Criminal Minds Masterlist

The air smelled of freshly brewed coffee. Against the wind, shades of crimson and orange swayed on the trees. Fallen leaves crunched underneath his feet to the cadence of his leisured steps.

Two deep breaths, in and out. Spencer Reid greeted autumn with the deep longing of an old friend.

Next to him walked a source of light bigger than the sun, jumping and bouncing excitedly on the sidewalk. Her tiny fingers emitted warmth inside of his hand. There was a skip to her step that reminded him of the innocence he had long lost. The innocence she now possessed.

Spencer loved this little girl beyond everything he had ever known.

"Puddle, Dee."

The tiny bundle of joy jumped to escape the small pool of water, grinning up at her father, who then began ruffling her hair until she evaded his onslaught with a shriek.

"Daddy?"

"Yes, Pumpkin?"

"You never told me how you met Mommy."

Spencer glanced down at the 6-year-old, dressed gorgeously in her favorite floral dress, complete with a sweater that had entailed a hearty discussion about humans' perception of cold. It was only after he bribed her with the promise of a chocolate cupcake from Wakey Bakey did Spencer finally convince her to wear the woolen piece of clothing.

His daughter stared at him with a radiant smile peeking out behind a curtain of hair. A smile which Spencer always argued had belonged to you, even though the rest of Diana Aurora Reid was the splitting image of her beloved father.

"Surely I've told you before, Dee."

"Nuh-uh."

"Of course I have."

"No, Daddy. You haven't."

"Pumpkin, you know I don't forget stuff ever," Spencer said, looking at the little girl who was swaying along to the rhythm of her footsteps. "I used to tell you that story all the time. Back when you were still a baby."

Just as predicted, Diana let out a dramatic gasp as if Spencer had uttered the most offensive thing known to mankind; like claiming the earth was actually flat, for example. Spencer couldn't contain his grin upon seeing her reaction.

"But Daddy, that was so long ago!"

"Do you not remember, Dee?"

Diana shook her head.

"Fine. But Mommy must've told you the story already, right?"

"She has, but--"

"But?"

"But I wanna hear it from you."

Little Diana knew that her father could never resist her puppy dog eyes, especially garnished with that adorable pout on top. Once upon a time, you declared it sickeningly cute and annoying whenever Spencer would pull the same trick on you. When Dee started doing the same to him, you had simply laughed and kissed his cheek, letting him get a sweet taste of his own medicine.

Spencer smiled at the young girl next to him, squeezing her nose and relishing in the gleeful squeal that echoed from her chest.

"What do you wanna hear, Pumpkin?"

Diana held her chin, seemingly deep in contemplation before deciding, "Everything, Dad! I wanna hear it from the start."

"The start, huh?" Spencer hummed thoughtfully, his mind already reeling back to the first moment he ever laid eyes on you.

The story began on yet another ordinary Friday night.

Luck was on the BAU's side when the team managed to wrap the case they had been working all week just before Friday afternoon. By the time the sun was setting, their jet was already high up in the sky, en route from the state of Delaware to Quantico, Virginia. Spencer was looking forward to going home at a reasonable hour for once--maybe catching up on the four reading materials he had promptly pushed aside after his team was called to Delaware to work on the latest case--but that plan dissipated when Derek Morgan suddenly appeared by his side.

"Drinks. Tonight. Everyone's coming, and I'm not taking no for an answer," Derek said before dragging a reluctant Spencer away with him, ignoring the protests that the younger man kept grumbling under his breath all the way to the team's favorite bar.

Spencer just hadn't known it yet, but later down the road, he would spend the rest of eternity thanking Derek Morgan for dragging him along that night.

The Friday night crowd at Shaw's was borderline brutal, but fortunately for the team, a booth in the corner became vacant the moment they stepped into the threshold.

Two hours later, Spencer's fellow teammates weren't even close to calling it a night. The last chorus of "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston had just finished blasting from the speakers when Derek sauntered back to the booth, twirling a flushed Penelope Garcia in front of him. Spencer slipped out of the booth to allow them in--preferring to stay on the most outer seat instead of crammed between his tipsy friends' bodies--before sitting down once more.

"Hey, Genius," Penelope called, waving her empty beer glass in front of Spencer's face. "Be a darling and get me a refill, will you?"

"Garcia--" Spencer quickly snatched the glass from her hand before she could send it smashing against someone's head, "--are you sure you want a refill?"

Penelope scrunched her nose. "Why do you ask?"

"Because I think you're plenty drunk already."

"I'm not that drunk," Penelope denied, giggling when an unexpected hiccup interrupted her slurred words. "Derek, tell the beautiful Doctor I'm not that drunk."

"She's not that drunk, Reid." Derek grinned. "While you're at it..."

Spencer could only sigh when Derek slid his own empty glass across the table.

It was past 10 o'clock at night, and the crowd of people in the establishment seemed to have doubled in the couple of hours that the team had been there. Spencer had to squeeze himself through the ocean of patrons flooding the bar, barely able to move his limbs without other people's arms or elbows bumping against his ribcage.

Spencer was waiting for the bartender to complete his order when he happened to glance towards his right, catching sight of the concealed panic that triggered every profiler bone in his body.

Any other person would have taken one look at your face and presumed that everything was alright, but Spencer knew better. He recognized the frantic movement of your eyes, the tight press of your lips, and the impatient knocking of your fingertips on the counter. He only caught the tail end of your voice before discreetly listening to what the man you were talking to had to say.

"--so, unfortunately, I can't."

"I told you, Baby. My Veyron runs at over 260 miles per hour. We can go to Red Clover Hill and get you back home safely by twelve. It's simple math," the guy slurred smugly.

"Actually, that's not true."

The drunken man turned around at Spencer's interruption.

"Excuse me?"

"The Red Clover Hill State Park is approximately 229 miles away from here. Though theoretically, you could drive your Veyron at its maximum velocity, which is around 268 miles per hour, it's very unlikely you'll be able to maintain that speed for the entirety of the ride, considering the terrain you would have to go through between here and there. The fastest you can probably get to the park is in 60 minutes, give or take, and that's being generous. You would have to drive back to D.C. as soon as you arrive at the park if you wish to be back by twelve. It's just realistically impossible."

The man in front of him couldn't be less impressed by Spencer's lengthy rant.

"And who the hell are you?" the drunken guy said, pinning Spencer with a stare that was clearly supposed to be intimidating.

Spencer didn't even flinch. "No one. Just a guy who happens to know a lot about... simple math."

Your loud cough tore Spencer's attention away from the drunk man and towards you, who looked ready to burst from the laughter you were holding underneath. Even under the terrible lighting of the bar, Spencer could still pinpoint the hint of unspoken amusement glimmering inside your eyes.

"Sorry, Bill," you said to the man. "I really do need to be back home by twelve tonight. Maybe some other time?"

Bill didn't need to be told twice. He received the message loud and clear.

Spencer watched the other man scurry away, tail between his legs, before your charming smile enraptured him once more.

"Thank you for that. I was beginning to think he might never leave."

"Happy to help." Spencer smiled thinly, scratching the back of his neck even though the spot wasn't itchy. "What did, uh, why did he want to take you to Red Clover Hill, of all places?"

"Oh. That was... partially my fault." You grinned innocently. "I didn't know he was gonna be an insufferable drunk when he came over, and I was in the middle of watching this."

You pulled out a silver tablet from your lap. Spencer took a peek at the screen, seeing what looked like a live feed of the night sky--over North Carolina, judging by the visible constellations on the vast scene--stamped with the day's date at the bottom of the footage.

"You're watching the Roux-Nell?" Spencer deduced after gathering the facts: the live feed of North Carolina sky, the mention of Red Clover Hill State Park that harbored one of the highest grounds in North Carolina, including a collection of some of the most sophisticated telescopes in the country; you must have been planning to view that night's sighting of the Roux-Nell comet, its first time since the last one in 1927, and only its third one in history.

"Yes! How did you... don't tell me. You're an avid astronomy fan, too?"

Spencer's responding smile only made you beam even brighter.

"Anyway, that guy earlier, Bill, he approached me and asked what I was watching. So, I started talking about the Roux-Nell and about how I wish I was at Red Clover Hill right now since everyone keeps saying it's one of the best spots to view tonight's sighting. I thought he was genuinely interested until he started talking about his Veyron this, his Veyron that. I didn't even realize until a whole five minutes later that he was talking about his car!"

When you finally finished explaining, your eyes locked with Spencer's hazel ones before you seemed to cower shyly.

"Sorry. I can get a little excited when I'm talking sometimes."

"No! Don't be, it was--" Spencer stopped himself before he could complete his sentence.

What was he about to say?

Insightful? Entertaining?

Endearing?

Eventually, Spencer opted to settle for something safe and simple. "I get that way too, sometimes. A lot of the times, actually. So you don't have to apologize."

The fire flickered back inside your gaze following Spencer's admission. It burned brilliantly beneath the kindness you radiated, forged by the sharp intelligence he could see shining out of your eyes.

"So--" Spencer cleared his throat, attempting to shift the conversation in order to distract his racing mind, "--why did you tell him you needed to be back home by twelve?"

"Oh, that? I told him I'm donating blood tomorrow morning, so I need to at least get seven hours of sleep for the night."

"That's a clever lie."

You tilted your head slightly at his statement. "What makes you think it's a lie?"

"Because you're here. Nobody drinks alcohol before they're supposed to donate blood."

Your eyes flashed with surprise. "Not bad, Mister. You're very perceptive."

Spencer shrugged, trying not to appear too flustered by your casual compliment. "It's what I do."

You raised an inquisitive eyebrow at his reply.

"I'm a profiler."

"Profiler?"

"With the FBI."

"FBI, huh?" You hummed, something akin to intrigue swirling in your eyes. "So, you study criminals? Trying to decipher their way of thinking, why they do what they do. Dissect their past history for any related trauma, maybe even pinpoint a psychological stressor that could trigger a criminal behavior, that kind of stuff?"

Upon hearing your response, it was Spencer's turn to be intrigued. "Exactly that kind of stuff. How did you...?"

Grinning sheepishly, you pulled a professional badge out of your pocket, holding it up in front of Spencer so he could see the emblem covering its surface.

"Edgewater Psychology Center," Spencer read the words aloud, understanding dawning on him as he found your eyes once more. "You're a psychologist."

"Guilty as charged."

Spencer couldn't fight off his amused smile. "That explains it, then."

"You know," you began, leaning further against the bar counter to shorten the distance between you and Spencer, "I've never met a profiler in person before. Most of my colleagues, they have consulted on a federal case at least once in the past few years, but the bureau hasn't yet contacted me so far."

