#Verbal sparring is how i show affection

[fuck-john-calvin]

(about your thing with relating to shifty)

im more upset that she uses the vessels against LQ while also dismissing them as important viewpoints and perspectives. in my eyes she is just cherrypicking the parts of those lives that she finds meaningful while ignoring how they were real people that had fears and lives.

and yeah a little bit of taking them from their happy endings to be combined into something they never asked for.. she says they are gifts from lq but its not like he ever chose to give them to her.

(i know you said youre okay to debate but im honestly Terrible at it and i just wanted to share my view because i do have my reasons for preferring the princess(es) over shifty)

Ok. Sorry it took me a day to respond. I’ve been putting my thoughts together on this before i write back

a) not gonna argue there. shifty is manipulative and uses the experiences that she's had with us to try to convince, guiltrip, strong-arm, or really use any form of persuasion to get us to leave with her.

HOWEVER. I do not think that she as a whole ignores that they were real people that had fears and lives. Vessels, hearts, eulogies- shifty speaks to us of the identity of each and every princess as she cradles them in her embrace. She is not ignoring 'their' experiences because they are hers as well, because each and every one of those princesses is her, even if they functioned independently for a time. She does ask the Long Quiet to ignore these, but I don't view this as casting aside the aspects of herself less interesting or useful to her, but trying to convince the Long Quiet to look away from these contradictions, and to stay focused on the more compelling cases for escaping together.

So yes. she's a bit of a sophist. but she doesn't ignore the princesses, just ask the long quiet to

b) i mean… i have a lot of thoughts on this. They were always a part of her, they always were her, they just didn’t know it yet. I think all of them were searching for her, they just didn’t know that’s what it was they were searching for. The most aware of this is the spectre- she senses the longing within her, and realizes that she can’t quite explain what it is or why, just that she needs to be somewhere, rather than try to label it as something else, like the other princesses do. At their core, though, all of the princesses know that they need something, and that the slayer is the gateway to it.

Also…happy ending??? I know the game implies that they might have almost gotten this before being taken away, but let’s think about this for a second. There is no way out of that construct. There are only a hundred feet or so of woods and the cabin. What happy ending awaited them? The player and the princess don’t realize it at the time, but they’re not actually in the real world. They can’t reach the real world. They are trapped there until either a reset happens or they starve or kill each other or something along those lines. None of the princesses can actually escape without reuniting with shifty and rejoining the world. They’re just as trapped in the woods as they are in the cabin. If anything, shifty was actually rescuing them.

CrypticGod!Merlin and Worshipper aka fanboy Mordred CRACK AU - Part 3

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Merlin learns that being a god in semi-mortal form is very difficult when having a strong follower like Mordred.

Mordred, like many who pray to their god as some kind of anchor, will often pray something along the lines of ‘Emrys, give me strength and courage’ or ‘Emrys, please be with me through this difficult time’ unconsciously.

Except, unlike the normies, his commitment and belief are EXTREMELY STRONG, so when he prays strong enough, HIS GOD ACTUALLY SHOWS UP:

Arthur, charging him during sparring: Come on, Mordred! You can do better than this!!

Mordred: (anxiously praying) Emrys helps me

Merlin, suddenly appears between Arthur and Mordred, with Arthur about to smash him with the sword: THE FUCK—

Obviously, he is banned from praying during sparring, but occasionally Merlin will still pop up out of nowhere when he is anxious, and the knights eventually have to get used to it:

Arthur: Today, the neighbouring kingdom’s knights will join us for the practice, and there will be some competitions. I hope all of you are ready to protect and uphold the honour of Camelot’s knights. Any defeat is unacc—-

Arthur:

Arthur: any defeat is understandable, for one must lose before learning true victory, so please don’t get too stressed, especially you, Mordred.

Mordred: How do you know I am stressed?

Gwaine, carrying Merlin, who pop up above his head the moment Arthur said ‘defeat’, on his neck : Yeah, I wonder how

As their relationship improves, the power of Mordred’s prayer gets stronger. Not only can Merlin feels his emotions and more in-depth thoughts through the prayer, it also affects Merlin’s power, in both endearing and also straight-up ridiculous ways.

Lancelot, whispers: You are very upset because of that Lord Asshole’s shitty comment toward the Druids, aren’t you.

Mordred, calm and composed: No, I am a knight of Camelot and a grown man, I will not be bothered by something so trivial. I am not upset at all.

Lancelot: You aren’t praying to Merlin now are you.

Mordred: How is that relevant?

Merlin: *BARGING INTO THE MEETING* *SHOOTING FIRE BEAMS FROM HIS EYE, DESTROYING THE PATH AS HE WALKS* *GRABBING LORD ASSHOLE BY A COLLAR THEN PROCEEDS TO GERMAN SUPLEX HIM ON THE TABLE*

Arthur, watching this happens for the third time this week:

Arthur: Mordred, we talked about this, you have to express your thoughts and feelings verbally, not by praying to Merlin

Merlin: Don’t force him Arthur! He will talk when he is ready!

Arthur: STOP SPOILING HIM YOU ARE JUST HAPPY YOU GET TO PUNCH NOBLES

Also, when he is extremely happy, he prays to Merlin as well, like ‘Thanks Emrys for all the good fortunes that happen to me today’

Elyan: Arthur complimented Mordred at training today didn’t he? Maybe saying something like ‘you are going to be one of Camelot finest knights soon’

Percival: How do you know??? you were not there today????

Elyan, watching Merlin’s skin glows, not even in an oh so beautiful ethereal way but like a radioactive sun way: It’s .. hard to miss…

The first time Mordred wins a tournament, Merlin radiates for three days straight. His voice also sounds godly with all the weirdly smooth echoes and harp melody complimenting his every word. Mordred is exhilarated. Arthur is going insane. Merlin finally officially bans Mordred from praying to him.

gumi w an insecure! reader. like she needs to be reminded that she’s pretty enough & good enough 🥹

Maybe I’m becoming very gumi biased but I feel like he would do alright with an insecure s/o. He’s not necessarily the most emotional person and a very logical thinker but he’s pretty familiar with feeling insecure; being trained by the strongest for most of your former years inevitably means you’ll compare yourself to the strongest. So yeah, insecurity was no stranger to megumi, and logically he knew everyone had them. But for some reason you not feeling good enough or pretty enough or enough for him never clicked in his head when you were all he could have ever wanted.

