Izuku Midoriya – The Caring Hero Struggling with Unspoken Jealousy

Izuku Midoriya is often selfless and caring, always prioritizing others above himself. His jealousy is subtle, born from his deep desire to be the one who makes you feel safe and valued. When he sees you talking to another guy, even though he understands that it’s harmless, he can’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. It’s not because he wants to control who you talk to, but because he’s afraid that someone else might be able to support you in ways he can’t.

In those moments, Izuku might become quiet and withdrawn, unable to shake the thought that he might be losing your attention or affection to someone else. He doesn’t lash out or show his jealousy openly. Instead, it manifests in small gestures—maybe he tries a little harder to be around you, offering to help more than usual, or seeking out moments to talk to you one-on-one. His jealousy isn’t destructive, but it is something he struggles with internally.

He’ll often reassure himself by thinking about how important your happiness is to him, but those feelings of inadequacy sometimes bubble up, especially when you laugh or smile at something another guy says. Izuku’s jealousy makes him push even harder to be the hero you deserve, hoping that his actions will show you how much he cares, but he may never directly admit it to you.

Katsuki Bakugo – The Fierce Rival Burning with Jealousy

Katsuki Bakugo, fiercely competitive and protective, has a prideful personality that doesn’t take well to the idea of someone else vying for your attention. When he notices you chatting with another guy, his jealousy quickly flares, burning hot like his explosions. He doesn’t hesitate to show his frustration, whether it's through a sharp remark, an angry glare, or a sudden challenge. His fiery personality makes it clear that he feels threatened, though he would never outright admit it.

Bakugo’s jealousy is aggressive, and he may try to “outdo” the guy you’re talking to, whether it’s through his strength, his skills, or his fiery attitude. He might get sarcastic, saying something like, “Don’t think you’re better than me just because you can talk to her!” His jealousy may also come out in his behavior toward you—he’ll act gruff, trying to reclaim your attention by acting tougher or more assertive.

Despite his outbursts, Bakugo does care deeply for you, and his jealousy stems from his fear of not being good enough or losing you. While he might never admit it, he just wants to be the one who’s always there for you.

Shoto Todoroki – The Quiet Storm of Insecurity

Shoto Todoroki is typically calm and collected, but underneath his composed exterior, there’s a subtle storm of jealousy that emerges when he sees you talking to another guy. He doesn’t show it outright, but there’s an internal battle raging inside him. His jealousy manifests in silence—he watches quietly, perhaps a little too long, wondering if he’s losing his place in your heart.

Shoto’s jealousy is tied to his insecurities and his desire to be someone who can support you as you deserve. While he won’t lash out or confront the guy, he may become more withdrawn, suddenly unsure of how to approach you. It’s not about mistrusting you—it’s about his fear that someone else might be able to make you smile in ways he hasn’t.

He might try to get closer to you, subtly looking for moments where he can prove he’s just as capable of making you happy, but he’ll always do so quietly, never wanting to seem needy or desperate. His jealousy eats at him in a way that’s more self-reflective than confrontational, and in the quiet moments, he’ll wonder if he’s truly good enough for you.

Hitoshi Shinso – The Quiet Struggler with Unseen Jealousy

Hitoshi Shinso often feels like he’s overlooked, and his jealousy emerges quietly when he sees you talking to another guy. Despite his intelligence and talents, Shinso often feels like he’s constantly fighting to be noticed, and when you engage with someone else, it stirs up those insecurities. Unlike Bakugo’s explosive jealousy or Shoto’s internalized struggle, Shinso’s jealousy is born from his desire for validation.

He might retreat into himself, trying not to show his feelings, but deep down, he can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy, wondering if the guy you’re talking to is somehow more charming or better suited for you than he is. He doesn’t lash out or make a scene; instead, he’ll withdraw, perhaps becoming quieter or more distant.

When you do finally pay attention to him again, he might try harder to prove his worth, seeking your approval through small acts or offering you his own kind of attention. His jealousy is about proving that he’s just as capable of making you happy, though he’ll likely keep it hidden, not wanting to seem desperate for your affection.

Shota Aizawa – The Reserved Mentor with Quiet Jealousy

Aizawa is usually reserved and pragmatic, focused on his students’ growth, but he’s not immune to feelings of jealousy—especially when it comes to someone else getting your attention. Aizawa’s jealousy is quiet and restrained, but it still stirs beneath the surface. When he sees you talking to another guy, he might feel a subtle pang of jealousy, mostly stemming from his own insecurities.

Aizawa isn’t one to express his feelings outwardly, so his jealousy doesn’t manifest in anger or confrontations. Instead, it shows in the way he watches, quietly reflecting on whether he’s been too distant or if he’s been taking you for granted. His jealousy is less about the guy you’re talking to and more about wondering if he’s been fulfilling his role as your protector or confidant.

In the rare moments when he’s alone with you, Aizawa may subtly try to reclaim your attention, offering words of support or even showing his softer side. His jealousy isn’t about competition; it’s about his deep, quiet concern that someone might be getting closer to you in a way he hasn’t been able to.

Tamaki Amajiki – Shy, Self-Conscious, and Struggling with Insecurity

Tamaki Amajiki is a character deeply marked by insecurity and self-doubt. His jealousy, unlike others who might react more outwardly, tends to manifest in a more internal, withdrawn way. His lack of self-esteem makes him prone to feeling inferior or inadequate, especially when he perceives someone else as being closer to you than he is. Tamaki is not one to express his jealousy openly, but his feelings of hurt and possessiveness are still very strong.

When he feels jealous, he doesn’t immediately lash out or make a scene. Instead, his body language becomes more closed off and tense. You might notice that Tamaki starts to withdraw from you, avoiding eye contact and shrinking into himself whenever the person he’s jealous of is near. His usually gentle and shy demeanor might become even more reserved, as if he’s trying to shrink into the background to avoid confronting his feelings.

In a situation where someone else is getting your attention, Tamaki will often find it difficult to express his discomfort. His heart will race, and he’ll feel a knot tighten in his stomach, but he won’t know how to verbalize it. He might start muttering to himself or speaking nervously, unsure of how to handle the jealousy bubbling up inside him.

If the other person’s attention on you becomes too much for Tamaki to handle, his self-consciousness will only intensify. He might start fidgeting with his hands or tapping his fingers nervously, trying to distract himself from the uncomfortable feelings. He will feel his insecurity growing, and he may even question whether he is worthy of your attention or love. “They’re so much better than me, aren’t they?” he might ask quietly, either to himself or to you, unable to stop the spiraling thoughts.

In these moments, he’s not likely to voice his jealousy outright, but his actions will betray his inner turmoil. He might distance himself emotionally or even physically, stepping back from you in a way that signals he’s hurting, but doesn’t know how to deal with it. He may also try to act distant, pretending that he’s not bothered, even though it’s clear that he is.

If you confront him directly, Tamaki will likely be flustered and avoid eye contact, his face flushed with embarrassment. “I’m not… I’m not mad or anything,” he’ll stammer, his voice wavering. But there will be a vulnerability in his eyes that’s hard to ignore. He’s not angry; he’s just scared—scared that you’ll prefer someone else, scared that he’s not enough.

If you reassure him, Tamaki will probably apologize repeatedly for feeling this way. “I don’t want to be like this… I just… I can’t help it,” he might say, feeling deeply ashamed of his jealousy. His insecurity runs deep, and he will often feel as though he’s a burden to those around him, so the idea of you paying attention to someone else only exacerbates those feelings.

In moments where the jealousy becomes too overwhelming, Tamaki might unintentionally retreat into his self-doubt. He could start avoiding interactions, giving you space out of fear that his jealousy will push you away. He might say something like, “You don’t need me around… I’m not important,” not because he wants you to leave, but because he fears losing you to someone he believes is better.

If the jealousy continues to simmer, Tamaki will likely need reassurance and gentle affection to help him regain his sense of worth. You might find him asking for your attention in a way that feels almost apologetic, like he’s not sure if he deserves it. “I don’t want to be selfish… but… could you stay with me for a while?” he might ask softly, his voice full of vulnerability.

Once his jealousy is acknowledged and addressed, Tamaki will quickly revert back to his shy and kind self, but the insecurity will always be there, lurking in the background. His jealousy stems from his deep desire to feel loved and accepted, but also from his own feelings of inadequacy. To him, being jealous means feeling like he's losing something precious—your affection and your attention—and that fear often drives his more withdrawn, uncertain behavior.

Mirio Togata – Cheerful, Confident, but Struggling with Hidden Insecurity

Mirio Togata, known for his boundless optimism and unwavering confidence, is often the last person you'd expect to experience jealousy. His carefree and upbeat nature is contagious, and he's usually the one who encourages others to believe in themselves. However, despite his positive exterior, Mirio is not immune to feeling jealousy—especially when it comes to something or someone he values deeply, like a close friendship or his relationship with you.

Unlike characters who wear their jealousy on their sleeves, Mirio tends to internalize his feelings, often masking them behind his usual bright smile. When he experiences jealousy, he doesn’t lash out or become overly possessive, but there are subtle signs that something is amiss. He might try to distract himself with humor or jokes, trying to downplay the feeling or make light of the situation to avoid showing his discomfort. “Guess I’ll just have to keep up with you, huh?” he might say in a teasing tone, even though deep down, his pride is hurt.

Mirio’s jealousy tends to arise when he feels like he’s losing something important to someone else—whether that’s your attention, affection, or praise. If he notices someone else getting closer to you, his first instinct will be to smile and act like it doesn’t bother him. But there’s a quiet undercurrent of unease that he tries to suppress, especially if that other person is someone he feels is more deserving of your time or admiration.

Internally, Mirio might think, “What if they’re better than me?” or “What if they make you happy in ways I can’t?” These thoughts don’t come easily to someone as confident as him, and that’s what makes them all the more difficult for him to process. His own insecurities rarely see the light of day, but in moments like this, they start to surface. He may feel like he has to work harder to keep your attention, and his usual easygoing demeanor might become strained.

In more intimate or private moments, when his guard is down, Mirio might express his jealousy more directly. If you’re spending time with someone else or praising them, Mirio might tease, “Don’t forget about me, okay? I might be the one who can keep up with you the best.” This playful comment, though seemingly lighthearted, can reveal the underlying insecurity that he doesn’t usually show. He might also try to show off or do something impressive to grab your attention, not because he wants to one-up others, but because he’s afraid of being overshadowed.

Despite his feelings of jealousy, Mirio would never want to make you feel guilty or obligated to choose between him and someone else. He’s too kindhearted and selfless to put that kind of pressure on you. Instead, he might suppress his emotions and try to act as though everything is fine, even if it's not. His jealousy might manifest in him being a little quieter than usual or a bit more distant. He might withdraw for a while to work through his feelings on his own, hoping that they’ll pass with time.

If you notice and confront him, Mirio might try to brush it off with a smile, saying, “I’m just being dumb, don’t mind me.” But behind that smile, he’s feeling vulnerable. He doesn’t want to admit that he’s jealous, because he sees it as a weakness. “I don’t want to seem selfish or needy. You don’t have to worry about me,” he might add, downplaying the seriousness of his feelings.

However, Mirio’s jealousy is not something that will fester for long. After a heart-to-heart or some reassurance from you, he’ll quickly return to his usual positive and upbeat self. His desire to support you and be a reliable friend will override any lingering feelings of jealousy. “You know I’ve got your back no matter what, right? I’m always here for you,” he’ll say with his signature grin, even if the feelings of jealousy haven’t completely disappeared.

In the end, Mirio’s jealousy stems from a deep love and care for you. He’s afraid of losing the bond you share with him, and he worries that someone else might be able to offer you something he can’t. But his immense respect for you and his desire to make sure you’re happy will always push him to work through those feelings. With patience and understanding, Mirio will find a way to overcome his jealousy, using it as an opportunity to grow stronger and deepen his bond with you.

Denki Kaminari – Playful, but Heartfelt

Denki’s jealousy is a bit more lighthearted, but it still comes with a genuine undercurrent of insecurity. As the more laid-back and goofy member of Class 1-A, Denki tends to brush off things with humor, but when he sees someone getting too close to you, his playful nature gives way to his vulnerability.

He’ll try to make a joke about it at first, a nervous laugh escaping his lips as he says something like, “So, what? You just leave me for the other cool guy in the room?” He’ll try to smile, but the slight tension in his body language will reveal he’s trying to hide his discomfort.

When the other person doesn't back off or seems too engaged with you, Denki’s jealousy starts to show more clearly. He might suddenly interrupt the conversation with a joke or a playful remark, like, “Hey, you forgot your electric personality here, didn’t you?” His charm can’t mask the little bit of hurt in his eyes when he sees you giving attention to someone else.

If the person still doesn’t catch on, Denki might become a bit more dramatic, sulking just enough to make you notice. “I’m like, super fun, right? We could totally hang out! You know, before you go off with Mr. Cool over there.” He’ll pout for a moment, then try to shrug it off, but he can’t hide his feelings forever.

When you give him attention, he’ll be full of energy again, but there’s still a lingering hint of insecurity. “You know I’m your real best friend, right? I can keep up with all your awesome stuff,” he’ll say, trying to mask his feelings with a grin, but there’s a slight tenderness to his tone as he leans in for a side hug, clearly wanting to make sure that you’re his, even if he jokes about it.

