to get some stuff. Both supportive of me, they’re truly amazing and im blessed to have such understanding parents. but after speaking with both of them, each time it finally really hit me that “wow. this man i put so much trust in, so much faith and love, cheated on me. he CHOSE to do that. chose to text him every day until two days before he would see me. Texted him that night, nothing the next day, and then nothing the day he saw me. I texted him a paragraph after talking with my parents and sister that i needed time to think and make a decision. that i was hurt and that it’s finally hit me that he rlly cheated. i talked to my sister 7 days after i saw him in person. talked a lot again when she asked if anything happened. i asked what she would do if she were in my shoes, and she made some good points. i talked to my therapist 8 days after i saw him in person. Told her about what happened, all my taljs with my family and the talk i had with my sister the day before. She advised me the best she couod. throughout these eight days, he hadn’t texted me at all. i know i said i needed space, but he didn’t even check in. i texted him when the fires started in LA, said i hoped ge was okay. no response. texted him again maybe two days after? no response again. my sister said “why dont you text his mom” so i did, bc i was concerned abt him and his family. (reached word limit)

University, dropping courses, and writing
University is keeping me very busy, but I’m gonna try to write and post something this week. It’s hard to stay on top of everything, but I’m trying. Writing stuff keeps me sane, and I wish I had more time for it, but I can’t really just abandon my uni work either, and it has to get done in time. I’m sleeping like 55% of my day, sometimes more but very rarely less. Idk if it’s my depression coming back, if it’s autistic burnout again or what the fuck, but I don’t like it. I have so much to do and no energy for anything. “This too shall pass but holy fuck”, as a wise person once said.
I’m drowning in school assignments. I’m going to have to drop two courses I was supposed to do this fall, because I just can’t manage the amount of work. I was originally going to do 37 credits worth of studies this fall, (one uni credit is about 27 hours of work in Finland) but I’m gonna have to drop it to 30 credits. I’m almost done with one of the bigger courses I have for this fall, but I still have two pages to write for the assignment too. It’s a ton of work, since I have to read and research so much for it. I already have 8 pages of it done, but the minimum requirement is 10 pages, so I’ve still got some work to do. I’m just hoping I don’t lose my benefits, since I’m required to do a certain amount of uni credits to keep getting my money.
I still need to talk with the guidance counselor, my tutor teacher and my psychiatric nurse about how I’m going to be lightening my workload at school, but I think it’s for the best. If I don’t drop some of my courses, I’m gonna end up on sick leave or something. I’m just gonna have to do those courses later. They’re independent courses, at least mostly, so it’s not really tied to any specific time. I really hope my teacher and the guidance counselor support me in my decision. I know the psych. nurse is gonna support me, since her job is not to get me to graduate as quickly as possible, unlike the university staff.
I feel like crap for not writing tbh. It’s not even really about the fact that I’m not posting anything, I just haven’t even had the time to write, which sucks ass. I’m gonna try to write once I finish the assignments that have deadlines next week. I think there’s three or four things that have the deadline next week, the earliest one is on Monday, but I want to get them done before that. I want to write and play Minecraft and do the things I enjoy, but I have a hard time enjoying them when the school deadlines are breathing down my neck.
Additionally, I think my tooth is chipped or something. It doesn’t hurt or anything, doesn’t even feel weird, but I can feel a sort of sharp edge on it. So that’s gonna be fun to take care of. I checked the university health services, and they’re apparently super busy and I don’t know if I’m even gonna get an appointment for this year. They luckily have a form you can use to get an appointment, so I might not have to call anyone. Their website says some of the forms have been taken offline though, because they are so busy atm. I’m incredibly bad at taking care of my teeth for multiple reasons, and think it’s finally gonna bite me in the ass.

08/??/23’s delivery 🏹✉️ twisted wonderland
when they textヽ( ・∀・)ノ_θ彡☆Σ(ノ `Д´)ノ,ヽ( ・∀・)ノ_θ彡☆Σ(ノ `Д´)ノ ;; summary. ‘when you’re not with them in the real world, how do they talk to you online?’
characters. ignihyde , diasomnia : idia shroud , ortho shroud , malleus draconia , silver , sebek zigvolt , lilia vanrouge ( separate ) ;; platonic . 🖇️ tags. reader is gender neutral ( you/your ), reader may or may not be yuu ( up to the reader ), idk what social media app they’re using, lighthearted character slander, kinda long, crack fluff
📡 _a/n. finally updating after * checks watch * two or so weeks!! haven’t done a romantic in a while..should probably change that.
idia
— now, i decided to base these thoughts on their respective valentine’s day cards..and oh boy is idia a LOSER!! respectfully. maybe. this man is going full discordian mode when he texts you and honestly when he texts in general.