You’re strong in your convictions, kind even in the face of evil and one of the best sorcerers he knows. He can’t for the life of him understand how you don’t see your own beauty. When he sees you, it feels like finally coming home after living in shitty excuses for houses his entire life. Being with you makes him damn every word gojo’s ever said about love being a curse because you couldn’t be anything short of a blessing. Sometimes he liked to believe despite the femininity of his name, maybe it was a prophecy for finally getting to meet you. So he couldn’t understand, couldn’t get out of his own head to see you as anything less than amazing. But he tried to understand.

He spent his time reading articles and blog posts on how to help an insecure partner. He knew he couldn’t fix it because there wasn’t anything to be fixed—despite his Capricorn fix it Felix ass earth sign brain wanting to—so he immediately began playing the supportive role. He usually kept most of his affections internal but he began to verbalize them more even though being openly vulnerable made him want to slam his head between the wall and the fridge. He tries to compliment your fighting style more when you guys spar together even if it gets him unwanted attention from his upperclassman for showing anything other than contempt.

He’s not one for shallow affections and although they’re still pretty sparse, he finds himself holding you on chilly evenings, sat on top of the training buildings, running his hand along your cheek and telling you how he’d die for you everyday like the sun does for the moon.

Reblogs are really appreciated if you like my work :)

Hi! I saw you were wanting some requests, and I was wondering if I could request some fluffy headcannons for Gajeel, Bickslow, Freed, and Gray?? The idea I have is for a female reader who's either as physically strong or a little stronger than them, really well built from training to get to that point. Like a lot of people, sometimes she gets insecure about how she looks, and sometimes she feels like she has too much of a more stereotypical masculine build. So I was wondering if you could do some headcannons about what the guys would do to make sure she knows she's perfect the way she is in their eyes? You don't have to if you don't want to, of course. Either way, I appreciate you even looking at the request!

A/n: Hi! Thank you so much for the request. I hope I captured what you were hoping for. Anyways enjoy and remember to hydrate or diedrate.

Gajeel:

Gajeel does not care how strong you are or how muscular you look, as long as you are happy he’s happy.

He’s not the best with words so if you’re having a bad day he will first offer to do things with you

“Do you want to spar?” or “We could go out?” His goal is to try and get you out of your head by shifting your focus elsewhere.

If going to do something doesn’t work, be ready for physical affection

He will hug you like his life depends on it and if the hug doesn’t work he’s got back up plans

Back up plan number one, placing kisses to every part of your body that makes you feel insecure

Every kiss holds so much love that he hopes you understand just how much you mean to him

Back up plan number two, this is really his last ditch effort because again this man sucks at expressing things verbally

He will stumble over his words as he explains that he loves every single thing about you and how proud he is that you chose to work so hard to be exactly who you want to be

Gajeel over all is just a super caring guy, he’s just not the best at verbally explaining things so bare with him

Bickslow:

Bickslow definitely has his moments

He comes off as someone who can’t take anything seriously and so at first he may not realize when you’re having a hard time

His go to is making jokes and trying to lighten the mood, when that doesn’t work he’ll take moment to think

Once he realizes why you aren’t feeling the best he goes into straight comfort mode

Expect hugs and compliments, some compliments may be on the more suggestive side but he’s trying

Also expect his dolls to try and comfort you as well, mostly just floating closer to you and repeating Bickslow’s words of affirmation

Bickslow definitely takes a more silly approach at first, but be patient he’ll figure it out

Freed:

Freed is probably the most direct of the men on this list

He’s super observant so he would easily pick up on the fact that you aren’t feeling great

Instead of trying to reassure you through physical affection or sweet compliments, he’s more straight forward

He’ll tell you straight up that you are perfect the you are and being strong is nothing to feel bad about

He will also express how no matter what anyone else may say about your appearance  you will always be perfect in his opinion

Again Freed is very direct and straightforward, but if his direct approach doesn’t work well he will fold and dish out kisses and hugs to help you feel better

Gray:

I think we can all agree Gray is also not great with his words

He would fumble over ways to make you feel better before settling on one of three plans

First plan, offer to spar and express how great it is to be on equal footing with you

Second plan, physical affection. Kisses and hugs that express his love for you

Third plan, words of encouragement. Directly complimenting you and how strong you are.

If he’s going with plan three he is definitely going to use Erza as an example, afterall she is the perfect example of a strong beautiful women

He’s not doing it to compare you to her but just to show you that you aren’t the only one and you don’t need to feel bad about being more muscular than others.

These clips are from the first six minutes of S2E12, 'The Alternate'. And I had to talk about the journey that Odo takes us on with his body language and mannerisms here.

Armchair body language analysis under the cut. Grab a snack; I am a person who is full of words.

In the beginning, Odo is rigid as usual, but he starts to change as soon as he walks into that bar. In that first moment of him looming over Quark, it's like he's eagerly anticipating the verbal spar he's about to engage in.

You quickly see him become more and more relaxed as he talks to Quark. He becomes increasingly animated, to the point of being downright playful. His tone rises and falls with his sarcasm, reaching almost cartoonish levels on occasion. There's a warmth to him even when he's expressing annoyance with Quark.

Eye contact with Quark is constant and intense. He's distinctly leaning towards Quark the whole time. He says more than he needs to, because he's having fun screwing with Quark, and it's overall just an adorable scene.

And then Dr. Mora shows up, rudely interrupting their psychosexual makeout sesh.

The change is instant. Odo's posture becomes incredibly tense and avoidant, leaning back slightly. The sassy head-swaggles are gone, replaced with frantic attempts to find anything to look at other than Dr. Mora. He seems to desperately hang on to every opportunity he has to look at Quark instead. (There's a joke somewhere here on tumblr about how Quark is Odo's 'emotional support criminal' - in this scene, he literally is!)

Odo speaks in strained, terse tones and stares downward in a heartbreakingly submissive manner as Mora treats him like a specimen instead of a person.

Odo physically drags Mora away, not wanting him to interact with Quark any more than necessary. He further reinforces this by telling Mora he doesn't want to know Quark.

I'm guessing he just doesn't want to explain the Thing he has going on with Quark. That would be difficult enough to explain even to the people who know Odo - he sure as hell doesn't want to try to explain it to the abuser who's just going to criticize and analyze it.

Then there's that beautiful little 'fuck you' affectation on the way he pulls that chair out for Mora... and then we have an absolutely withering murderglare in the shuttle.