Fumikage Tokoyami – Quietly Intense and Protective

Tokoyami is typically a stoic character, but underneath that calm, collected exterior, his feelings run deep. His jealousy isn’t loud or obvious—it’s more like the shadows he’s so attuned to, quiet but ever-present. He’ll keep his distance at first, silently observing as you laugh or chat with someone else, the weight of his jealousy creeping in as he watches you interact with them.

Tokoyami isn’t one to be overly dramatic, but he can become noticeably withdrawn. He’ll avert his gaze, choosing instead to focus on something else, though his sharp eyes are still keenly aware of the situation. You’ll notice his posture change, his usual stance becoming more rigid, his hands tense at his sides.

If the person doesn’t back off or doesn’t get the hint, Tokoyami will quietly intervene, perhaps by stepping between you and the other person without a word, his movements subtle but intentional. It’s not so much a direct confrontation as it is a shift in the atmosphere. The air grows heavier, and the other person will likely feel the change, sensing that Tokoyami doesn’t approve.

Once alone with you, Tokoyami’s protective instincts will come out more, though he won’t admit his jealousy outright. “I do not like when others get too close,” he might say in his low, calm voice, his eyes scanning yours for any sign of understanding. His words are careful, controlled, yet there’s a quiet, earnest truth behind them.

“I’m not fond of competition, you know,” he’ll add, a slight smirk tugging at his lips, though it’s not his usual grin. It’s a bit darker, more sincere.

If you offer reassurance, Tokoyami will soften, his stoic nature not quite able to fully hide his affection for you. He’ll take your words to heart, his pride keeping him from showing how much he values you, but there’s a faint glimmer of relief in his eyes.

Hanta Sero – Sarcastically Sweet and Subtly Possessive

Sero has a laid-back, easygoing personality, often the one cracking jokes and keeping things light. But when jealousy strikes, his usual relaxed vibe can slip, replaced by a more sarcastic, possessive edge. He’ll try to cover up his discomfort by making light of the situation, but it’s clear he doesn’t like seeing you give attention to someone else.

At first, Sero will throw in a teasing remark, like, “Oh, look at that. I guess I’m just not cool enough for you anymore, huh?” He’ll say it with a grin, but there’s an obvious bite to his words as he crosses his arms, watching the situation unfold with narrowed eyes. His jealousy isn’t explosive, but it’s definitely there, and it lingers like a low hum in the background.

If the person doesn’t take the hint or doesn’t seem to back off, Sero might get more direct, though still in a playful, slightly sarcastic manner. “Well, if I’m not enough for you, I guess I’ll just… go find someone who actually appreciates me,” he’ll say, though he’s clearly not going anywhere. His eyes are locked on you, a mix of irritation and longing. He’s not looking for someone else—he’s just making sure you know that he’s hurt.

Sero is rarely confrontational, so if the person still doesn’t pick up on his signals, he’ll probably just take matters into his own hands. He might casually put his arm around your shoulders or pull you close, making sure everyone knows that you’re already taken. “You’ve got everything you need right here, right?” he’ll ask, his voice light but with an undeniable possessiveness that he tries to mask with humor.

Later, when it’s just the two of you, Sero might seem unusually quiet. He’ll give you a cheeky grin and say something like, “Not gonna let anyone else steal you away from me, am I?” But if you catch him off guard, his true feelings will shine through. There’s a moment of vulnerability, and you might notice how much he values your attention, despite the playful banter.

“You’re mine,” he’ll say with a wink, but it’s softer than usual, showing how deeply he feels about you, even though he hides it behind humor.

Tomura Shigaraki – A Jealous Tyrant

Shigaraki doesn’t do "jealous" in the typical sense—he’s too ruthless, too controlling for that. But there’s one thing he can’t tolerate: someone else getting too close to you.

When it happens, there’s a dangerous shift in the air. The usual chaos around him seems to fade as his eyes lock onto the offending person. His fingers twitch, almost as though they’re itching for destruction.

When he notices you laughing or chatting with someone else, a dark sneer creeps across his face. “Don’t get too friendly,” he mutters to himself.

Shigaraki doesn’t intervene immediately—he enjoys watching the guy squirm, sensing the discomfort in the atmosphere that he’s creating. But when the person gets just a bit too bold, Shigaraki’s voice will break through with an icy, almost menacing tone: “You’ve had your fun. Now step off.”

He’ll slowly approach, a dangerous air around him, his fingers curling as if he’s imagining disintegrating them with a simple gesture. The other person, sensing the shift, will back away, unable to ignore the growing dread of Shigaraki’s presence.

Once alone with you, his demeanor shifts. He doesn’t ask for reassurances or beg for affection like the others. Instead, he’ll just stare at you, his eyes hard and calculating. “Don’t ever forget who you belong to,” he’ll mutter, not looking for an answer. Just a simple reminder.

If you’re the one to comfort him, however, Shigaraki’s face might soften for a brief moment—just enough for you to see the raw vulnerability beneath his villainous mask.

Dabi – Cold, Sarcastic Possession

Dabi’s jealousy is laced with sarcasm, anger, and a streak of possessiveness that he tries to keep hidden behind layers of cynicism. He doesn’t care—he doesn’t need to care—but when he sees someone else eyeing you, something about it grates on his nerves.

He’ll pretend not to care, leaning back and watching the situation unfold with a smirk on his face, but his eyes will betray him. Every flirtatious gesture or laugh you share with another person will make his smirk falter slightly, his cold blue eyes narrowing just enough to be noticeable.

If things escalate, you’ll catch him making a passive-aggressive remark, like, “I didn’t know you were so into annoying people,” or, “You sure you’re not just using me as a distraction?” His voice will be dripping with sarcasm, though the words are tinged with a sharp undercurrent of irritation.

When the guy doesn’t back off immediately, Dabi will growl, a flame flickering at his fingertips as he takes a slow step toward you. The temperature in the room rises, and the conversation quickly dies down.

"Back off," Dabi warns, his voice low and rough, his hands flicking open to release a burst of blue fire that just barely misses the person’s feet. They’ll stammer out an apology and leave in a hurry.

Later, when you’re alone with him, Dabi won’t directly address his jealousy. Instead, he’ll wrap his arm around your shoulders and pull you in close, mumbling, “Don’t need anyone else to keep you company, got me.”

His possessiveness is wrapped in a cloak of indifference, but his actions are clear: you’re his, and no one else gets to encroach on that territory.

Toga Himiko – Wildly Intense and Over-the-Top

Toga’s jealousy is explosive, and she doesn’t hide it in the least. She can go from adorably sweet to downright terrifying in a matter of seconds when she feels like someone’s getting too close to you.

Her jealousy is deeply tied to her obsessive nature—Toga doesn’t just like you; she wants everything about you. When she sees someone else flirting with you or making you laugh, she gets antsy, pacing around and clenching her fists. She’ll try to mask it with a bright, manic smile, but it’s obvious to anyone who knows her that her patience is wearing thin.

“Why is everyone always so interested in you?” she’ll huff, watching from the sidelines, her voice filled with faux cheer as she watches the situation unfold.

If the person doesn’t take the hint, Toga will casually stroll over, her movements erratic but playful. She’ll flash a bright, almost sickeningly sweet smile at them before jumping into the conversation, wrapping her arms around you from behind and practically smothering you with affection.

“Hey, babe, guess what? I found something super cool today!” she’ll exclaim, nuzzling her face into your neck in a possessive manner.

If the person still doesn’t back off, Toga’s demeanor shifts immediately. She’ll growl low in her throat, her playful exterior vanishing as she steps forward with a dangerous look in her eyes. “You’re mine,” she’ll say, almost in a whisper, her grip on you tightening. The person won’t need any more encouragement to retreat.

Later, when it’s just the two of you, Toga will seem strangely calm, but there’s a feral edge to her voice. “No one else is allowed to have you, Y/N. You’re mine, forever. Got it?” she’ll ask, her eyes wild, though there’s a tenderness in the way she pulls you close.

Twice – Self-Doubt and Dramatic Overreaction

Twice’s jealousy is a chaotic mess of emotions, partly because of his overwhelming self-doubt and partly because of his deep attachment to you. When someone else makes a move on you or gets too close, his reaction isn’t subtle in the slightest.

First, he’ll freeze, his mind racing. What if they like you more than I do? What if they can give you something I can’t? He’ll try to shake off these thoughts, but his body language gives him away. His eyes widen in panic, his hand gripping his mask as if that could shield him from the feeling of insecurity creeping in.

“Why are you talking to them? What’s so great about them?” he’ll blurt out, his voice high-pitched, almost a whine, as he steps in front of you, blocking the person’s view.

If the person doesn’t immediately back off, Twice will become more dramatic. He’ll practically throw himself in front of you, saying, “I’m way more fun! Come on, let’s go, I’ll show you!” His usual bubbly personality comes out, but the cracks are visible as he’s clearly trying to hide his anxiety.

Once the person leaves, Twice will start apologizing profusely. “I didn’t mean to be like that! I just… I just love you so much! I don’t want anyone else to take you away!” His eyes will be wide, filled with worry as he tries to cover up his emotional outburst.

“You’re mine, right? You won’t leave me, right?” he’ll ask quietly, his voice small and fragile, as he clings to you, needing reassurance.

Despite his chaotic response, his love for you is sincere, and in his own way, he just wants to feel like he’s enough.

Mr. Compress – Cool, Calculated, and Still Possessive

Mr. Compress is normally a smooth talker, calm and collected. But when someone else starts paying a little too much attention to you, his composure starts to slip, just a little.

His jealousy is subtle, a controlled burn that grows over time. He’ll maintain his charm, but there’s a glint in his eyes when he sees someone else laughing with you or standing too close. A brief flick of his hand, a flicker of irritation in his eyes.

He might step in casually, as if it’s no big deal, and say, “Well, well, seems like you two are getting along pretty well,” with a sly smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. He might make a playful comment, but it’s obvious he’s subtly marking his territory.

If the person doesn’t take the hint, he’ll take a more direct approach. Mr. Compress will make a swift move, pulling you into his side with an easy, practiced motion, his arm wrapping around you possessively. “You’re with me, darling,” he’ll say smoothly, his voice rich with authority.

Later, in private, Mr. Compress will keep up the cool exterior, but the subtle tension in his gaze will tell you he’s still processing. “You wouldn’t leave me for some foolish, naive fool, would you?” he’ll ask softly, a vulnerable edge in his voice, the only time you’ll see his cool façade crack.

Kai Chisaki (Overhaul) – Cold, Calculating, and Controlling

Kai Chisaki is a deeply calculating and meticulous character. He doesn’t deal with jealousy in the same way as the more emotionally expressive characters like Denki or Sero. His jealousy is a reflection of his obsessive need for control and his possessive nature over the things (and people) he values. For Chisaki, jealousy doesn’t manifest in dramatic outbursts—it’s a quiet, simmering resentment that builds over time.

At first, Chisaki would keep his feelings of jealousy hidden. He might observe from the sidelines, his sharp eyes watching every interaction between you and the other person with a cold, impassive expression. His mind, always working, would start calculating the ways in which the situation threatens his control over you. He would find your attention toward someone else as a sign of his failing influence, which would unsettle him greatly.

You might notice a subtle shift in his behavior. He won’t snap at the other person right away, but there will be a coldness in his demeanor whenever they are around. His gaze will harden, his voice might take on an edge when he speaks, and his usual calm, authoritative tone will carry a quiet, chilling tension.

If the other person gets too close to you, Chisaki will likely intervene in a subtle but forceful way. His sense of control doesn’t allow him to simply let things slide. He might make a remark to the other person, a sharp, pointed comment designed to drive them away. “You seem to misunderstand your place,” he might say coldly, his voice like ice as he makes his position known.

He’ll approach you with the same controlled manner he always has, but now there’s an extra weight to his words. “I don’t like seeing you with others,” he’ll say, his voice low and steady, though there’s an unmistakable possessiveness in his tone. His hand might rest on your shoulder or arm, a silent but firm way of claiming you, as if to say, you belong to me—and he’s not going to let anyone forget that.

If you try to shrug him off or ignore his behavior, Chisaki’s jealousy becomes more palpable, though he will never lose his composure. His frustration will be masked behind his stoic, almost emotionless expression, but his actions will become more controlling. He might give you less freedom or impose more of his will, showing his growing need to have you solely under his influence.

“I don’t like sharing what’s mine,” he’ll say with an unsettling calmness, a rare glimpse into his possessive nature. He may even try to isolate you from others, not because he can’t trust you, but because he can’t trust anyone else to have a place in your life.

When you’re alone together, Chisaki will be more direct, though still reserved. His voice will be low and calm, but there’s an intensity in his eyes that can’t be ignored. “You are mine, and I will not let anyone take you from me,” he’ll say, his words carrying a sense of finality. There’s no room for negotiation in his mind—his jealousy is tied to his obsessive need to keep you under his control.