"Really?" Spencer took a step forward, closing the distance by a mere inch. "Sounds like a big loss for us. We're idiots."

You bit down on your bottom lip to suppress a smile, your gaze flicking between Spencer's own lips and eyes. For the shortest of minutes, nothing else existed in Spencer's world but you; your smile, your scent, and your kind eyes. You were a magnet carved out of his wildest dreams, and Spencer, well, he might as well have been made out of the purest of irons.

But before Spencer could get lost deeper in your relentless gaze, a shout of his name slashed through the air from across the bar. Back at the booth, Derek was waving his hand frantically in the air, stopping only when Spencer signaled him to sit back down and that he was returning in a minute.

"I have to go." He smiled tentatively, apologetically.

"Oh?"

Spencer tried not to revel too much over the small dip of disappointment at the edge of your voice.

"My friends. They, uh--"

"Oh, no, it's alright. You don't have to explain," you told him gently. "See you around, Mr. Profiler. Hope you have a great night."

With that said, you went back to watching the live feed on your tablet while Spencer, begrudgingly, trudged across the room with two refilled beer glasses in his hands, back to where his friends--minus Rossi and Hotch who were conversing among themselves at one of the standing tables--were waiting.

"Finally," Derek groaned once Spencer slammed the glasses down on the table.

"Who was that?" Emily asked as he slipped into the booth.

"Huh?" Spencer followed Emily's gaze, finding you perched up at the very end of it. "No one."

"No one?" Emily's eyebrows rose. "She didn't seem like no one from where I was sitting."

Spencer took an insanely large sip of his leftover beer.

"Holy shit, you like her, " Derek muttered. "He likes her. Pretty boy's got a crush."

"No, I don't."

"Yeah? Tell that to those red cheeks of yours." JJ chuckled.

Instinctively, Spencer touched his own cheeks as if he could physically feel the change of colors on his skin.

"I'm just tipsy," he tried to reason.

A collective scoff reverberated through the entire booth.

"What's her name, Spence?" JJ asked.

When a full minute ticked by without so much as a grunt of acknowledgment from Spencer, Penelope reached out and slapped the man right across his shoulder.

"Ow!"

"You didn't ask for her name?!" Penelope exclaimed.

"It didn't come up!"

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard you say, Reid," Emily noted before sipping her margarita.

"Nope. I'm not having this. Not tonight. Look at me, Sunshine." Penelope grabbed Spencer's face in her hands, forcing him to stare directly into her glasses-rimmed eyes. "I'm not letting you spend the rest of the night like this. You will get your cute little tushy out there and talk to that girl. You will get her name and also her number, maybe even ask the nice pretty lady out while you're at it. Now, have I made myself clear?"

Spencer barely managed to swallow his nerves before he offered Penelope two tiny nods.

"Good. I don't wanna see your face back here if you're not at least pocketing her phone number. Now shoo."

Penelope sent Spencer flying across the bar with a dramatic stumble. By the time he reached your side, Spencer was nothing less than a stuttering mess and a thundering heart.

"Hi," Spencer breathed out once he found your welcoming eyes.

"Um, hi?"

"I'm Spencer."

"Okay... Spencer?"

"Reid. Spencer Reid." He cleared his throat. "Sorry, it's just... I realized while I was sitting over there--well, my friends actually made me realize--that I, uh, never got your name. Which, you know, of course I never got it because I didn't ask. So, I was coming here, wondering if maybe you'd like to give it... to me?"

You blinked once. Twice.

By the third blink, Spencer wished the earth would open up and devour him whole.

"You want my name?"

Spencer nodded.

"What are you planning to do with it?"

"Call you?" At your bemused expression, Spencer quickly elaborated, "Not call like call. I meant referring. Yep. That's it. Although, maybe if you want to, I would love to call you as well. Sometime. And perhaps, you know, ask you out... on a date?"

Spencer swallowed the lump of nervousness in his throat. In front of him, you were pretty, even with the conspicuous scrutiny in your eyes as they assessed Spencer as if he was some sort of an enigma. Embarrassment burned hotter through his veins with every second that passed by. He was merely two exhales of breath away from dashing out of the door when you finally spoke up.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

Smiling, you produced an old receipt seemingly out of thin air and asked the bartender to lend you a pen, scribbling something down as soon as you had it between your fingers. When the tiny piece of paper emigrated to Spencer's hand, the Cheshire cat in him jumped out once he noticed the ten digit numbers written neatly underneath a name he could only assume as yours.

"Will that be enough, Spencer Reid?"

"For now," Spencer replied before grabbing his wallet and shoving the paper containing your name inside. "I'll call you."

"You better."

After Spencer's departure, you returned your attention back to the tablet in front of you. Barely five minutes later, though, your serene watching session was once again interrupted. Only this time, it was by the ringing of your phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, this is Spencer."*

Surprised, you swiveled your head left and right, stopping once you spotted Spencer standing on the other side of the room. His eyes were trained towards you, and behind him, a booth of four people seemed to have directed their attention at you as well.

"Spencer?"

"I know this is very untoward," he began, "but would you like to go out with me?"

"Boy, you certainly don't waste any time at all, do you?"

"I believe it's called being efficient," he countered, making you laugh. "So, what do you say?"

"Sure," you answered, enjoying the way Spencer beam at you from across the room. "I would love to, Spencer."

A breeze blew gently against Spencer's face, caressing the tendrils of curly hair that had fallen over his forehead. Diana's little fingers started to grip his tighter as the wind strengthened.

"Did you take Mommy on that date, Daddy?"

"Of course," Spencer replied, reminiscing the exact day when he had picked you up in your apartment, sweat glistening on his palm as he clutched the bouquet of flowers in his right hand. "We went to see a Mark Rothko exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, and before I took her home, we stopped by Wakey Bakey to buy some lemon tarts."

Diana gasped. "Wakey Bakey?!"

The little girl's reaction compelled a chuckle from Spencer's chest. "Yes, Pumpkin. Wakey Bakey."

"What happened after that, Daddy?"

"What do you think happened after that, Dee?"

"Um--" Diana pursed her lips, deeply lost in thought, "--did you become girlfriend and boyfriend?"

"Yes, we did."

"And you got married?!"

Spencer laughed at Diana's apparent excitement over the prospect of her parents getting married. "We did, yeah, eventually. After I proposed to her."

"Oh! Oh! The proposal!" Diana exclaimed, jumping up and down in the middle of the sidewalk without a care in the world. Spencer had to tug her back towards him before she could harm herself or the other pedestrians. "Tell me! Tell me! Tell me about the proposal, Daddy!"

"You wanna hear the story about how I proposed to your mother?"

"Yes, please!"

Chuckling to himself, Spencer mumbled a quick fine before his gears had started turning towards a specific memory in his mind. Spencer was sure, even without his eidetic ability, there was no way he could have ever forgotten about the day in question.

The day you agreed to have him as your forever.

Spencer had fallen in love with you during the first date, right around the time of yet another one of his animated ramblings, where instead of shaming him to shut the hell up, you had simply stared at him in awe and said, "You're pretty when you talk."

The young agent was sure he couldn't get rid of the blush adorning his cheeks for at least an entire week.

By the time the fifth date rolled around, Spencer was absolutely certain that you were the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. It wasn't a surprise, then, that a few weeks before your first anniversary came up, Spencer had pocketed a diamond ring with a promise of forever on the tip of his tongue.

Combing the courage to take this historical leap was easy. Difficult was trying to conjure up the perfect proposal plan that he would deem worthy enough for someone like you. There were no rooms for mistakes. Spencer wanted everything to be perfect because he believed you deserved nothing less.

Which was why, in moments of desperation, Spencer ended up turning to his fellow teammates in the FBI for help.

"I don't know if I'm the right person to ask about this, Spence. Will only ever proposed to me after finding out about Henry, and we only got married after I thought he was gonna die on the field," JJ explained. "It was never the most ideal of situations, but I would never change a thing even if I could."

Unsatisfied with JJ's answer, Spencer proceeded to find the BAU's tech genius in her bat cave.

"Go big or go home, my friend," Penelope said following a 10-minute hysteria she erupted into upon learning about Spencer's intent to propose. "Splash out on the bottle. Don't hold back on the grandeur. Spend all of your savings if you have to."

"Garcia--"

"Fine, maybe not all of your savings. You should leave some for the wedding."

Spencer spent weeks mulling over Penelope's advice.

Working as an FBI agent didn't pay as well as most people thought it would, and Spencer's tendency to collect first edition books wasn't exactly an affordable hobby. It meant that as much as Spencer wanted a proposal filled with the greatest grandeur--just as Penelope had suggested--he didn't have a fat enough balance in his bank account to make his ideal proposal concept a reality.

And Spencer probably would have spent the limited fund in his savings down to its very last cent, had it not been for Derek catching him browsing through the internet for the cost of a hot air balloon ride.

"I just want to give her the perfect proposal," Spencer admitted after he finished revealing everything.

"Kid, it doesn't matter," Derek said. "Don't you see? She doesn't care about hot air balloons or any kind of grandeur. She only cares about you. There's no such thing as a perfect proposal. You're just using it as an excuse to put off asking her 'cause you're scared of what she's gonna say. But you don't need to. You two are so devastatingly in love, it's disgusting."

In the end, grandeur wasn't even present in the room when Spencer decided to pop the question.

On that particular night, Spencer arrived in his apartment just a few minutes before midnight. His aching muscles were calling for sleep as he toed his shoes off, but his footsteps soon ceased when he caught sight of his dimly lit living room.

You were fast asleep on the couch, face illuminated by the television light. Spencer's movements were careful as he knelt in front of you, studying the soft and hard edges of your features like historians would an ancient scripture. He couldn't help it when his fingers reached out on their own accord, brushing the softest of touches against the high point of your cheekbone. Inside its cage, Spencer's heart started to stir.

You were so beautiful.

Even after one year of being together, Spencer was often still taken back by how lovely you were. He adored every detail of your being, most fervently the scars that littered your skin in a constellation of stars. All of the places in your body where your scrutiny had wandered in a fleet of insecurity were the same places that Spencer wanted to worship for the rest of his life. In his eyes, you were eternally magnificent, and this thought clouded Spencer's mind as he went to shake your shoulder gently.

"Spencer?" Your groggy voice sounded meek in the comfort of Spencer's apartment, the same one he had been sharing with you since you moved in three months prior. Your lips tilted with the tiniest hint of a smile at the sight of him, and Spencer thought he would melt when your fingers instinctively reached for his face. "You're back."

"I'm back," he confirmed, leaving a trail of kisses on your palm. "Why aren't you in bed, my love?"