I think this scene is amazing because it gives us a Quodo segment that is so long and playful that it borders on fanservice, then immediately follows it up with an encounter so uncomfortable that it makes us angry on Odo's behalf.

This shows us the stark difference between how Odo behaves around the person he's only pretending to hate... and how he behaves around the person he actually hates.

How much more relaxed would Odo have become if his playtime with Quark hadn't been interrupted? Dr. Mora cockblocked all of us when he showed up, and I will never forgive him for that.

Could u write a mk1 kung lao x gn or male reader where they have a rivalry going on? And one day reader starts flirting with him during a sparring session and kung lao gets all flustered please. Please include kenshi, johnny and raiden watching them spar and then tease kung lao about it. Thank you!

MK1 Kung Lao rivalry with GN!reader

Short one-shots, I hope you enjoy it!

Small details : Raiden and Kung Lao sees each other as brothers

Disclaimer : English ain't my native language. There might be mistakes in this and I apologizes for them

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Training at the Wu Shi Academy was tougher than it seemed. At first when Lord Liu Kang had approached them, (Y/n) was weary. However, the god had proven to be quite convincing and so (Y/n) had begrudgingly agreed.

One thing was for sure, those monks knew how to pick their location. The Wu Shi Academy was simply jawbreaking. Whether it was from the cherry blossoms or the traditional Chinese structure, everything around the temple left whoever came gawking.

What the god hadn’t predicted once every potential champion gathered at the academy, was for two of them to get into an rivalry instantly. Since day one, Kung Lao and (Y/n) were at each other’s throats. Most of the time, Lao would be the one to instigate the verbal back and forth. Until one day, (Y/n) got fed up with the snarky comments of the other man and took things physical. Did Kung Lao learn his lesson after this? Of course not. It seemed the man was fueled even more by it.

This went on for weeks, even months. So much so that whenever they would fight, Johnny would roll his eyes announcing to the rest of the group that the “old married couple was bickering again”.

Eventually, Lord Liu Kang decided to intervene.

That’s how (Y/n) found themselves forced into a sparring match against Kung Lao. This time, their kombat would be supervised by the god himself. Of course, Johnny did not want to miss such a thing and forced Kenshi to come along. Raiden was also present if only to try and calm his brother down if such need arose.

Round one was given to (Y/n) after a well thrown uppercut had knocked Kung Lao out for a few seconds.

Round two found Kung Lao as the winner. His quick mastery of his new weapon had offered him the unpredictability.

Down to the last round, both kombatant were bruised and slightly exhausted. Each looking into the other's eyes, determined to show the other who was truly the best.

“I promise not to go too hard on you” Kung Lao said snuggly.

“Oh but I like it hard” Came the smooth response of (Y/n) which made the farmer freeze.

Behind them, Johnny whistled. The tip of Kung Lao’s ears changed to a barely visible shade of red. Glaring at the superstar, Kung Lao readied himself for the last match

Once the countdown had reached zero and the two kombatant were on each other, (Y/n) took advantage of the new found shyness of the other. Flirty remarks flew out of their mouth whenever they could. Surprisingly, Kung Lao would join in the flirting. He wasn’t bad either.

Kung Lao fell to the ground, raising sand as he landed. Although he was quickly back on his feet, they couldn’t help themselves.

“You know, you’d look good underneath me.”

More whistling in the back, but they didn’t pay it any attention. Their eyes were laser focused on Kung Lao, enjoying the way their flirting seemed to affect the other. This went on and on, until Kung Lao misplaced his left leg a tad bit too far apart from the other, giving them the opportunity to make their fatal blow.

“(Y/n)’s win.”

Approaching the sulking Lao, they extended their hand toward the man.

“Better luck next time, handsome.”

Accepting the offered hand, Kung Lao tried to regain his snarky attitude. For the first time since their arrival, (Y/n) gave him a genuine smile.

“ I think we started on the wrong foot, how about we try again?”

Only now realising that he had yet to let go of their hand, Kung Lao squeezed it gently before letting it go.

“Sounds good to me.”

Later, during the night’s diner, Kung Lao would be victim to the teasing of one annoying superstar. Even Raiden joined in as well as Kenshi. Ah the betrayal, Kung Lao swore he would get his revenge on them one day.

hiiii HI I LOVE YOUR WORK SO MUCH the bihan fic was MUAH

could i request some bihan or kuai liang with a chubby fem reader?

(slightly suggestive)

kuai liang is a very hands on man. not that he necessarily means to be—but really, how could he not be? considering that he wields the power of pyromancy, it's pretty safe to assume that he loves the feeling of warmth. what better person to warm him than you? you're all soft and all curve and he wants nothing more than to feel your body against his own. this is especially the case if kuai liang is still with the lin kuei—the temple is situated in such a cold environment, he’d want nothing more than to hold you close and bury his face in the warmth of your neck.

the lin kuei is a strict clan. i doubt he’d be able to show you the amount of affection he’d wanted, considering his role and the general stern nature of the clan. you'd have to deal with fleeting touches and kisses when nobody is looking; discreet squeezes of the curve of your ass when he's feeling especially needy for your body.

when he forms the shirai ryu, however… he’s always got a hand on you, one way or the other. his hands somehow always reach your hip, pinching at the meat of them... not even to show off how the two of you or together, but more needy from the desperation to feel you against him.

kuai liang would tell you a billion times over just how much he loves and craves your body. and show you. in many ways. he’s a man that’s all hard, body molded from decades of vigorous training. the softness of your skin is definitely a welcome and needed reprieve—expect to never be let go unless he absolutely has to.

god forbid you’re slightly insecure because of your body—he absolutely would not let that happen. kuai liang would constantly remind you of how beautiful you are, remind you how much he loves grabbing the softness of your body. if not verbally, then physically. he’d grab and grip at every single part of your body… especially your thighs. he’d use them as earmuffs if he could

he's all sweet and loving to you. so sweet your teeth rot

bihan seems indifferent at first. he appreciates the extra meat for him to grab on to when he's driving into you—but otherwise, you wouldn't really hear or notice anything from him about it.

at first.

the more time you spend with him, the touchier he gets. his hand might slip under the table you're sat at with the rest of the clan and reach for the meat of your thighs. if not the thighs, he's gripping your ass a little bit too hard. he can't help it

expect for him to "randomly" bump into you as you turn the corners of the temple... and of course he'd berate you about watching where you were going. secretly, he was seeking you out just to feel your softness on him.

if you're a ninja... you will get called to sparring sessions. often. just so that he can put you in different positions where you're flush against his chest and so that he can have permission to grasp at all of your curves and soft body in public without anyone suspecting anything.

do not be insecure. seriously. he will be actually offended and take that as an attack on his preferences. you will be scolded. he wants all of you. if the two of you are officially together, he might be a little nicer about it. but he'd still be seriously offended. he would make you feel guilty for being insecure about your body.