— you know that one friend who sends one text message and all of a sudden you have to spend an hour and a half trying to decipher their message because it has three grammatical errors, twenty six misspells and eight random letters mixed in there? even though it was a five word message?
— that’s him. ESPECIALLY when he’s texting you while he’s gaming, unless he chooses to voice call ( a blessing sent from heaven if you don’t want to struggle when communicating with him ).
— he’s just a fast typer, he defends himself while you wipe a single tear from your eye trying to figure out how “btw can you bring me some sweets?” turns into “n btwcan u like brjgn me sm swts n. stuff thxxx” ( but worse, because..it’s idia and he’s probably gaming if he’s asking you this question. also i purposefully avoided looking at my screen for that ).
ortho
— now i imagine his texts are significantly more normal and relaxed..unlike his BROTHER!! his texts to you are far more polite and he uses big words often, which is such bot behavior tbh. i know he struggles with captchas.
— but overall, he is indeed a relatively normal typer, a sweetheart as usual. i also imagine that he talks in more simplistic sentences as well, and doesn’t really do run-on, if that makes sense. it makes his text messages a little longer if he’s typing paragraph style, but otherwise he’s doing just fine getting the message across.
— now he is naturally curious and relatively attentive too, so he’s probably going to ask you about your own texting style. actually, he might try to implement your texting style into his, if he’s interested enough. it’ll probably only last for a week or so though, before he’s back to his usual kindergarten homework texting style.
malleus
— social media? nah..he’s “texting” you through carrier pigeon. be sure to keep your window open, because whenever he feels like it, he’s going to send you a scroll type of letter that details whatever message he’s trying to convey at the time, and it’s a throwback. a throwback to like..the medieval era.
— whenever he does send these letters, his dictionary of words is sophisticated and informative, not a single itty bitty detail left out. it sort of feels like he’s sending the prologue of a book to you, when he does this. i can imagine him writing it all down with a pure black quill pen, too. and i bet that the first letter to the first word of each letter is also in cursive and enlarged like in those fantasy books, for some odd reason.
— and he’ll send the longest message as well, and you might think that he’s describing to you the entire plot of a trilogy where each part is the length of the dictionary, but no, it’s to describe how upset he is that he had to eat an entire cake by himself, or that he’s sick or something. he’s like me when i’m writing an english essay..except he does it with no purpose to it.
— when you do inevitably send him a reply, he gets all excited too. even if he sends a letter that starts with “Dear friend, I write to you to tell you a tale of a most quizzical recent events that has affected me of late, that has stumped me to no end..” and all you reply with is a scroll and a carrier pigeon as well, and he opens it up only to see an enlarged “K.” in the middle with your signature at the bottom. yeah, he’s completely fine with that. makes him happy.
silver
— someone else who is normal with their texts, on the normal scale would probably be ranked by ortho, if not normaler. he’s just your average texter i suppose, other than the fact that every now and then he adds this really long descriptive word that you have to look up in the dictionary to understand, and it’s completely unexpected.
— he’ll send you a message, and it’ll go “also, did you see the others in class today? i found it odd, they were more lackadaisical than usual.” like. for no reason whatsoever. random big word. not too bad though, so points for him. also, i imagine him to type in all lowercase just like me. i don’t know, i just see him doing it.
— on that note of random things i see him doing, and also random things in general, i see him texting you, and then randomly telling you this fun little fact he happens to know about whatever the topic is. “would you like to stop be the equestrian club? a domestic horse can run up to thirty miles per hour, you know.”
sebek
— hard to say if he’s using a phone, or if he’s talking to you via carrier pigeon like malleus..but i’m leaning towards him using a phone. actually, he might do both, and it depends on how mood how you receive the message. but, let’s just talk about how he tends to talks to you on social media for now.