"I was waiting for you," you admitted. "I have something to say."

"Really? Me too."

"Hm?" Curiosity flared in the center of your eyes. "You first."

Smiling, Spencer leaned down to steal a quick kiss before saying, "Marry me."

Your breath hitched.

After a few seconds of silence, your nervous laughter filled his ears. "Right. That's a nice one, Spencer. Very funny."

"I'm not joking, sweetheart."

Spencer reached into the inside pocket of his satchel, pulling out the velvet box that had weighed down his bag by several grams for the past few weeks. Any remnant of sleep you still had in your eyes was instantly washed away the moment he opened the box to reveal a pretty ring sitting inside.

"I've had this for a while now," Spencer admitted. "I kept putting off asking you because I believed I wanted everything to be perfect, until Derek knocked some sense into my head and made me realize that I was just afraid of taking the leap. He's right, as always, but don't tell him I said that."

Spencer paused at your teary laugh, relishing in the melodic sound that made his heart nearly burst in two. "My love, I don't need the perfect proposal when you're the promise of a perfect life. Any life with you is the one I want to live for the rest of my time, and I want to start living that life from this point onward. What do you say, sweetheart? Will you marry me?"

Spencer never thought the word yes could sound so incredibly spectacular.

The celebration had started right away, commemorated by the shedding of clothes from each other's bodies, finalized by panting breaths and entangled limbs beneath rumpled sheets. You lay on the bed with your palm on Spencer's chest, his own hand tracing invisible patterns on the vast canvass of your skin.

Spencer watched as you stared at the ring circling your finger. "Do you like it? We can exchange it for a new one if--"

"Spencer Reid, don't you dare."

"Apologies, ma'am." He grinned, continuing the random patterns he was drawing on your skin before he spoke again, "By the way, you said you also have something to tell me."

You looked up at him with a blinding smile before scooting out of Spencer's arm and reaching for the nightstand. When Spencer saw what you had rummaged out of the bedside drawer, Spencer thought his heart had forgotten how to beat.

"Is that--"

"Surprise," you murmured giddily, handing over the object in your hand into Spencer's awaiting palm. "I found out yesterday, but I wanted to tell you in person."

Spencer sat up on the bed, staring with disbelief at the small item in his hand. He only realized he had started to cry when a drop of tears fell down, blurring the two tiny pink lines in his vision.

"This is... you're..."

"I'm pregnant, Spencer," you professed.

Just an hour earlier, Spencer thought the word yes was the best thing he could ever hear falling from your mouth. But as he held you in his arms, his lips catching yours once more in a heated kiss, Spencer realized that you had many more surprising admissions waiting to be said out loud.

And Spencer couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life listening to every single one of them.

"Daddy, are you saying I was already in Mommy's belly when you proposed to her?"

"Yes, you were, Pumpkin," Spencer said, smiling at the blatant curiosity in Little Dee's eyes. "You were a surprise we didn't see coming."

Diana's responding smile was a picture of satisfaction. The father-daughter pair continued to walk down the street until Dee's voice tore through the silence once again, "Daddy?"

"Hm?"

"I thought you said a man and a woman can only make babies after they're married."

Spencer's footsteps halted on the pavement.

The silence must have stretched for only a partial of a minute, but the expectant stare Dee was nailing against his face, along with the internal panic that had short-circuited Spencer's brain made it seem as if the world had skidded into a standstill. Frantic eyes darted everywhere for a chance at rectification, and Spencer couldn't stop the words from tumbling off his lips when he saw the worn-down sign of a florist up ahead.

"Dee, would you like to buy some flowers for Mommy?"

The little girl squealed an excited yes before skipping the few steps left towards the flower shop. Spencer let out a relieved breath at having narrowly escaped such a harrowing crisis.

Once Spencer stepped into the shop, a multitude of fragrances immediately enveloped his surroundings. Diana was lingering back and forth around the vibrant displays when Spencer approached, her tiny eyebrows frowning in the most adorable way as she assessed the rows of flowers in front of her.

"Have you decided yet, Pumpkin?"

"Can we get some of Mommy's favorites, Dad?" Diana requested, pointing her tiny finger at the display of flowers she knew to be your favorites. "And then we can add some of these daisies, too!"

Spencer couldn't fight the smile blossoming on his face as he asked the florist to assemble a bouquet made out of daisies--Dee's favorite type of flowers, the same one printed all over the dress she was wearing--along with your favorite flowers in the center. Diana stared in awe at the deft work administered by the florist, her mouth forming an "O" once the bouquet was wrapped and ready to go.

"Do you think Mommy will like them, Daddy?"

"I know she will, Pumpkin," Spencer answered earnestly, his memory replaying that first time he had come home bringing the same arrangement of flowers in his hand.

Spencer came home to the apartment in utter disarray, and yet, it still was the best view that he had ever witnessed in his entire life.

Ever since his office was transformed into a nursery, the books he previously kept in there had to be relocated to the living area. Most of them had gone by now--some donated, and some others sold at second-hand bookstores--but piles of them still littered in various corners of the room.

Apart from his mountainous collection of books, small trinkets also covered every available surface of the place. From the empty nursing bottles in the kitchen sink to the breast pump on the counter, and the tiny socks on the coffee table to the pacifier jammed between the sofa cushions; every single one of them contributed to the mess that his apartment had become. Yet as he paused to inspect every inch of the place, Spencer couldn't find any other emotion besides warmth flooding his chest.

Muffled footsteps padded towards the living room before you appeared from the hallway with a freshly bathed Diana in your arms. As soon as your eyes locked with his, the crease between your eyebrows automatically vanished.

"You're home."

"I'm home." Spencer grinned before welcoming you into his embrace.

He stole a quick kiss from your lips before bending down to smother a 7-month-old Diana who yelped in glee when Spencer began attacking her with kisses all over her face.

"She's been fussy since yesterday," you told him. "I think she missed you."

"Did you, baby? Did you miss Daddy?" Spencer cooed. "I can take her for a few while you rest. You look tired. Are you feeling okay?"

"Gee, Spence. What a way to a girl's heart."

"You know what I meant, sweetheart."

"It's fine, Spencer. I just got a headache, but it's all better now that you're here."

Spencer smiled as he kissed your free knuckles. "If it's any consolation, you're still the most heavenly creature that I've ever laid eyes upon."

A sneaky laughter rumbled past your chest. "Fine. I'll let you go just this once," you said before letting Spencer take a yawning Diana into his arms.

As Spencer carried Dee towards the couch, you noticed a bouquet of flowers lying next to the kitchen sink in the corner of your eye. You glanced at the young genius with a discreet smile before aptly transferring the flowers into a vase.

"These are pretty," you commented, joining your family in the living room. You put the vase in the middle of the coffee table amidst the books and various baby clutters before dropping yourself against Spencer's side.

"They're your favorites."

"I know. As usual." You smiled affectionately. "And daisies. You've never bought me daisies before."

Spencer's eyes gleamed. "I bought the daisies for Dee."

"Oh?"

"I think daisies are gonna be her favorite."

"You do, huh?"

"One hundred percent."

Spencer's eyes looked up from Diana to you then, whose own gaze had been kept intently on your husband and daughter. Darkness embellished the area underneath your eyes, and Spencer couldn't help but count the lines of fatigue that seemed to have multiplied on the contours of your face. Even then, Spencer thought you had never looked more stunning than you did at that moment; as his wife, the mother of his child, and the woman who owned the sole reign of his heart.

Confusion wandered into your eyes when you noticed Spencer's stubborn stare. A surprised squawk escaped your lips as Spencer unexpectedly captured them in a rather long kiss. When he pulled back, Spencer looked the very image of a man who was drunk on love.

"I love you. You know that, right?" Spencer confessed as he squeezed your hand twice in his palm.

"Spencer, what's going on with you?"

"Nothing. I just--" he paused for a chuckle, seemingly trying to find the right words to say before he could continue, "--I owe my life to you, sweetheart. For all of the times you have pulled me out of the darkness, to the light you've brought into my life. You and Dee are the reason I keep on breathing. Without the two of you, I'm nothing."

"Spencer," you breathed out. "Where did all of this come from?"

"I don't know." He shook his head. "I just wanted you to know how grateful I am to have you in my life and that you've brought Dee into ours. Everything worth fighting for about me is because of you."

The telltale signs of tears began to cast a shadow over your eyes. You pressed your hand to Spencer's cheek, feeling the rugged sensation of his newly shaved stubble stroking your skin. Spencer melted into the warmth of your touch.

"You're giving me far too much credit here, Spencer," you whispered. "Everything you are has always been your own doing rather than mine. All I ever did was cheer you on from the sideline. You would still have become the person that you are today even if I weren't in your life."

Spencer physically shuddered at your last statement. "Don't say that. I can't even begin to imagine a life without you in it."

"Well, even if such day does come, when I won't be a part of your life anymore, I know you're gonna be just fine. Because you'll have Dee with you--" you stroked Diana's head lovingly, "--and I know that the two of you will give each other enough love and strength that you won't even notice I'm not around anymore."

The frown on Spencer's face deepened.

"You're not allowed to leave me. Ever," Spencer decided childishly.

"Fine. I won't. But you have to remember--" you brought your palm towards Spencer's chest, feeling each rhythmic thrum of his heart which seemed to flutter ever so slightly underneath your fingers, "--I'll be right here if you need me. Always."

Spencer's own hand landed on top of your hand, entwining your fingers together without ever tearing his fierce gaze away from yours.

"Always."

The sun was shining down in flimsy rays when Spencer and Dee finally walked past the familiar gate. Glimmers of gold sneaked past the reddish leaves on branches before falling upon the ground.

Next to him, Diana was humming a melody that Spencer recognized from one of your specially curated playlists. Her little hands struggled to carry the gigantic bouquet that she couldn't wait to present to you. It didn't matter that the bouquet itself was nearly as tall as she was, Diana still refused to let Spencer assist her.

"I wanna give Mommy the flowers myself," she had told Spencer in a manner that reminded him too much of your own stubbornness.

After a couple more minutes of walking, Spencer's reverie was soon broken by the excited squeal coming from the little girl beside him.

"Mommy! Mommy!"

Diana dashed into a sprint before words of warning could fall from Spencer's lips. He watched intensely as Diana's little feet moved upon the ocean of fallen leaves on the ground. Her tight grip around the bouquet never wavered even when she ran up the grassed hill, all the way towards the destination in her mind.

All the way towards the headstone with your name written on it.

When Spencer finally got there, Diana was kneeling next to your grave with panting breaths, but the smile stretched on her lips was the biggest one that Spencer had ever seen.