"do you truly think so little of your grandmaster? you think that i would choose someone who's body isn't up to my standards?"

i doubt that he's a cuddler... but that doesn't mean he doesn't love the feeling of your skin and warmth against his—expect him to be a little too close whenever you're bent over a table reading a map or a lot too close whenever it's just you and him alone.

pls minhkhoa khan/ghostmaker relationship head-canons

Minhkhoa Khan x male reader

Relationship headcanons

I don’t know much about being diagnosed as a psychopath, so I’m not gonna involve that part of Khoas character, since I don’t wanna make assumptions about it.

It’s said that Khoa doesn’t feel empathy or fear though, which is interesting.

I’ve always imagined Khoa is someone who shows his affection through physical items, like an expensive watch or a personally tailored suit. Maybe even a brand-new car, or even a whole new apartment in the most expensive part of town.

I can’t see him as someone who verbalizes his love very much, like he wouldn’t say I love you multiple times a way. Instead, he would give you a gift, or squeeze you extra tight when you hug or kiss you extra longingly.

If you are a vigilante like him, he would make sure you had the best gear as well, to keep you safe. He would absolutely love to spar with you too, and its one of the easiest and fastest ways to get him riled up.

Outside of sparring, he loves to watch you wear his clothes or the stuff he’s bought for you. He always gets this curled smile on his lips as he saunters towards you, grabbing your hips or crawling up the bed and lying beside you.

His hands wander when you guys are together, it doesn’t even have to be anything sensual. Khoa just likes to touch you and be in contact with you at all times.

Khoa has a bit of an ego, so you have to stroke it sometimes. He can’t help but puff up a bit and chuckle when you call him handsome or squeeze his muscles and whistle about how he seems buffer than normal. Even if its just jokes, he likes it.

If you aren’t a vigilante, expect to be taught how you protect yourself. That’s a necessity to date him, if he truly cares about you, he is gonna train you. Khoa is not a kind teacher, but he always patches you up afterwards and will give you all the kisses and gifts you could want.

He doesn’t praise your work if it isn’t good though, he had very rough trainers himself, so he isn’t gonna compliment shabby work. This is when you’d figure out how seeing you being strong and lethal gets him going, if you hadn’t figured it out before.

You have to be okay with murder, since that’s one of the reasons he does what he does. Even better if you have the same morals at him, expect him to purr flirty comments into the comms when he sees you break a neck or take someone out.

You are gonna meet Batman at least a few times, those two are connected in one way or another. You don’t have to worry about being jealous though, with Batman or anyone else, Khoa is loyal to a T when you guys become official, and he expects the same from you.

It is kinda fun to make him a little jealous sometimes, if glares could kill the person flirting with you would go up in flames and cease to exist. Khoa always make sure you know who your partner is, one way or another.

Arguments can be pretty tense with him, especially if neither of you like to apologize. I can’t see him being super emotional and mushy, so after an argument you two would both go by yourself to cool off.

If he is in the wrong, he would come back later with flowers or something you like, would kiss you softly and hold you and quietly say he’s sorry. If you are the one in the wrong, you can do the same and he would forgive you.

If you guys get married, you know damn well your wedding is gonna be expensive. Even if you want something lowkey, your wedding is gonna cost enough that it leaves you feeling faint. The rings probably cost more money then you have ever seen, but seeing Khoa puff up like a proud peacock seeing you wear it, makes you feel like cautious about it.

[narrativelysignificantturtleduck]

Hey! I always love hearing your interpretations of this pairing so 34 & 51 for pianjeong?

i love your pianjeong as well!!!

34. Who's more likely to tell a dirty joke or story to make the other blush?

neither are particularly scandalized by dirty jokes/stories (soldiers) but piandao definitely enjoys a good joke. he wouldn't be a sokka fan if he didn't have a sense of humor. i think if the goal is make the person laugh, it's piandao, because jeong jeong is, as we know, pretty serious and sad. try to get him to loosen up, you know?

but also, the one indication that jeong jeong has a sense of humor is when he tells aang "you want to stop breathing?" so we know he has a touch of - for lack of a better word - brattiness. i think jeong jeong sees piandao's wealth and status and, having known him before all of that, likes to prod at him a little. violate the boundaries of upper-class propriety and see how piandao reacts, see if he's still the same person underneath. that could involve saying dirty things in the hopes of scandalizing him or making him blush. and it probably would shock piandao, because it seems so out of character. it might take a second to realize he's being baited.

they are not like, the most toxic disaster ship ever, but there is an element of them messing with each other, prodding a bit to see what makes the other tick. i think they were a bit enemies-to-lovers in the early days, with piandao resenting a firebending prodigy and jeong jeong being offended (but also kinda turned on) by said disrespect. homoerotic sparring. this fic

51. What’s a non verbal way they say I love you?

i think in the early stages of living together post-canon, piandao tries to give jeong jeong a lot of space, let him adjust in his own time, and even after they get together they can still be pretty solitary people, that's just who they are. it's a big estate and they have that room. this is one way piandao shows love - letting jeong jeong have that space, but still kinda keeping tabs on him to make sure he's like, eating and sleeping and taking care of himself. i saw a post once about ship dynamics that was like "ships where one partner has to be pspspspsps'ed into it like a stray cat" and that's pianjeong. piandao gives him food and a comfortable spot to sleep and tries not to overwhelm him or push too hard. and jeong jeong eventually stops hissing at people and begins to accept affection.

and also like a cat, one of the ways jeong jeong would show love is just by hanging out in the same room, even if they're not talking or interacting. he's reassuring piandao that he won't leave again, that he's physically there.

i guess this is just me saying jeong jeong's a catgirl lol

Rock Lee x Reader HCs

[I haven't finished Naruto yet but I absolutely adore this silly guy :) Please forgive if there's any inaccuracies and enjoy some sweet headcanons!]