— but still, no matter whether it’s social media or carrier pigeon, he’s a relatively dry person sadly. when he texts you, it’s rather simplistic, though unlike ortho he does tend to do run-ons. i think the only thing saving him from being totally dry is the fact that he actually uses emojis. his favorite emojis..are probably “😡” and “👍”, and you can take a guess when and why he uses them.
— his messages might actually come off as a little mean every now and then, but i doubt he’ll even realize it 99% percent of the time unless you tell him, and he’ll try his best not to text like that again, but it’s hard for him to stray from his usual texting style..introduce him to tone tags, those are probably a life saver for him.
— he does forget to use them every now and then though, so he haphazardly adds them after he sends the message. don’t worry though, he’s learning and figuring things out! slowly but surely, slowly but surely. doing his best.
lilia
— the old man himself! unlike malleus and sebek, he is of course 100% using a phone. though nonetheless, that old age is not subtle at all, even if he is gaming..not like he’s trying to be, the idea of being subtle probably doesn’t even come to him. surprisingly, other than his old man text tone, he’s a relatively normal texter.
— and by relatively normal, i mean normal for when you’re talking to your grandpa who was there for when the telegraph was still a popular use of communication. except..he was there for forms of communication much, much earlier than that.
— he regularly uses somewhat outdated words and then right next to said outdated word is like, the latest social media lingo that was created like a week ago. a very scary combination of i do say so myself. he could be gaming with you and all of a sudden through the chat logs he’ll text you something along the lines of, “Though, i must say..his ass is NOT making it😂😂”. a jumpscare almost every time.

Alright, alright, I know you’re probably sick of hearing about the whole ’guy gets bitten by a radioactive spider’ rigamarole by now, so I’ll just skip that part. Hi, my name is Ryan McCrimmon, and I’m a university student trying to juggle homework and trying to keep my city’s non-law-abiders from harming the innocent.
Spiffing ain’t I? Anyway, in my universe I’m the one and only Spider-Man….well, except if I’m in the presence of any alternate Spider-Men, then it’s Spider-SF. Yes you read that right, SF. as in San Francisco instead of New York City. That’s not the only difference either. Don’t tell the other Spider-People, but I managed to learn the responsibility I have as a hero without losing a family member or a best friend. In fact my best friend Maya is very much aware of my identity (I wasn’t as careful that day, oops) and is basically my Yoda when things get stressful.
Anyway, I’m sure you’re wondering about how my webs work, and honestly I still am too. See, like that one Spider-Man that looks like the dude from Jake and the Fatman, I make webs inside my body, but I’m not sure how they generate. My only guess is that somewhere in my body is a gland or organ or something that turns the food I eat into the material my webs are made out of. Overall, being Spidey isn’t that bad. Sure I have to lie to my peers and my family, but even though it hurts, the knowledge I’m protecting them is enough to get through it.
As for my suits….
oh god you do not want to get me started on that first suit. It was a stupid idea I cooked up while stressed about what I was going to do to pass this art assignment, and then Maya went and made it. Sure I wasn’t going to turn down an idea made by the only at-university friend I’ve ever been able to make and did use it for a while, but let’s be real, black is so not good for hot weather, and I had the luxury of being bitten right as it was starting to turn from spring to summer. Luckily she understood when I told her about that, and she help me design and make an improved version.
I decided to go for a two-tone look this time, something Maya was a little hesitant about, but still allowed. I bet you’re wondering about the orange and black. Yes, they’re the Giants’s colors, but it’s mostly because I wanted to represent my hometown in a subtle way. Bonus, there are little holes in the wrists for the webs to come out of.
Okay, okay, I’ll backtrack. We all know I was bitten, but where was I bitten? Well, I was short on cash, what university students aren't, so I volunteered for this study to make a quick buck or two. Little did I know, the “study” involved injecting spiders with some sort of enhancing serum or whatever that supposedly could be transferred through a spider bite to improve bodily function. Apparently this study was supposedly done to make something for both amputees and to find a way to improve eyesight in people who needed glasses. Well, that part they got right, but I can only guess something within the spider’s DNA mixed with the serum so now not only do I not need glasses anymore I can stick to walls and make webs. Fun times right? Well, I got two grand out of it, mainly because the “scientists” figured out what it did to me and wanted to shut me up, so there’s that.