"Hi, Mommy. I'm back with Daddy," Diana announced. "Daddy, go say hi to Mommy."

"Hello, my love." Spencer smiled before taking a seat next to his daughter.

"We brought flowers, Mommy! They're your favorites. I added daisies to make them prettier." Diana beamed before putting the bouquet against your headstone. "You're not gonna believe what happened in class yesterday!"

As Diana animatedly began to recount the funny incident in her classroom--somehow involving a boy named Patrick and a cup of slushie--Spencer watched over her with a permanent smile on his lips. The little girl loved to talk--a trait she obviously acquired from both of her parents--and Spencer knew just how much you used to adore listening to Dee's rambling at any time of day.

It must have been at least ten minutes later when Diana's story eventually whirled to an end. Her attention instantly shifted to the family who was paying their own respect just two headstones over, a small squeak of puppy tumbled from Dee's lips before she dashed towards the boy with a golden retriever pup beside his legs.

Spencer shook his head affectionately at his daughter's antics.

"I know we were just here a couple of weeks ago, but Dee wanted to tell you about the slushie incident herself," he said. "And, well, I can never deny the chance to visit you, love."

A loud laughter boomed a few feet away. Spencer watched as Diana ran around jubilantly with the little boy and his dog. The boy's father waved at Spencer from the distance, which he replied with an acknowledging nod.

"She's getting so big, sweetheart. Sometimes, I just wanna stop time and keep her as my little girl forever. I wish you were around to see how much she's grown." Spencer smiled ruefully. "I can't believe that it's been more than a year since you were gone."

Spencer thought back to the last few moments you spent on this earth. How just a few months prior, the doctor had advised you to stop the treatment and take a rest at home instead.

The chemo isn't working, was what the doctor was really saying. You should be spending as much time as you can with your family.

So, that was exactly what you ended up doing.

Spencer had quit his job at the FBI shortly after you were diagnosed, opting to take a full-time job of teaching where the hours were more humane and reasonable. The day you were discharged from the hospital, Spencer made a vow to himself to make every day as memorable as he could, and he was keeping true to it. Those last few months were filled with countless road trips, an unforgettable weekend at Disneyland, and visits to various museums across the states. Spencer made sure that each day was charged with love and laughter, a perfect day culminated by an equally perfect night, with you falling asleep in the safety of his arms.

Until one morning, when Spencer woke up to your cold and lifeless body lying by his side.

"Do you remember what you told me once? About how Dee and I would never notice you were gone because we would have each other?" Spencer recalled. "You were wrong about that, sweetheart. Your absence is the first thing I notice every time I start my day. The moment I open my eyes, I notice that you aren't lying next to me on the bed like you're supposed to be. I notice the cold imprints on the sheets where your warmth used to linger. I notice you in every corner of our home, but most importantly, I notice you in Dee."

Spencer glanced at his little girl, playing and running around a pile of fallen leaves with her newfound friend and his pet dog. His heart floundered at the scene.

"Everyone keeps saying that she's an exact copy of me, but I see glimpses of you in her more and more every single day," Spencer admitted. "She's the only anchor I have left now, my love. Without her, I'm lost. I try constantly, with whatever strength still resides in me, to give her everything she would ever need. Shower her with every ounce of love I have left in my heart."

A lone tear cascaded down Spencer's cheek. He quickly erased it away with a wry chuckle.

"What I would do to have a minute with you again, my love. I hope you know I'd give my heart and soul to have those extra sixty seconds just to stare at your beautiful face. To hold you in my arms one last time. I try my best to fill the void that you left for Dee's sake. Some days are difficult, and I keep thinking about how much better it would be--how much better off she would be--if it were you here with her instead of me. I'd trade places with you if I could. I fear that all of me would never be enough for her, because she needs you. We both do."

Spencer inhaled a breath, forcing the imminent wave of tears from breaking the dam he had masterfully crafted since the moment you were gone. He promised a long time ago never to allow the grief to consume him.

He still had his daughter to think about.

"I'm beginning to think people are wrong when they say time makes everything better. The pain never lessens. It just becomes bearable with time. Dee makes it bearable," Spencer confessed. "I can only hope I'm doing the same for her."

"Daddy! Daddy!"

Spencer hurriedly wiped away any sign of tears from his face before he caught Diana in his arms. Her innocent laughter was a balm to the gaping wound in his chest, and Spencer allowed himself to bask in the bliss that his little girl brought to his life.

"What is it, Pumpkin?"

"Look what Brian's mom gave me!"

Spencer looked at her tiny hand to see a plastic daisy ring gracing one of her fingers. He looked up towards the family in the distance, mouthing a thank you to the mother who waved him off with a smile.

"It's very pretty, Dee."

"Like me?"

The young dad chuckled. "Yes, very much like you."

"Like Mommy, too?"

Spencer's smile softened. "Very much like Mommy, too. Yes."

The exhilarated smile Diana rewarded him could probably light up the entire state of Virginia at night.

Five minutes later, Spencer found himself bidding you a goodbye, with Diana promising to visit again very soon to give you an update over the slushie incident that supposedly got Patrick in a lot of trouble at school. The air was getting even chillier as the two walked the path they had taken after arriving at the cemetery. Spencer tugged Diana closer to his side once he saw the familiar gate lurking a few feet ahead, keeping her safe while simultaneously seeking her warmth.

"Daddy?" Dee's voice arose shyly once the pair had reached the main street.

"Yes, Pumpkin?"

"I miss Mommy," she admitted quietly.

Spencer's fingers instinctively tightened for a split second around his daughter's hand. "I know you do, Pumpkin. You just need to remember, even if she's not physically with us anymore, that she's always watching over you and keeping you safe."

Diana nodded her head understandingly. "Do you miss her, too, Daddy?"

"Every day, Dee." Spencer smiled, glancing back towards the gate of the cemetery behind him. "Every single day."

౨ৎ ⋆｡˚ comedy, (toman) manjiro , tall!reader , gn!reader , overall a bunch of fluff and manjiro loving his taller partner.

౨ৎ ⋆｡˚ original requester - @r0z0 i hope you enjoy!

❤︎ mikey with a tall reader would actually be so funny.

❤︎ the man himself is pretty short, however his best buddy draken is rather contrasting in height, so people towering over him isn’t anything new for him.

❤︎ i can imagine him looking up at you the first time you guys met, in absolute AWE.

❤︎ he’s munching on some snack that draken paid for earlier, crumbs on his cheek, his abnormally wide eyes glimmering.

❤︎ you just stare down at him like ‘wtf this kid staring at” before asking him if he needed anything.

❤︎ obviously, being as straight forward as manjiro typically is, he basically goes:

❤︎ “you’re pretty cute, can i have your number?” before smirking at himself in pride, knowing he’s smooth.

❤︎ “alright i’m down” you nonchalantly reply, making him take a step back. you ACCEPTED??

❤︎ draken was equally as shocked. someone? cute as you?? REALLY??

❤︎ anyways he took you on a date and suddenly you two are besties LMAO. (and partners but let’s be real, a relationship with mikey is like a bestfriendship)

❤︎ mikey adores you! he especially loves crawling into your lap and being huddled in your embrace, hogging all your body warmth.

❤︎ he’s 100% the little spoon once y’all are comfortable sharing a bed. he loves protecting you, however he also appreciates having you spoon him from behind. it feels as though he can let his guard down a little.

❤︎ when out on dates, you hold his hand like an overprotective parent. y’all go to a restaurant or an ice cream stand and you, being the pants of the relationship, cover for him <33.

❤︎ mikey loves hand holding, if you couldn’t tell. having your hand in his does make him look like a little kid (despite being BUFF) , but if he needs to yank you away or grasp you tighter, having your hand in his keeps you safe.

❤︎ he gives you puppy dog eyes everytime he wants something. whenever you guys go out to grab snacks or take away and he’s too broke to pay for his part, he just gives you his big ol’ baby eyes and your card magically swipes on his transaction (how can you possibly refuse your boyfriend anyways).

❤︎ mikeys friends all worship you LMAO. ofc he brings you to every toman meeting (bc he can’t function correctly without you) and you just chill on the side while he acts all tough and mighty.

❤︎ and ofc, you meet all of his friends as you go.

❤︎ chifuyu and baji LOVE you! they always end up stealing you away from mikey whenever he’s distracted to fool around. you, being you, ofc go off and get up to mischief with them. mitsuya appreciates your protective side when it comes to mikey. he knows that the blonde can protect himself but sometimes, you need someone else to be there for you.

❤︎ you and draken are auto besties. the two of you are mikeys most trusted, his right hand units if you will. takemichi is a newer addition to your group, however he does like your presence! smiley and angry both like your big sibling energy and the three of you make a good trio when nessessary, ESPECIALLY if you’re apart of toman.

❤︎ overall, mikeys very VERY tall s/o is beloved by all around them, and mikey wouldn’t change anything about you for the world <3.

If I wanted to listen to your music for the first time, what songs would you recommend starting with?

haunted. this is my most popular song bc it was on wtnv and is probably why you're asking this. it is melancholic and, for lack of a better word, haunting. generally in my music there are Wholesome Songs and Sad Songs and this song is pretty much the perfect Sad Maya Song™.

warned. this song is so special to me. i wrote the first part of the song shortly after meeting devin, when we were dating but didn't know we were dating and i finished writing it after we got engaged. meeting devin was such an electric moment for me--i'd never felt so immediately connected to someone so fast and i was utterly convinced it wasn't mutual.

fall in line. dark and kinda angsty but i like the interplay of vocals i did here. this song is about being exhausted in relationships, both romantic and platonic, and feeling dogged by the need to present myself "authentically" to strangers and what that even means.

that way (feat @everydaylouie). i didn't get to do a lot of music collabs outside of sometimes playing with my brother so this song is always special to me. i wrote it for monsterpop and it's fun and light hearted and louie added an amount of polish and fun to the production that overall i think my music lacks.

winter heart. a simple song, but a sweet one. i wrote this song when devin and i first started to get more serious so i'll always think of it fondly.

fool. i just really like the backing vocals i did here and the over all vibe manages to still feel warm even tho it's a song about failure, anxiety and imposter syndrome.

best i can. another devin song. you can tell just how smitten i was (and still am) just by listening. if you listen closely you can hear how often i smiled while recording this song. also contains one of the few key changes in my music haha

you don't love me. another quintessential Sad Maya Song™. i just think the chorus on this song has such a good flow to it, in a sad girl kind of way. the production is pretty minimal and in some ways i wish my production skills had been better so it could be flushed out more, but maybe that's also a strength of this song. idk. either way, it's still one of my favorites and i got very emotional while recording it.

begin. you can tell by the audio quality and the attempted Alt Girl Voice that this is an old one, but it's still very dear to me. i wrote this after coming to terms with how incredibly bi i was/am and it's a top tier Wholesome Maya Song IMO.

a song for the terminally shy (who don't know how to deal with their feelings). one of my super super old songs and one that is still very dear to me despite its age. i wrote it about leaving home for college and about accepting having to let go or accept distance in some of my relationships, including a crush i had at the time. at the time this was my favorite song i had ever written (i hadn't written many) and my love for it and my conviction that it was good, actually, is what made me continue to write music. there's also a special secret duet version of this song with the person i had a crush on at the time. it's not perfect but it's pretty cute.