[Word count: ≈600]

🪷 Lee is incredibly affectionate, but in an awkward and cute sort of way. He's naturally direct and makes the first moves, reaching for your hand or planting a kiss on your face with a triumphant look. He acts so suave but as soon as the roles reverse he's caught completely off guard! If you return his confidence and move on him first you bet he'll be a blushing mess in an instant.

🪷 Lee's love language is a mix of physical and verbal. He's easy to please - the little things like holding hands, kisses on the cheek, and some playful flirting make his heart skip a beat. If you're a more reserved person his affection may come off as strong, but he'll find a way to make it work for you!

🪷 Lee’s favorite way of showing affection is holding hands. It's simple but shows everyone that you're a great pair! He always feels stronger when your hand is in his.

🪷 Lee also likes when you play with his hair. Some of the other ninja have probably teased him about it and it's a relief that you find it cute. His hair is surprisingly soft and super smooth :)

🪷 Lee is a sucker for cheesy pick-up lines (and probably gets most of them from Guy and the other ninja, who assure him they're “guaranteed to work.”) However Lee always finds a way to get flustered and say the line wrong, which turns out even cuter than the alternative.

🪷 Lee likes using cute and simple nicknames for you, his favorite being my lotus. He thinks it's clever and sweet :’)

🪷 Lee is your biggest cheerleader! If you're battling, he'll be watching front-and-center and shouting his heart out! Even when the odds are against you, he roots for you just the same. Nobody else's doubts can change his mind.

🪷 When you win, Lee is BEYOND overjoyed. “I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT! WOOHOO!!!” And as soon as you leave the battlefield, he sweeps you off your feet and twirls you around in a tight hug.

🪷 Even when you lose, Lee cheers you up with the same amount of energy. “I know you can do it next time! Don't give up! We'll get stronger together!” Lee knows how it feels to want to better yourself and he'll do everything he can to motivate you.

🪷 Lee is very protective, especially on missions. If you get injured during a fight, he'll go all-out on the enemy and keep you safe. Despite being shaken up, Lee tries his best to keep a level head and reassure you as he uses his bandages to patch you up. You're in good hands!

🪷 Lee loves showing off his strength for you. He'll make any excuse to lift you up and carry you bridal style or on his shoulders, or to move something heavy for you. It's a sweet way of proving that his training is paying off!

🪷 At the same time, Lee is secretly nervous to go overboard, especially while you're training together. When you first started sparring he held back a lot, but once you got closer and he learned your limits, training became a lot more fun for both of you.

🪷 Though he tries to hide it, Lee still sometimes has nightmares about his fight with Gaara when he was younger. He tosses and turns in his sleep, wincing as he grips his arm. Luckily, snuggling up to him and sharing some comforting words makes him feel a lot better. He also loves when you gently massage or kiss the spots where he was injured.

Dav spoilers below the cut!! (Up to just before leaving for the anderfels)

Okay I've gotten off for today so I wanna ramble a little bit about my playthrough so far!!

I am geniuenly adoring it so far! Alot of the problems I have with inquisition are non-existent, the combat is fun, the characters are likeable. Sadly the purple rook options aren't as much of an asshole as I would like (purple Hawke you will be missed) but they are nice! The writing so far has been solid imo.

I really like that the cameo characters aren't taking up too much space. While I do get excited to see them, I don't want them overshadowing the new characters, like they kinda did in previous games. The cameos are also way sooner than I was expecting!!

So far I've only had one instance of "that is NOT what I meant to say" with the dialogue wheel which I count as a win (when I recruited lucanis I said 'ill keep an eye on you' thinking it was out of concern 😭 that may have just been a skill issue on my end tho. I reloaded that save so fast). I also really like the romance dialogue options so far. They aren't so overwhelming cringe that it makes me wanna curl up and die inside (I am staring directly at you Hawke who SAYS THAT to a man who's BOYFRIEND JUST DIED). They all feel very nice and flirty in a way that isn't in your face. I am also really REALLY liking the companion writing so far. All of the characters are charming and I'm already more invested in them than I was in the inquisiton cast sorry 😭

While Rook does talk a lot on their own, so far it all feels very in line with what Revari would say. While I do miss being able to control everything the PC says, ik logically we'll never get a dragon age game like that again so it's not something I was expecting. Very happy nothing feels glaringly "they would not fucking say that"

I I thought the lack of worldstate choice was going to be more glareingly obvious but tbh i kinda forget about it for most the playthrough. It still sucks that there isn't more worldstate options, but yk I can't change that

Lucanis is already really growing on me!!! He's just a silly little guy and I am a SUCKER for them. Born to be a chef forced to be an assassin frfr...

Neve gallus obviously has my whole heart if you didn't know. The longer she's on screen the more I love her. She hasn't left my party since Bellaras recruitment quest.

Very interested in Bellara. For a hot second I thought her brother was going to be Felassan so I was mildly disappointed that it wasn't 😭 although ultimately making it a new character is a better narrative choice.

I LOVE that you can encourage Lace's abilities!!! I have a feeling that how you tell her to channel her abilities (whether through joy or through fear) is going to affect the outcome of her story... Also love that if you show optimism about her abilities she also shows excitement about them

Varric and Rooks relationship is so sweet to me!!! I mean he calls them kid you guys should know I was gonna be a sucker for it. While I know that's probably annoying for older Rooks, it works for Revari. I'm also very glad he has a distinct different relationship with Rook than he did with Hawke and The Inquisitor. He's clearly very fond of them and it makes me happy idk. Also the sheer fucking difference between the way he acts towards the Inquisitor (even one he's friendly with!!) and rook is so funny. Inky really is just his ex boss huh 😭

I've only talked to Solas twice so far but I'm already more invested in his and Rooks dynamic than I was with him in the Inquisitor sorry 😭 I didn't romance him so he didn't really do it for me in Inquistion, but I'm low-key looking forward to seeing him again. His little jabs in the second talk after you "exchange verbal spars" is so fun, and I think it really hammers in the "Solas reflects back the people he interacted with". He did it with the Inquisitor, and is doing it again with Rook, but it's SO much more interesting to me in this game so far idk. Maybe it's because he's responding to specific comments? Idk Revari is a bit of a shithead so. I don't think Revari hates Solas, but they are a bit wary of him.