Now, the big question: How do the media and the law enforcement treat Spider-Man? I skirted around this for a little bit, but actually we’re on pretty good terms. I mean, there’s always those who don’t like something new in the city, but as for the news and police and stuff, we’re pretty tight. Might help that unlike most Spider-men, I try to not harm as much as I can. I know, I know, ‘how is that any different from the mantra of the other spider-people?’ My point is I’m not out there breaking ribs or tossing people around with webs wrapped around them, I mainly just knock 'em out and leave it to the police. Of course, that’s just the small-time thugs. Haven’t met any of my universe’s versions of the big bads yet, but I know when I do I’ll try to be responsible and make the right call.

Introduction
I am an industrial hygienist with biology and environmental science degrees. An industrial hygienist is someone who evaluates workplaces for health hazards. For about a year, I worked for a large chemical manufacturer, then left to work for the next 15 years for two different state-run OSHA-type programs.
While working for the state regulatory agencies, I had opportunities to see myriad types of workplaces, from heavy industrial operations with thousands of employees to mom-and-pop operations. Discovery’s television series How It’s Made was (and still is) a favorite, because it gives all of us a glimpse behind the scenes to see how everyday things come to be.
It’s truly fascinating to see manufacturing processes--almost magical. But as I get older, I feel it’s necessary make the public aware of the dark side of everyday things. We need to know that our desire for stuff comes at a cost, whether it’s detrimental to employee health and safety in the manufacturing process, public health risks from use, or environmental concerns from disposal.
You will find a common theme in many of these posts: plastic = bad. Without a doubt, plastic has made our lives extremely convenient. Its manufacture and use comes at a cost, however. Much like asbestos use in the early part of the 20th century, plastic use is becoming widespread without a true understanding of health impacts to people and the environment.
Image Source
One of the problems with plastic is that it takes tens of thousands of years to break down into its chemical elements. During that time, exposure to the elements causes plastic to break up into smaller and smaller pieces called microplastics.
I’ll spare you the images of wildlife (birds, turtles, whales) that have perished due to ingestion of plastic they found in the environment, but you should know that microplastics have been found from the top of Mt. Everest to the deepest parts of the ocean. They’re found everywhere on the planet now, and we don’t fully know the harm they could cause.
Another problem with most plastics is that they are made from oil. Oil is problematic in so many ways.
In manufacturing processes, the heating of plastic to form it into useful shapes can expose workers to toxic chemicals. These workers are often exposed to these chemicals for 40 hours a week. In my experience, workers exposed to chemicals from heating of plastics try to find other jobs rather quickly, because it literally stinks and often makes them sick, especially when ventilation in their work area is bad or they’re not wearing adequate respiratory protection. For people that are desperate for work, however, they could spend years working in those harmful areas until their bodies stop functioning properly.
Lastly, plastic is not as recyclable as the plastic industry would like us to believe. Plastics #1, 2, and sometimes 5 are the only types commonly recycled. The rest? Garbage. At the moment, we don’t have a good way to get rid of it. Unlike asbestos, we’re currently not treating plastic like a hazardous waste (very well contained to keep it out of the environment), the best method we have of disposal right now is to bury it in landfills--as long as we can be sure that the plastic can not find its way into the environment between the time you throw it in the trash and burial at your landfill, that is. Incineration should not be an option, as burning of plastics can release toxins and huge amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the environment.
As I re-watch the How It’s Made episodes and post my safety and health impressions here, I’ll still mention hazards associated with specific types of plastics, but avoid rehashing the big picture of the plastics problem. I’ll just make reference to this post and hope that you will do any research necessary to understand the problem further.
Disclaimer: I don’t want to get sued, so be aware that the hazards I observe in these episodes are generally present in these industries, but the degree of risk to the employee varies from business to business. Most (but sadly, not all) operations in the developed world take care of their employees and give them the equipment and training they need to do their hazardous jobs safely thanks to safety and health regulations. It’s worth it to be aware of where your goods are coming from, because while products made in other parts of the world are cheaper, employees there are likely being exposed to greater health and safety risks in the manufacturing of those goods.

“Ahoy, my lady! Would you like to set sail on this ocean of flavor with me? I’ll be your captain, my name is robin. What can i get you?” Robin exclaimed, grinning at the familiar-faced girl in front of her.
