Bet Soap shuts down all the diet talk around the office girls by generally being outraged that they're talking about how they should do this diet or that diet (all of them wildly unacceptable to him from a health standpoint, like fuck off you work on a military base 400 calories for a day is NOT ON) and then loudly saying he is going to fuck some self worth into them while already taking his clothes off. There is a massive sigh and Gaz drags him out of there while profusely apologising (but also telling them to meet him at lunch and if they want to talk about good eating habits he can help).
Soap will spend the rest of the day pacing and grumbling under his breath about how much he would die to get stuck into these girls and how he cannot believe they think they're not hot as fuck.
#mhairidrabbles#and I bet they listen instead of saying that actually it's totally fine that all people can talk about is losing weight#me? projecting? OF FUCKING COURSE I AM MY OFFICE IS UNBEARABLE SOMETIMES#if you want to lose weight I fully support you but maybe stop loudly announcing how much you need to lose weight to everyone#the women I work with are all perfectly healthy weights it kills me to watch them all make each other insecure

Glimmer: Jason Todd x reader
request: Jason Todd x fem!reader who is optimistic, sees good in people and gives him hugs and kisses when he comes from patrol.
****
She never knew it, and even if she did she would totally refuse to believe it, but there was something in her eyes that always made Jason feel better about world and about himself. A bit.
He met Y/N on one of his night patrols and not-so-surprisingly rescued her from a mugger. Typical Gotham occurrence, but unlike any other citizen of this god-forsaken city she did not seem shaken or terrified or even sad.
“How are you so fine with what happened?” instead of taking off the second the robber was dealt with Jason found himself captured by her unusual behavior
“I’m not” she sighed deeply and her e/c orbs focused on him, making him shake inside due to the intensity of the gaze “I’m not all right with how Gotham affects people. That the poor had to go to the great lengths to survive on the streets while crime lords have everything. I’m not fine with the fact that kids here suffer because their parents abandoned them. I hate that GCPD seem helpless when it comes to dealing with all this shit and vigilantes have to take matters in their own hands.”
“So, pretty much you hate Batman?” Jason scoffed, trying to act casually, not showing how touched he was by the mention of kids on the streets. After all, he was one of them many years ago and the memory of what he went through was still hunting him sometimes.
“I never said that!” she laughed. She laughed a few seconds after a traumatic events. “I admire everything he does. But unlike our fierce protector, I’d rather focus on seeing good in people.”
“Good?” Jason scoffed, his helmet muffling the sound a bit “There’s nothing good in this shithole.”
‘Maybe that is your problem, Red. Your aim is to get rid of the crime lords. Arguably by killing them all off….”
“I don’t do that anymore.” He chimed in
“Then hurting them. Injuring them. Making them remember the pain. I’d rather spread the good emotions. Like in the homeless shelter where I volunteer after work. Or at the child center. You should see the smile on those people faces just because you gave them ten minutes of your time. To talk, to actually ask them how they feel, if there’s anything they would like to do. Elders have so many to say, yet no one ever listens. And children, those poor little souls, who did nothing wrong in their life, except for what’s necessary to survive. A hug or a joke is enough to make them cry happy tears.”
“You’re being awfully optimistic, aren’t you?”
“Can’t help being who I am” she smiled so bright, Jason could swear that it lighted up the whole alley “you should try that sometimes, Red Hood. Anyway, sorry for keeping you this long, bet you have another parts of the city to patrol.” Once again her beaming, hopeful, sincere eyes landed on his face (or rather helmet) “thank you for helping me. I know you do not see yourself this way, but what you do matters. The method may be a bit extreme, but still, I appreciate what you did. What you do.”
“I……” Jason stuttered. It was the first time someone actually said something like that to him. Was he really good in her eyes?
“I gotta go.” She shook he head, hair falling all over her face and Jason had to use all his strength to fight the urge to brush those strands of. There was something about this girl…. ”Stay safe, Hood, will you?” she turned around and started walking away, but he called after her, making her stop.
“Can I get your name?!”
“Wonder why that matters to you.” she laughed, but decided in favor of answering “It’s Y/N. My name’s Y/N.” with a single wave of the hand she was gone, leaving Jason wondering and muttering that single word over and over again.
***
“Hey, Drake. I got a favor to ask.”
“And out of all the people in the world you came to me?” Tim raised an eyebrow “You must be truly desperate, Todd.”
“I can always go and ask Barbara. Bet she’ll deal with the search I need much faster than you. She’s an expert after all.” Jason smirked knowing well enough how the reverse psychology affected Tim.
“Better!? No way!! What do you need?” the younger boy spun around on the chair, now facing the bat computer, fingers hanging over the keyboard, twitching in anticipation.
“I want to find a person. I only got a name, Y/N, possible living location and I know she works at the homeless shelter and kid center. Can you target her?”
“don’t know.” Tim tapped his chin, wondering “Is he a Red Hood’s object of interest or Jason Todd’s one?”
Fuck. There was no good answer to that question and Jason found himself falling right into Tim’s trap.
“Let’s say a little bit of both.”
“Whatever you say……”
***
Tim was faster than Jason anticipated and with just a few clicks and searches he managed to locate the girl. And just a few minutes later, after breaking some speed limits (Bruce would pay for the tickets obviously) Todd was in front of the building she was spending her evening at.
It’s been a while since Jason seen so many hurt and scared people in one place and that reminded him how much crime actually was in Gotham. He was fighting some part of it, but the rest…. Damn it. The view was just painful. Starting from a few-years old, ending up on the elders, every age group has a representation in this place. And amongst all those citizens he saw Y/N. With messy hair and a smudge of something that seemed like a paint, but was awfully similar to blood she was telling a story to a bunch of kids, one of them placed on her knees. That little dirt on her cheek made Jason shudder. In the depths of his mind he already saw her injured, bleeding in some alley, after being attacked or raped, her optimistic attitude not serving as a shield. But apparently her positive attitude was not a result of obliviousness and being raised in separation from the bad aspects of life, but rather the opposite. She experienced the sadness and pain everyday while working with those people and yet, remained cheerful. That was….. strangely alluring.
“Hey there.” She put the kid down, noticing him standing in the aisle, looking confused “Are you lost? Are you hurt? Do you need help?” she was so tiny in comparison with a tank Jason was and she wanted to help him. Not even expecting anything in return.
“No…. I ……”
“Hey, it’s ok.” she reassured, putting a hand on his shoulder and he immediately felt the warmth coming all over his body. “You’re safe here. We can give you any aid you need.”
“I don’t need help. “ Jason shook his head.
“You sure?” she tilted her head “Cause it seems to me like you got a strained muscles, a bruise on the jaw and some cuts on the forearms.”
“You are quite observant, aren’t you?”
“Did my time as a doctor assistant.” She shrugged “never get to finish though”
“Why?”
“Um… you know, typical Gotham stuff. Parents getting shot. No one to help me pay for college…. I had to tend for myself and that required a full time job, not just studying. So I dropped. Became an assistant nurse instead. Shitty job, shitty pay, shitty work hours, but get to make ends meet.”
“And you still find time to volunteer?”
“Like I said to someone before, I’d rather help people by spreading good. Seriously, can I help you with anything…..?”her voice hanged a bit and it took him a while before realizing she was waiting for hi name.
“I’m Jason. And I …. I think I want to be a volunteer as well.”
***
It’s been three years since then.
Three years in which she was constantly surprising him with her attitude, her smile, her uptake on things.
Three years of her being his rock, getting him through the shittiest, lowest day, never letting him give up or his darkness and shadow consume him. She was his ray of sun on those days when he had no power to push through.
Jason was not the first person to trust people, but somehow she managed to gain it quite quickly. After a few months of acquaintance, shaking because of the emotions (mostly fear) he told her about his alter ego, awaiting abandonment, terrified, judgmental gaze and her leaving him for good.
There was a moment of silence after his confession, two young adults just sitting on the couch opposite of each other. Jason looking down, silent begging for her to not leave him, missing the fact that Y/N’s signature honest gaze were focused on him.
“Jason….” she said quietly, careful not to startle him “Jace, please look at me.” The boy hesitantly raised his head, scared what he might see on the girl’s face “did you think I would leave you?”
“Yes.” He blurted not able to control himself anymore.
“You silly boy.” She leaned forward slightly, reaching for his cheek, not touching yet, since she learned how hard physical contact was for him “Can I?”
“Please….” He mumbled, and once she cupped his face, immediately leaned into the touch. So touch starved, so desperate for her, without even realizing this.
“Listen to me, Jason Todd. I am not going anywhere.”
“You’re not?”
“Of course not.” she whispered “I’m honestly a bit offended you could even think something like that. Do you even know me?”
“I know you see good in place where there is none. And I’m no good. I’m bad news, always have been and….”
“Oh, for crying out loud.” She hissed and not giving a shit about being gentle put her lips on his, the urge being just too strong to hold it anymore. “Sorry….” Just a few seconds later she realized what she did and pulled back, her face turning apologetic. “I didn’t mean to push….”
“Come back here” Jason breathed out, wrapping an arm around her waist and claiming her lips again, this time fully. God, he never knew how much he craved her and how much fear of rejection on her part he had. “I need you.” he whispered pulling her flush to him “God, I shouldn’t but I need you so bad.”
“Good thing it’s mutual.” She smiled, brushing a curl from his face and connecting their foreheads
“But….” He tried to say.
“if you start talking about that shit about darkness and everything else I won’t kiss you for a week.”
“Are you threatening the Red Hood, princess?”
“Guess, I am” she laughed, realizing that little fact “is it working?”
“Sure as hell it is.” Jason gasped before closing the gap between them.
***
Y/N was quickly accepted into the Wayne family, turning into a valuable member of the team. And damn, she was good at working with Oracle from the cave. But the most important part of her job (in her own words) was still giving the good vibes. Keeping the batboys (and batgirls) up and running, showing them how much good they were doing and how grateful people were for that.
Jason needed it more than anyone else, still doubting himself and dealing with past trauma, not that anyone blamed him for that. If nothing else, dying and resurrecting definitely have an effect on one’s mentality. And that was precisely why, Y/N would always stay up in the night, waiting for Jay to come back from the patrol to welcome him in the most caring and loving way she could.
“Jace!” she jumped off the couch as soon as she heard him walk thought the door, his helmet and jacket already discarded on the floor. She practically jumped into his arms, wrapping legs and arms around him, tugging her boyfriend tightly, feeling his muscles relax under her touches and caresses.
“Hi, baby….” He sighed deeply feeling her in his arms. The only person that made everything he did worth the effort.
“My hero.” She tugged him even tighter, hands tangling in his hair massaging gently.
“Hero? That’s funny princess. Are you sure you’re not mistaking me for Grayson? Do you wish that it was someone else in your arms?”
“What are you…..?” she pulled back from him slightly, but his arms kept her in place, familiar smirk forming on his face. “You are incorrigible Todd! Why are you constantly playing with me?”
“Cause you look cute with that surprised Pikachu face” he kissed the top of her nose and she pouted.
“Stop it! It’s my job to kiss you and hug you. You’re tired and hurt. Let me take care of you.” her hand travelled down from his neck and rested on his heart “Please, love. I just want to take all the pain from you. Let me, Jason.” she was practically begging him now, and the fact that he truly had someone who was willing to do that for him was making him melt. Since the words failed him, he just nodded, closing his eyes not to show any vulnerability. Almost three years of being together and it was still hard for him to show her his emotional side. “Open those eyes” she commanded, once he put her back on the floor and they just stood in place. “I love you, Jason.” Y/N said with fully convinced voice “whatever you think about yourself, you are a hero to me.” a little kiss on his forehead “A protector.” Kiss on his nose “a fighter” one on each of his cheeks “I can never see you differently” a peck on his lips, too short, leaving him wanting more and chasing her lips “but it’s me. You don’t need to act strong with me when you are tired. You don’t need to hide your emotions. You could never be too vulnerable for me. I accept and somewhat understand Red hood, but it’s Jason Todd I fell in love with. My Jason. The emotional one. All right, baby?’ she caressed his cheek, grabbing his hand and leading him backwards towards the bed “will you rest with me?”