The voice acting has been very solid so far as well!! Nothing that's glarely bad to me at least. I also really like some of the facial animations; while some of them can feel a bit flat in general conversation, some of them are REALLY good. There was a bit where Dorian started snarking and he curled his lip. And another where Rook opened their mouth like they were going to talk but didn't. Idk the facial animations are REALLY standing out to me. This is so much better than the previous games I am not even over exaggerating. Dragon age "Every character wears an ugly sneer all the time" Inquisiton you will not be missed... Obviously it's because the technology is better but it is really really obvious how much attention went into the faces I am here for it

The combat is so fucking fun. Ik it won't be everyones cup of tea but I am having a BLAST. It didn't take me very long to get the hang of and it's very satisfying to play with.

I am also fucking LOVING how relevant your backstory is!!! Like yes!!! I am a shadow dragon!!!! There's so many additional dialogue about it even just in casual conversations! I never felt like the game forgot about it. Rooks connection to their faction is great and I love the fact that they know people and people know them. Shadow dragon rook ily 🫶

I really like how much it feels like this game remembers what you've done. From Lucanis remembering your preferred drinks (Revari likes their coffee STRONG) to Varric feeling like he let you down after you encouraged him, so far it really feels like what I'm doing is sticking and that makes me SO fucking happy.

Final thing!!! This game looks absolutely fucking gorgeous I keep getting blown away by the views. I do wish I could zoom my camera out a bit more just to take everything in bc it's SO big I love it!!! So far it is geniuenly meeting my expectations and I am SO FUCKING RELIEVED. I have been so worried it was gonna be dogshit for WEEKS

[by-glass-and-waves]

So I may have decided to do some work on a 19th century AU ha ha ha sorry pls let me know if anyone else has already claimed it for themselves

And hilariously, it is an AU based on Restart, so it'll have Allani and her banter with Narinder. At least I hope it'd be good banter.

So think Pride and Prejudice vibes but Cult of the Lamb

And it might be because I watched the movie Emma. And because it was the time of the year to watch Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility.

Bishops: Royal family of the Lands of the Old Faith, each sibling has a title

Shamura: the ruler, obvs

Narinder: doesn't flex his title or royal family status and just wants to do his own thing, which gets him estranged from the others because they see him as shirking his duties. He's only on good terms with Leshy and they visit each other on occasion, causing rumors that they're conspiring against Shamura

Ratau: mayor, retired military officer, owns a shipping company with Ratoo

Ratoo: retired naval officer, usually out on voyages with The Goods™, not sure if I'd have his fiancée lost to sea/drowning incident or have her in town because they deserve a happy ending

Baal and Aym: learning magic and combat from Ratau (and sometimes Ratoo when he pops up)

Forneus: owner of the local inn

Lamb (I'll be honest, it's Allani from Restart): adopted daughter of Ratau, he found her during a campaign in which her hometown was razed, there were a few other survivors who joined his town, also learning how to magic and combat from Ratau

Hauron: another survivor and adopted son of Ratau, super protective cousin of Allani

Rakshasha and the missus: work in Forneus' kitchen? Or should they work in Narinder's kitchen idk

Plimbo: another employee of Ratau and Ratoo, always complaining about his MIL visiting him and his wife every other week

Midas: that guy who owns super decked out place and has parties all the time, and MAYBE some out-of-towners go missing after, and MAYBE he has a few new sculptures in their likenesses after, but no one asks questions

So Narinder might be this mysterious gentleman who just moved into the big house down the street, whatever, no big deal, sounds like he's been Ratau and Ratoo's benefactor and is finally showing his face etc.

Narinder comes by to discuss business matters with the Rat brothers when she runs into him and goes "excuse me you aren't even gonna apologize?" when he acts all "ugh you messed up my coat"

Meanwhile Ratau in the background shaking his head and silently mouthing "NO STOP"

Narinder decides he does need some employees to care for his home and hires Allani, Hauron, the Twins, and other townspeople

Cue verbal sparring as Allani challenges the fuck out of Narinder and his life choices or something while he thinks he can whittle her down

Hauron is super overprotective, is like "I don't like that rich character" and tries to set her up with other townspeople/whoever, much to her annoyance, Narinder's entertainment, and eventually, his growing jealousy

Especially like "also he's of a higher standing than we are, it's foolish to think that you'd have a chance with him or that he'd have genuine affection for you, sorry fam but he'd def want to marry into similar status because $" not knowing he's got the royal family's wallet in his pocket

Shamura and family still care for him, it's just most of them think he's an idiot for just wanting to fuck around and not be responsible and will happily welcome him back once he decides he does want to do his duties

I can't wait for interactions like this:

Leshy: I heard you have a maid gf

Narinder: spits out camellia tea

Allani: pours more tea on Narinder in shock while yelling at Leshy EXCUSE ME?

Also something I'm toying with rn

I wonder if Narinder should use another name because not everyone knows or needs to know he's royalty. Would be fun to use names for the afterlife/death deities. Asphodel, Akert, Amenthes, Mitnal, Kur, whatever else. Leaning on Asphodel or Amenthes.

But yeah I'm just gonna add it to my belt of oops stories/AUs

[cacklefrendly]

At this point i want to hear all of your gin and vodka hc cause we need more of them also cause youre art is AMAZING

OH ANON I WILL TAKE ANY EXCUSE TO PREACH THE GOOD WORD OF THE VESPER COCKTAIL

but first listen hey just. jsut listen to me.

have you considered the inherent vulnerability of standing next to someone who could happily kill you in a hundred different ways and trusting that they won't. of always being on guard for a knife in your back but knowing that there is exactly One Person who stands behind you who'd never raise that blade.

because my friends. that is Gin and Vodka.

ok these is in no particular order buuut here are some HCs that i work from as a baseline for rotating them both in my head:

Both of them are in their early 40s, and joined the Black Organization at about the same time. Gin joined from the criminal side of things, while Vodka joined as a legit office worker. They started working together a few years in.

They are SO GOOD at non-verbal communication. They've completely changed mission plans on-the-spot multiple times, all with a couple of glances and nods.

Vodka fell for Gin YEARS before the events of canon but there is no world in which he makes the first move. Initially his silence was because "i would rather not risk pissing off my Murder-Boss who would maybe react by Murdering Me" but he's stayed silent because. Well. He's honestly happy with their relationship as-is. He can see how much Gin trusts him, values that immensely, and reciprocates it. They live together, for god's sake. It's not a romantic thing, sure, and sometimes Vodka wishes it was, but he cherishes what they have more than anything. ...meanwhile Gin is demi-romantic and very autistic and straight-up does not realize that he's in love with Vodka. he'll figure it out. eventually.