I absolutely loved your post about how the seven would react to meeting wills older sister, how do you think they would react meeting wills older sister who gives off like total milf vibes🫢😂

lmao cute yes i can do that while taking a day off from existing bc i gave myself slight food poisoning

----------------------------------

Percy Jackson Has to be reminded to close his mouth. Re-evaluates his entire life because how could he have missed you when you're so damn fine. Might flirt a little, gets red if you flirt back, does his absolute best to not freak out if you touch his arm or something. Will shamelessly ask Will what your deal is.

Annabeth Chase Has never been so sure that she's not straight. Immediately falls a little bit in love with you. Finds herself wanting your approval and subtly bringing up her achievements to see the impressed look on your face. Smacks Will in the arm if he raises his eyebrows at her.

Jason Grace Does not know how to act. Has forgotten how to be a normal person. Reminds himself that you're Will's sister but also cannot get over how stunning you are. Blue-screens every time you ask him a question or direct your sentence to him.

Piper McLean Needs to know more about you. Is fully aware that she has issues and does not care, you are too attractive for those issues to be on her mind. Already knew she wasn't straight, but this is like a reaffirming of her sexuality. Will daydream for the rest of the week about you.

Leo Valdez Falls over himself trying to make you laugh. Is suddenly prepared to fall of a cliff if it will make you smile. Is not aware of his issues and is not aware of how much of a puppy dog he comes off as when he's trying to impress you. Will smacks him upside the head to get him to act like a normal person.

Frank Zhang Error 404, Frank not found. All that's left is a stammering blushing mess who goes bright red when you so much as look at him. Wants to both run far away to get away from this embarrassing situation and never leave your side, it's very confusing.

Hazel Levesque Bunny eyes attached to you at all times. Big smiles and giggles when you look at her or talk to her. Will points out she's likely too young. Does not care, is infatuated and dizzy with a new crush. You patted her on the head once and she had to go and sit down somewhere to recover.

thank you for requesting, i hope you like it!

A date to Build-a-Bear with your Scarlet Hollow SO

Includes: Stella, Avery, Kaneeka, Oscar, Reese, and Wayne

Note: idk, earlier this year I got sad I couldn't just. Go to build a bear. So I started writing these. Reader is hardly mentioned but I did write it in the spirit of you being there.

Stella

• No clue how you got her there, but hey, you did it.

• Gretchen's going with you by the way, that's a given but I think important to mention.

• Go around Halloween, hopefully someday they'll have the mothman bear we've all dreamed of.

• Stella has so many ideas for what to make, though.

• Get a Halloween themed bear- no wait, a dog- no wait, this one looks really fucking stupid it's perfect- no wait-

• You have to go multiple times so she gets every bear she can think of.

• If she can make one look like Gretchen or a cryptid that'd be perfect

• But she'd also love to make a really screwed up, funny looking bear. Like-

• "Oh yeah, I noticed this one's missing an eye so. I'm getting this one." "This shirt has a typo on it, that's so funny i love it" "do you think they'll let me mismatch the shoes??" "a HOOK HAND ACCESSORY?! Well obviously I need that"

• You would not be able to tell a grown woman made this bear.

• She'll DIY it clothes later, it has it's own little wardrobe of wacky outfits

• She'll buy accessories she thinks Gretchen could wear.

• Lets Gretchen lick the heart before it's put in the bear

• Might get a sound effect heart but worries it'll be too annoying.

• If she got a scentiment it'd probably be the pumpkin one or... pizza? Because that existed, apparently?

• Names it something silly- an old man name like Harlod. Or give it a cryptid name.

• Absolutely fucking loved the date, she's already planning the next trip there.

--

Avery

• They'll think the idea is very cute.

• Make sure to go around spring/saint Patrick's day.

• Wants a flower print or green bear. (The point of going near saint Patrick's day is too ensure there's a shamrock bear to meet these requirements)

• Chooses the lavender scentiment for their bear.

• Will do that thing where you record a message for eachother's bear. They'll do a simple "I love you *kiss noise*" and it makes you swoon. They are SO perfect.

• You make a plant pun for their's, they love it no matter how stupid it is.

• They somehow make doing the heart ritual look cool?

• Finds a plant shirt and the bear's fate is sealed: they're gonna match :o

• The bear will be just as stylish as them (maybe more, I keep imagining Avery giving it a monocle accessory)

• Either names it after a plant- Like Magnolia or Clover- or names it the same way they name their plants (assuming they name their plants bc... who doesn't?)

• Very happy with the date and their bear, will show it off to everyone. Maybe it has a place at the diner- if they can find a spot garunteed to not get maple syrup spilled on it, anyways.

--

Kaneeka

• She probably came up with the idea, but feels a little silly about it at first because it seems so childish.

• Go around Halloween to once again ensure the pick of a spooky lil bear

• She takes it very seriously- this is gonna be the best goddamn bear ever.

• There are 2 wolves fighting inside Kaneeka: The goth and the nerd.

• So she's having a difficult time choosing between whatever collab buildabear is doing at the time (superheroes, sonic, Mario, whatever) or making the coolest goth bear you've ever seen.

• Please just let her get both 🥺

• Thin mints cookie scentiment for one bear, coconut for the other.

• Will do a cute sound effect for her bear. She would suggest recording one for eachother, but she doesn't know what to say.

• She's not mismatching the collab bear, it's getting the accessories that was made for it.

• The goth bear will get the nicest outfit ever, in all blacks and dark colors.

• She'll also DIY it clothes to fit her aesthetic better

• Gives it a very pretty, elegant name, like Celeste or Audrey

• The other bear, she fills it out the exact way she would for the character, which just feels like extra work.

• "Why does Batman need a birth certificate? He's batman." Proceeds to do the right thing and names it Bruce Wayne and changes the birthday to the right birthday.

• Thinks it was the perfect date, and is really happy you went together.

--

Oscar

• You'll be forced to take Rosalina and her friends with you, so not really a date. He'll see it as more of an outing for the kids, but it's kinda fun to participate.

• Gets the classic bear with brown, curly fur.

• Won't get a scent or a sound effect.

• Is a bit embarrassed to do the heart ritual, but turns it around quickly, joking that a teddy bear's heart transplant is no laughing matter.

• Won't want to get accessories because those cost money, but if you insist because you're paying, he'll cave and give it a dapper little suit and glasses. Maybe a top hat. A mini book to read. It'll be so cute.

• Gives it a bear pun or a book reference that no one gets for a name.

• Is very tired at the end of the day from being dragged around the mall by a bunch of tweens, but he gets home and still thinks it was a good day. Probably falls asleep with the bear. Though that will sadly be the only time, he keeps it on a night stand or bookshelf so it won't fall off and roll under the bed. He'd have a heartattack if he lost it.

--

Reese

• He never went to build a bear as a kid so this is gonna be so great for him.

• Picks out a very soft, cute bear

• Maybe like, the patchwork one with the sewed on heart? Idk why, if just seems right.

• He feels a little out of place, he's not used to cute things. He just sorta picks whatever he vibes with, and it comes out pretty cute and simple.

• He holds it very gently, like it could tear or fall apart at any second.

• Might buy a black or white shirt he can paint later, or a sweater so it doesn't get cold 🥺

• Paint brush accessory

• Blueberry scentiment, doesn't need any sound effects (unless there's a construction noises one LMAO)

• Doing the heart ritual heals his inner child

• Understuffs his bear just a little bit so it's softer

• Names it something absolutely BADASS "Nightmare" "Knight of Dreams" something awesome and cool idfk he's the creative one not me

• Has so much fun, might get sentimental about it. You can pry that bear from his cold dead hands.

--

Wayne

• . . . Why?

• A goop monster walks into a kids store. Screaming and crying insues. And then you're alone in the store.

• The employees might even be out of there, they don't get paid even for this.

• He's just happy to be with you, does not give 2 shits about the teddy bear at first. He adores seeing you having fun, is happier that you're not doing something dangerous.

• DO NOT let him touch the damn bear until it has some washable clothes on!! He can POINT at what he wants!! >:(

• Gets a simple bear, either a very old fashion basic one or just gets the same as you.

• Snazzy little jacket to parallel his. He's fine with you picking out the accessories for him though.

• You make him do the heart ritual even with no employees around to force you to

• Which ends up getting pus and blood in the bear. . . Gross!

• Stuff his bear full of scentiments. No, the scent doesn't matter just- just put them all in. Yeah, it's just to rival the smell of rotting flesh.

• Wayne gives it a very specific name, one you get the feeling comes from someone he knew long ago...

• Since the employees left, please just. Leave some money on the counter. It's okay if you don't pay for the 15 scentiments stuffed inside Wayne's bear. Yeah, no, it's really fine, trust me.

• Wayne will cherish this bear forever, and is extremely careful with it, even though it inevitably gets dirty a few days later anyways.

song recommendation: Glue Song - Beebadoobee and Clairo

- First of all, I think this man would be OBSESSED WITH YOU

- Literally the first time you guys meet, he swears it’s love at first sight.

- He finds y’all’s height difference absolutely adorable. He loves it so much. He’ll never make any short jokes to tease you or anything like that (bc he knows what that’s like) but he’ll always give you a compliment on how cute you are to him.

- he loves spoiling you and taking care of you anytime he can. Giving you the best gifts, taking you on all sorts of extravagant trips, and doing it all with a big bouquet of your favorite flowers.

- You are his COMPLETE MUSE! I feel like he would definitely be the type to write you endless love songs. Literally the first time you guys met he’s already got ideas for his next song. Everytime he plays music, all he can think of is you.

- He’s definitely picking you up and carrying you with those big arms of his. (imagine the after workout pics that he’d definitely be sending you 😵‍💫)

- Whenever you start to feel insecure or overthink, he’s always gonna be there with open arms for you. He’s probably the best guy to talk to about these things. He’s always gonna validate your feelings no matter what

- He’s more than happy to be the extroverted one in your guy's relationship. He does love to see you reach out and be extroverted sometimes too though! He just knows how fun you can be and loves seeing that side show.