“Yes.” He whispered “Please……”
“All right.” She helped him lay down and once he rested head on her chest, feeling her fingers play with his hair, the other hand caressing her back, Jason slowly let the tension and the burden of opinion, judgments and expectations go.
She was making him feel better about himself.
She was making him feel better about world.
And maybe it was wrong and selfish and careless, but he loved her.
And he was going to tell her that.
Soon.

Regulus/Evan
A little piece of Slytherin bromance today. (That doesn't feel like the appropriate word but I don't know what other word to use.)
So Evan and Regulus are totally platonic in this series, but they have a really nice friendship. I really like Evan, another deeply feeling Slytherin making the best of a shite family. Here’s a moment with some Rosekiller references. Also, bit of a Jegulus spoiler in there, beware.
Regulus POV, Regulus is in year three, as is Barty. Evan is in year five. James is in year four.
…
“What’s up?”
And Regulus wished he could say something coherent, but instead he rushed forward, like Evan had hugged him a hundred times, when in reality, Evan had never hugged him before. To Evan’s credit, he took the whole thing in stride, wrapping his arms around Regulus and not saying anything.
Evan was taller than James, and broader. With his head ducked slightly, Regulus pressed his ear against Evan’s chest and listened to his heart beat. This, this was what he needed. He relaxed into the warmth and heartbeat, until Evan cleared his throat.
“Are you ok?”
Regulus nodded against his chest.
“I didn’t realize you were a hugger,” Evan said, and he could hear the smile in his voice.
“I’m not,” grumbled Regulus. “Sometimes I have a hard time and I need someone else to help me calm down. Sev used to be that person.”
“And now it’s me!” Evan said with way too much enthusiasm in his voice. “Good riddance, Severus is a moody git, bet he didn’t let him hug you for awkwardly long periods of time.”
Regulus chose not to respond, instead giving Evan a light punch in his side. Then Regulus went to pull away, but Evan squeezed him tighter, making him laugh.
“Nuh-uh, you’re getting more than you signed up for with me Black. I’m a closetted touch addict, and you’ve just unleashed the monster.”
“Shut up Evan!” Regulus laughed, pushing hard to break free of Evan’s nearly crushing embrace. “Go find Barty to fill your touch quota.”
“Barty’s in detention. Besides, he’s still discovering his enthusiasm for physical affection, very slowly, like a turtle.”
“I’m going to tell him you called him a turtle.”
“Be my guest, I call him worse.”
Regulus rolled his eyes.
“Apparently he likes being insulted as long as he knows it’s coming from a place of affection. In fact, I can usually get him to crawl right into my lap if I lay the criticism on hard enough. Wicked discovery.”
Regulus threw his hands over his ears. “Enough Evan. I don’t want a play by play of your and Barty’s weird secret romance. But I am really happy to hear things are working out.”
“So that’s it, you’re all better now?” asked Evan with a quirked eyebrow.
“Pretty much.” Regulus missed having a bunk buddy. This was not something he was going to tell Evan. But it might be something he mentioned to James, as his boyfriend. “Thanks Evan.”
“Hey, it’s fine. It actually means a lot to me you felt safe to do that.”
“Now I have to leave before you go all sappy and I can never look at you the same way again Rosier,” said Regulus, pushing past Evan and drawing his wand (what a chore) to unlock the door.
“I’m available anytime Black, you know where to find me.” Regulus gave Evan the finger and Evan laughed.
…
Let's see, this was again from The Heart of the Lion, due to post in... April. Yikes. In the meantime, check out my pinned post because things are going to start dropping in just over two weeks!

time for the hsr update liveblog
im gonna sob. jing yuan is such a Dad. yanqing is such a Son
thinking so much about yanqing being forced to act older than his age but getting to let loose and actually be a kid when it comes to the things hes interested in
i love him
"miss march" LOOK AT MY POLITE SON!!! LOOK AT HIM!!!!!!
save my son from bureaucracy. and also from my daughter
ok why does huaiyan have and old man model when its canon that xianzhou natives dont physically age
hes old enough to be blades master so hes not an outworlder. what gives
he talks like a man who's had to spend extended time listening to the ramblings of a toddler and now is fazed by nothing
fu hua please give these old men a break
the fact yanqing looks to jing yuan to answer questions... oh baby
also jing yuan is so proud of him its so cute
hes so polite. even though she stole yanzhuo
oh yunli is an ASSHOLE
'you lost your sword because you were unfocused and now you have to fight me to get it back instead of expecting me to hand it over'
lmao the dad voice came out
i really like how its clear that yanqing is a lot more even tempered now. he only even entertains the idea of fighting yunli when she directly challenges him (after insulting him too!)
and when jing yuan warns him he immediately steps back
baby's first diplomatic mission
yunli darling i think yanzhuo is scared because it was possessed by a demon, not because yanqing is mean
this is so sweet. he really is jing yuans son
and remembering blades comment that jing yuan was a hothead as a kid. oh man. the parallels. oh boy
ok im not crazy. thank god
JING YUAN LORE
man it must be crazy for huaiyan to see this rebellious kid who became a knight against his parents wishes eventually succeed teng xiao and grow into one of the best generals the xianzhou has seen
i am ignoring the death flags yet again
hes so sincere its adorable
ok bestie cool it down. you have bigger fish to fry
I AM IGNORING THE DEATH FLAGS
jing yuan you cant die. he will be orphaned AGAIN
i dont know if he can take that
the parallel of jing yuan being told hes overthinking things by huaiyan and yanqing overthinking jing yuan
he is literally jing yuans mini me its so cute
yanqing, dan heng and jing yuan all sharing the same thoughts. i love their dynamic. they are the understanderrrrrs
MISTER DAN HENG
sobs
man yanqing is too young to be implicated in political intri-
hang on. if the abundance yanqing theory is true its gonna look real bad on jing yuan for looking after him. and like. that would be the ideal twist for this
but its only a continuance its fine nothing too important will happen
i hope
YANQING STEPPING IN TO PROTECT LINGSHA HES SO CUTE
hes good boy. jing yuan raised him well
this is maybe the first praise he's had to his face like. ever
at least in the entire game
well now we know why jing yuan was so uneasy
huaiyan's remark was so pointed jesus.
im curious to see where they'll go with this because i bet jy feels guilty as all hell
yes yunli thats what trauma does. and adding to it by insulting him and confiscating his property will totally help
she is so. 13. this is a 13yo
its striking me that yunli is everything yanqing haters claim that he is
i really hope yunli gets some character development. i can see all the yanqing stans realising this ^ and talking smack about her.
btw. dont do that. thats my 13yo edgy emo daughter
FEIXIAO IS SO HOT
well. i guess i do need a wind dps
oh my god shes so hot. oh my god
hes so excited to see her this is so cute
hey. she. she kinda looks like kiana. now that i think about it. with her hair like that and the blue eyes
ok its fine they dont share a va. false alarm. no kiana yet
bur GOD does she make me nostalgic for the og
kiana would absolutely say this
acheron come get your girl
DIPLOMACY KING!!!!
fearing how westerners will react to him being ticked off by yunli because they dont understance face
every girlboss must have her malewife
this warms my heart
she really is kaslana coded

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #203
I did a lot of scattered things today.
First, though, there was therapy. And on the way to there, I managed to snag a few really nice pictures of a tree for ya:
I talked a lot about you today, especially as related to how your story will influence how people in my world see and interact with abuse survivors. Thankfully, my therapist understands the implications and why I feel so strongly about what happens to you; it's going to affect actual human lives in my world. If you are slaughtered like a rabid animal, I have to wonder how many people who relate to you will fall into hopelessness and despair, thinking like they can't change their circumstances.
My world absolutely does not like people like us. They would say that we are better off never having been born. They would say that our lives are tainted and have no value. I live in a world where people say, "hey, you should totally ask for help from the people around you if you need it!" but in the same breath, they'll call you inconsiderate for "trauma dumping" if you do. They say, "you should totally open up! just be yourself, it's fine!", but then their sanctimonious platitudes quickly dry up when they realize that we don't have happy answers to the standard social questions, and all of a sudden, you're either "oversharing" or "evasive". There's no winning for folks like us in social situations, typically.
…Apparently, the only solution for it is radical acceptance of the loneliness and isolation, because people have their own traumas in response to the unreasonable expectations that society as a whole places upon us, and it doesn't look like any of that is gonna change anytime soon, because, again, as mentioned in my last letter to you, people in my world, for whatever reason, dislike talking about solvable problems. It makes them uncomfortable, so the brainstorming required to build a better world never gets done, and so more people get hurt, and so on and so forth.
It's a vicious cycle. And I'm not smart enough to know how to break it on a mass scale. And even if I was smart enough to know, my voice doesn't belong to a body or a set of life circumstances that are considered valuable, so it's not as though anyone would listen to anything that comes out of my mouth or out of my fingertips anyway.
…What can ya do, ya know? So I just weave my stupid little trees. Make my stupid little music boxes. Make my stupid little acapellas. Doodle my stupid little pictures. Cook my stupid little noms. Write my stupid little letters. Help as many folks as I can in the meantime with my stupid little bits of advice. Pretend like everything's not on fire, just like everyfuckingbody else, because doing otherwise is apparently "rude" and "cringe" or whatever else.
So that's what I did today. I worked on planning a stupid little music box to sing to. Why not.
There's a fancy one called a Muro Box. It's got some 40 notes, and it is a mechanical music box that sounds beautiful. But instead of using music box paper, it uses midi files to strike the tines. My music box paper has only 30 notes, and using the paper comes with technical limitations as to how quickly notes can play; this one has no such limitations, it seems. So I decided to play with it, using midi files I already made. There's a phone app you can use and it makes the music box play. Here's how it goes:
twitch_live
If you like, I can set my midi file to play on it; I have the app on my phone, so it won't take but a minute - just lemme know. It's the midi file that I made of "In the Earthen Womb" from Illusion of Gaia, which I then adapted to play on a 30-note box; as it turns out, it doesn't need to be adapted on a 40-note box, and so this one sounds a little better. I want one of these, but it's not in production for real yet. But you can bet your bottom that I'm gonna get it once it comes out. Making music boxes will be so much easier as a result.
In the meantime, I'll be content with my 30-note one. I've mostly finished planning the basic structure of a new tune. I'm hoping to tweak the results for accuracy in the coming days. And then, rather than punch out music box paper, I might simply arrange pre-recorded notes from my music box, with the help of Audacity, to get around the technical limitations of using paper. We'll see how it goes.
Oh right. On the way home from therapy, I ended up needing to stop at the bakery. I was marked as absent, which is strange, given the fact that I was taken off the schedule for Tuesdays, going forward. The manager of my department was absent - he is on vacation. So instead I had to go to the manager of the whole store to get it corrected. And it did indeed get corrected, and that was very good.
I decided, for my trouble, that the thing to do is get hotdogs. LOTS of them. For science:
I wanted to see which one was best. So I got all of them, and I put cheese, onions, ketchup, and mustard on them:
I decided that the best one was the knockwurst. But the White Eagle hotdogs were probably a very close second. I liked the bratwurst least, I think. And this was all I ate today, because I probably ate too much in one sitting, and my guts still feel kinda weird from it, even though this took place like 9 hours ago. Oh well.