If you want to compare them to dogs (and i very much DO), then Gin is a Borzoi (sighthound) and Vodka is a Clumber Spaniel (flushing dog). Vodka scares targets into running and Gin chases them down.

Vodka runs hot and Gin runs cold. They achieve thermal equilibrium when they cuddle!! But it usually means the car's temperature is set way too hot for Vodka.

Gin is well aware that he's a vicious person in every aspect of his life, but he's waaaay past the point where he tries to hide it. Vodka likes his viciousness. Gin likes that Vodka likes his viciousness. They're both freaks and should be together to keep them from mauling the public.

I like to think that their canon height difference is an artifact of the show being Detective Conan — it's part of Conan's view of the world. Gin’s the one who attacked him as Shinichi, the one who keeps coming the closest to finding Conan out, the one who's more cruel and ruthless. Vodka ticks all those boxes too, yeah, but Gin is the one who Conan's actually scared of. So, from Conan's perspective, we see Gin as super frigging tall. He looms over everything, he's untouchable — while Vodka’s just Some Guy who looks pathetic and kinda meek when standing next to Gin. In reality — AKA, according to how i draw them — Gin and Vodka are the same height. Taller than Vodka’s canon height, but shorter than Gin’s. (Technically Gin is, like, an inch or two shorter, but it's such an insignificant difference that their hats and shoes make them the same.)

An outside observer would think that Gin takes everything Vodka offers and gives nothing in return, but that's not true. It's just that he shows affection like a large cat: with mauled corpses and by invading Vodka's personal space. He also does stuff like 'lets Vodka drive his very expensive and hard-to-get car' and 'respects Vodka's take on situations' and 'keeps falling asleep on Vodka' and—

They spar. Sometimes, those spars are all-out. During those spars, Gin tends to bite. A lot! There's blood. Vodka is okay with being his chew-toy. A little too okay with it. You could go so far as to say he's eager. In Gin's defense, if you're fighting for your life you have got to take any opening you can. There is no defense for Vodka.

Theoretically, if Kaitou KID were to disguise as Gin, then Vodka "My Main Love Language Is Learning Other's Mannerisms" BlackOrg would clock him in minutes. He wouldn't say anything immediately, but he spends too much time working with Gin to fall for that shit. If Kaitou KID were to disguise as Vodka, then Gin "My Main Love Language Is Letting My Guard Down" BlackOrg wouldn't realize something was up unless KID stood directly next to him — at which point Gin would switch to his second Love Language, Murder.

The first song Vodka ever sang to Gin was Hallelujah. Someday, it will be the last song he ever sings to Gin.

The first time they met was technically way back when Vodka was working for one of the B.Org's fronts and not in on the illegal stuff yet. His immediate superior, Syrah, was killed by Gin — who was going by a different codename at the time, Kina Lillet. Vodka was bringing paperwork to Syrah's office but heard the tail end of some yelling and the sounds of a struggle. When Kina walked out looking Suspiciously Casual wearing all black and generally looking Scary As Shit he decided that he was not getting payed enough to die for that company. Kina asked "how much did you hear" and Vodka replied "i mind my damn business, sir, so frankly i didn't hear shit" and went on his way to figure out an alibi. (They met formally a couple years later, as Gin and Vodka. Gin recognized Vodka but Vodka didn't recognize Gin.)

wait, is that NICHOLAS ‘NICK’ DUVAL? they kinda look a lot like JOSHUA BASSETT, don’t they? i heard the TWENTY year old is known as the HUMANIST around mckinley. it seems like they auditioned to be in NO GLEE CLUB which is so lame? people at campus have said they’re +BENEVOLENT, but don’t be fooled since they’re also -RESERVED. rumor has it, you can find them at BASEBALL, CHEERIOS, DRAMA, FIGHT CLUB when they aren’t belting show tunes. their entire vibe revolves around A GUITAR, NOTEBOOK, AND MULTIPLE PAIRS OF DANCE SHOES - OUT OF SIGHT IN YOUR CLOSET BUT NEVER OUT OF YOUR MIND, MISSING FOR SOMETHING - OR SOMEONE - NO LONGER THERE, SHARING AN AFFECTION AMONGST FRIENDS but no one pays attention to that here in ohio.

🎤 auditioning with: nothing. "i can't sing." a little white lie to conceal the true reason and allow him an easy escape to continue on his way.

(MORE BELOW THE CUT)

TRIGGER FOR PARENTAL DEATH - for as long as nick can remember, he loved performing. in his younger years, he was a frequent participant in community theatre and talent shows as part of a band with either his older siblings or a group of friends. there was nothing like the adrenaline rush following a successful show, the camaraderie with cast and crew mates or friendly competition amongst other people showing off their talents, or the electricity in the air that came from connection with an audience. then the summer before nick’s freshman year of high school, his dad suddenly passed away and seemed to take his love of performing with him. to this day, nick hasn’t uttered a note in public nor has he touched an instrument and he usually serves as a crew member in the drama club.

so, how did nick end up at an arts college considering his unofficial and seemingly permanent retirement from performing? easy. the first factor came in the form of his scholarships, one for academics and the others from the various sports he participated in whilst in high school. the second factor comes from a desire for stability. one day nick will be ready for adventures and to see what the wider world has to offer, but right now, it is an incredible comfort to know that his family is nearby and ready to provide aid while he steps into proper adult life. plus, who says that one needs to attend a more traditional college in order to gain useful skills and a fulfilling education?

being a class clown and prankster comes as easily as breathing to nick. he has loved making people laugh and smile since he was young which has only grown as he has gotten older. however, this particular trait is simultaneously akin to being a suit of armor for nick. not only is he able to verbally spar with the best of them, being one of the resident comedians can obscure signs of something being wrong to untrained eyes. there are people who need the attention and aid more during their times of need, plus nick does not wish to be a reason someone he cares about is worried.

nick is pansexual! only thing that matters to him is positive vibes and fun times with his current romantic interest! however, he is also known to err on the side of caution when it comes to dating due to his familiarity with heartache in the form of either break ups or by death coming along and parting couples way on down the road. so he tends to stick with occasional one night stands or friends with benefits types of situations nowadays.

the duval family is comfortably wealthy thanks to their old money roots. nick has never been the sort of person to flaunt these riches, but will never pass up an opportunity to send funds in support of a good cause or to treat his friends with delicious meals or gifts. he doesn’t view it as charity and would never force it on someone. nick is simply a guy who is happy to help however he can, treat his friends, and utilize his resources for worthy reasons.