- The first time he ever saw your drawing he was amazed. He thinks you’re so talented. Every time you draw he will sometimes sit and watch you attentively doing it. He probs keeps one of your drawings in his back pocket just for funzies.

- Same for your paper crafts! He thinks those are the neatest things EVER

- I have the sweetest image of him, whenever you guys are together alone just hanging out, he’d love to sit there and draw a heart around your birthmarks, i know it sounds a bit silly but he’d have so much fun doing it haha.

- he’s playing with your dog just about every chance he gets, he thinks they’re the cutest thing ever

- Both of you really like animals, so I could definitely see you guys going to the zoo or something fun like that for a date!

- For your birthday or valentines, maybe even for your anniversary he’s probably going to write you the most heartfelt poem ever (tears would def be shed over it knowing him)

- He would find ice skating such a CUTE idea for a date. Like you helping him visibly struggle, while you’re gliding with ease on the ice

- HE WOULD LOVE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES WITH YOU!! You and him are for sure that one couple who stays up late into the night competing against each other on a game.

- You want someone who’s patient and good at listening? Listen up then, cause this guy would really be the best for you. You guys would really have the best time together all around, and I'm sure you’d make him the happiest person in the world!

I hope you enjoyed this lovely! You deserved it! 💗💗

[shivsroycestbaby]

the thing w kenshiv is they have that like... theyre both the golden children in logans eyes so they have this special little fucked up connection between the two of them where they both understand and talk privately about how it is being the ones most scrutinized but also being the best smartest most important of their siblings. and it makes them so much shittier bc they self hate but they also buy their own bullshit in their little two person echo chamber and it colors the sex theyd have with each other and/or with rome. sex with roman is pity fucking the helpless loser that no one wants and whos desperate to please. sex with each other is the best for the best as the roy family was always meant for

which is part of why kenshivrome is best endgame imo.. kenshiv just gets so sucked into their little bubble together - ken wants to be logan and shivs the one who its been said is most like logan. but with roman in the mix, in a place where theyre invested in him and care about him in such an intimate way, theyre confronted with how truly horrible logan was, and theyre humbled that the roy family isnt all perfect overacheiving shitheads - roman brings them down to earth. and they need that bc they both would get up their own asses so much theyd be fucking unbearable otherwise

also rome just looks so cute with his big ol puppy dog eyes, wanting his sister and his brother deeply wrongly, having to stop himself from rubbing one out in his pants at a board meeting just staring at shivs breasts or kens hands. he loves them <3

[calamari-minecraft-corner]

another ask because lineart is kicking my ass

how did Cal meet Skeppy and Bad? their lounge seems pretty.. wealthy people thing and Cal seems decidedly not that.

Oh god i love this question bc ur so right they have a very.. wealthy yet cozy lounge HDJDJDDK so story time!

-

Cal met them on a delivery run! I think I’ve described it before but Cal does a lot of lifting work between Quackity’s area and Schlatt’s area and just work in general. They don’t work on either side- they’re just a worker both of them hire every now and then (Cala doesn’t know those two are the ones hiring her obviously)— and she really hasn’t been involved with the mafia/mob stuff until the events of the au.

On one delivery Cal idly talked to Bad and Skeppy and they actually became pretty good friends to each other! They understand Cal really doesn’t have a lot of money so they let them work with shipment every now and then when they’re not needed anywhere else. They honestly think Cal is a pretty good kid and they do have this sort of protectiveness over them.

That being said Cal and Sapnap met multiple times too! Sapnap has seen them around when Cal is working and they both get into some idle talks they’re honestly acquaintances at best before the au starts but he does warn them to be careful about his parents telling them about some certain ‘stuff’— Cala heeds his advice well but honestly Bad and Skep haven’t told them about their organization yet

Very funny and cute bonus is that Bad also asks Cal to dog sit their dog Lucy sometimes when the two are busy prepping their event at the lounge and Cal always saays yes bc they love the Rat :)

Cute and fluffy headcanons with Nadia and Fallon? 👀👀👀👀

Heheheh

I am being spoiled with opportunities to talk abt my babies :>>>

After the whole devil fiasco, the very sudden marriage proposal pops into the air like ~fwoop~ “…wait a minute…” and not because Fallon wants to say no but- oh god. The world is going to end. She didn’t have her mothers approval! D: her mother hasn’t even met Nadia!!! None of her family has ! ! ! That’s a big no no in their culture whaT HAS SHE DONE. Anyways- ignore Fallon freaking out because even though her family holds a little grudge with Nadia at first, after a few minutes she is accepted into the Ramirez family like she has always belonged. You think Nadia is having her birthday celebrated with annoying nobles? WRONG. She’s chilling with Fallons mom and siblings. Christmas time at the palace? Only if Fallons family is there! A random nice dinner? You better bet your ass even the little rascals of the family are there. “Aye, my sweet new daughter! 🫶” towards Nadia as Fallon stands in the corner weirdly proud but also with a strange hint of unwelcome jealousy? She’s more included in the family than Fallon is at some point and Fallon learns to accept this fate 😭

The first encounter pretty much goes as follows:

Iris (Fallons mom): so… you proposed to my daughter without my blessing… bold… you will have to work VERY hard to win my approval now, countess nad-

Nadia: *breathes*

Iris: :o you are perfect. I adopt you. You are going to be my little wittle daughter-in-law *smooch smooch* now, when are you guys giving me grandchildren? When’s the wedding? Will I be able to meet your Mama? Let me tell you about that one time when Fallon- “-ABSOLUTELY NOT. 🤬”

P.S Iris is like 4’11 so think of her tiny ass trying to be intimidating to an almost 5’11 Nadia (she completely succeeds bc she’s got that Angry Mom Mode but sTILL-)

Ever since Fallon moved into Nadia’s room she noticeably starts leaving her room in the morning later and later… Fallon is a chronic “just stay here 5 more minutes !!! ☹️” and Nadia can’t ever bring herself to say no. I mean, those nobles can wait, and oh god look at her she is so cute when she’s sleepy. The warm, safe cuddles make her really fight to not just abandon her plans for the day and stay in bed.

There are a few stories of the countess sneaking out at night with a sneaky Royal Magician. Why, you may ask. Because Nadia needs to experience life walking the streets of her own city without being countess. …and with a better disguise… giggles follow them everywhere as well as large tips to whatever places they go. Arguably one of the new best parts of their lives, Nadia feels free and like she’s learning something good through the experience, and Fallon is able to watch Nadia’s face while she experiences something new. Win-win situation.

They often find eachother napping on a random couch snuggled up with the others familiar. Despite insisting that she “doesn’t like dogs”, Nadia is quite fond of Pax, he is the only animal besides Chandra that will put Melchior and Mercedes in their places and keep them there. She will watch as Fallon directly stares her in the eyes and invites Pax onto the furniture (she knows better than to argue against it). Fallon just enjoys how smart Chandra is, nicknaming her “feathery Nadi”, and makes Chandra pinky promise to not tell Nadia she calls her that.

Their wedding is PACKED. You have the entire Satrinava family there, the entire Ramirez family there, all of their friends, nobles, family friends. They end up needing two, one for their enormous families and one for Vesuvia to witness.

Both of them are very “Don’t you DARE talk to/touch my wife like that >:(“. Nadia is Fallons greatest defender, and Fallon is hers. Nadia tends to do so by verbal methods whilst Fallon will (and has) swordfight someone. Her fists are rated E for Everyone That Causes A Fuckin Problem For My Wife. Fallon is not afraid to fight someone for the safety of her family and she won’t hide that. Anger both of them at the same time because you insulted them? You better run because you will not survive a simultaneous verbal AND physical ass beating.

Horse riding happens a lot more often, fun activities in general happen a lot more often. Laughter fills the hallways, Vesuvia is on the mend, Nadia is finally marrying someone who loves her. Nadia deserves fun and luckily for her Fallon is an expert Fun-Haver. Racing down the hallways, dancing in the rain, adrenaline inducing adventures during trips to other places, running through the city from guards that don’t know they are chasing the Countess and Magician. Fun! Happiness! What they deserve. Nadia will get dragged away if she’s been working too hard and/or too long just to do something a little more enriching.

Fallon teaches her Magic 🥺 Nadia picks it up quick and would honestly make a pretty good full-time magician if she didn’t have to worry abt all her other duties. Fallon walks in on her one time while she is playing around with it and making little sound effect noises. She was swiftly sworn to silence and to completely forget she witnessed that. (Fallon tells Nasrin and Namar during their little tea talks because- well- “look at how cute your daughter is ☹️”

[giggly-argent]

ok Zero relationship rambling under the cut-

(again in order of least to most reasonable)

Jana

Obviously not gonna happen but these two bonded so quickly over having to keep Gattina in check 💀

plus they're both big, strong n hot so my brain just did the math automatically-

But they're both very busy on opposite sides of the kingdom so they don't really keep in touch often :(

Maybe Jana could teach Zero a sport or two...

Hades

Also not gonna happen but they're kinda cute tho!

They're the two strongest (known) and highest ranking demons in the kingdom, but they can't talk to each other like normal ppl at first 😭😭

Hades has to work on getting Zero to be less subservient (while he unlearns tht trait himself), and they do end up as pretty good friends~

no matter what, Hades still throws some shady verbal teases at Zero when they're alone (lee to lee communication)

Gattina

this is my #1 guilty pleasure oc ship I think!

Gattina's the first person in Zero's life to ever beat him in a fight (even if it wasn't Totally fair) and honestly? that's kinda hot to him!

he's not gonna let it happen again thooo

And in Gatti's case, she just likes hearing him raise his voice whenever she does smth stupid

Like with Jana, he's usually holding her back from an Actual Fight, but w/ Zero she'll deliberately do something outta pocket just to have him grab her by the arm and give her a stern look-

He knows what she's doin 👀

Shura

oughhg the pains the angst,,,

These two were the best of friends as kids, and they already dated thru their teenage years before Shura got possessed left the village </3

I haven't decided whether I wanna let Shura Survive the plot yet but even if he does, I might not put him back with Zero fully bc of the bad stuff he did 😳

Zero still has light feelings for Shura in Any continuity tho :')

Izzy

this one came outta fuckin nowhere tbh!

These two are the definition of hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby (radiation dog vs banjo wielding puppy idk)

the shawl that Izzy wears is the one Zero used to wear when he still lived in Asayesa, and Izzy wouldn't let a single thing happen to it 💖

Izzy's the first one of the Asayesa gang to actually go visit Zero at the castle! (minus Shura but that wasn't a good visit 💀)

Zero usually has to scoop Izzy up out of some kind of peril, but he doesn't mind bc his lil country boy is just too goofy n cute!!