I wonder if you've ever done stuff like this. Like, comparing similar food items to see which one you like best. Or accidentally eating too much in one sitting and feeling weird for the rest of the day as a result. I wonder what some of the more ordinary memories you carry are like.
Well. I'm gonna finish up today's letter, methinks. It's getting late, and I gotta wake up early-ish tomorrow. So I had better shower and get to bed.
Please stay safe out there, okay? So that someday you can find your way to a nice shower and a comfy bed, too. I love you. And I'll write again soon.
Your friend, Lumine

Are there any songs from the vault that you do like?
YES!! i LOVE bye bye baby, like an uncomfortable amount, the one thing demo was always one of the unreleased tracks i really liked but i think the altered lyrics are actually are a marked improvement on the song (you took my home but you just couldn’t keep me/all i have is your sympathy — they just flow better to me) and the vocal thing she does on bye byee babyYEAAAH before the last chorus just scratches an itch in my brain in the best way. i love that one!!
i also loooove that’s when — it makes total sense to me why it was left off the album bc the lyrics are a little opaque and confusing and the way she changed it around to fit the feature def doesn’t help with that issue but the melody is GORGEOUS and i do really love the line “you said honestly, did you ever think of me? and i said - that’s when, when i wake up in the morning/that’s when, when it’s sunny or storming” it’s just so cute!! (i think the perspective on that one is flipped from the og demo but i enjoy both)
i also love IBYTAM — i actually think it would’ve fit well on the album if RED had gone in a more country direction instead of leaning into the folk/pop sound that it did but i love the lyric “ill BET your friends tell you she’s BETter than me” and “i bet you couldn’t believe when you realized i’m harder to forget than i was to leave” is a brilliant line too. it’s like the sassier i almost do and i love it for that.
i also love better man, though my (blasphemous) take is that i prefer the little big town recording. their harmonies are just gorgeous on that song and i prefer the vocal inflections. babe is great too but i think better man is the superior song
i also DEEPLY enjoy foolish one, though i actually think it plays better coming out now than it would’ve as an actual speak now track!! like i think it’s a bit like fifteen in the sense that hearing it in older taylor’s voice gives it a sense of resigned wisdom, as if she’s literally talking to her younger self saying “the day is gonna come for your confessions of love” and saying, like, just stop trying so hard!! so i love it as a song and i listen to it quite a bit to remind myself of the very same thing ;)
those are probs my fav tracks. say don’t go is the only 1989 vault track that i think actually feels like 1989. my mom also LOVES message in a bottle which i think is funny. but yeah overall i think the vaults are fun but i think it’s obvious why those songs were left behind when you hear them. (like, run is a fine song but in terms of folksy ed sheeran collabs, everything has changed is just … better.)

Plum and gray fully con peach into a spa day? Maybe she lost a bet and was forced to let them pamper her, or maybe it l was an absurd fake emergency call/lockdown where they try to trap her in the spa center to get cleaned up but she's trying to macguyver her way out?
The bet was 'whoever wins picks the activity' both Grey and Plum setting up the situation so there was no way Peach could win. In all honesty she expected them to pick something more normal for their wins, often it was going to some new place, or the others doing chores or tasks for the winner. She didnt even try to win, too tired to actually care what she did, so long as they were happy. As usual her work burnt her out, she had no real motivation in her by the end of the day. Upon losing, she shrugged, looking over some exchange forms, making notes, only half paying attention to the demands of her duo. Only when Plum mentioned 'spa' did she double take, look at her confused, somewhat irked by it. Like...she mant it just for her right? Grey and Peach wuld stay back and carry on working, and she could duck out and have a nice day out being pampered. Only upon having it reitterated that they would ALL go, did it sink in that she'd have to stop doing her job, and have strangers near her, hell even touching her? Made her skin crawl. She tried to barter to get out of it, suggesting she do extra jobs or whatever in exchange, but neither of the other two listened, and so her anxiety rose while the days ticked down to the vist. She had to just do it...right? Wrong. By the time they'd coaxed her away from the office, all the way over to the mainland, late because of her delaying and fussing, it was starting to get scary. She didnt want a stranger near her, didnt want their hands anywhere on her, didnt like to be touched by random people at all. maybe it was the issue with recognising faces, maybe it was something in her childhood, maybe it was a problem with personal space, but it just made her feel sick. They had to coax her into the building, she really was digging her heels in, it was only the other two pleading that forced her hand, made her very cautiously go inside, clearly uncomfortable. While Grey and Plum relaxed, had massages, mud masks, soaked in nice smelling waters, got nails done, had foot rubs, peach spent the entire time tense. Every employee who put their hands on her made her want to run, just get up and start sprinting. But she said she'd just do this for her loved ones, so she had to just bite the bullet. When they asked she would grin and lie, say it was fine. It was not.
She left the place tense and exhausted from social interaction, but never once told them that. They looked so happy, she wasnt about to say anything to ruin it. I think they saw her pretending, as subtle as it was, she didnt look rested or calmed by it, but the second they got home, she seemed to slump into a chair and finally stop holding all her stress. Grey found a loophole about a week later, after mulling over the event and knowing she was struggling with stranger human contact, he would look at her, several pokemon hanging off her, didnt even pause what she was doing, fine with it. He proceeded to ask for an Accupressure medicham to come in and give her a massage, and finally they found a way to relax the big idiot. She didnt have the same issue with pokemon at all. He learnt a few tricks from it to help her when she had a knot or two that caused her pain.
Plum knew she likes doing her nails, often seeing her fuss over them when she had five minutes at the end of a day, so they'd instead of going and getting them done where someone would have to touch her, would have a day at home where they'd watch movies and do each others, mud masks, fancy moisturisers, all that junk. Peach seemed totally fine with it compared to the actual spa, and could even accept putting her work down for the time once she knew it was at home and free of strangers. Their realisation that she let them put their hands on her any time became quietly special, seeing as she loathed everyone else in her personal space, and recoield from stranger contact. They were the special few allowed in.

Diabolik Lovers LOST EDEN ー Subaru Dark [10]
CHAPTER MASTERLIST
ー The scene starts in the hallway at Eden
*ROAAAAR*
Yui: ( We’ve been hearing these cries non-stop since just now...I wonder what it could be? )
Subaru: Che...Such an eerie sound.
Ruki: So you two have come here as well.
Subaru: Oi. What are these cries?
Ruki: I don’t know either. It has never been this bad.
They have been getting worse with each passing day, ever since that man left this Earth...
Yui: You’re talking about Karlheinz-san, right...?
Subaru: ...You’re basically saying that it’s my fault, huh?
Ruki: ...
Yui: ( I guess...We should take his silence as a ‘yes’... )
Subaru: Haah...
Kou: Oh come on, Subaru-kun, cheer up a little!
I’m sure you’ll learn to control your powers sooner or later.
Subaru: ...
Yui: ( He looks utterly dispirited... )
Yuma: Oh come on, don’t be makin’ such a sour face.
Don’t ya think that’ll only make the situation even more shitty?
Subaru: ...I know that much.
Yui: Ah...
Selection
→ Go after him (❦)
Yui: ( I can’t let him be alone right now... )
( I better go after him...! )
Wait, Subaru-kun!
→ Leave him be
Yui: ( I wonder how I should try to comfort him when he’s so depressed...? )
( Perhaps I should just give him some space...? )
Kou: Come on, what are you doing, M-neko-chan? Hurry up and go after him already!
There’s nobody here who can lift Subaru-kun’s spirits right now except you.
Yui: Kou-kun...
...Okay. I’ll get going.
ー The scene shifts to the Chamber of Time
Yui: ( This is the place where Karlheinz-san passed his powers down to him... )
Hey, Subaru-kun?
Subaru: ...
Yui: Subaru-kun...?
Subaru: ...Say, Old Man. Why did you pick me?
I bet you’re still watchin’ from somewhere, aren’t you? Tell me...Damnit.
Yui: ( He doesn’t seem to realize I’m here... )
Subaru: Youーー ... Don’t tell me you heard what I said just now...?
Yui: Y-Yeah. Sorry.
Subaru: ...Nah, it’s fine.
...Say, what do you think I should do?
Yui: Hmー...
...Listen, while it’s very difficult to change someone else’s thoughts or opinions...
But I heard that it’s actually much easier to work on bettering yourself instead.
Subaru: ...Better oneself...?
Yui: Please don’t think your current self is bad.
But if you keep going as you’ve been doing, the situation will remain the same.
So why not try out something new for once?
Subaru: ...What, for example?
Yui: I’m a human, so I’m not very well-versed on the ins and outs of the Demon World.
Don’t you think it’d be best to try and consult your brothers about what you should do exactly?
Subaru: Haah? I need to ask those guys, out of everyone!?
Yui: Don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll understand.
Let’s go?
Subaru: ...But...
Yui: It’ll be fine. They’re your brothers after all.
Subaru: ...Guess I have no other choice. You seem pretty insistent, so I’ll listen.
Yui: Yeah!
( I hope this will point him into the right direction... )
Monologue
Subaru-kun has a bad habit,
of keeping everything to himself (自分).
However, that’s a big mistake.
The people around him are far more concerned about him,
than he realizes himself.
Just like his brothers (兄弟たち) decided to follow him to Eden this time around.
That’s exactly why I believe,
it’s totally okay for Subaru-kun to rely on his surroundings more.
I hope he will come to understand that step by stepーー
As said wish passed through my mind, my gaze remained fixed on his back.
ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー

Like you fucking piece of shit I have told you things I’ve never told anyone about and we have done things I can’t see myself ever doing with anyone else. Like are you fucking kidding me right now. So now I just go back to my mom and fucking start over? Like you need space to focus on you fucking awesome great. But you have felt this way for a long fucking time but let me fucking move states away with you. Like how fucking selfish can you be. You didn’t want me you wanted someone and it’s just totally fucked up everything I could’ve been back home working towards college and actually keeping my insurance and getting the fucking help I needed but instead I’ve been struggling my ass off all alone up here with no fucking family or friends and you get to just end it over a fucking phone call. You’re to big of a pussy to even wait till you get home. Like after 7 years and all the bullshit you’ve said and done to me I don’t even get a fucking face to face conversation with you. I deserve wayyyy fucking better than you I always have but I always thought you could get better. But you never fucking wanted to. I’ve tried to help and it never fucking mattered. Like I put my shit on hold to help you and that doesn’t fucking maytwe you can’t even do this face to face like the fucking “grown” adult you fucking are. Why do you get to make this choice that effects me this much just on ur own. Listen to ur stupid fucjing friend who can’t keep her own fucking man in check. Liek sure that’ll be awesome for you. Like that bitches man is addicted to his meds but it’s fine cause they’re prescribed. I wish the absolute worst for that bitch. But I wish you the best. I hope that you get better one day and realize how much I actually did even when you shit all over me saying it was nothing and feel bad. I hope you realize this and actually feel upset and want to reach out but you can’t. This is fucking it. I will leave and never talk to you again ever. And that’ll be that. 7 goddamn years down the drain like it means fucking nothing to you but it meant fucking everything to me. But like fuck me ig. I’ll just have to start over and tell all my personal shit to people and try to somehow find someone who can do this stupid shit I’ll never get over. I bet that’s a big fucking reason you did it too like I wasn’t honest from the fucking beginning. Like you weren’t the one being fake and lying. I wish I never would’ve ever given you a chance. I wish I would’ve just fucked my life up in different ways and avoided you forever.