“I know who you are, robin,” Y/n giggled. She had grown fond of Robin from the few weeks of her working with steve. “Is steve here yet?”
“Yeah, yeah, he’s around back,” Robin clarified, nodding her heads towards the door that led back there. “Thanks!” Y/n chirped and started heading that way, not wanting to distract robin from her real customers.
“You back here, lover boy?” Y/n called out as she closed the door behind her, though it wasn’t long before she could feel steve kissing all around her face.
“What are you doing here? I thought you said you were going out with Camila,” Steve furrowed his eyebrows but kept the smile on his face, cupping hers with both of his hands.
“Called me, said she was sick,” y/n let out a giggle when she felt steve drop more than a few kisses onto her forehead, “so i thought i’d come visit my steve.”
"𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 steve, huh?”
“Yup! My steve.” Y/n grinned, grabbing his hand and leading him towards the little wooden table he was previously sitting at.
“I’m glad you came, actually, because i have a little surprise for you,” steve smirked, pulling out her chair before sitting down.
“A surprise, hm?” Y/n giggled, resting her chin on the palm of her hand.
Steve grinned and pulled out two pieces of paper that y/n couldn’t quite read. She looked closer and saw…oh my god, no way!
“Stevie!” She gasped, sitting up to grab the tickets and examine them, “You got tickets to ‘Tears For Fears’?!”
“They’re your favorite artist, i had to get them for you,” he chuckled.
“Oh my god, stevie, thank you!” Y/n squeled, giving him a tight hug before pulling away to plant a kiss on his lips.
Y/n and steve had only been dating for 2 months, and it was pure bliss. Steve knew that they were still in the ‘honeymoon’ phase, but he didn’t care. He couldn’t care when she was the best thing that ever happened to him.
When they met, he never imagined them getting this far. She was definitely out of his league, in his opinion. She didn’t come from much, growing up poor in East Hawkins, but she was still the most positive person he had ever met. She knew how to light up a room without even trying.
A part of steve didn’t want to date her because of how chaotic his life was. Even apart from alternate dimensions and creepy monsters, he had two snobby parents to worry about, and he didn’t know if he would be able to protect her purity from all of it.
If it wasn’t for Eleven closing the gate last year, he definitely wouldn’t have risked it. (Boy, is he in for a treat!)
But, the last two months have been even better than he imagined, and he didn’t regret the tiniest bit of it.
Steve pulled away from the kiss with wide eyes, “holy, shit,”
He went back in for another one, making y/n laugh but furrow her eyebrows and pull away, “what is it?”
“Your lips,” he paused to peck them, “taste so good.”
Y/n laughed and shook her head, “Ah, my lips, huh?”
Steve nodded and leaned in to kiss her again, putting his hand around her neck softly as his lips synced with hers.
Physical affection had always been a big thing in their relationship, but kissing especially.
Y/n swore steve kissed more than he talked.
She loved it, though, it reminds her that he truly does find her beautiful, and unlike most people, he still invested in her personality as well.
On their one month anniversary, he took her virginity and let her read her favorite book to him moments after, whispering sweet-nothings in her ear.
Saying how much he adores her, how perfect she is, and how much he loves listening to her read romance.
What a guy, am i right?
“Steve, stevie,” y/n breathed, pulling away as steve kept hissing down her cheek onto her neck, “you know you’ve got to get back to work, can’t leave robin like that,”
“Just one more minute,” he mumbled against her neck.
“Stevie.” Y/n spoke sternly, although it was still adorable in steve’s eyes.
He groaned and pulled away from her neck, pouting a little. Although his pout turned into a smile when she ran her fingers through his hair.
“I gotta go, anyways, I promised my mom that I’d watch my sister today.”
Ah, angela. Steve’s self-proclaimed best friend.
“Tell them i said hi, yeah?” He proposed, smiling and kissing her head when she nodded.
“Alright,” she pecked his lips, “bye, baby.”
“Wait, wait, wait,” steve stopped her from walking away by swooping an arm around her waist.
“Yeah?”
“What chapstick flavor are you wearing?” He raised his eyebrows.
“Vanilla cherry bomb.” She tilted her head, “Why do you ask?”
“So that i can stock up on em.”