In return, he gets plenty of teasing and kisses an-[Removed for 'Too Affectionate' Crimes]

oh also they play music together anytime they get the chance to :)

Meri

getting into the Intended Relationships now :)

Traumabonding 3.0

Another Stoic/Silly ship, but the silly is mostly hidden on Meri's side

These two are both sooo used to forcing themselves to act super professional. They're always in the public eye, being scrutinized over every little detail...

They finally get to meet in private when Zero accidentally ends up in Zidenna's garden, and that becomes their secret meeting place whenever they both have spare time on their schedule 🖤

Aries

already muchotexto'd about these two in the last one-

Zidenna

childhood friends to lovers trope my beloved 💚 (+size diff my Ultra Beloved)

Super Gigantic Traumabonding 4.0

It takes Zero a pretty long time to warm up to his other coworkers, but the day he sees Zidenna again he's acting like they weren't even separated for 15 years~

Zinny's always hovering around Zero, playing with his hair or pinching his cheeks and ears just to idle, and he lets it happen (you can even catch his tail wagging if it goes on long enough :) )

Zidenna's clownery kinda rubs off on him sometimes! They've convinced him to play lil pranks on Noel or Aries every once in a while

Anytime they walk past Zero, they have to make sure they're not Too close or he's gonna scoop them up in a big hug and Not let go for a bit :'D

(they both think Meri is fine as hell-)

I could go on about these goofies for centuries but I shouldn't 💔

Zin & Meri

This one is Zero's definite endgame for sure,, it makes the most sense!

Zinny joins in on the little meetings once they figure out Zero and Meri are using their garden for em, and it just blooms from there!

[youareashoe]

I wrote down some notes ab Up Here (most are very dumb but anyway):

* Miguel and Cisco both have shit brothers fr. (And they both play instruments)

* SHES FKN PREGNANT?!?

* Mr mcgooch(ellervadfackhannuheter) is a creep in my opinion (aka I think he’s to old for Lindsay)

* In ep 4 it’s hinted that Lindsay is living in someone elses apartment. When she answers the phone they’re asking for a random dude

* I wish we got to meet the dad “irl”

* Why is Scott who plays orson listed as a guest star? He’s in every episode😭

* I kin “please like me” a little too much

* I hated Linds bc I’m exactly like her

* Someone give mig a hug

* Like fr

* Him calling every hour to make sure she’s okay (my standards are so high after this show)

* The fact that migs character in the novel was the one the reader was interested in bc linds was interested in (does this sentence even make sense)

* I feel like I’ve always known you>> (woods)

* The fact that Lindsay remember that mig is scared of the woods and ran in there looking for him

* I don’t support Linds in ep3 (tho I do in the ending)

* The rat scene was so perfectly written and acted

* “Is this glue or gum..?” “No that is cum”

* I kin “the truth is” too much too

* “I guess you could say I come here often”

* I wish I had migs view on love, I also want to be that optimistic

* I wish the “red door” was the door he saw his dead mom behind or sum. Not where he got his dog

* Mig being high is so fun

* I love the amount of funny angry scream scenes there are. It just adds so much comedic effect, and they don’t overuse them

* Celeste is iconic

* I love orson in the show but would hate him irl

* Having the first day in both their perspective was fun

* The episodes titles actually having something to do with the story.

* The queerbaiting was kinda unnecessary. They could of made Linds made out w a woman and be like: “yup not into this sorry”, instead of just queerbait

* Love how they actually followed up on their trauma and didn’t just brush over it *eghm* the flash *eghmm*

* Migs version of badass/alpha male (or whatever) being making room on the subway for a pregnant woman is so pure and cute😭

* The amount of references they had throughout the show was amazing

* I feel so single after watching this

* Newsie dancer!!

* Ned deserves everything.

* I actually feel kinda bad for Ned but Linds needed change

* Okay hear me out Ned is hot asf

* Chad asking/minupilating mig if he would be up for a threesome was the funniest thing ever

* Chad = bi

* Wish we got more chad

* I love chad

* Mig opening up to Linds but only a little bc he’s scared hurts

* Mig singing “can I ever know you?” First is so cute

* I wanted more of mig and his brothers relationship

* In “what if” they change her ever looping tune and it’s so cute aghh

* Ned is so gay istg

* Like fr

* Carlos and Mae being like their characters irl is so fun

* The podcast is the best thing ever

* Miguel trying to fit in with the toxic masculinity in tiger king but he: cries when he watches notting hill, wants to be like Jane eyre n more is so fun

* The Lopezes are so talented it’s not even funny, the songs they wrote are all so good

This is just me rambling but I have so much more lmao😍

[hopes-memorial]

🎤 This is your chance to talk about a ship. Any ship you have. Go wild.

Trying to choose just one is a pain, so I'll talk about a few that stand out to me a lot for different characters.

Amai

This is partially Reese's fault bc I didn't even consider this ship when making Amai, but them x Gundham is a ship that's one of my favorites when it comes to shipping them with a canon character. Something about the differing aesthetics and social goals but very similar tactics when it comes to situations like that is very fascinating to me. Plus, Gundham just ticks a lot of the boxes that were created after I started getting into their character a bit, which is fun, I guess.

Other people's OC wise, Raijin and Naoko with Amai are ♡♡♡♡♡ to me. They live in my head rent free and have been on my mind more, mostly bc they're very fun. I love them so much. The ship I have developing with Pan's Andrew is high up there, too, though, and I'm super excited to continue it.

My OC wise, Yukihiko and Amai is THE otp for them but not in a cute, romantic way. It's in a very toxic and very damaging way for both of them in vastly different ways. They don't understand each other at all, and as things are, it's never going to develop outside of a purely transactional one at best or one thats just Amai reliving their worst years at worst, but that's the fun of it.

Botan

Masao and Botan are the OTP for this blog. Full stop. They are guard dog x guard dog, and they were literally made for one another. Both of them will sacrifice everything if it means keeping the other safe, and both of them are more than comfortable with calling the other out when they're upset with a choice the other made. Masao has done things that have not been elaborated on yet for Botan's sake, and Botan has nearly killed Masao’s abusive father and was only stopped because Masao would be upset with him for going that far. They're a power pair, and I love them oh so much.

Hm... I do like my ship with him and Natsumi. It's pretty fun, and they work together well. Botan does need someone more assertive in his life to keep him from overworking and to get him out of his comfort zones, things that he's not going to do by choice.

Masao

Outside of that pairing... Akira Osaki and Mikado Sannoji from @/morals-and-florals and @/mikado-sannoji are my favorite pairings for Masao. He really needs more love, and meeting even MORE people who have hurt people but choose to do better... yeah, he has a type.

Matsuri

Yotsuba and Matsuri are my favorite ships for the two of them. They're fun, and they're opposites. What more can I say?

A VERY close second to that, though... Aika. They are just... they're so cute together! Aika being so shy and responding to Matsuri's flirting and Matsuri getting to be with someone so sweet and thoughtful, it's all just so adorable and I love them a lot.

Elodie

Kaori and Elodie are a ship in development, and I cannot wait to see how it fully develops. Opposites attract is a ship that I love, and soft spoken story teller and more outgoing actress are a ship that is very much right up my alley. They're adorable, your honor, and I love them oh so much.

Mei

Speaking of opposites attract... Takumi and Mei are also living in my head rent free. The more easy going thief and the straight laced lawyer who are both basically anarchists who are completely opposed to the systems that are in place that keep people from moving up in social circles and make it harder for people in lower income situations to provide for themselves? Yeah, what more could you ask for in a ship?

The Mei and Yui ship that I'm working on with someone is pretty fun, too. Two people who care deeply about justice and doing well by other people is pretty nice and less dangerous than the one above.

Takara

Him and Miu. Him and Miu, Reese was 100% correct, she is the girl of his dreams. She WOULD hurt him in a way that's funny. She has THE confidence that can keep him entertained, and I LOVE it a lot.

Haruka

Okay, for my OCs, her and Daisuke are ship that I have in mind. It's mostly due to the idea of the love and death drives along with a book I read back in highschool and ONE online article saying that Eros and Thanatos looked quite a bit alike. They're two people who have suffered great losses and have completely differing approaches when it comes to people and society in general, and they work very well together... when Kanai isn't around.

Yukino and Haruka top that, though. They just work so well together, and they're both two people who have been rejected by society and seek out other things that can fill the social void. There are differences in the extemems of it, and that adds an interesting dynamic. Plus, they're both goth, need I say more?

[stars-tonight]

Hello! I’d like to be a 🧸 anon and i would like a long romantic haikyuu matchup as i find them so fun to read!

I’m a girl and i’d like to be paired up with a guy.

My ideal partner is probably someone who is caring, supportive and understanding. Someone i can feel safe around no matter what and in any situation. I’m an introvert who sometimes has trouble speaking to strangers (like stuttering or being awkward), so someone extroverted would be good, or just anyone who doesn’t really have trouble talking with strangers. Just someone i can rely on.

Like i already mentioned, im an introvert who dislikes big social gatherings and stuff like that. I’m calm and quiet around people i don’t know, but with my friends i’m rather loud and sometimes don’t know when to shut up. I also really like animals (i have a doggy, the cutest one alive). I would also add that everything stresses me out, like there was a small mistake that i did? Im gonna overthink it until my head starts hurting.

I don’t really have any hobbies, maybe like watching shows and listening to music. I take my dog out on a walk almost every day, I don’t know if you can consider that a hobby but it’s the only thing i do repeatedly. I like to take care of my father’s animals, as he has a lot of parrots and rabbits.

I would say my love language is acts of service and quality time(giving) and physical touch and quality time (receiving).

My mbti is intp(-t). I’m not a fan of meeting new people, as it really stresses me out unfortunately which is something that I would like to change about myself. Im a very picky eater, like extremely picky 😭. I like music, nature, hitchhiking (even though im extremely unathletic), animals, spending time with my friends..

I think i possibly made it too long 😖 thank you for taking your time reading this and i can’t wait for what you come up with! 🫶🏻

🥛 i've said this before but iwaizumi is actually a lot more supportive than you might think at first glance

🥛 he's very supportive of both his teammates and opponents

🥛 he's probably the single person the seijoh team trusts the most as their support pillar

🥛 great communicator and probably gives decent advice

🥛 practices tough love

🥛 scary. dog. energy.