I don't usually respond to these kinds of posts beyond the realm of the tags but like... jesus christ people are you fucking serious??
like i don't even know where to start with this reblog chain alone, not to even getting into all of the replies. i guess chronological order? (in fitting tumblr fashion lol)
ok so the poll itself. this is fine. it is very interesting for the data to show a statistically significant difference in opinion between trans women and the rest of the queer community. i am not judging this poll itself. i totally empathize with trans women who are put off by drag bc of the reasons listed further down. you can not like something that's popular within the queer community. in fact, it is important to listen to people who don't like popular things lest we all succumb to groupthink.
HOWEVER, the moment someone dares to say in the most non-confrontational manner possible "huh its kinda disappointing trans women don't get to enjoy this artform like everyone else" all bets are off.
Now that post might not have been trying to be condescending but the way its written it kind of is. i reiterate that i think trans women are valid for saying they have more negative feelings than positive based on their life experience. maybe some of these women ARE educated and still hold a negative opinion and that is totally fine. but the pushback goes beyond just that
"i already know that cis people respect drag queens more than they do transfems"
um? which cis people? cis people within the queer community? cishets? those are already two wildly different groups to sample, but apparently it's just cis people.. fine ok whatever maybe there's a point to be made about how crossdressing (an important tradition that's been a thing in the queer community for a long ass time) is easier to accept in a temporary performance than as part of a permanent stable identity. the resentment isn't a constructive thing necessarily but i get why its there. fine let's move on
"but I fucking hate how any time some shit happens with trans femme people's rights the news bring in fucking drag queens to talk about it, and they accept. we are not drag queens..."
ok immediately im done being charitable. what the fuck. what the fuck is this nonsense? why? what the fuck are you saying? oh my god.
what is the point of this harsh anti-drag queen stance? are you on the side of the anti-drag bills in congress? this is fucking extreme. do you think these bills exclude drag queens and cisgender crossdressers? do you think the transphobic us govt will just give these people a pass? do you the most homophobic cishet legislators can even differentiate between a trans woman and a drag queen and a cisgender gay man and a bisexual man who happens to be a twink? ALL of these people fall under the umbrella of icky sinful queer. all of them. which is the entire reason we need solidarity in the first place. i can get being frustrated (which is all the original poll really measures) but this goes beyond that. this is about the question what do with we DO with our frustration.
this shit is bad. this is the textbook example of the queer community turning against itself instead against the actual cishet oppressors. while yes cishets are chided lightly in these reblog chains for being bad (what else is new?) the vast majority of the words and analysis in this thread go towards shitting on other queer people, either drag queens directly or cisgender queer people who don't differentiate enough between transfems and drag queens or whatever. however you slice it, this is the definition of infighting. that is what is happening on this post.
i think i've mostly made my point but i'll finish with the very last lines of the last response which is the closest to reasonable:
"And I guess it just frustrates me that the people who use the idea of "queer history" as a bludgeon to tell trans women to be quiet don't know what they're talking about."
Like... telling trans women to be quiet? the snarky post saying for trans women to educate themselves on the history of drag is not silencing trans women. it is literally inviting trans women to stay in this discussion and potentially find value in this artform. that is not just shutting trans women down entirely. in fact, it kinda feels like that is what is happening to the cis queer people and cishets who like drag.
i dont' have any pulitzer prize winning arguments to make the trans women who inevitably will disagree with me see what im so concerned about. i don't know what string of words to use to get people to understand why i find this so threatening to the future of the queer community's existence. we NEED to disagree with each other respectfully. we NEED to have constructive dialogues. but what i see in this post specifically is evidence of trans women being radicalized against the rest of the queer community in real time. and why? because of resentment. supposedly drag queens are making a mockery of transfeminitity by making drag into this big public display that's watering down the queer essence into something palatable for the straights. idk. maybe that's true.
but again. what is the response? what do we DO with this information? well apparently spend a lot of time shitting on drag queens ig. the saddest thing of all is that in a lot of ways i agree with the idea that being expected to just adore drag in an uncritical uncomplicated manner because you are a queer is very annoying at best and deeply hurtful and insulting at worst. i basically have no reason to like modern drag in and of itself save for its association with the queer liberation movement and that history. i have positive feelings of drag not because of any of the times i went to a drag show and enjoyed it (a grand total of zero times) but because of the importance in my heart to support any kind of intentional gender bending in society. whether that's gender bending like they do in the new york balls in paris is burning, gender bending by being born one gender and transitioning to the other later, or gender bending by being a man indiscernible from any other cisgender average joe but still preferring to want to be with another man, i NEED to support all of it because all of this makes me safer as a queer person. sadly, it seems the separatist movements have already taken root. it seems as though individual factions of the queer community are dividing against each other in a time when gay rights have become mainstream but QUEER rights on the whole are more threatened than ever, basically the perfect breeding grounds for resentment and infighting to get out of control.
i want to emphasize the need for queer solidarity. the need to accept people even if their queerness feels like its brushing up against yours. and then i want to ask every queer person on here alongside every straight ally to ponder deeply what the POINT of this rhetoric is.
no i mean it. do it. ask yourself what the point is in being this militant against drag queens? or ace people? or intersex people? or any other hypothetical group that isn't your neck of the queer woods? why is this group of queer people gaining rights a bad thing for you? why? can you say why? and if you can, is that a valid enough reason to go to war with the rest of the queer community?
i don't care if you agree with me.
i just want you to be brave enough to ask the question without any expectations and just listen. listen to yourself, to your internal biases, to other queer people, to straight people who support you, to people who don't, it does not matter in the end. i just ask you to pose the question:
what. is. the. point. of it all?
I've gotta admit I think about this one a lot for many reasons. I'd really love to see what others think
#not even gonna tag this with basic things to get ppl to see it#gonna take the tumblr approach of 'posts with 60k notes energy#and hope it fails and nobody actually sees this post and harasses me about it#because i doubt anyone who actually messages me will have read the full post i wrote and thought deeply about it#i honestly just had to respond to this post bc i felt like NOBODY was saying these things in the replies#i don't want to be a contrarian asshole who ruffles the feathers of a group that's already being beaten into the ground#but i also can't just let people radicalize themselves into hating innocent queer ppl and queer traditions that are not the problem#i guess we'll see what comes of this

Things the MC would bring back to their demon bois from the mortal realm:
Lucifer:
MC goes to second hand stores and vintage shops always on the look out for vinyl records that they think Lucifer would like.
Most of the time they try and bring back stuff he'd actually like, such as Tchaikovsky or Vivaldi
Once, they brought back Stravinsky's Firebird Suite and Lucifer wouldn't stop kissing them (once they were in the privacy of his room of course)
Sometimes the MC will bring back more modern music just because it makes them think of him
"I dunno, I just listen to Hozier and think of you"
Lucifer doesn't like all the modern music they bring back but he appreciates the sentiment just the same
Then there's the gag gifts...
Any kind of music that has a reference to the devil or Satan or hell is fair game
These gifts usually elicit an eye roll from the eldest brother but he keeps them all the same
This is why Lucifer owns a copy of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia"
So when MC brings back a copy of Giuseppe Tartini's Violin Sonata in G minor, they're a little surprised at Lucifer's delighted reaction
"You know, I was the one who visited Tartini in his dreams."
MC's mind = blown.
"Also, this copy is cursed. I know you know how much I enjoy cursed vinyls."
"I- wait... What?!"
MC is very upset that they had a cursed vinyl in their possession this whole time
Mammon:
This boy loves stuff, and he loves MC, so he's gonna love any gift really
But MC knows he loves treasure and jewels and as much as they'd love to just bring him back nice watches and jewelery...
MONEY IS A THING, AND MC IS NOT MADE OF IT.
So MC settles for semi-precious stones instead
They always find fun and beautiful stones at museums and those metaphysical stores and they always pick out one that reminds them of Mammon
They're really nervous when they give him his first gift
"Hey, I got this for you and I know it's not fancy or expensive but I saw it and thought of you and I just wanted you to have it."
Mammon will love them until they die. He is really just so touched that MC thought of him. He'll try and play it cool though
He totally fails. MC won't tell him that though
MC brings him Lapis Lazuli and tells him it reminded them of his eyes and Mammon is now a puddle of lovesick goo on the floor
Mammon puts more shelves in his room dedicated to all the gifts MC gives him
One time MC brings him back some fool's gold in a teeny little jar on a chain, so that he can wear it
"Fool's gold? Why cuz I'm a fool?" Mammon asks with a roll of his eyes.
"What? No, cuz I'm a fool for you."
Mammon only love MC until they die? WRONG.
He's gonna love them forever now
He was gonna do that anyways
Leviathan:
C'mon, this boy is easy. Anime/manga stuff and TSL. Need I say more?
At first he'll be suspicious of MC wanting to give him gifts, but once they've convinced him that they're doing it out of the kindness of their heart he's really touched
The first thing the MC brings him is a pen with a little Ruri-Chan on the end of it
"I know it's not much, but I just happened to see it and I knew you'd like it"
Like it??????
HE LOVES IT! HE'S OVER THE GODDAMM MOON.
He's never seen anything like this in the Devildom and he doesn't think about the small stuff usually because he's too busy trying to get the big collectors edition items. So he actually really loves this.
MC continues to bring him cute small stuff like buttons and keychains and Levi loves them all.
His favorite item(s) that MC brought him is a pair of Lord of Shadows and Henry BFF enamel pins
He definitely tackle hugged MC when he got them
He gives the Lord of Shadows pin back to MC so they can each have one and show off their BFF status with them
Satan:
MC loves going to second-hand bookstores to shop for Satan.
Satan also appreciates new books, but there's something special about how his face lights up when he finds something old or rare. Anything with a little bit of history to it.
Of course, finding rare books for not a lot of money is a rare event in itself
So a safe bet is to bring Satan non-fiction, the boy loves to learn
But he really loves it when MC puts thought into finding fiction books that he would like
"I just really feel like you'd like Dean Koontz so I brought you one of my favorites by him."
Satan loves those gifts the most because he can talk to MC about the books afterwards
Satan's absolute favourite gift is a leather bound copy of Arabian Nights though
"I was thinking we could read this one together"
"Like you read it to me and pretend to be Scheherazade?" Satan suggests.
MC is flustered at the connotation of the suggestion but agrees anyways
The time they spend together reading that story will forever be one of Satan's favorite memories
Asmodeus:
He's a little harder to shop for than the MC had originally imagined
They tried bringing him make-up and skin care, which Asmo always graciously accepted, but he never seemed super excited about the gifts
But what else is to be expected from the guy who already uses only the best products?
MC suddenly gets an idea when they send Asmo a selfie of them at the park
- OMG! You're so cute! And the background is pretty too!-
MC starts dressing up and going to nice and beautiful places just with the intention of taking pictures
Botanical Gardens, museums, downtown skylines, anything that would make for a good picture
MC goes full on aesthetic art hoe just for Asmo
Only the best pictures get sent to Asmo
Asmo is LIVING for the looks their MC is serving up
- You are absolutely STUNNING! I'm in awe at these AMAZING pictures-
MC makes a scrapbook of the best pictures to give to Asmo the next time they see him
Asmo loves it and keeps it on display in his room always
Also, Asmo definitely makes MC their personal photographer after seeing the wonderful shots they took
Beelzebub:
Obviously, the boy loves food. He's always down to try new snacks from the mortal realm.
But MC wonders if there's something better that they could bring him
One day MC is at GNC for supplements for themself when they notice the workout supplements and get an idea
They grab some fun flavored protein powder and some BCAAs and a really nice shaker bottle just for Beel
Beel is actually really excited to get these gifts!