Chisaki’s jealousy doesn’t erupt into fits of rage, nor does he show insecurity in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s a cold, calculated response that stems from his obsessive nature and his fear of losing control. If anyone dares to threaten his position, he will ensure that they learn their place—whether it’s through words, actions, or manipulation.

If you reassure him, it might ease his jealousy for the moment, but he will always be on guard, silently keeping track of everyone around you. “You’re mine. Don’t forget that,” he’ll say with an air of finality, his cold, calculating eyes locking onto yours, ensuring you understand the weight of his words.

[statementlou]

i’m sorry to bring this up again, but i wanted to ask how are you making sense of harry having his former girlfriend’s name tattooed on his thigh if you don’t think they were really together? i’m not a larrie and i follow you for your louis content, but i respect your opinions, so i guess i’m coming more from a place of curiosity rather than seeking reassurance. do you not even entertain for one second the idea that you might’ve been wrong about things? that harry was really in a relationship with olivia? that he might actually be attracted to women? that he might’ve been with louis once upon a time but not anymore? have you ever challenged your confirmation bias? again, i’m not trying to attack you, i really just want to understand where you stand. i hope u don’t take this the wrong way.

well first of all you bring up the very good point that there are actually multiple Qs at play and not just one, despite the fandom's (and my) attempts to simplify things. I personally am open to the possibility that Harry and Louis are no longer together- we don't have enough info to say for sure either way about that, and I am constantly recalibrating and considering and I'm going to be totally honest, getting flat out ANNOYED at how often I find myself being like oh damn they ARE still (or again) together ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Because it seems so improbable and illogical! You think I don't KNOW I sound fucking crazy?! Absolutely infuriating, and yet there are just all these little Things all the time. Plus ofc the fact that they both constantly wink wink larrie stuff to the fandom which could just be playing to the crowd... except then they both continually take it that little extra way that makes me go oh but... you really didn't NEED to go THERE that seems VERY pointed?? But also sometimes I go well. Okay, maybe not. Since they both seem super happy at this point, it doesn't stress me out to think they might have split, the way it would if they seemed miserable and were still churning out heartbreak songs, but it's schrodingers relationship and with all the savvy they've acquired around this stuff and all the balls they're keeping in the air wrt to fandom etc that's unlikely to change in favor of us knowing anything for sure for a very long time, if ever. But I do not doubt that they WERE together, it's simply not realistic. The evidence of it is overwhelming and imo undeniable when taken all together. And the thing is that knowing one thing with certainty (that they were together back when), having really looked at the things that happened during that time, does actually have a lot of bearing on the rest of it even if they aren't together anymore. Because knowing that and having seen the way fake relationships to make them seem straight were managed back then means that when I see the EXACT SAME things being done in the current day, like they are working from a fucking blueprint, no, I don't look at that and think it might be real. I know that Louis and Eleanor wasn't real in... whenever they allegedly got together lol, that story still isn't even quite straight, so why would I believe they were together in 2020? And if I know Louis has a tattoo for a fake girlfriend why would it change my mind about a million things I can see with my own eyes if Harry did the same (if indeed he even has who tf knows)? So despite what I said at the beginning, in the end it kind of does just come down to the one question people are always asking, are you a larrie? Because when you've actually been down the rabbit hole of details that ends up with you saying yes to that question, it's like acquiring a rosetta stone that unlocks the ability to read everything else, like putting on xray glasses, and I look at what is so obviously a publicity relationship (holivia) and whether H and L are still together has nothing to do with why I don't think it's real. Like could a celeb relationship be both used in typical ways for publicity and be or become real on some level (looking at you Liam, heyyy), sure, but for this question the fact that I have never seen Harry show the slightest sign of attraction to a woman in his whole life and he so clearly embraces and identifies so strongly with gay male culture in every possible way and never shuts up about how much he loves cock does play into my thinking; I simply do not think he is attracted to women, no, and I have yet to see him do anything that doesn't seem consistent with things a closeted pop star might chose to do. So in conclusion yes I have challenged my bias and decided I'm right lol! But for real- all the time I consider that they perhaps aren't together but that isn't really the point when it comes to believing they are gay.

Hey it's me with Midlink for the ask game hehe. Surprise surprise

1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 20? Please PLEASE feel free to skip some if you want, I know it's overkill and I'm not even sure if we did this ask game already oops

No need to apologize, I like getting long asks like this. Especially because I have a lot of feelings about these two.

1. I'm pretty sure that I started shipping them even before I started actually playing the Twilight Princess, which was probably around 2011 or 2012. Time sure flies.

2. I love a lot about both of them, but if I had to say just one thing, it's that they're both genuinely good people. It's more obvious with Twi, but you can see it with Midna as well. Sure, she may initially come off as snide or even cruel, it becomes clear over time that this attitude is just a mask, and one that hides a heart purer than gold.

3. I find it really interesting that despite them being so different (literally from different worlds), they still get along so well and care about each other so much.

7. They try to have an even split in their work and chores, ranging from keeping their homes organized to ruling over the two realms. Although they may pretend to complain about their assigned workload being too much, they're fine with what they're given.

11. Given everything that happened both before and during their travels together, Twi and Midna very frequently seek comfort from each other. When this happens, they will hold each other close, often in a way where one can hear the other's heartbeat, and will give plenty of soft kisses and reassuring whispers.

12. Honestly, nothing comes to mind that I don't like about this pairing. They're generally perfect for each other.

15. There was most definitely a bit of hesitancy from people close to them (from both sides). However, people are usually a lot more accepting of their relationship after hearing about what they've been through together. And by the time their first son was born, the animosity had all but faded.

17. I don't think there's a single part of Midna's appearance that Twi wouldn't love, even in her imp form. Her hair is beautiful, her chubby belly is adorable, and her smile warms his heart. Not to mention that he also likes her hips and thighs. If he had to pick a favorite physical trait, he'd probably say her chest. Partly because of the obvious, but also because that's where her heart is.

As for Midna, she loves both of Twi's forms. But her favorite thing about them is one thing that remains the same between them: his eyes. Partly because she'd never seen blue eyes before, but also because when she looks into his eyes, she can see exactly what he's feeling. And most of the time when she does, she sees nothing but pure love.

19. Twi is especially sensitive to scritches and tickling around his abdomen, behind his ears and below his chin. He only really got these after he got the ability to turn into a wolf, and still has these sensitivities in his human form.

Midna, meanwhile, is very sensitive around her belly. But on a bit of a darker note, ever since the confrontation with Zant at the spirit spring, having her hair grabbed and pulled back will make her panic.

20. Despite what one may initially think, Midna is usually the more submissive partner. She has no issue in taking a more dominant role, but she's typically more than happy to let Twi take the reins, so to speak. And Twi is always happy to please her, even if he does have to be a bit careful at times due to the size difference.

I’ve been wondering for the longest time why we don’t all ignore bbg also. It would be best for everyone in this scenario so I really like that suggestion of yours. Anons run to blogs right away gossiping about it like it’s news worthy every single time, which just feeds into this cycle. We all know we’ll keep getting pictures/videos of F and gifts for him. I still don’t get why people following the sisters or F’s real parents on social media to get these pictures either. Because many times that’s where these things come from. When he gets things on stage often we don’t know it’s for F til someone (usually that dreadful UA) posts it. And then of course it spreads. At least by ignoring this, it creates less conflict in the fandom and does the opposite of their goal. It will end when it ends and we have zero control over it anyway so why act surprised each time something happens. We don’t know all the behind the scenes intricacies of bbg and I can’t even guess how it’s all handled. But, If we as fans are tired of it, imagine how H & L feel. L barely acknowledged it yesterday. He looked just happy to kick the one ball around, that was for him specifically.

Hi, anon!

I think ignoring it is a good idea, i'm happy to, but some of my anons deals better with it if they're allowed to vent and talk about their frustrations. Some anons, mostly newer fans are also more insecure about it and seek validation or reassurance. I don't want to leave them hanging. Ignoring it works for some and not for others. It's hard to know what asks i should answer or not to not give attention to something that shouldn't get attention, while also trying to assure my anons.

I do agree that running to blogs with gossip feeds the cycle, so i think the things we can expect by now like Daisy posting F and L getting gifts for F is something we can ignore from now on. There is a pattern too it and it's old news.

TW for mentioning sexual assault and stalking. Seeking advice and reassurance. You can tag me as Gen.

I used to participate in an expensive hobby that helped me meet lots of people at the time. I stopped in 2019 and don't stay in touch with anyone I used to know back then. I have some awesome memories related to the hobby but also some terrible ones and the main reason I stopped was because of stalking. The people who have sexually assaulted me were ones who I met through the hobby. And unfortunately, reporting the incidents didn't grant me any protection.

I have been thinking about it again and wondering if I should sell the things I have related to the hobby since like I said it was an expensive one. But sometimes I wonder if I'll get back into again and then feel sad about having sold my stuff. I've taken breaks from the hobby before back when I was still a student and was too busy with school sometimes but always got back into doing it. I also regret having participated in the hobby sometimes because of all the time and money I wasted, plus the stalkers and abusers I met. There are some things I can never get back. I had to stop using my old phone number, social media accounts, etc. and I don't have any friends irl anymore. Even if I sell my items that doesn't make up for money I wasted on other things related to the hobby like travel expenses and hotels. And I can't un-traumatize myself or un-meet the crappy people I met.

I also feel like maybe I'm getting too old for the hobby because it seems like it's mostly popular with younger people (I myself started at around 12) and I'm in my 30s now. It's not a matter of "Do what you love at whatever age you want and don't care about being judged" but more just the fact that a crowd where the majority of people are kids half my age and younger means it's extremely hard to find people my age to meet and become friends with. So I've been considering moving on but I have a lot of mixed feelings since like I said I've never quit before, just taken breaks, but since it's been 5 years maybe this time it can be permanent. What things should I consider and what advice do you have?

Hi Gen,

I won't tell you what to do but I can help describe your options and hopefully that can clarify the decision you want to make.

If you choose to stop participating in this hobby, you may get a decent amount of money in selling your hobby-related belongings. You might feel a sense of closure in no longer being exposed to triggers as often and might feel as though you've closed a difficult chapter. You won't have to deal with the awkwardness of the age differences in those who partake in this hobby. You might also be saving a decent amount of money that would've otherwise been spent on travel and lodging. However, you may feel a sense of longing for the positive aspects of this hobby, although this could be an urge you could substitute for a new hobby. You're right that you can't change the past, but you can write your future.

If you continue with this hobby, you might continue to have a complicated relationship with it, both in terms of the age differences of you versus the majority of those who engage in this hobby, and in terms of frequently encountering triggers. You may become compelled to spend more money traveling and staying in hotels, or perhaps even buy whatever newest equipment comes along with this hobby, which isn't financially wise. You may also have fear when interacting with others.

The choice is ultimately yours to make. I hope I could help and please let us know if you need anything.

ASSE - Olympique Lyonnais OLPlay Postgame Interviews

To the person who is going around on the LChat insisting that I post there to the point I AM GETTING ASKS ABOUT IT: get off my dick and GO FUCK YOURSELF. I have never and will never post on that godforsaken website. It pisses me off so much that it got to the point where I am getting people messaging me about it. What the actual FUCK is wrong with you you paranoid schizophrenic freak???? What kind of obsessive spiral are you on????? Seek medical help ASAP and leave me both the hell alone and the hell out of your deep and sincere mental trauma.

With that being said, here are the postgame interviews. Idk why I am translating this if some deranged lunatic who is in desperate need of being locked up will just accuse me of posting on that fucking awful website. If their intention is to stop the translations then they are definitely on their way to succeeding.

Standard disclaimers apply.

ASSE - OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS OLPLAY POSTGAME INTERVIEWS

ALICE SOMBATH OLPLAY POSTGAME INTERVIEW

Journalist: It's good, you're smiling. The defensive line scored: Griedge [MBock], Wendie [Renard] for example. That must be reassuring for the upcoming clash [against PSG].

Sombath: Yeah, it's always reassuring to know that any player can score, especially the defenders. So we hope to have more players in defense who can score [@ Carpenter]. So we'll continue like that.

Journalist: Last question. PSG is next week. Does this game serve a little bit as preparation?

Sombath: In any case, every game that we have done are always good in terms of preparation, especially for games like the semifinal against Paris [Saint-Germain]. Then as I said, we will continue to prepare in the upcoming days so we will be properly prepared for that game.

Journalist: Thank you, Alice. Have a good evening.

Sombath: Have a good evening.

VICKI BECHO OLPLAY POSTGAME INTERVIEW

Journalist: Vicki, first of all congratulations on your hat trick. The team took this game seriously tonight. It's always important to win these derbies.

Becho: Yeah, honestly, for me it's my first derby. It was important for us to play a complete game, that we score, that we find our rhythm again because after returning from the international break it's never easy. But we did it tonight and I'm happy for the team.

Journalist: And what a game from you tonight. You played an incredible game and you scored three goals. Tell me a little about how you experienced this derby. I believe it was your first one, in the big stadium no less.

Becho: That's right, my first derby and honestly, yeah, I didn't think too much. I'm feeling good at the moment. So yeah you have to continue like that. When you're full of confidence it's a lot easier. When you take a shot, it goes in. You're more successful. So yeah, I'm really happy with my performances at the moment. And the most important thing is to continue like that.