Hello, sorry for disturbing you, I just wanted to request some fluff with Ananas x Pitaya, if this is possible. Really love them, but can’t find any sweet soft things(. Thank you very much in advance even if you won’t fulfill this request.

Hello, you haven’t disturbed me at all!

Thank you for the request as well, this ship is one that’s had me in like a gentle chokehold for the longest time. They really do need some fluffies.

AKA bitches in love.

Ananas Dragon x Pitaya Dragon

Just fluffs!

Romantic

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ These two are just the definition of an old married couple. They’re both literally hundreds to thousands of years old, and they have that love-hate sort of relationship except it’s more ‘I hate you/pos’ and ‘I will kill you three times over/affectionate.’

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ A lot of banter. A lot. With Pitaya being- well- Pitaya, and Ananas not taking any of the shit the red dragon throws their way, the two often get into squabbles about the smallest of things. They have physically fought more than once, though they rarely ever hurt each other due to them both being dragons and, you know, having tough scales/armor.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ These two also do spar quite a lot as practice, so they aren’t even arguing half the time when they’re fighting. Pitaya and Ananas enjoy sparring against one another- fighting a dragon that could quite easily match you in strength is more exiting than a cookie, and very good practice for when Pitaya gets into their next fight.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Despite how the two squabble and fight, they do love each other. They don’t show it much in public, but they have little sort moments in private. They’ll cuddle up together on a cold night or Pitaya will help Ananas survey their island.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Ananas helps Pitaya manage their savings. Pitaya still has an instinct to hoard gold, being a dragon, but they aren’t nearly as good at managing it as Ananas is nor is their tendency of gold-hoarding as strong as the golden dragon’s is. Ananas has basically become Pitaya’s bank account manager.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ They have been divorced and remarried several times. For them its literally just a meme at this point. They’ll divorce each other at the smallest of things and then come back a month later like ‘hey let’s get married again’ and the other will just be like ‘ok.’ They once got divorced because Ananas refused to help Pitaya open a pickle jar. Plot twist, Pitaya was twisting the wrong way.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ They’ll do each other’s hair every once in a while. Pitaya always has a small streak of yellow hidden deep within his fluff from whenever Ananas decided to dye it. Pitaya keeps up with it pretty nicely, making sure it doesn’t fade or anything. Ananas was surprised to see the yellow streak under his hair intact after a few years.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ When Pitaya visited Ananas one night and Ananas noticed them missing the end of their tail they were like wtf??? Where’s your tail?. Cue Pitaya explaining what happened and Ananas just sighing in that way that you know you’re being called an idiot non verbally.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ Whenever Pitaya wants to get Ananas’ attention but they’re busy or tired they just go into their dragon form and start romping around their islands. Every time Ananas appears and just gives that same sigh as above again. Pitaya helps their mate repair any damage they did, but afterwards they will not leave Ananas alone in their pursuit of affection for at least a week.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ They don’t do a lot of PDA (mainly because they’re annoyed at each other 80% of the time), but they’ll always hold hands whenever they’re together. Just these two big, menacing dragons with their palms and claws hooked together. Ananas says it’s just so Pitaya won’t run off while they aren’t looking, but they do love holding their mate’s hand.

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ They’re both literally immortal or close to it, so they have all of eternity to spend together. Sometimes they’ll go their separate ways for a few years, but they always gravitate back to one another.

Can I please request 💙💘💓 for Yamichar, please?

Hi Anon! Thank you so much for playing my game and for your ask! 🥰 I really appreciate it and hope you'll like these headcanons! For the last one, I apologise that I couldn't tell exactly which category you were requesting and made my best guess of "Family" and wrote a headcanon about Yami and Charlotte with kids, but if you wanted a different category please feel free to send in another ask and I'd be happy to write that for you too.

Questions from this "Bye Bye Writer's Block" Ask Game

YamiChar Headcanons

💙-- Hurt/Comfort

Yami generally feels like he needs to be the strongest in order to protect, provide for, and lead his squad, and this mentality has made it difficult for him to open up to others and show vulnerabilities. As he and Charlotte grow closer, however, she becomes one of the only people he can really put his armor down around, and (though it is a slow process for him) he really does start to share with her things that are difficult for him to tell anyone else: how much he cares and worries about his loved ones (his squad family in particular), how he worries about letting them down, and how he blames himself when he is unable to protect the people he cares about most. Charlotte who has similar feelings (especially in regards to her own squad) is always an empathetic listener and does her best to encourage him that he doesn't have to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders alone. Together they learn that being vulnerable is not the same as being weak and that they can be just as strong if they learn to put their armor down every once in a while and allow themselves to be human.

💘-- Romance

Yami much prefers to show his love with his actions (mainly acts of service) rather than talking about his feelings, and Charlotte generally understands since she gets a little shy and tongue-tied when it comes to verbal expressions of affection herself. However, both the Black Bulls and the Blue Roses make this into a "big deal" and try to get their respective captains to confess their love "properly" to each other. This becomes an even bigger problem when the Black Bulls figure out that Yami plans to propose and insist he can't propose without a speech.

Yami is eventually convinced that Charlotte really hasn't and/or won't understand how much he cares about her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her without him expressing his love in words, so he ends up stumbling his way through writing his feelings down in a speech (with his squad's well-meaning help of course). For Yami's credit, even though he thinks it’s stupid he carries it around with him and actually practices it for at least a week beforehand because he wants things to be special for Charlotte.

When time for the proposal actually arrives, however, he uncomfortably begins the speech but stops abruptly saying, “This is stupid.” He then improvises a very curt, very Yami but actually heartfelt (for Yami anyway) expression of why he wants to marry her. It ends with “I…you know…” To which Charlotte laughs and replies “I…you know…too” and accepts his proposal! 💕

💗-- Family

Though they keep very busy in the future, it is very important to Yami and Charlotte that they always carve out time to spend together with their children as a family. Sometimes this involves just spending an quiet evening at their house with Yami teaching the kids how to play cards or everyone having a dinner comprised of everyone's favourite foods, but more often than not, this involves outings and fun family activities, especially more outdoorsy ones like camping, hiking, or sparring/training together.