The Devildom doesn't have fun flavors of protein powder and the shaker bottle is such a great idea!
MC always brings new flavors of protein back for Beel, doing their best to find the weirdest flavors for him to try
Beel's favorite is definitely Birthday Cake.
MC starts bringing him new stuff to try too, protein bars, recovery supplements, collagen, and superfoods shakes
Beel tries everything and tells MC what their favorites are
"I love the BCAAs, I just wish the Devildom had them..." *sad Beel noises*
MC may or may not talk to Diavolo about researching BCAAs and getting them produced and sold in the Devildom
The supplements MC brings actually help Beel with his workouts and to control his hunger (a little)
Beel actually gets hotter??? Who knew that was possible???
MC definitely takes advantage of Beel's new 8-pack 😏😏😏
Belphegor:
What do you get the boy who only wants to sleep?
MC has gotten him stuffed animals and blankets and even a couple of nice pillows, but nothing seems to excite him
... but maybe that's just his personality??
It's not until MC accidentally leaves a sweater in the Devildom, that they figure it out
- You left your sweater down here- Belphie texts MC.
- Oh no, I'll just get when I come to visit y'all again-
- That's fine. I like having something that smells like you-
And the light bulb went off in MC's head.
Every time MC goes to visit they leave a shirt or sweater behind for Belphie, so that he can have something that smells like them.
Belphie loves how MC smells, its like a sweet dream all the time. It helps him sleep better when they're gone.
Belphie starts to complain when MC is gone longer than the item they left smells like them
(Which is every time)
So MC will start leaving Belphie more than one item, packing them in airtight bags so he can use them one after another until they return
Belphie can and will fight anyone who tries to take MC's clothing
"Mammon, you have two seconds to put that sweater back or I will kill you."
And Lucifer probably won't stop him
Diavolo:
He's honestly the easiest to please.
He's so fascinated with any thing that humans do that he'll enjoy any gift from the human world.
MC's first gift to him is a rubber duck.
"The duck is wearing a crown so it made me think of you and I just thought it was cute."
"I love it! What's its purpose?"
"Uh... to float around in the bathtub with you and look cute?"
"Isn't that what you're for?"
Diavolo loves the rubber duck so much it gets his own silk pillow to rest on when it's not taking a bath with Diavolo.
MC brings him cute pens, and keychains sometimes bottles of wine if the bottle is cute.
"The bottle is shaped like a cat! Isn't that delightful?!"
MC's proudest moment was when they found a full and intact tea set at the thrift store
Diavolo immediately fell in love with it.
He insists on only using that set when having tea with MC
But his favorite gift will always be the rubber duck.
Barbatos:
He'll insist that he doesn't need any gifts but that won't stop the MC.
MC is with him in the kitchen in the Demon Lord's Palace when they get an idea.
KITCHEN TOYS.
Barbatos works so hard, he deserves some things to make his life easier and liven up the bland kitchen
MC's first gift is a vegetable spiralizer.
"You use it to turn zucchini and squash and the like into noodles so that you can do fun stuff with vegetables!"
Barbatos accepts it graciously, but he'll probably never use it.
MC brings him spices from the mortal realm and Barbatos actually really loves those.
When MC brings him a food processor, he offers to cook for them right then and there
Despite all the weird gadgets MC ends up bringing him, and there are plenty out there, Barbatos's favorite is a ladle that looks like a stegosaurus.
It's far more whimsical than anything he would've ever picked out, and he'll never use it, but only because he's afraid of ruining it, not because he doesn't love it.
At some point, Barbatos does ask MC to stop bringing him kitchen gadgets
"Why? Do you not like them?" MC asks with a pout.
"I appreciate all of them, but I have everything I need when you're in the kitchen with me."
If MC wasn't already in love with him they are now
Smooth bastard just doesn't want anymore shit in his kitchen

Late Night Drives w the Batboys
warning: none
a/n: just trying headcanons lol, lmk me what you think. also, tysm once again for 100 follows you guys!!!
Dick Grayson
The drives probably happen after a date or after he picks you up from work/uni on a Friday night
First thing he does every time is turning on the radio
He’s down for whatever you like listening to, but if you’re good with anything it’s probably just pop hits
You’ll probably hear him humming some of the tunes under his breath or tapping his fingers against the wheel to match the beat
He loves talking and making conversations with you while driving
Will tell you about all sorts of crazy shit going on in his life, whether it’s about his day job or what happens during patrols
Loves listening to your stories and about the random issues going on in your life, gives great advice (when it’s not him making the decisions) and is just generally wonderful to talk to
He feels like the type of guy to take your hand while he’s driving or when you’re just sitting at a red light or stuck in traffic
You’re either going to drive around for the sake of driving around, or he’ll take you to one of Bludhaven’s docks or some hillside, some place with a nice view
Sitting on the hood of his car and just talking while he holds your hand, wraps his arms around your waist, brushes your hair out of your face
Just little things that make you know he’s paying attention and makes you feel like he really loves you, which he does
Jason Todd
If you’re in a car, he would be blasting music and it would probably be both of you screaming out the lyrics to the song that’s on
I feel like there would be a time where one of you doesn’t know the lyrics and tries to discreetly look them up without the other person realizing it
The other person totally figures that out and you never let them live it down
Probably the handsier type, one hand on the wheel while he drives, other hand resting on your thigh
Acts like he doesn’t know the effect he has on you
But he definitely does, considering how long you’ve been together
I also feel like he’d probably take you for trips on his bike instead of a car, though, so if you’re taking his bike:
He likes having your arms wrapped around him while he drives, he likes feeling you relax and resting your head against his shoulder
He loves driving, so he might just take you down long mostly-empty roads and just fly through the night
Depending on his mood and yours you could be talking about anything from his dark traumatic past to discussing how great the new chilidog place is downtown
With Jason you can literally never tell
Will probably pull over at some point to chill on his bike, talk, or kiss
He’s bad at telling you he loves you so times like these are his way of letting you know that
Driving is his way to escape, and he loves having you there with him to feel like you and him are the only things that matter for a little while
Tim Drake
You’re probably the one dragging him out of the house or his office just to get him to stop working for an hour or so
He’ll definitely protest saying he has “so much work to do” and how he’s “so close to being done”, but you both know he secretly loves taking a break just to drive with you
It’s mostly just you guys talking about absolutely anything and everything, from his life at WE to philosophical debates about stupid shit
And I mean just random, stupid shit
“If you drop soap on the floor, is the floor clean or is the soap dirty?"
“If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?"
“...Tim, is this a personal question? Because I feel like you’re talking about something you personally went through right now-”
He gets really into these kind of conversations
You’ll probably stop by a drive-through to grab something to eat while chilling in your car
He’ll let you steal his fries
Unless he was talking about how his day was going and brings up the office, he won’t even mention work
He’s definitely way more interested in you and what you have to say, he loves hearing about your problems and trying to think of ways to help you get around them
These would be some of the few times he really gets to forget about everything else and focus on just you, and he loves it
Damian Wayne (aged up)
Honey, he steals the Batmobile
Like actually, he’s done it before in the comics to impress chicks and you can bet he’d do it again
If he acts this way as a literal twelve year old imagine what he’s gonna do when he’s older
You’d have a fine time perusing around in it, clicking all the weird buttons it has just to “test out” the different functions
You may or may not have accidentally activated the flamethrowers Bruce had installed for unknown reasons
And that may or may not have ended up getting you guys caught after some poor GCPD officer on a late shift saw the Batmobile zooming down the street with a whole column of fire shooting out of it, but it ended up being okay because Damian acted like he didn’t know what his father was talking about when he was confronted with it
Otherwise, you’d probably end up on a late night drive after you and Damian decide to ditch a gala or some random fancy party
“It was far too stuffy to stay in that place, Father will understand our absence.”
“Damian, you were hosting the event.”
He lets you do most of the talking during the drive because he likes listening to you and the sound of your voice
He’ll still act all cool, but he’ll be smiling and letting out the occasional laugh at your stories here and there, adding on his own snarky comments or stories every once in a while
Instead of going home, he’ll probably want to take you somewhere to grab dinner or just to head to a nice part of Gotham to get a moment between yourselves and enjoy a pretty view
He feels like the type of guy who would really be into grand gestures and giving you the best of the best for literally everything
So your late night drives are little moments where he’s dialing all that back just to get some time alone with you, listen to you, and get to know you better
And as much as he’ll deny it to everyone else, he’d love those moments the most

Dork Solomon Agenda
You say sexy shady sorcerer I say nerd and love of my life
Solomon is a sad lonely little man why just wants a genuine connection us that so much to ask???
No but seriously like. It's totally fine if you hc Solomon as this man-turned-lowkey-sex-god with a million succubi and more at his whim whenever he wants and would be a tough one to put the ol' ball and chain on like to each their own for sure! But that's not MY hc
(Thats not to say my hc means he doesn't ever engage in casual sex like that and wanting a genuine long term relationship at some point [or finding out thats what you want when you meet someone] are not mutually exclusive yknow)
So like Solomon isn't the type to be short with you or keep you at an arm's length (i mean...u get what I mean. Once you're close enough and all that jazz) or get annoyed by you wanting to be affectionate?? Hello??
He LOVES the little things you do (some on accident tbh). You feeling affectionate today and give him a kiss or three on his face before you leave to go to your separate classes? Adorable, he's fallen in love again. You do that thing where you like.. forget how to walk straight and just accidentally bump into him? No come back he likes being close to you :( He doesn't SAY these things but there's a light, airy laugh he has that gives him away.
If you're ever facetiming he will say "boo!" when you connect instead of just. Greeting you like a normal person.
His fuckin. His devilgram name is monSOLO. My mans is a star wars fan!!! I dont know any of The Discourse bc I'm not super into star wars myself but he has IN DEPTH opinions about the movies. Seriously rivals Levi in this aspect. Please make time for movie nights where you watch the movies together 🥺 especially if you haven't seen them before he'd love to convert you 🥺
Didn't Solomon also have a thing for TSL??? Or am I just imagining it??
I feel like his ideal date would be exploring something new, whether its this new spooky forest or "hey have we been down this alley before? Let's check it out!" but ideal date number TWO is movie night. Even if it isn't Star Wars. He likes to sit on opposite ends of the couch throwing popcorn into each other's mouths (and big candies like peanut m&ms where you both have almost choked before) and maybe a footsie war if he's feeling real devious. Then at some point you grab a blanket and snuggle up to him and you both fall asleep on the couch
Simeon yells at him when you leave because there's popcorn EVERYWHERE
LOVES when you laugh super loud. Idk man he just thinks its great when you have such unbridled joy and then he laughs too 😊 not as loud though he's more of a quiet chuckle kind of guy (most of the time).
Is friends with Asmo so is extremely great at slumber party gossip. Catch him in his pajamas, cross-legged on the floor while clutching a pillow to his chest and listening intently to you rant about the brothers.
"Come here I have a secret to tell you" (blows air in your ear) "okay okay I'm sorry but come here again" (blows air on your neck) "okay okay last time! I actually have something to tell you. Please? Its important...." (kisses ur cheek) "like u a lil bit xo"
Never the type to send "good morning beautiful" or "good night 💞" texts. Instead he'll send you something at 4 am like "the infinite cosmos will eventually swallow whole all familiarity and life as it is now presently known and despite the adaptations humans or demons or angels could make i will still have to adapt and face the world as an alien in the realm I love so dearly. Funny how the strongest of beings bow to the whim of space and time. But sometimes my eternal journey doesn't seem so daunting when I realize that with my everlasting life will be the memory of you no matter how distant and the survival of the vessel you loved...."