Journalist: The young one is full of humility. [This was not said sarcastically] And one last question. Before the game against PSG, well you're scoring a lot of goals. I imagine that's important for your confidence.

Becho: Of course, it's important for my confidence. Today there were quite a few players who scored. So we're happy. Also we created a lot, we had two or three penalties. So those are things to keep in mind and we'll continue like that. We'll take away what we did good, what we can improve on so we can properly prepare for the game against Paris Saint-Germain.

Journalist: And for you, what was good and what can still be improved on? Last question, this time I mean it.

Becho: I think we created a lot of opportunities, really quite a few chances. After, we weren't often put under pressure but the only time when we were put under pressure, there was some confusion and we conceded a goal. So we need to fix those things and yeah. We need to continue like that. We have to create chances, we have to create chances. There were a lot of chances, so there were a lot of goals.

Journalist: You're leaving with the game ball I hope.

Becho: Yeah, that's it. We had to negotiate a little with the referees but I am leaving with the game ball.

Journalist: Have a good evening.

Becho: Thank you, you too,

SONIA BOMPASTOR OLPLAY POSTGAME INTERVIEW

[Bompastor sounds super sick in this interview]

Journalist: Sonia, a serious game from your team this evening. It's always important to win these derbies.

Bompastor: Yes, yes, we wanted to continue our good streak in the league even if the first place is guaranteed. We wanted to use this game as a good preparation game ahead of the upcoming matches. There's a big clash as soon as next week where we are playing Paris [Saint-Germain]. They're a really good team, we know it's going to be a completely different game, very difficult. But we've prepared well and we will arrive full of confidence and serenity [I will be neither confident nor serene].

Journalist: We created a lot of chances tonight. The team was very efficient, they scored a lot of goals despite that goal they conceded. As you said, it's a good preparation game nonetheless before Paris [Saint-Germain].

Bompastor: Yes, yes. There's a lot to be satisfied about, a lot of things which worked well tonight. Those are things we will need to build on ahead of the games coming up towards the end of the season. In any case for the game itself it really fell in line with our expectations both for individual players and as a team. There were no injuries. We're preparing ourselves in the best conditions.

Journalist: And you have a lot of players scoring, that's good for what's coming up.

Bompastor: Yes, as I was saying, individually you have Vicki [Becho] who scores a hat trick, so she is continuing build off her good performances. We also saw a lot of players stand out in a positive way. So it helped the confidence of the individual players but also the team as a whole.

Journalist: Thank you, Sonia. Good game. Good derby.

Bompastor: Thank you.

[fierceawakening]

It’s years later and I still have this question.

I’ve been following a couple of true crime cases where the family of the perpetrators have suspected narcissistic tendencies might be a factor.

Yes, I know people say that narcissism is too often cited, but I think it’s likely a factor here. The perpetrator in one of these cases was a mommy vlogger who made literal comments about making sure her family looked good on camera and who did things like rant in videos if people didn’t give five star reviews even though the family vlog channel made them a fortune. She and her business partner (and likely lesbian partner) were convicted of horrific child abuse that included inflicting deep wounds. I didn’t see the photos of these wounds but I believe some were literally bone deep. In the course of the evidence finding, it became clear that the business partner saw herself as chosen by God in various ways.

The things about the constant taping, perfect image, and unhinged insistence on five star reviews seem to me to the idea that narcissism is often about wanting attention and never having enough, and the idea that this (for some people at least) isn’t just an odd or endearing quirk, but an all consuming drive that can lead to verbal or even physical violence when they don’t receive the positive feedback they crave.

Anyway, I was watching a podcast discussing this and another case (different people, kids murdered for “being zombies,” perpetrators shared some fringe religious beliefs with the women in the other case, including being God’s chosen) and they were discussing how they suspected narcissistic traits of the perpetrators in each case might have led to or worsened the violence.

(I am not saying, and they were not saying, that all people high in narcissistic traits are violent, much less to kids. I and they were saying that grandiosity *coupled* with intense, fundamentalist style religiosity and low tolerance for kids acting like kids could have served as a force multiplier, making what these people were willing to do to kids go from “too harsh” or even “already abusive” to “blatantly horrific to any possible observer, even people desensitized to more ‘average’ child abuse or murder cases.”)

And one thing the podcasters mentioned was that as they understood the criteria (one was a mental health professional who doesn’t practice but has the credentials to do so, the other was a family member of one of the perpetrators in the murder case) it’s highly unlikely for grandiose narcissists to ever be diagnosed, as one of the common traits is believing society’s rules don’t apply to them and thus not being likely to see their issues they have with others as in any way their fault even partially.

It’s also said to be the case that while their grandiose fantasies are a way of reassuring themselves they are worthy, these fantasies are Thus they’re unlikely to seek help.

Whereas here on tumblr a lot of people claim to be diagnosed with NPD or to have the traits. As they present it it’s a kind of perfectionism, where it’s so painful to think you might have made an error people can see that your mind twists it around so you did whatever it is correctly and THEY have it wrong, and therefore you continue to be able to see yourself as superior.

(Side note: Even if this is true, I can see why this would be more understandable than "Ruby is entitled and treats kids as objects," but I'm not sure I'm convinced it's actually less harmful. If your response to "Mom, you messed up" is "I'm going to punish YOU, because it's literally impossible for me to make a mistake, because I'll have an identity crisis if I admit that and I don't have time," that's still cruel and wrong and admitting fault is still the correct, mature, respectful, nonabusive behavior choice.)

I guess the difference is supposed to be presence of insight vs. lack? But if your belief you're superior is a literal delusion, then it seems to me you'd be more likely to lack insight than to have it.

And if you lack insight, that by itself doesn't mean you will be abusive or violent, but I suspect it does mean you might not see that you ARE abusive, if the behaviors you're engaging in are designed to shift the imperfection on to your partner or child.

I dunno. I definitely think that there's a cottage industry in "If you have lasting hurts, someone in your life was a narcissist" that will, like, positively identify the Karen ahead of you in the grocery line.

But I do think people really do sometimes blame others for their own faults, and the idea that this mostly stops just short of abusiveness seems a little... I hope so but why would it? In order to not be abusive, you have to be able to admit when you're at fault.

So I have a Bad Question:

Years ago when I first learned about certain mental illnesses, the thing I always heard was that it’s very rare for people to be diagnosed with NPD, because the nature of the illness means it’s difficult for people to take responsibility for things they do wrong, so they tend not to realize they have an illness and seek help, but rather think other people have the problem (whereas, as I was told it, people with things like mood disorders, say, do realize something is wrong–they know they are distressed by things that should not affect them so intensely, and don’t want to be.)

But I see quite a lot of people on Tumblr talking about having it and about what experiences with it are like.

So I’m curious… what happened? More awareness? Less stigma? More self-diagnosis? Nothing (as in me thinking I see something when it’s not an actual trend?)

When you're on your period

synopsis !! them on your blood week

note 01 !! writing this half drunk? ish will edits later

note 02 !! I tried editing it a bit but turns out, half drunk me can actually write pretty well!

characters !! diluc, kaeya, childe, zhongli, thoma

cw !! stereotypical period talk, afab reader

Diluc

Despite growing up in an all male household, I'm pretty sure Adeline and the other maids force fed him all he needed to know about how to treat a lady right on her period.

Not to be stereotypical, but he knows better than to be a spoiled brat around his childhood nannies when they were on their red weeks. That would've earned him an ear pinch and Crepus would've sided with the maids as well.

At least their efforts paid in full. Now they have the perfect gentleman and ideal bachelor for a master, except that he's a little antisocial...

Luckily, he somehow got you! Now he's in the early stages of your relationship and you're experiencing a particularly terrible period day.

We all know he's a walking heater. Just grab his big hand and place it over your abdomen! Voila! A heating pad.

It would be cute if you do it randomly too, like out in the day or in the tavern when your cramps hit and you just need a hot compress. He'll get a little flustered and confused until he realizes 'oh. i should activate my pyro.'

"Can I... take my hand back now? I have a bartending shift..."

"No."

Overall, man is happy to be a pyro allogene if it proves to be useful for you. Pyro can be so destructive, but for you to seek its comfort is so <3

On the occasion that he is clueless, though, he'd rush to Adeline for some advice, only to be crowded around by maids bombarding him with information on how to treat you.

Just imagine Diluc sitting in the kitchen surrounded by young maids and he's trying to mentally list everything but archons, they're lowkey intimidating him like a kid cornered by bullies — what are pad sizes and how is he supposed to know whether you need cold food or hot food?

Couldn't decide on a chocolate you like so he buys off two of every flavor.

Same goes with every other craving you have. If you so look at something, he buys it to appease you.

Kaeya

Like Diluc, he grew up being taught by the maids but as an adult, he has a more hands-on experience with people on their red days.

Most of his acquaintances in the knights order are women after all; Jean, Lisa, Amber, Eula... He's learned to help them through their bad days, even filling in their roles when the cramps get too much!

Despite that, I think his most reliable rule when dealing with periods would be to let you rest. Maybe because it's what he tells the knights under him whenever they ask to be excused.

"Oh? Dysmenorrhea? Head to the infirmary for some rest, you're excused for the day."

He'll buy you take out after a long day though! It'll be your favorite too.

He also likes slipping in bed to cuddle, hands gentle massaging any sore muscles with a gentle cool temperature.

If you're experiencing mood swings, he's the type to go along with you.

Oh? You're crying because... the cake he brought you is too cute? Alright... Kaeya understands. He nods along and agrees with you.

Childe

To my knowledge, he's the middle child with two sisters so he definitely knows what he's doing. Although he isn't home as often, his mama taught him well!

Like Kaeya, he probably also has his fair share of agents excusing themselves over their period or cramps.

Unlike Kaeya though, he doesn't rely on "go and rest" as the ultimatum. Childe treats you more like a child on your period, coddling uou and making sure you can handle yourself.

You have to reassure him that you're not exactly a sick kid 🤨 like... you can feed yourself. it's fine.

Probably tries to entertain you, "You can play with this toy while waiting for dinner. Or would you like to read a book instead?"

"Childe... I'm on my period, not regressing."

Childe would be the type to cook a great meal from scratch, most of it being sick people food like chicken soup (again, treating you like a little sibling).

Just allow yourself to be coddled like a child, being a big brother figure is his expertise I guess.

Zhongli

Honestly one of the best in dealing with you on your period. From your mood swings to your cramps, he's got it all covered.

Uses his excellent memory to predict your next period better than you can. Sometimes, you get surprised he's showing up with chocolates or a hot meal not knowing it's almost your period already.

Knows all the best tea and can personally make dysmenorrhea medicine from scratch. He has this little herb garden for you too!

He's amazing but modern period practices are kind of lost on him. Please, Liyue has come so far when it comes to personal care, back then, people used clean rags.

There are pad sizes and weights now? Cottony soft? Wings? Dry pads? Disposables? He's a little worried and tries to choose the safest option to his best knowledge.

Probably asks the store clerk or a nearby lady just to be sure he's got the right one for you.

Period shopping isn't his forte, but once he's got the grasp of it, expect him to show up every start of your period with everything you need! (paid by someone else, of course)

He has the tendency to treat you like a sick child as well. Maybe because of how fragile and weak mortals seem to him.

Thoma

He's an amazing housekeeper and caretaker, but he probably doesn't have a lot of personal experience dealing with periods.

I can imagine him learning to deal with Ayaka's red days first. There are usually maids for that, but sometimes the responsibility falls on him as a dear friend!

Back then, Thoma wasn't as aware but when people started welcoming him more as a foreigner, I can definitely see the other houseworkers talking kitchen gossip with him about their periods. He's just so polite and understanding about the topic, their gossip turns to advice giving when he genuinely asks for tips!

Like Diluc, he's your portable hot compress. Just grab his hand on a particularly bad day to feel warmth!

Also like Diluc, he gets crowded by the housewives and young maids telling him everything he needs to know if he ever asks for help.

Rather than caring for you though, I think he just continues to act like a house maid.

Especially if he's in your house; he'll cook and clean for you even though you're reminding him that it's just a bad cramp day.

Thoma cooks for you. I think this one's obvious.

as someone who gets rly bad cramps, I may or may not make a more comprehensive fic about them caring for particularly bad dysmenorrhea

Revalink week day 5: Paraglider

A day late, but I'm glad I got this out!

In loving memory of that time I started a new save of botw, got to the cryonis shrine, and killed myself by jumping down because I'd forgotten I didn't have the paraglider yet.

The hill felt perfect, though for what exactly, Link couldn’t tell. It is meager consolation: when no reassuring tug jolts his shoulders to break the plummeting sensation of freefall, he realizes just how badly his memory has failed him again.

Ah.

Later, when he’s gingerly prodding at his bruised ribs and the scrapes his tumble earned him, he gives it some thought. What exactly made him think jumping was safe?

Really, the answer is obvious.