🥛 you'll never be scared when you're with him because he'll protect you from literally anything

🥛 and he's intimidating enough that no one will come to you looking for trouble

🥛 could probably scare off a serial killer

🥛 definitely isn't shy so he'll of course talk to people for you

🥛 but he's also an introvert so he likes his privacy as well

🥛 definitely isn't a fan of large crowds

🥛 you'll also never catch him baby-talking your dog

🥛 ESPECIALLY if it's like a little cute puppy

🥛 just doesn't fit iwa-chan's vibe yknow?

🥛 gosh oikawa would laugh at him so much if you owned like a pomeranian and iwaizumi's just out here walking a fluffy ball of cuteness

🥛 he likes being active so he'll gladly join you on walks with your dog

🥛 if you're ever sick he'll take your dog out on a walk for you

🥛 and he'd definitely like to go hiking with you!

🥛 you can't tell me he's not like the most athletic person ever

🥛 the one haikyū!! character who could probably climb mount everest

🥛 he can usually hike at a fast pace but if you get tired he'd be more than happy to wait for you

🥛 would probably carry you or give you a piggyback ride if you wanted

🥛 definitely carries all your bags for you

🥛 this goes for both when you're hiking and just going out

🥛 i've said this before but i think his giving love language is acts of service

🥛 he'll take the best care of you, whether it's by cooking for you (bc he definitely can cook) or bringing you medicine when you're sick

🥛 he'll find it cute that you want to do stuff for him

🥛 especially if he's a lot taller than you

🥛 oikawa points this out too and laughs at the fact that buff iwaizumi is being taken care of

🥛 he's not a big pda guy and doesn't strike me as the type to initiate physical contact (at least at the start of the relationship)

🥛 but he won't shy away either

🥛 and once the relationship progresses and you get more comfortable with each other he'd definitely hug you more often

🥛 he takes care of you like a mom

🥛 probably tells you to eat your vegetables

runner up for you was sawamura daichi!

A/N: there you go 🧸anon, i hope you liked it! i'm also a SUPER picky eater (but i like to say i'm easy to satisfy because you could get me mcdonalds any day and i'd be happy)

ryuki eps 42-50 notes & final impressions

(note that i probably am not getting around to any of the supplementary content any time soon bc 1) there are so many 2) i'm iffy on alternate endings in the first place 3) the ones that aren't that are crossovers so i'm not watching them until i get there [which won't be for months even if i keep the pace i've been going at & 4) i'm a little burnt out on ryuki and am excited to start faiz])

the way sano just hops around while his final vent goes off and all the antelopes(?) charge is so cute

sano overall is just great. love it when a guy has no principles whatsoever.

love ren, kitaoka, and asakura taking the serendipitous occurrence of them all meeting in room 401 after tojo and the professor had moved out to sit down and go "we hate you you're stupid go kill yourself give us 5,000 dollars" to shinji. he is very stupid though god bless him

one thing i find very funny is that despite asakura being asakura he's actually pretty courteous about the game. like he very well could be (and probably would fare better if he was?) attacking people outside of the mirror world but he just shows up and acts off-putting and strange until they transform. (like he actually reads sano's business card even though he interrupted his tojo-ran-away temper tantrum?) i guess this is why he's shiro's little attack dog he's just really about being a Proper Rider.

also i'm really bad at looking at significant injuries so when tojo jumped into like that water runoff ditch (?) and it looked like something happened to his arm i got so nauseous lol. i don't think he actually got hurt bc it doesn't seem he's injured in his following scenes but still ;;;;;;;

also tojo is so Interesting to me!!!!!!!!!! (this is the millionth time i've said this) i wish i knew where in the metamorphosis he was at so i could possibly make connections. the strength of his heroic ideal and how he's carving parts of his life out (literally, by killing people lol) in order to fit in that very twisted definition yet still failing (both because it is something that is forced on his part And for the unlucky fact that other riders are just stronger than him)

ep 44 don't fucking talk to me. literally the second tojo went "you're the first person to be nice to me since the professor" my fucking stomach dropped (tbh i should have known since sano brought tojo to his apartment in the first place but w/e) that he'd fucking kill him but AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

pain and fucking suffering why are all my favorites DOOMED it's literally a curse.

idk if i were tojo i'd start beating asakura with hammers that's just me though (maybe everyone's just courteous about only fighting in the mirror world bc it's a kids show.... hmm much to think about)

"i have to be the one who killed sano" please fucking hit me with a truck it'd be less painful. tojo there is something so wrong with you you are literally the best <3

also after kitaoka told him there was no way he could ever be a hero he did like a 1:1 gills scream motion which is really funny bc they don't share a suit actor

ren clocking shinji with the "has your indecision ever helped a single person" GET HIS ASS!!!!!!! but also STOP IT!!!!! bc while i really don't see a point where pacifism is successfully getting anyone out of anywhere rn (atp in ep 46 at least) it makes me feel so bad about tezuka i'm going to hurl

the way tojo died was lame though L. thematically necessary but lame. (i'm just bitter bc i wanted him to also start hallucinating sano i'm sorry my goggles are on... also i just wanted him to spiral more the car bomb was a great step i wanted it to keep happening.... i get that asakura gets to stay around bc he's shiro's little meow meow but who says we couldn't have had two maniacs until the end [logical reasoning does. who said that])

i've realized in my notes/lb i haven't talked about kitaoka's illness a bunch (because thinking about it makes me So Miserable) but seriously if they had stayed in the scene after ren tells kitaoka he's disqualified it would have been my breaking point for Ryuki Crying (i'm surprised i've lasted this long but tbh ryuki to me inspires an intense hollowness in one's gut that leaves you sitting kind of hunched over staring slack-jawed at your screen like you just got punched rather than like bawling my eyes out) but no we have to immediately cut to asakura fighting the weird blue artificial monsters i don't necessarily understand the significance of? i get that there's generally some obligation for there to be monster fighting in each episode but most of the time i feel like it's such a time waster......

^this is maybe my largest criticism of ryuki? that there's So Much that it very often doesn't sit with itself bc it doesn't have the time to. and i LOVE to sit with a scene so it's just unfortunate. give me time to think!!!

episode 49 should i kms yes/no?

shiro and yui. it's so over. it's so over. it's so over. the way his voice changed as he begged her not to disappear it's so over.

before Everything Started happening i said and i quote "it'd be slay if they let ren win lmao" to make myself laugh bc i had just been released from the Doomed Siblings Pain and Horror Vortex. and then the police started preparing to assassinate asakura and i went pause. and then kitaoka is still slowly dying (i literally can't talk about it pleaseeeeeee just let it happen so this can stop torturing me PLEASEEEEEE) AND THEN SHINJI DIED. SO.

i don't even want to think about anything anymore. i need to excise this show from my brain so i can be normal i can't do this

okay. i fucking bawled all throughout the back half of 50. YOU GOT MEEEEE YOU FINALLY BROKE ME!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS

i literally can't talk about it bc if i start crying again i think i'm literally going to puke i was heaving

um. anyways. good show. i need to go lay down. maybe forever?

[strawberriandromeda]

The signs as things i like about ppl i know

Aries: i had an Aries friend in high school who likes to make jokes poking fun at me but when i return the favor she gave me this Intimidating Glare and I'd back off. I had a tiny crush on her for this

Taurus: my aunt is very stubborn and argumentative with everyone but when it comes to me she is very sweet and loving. I feel like her purse dog. I tend to be most Tauruses' purse dog now that i think of it. I dont mind tbh. Extra: My good friend during hs is a girl I met on here and it sincerely felt as if she was (and still is) my soul sister and someone who gave me a lot of self confidence during that time just by caring about me. I'll be her purse dog whenever

Gemini: my mom is the best mom in the world :D. I had to include that first. Anyways the real story is that my first boyfriend is a Gemini and he was really sweet and i would always stare at him with unabashed affection bc he is very handsome and kind and has wonderful humor. It didn't work out bc we were more platonic than romantic but its fine because im happy he was my first boyfriend :)

Cancer: i never got the opportunity to be close to many Cancers in a sufficient way but everytime i meet a Cancer i get super excited and tell them we're water siblings and they get excited back :) yaaaay

Leo: my brother. He is lame but he cares for me and defends me and gives me advice when I'm sad. Same as Cancer, I don't know many Leos but if they're like the better parts of my brother then i am happy they exist

Virgo: every best friend i have is a Virgo!! I love them so much that sometimes i want to cry. I really think they're perfect that i even think their flaws are perfect. I sincerely hope i get married to one for realsies and fall in gay deep homosexual gay love with them even if they're a guy. My ex bestie in high school broke off our friendship and it totally and completely crushed me for months. I didn't think I cared so much but she helped shape my ideas and dreams for a long time. Now im lucky to have two more Virgos in my life who also provide meaningful companionship except without all of that bitterness attached

Libra: they are so cute and sweet. I never got to meet my maternal grandma but i got very attached to my aunt who is a Libra and I consider her my favorite aunt. My mom told me that she acts like my grandma so im happy to love her bc it kinda feels like im loving two people. The person in front of me and the person i mever got to miss. Me and my grandma would have gotten along :')

Scorpio: ough oughhhhh. I tend to have really intense loving friendships with Scorpios that end up fraught with the misery only a stereotypical Cancer and Scorpio would bring to the table. When i had a crush on my friend he was always looking out for me even though he was also a huge jerk. I forged a deep friendship with my ex best friend/ex girlfriend who is a Scorpio and it all got burned to the ground several times. The only time i was truly content was when i was keeping my distance and loving them from afar. I dont even care if this doesnt apply to all Scorpios but im grateful it applied to my Scorpios. I miss them but i never want to talk to them again. Hopefully im mature and strong enough to handle the next Scorpio in my life if they should come. Hopefully i dont have to be

Sagittarius: My good friend in high school who is a Sagittarius was really dear to me. She was the first person to talk to me even though she was awkward and shy, too.

Capricorn: I had a crush on a Capricorn for the longest time. For a time, there was nobody else for me but him. He was unattractive, rude, condescending and pretentious and always seemed to be talking down on me or making fun of me. And i adoooooored him. I think i enjoyed the arguing.

Aquarius: My first ever partner ever was an Aquarius. I remember one night before we dated when we both sat down on the beach away from everyone else to look at the stars and the waves. She told me that the lights of the city in front of us felt like a calling, and i asked her if she felt pulled by it. She said no. She wanted to stay here forever. That idea frightened me because i was afraid to be lost and alone. I never got to understand her, and i really regret that. I was just too young and immature

Pisces: a person that means a lot to me is a Pisces even though he will never talk to me again. Not because we fought but because we drifted so far apart that even dropping in on him feels wrong. Which is sad because for a moment in time we were the two closest people in the world. Whereever you are, please know that you were a pleasure to have around.