And then at lunch that day when the brothers pull you away he'll send you a picture of the lasagna they're serving with "this kinda looks like you? Don't worry I'd still hit it" and then two minutes later "you not the pasta"
Is the type to think randomly "oh damn I love you so much" but has an impressive filter about it. Or he thinks he does until Luke grumbles "ugh get a room thats the fifth time you've seen that since monday" ok, sometimes he has a good filter about it
He can't help it! Sometimes you just say something really smart (or something SPECTACULARLY dumb) or you do something cute like lean on him or smile a specific way or-
Sir.....you're head over heels sir :/
The type who would go to a playground at night with you and just swing on the swings talking about life
Wants to have a secret handshake with you!!
If you're ever on a road trip with just the two of you, you can get him to join in on the terrible singing but he'll be a lot quieter than you
Also will only join in if he isn't driving. If he is and you aren't talking, he's just humming underneath his breath. Will drum on the steering wheel though
Cooking
(Yes, it gets its own section because MAYBE I'm obsessed with the idea of MC teaching Solomon to cook and the food still turning out terrible but at least it isn't a void when MC is helping)
The type to flick water at you every time he washes his hands. Will chase you down just to do it.
"Hey, tilt your head back and open your mouth MC" (proceeds to dump too big a handful of shredded cheese in your mouth)
100% the type to lean over you just to hinder your cooking abilities. Who cares if the sauce splashes he's tiiiired.... you'd let belphie do it :(
Puts a hand on your lower back when he passes behind you. Hopes you'll lean into it/step back and offer him a kiss 🥺
Believes in always having a proper table setting. Prepare for whatever juice they have (or water) in wine glasses if you're having a nice-er meal
Under the assumption that a spell ruined his sense of taste (and not that he's just bad at cooking) he hates spicy food. He can feel the burn but he gets none of the flavor??? Wack. Don't hurt him like that MC. If you do because its hilarious to watch him try to be cool about it he will pout
Gets cheesy aprons. He just likes them.
Will hit you on the top of your head with a whisk to hear the noise it makes
Will buy every kitchen hack tool there is. A ketchup dispenser that looks like a gun? He's got it. A fish that helps you squeeze out the egg yolks? Yes! A dinosaur soup ladle? You bet! Pizza scissors? A tool that makes hard boiled eggs into cubes? Something that's gotta be like 200 years old and no discernable purpose? Absolutely! He wants a hot dog toaster. Do they even have hot dogs in the devildom?
Will sneak bites just because it bothers you
Overall
Look at him. He hasn't had friends in centuries. He's playful!
Look at his DEVILGRAM NAME
His funky little WAND
This is a man who is a huge nerd, thrives off of cliches and just wants to have a good time. So let him! Its mentally exhausting having those pretenses up all the time.

She Knows Part 2, (Wolffe x Reader)
OH BOY. First I'm sorry this took me so long I've been busy with college. But! this is the longest fic or anything really I've written so wow. Hopefully you enjoy.
Warnings: angst, mentions of Alcohol, mentions of cheating slight smut (minors do not interact or read).
Note: italics are flashbacks
“So, what do you usually do during leave?” the question threw you a little of guard. You’d been stationed with the 501st for four months now, four months since you’d broke it off with Wolffe after… everything. You had been the head medic in the 104th battalion, but quickly put in a request for a transfer after the humiliation Wolffe had put you through. The only position available was with the 501st, working under their head medic, Kix. It was a demotion sure, but honestly it took a lot of stress of your shoulders and well, anything to get away from the situation you were in.
Working with Kix almost 24/7 forced you two to grow close and form a close relationship. It was more of a brotherly/sisterly love than anything else, though others saw how well you two had worked together and insisted you would make a good couple, you both were comfortable where you were, which you were grateful for, it was nice to have a friend as kind and understanding as Kix.
Tomorrow the whole battalion would be stationed on Coruscant, the general had some jedi duties to attends to and the war was at a standstill for the moment, giving the men time to relax instead of being thrown under another general for a while.
You had been checking bacta supplies when Kix happened to spring this question on you. Freezing your hand in motion as you had begun to type up an order to restock while planet side. You’d never actually had a leave without Wolffe. Most of the time on leave was spent in that dark corner of 79’s, the other half in a hotel bed.
“Mesh’la, come on, up. I promised the men we’d meet them tonight for a round.”
“But I don’t wanna go Wolffe can’t we just stay here? The sheets are so soft and I don’t feel like wearing clothes.” You’d whined.
“I already told them we would be there, now come up before I drag you out of bed.”
“you wouldn’t,” you peeked your head out from under the covers, narrowing you eyes at him, he stood at the foot of the bed, wearing his blacks sans shirt. He himself had just untangled from you and the sheets. How he had the willpower to do so you had no clue. He dawned his famous predatory smirk on his face
“Are you questioning my word Mesh’la, because you know I always keep my word.” He took a step forward, his thighs now touching the mattress.
“of course not Wolffe,” you gave him a sweet smile, “but I bet I could change your mind.”
“oh?” he raised an eyebrow. “do tell.” He placed his hand on either side of your feet, leaning over the bed
“why don’t you come up here and find out.”
With one swift move Wolffe was on top of you now and you brought your hands to his face pulling him in and kissing him, it was rough and passionate, you really didn’t want to leave and you wanted him to know that, hoping he would see how desperate you were and decide to stay. But after a few moments he pulled back, looking down at you with that damn smirk again, “that was quite convincing.”
Before you could retort anything Wolffe had left from his position on top of you, yanking you up to your feet in the process, “but unfortunately like a said before, I am a man of my word and I already gave it to my brothers, sorry mesh’la but you’ll have to show me your negotiating skills another time, I promise ill make up for it.”
“To be honest Kix I’ve never really done much with my leave time, ya know? I just kinda destress and go out every once in a while.”
“Oh? Well do you have any plans for our first night off then? Me and a couple of the boys are gonna be at 79’s if you’d like to join.”
The mention of 79’s made your heart skip a beat. You hadn’t been back there since you’d found out about Wolffe. “I don’t know Kix,” you sighed, 79’s was a clone bar, and also a favorite hangout spot for the man you had been trying to forget about.
“oh come on, you think Jesse’s a horrible flirt now, just wait till you see him drunk, you’ll be laughing so hard your stomach will be sore in the morning.”
You snorted a laugh in response, Jesse and you were also pretty close, but he was notorious for always trying out stupid pick-up lines on you, he took every opportunity he could to flirt with you, even when he had gotten injured and you were stitching him up, “you look so pretty when your concentrated.” He had said.
But the issue at hand still itched in the back of your mind, what if Wolffe was there? Going back to your holopad, typing up the order you were previously working on to make yourself seem less concerned about your next question you asked him, “the 104th isn’t on leave right now are they?”
“no I don’t think so, why?” Kix had since turned around focusing on organizing medical supplies to help you order.
“Nothing, just, ya know making sure.” You’d told Kix about what happened between you and Wolffe. Just about every clone knew you two were dating, Wolffe always had to make it known you were his. So Obviously everyone was curious as to what had happened.
He turned and looked at you, realizing what you meant, “Oh Kriff, this is your first leave without him isn’t it?”
You nodded, too afraid, after months of finally getting yourself together you didn’t want to revert back to breaking down again.
“Hey listen, if you don’t want to be there I understand. But maybe it would help ya know? We’ll all be wasted you’ll totally forget about him I promise we’ll have a good time.”
It was very convincing, you’d seen the 501stparty and 79’s before, they went hard, unlike Wolffe who was usually more private and reserved. That didn’t mean you two still didn’t have fun in your own way on leave.
Much to your dismay you’d put on a dress and Wolffe had dragged you to 79’s anyways. The second you’d stepped into the place the music and dark lighting consumed you. It was loud tonight. The 501st was celebrating a successful occupy over a separatist world and you could tell. The blue armor was spread throughout the crowd, some at the bar hitting on the women already occupying it, and some on the dance floor.
You wished Wolffe danced more with you, you loved to dance but he only ever accompanied you once, and that was after a drinking competition with Thorne who was hard to beat. He didn’t even remember it in the morning.
Without a second glance to all the men, Wolffe grabbed your wrist and led you back to the booth he always sat at. Instead of the usual commanders, Sinker and Boost sat there awaiting their commanders arrival after being promised a drink with him. You slid into the booth and Wolffe sat right up against you.
He was broad so he took up most of the space, he always presented himself in such a way that he was always there, chest puffed out, shoulders broadened and head held high. When he got situated he spread his legs, taking up more space and knocked his with yours. The two of you practically sat in each other’s lap with how close you were to each other. he placed his hand on your thigh, resting just below the sundress you and reluctantly put on earlier.
It was a last resort to get him to stay in with you. It was his favorite. The first time he saw you in it he’d practically kneeled before you, although you were sure he was just trying to get a peak underneath.
Four shots were already at the table when you two had arrived and Sinker, who was sitting in front of you, had passed one your way while Wolffe grabbed his own downing it without even flinching.
As the night drove on, the men began to become tipsy and Wolffe’s hand grew higher and higher. It was when Boost was at the climax of telling you a story from before you had signed on with them that Wolffe finally breeched your center, rubbing his index finger over the already wet spot in your panties.
You jumped, not expecting him to be so bold as to touch you in front of his men. You turned to look at him but he was looking straight on at Boost, absolutely engrossed in the story he was telling. Without making eye contact he leaned over, giving you a small peck on your temple, while at the same time, he pushed you underwear over to the side and slipped a finger into you.
His face was flushed, from the alcohol or the devious act he was performing you couldn’t tell. It was probably a mix of both. Wolffe rarely showed PDA in public especially in front of him men. So you were practically in shock with what was happening right now.
You went to grab a sip of your drink while he slowly pumped his finger a few times before deciding to add another. You let out a chocking noise.
“Hey you okay?” Sinker seemed concerned at your reaction.
“Yeah, yeah just fine, drink must’ve gone down the wrong piper there” you tried to play it off.
He bought it just fine, resuming the conversation that had started up after Boost’s story. When you turned to look at Wolffe again he was wearing that shit eating grin he often dawned and maker you wanted to wipe it clean off.
When Sinker and Boost were distracted enough, Wolffe leaned into you, “come on now mesh’la, I did say I'd make it up to you, and as I recall we’ve already proved I’m a man of my words.”
“Well I guess a few drinks wouldn’t hurt.” You thought back to all the times you’d seen blue armor on the dance floor and envied the fact you hadn’t been there as well, “but I better get a couple of dances out of you guys”
Kix chuckled, “I can promise you, if you stop by for long enough those men will be fighting over who gets to dance with you next.”
You bellowed out a laugh at that. The thought of Jesse, tup and the rest fighting over you was quite the scenario. “Just comm me what time you boys are gonna be there at.”
He nodded his head in agreement, both of you chatting lightly about other topics as you finished the order.
****************************************************
The ship had landed a few hours ago, longing for a good night’s sleep you had left the barracks for the stay, packing up your necessities and checking into a hotel a few blocks out of the main traffic for some peace and quiet.
As you were getting ready for your night at 79’s Kix had sent you a comm message, letting you know they were on their way and would be arriving in 10 minutes. All you had left to do was dress yourself. You rummaged through the bag of clothes you had. It wasn’t much, mostly GAR issued scrubs and a few dresses. You heart stopped when you saw the dress though. The one that was always Wolffe’s favorite. You picked it out, holding it up so you could see the whole thing.
Kriff. This dress brought back so many memories. It almost hurt to look at it. if you were being completely honest with yourself though, you did look damn good in it. screw it you thought. Time to make better memories in it.