The paraglider in the old man’s hands had filled Link with a profound sense of wrongness. It was ill-suited to the man’s size, the delicate frame looking like it should break under the weight. More than that, Link had taken one look at it and known he’d wanted it, more fiercely than anything he’d wanted in his half day of memories. But even that fierce longing doesn’t explain his sudden recklessness. It doesn’t explain the vivid sense-memory he gets whenever he looks at the nearby hills and the far-off mountains, the tug of desire to make it to the highest peaks only to feel the rush of descent again.

It must have been his, then. He wants it back.

The thought of having it in his possession again spurs him on. He fights his way past the monsters with skills only half-remembered and climbs to the top of the icy mountains to reach the last of the shrines the old man indicated. When he emerges again, the power of a new rune in the Sheikah Slate, the old man appears with the paraglider and more empty promises in hand. He thinks of taking it by force, and only barely quells the urge. Then he thinks of jumping down the mountain again, and somehow that urge is even harder to fight.

When he finally has it in hand again, after a trek to the very top of the temple, he finds that he cannot even enjoy it. The revelations of the old man — of the king — weigh him down. The castle in the distance is no longer an abstract danger he planned to avoid, but the embodiment of his own failure. How is he supposed to succeed on his own where an entire army failed in the past?

At least the feeling of flight, of the wind rushing past his face, is enough to distract from it for a moment until inevitably, his feet touch the ground outside the Great Plateau. That night, when he has reached the first stable on his journey and has learned not to flinch whenever people’s voices get too loud, he takes out the paraglider again. The wood has been treated by an expert hand; the cloth has been made so well that neither rain nor heat affect it. Still, it is not new: time has had its effect on the paraglider as well. He begs needle and thread off another traveler and finds that his hands remember the action of darning.

He does not remember the symbol woven into the cloth.

“Looks like something from the Rito,” says the innkeeper. “There’s this Rito bard who comes around every so often. If you stick around, I’m sure you can catch him.”

Bird people, something in Link’s deeply buried memories says. It would make sense, for them to be the ones to create a way for a Hylian to fly. Up on the Great Plateau, he had seen the menacing shape of a giant bird circling the western reaches of Hyrule. His feet wish to take him there. But he has to continue his journey towards Kakariko Village. So he does not wait for the elusive Rito bard, but instead takes the path further north from the stable.

Lady Impa’s words at least give him an excuse to seek out the Rito. They also give him a name.

Champion Revali of the Rito. The words stir little within him, but they sound as if they should. He fought side by side with the Champions. So was the Rito Champion a friend of his, someone who would give him the tools to take to the sky?

It takes days and days before he can even find out. The plains of Central Hyrule are treacherous and leave him no chance to use the paraglider; the eternal thunderstorm above the Thundra Plateau makes flight a hazard. Even the mountains of Tabantha, so inviting from afar, are buffeted by harsh winds that would crush him against the cliffside given the chance.

But at least he gets there in the end.

Rito Village would be idyllic if it weren’t menaced by the Divine Beast Link spotted all the way back on the Great Plateau. No memory comes to him as he enters the village either, but that’s okay, because near the top of the spiralling staircase, he finally finds what he was looking for, in chipped paint on wood: the same symbol woven into the cloth of his paraglider.

Revali’s Landing.

This must be it, he thinks, elation making him light-headed. And then his memories finally catch up to him and crush his delusions to dust.

If Champion Revali was an ally of his, it was only in the most technical of senses. The Champion saw no worth within him, felt no desire to take to the sky and fight side by side with him. The trail he’s been chasing for so long is a dead end. Champion Revali could never have been the one to give him the paraglider.

He sits down heavily, hands clutching the cloth of the paraglider. Whoever gave it to him must have seen some worth within him regardless. But Rito history is short and fleeting. Their name, and who they were to Link, are long lost to time. All he has of them is this one gift and the freedom it has afforded him.

Requested By Anon: Hello lovely!! I'm not sure if your requests are open so if they're not i'm so sorry, just ignore this.

I also don't know if you're up to do heavier topics like this but could you maybe write something where reader (female) notice a little lump on the side of her boob and obviously gets scared thinking the worst so she has a break down and Antonio Dawson finds her crying and when she tells him he does gets scare too but tries to be strong for her. They go to the doctor together and it turns out to be nothing. So a fluffy sweet ending

This happened to me not long ago, and everything is fine now but i wish i had someone to tell me everything was going to be okay when it happened so... That's why it's a bit too specific my request😅 thank you ❤️

A/N: Please please be aware that this deals with a very sensitive topic, I did my best to do it justice. Please read with caution.

-

You were supposed to be using your day off to rest and reset your body and mind, yet all it had culminated in was you sitting on the couch staring into space. A thousand thoughts and scenarios flittered in your mind, how would Antonio react? What if you couldn’t afford treatment, what if treatment wasn’t even an option? You didn’t want to be a burden on anyone, and you had so much left you wanted to do, your life with Antonio had only just begun. The anxiety was almost suffocating, constricting in your chest as you thought about ‘it’ sitting inside you, just to the side of your breast, somewhat tender and most definitely a lump.

They always tell you to never self-diagnose, to not use the internet to determine your ailment, to not read the threads upon threads of missed or delayed diagnoses, to not think the worst but to seek medical help immediately. Yet, you still got caught in the trap, you had felt the lump during your shower this morning, and now you can only think of that one word. Cancer. That evil, dreaded, word and all the hurt that it can bring with it. You were terrified to be examined, to see the morose look on the doctor’s face when they have to tell you that is in fact that C-word, that grim reaper that lingers too often and too long in people’s lives.

Somewhere a quiet voice tries to offer the reassurance that the lump can, more often than not, be benign. Yet, the louder gremlin on your shoulder throws out words of sickness and suffering, and you feel the tears hot and heavy as they well up in your eyes. Too present and too much to hide as you hear the key in the front door and Antonio stepping into the apartment.

“Princesa, it’s me,” Antonio calls, not having noticed you curled up on the couch around the corner from the door. You can’t even pretend to be caught up in something as the sobs escape you, instantly alerting Antonio to your very distressed state, he steps faster into the living area, dropping his bag beside the couch as he comes to kneel in front of you. 

His hands are warm and tender on your thighs, resting there as he tries to look at your bowed-down face. “Hey, what’s going on, what’s wrong?”

“I-...I-...” The emotions are too strong, only your staccato’d cry fills the air as you sink into Antonio’s embrace on the floor next to the couch.

“Shh, cariña, it’s alright. Whatever it is, I’m here.” His arms wrap around you, half pulling you into his lap as he holds you, whispering comforting words as he coaxes you to tell him what’s wrong. Soft lips find your damp cheeks as he strokes through your hair, the scent of him is grounding. You feel your breathing slow along with your racing heart, still skittering but not on the verge of imploding as it had felt a moment ago.

As you start to calm down, you pull back to look at Antonio’s worried face, you smile weakly and sniff away the last of your tears. 

“Y/N?” He asks again softly, tilting your chin so you stay looking at him.

You take a deep breath, shuddering as you fight to keep your emotions in check this time.

“Um, I-, I found a lump on the side of my boob this morning.”

Your voice is quiet, not sure what else to say, a slight embarrassment ripples through as though somehow it shouldn’t be anything to worry about. Yet, Antonio’s face of concern oddly reassures you that you hadn’t overreacted.

Your boyfriend swallows, trying to not let his eyes betray the rising tendrils of panic inside him. He knew that it could be something but it could also be nothing, and given your deep concern already he didn’t need to feed into it. Instead, he corralled his mind into an almost professional mindset in order to help you properly.  “Oh, mi amor…” He murmurs, cupping your cheek tenderly, thumb soothing over the damp, heated, skin from your tears. “Hey, it’s scary, I hear that… But if you’re ready, we can make an appointment and get it checked out, then we know one way or the other what we’re looking at.”

You feel yourself tremble, lip wobbling again. You could see just how ready Antonio was to take care of this, yet it was just so terrifying now that you had psyched yourself out. 

“I’m not gonna leave your side, mi vida. You gotta know that whether good or bad, we go into this together and we come out the other side, alright?”

You search for composure, taking another deep breath as Antonio rubs your back. 

“Okay, yeah, okay… Thank you, Toni, seriously.” 

“It’s nothing to thank me for, you’re my girl,” He smiles, pressing a kiss to your forehead, you close your eyes and focus on his touch, wrapping your arms around him as you rest your head on his shoulder. He lets you take the time you need.

You don’t know how long you sit like that, drifting in a haze of surreal anticipation, you relish the presence of the man you adore, knowing that if nothing else he’s here with you. 

“I love you.” You mumble into his shoulder, squeezing him a little. 

He laughs softly, humming, “I love you too.” 

You sigh, slowly extricating yourself from Antonio’s embrace as you shimmy off his lap, ready to stand up and stretch out the tension. “Okay, let’s rip this bandaid off. Time to call my doctor’s office…” 

He nods, taking your hand as you help him up off the floor. You sink down into the couch, reaching for your cellphone as you search the contacts, feeling Antonio sit beside you and wrap an arm around your shoulder, fingers lightly stroking over your arm.

-

The call to the doctor’s office was both productive and an anticipatory nightmare, the receptionist was kind and reassuring as they booked your appointment into the system. Yet, the problem was it wasn’t until the morning, and you weren’t sure how you would handle the long night’s wait.

Toni tried to keep things relaxed for you, finding one of your favourite movies and getting you takeout from the Greek place you loved, yet he could feel your perfectly valid distracted posture. You just couldn’t keep still and you kept disappearing to the bathroom, after the third visit Antonio realised you were repeatedly checking the lump to examine it, prod it and look for any rapid change. To which there was none, only the slight tenderness remained. 

In bed, you pillowed yourself on Toni’s chest, an arm slung over him as you tried to focus on the thuds of his heartbeat, his fingers danced up and down your back in soothing tracks, occasionally you would feel lips press against the top of your head with reassuring kisses until eventually, Toni heard your breaths get deeper and slower, you had managed to find sleep. 

Now, he lay there himself, holding you close as he thought about the appointment that came ever closer. He felt his own adrenaline simmer in his stomach, he very well knew that it could be nothing at all except a harmless spot of fatty tissue, and yet… He couldn’t keep the dread from rearing its ugly head from time to time.

He didn’t want to feed into your worry, but he found himself saying a few prayers as he chased his own sleep, wanting desperately for you to be okay and for the news tomorrow to be the most positive it could be.

-

The next morning had nervous energy surrounding you like thick smog, and as much as Antonio tried to put forward a confident and reassuring air, you could tell he was worried too. The way he would keep in gentle contact with you, the reassuring glances and checking to see how you were doing - it all felt too real suddenly, the chance that your life could change by the morning was over was surreal. Yet, you were still so very grateful for him by your side, you didn’t want anybody else. 

Waiting in the doctor’s office was the worst part, surrounded by sick and worried faces, the drab colours only compounding the sense of a dreary, bleak, outlook for your future. It was hard to shake the negativity once you were in the purgatory of wait.

A call of your name snaps you out of your reverie, springing to your feet as Antonio follows, a reassuring palm on your lower back as you usher into the office, following your doctor’s footsteps. 

“So, Miss Y/L/N… I understand you’ve got some concerns about a lump on your breast, is that correct?” 

You freeze for a moment, the words stuck in your throat as you are all too aware that once you go looking for the answer, there’s no return. 

“Uh, yes. I found it yesterday morning in the shower. It doesn’t hurt really, just tender.”

The doctor nods, smiling reassuringly as you appear to look a little queasy. 

“Okay, so what we’re going to do is, if you’re comfortable and ready, I am going to give you some privacy behind that curtain over there, you’re going to take your shirt and bra off for me, and I will examine your breasts for any other abnormalities, causes for concern, anything that’s amiss… and then we’ll go from there, is that okay? Would you like a chaperone for the procedure?” 

Antonio stays quiet beside you, but you feel his hand on your knee, squeezing reassuringly. You turn to him, silently asking the question. He nods, thumb rubbing over your leg. 

“Is it alright if my partner comes with me?” You ask, voice quiet, feeling a little self-conscious. 

The doctor’s face is kind, nodding in affirmative, she stands to gesture both you and Antonio towards the curtain. “Of course, not a problem. I’ll give you a few minutes to get comfortable, and then I’ll be over to begin.” 

“Okay”, you reply softly, eventually finding it within you to approach the examination area. Antonio pulls the curtain round for you as you hand him your clothing to hold, your heart hammering in your chest.

“It’s gonna be alright, mi amor. I’m right here.” Antonio is tender, giving you a quick kiss as you call out to the doctor that you’re ready.

-

And it was alright, a few days after the physical exam, the scans, the blood tests… the results given to you over the phone from your doctor were overwhelmingly reassuring. There was nothing to be found that was cause for concern or immediate action. The lump on your breast was considered a fibroadenoma, a benign cyst that should clear up over time. If it didn’t reduce in size or got bigger, they could simply remove it. It posed no considerable threat to your life or wellbeing, the most welcome and surreal words you could have ever heard.

Antonio had been sitting next to you at the time, having been given a few days furlough to make sure everything was in order before you went back to work too. As your face lit up in relief, so did his, squeezing you tight and smothering you in kisses as you tried not to giggle too much whilst on the phone, his fingers tickling your sides.

You thanked your doctor and disconnected the call, letting out an enthusiastic whoop of relief as you melted into Toni’s loving embrace, sharing long teasing kisses with him as he pulled you on top of his lap. 