After you slipped the dress on you hailed an air taxi to 79’s once inside you scanned the bar, looking for the men who were going to take up your evening. You spotted them at the bar ordering drinks and from the looks of it Jesse was already on his shit and flirting with the bartender.
You walked up to them and their heads turned. Jesse let out a whistle, “Damn, look at you! If I didn’t know any better I'd say you were trying to entice me.”
Kix shook his head at that. Putting his face into his palm. Tup who happened to be standing beside Jesse elbowed him to which Jesse frowned at. “Could you not flirt with my favorite medic?” he turned to you, “you look nice by the way, but not in a creepy I want to get with you way like he meant.”
You let out a giggle. You were already having a great time and you hadn’t even been in the building for five minutes. You took a seat at the bar between Kix and Jesse, Tup to the other side of him.
As the night ticked by you happened to get pretty tipsy, never getting truly drunk for fear you couldn’t make it back to your hotel safely. The men held their alcohol well though and although they were drinking twice as much, they were probably the same level intoxicated as you were. You all stayed at the bar, cracking jokes and telling insane stories, often Jesse would flirt with you or the bartender but it wasn’t too much and you both welcomed the light heartedness attention he gave.
An hour in you heard a voice behind you, “Hope I didn’t miss too much.” You swiveled in the bar seat, turning around to be face to face with the captain of the 501st.
“Captain!” Kix exclaimed, “what took you so long?”
“Sorry boys had a few reports I needed to fill out before the night ended.”
“Well, were glad you here now.” You said.
You got up to give the captain a hug. Something you defiantly wouldn’t do sober, but the alcohol had given you a little confidence. Rex looked surprised by the affection but embraced you anyways. He leaned down and you put your chin over his shoulder patting him on the back staying like that for a second.
It was then that you wished you hadn’t hugged Rex, hadn’t drank as much to give you a confidence boost, and hadn’t stepped a foot in this maker forsaken bar again.
He sat there, in the seat he always sat in when he came here. Only this time he wasn’t with any of his troopers or the other commanders. This time he was with another girl. She was a purple Twi'lek and she was drop dead gorgeous. And the dress she was wearing, or lack thereof because of how tiny it was , made you look like you had just picked yours straight out of the garbage. And you couldn’t help but wonder.
Was that her?
“Kriff Wolffe, what the actual Kriff!” you screamed, you didn’t care about the other guests in the hotel, you were so mad you were practically seeing stars.
“I'm sorry mesh’la I'm sorry I'm so so sorry.”
“No. No! don’t you dare call me that right now. I can’t – I don’t even have words for you right now.”
“please, please let me explain,”
You whipped you head around to him, seeing a whole new layer of red. “Explain? What is there to explain Wolffe. You cheated on me then proceeded to not tell me while apparently everyone else knew and I found out through one of your brothers! Isn’t that enough of an explanation.”
You sat down on the bed, head in hands. He kneeled down in front of your feet. Placing his hands atop of your knees. “I'm sorry.” He whispered. You slapped his hands off you, the thought of him touching you after another woman practically revolted you.
“you already said that.”
“I know, and I mean it I am, it was a mistake, I- if I could take it back I would, Maker I- I hate myself for letting it happen.”
“you should hate yourself.”
“I do, I do. Please, tell me what I can do to make this better.”
For a man who was supposed to be well tactical he kept making all the wrong moves.
“Wolffe there is no making this better. What’s done is done and now it's time to move on.” you finally made your decision, after debating back and forth in the air cab on how to react.
“Yes of course let’s move on, it was in the past but I love you Mesh’la I want you that’s all.”
Kriff that’s not what you meant. “No Wolffe, I mean I’m moving on. from you. I- I can’t continue to be with someone who has done what you’ve done. It's- it's not fair to me.”
By this point tears were strolling down your face. You turned your head to wipe them, not wanting him to see how much he had broke you. “no, no please I- I love you please we can fix this we can work this out please just stay I- I need you.”
“I love you too Wolffe, but there is no fixing this. I loved you so much that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you, I gave you everything thing, I gave you all of me and you took that and you stomped on it, you might as well of placed my heart in a dumpster and set it on fire.”
He put his head in your lap. A single tear rolling down his face. “please, please don’t go, I'm so sorry.”
“I know Wolffe. But I can’t accept your apology.”
Your head was pounding. He wasn’t supposed to be on Coruscant right now. Kix had said so himself. You pulled back from Rex. He placed his hands on your shoulders his face blocking the view of him. He smiled warmly but his expression quickly changed when he saw yours.
“you look like you’ve seen a ghost” he joked.
But you facial expression didn’t lighten, in fact it only got worse. With every waking second, every harsh beat of whatever hit song was playing over the speakers you drew yourself inwards more and more.
“hey hey what wrong?” Kix had left his seat at the bar quickly coming to your side. Him and Rex both dawned a look of concern.
“You said he wouldn’t be here.” You turned to Kix, channeling you emotions onto him.
He looked confused at first, but the realization hit him and he turned his head to look over Rex’s shoulder. Rex followed his line of vision and they both saw him. Sitting there in the booth, while the woman clung to him, practically in his lap.
She was kissing his neck, which honestly surprised you, Wolffe was never one for public displays of affection. Or maybe that was just with you. Because he seemed to be enjoying this.
Rex turned around to face you again, a look of panic and empathy on his face, “Kriff I'm so sorry I- he was on a solo mission with General Koon and they’re stationed here for the night so I told him I’d be here. I'm so sorry, it was an honest mistake.”
It wasn’t the first time you’d heard that from a man in this room.
You felt like the whole room was spinning, be that the alcohol or the nervousness and upset that came with seeing him again you weren’t sure. All the men you had come here with were suddenly surrounding you with sympathetic looks and it felt like someone had placed a spotlight on you and you just wanted it to go away.
This night was meant to help you forget him, be happy and have fun with your new assigned battalion. Kriff was the so much to ask for!
“hey hey come on now,” Jesse finally broke the silence, “forget about him! If I remember correctly I promised you a dance earlier?”
This made you finally break out of your trance. You needed a distraction, and had been waiting for someone to dance with all night.
“actually I would love to Jesse.”
“right this way then”
He held out his hand for you and took you to the dance floor. The song that was playing was loud and upbeat, you and Jesse moved together to the beat, it was fun and you really enjoyed it, when the beat of the song dropped everyone on the dance floor was jumping to it, you and Jesse did the same
When the song stopped, you were practically out of breath, you let out a laugh of relief, actually feeling a little better. You looked up are Jesse and he was smiling at you.
“Feeling better, huh?” he asked.
“A little, thank you.”
A few second later another song had come on. This time it was more slow, the partners on the dance floor started to grab each other.
Jesse grabbed your waist. “Come on huh? let’s give that son of a blaster something to look at, plus this might be the only time I get to be this close to you, despite my attempts” he smirked at you.
You nodded your head, letting out a giggle at his lame excuse to flirt with you again. You wrapped your arms around his neck and he pulled you in closer, your chest practically touching his. And finally you both started to sway to the beat.
A few seconds in Jesse started rubbing his thumbs on your hips, trying to calm your nerves, and it worked. Caught up in the music you started to lightly grind your hips into his, although it was soft guarded by his armor, he still took notice to it. smirking at you and grinding in time with you. His hands started to rise, growing closer and closer to under your breasts, but never reaching, knowing he would be crossing a line, and although Jesse was a flirt, his last intention was to make anyone uncomfortable.
He nuzzled his head into the crook of your neck. You could feel his breathe on your skin, and his nose rubbing up and down. He placed a soft his on your shoulder and the next thing you knew you were being turned around. His hand were back on your waits, but his cheat was now pressed up against your back. He gave you a harsh grind into your ass and you gasped. His arms now wrapping around you, pulling you impossibly tight into him. His head resumed its spot into your neck.
“is this okay,” he whispered into your ear.
“yeah.” You breathed. He kissed you neck this time. but it was just one short one, it was slow, and hot, you closed your eyes. he placed them all the way up your neck, all the way up to your jaw. All the way close to your mouth, and he whispered again, is this okay.
You nodded your head, eyes still closed and you turned you head towards him a little encouraging him. And his lips met yours.
You hadn’t kissed very many people. Wolffe giving you the majority of your experience. and although they were clones, they felt completely different. When Wolffe used to kiss you he practically stole your breath, he put everything he had into kissing you, and it was almost always hot and it made your insides flip, no matter how many times he kissed you, you always felt dizzy and perfectly happy, like his kissed could cure any problemed you had. To say Jesse was a bad kisser would be a lie, it was a good kiss, but it almost made you feel the opposite, all you could think about was Wolffe.
And when the song ended and you opened your eyes you were facing him again. Him. And he was sitting there with his lounge practically down the woman’s throat. And it hurt, hurt to know that he didn’t even acknowledge you. Hadn’t even cared that the person he once begged to stay with was with someone else now. Even though you weren’t actually. It hurt that he used to kiss you like that and now he was kissing someone else like that.
you weren’t sure if it was the beginning of the next song, or if your head was going fuzzy, but all you could hear was ringing in your ears. Jesse had unwrapped his hands from around you and the moment he did you sprang towards the doors of 79’s.
you heard the faint sounds of Jesse, rex and Kix calling out for you but you couldn’t be bothered to hear what any of them had to say. You left the building and walked a few blocks. Finally coming across an empty alley. You pressed you back against the cool metal of the building you were beside and let out a breathe. The air was cool and crisp against your skin, but it felt good.
After all the time you spent forgetting about him you were practically back at square one. And it pissed you off. How dare he have this effect on you.
You let out a sigh, gathering your emotions. And when you finally felt calm enough you went to comm Kix, letting him know you’d be going back to your hotel for the rest of the night, but you were interrupted.
“Mesh’la.”
ending notes: soooo, im not sure if im gonna do another part on this or not, i have some ideas for other fics but im kinda cramped on time at the moment so we shall see.

nct dream as your boyfriend
nct dream x gn!reader
fluffy boyfriend!nct dream headcanons because it's 2 am and i'm all up in my head <3 also because i have no motivation to work on dont need it and am holding it off as much as i possibly can before finalizing it <3
lee mark
just the softest boy
we already know he really enjoys playing the guitar
so i feel like he’s the type to wake up at like 3 in the morning with a melody in mind
like he wakes up in cold sweat because he has such a good idea and he CANNOT forget it
he’d record a snippet of it and send it to you after he perfects it
but this is rare because he’d rather hear your reaction
mark isn’t the type to facetime; he’d rather just call you or just come over to see you in person
so a lot of the time you’d get an incoming phone call
at 3 in the morning
because he forgets the time when he’s immersed in his craft
and because it’s a phone call, he can’t see you squinting at your phone
but you’d try your best to not make it obvious that you were already asleep
and then he’d go on and on about how he was in the middle of writing something and thought about you
his voice literally just wakes you up because he’s so excited over his creation
“ready to hear it?”
and after playing it for you he’d have the widest, goofiest smile on his face
he’d be so proud of yourself after you give him a personal round of applause
but his grin doesn’t stay on for long because there’d be banging on his wall from his housemates telling him to shut up
this happened so often that they don’t even have to say anything, just forcefully tap their wall and he’d get the hint
usually then, he’d finally realize how late-or technically, early- it was getting
“ah shit, fuck were you sleeping when i called?”
and you’d just chuckle because he’s so damn cute
and then you’d remind him how much you love and enjoy his hobby
and how it makes you happy getting to listen to him play his guitar
“you do know you don’t have to pick up, right?”
but you’d just smile even wider and he could hear it over the phone and he’d smile too
your smile is so endearing to him
and when he was the reason you’re smiling, it sends him through the clouds
because how could HE be the cause of such a beautiful smile
“hey, baby?”