“Better?” He asks, eyes bright with his own relief, feeling how precious you were more than ever.

You hum happily, giggling again, “Much better.” You press kisses to Toni’s face, his jaw, massaging your fingers at the nape of his neck, fingers combing through his thick head of hair, inhaling his aftershave.

The anxious smog had lifted, and you could breathe easier again. It’s always so hard when one small thing can put your whole worldview into flux, it felt like being back on solid ground now that you knew there was nothing festering within.

For hours after, as you lay content with your head in Toni’s lap, you listened to the movie playing in the background, your boyfriend smiling at your cat-like behaviour, relishing the way you relaxed into him. You feel yourself letting your eyes close, sinking into a light slumber on the couch, with not a trace of worry to follow.

I'll Stop Projecting When I'm Dead: AiB as Comfort Characters

Scenario: You (yes, you!) have just survived a terrible game. Shaken by the horrors you've witnessed, you seek out comfort from the character of your choice.

This is meant for general audiences—there are some mentions of violence, alcohol, implied drugging, etc. but nothing explicit. This is wholesome. (Or, you know, as wholesome as some of these people get...)

Characters Included: Arisu, Chota, Karube, Shibuki, Tatta, An, Kuzuryuu, Chisiya, Aguni, Hatter, Mira, Niragi, Kuina, Last Boss, and Momoka & Asahi

Enjoy 💖

✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Arisu:

Although Arisu is very in-tune with your emotions, he doesn't know how to handle you running into his room with tears streaming down your face. So he freezes, unsure of how to respond, which only makes you start crying harder.

In a panic, Arisu does the only thing he can think of—he grabs the comforter off of his bed and throws it over you, adjusting the fluffy blanket so that it rests over your head and body like a hooded cloak. It's one of the things he used to do to comfort himself when he got scared, so he hopes it'll work for you too. Then, he sits next to you on the bed and drapes his arms around you, holding you close as he lets you cry it out.

Arisu is not one for words during these kinds of situations—touch is more his forté—but every so often, he'll say something like, "It's all gonna be okay" or "It's over, and you're safe." Whether you tell him what happened or you don't, he'll sit with you for as long as you need to feel better.

Chota:

Chota gets extremely uncomfortable when other people are crying—especially when that person is you.

Unlike Arisu's freeze response, Chota jumps immediately into overdrive. He starts fussing over you, asking what's wrong and getting very worried over your increasing distress. When he notices the blood on your hands and arms, he panics further. It's nice to know that he cares so much, but it's a little frustrating to have him reacting so strongly when you're the one suffering.

So, you tell him you need him to help somehow, and it's like something clicks into place. He immediately gets you water and watches intently as you sip it. He takes you to the sink and helps you scrub your hands until all the blood is gone. He draws you a bath and let's you soak, anxiously waiting outside the door in case you need anything else—while also checking in what feel like every two minutes, just to be sure you're okay.

Karube:

Out of The Boys™️, Karube is the most level-headed. So when you come up to him shaking and sobbing, he stops you from running into his arms and asks you (gently but firmly) if you're hurt. Even when you shake your head and whimper a pitiful No, he still gives you a quick once-over to check for any obvious injuries.

Only after that does he let you crash into him, holding your head to his chest as you let your emotions overwhelm you. He is a master of small-talk and sweet nothings, mumbling calm reassurances into your hair as he lazily runs a hand up and down your back in a repetitive, soothing motion.

He doesn't care that you're getting blood and dirt (and tears and snot) all over his favorite shirt—all that matters is you feeling safe and knowing he'll always protect you.

Shibuki:

When you come to Shibuki, covered in blood and trembling from the horrors of your latest game, she's all business. Tough love is her speciality after all, so the first thing she does is make you wash the blood off—to an outsider, it may seem like she's being cruel or uncaring, but you know she's just being practical.

When you can't stop crying, she grabs your face in both of her hands and makes you look directly at her. Calmly amd evenly, she says to you: You are safe. You did what you had to do. She gives you an expectant glare that only softens when you repeat what she said. "I am safe. I did what I had to do." She says it again and you answer, over and over until your breathing evens and you start to believe it.

She lets you stay with her that night, wordlessly facing each other on the bed, until you both fall into a deep, well-deserved sleep.

Tatta:

Sweetheart Tatta sees you in distress and is totally caught off-guard—what terrible thing could have happened to you to make you this upset? As you babble snippets of the horrors you had just witnessed between hiccupping sobs, he listens and pretends to understand.

He realizes that he needs to do something to make you feel better, and fast, so he sits you somewhere comfortable and tells you to wait. He runs out the door, leaving you alone in your misery.

Within ten minutes, he's back—breathing heavily, as if he had just run a mile—and hands you something round and cold. You blink away your tears and see that it's a bowl of ice cream (or frozen, dairy-free dessert), a generous serving of your favorite flavor, with all of your favorite toppings piled high on top. He sheepishly apologizes for taking so long, but he knows people always feel better when they have something good to eat.

You can't help but start laughing at the sweet gesture, and although it doesn't solve everything, it makes you feel a little better nonetheless.

An:

An is cold and calculating on the outside. On the inside, she's rather warm and caring. So when you come to her after nearly dying in a game, she whisks you away from prying eyes and takes you back to the privacy of her room.

Because of her extensive knowledge of the human body, An knows that one of the best ways to relax is to have a massage. Even if the game hadn't been particularly traumatic, you'd still probably be sore from participating, so she offers to help work out some of the tension. She starts with your hands, manipulating your fingers and stroking your palms until you begin to slowly calm down. An is an excellent listener, so when you feel okay enough to start talking about what happened, she pays close attention and doesn't interrupt as you recount your horrific experience.

By the time she moves on to your shoulders, you're feeling both the physical and emotional tension leave your body.

Kuzuryuu:

Kuzuryuu is not the touchy-feely sort, so don't expect a lot of hugs and cuddling from this man.

What you can expect, however, is for him to talk you down. He will reassure you with statistics—that every person who plays a game has a seventy percent* chance of dying, and that there is only a thirteen percent* chance of everyone surviving a game. That is because the games are designed to kill, and whether you had participated or not, there still would have been deaths.

He also reminds you that you are not to blame; living in the Borderlands means making impossible choices every day, and even making the 'wrong' choice doesn't mean you're a bad person.

In a moment of compassion, he puts your hand over yours and reminds you that feelings—even the negative ones—are proof that you are still alive and still human. And here, that means everything.

Chisiya:

Chisiya doesn't often display emotion, so when he sees you a crying mess after finish your latest game, he seems unbothered.

He takes you back to his room and guides you into the bathroom. He has you hop up onto the counter (or, depending, sit on the low stool at the vanity) and fills the sink with warm water. When he gets his small medical kit from the drawer, you know what's about to come next.

Carefully and clinically, Chisiya washes the blood and dirt from your skin with a soft cloth. Once finished, he begins his examination. From head to toe, he looks you over, explaining what he's doing in great detail as he checks for any signs of internal or external damage. He would have been an exceptional doctor—his easygoing manner and soothing voice make you feel at ease as he cleans your wounds with antiseptic and dresses them with sterile bandages. He even prescribes a few medications, along with plenty of rest and fluids to get you feeling better.

It's not the most typical form of comfort, but having someone go to such lengths to make sure you're uninjured makes you feel cared for.

Aguni:

Aguni's knee-jerk response to someone having a mental breakdown in his room is disdain—this is the Borderlands, where you either, as Johnny Cash so eloquently put it, "get tough or die."

But when it's you who's inconsolable...that's different.

Thinking is the root of your problem, all those troublesome thoughts and feelings swirling around in your overwhelmed mind, so he makes it so you don't have to think. In a tone that brokers no arguments, he begins giving orders. Walk to the bathroom. Turn on the light. Go to the sink. Turn on the water. Get soap on your hands. Scrub the blood off. Don't stop until it's all gone.

He walks you through an entire night routine like that—showering, putting on fresh clothes, brushing your teeth—and by the time you're tucking yourself into the extra bed (because he's one of those lucky bastards who has two beds in his room), you find yourself feeling almost numb.

He starts reading aloud from the book he had been keeping on his nightstand—it's just interesting enough to keep the memories of your horrible experience at bay as you slip into sleep.

Hatter:

Hatter is perhaps the most outwardly sympathetic of bunch, saccharine and almost condescending in the way he comforts you as you cry into your hands.

An excellent host, he makes sure your glass is never empty. The alcohol numbs, and before long, you find yourself slumping against him in a twilight-tipsy haze as the room spins. He drapes an arm across your shoulders and talks about all the wonderful things he has in store for the future of the Beach.

You end up in his bed (perhaps even through innocent, platonic means) and you stay the night, taking comfort in the fact that you don't have to be alone.

Mira:

This is hardly the first time Mira has dealt with an emotional breakdown, so she barely bats an eye at your acute distress.

She whisks you away to her room where she guides you into an armchair and pours you a cup of soothing tea. Sitting opposite you, she wears her most serene smile as she guides you through some relaxation exercises. Even though it doesn't seem like they'd help, you start to feel calmer, and that's when she begins to ask you questions about your experience.

You tell her everything, albeit slowly. Certain parts have you choking on your own throat, but she waits patiently until you're able to get the words out. When you start to get a little woozy, you wonder why she hadn't had any tea herself—but that thought is quickly vanished when she starts steering you to bed, tucking the covers beneath your chin tightly as you fall helplessly into a dreamless sleep.

Niragi:

Niragi positively beams when he sees you walking into the room, your hands and clothes covered in fresh blood. He rolls his eyes when he sees your tears, but laughs loudly and drags you away from the crowd.

The roof is his favorite place, so it's no wonder he'd bring you here—but when he puts his gun in your trembling hands, you feel confused.

He helps you aim at a skyscraper across the way, tall windows glistening black and dark in the night. Under his guidance, you pull the trigger and watch one of the windows shatter as he helps you handle the kickback. It feels good, and you shoot until there's no bullets left—windows breaking, Niragi cheering you on as you scream your hurt into the sky.

When it's over, you feel empty. You feel exhausted. Niragi takes the gun back and puts his arm around you, and you slump against him as you watch the stars together.

Kuina:

When it comes to caring for people, Kuina is the best. She's compassionate, clever, and highly empathetic—so when she finds you crying and covered in blood, she's ready to spring into action.

Unlike the others, Kuina asks you what you need before she attempts to do anything. Her hand is resting on your shoulder, her voice steady—her eyes meet your own, tears doing nothing to deter her from giving you what you need.

If you can't tell her what you need, no problem; Kuina knows how to handle that, too. She asks increasingly specific questions: 'do you want to go somewhere quiet?' and 'do you need to see a doctor?' top the list, all the way down to 'can I get you some water?'

By the time you've stopped crying, you're lying in bed with Kuina next to you. She's talking about her old life, the clothes they would sell in the shop where she worked and all the people that would come in and ask for her assistance, and it's one of the only times you feel normal in the Borderlands.

Last Boss:

Emotions don't come easily to Last Boss, so when he sees you in distress, he pauses. It's not that he's uncomfortable, it's more that he has a hard time relating. But he knows that he cares for you, and that he wants to do something to help.

So he takes you back to his room. He keeps the lights off, letting only the glow of the moon from the window illuminate the space. When he nods towards the bed, you walk over, and when you lay down, he nods his assent. He sits in the armchair across from the bed, katana unsheathed and his eyes watching you closely.

"Death is a part of life," he tells you simply, and for some reason, it's oddly comforting. You are able to drift off to much-needed sleep knowing that you have someone to watch over you and keep you safe.

Momoka and Asahi:

Don't be fooled—just because they're younger than most of the other Beach residents doesn't mean they don't know how to react in a crisis. When they see you having a panic attack after your latest game, they work together to calm you down.

The nightclub bathroom is disgusting, but it has a mirror and plenty of room for the three of you. Asahi scrubs the blood from beneath your fingernails while Momoka helps you regulate your breathing and gives you tissues to wipe the tears away.

Then they drag you onto the dance floor, despite your protests, and all but force you to dance. The music is so loud, it makes it impossible for you to think about anything else, so you let everything go and move your body with the rhythm. It's cathartic, dancing with your friends, and it helps you feel at least a little bit more okay despite everything you've witnessed in the Borderlands.

✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

...And that's what we've got! Some of them are better equipped to deal with emotional distress than others, to put it lightly! I tried to really think what the character would do, so hopefully I got it right. Or, right enough.

Thanks for reading! 💕

As promised, the post about Seanwhite's D/s dynamic.

Their kink relationship is very interesting to me. They don't know each other on a personal level, but they know each other on a kink level, whether they realize it or not. The thing about connecting with someone on a D/s level, especially if it's as intense as what they clearly feel, is that it's extremely difficult to not automatically fall into that dynamic, whether you mean to or not. I don't think either of them remotely mean to, but they just can't help it. Dgmw, I'm not saying that that's exclusive to kink connections, obviously romantic connections are also very difficult to ignore. But for kinky people, generally the way we experience romantic love tends to be wrapped up in our kink needs(though not always the other way around). And often it's harder to deny the kink connection than the romantic one(think Leo and Fiat and their obvious inability to not have a D/s relationship with each other even though it was unspoken and they were ostensibly friends).

Personal story time! The most profound kink relationship I've ever had was with a man who, when we met, was deeply, deeply devoted to Christianity, and thought he wasn't allowed to date an Atheist. But, despite our religious differences, we very much fell in love. He was able to ignore that, but he couldn't ignore the way we instinctively related to each other as Dominant and submissive, so we spent some time exploring kink in a non sexual and non romantic way(mostly service submission and s&m). It didn't work out for multiple reasons, but even to this day when we spend time together, it's all but impossible for us to pretend that we don't relate to each other in that way.

The point is, Sean and White also can't pretend that they don't have that with each other. Even when they were boxing, it turned into a kind of kink dance:

The way they look at each other is a big, big tell. White looks at Sean with scared vulnerability, while Sean gazes down at him calmly, clearly in control of both himself and White. And then, when he knocks White out:

He looks at him with this somewhat concerned yet stern expression, the way a Dom sometimes looks at a sub after a scene. In a way, that's exactly what they just did. And he's also clearly trying to come to grips with what he's feeling.

Then we have some behavior control, Sean firmly telling White to be respectful and polite:

And we get another look between them after Sean yanks him out of the bathroom:

Same frightened vulnerability, same calm, stern expression.

And some more power play:

White is whiney, the way submissives often are when their Dom gives them orders they don't want to follow, but he only gives the most token of struggles. Also, I can't lie, the way Sean slams White's arm into the bed is hella sexy.

Pushing against your Dom, testing their strength, can be a way to seek reassurance. For subs what we desire is often a sense of safety. It may seem counterintuitive, but knowing that your Dom is stronger than you, can physically control you, gives you that sense of safety. So when White moves his hand a little, that's what he's seeking from Sean. The knowledge that Sean is stronger than him, can control him. And Sean does exactly what he wants when he tightens his grip on White's wrist.

Their relationship is extremely intense, and I'm very curious where it'll go from here.

Feel free to engage with this post!

Well I got at least two people interested (@esmeralda-anistasia and @deathsmallcaps) so why not.

Quick disclaimer: I understand that some fans can be very sensitive to this topic and take general criticisms as personal attacks and jump to the defensive. Please don't justify your ships to me if you have that reaction to anything said in this post. It's not my business and if I'm honest I really don't care. Your experiences are not mine and will not change mine and nothing I'm about to say is meant to be read as an insult.

Okay onto the rarepairs in question!

I was ten years old when the episode Zuko Alone first aired and Ursa fascinated me. She was so elegant and sweet, and yet the implication was that she was also capable of assassination. Her disappearence and the fact everyone involved kept pretty hush-hush about her gave her character an air of mystery and Zuko's memories involving her made him a great deal more interesting and sympathetic (i still rolled my eyes every time he showed up and thought he didn't deserve all the cute moments with Mai until The Day of Black Sun, and even then still thought Jet was cooler in every way, but you can't please them all). She had quickly become a favorite character and I've held onto that adoration for about 15 years now.

I also really wanted her to kiss Hakoda.

They had compatible personalities and deserved some luck in love after all the heartbreak and trials, and they both loved their children despite having to leave. Ursa was never treated as dead, just gone. She could have been anywhere and there was nothing to say she couldn't have crossed paths with Hakoda and his men.

There was also something about it I didn't quite have the words or media exposure to explain. Often, in fandom or canon, if a relationship is biracial, the partner who is fairer-skinned and/or of the dominant or invading culture, who the audience sees themselves in, is the man and the one who is darker-skinned and/or marginalized or colonized is the woman (heteronormativity got a head start on this one). There's a lot of ugly "taming the savage" rhetoric in this, usually paired with blatant misogyny that's supposed to be in the woman's favor (like suggesting that a woman could only be complicit in this culture because it was what she was told and didn't know any better). The woman's family and friends who oppose this are depicted as unfairly prejudiced against this strange man as if their distaste for people who can be or have been responsible for things like genocide or subjugation is the same as the other side seeing these people as deserving of genocide or subjugation for the crime of not being like them. Sometimes it's the other way around, where the partner seen as "more civilized" is the woman and the one seen as "less civilized" is the man, in which case the woman is often abducted or otherwise the man's defining feature is his brutishness. This supposed brutishness is both intimidating and attractive to the oh so delicate if a bit repressed captive/wife (as well as the audience) and can manifest as being fiercely protective of her, which is how he shows his affection if there is a language barrier between them. And if you grow up Native, this is easy to pick up on and often in the back of your mind, because at least 90% of your media representation likely has some aspect mentioned above.

(Man that was a lot of academic style analysis)

But the dynamic between Hakoda and Ursa wouldn't leave room for any of that. Hakoda, as an absent parent backstory, is defined by having to leave despite how much he loved and would miss his children. Ursa, as an absent parent backstory, is defined by the crime she was willing to commit for her children (for Zuko specifically, but how long would it actually take for Azula to shoot her mouth off at the wrong place and time and also be targeted by Azulon?). Ursa was the one whose willingness to kill sent her fleeing into the night. The culture of her nation betrayed her and made her choose between her own safety and that of at least one of her children. Hakoda is charismatic and a good leader, but he is also soft spoken and understanding, and above all else, gentle. He isn't here to hurt innocents. He's here to see to it that the next generation of his people will not fear invaders or raids or even know that snow can be black from soot. And he's someone Ursa can finally feel safe around and confide in, and she could be the same for him. Someone he doesn't have to be the leader for, to whom he can admit that he just wants to be home and let the tears fall.

I'm honest enough to admit that one of the reasons I liked The Search was that Ikem wore his hair a lot like Hakoda did and that was close enough to it being canon for me.

Another one is Jin/Smellerbee. Something about their personalities strikes me as being so wonderfully harmonious and I like to imagine Jin, smooth-talking and streetwise but still the most genuine person, being the one to sit Smellerbee, who never really got a chance to think about these things, down and explain that anything she might be is okay. That it's okay to not be in love with a guy friend who gave her a purpose and loyal companionship. That it's okay to like girls. That she can have more than one partner. That it's okay to be different from what's considered normal and proper and not have an easy word to describe it. And eventually she'd realize it's true. And eventually she'd realize that she wasn't teasing when she called her beautiful in a wild sort of way.

I also like to think that Smellerbee clearly has more specialized fighting skills and is very good at what she does but Jin is strong enough to bench press her no problem. And Smellerbee acts all tough (because she is) but blushes whenever Jin calls her cute or pretty because she's not used to it.

Sometimes Longshot is involved too. Not as a third wheel or the exact same kind of partner, more like a ghibli style relationship with Smellerbee. Like is it a gentle romance? Is it an intimate friendship? It's love and they know that and don't have to define it by others' perception. And Jin gives Longshot kisses so he doesn't feel left out, which gets him a bit bashful because she really could have anyone, she already has Smellerbee of all people, and she still finds him deserving of a peck on the cheek. They probably all bunk together.

This actually started from a fic I wrote but don't intend on posting more than snippets of. Basically, i was tired of a lot of fanfic tropes, especially those having to do with friends to lovers and soulmates (this world is not kind to aromantics and the last thing I wanted in my escapism was romance being established as a level up for relationships), so I wrote something to actively subvert all of them. Jet and Smellerbee were each convinced they owed the other a romantic relationship after all they'd been through together, even though neither actually wanted it, because that's how all the stories go. So after he dies, she remembers all those times that would have been romantic if either was actually interested, but were instead just uncomfortable because it was entirely social convention and no feeling. But then she comes across Jin, who she's never met before, but who takes her in her arms and reassures her and sympathizes with her, and in this tiny apartment in this seedy side of town, she feels safe. She seeks permission for every touch and kiss and tells her this encounter doesn't have to be anything she isn't comfortable with. And when Smellerbee has to leave, Jin insists she take a candle to light her way, and winks when she says she can return it the day after. She gives her an excuse to visit again. And Smellerbee blushes and accepts it.

And then there's Teo/Haru and Teo/Ty Lee. No special reason I just think both would make a cute couple and want Teo to be happy. He's a good boy, more people should love him. Let him impress people with wheelchair tricks and get smooched.

Why Do-yeok

I cannot believe I'm writing another one of this "Why" post. I thought it's a one-time thing with Love Alarm... But, here I am. Maybe because just like the previously mentioned Netflix series, Nevertheless causes huge discourse among its viewers. Team Potato and Team Butterfly. Jae-eon and Do-hyeok. Sanctuary or the gravitational pull.

And first off, an important note: my intention by writing this is not to seek any debate with anyone. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, so here's mine. Feel free to read it or definitely not to read it if you're firmly on Jae-eon's corner and you can't imagine Na-bi with anyone else but him. I just want to sort out my thoughts simultaneously through writing this. And this is gonna be a bit long, I suppose.

So, as the title already declares, I'm Team Potato all the way. And, yep, this means I'm thoroughly on Do-hyeok's side and I want him to be happy because he deserves it. (Still need to see what's in store in the final episode, but I'm perfectly okay with an open ending: Na-bi ends up not choosing anyone but herself, as long as her friendship with Do-hyeok remains intact.)

And this comes down simply because of who Yang Do-hyeok is as a person.

If Do-hyeok is real, then you can bet that I'll date him myself too. At the very least, I'd definitely like to be friends with him.

Why?

Because....

One. His whole vibe is just so....warm and comfortable. We often see Do-hyeok's cheerful sides. He smiles a lot (and boy, Chae Jong-hyeop's smiles are just so endearing, but we're talking about the character here. Ahem.) He's attentive, thoughtful, and open. And he's not only like this with Na-bi. He, by nature, is a very friendly person, as you can see from his interaction with Do-yeon, his cousin, also with Na-bi's friends and the hyeongs in the noodle restaurant that he works at.

And I like it a lot that even just after Do-hyeok confesses to Na-bi and she turns him down, the very next day, they're able to speak with each other normally and just talk about his videos and how she'll watch them and give him feedback. That night, Na-bi also answers his call with a smile on her face. They joke around and not even stopping after Do-hyeok throws her some arguably-cringey-lines (if uttered by other guys and not handled properly). Clearly, Na-bi's very on ease and comfortable with and around him despite everything that has happened.

She even says this on her own: "And most of all, I feel comfortable when I'm with him."

Two. With Do-hyeok, the communication is sterling. Honesty and communication is also very important in a healthy relationship. Your partner isn't a mind reader, so you gotta tell her/him what you feel and think about, especially when you're having a hard time, so you both can work on it together. And our potato guy is the perfect example of openness and honesty.

Even when he's having a hard time, he doesn't lash out (unlike a certain someone), but he communicates it clearly to Na-bi: "I saw you and Park Jae-eon going into your house together. I know I said that I could wait for you as long as it takes. But I felt so jealous."

Do-hyeok also casually throwing lines like: "It's nice to hear your voice. The whole neighborhood seems empty without you." which can be really cringey, but hearing these with Chae Jong-hyeop's delivery = it's just Do-hyeok openly sharing his thoughts. And, again, he's not just like this with Na-bi. That's just the way he is. He openly states his concerns and thoughts to people close to him.

After her first disaster relationship and Jae-eon (who's a master deflector on all personal questions and is truly opaque), IMO someone like Do-hyeok is what Na-bi needs. With Do-hyeok, she never has to guess where she stands. And Na-bi responds to his openness accordingly. She shares her worries and not-so-good moments ("I was spacing out because the critique went badly. I got scolded. This semester is really the worst. I didn't get accepted to the exchange program as well.") And of course, Do-hyeok responds by reassuring and encouraging her.

Three. They begin as friends. Childhood friends, even. And while some may point out that she friend-zones him, I beg to differ. The expression on Na-bi's face when she first sees Do-yeon and hasn't recognizes her is not the expression of someone who sees her just-platonic-friend conversing with a girl. You can practically see the gears in her head turning and she suddenly looks unsure: "Who is that girl talking to Do-hyeok?"

But anyway, iIluminatedquill has written here and here what I want to say and more, so I won't add any more here, other than this: it's my own personal preference as well. I'm just more drawn to romantic relationships which also evolve from friendship. I feel that lust will only get you so far, and the companionship aspect is what makes it long-lasting. (Even in my personal life, my boyfriend is not only my boyfie, he's my friend and partner in crime also.)

Four. Do-hyeok has good and normal relationships with his family. He obviously has good relationship with his Grandpa (judging from the way he's reviving his Grandpa's noodle place until his Grandpa feels better) and is close with his cousin, Do-yeon. While this is based on what's been shown and even though we never see or hear about his parents, I think it's safe to say that Do-hyeok most probably grows up in a loving family and he carries their values with him as he approaches his relationships with people as an adult.

Again, this is mostly personal preference, but as someone who highly value family, for me this is another point for Do-hyeok. I'm not saying that someone with dysfunctional family cannot form loving relationships, but it's what one aspires for.

Do-hyeok cares for people. He takes care of them (e.g. voicing concerns over Do-yeon's plastered hand, preparing umbrella and coffee for Na-bi, etc etc). And, sadly, Jae-eon's distant family background just makes him even more detached and non-committal towards people.

As for Na-bi, she wants to learn from her mother and not following in her footsteps. "I promise myself I would never date while watching my mom." It's heavily implied (and is practically confirmed by her aunt) that her mother dates around as well, and from the one scene we're shown during her birthday weekend, she always feels like her mother neglects her and she's upset about it. So, yeah, Na-bi wants to live differently, and it's clear who's a natural at it already.

Five. I can see them growing together. Yeah, Na-bi's mostly the one who needs to sort out her life, but she also can be a good influence to Do-hyeok. She gives him feedback on his videos (as an example) and he builds upon that.

From Na-bi herself: "I don't want to ever disappoint Do-hyeok." She sees him as such a good guy and always receives things from him. I interpret her line here as her desire to improve herself, to be better. And that's how a good relationship should be, right? It brings out the best out of each other.

That's it from me for now.

I guess some of the points up there can be different priorities for different people, and that's okay. As I've said at the beginning of this post, this is all mine, so feel free to disagree.

To me, Jae-eon is like this very strong gravitational pull: he's sexy, mysterious and very alluring, yet he displays oh-so-many red flags. It's all such a rollercoaster ride with him: very fun and thrilling, yet can also cause you extreme dread.

While Do-hyeok is like a sanctuary. He represents safety, stability and ease. With him, it's like strolling on a park somewhere under the sunshine: things feel warm, pleasant, and cozy.

Na-bi probably still feels the gravitational force of Jae-eon. It's hard to shake off completely on such a short span of time, but I hope she remembers that just like her namesake, she always have her own strength to fly and defy gravity.

I kinda wanna write a better version of tlh where Tatiana is still insane but there's no Belial bc that makes zero sense to me

In this version there would be:

Kamanna done correctly with actual genderqueer rep and not toxic relationships

Barbra and Oliver bc fight me she didn't die

Genie and Filomena bc I love them and all the lightwoods are queer

The gracelet doesn't even happen bc I refuse to write that

Grace is pretty much still the same but she breaks off their(hers and james') relationship bc she notices that he loves Cordelia

No bad James. He's not a shitty person to Alastair, and he doesn't treat Cordelia like a sex object

Anna puts a stop to Kellington and Matthew's relationship before it gets serious. She also tries to get him to stop drinking all the time

Alastair apologizes around seeing them again for the first time. The merry thieves are a little reluctant because of some of the things he did but they don't actively try to keep him away from events that they're at

Matthew notices how Alastair looks at Thomas and locks them in the sanctuary with Genie and Cordelia's help

Grace gets badly injured due to a mistake in necromancy and Christopher helps her treat it without letting people know

Lucie meets Jesse, and falls in love ofc, so in order to bring him back successfully she asks Malcolm to train her in using her magic

Matthew opens up to his mom about the incident. She doesn't blame him at all and instead apologizes for often putting her work before him

Matthew finds out about Charles and Alastair because he found Alastairxs break up letter to Charles

Matthew, the mother hen he is, decided to attempt to murder his older brother, only being stopped by James who had been there at the right time

Kamala ends things with Charles and tells Anna that she still loves them and hopes that she will give her another chance

Anna told her that they needed time to think, and that she is worried how Kamala's reputation will be affected if anyone besides their friends and Anna's family finds out

Kamala respects her decision and doesn't contact her until Anna's ready to talk about things

The merry thieves don't ignore Christopher and they actively listen and help him

The merry thieves also aren't terrible to Grace bc they realize she's been isolated alone with Tatiana and 1) she might not understand what's saying/doing is wrong or 2) that sometimes she's trying to push them away so her abilities don't accidentally make them do something

Good tid parents

James and Alastair being respectful to each other despite personal differences

Matthew, Alastair, Kamala, Christopher, and Grace being besties, or as I call them, the neglected squad

No fetishizing mlm/wlw

Domestic cuddles and taking care of the other one when they're sick

Jesse/Lucie/Matthew pairing bc I love them and I refuse to pick between lucie/matthew and lucie/jesse

Christopher teaching Grace the elements(at the time) on the periodic table

Tatiana dies at the end yay

It's very unpolished and I'm open to b hearing any feedback and/or suggestions that anyone may have

The idea came to me and I decided it would be best if I told someone before I forgot

hi, I'm sorry it took so long,but I wanted to properly answer this and I keep having either internet connection issues or little time

DON'T BE SHY, WRITE THIS 👀

In all seriousness tho... THIS IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION?!? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START I AM UTTERLY IN LOVE WITH THIS IDEA, I NEED IT

Look, I've been on the verge of rewriting ChoI, and I keep saying I want someone to write a TLH that will live up to its potential, but I've never actually came up with a proper idea for it, and you?!! YOUR BRAIN DARLING THIS IS GENIUS

ok hold up I'll just react to each and every single one so

yes please?!? I mean it started off so sweet in EEV?! Also actually genderqueer Anna and not dancing around the subject like CC is doing now?! That's what they deserve, and that's what we all deserve too

yesss please. also just,,,, Barbara, the feminine, not-wanting-to-fight-which-doesnt-make-her-less-badass queen that she is, getting the page space and appreciation she deserves

that's actually brilliant?!? it would be so great, just imagine the new girl arrives for her travel year and Genie is completely awestruck. I'm so invested in Joshwood it's difficult to imagine not having them, but this is actually the only valid alternative?!

ok that's fine. I think it could still happen and be done well, but tbh for now... the gracelet doesn't seem to have done anything relevant to the plot itself? I mean yeah it messed up James's life and Jordelia, but what did it give Belial? Tatiana? nothing. It makes no sense atm.

could be! maybe she's still encouraged by Tatiana to befriend/seduce him, but without the gracelet it doesn't work out? or maybe James somehow manages to realize that she's in danger and he actually like,,,, kidnaps her? idk idk

yes. YES. just,,,,z James is a sweet compassionate literature nerd who accidentally makes a good leader and he actually cares about people, and not just judges them from his high horse; he does still have hero syndrome, but he's kind and respectful and overall a good character

ANNA INTERVENES ABOUT KELLINGTON PLZ. PEOPLE ACTUALLY NOTICE MATTHEW'S STRUGGLES. JAMES DOES, TOO, BECAUSE THERE'S NO GRACELET.

ok yes, so what about: basically TMT don't harass Alastair and accept his apology, and realize they were also being stupid and mean at times at the Academy (especially Math). Matthew doesn't want to accept Alastair's apology, because of The Sin, but his behaviour alerts the rest of TMT and they inquire what's wrong and he tells them about the sin and that's how he later tells his parents (because his friends encourage him) and as you say, she just hugs him and reassures him it's not his fault; so after that Matthew slowly begins to heal and accepts it wasn't Alastair's fault, and also since they've kind of adopted/started including Alastair in things, he can't help but notice he's actually changed and he even starts to grow fond of him

then like you said, Matthew notices Thomas likes Alastair PLEASE HE SO WOULD. I'm not sure about the Sanctuary, if it actually happens (I'll get to why later on), but him and Lucie get really invested in the matchmaking schemes, they include Genie/Kamala because these two are friends with Alastair (both? Or at this point only Kamala?) but they also share some Moments during their scheming/talking about love 👀 (yes I'm a Fairdale shipper, I think it's time to expose myself lol)

Which leads me to (sorry I'm going off order rn) YES YES YES LUCIE AND MATH PLEASE. A FELLOW SHIPPER, HELLO, NICE TO MEET YOU. But since we're actually fixing him then we can give Jesse a personality and I'm totally down for poly Math/Lucie/Jesse

Lucie seeking Malcolm's help in secret, morally gray heroine style?!? no, it's probably not legal. but also has there ever been a Shadowhunter like her? If the Law doesn't expect such situations, it can't really forbid them...

Plz Matthew ready to strangle the carrot when he learns about their relationship, YES. sure, maybe he's still not the biggest fan of Alastair, but he's seen how much the boy's been through and starts to develop an attachment to him, and besides, NO ONE DESERVES TO BE GROOMED AND TREATED LIKE THAT. He's SO MAD at Charles, and he confronts him about it - remembering Kellington as he does, and it makes him sick to think his brother would do the same thing to someone. Maybe he gets very emotional over this and later finally tells his friends about Kellington? Maybe they didn't know before, only Anna did? So when they all realize what was happening then they comfort him etc? Or maybe it's just Alastair that learns now, and the others knew before, and they share a bonding moment over that?

Injured Grace seeking Kit's help is a genius idea I didn't know I needed

Kamanna giving each other time and space and deciding they need to question their relationship and figure out if it actually makes sense would be great. Anna realising she's very privileged and Kamala doesn't have those same opportunities, and also in general realising coming out should never be pressured or forced. Just,,,, Anna being self-aware and respectful towards Kamala. Well-written Anna. Plz. Also Kamanna is actually developed and not just "in love" because,,,,, they're attracted to each other? Maybe even remaining friends while Anna makes up their mind?

yeah just TMT being more compassionate and less judgy because they're not written by Judith so her bias isn't projected onto them

It's not a want, it's a need. They adopt Alastair and Grace eventually. Like, maybe not literally - although, Grace? - but you know what I mean.

I think they all should just have various friendship dynamics and switch between them, because people need more than one friend group

no fetishizing, no watching your brother make out with his lover, yessss

yes domestic cuddles, affection, taking care of wounds, all those things. plz.

Gracetopher bonding over science yes

obviously. or maybe she's imprisoned?!

ok, now for some more notes/my ideas etc., if you don't mind:

I actually think Belial could still be featured? After all, I don't think Tatiana could do much on her own, and since she seeks help from demons, it makes sense to include a Greater Demon as well. But Belial would have to be a stronger villain, written better; I'll think more about this

if that was the case, the serial killer plot could still happen, but be done better. and it would allow for a scenario I talked about with @littlx-songbxrd to happen, where it's Alastair who's falsely accused of murder. It creates a great opportunity to explore some things, because we know Alastair is much more likely to be seriously suspected, considering all the prejudices and bad rep his family has and all that

...what do you say to well-written Jordelia? 👀 Cordelia hasn't been obsessively in love with James since childhood, she only had a crush then. And now that they meet again, she's fond of him but not in love, not straight away. They're both grown up, and different people, but as they spend more and more time together, they fall in love. What if Cordelia gets to flirt with some other boys first? What then. What if she ends up choosing James, instead of going for the only boy she's ever had feelings for and idealized since childhood. What if we even make it friends-to-lovers and have James be a little jealous at some point?! but not in a possessive awful way, just "oh damn oh no"

Now I won't know peace until this exists BUT THANK YOU

Thank u so much! I hope it's not to much. I also love your content <3

I match you with...

jungkook!

even though Jungkook knows how independent you are and that you don’t need other’s acknowledgment or praise, he still always showers you with compliments

he loves when he receives compliments and praises from his other members, especially Hoseok

and he knows that even if you don’t need his praise, he does it to see the way your face lights up or how you try to brush it off even though he knows you love it

he greatly admires how even though sometimes you may struggle to talk to new people, you try your best to include new people when you can so that they can feel more comfortable

since you are one of the few people jungkook knows that also enjoys extreme activities, he’ll drag you around everywhere to do the things no one else will do with him

the other members always call jungkook crazy for the way he enjoys things like bungee jumping or the Nevis swing in New Zealand without even a little bit of fear

but when you tag along, equally enjoying it as much as jungkook and having even more fun because you’re doing it together, they can’t help but think that you two were really meant for each other

jungkook understands needing some time alone, especially after being around other people for a while

but for him, you’re an exception

spending the day with the other members or with your friends, jungkook is very attentive to you

and when he notices your battery start to run out, he’ll pull you away and take you home

if you don’t mind, you two will spend some quiet time together simply recharging

but if you’d rather be alone, he’s quick to understand and give you the space you need, reassuring you that he’s not hurt or offended and he just wants you to do what’s best for you

when you’ve had enough time to recharge and you finally come out of your room, jungkook will have snacks and a movie or kdrama ready if you’re up for it

you both have a shared love for romance kdramas

jungkook is a romantic and after watching many romance kdramas together, he always wants to recreate the scenes with you (life with jungkook is living a kdrama fr)

since you both enjoy physical activity and sports, he also takes you to the gym with him or to the pool whenever you two are staying at a hotel

he offers to teach you how to box since it's something he really loves and he feels reassured knowing that if he ever wasn't there to protect you, you can protect yourself whether you choose to use karate or boxing

he also thinks you look pretty badass while boxing, staring at you with the most adoring eyes as you throw punches at the pads he’s holding

he’s super supportive, giggling and giving you the most proud and adorable smile when you nail a combo he taught you

on the days that he’s feeling a little more competitive, he’ll challenge you to a game of badminton

when you play in pairs with all the members, all the other members let out groans and complaints, not wanting to verse the two of you

they claim that it’s unfair in every way possible: you are the 2 best at badminton, the 2 most competitive, and you have the best chemistry

he’s not the best cook nor is he the worst

he just doesn’t cook often but loves cooking with you to learn

eventually when he feels confident, he’ll surprise you by cooking and setting up a nice candle-lit dinner

and the little things he does like being mindful of your dislike for the texture of onions and peppers melts your heart