“yeah, mark?”
“i love you.”
and you’d giggle so hard because he still gives you butterflies
“i love you, too, mageolli.”
“bro, did hyuck teach you that?” he squeaks
another bang on his wall makes him jump and he ends up whispering to you for about another hour
huang renjun
this man loves to read, so whenever he’s reading a book he really likes, he’d annotate it with the intentions of giving it to you
sometimes he’d highlight funny things and write little notes like “this made me laugh and i thought you’d like it too”
so fucking endearing let me tell you
and when he comes across romantic lines, he’d highlight them in pink and write little notes on how it reminded him of you
when he’s done with the book and gives it to you, you’d find cute little highlighted portions with notes and messages directed for you
sometimes, he’d write you cute little messages on the inside cover, kind of like an introduction to his annotations
he’d also write a mini introduction to the content of the book, but in his own cute way
“i found this book really funny (those funny scenes are highlighted in yellow) and there were a lot of scenes where the interactions between the two main characters reminded me of you and i, so those are highlighted in purple”
and a bunch of other notes related to his annotations
the back cover has a mini summary and all his personal thoughts after finishing the book
“could they BE anymore stupid? he should have confessed to her when…” and many more angry-renjun reactions
there was one time he was reading pride and prejudice and came across this line
“in vain i have struggled. it will not do. my feelings will not be repressed. you must allow me to tell you how ardently i admire and love you.”
he was about to pull out his highlighter and smear the bright pink across it but pauses
and then he just slams the book closed because he remembers how much of an asshole mr. darcy was in this book
and how much he hated pride and prejudice
he was only reading it again because you asked him to read it with you
the two of you often picked out your favorite books and had the other one read it and discuss it with each other after you both finished
kind of like a personal book club
this time around you picked this wretched book and he was not having it
but then you pulled out the puppy eyes
he gagged in front of you and asked that if he’d read it with you, you wouldn’t pull that shit again
internally he loved it, he just doesn’t like showing it physically
anyways, after slamming the book shut he stood up from the couch but was so pissed off with the fucking book that he called you
“babe, why is lizzy so fucking idiotic?”
you’re just as confused as he is, but for a totally different reason
“i know we’re supposed to discuss when we’re finished but i just cannot read this book anymore.”
lee jeno
the type of boyfriend that has a really hard time expressing his feelings in words
so he’d show it in his actions instead
his love language is most likely physical touch
but at the same time he seems like the type to not enjoy too much physical affection in public
yet he still needs to be touching you: always
just small gestures to keep in physical contact with you
it reassures him that you’re still there
in public, he’d make an effort to hold pinkies
like he’d interlock them when you’re walking around the grocery store or just when you go on walks together
oh yeah, jeno really likes walks
like when the two of you are having a really rough day or when you’re both just not in the best mood, he’d ask to go on walks to clear your minds
it’s his way of telling you that he’s there for you
on the rough days, instead of holding your pinky, he’d intertwine your hands instead
and when you guys argue over things and he doesn’t know what to say, he’d leave the room for a bit so that you don’t say things you don’t really mean to each other
jeno is a good man, he was raised right
so he KNOWS when he’s at fault
and when he realizes what he’s done and takes all the things you say into consideration, you’d hear the sink running or the vacuum turn on
he’d clean your apartment for you as an apology
back to the physical touch aspect of him
rare *public* back hugs here and there but only around people he’s comfortable with
but when you’re alone??
he would literally CLING onto you, personal bubble does not exist to this man
wraps his arms around your waist when you cook or do the dishes, playing footsies when you eat, all of that
sometimes when you’re both on the couch doing work on separate laptops he’d make it a literal mission to be in physical contact with you
like even if it interferes with his work, he’s gotta be touching you
he’d have one leg thrown over your torso if your hands are too busy with something
it’s really endearing because if you moved at all, like even just a little and he wasn’t able to have a part of his body on yours, he’d start pouting
he’d reach his arms or legs out in a grabbing motion and not say anything
and then you’d have to reposition yourself so that the two of you would be able to work and he still be able to touch you
and his smiles, the fucking smiles when he gets to hold your hand after you guys finish working on whatever you needed to work on
his cuddles are top tier too, and he’d make sure you guys get at least 30 minutes of cuddles a day
lee donghyuck
the whiniest, most annoying (but adorable) boyfriend ever
like jeno, he needs to be in physical contact with you, but instead of quietly pouting or reaching for you, he’d YELL
“y/n! hold my hand!”
“but i’m typing-”
“babe, hold my hand!!!!” *intense pouting*
he normally drops it when he knows you’re actually busy, but when he knows you’re just watching a movie or something, he keeps pestering you until you hold his hand
and when you do, he takes the opportunity to POUNCE on you like he just deadass lays on top of you
and you let him because it’s actually really comforting having his weight on top of you
NOSE KISSES!!!!!! lots of those
and forehead pecks
it goes both ways, though, because he likes receiving those too!!!!! fairness!!!!!
he’s the type to play tricks on you, but never takes it too far because he doesn’t want to hurt you in any way
and he spoils you a lot
like not with materialistic things (though sometimes he does) but more with arguments and when it comes to picking what to do/eat for the day
he’s the type to always think before his actions, yet when he’s around you, all logic is thrown to the side
“you wanna go bungee jumping? bet!” (even though he’s afraid of heights)
he gets two of everything when he goes to the store; one for him and one for you
and when you first started dating, you got a bit shy because of this due to the fact that he’s spending extra on you
you felt bad he was spending extra money so whenever you were buying things, you followed his habit and do the same thing
and for the first couple months he’d say that it’s fine and everything but when you both got really comfortable around each other, he’d be really witty with his comebacks
“no, i don’t wanna share with you” or “pay me back then”
sometimes the casual, “no, you’re gonna eat all of it and leave me nothing”
soon enough, the two of you fell into the habit of buying two of everything wherever you went (besides the things that you both know the other person hates)
also, when you first started dating, a lot of it was just casually hanging out at a park or walking around a random neighborhood and getting food nearby
street food you can take on the go >>>> food from fancy restaurants
and also, when you first started getting snacks for each other and he didn’t know what you liked, he got one of everything
like for example, the first time you guys had a movie night at your place, he went to the store but didn’t know what brand of chips you preferred so he bought both kinds
(he learned that day what your favorite snacks and brands were and he remembered it forever)
na jaemin
HUGS!
jaemin is the king of hugs, like no one, absolutely NO ONE can beat him when it comes to hugs
they’re always so warm and he always knows whenever you need one
he’s kind of like a battery pack, so whenever you hug him, you feel recharged and energized
because all his hugs are full of love and you can literally feel it radiating off of him
“jaems, i need-”
you can’t even finish your sentence because he’s already engulfing you
“i know, baby”
sometimes you’d tease him and say things like, “i was gonna ask for some water” or some shit like that and he’d get all pouty
and when he’s about to let go, you just pull him into you more
so obviously, he’s another fan of physical affection
but unlike jeno and hyuck, he’s not quite the clingy type
he will give you your space and will not invade your personal bubble, but instead just show that he’s there by doing other things
whenever he sees that your water glass is half empty, he’d go refill it
would always ask if you wanted a snack
would feed you his food when you were busy working on your laptop
just little actions to show that he’s paying attention to you
you pick up on his habit and slowly become more tentative too
he’s also the type that shows the overprotective type of affection too
like, when it gets cold and he notices you shiver a little, he’d immediately take off his sweater/hoodie/jacket, whatever, and give it to you
or whenever your clothes seem to be bothering you, he’d offer you his shirt or pants or anything for you to feel more comfortable
he really enjoys cooking for you, so you’d have little cooking dates every once in a while where he teaches you a recipe or you teach him something
and it always either ends up in a disaster or a really appetizing success, no mediocre food in this household
the disasters are normally when you’re in charge of the cooking because you get distracted by jaemin’s crackheadery
he talks to the fucking vegetables and asks them how their day was before chopping them up, like what the fuck?
the normally tentative jaemin gets distracted because he’s making you laugh
he loves hearing you laugh, so he keeps doing what he’s doing to get to hear it more
so sometimes you forget you’re boiling something, you forget there’s something on the stove and shit starts spilling out
you’re both panicking and looking for the fire extinguisher
jaemin just ends up smacking it with whatever he’s holding and the flames go out and you both end up laughing and rolling around on the floor for the next 10 minutes
zhong chenle
can be the most evil or the most adoring boyfriend, there is no inbetween
like some days, he’d tease you to the point you ignore him while other days he’s all cuddly, snuggled up against you while hyping you up like you’re some sort of insta baddie
but a constant is that he will ALWAYS call you cute
you say something stupid? “cute.”
you CALL him stupid? “how cute!”
you drop your phone in the toilet? “cute.”
he has an obsession with that word, but it doesn’t really bother or annoy you because you really like hearing him say it
even when you guys play video games
you’re both beast at battle royale games, so you’re both constantly playing with one another
you guys normally don’t play when you see each other/ meet up because you spend that time doing other quality couple things
like bicker over what to order or where to get boba from for the day
so instead you guys normally play video games together at 3 in the morning after finishing up all your work for the day
whenever you’d knock down an enemy, you’d hear him from the other end of the phone shouting things like, “y/n that kill was so sexy!” (he picked that up from jaemin)
when you make noises after either missing or hitting your target, he’d chuckle to himself and mumble a little, “cute.”
soon enough you’re also picking up the habit and calling him cute all the damn time too
at first, he insisted that you stopped calling him cute because it was HIS line
“babe, i know i’m adorable, but stop calling me cute.”
“no.”
more bickering because he is so persistent
eventually got used to it and you two would have little squabbles over how the other is overusing it when you're BOTH doing it
not normally the type to be showing physical affection, but will cuddle when he’s sleepy
he feels safe when he’s holding you so he’s at peace and can fall asleep easily
he probably likes petting your hair when he’s the big spoon, and likes it when you pet his hair when he’s the little spoon
OMG WAIT he’s probably the type to have you lay on his lap (or vice versa) and just play with your hair (or have you play with his hair)!!!!!!!
like y’all are just chilling on the couch watching some basketball game and he just lays on your lap out of nowhere
“time for human contact!”
you’d just laugh and start combing your hand through his hair and he closes his eyes and ends up falling asleep
park jisung
the best friend type of boyfriend where the most couply thing you end up doing is going yo the zoo and feeding animals
he really likes when you guys go to the gift shop and play with the little toys they have
he’s super interested in the little things and is fascinated by everything big and small
you find that shit so cute and secretly take pictures of him staring at the miniature figures of lions
he catches on after seeing you changed your wallpaper to a picture of him holding a giraffe puppet and having it look at him
he holds your finger when you walk around so that you both don’t get lost
but his hands are really big compared to yours, so you switch to holding his finger instead and he physically melts because he thinks it looks so cute
i think your typical dates are the ones that involve a lot of walking around BECAUSE of the fact that you hold onto his finger
(jk, but like...he just thinks it’s really cute)
(so much so that it becomes a habit when you’re just hanging out)
(watching a movie? here, hold my finger. grocery shopping? here, hold it.)
you guys go to the amusement park often too
you hold onto each other’s fingers and wander around the park looking for rides that jisung can ride because he's scared of action
but you like roller coasters, and jisung always feels bad because you never ride them when you two go together
so one time, when there was one you really wanted to go on but you knew it would have scared jisung
so you decided to pass up on it because you didn’t want to leave him alone
but he was noticing how your eyes kept lingering on the coaster and he broke
“y/n, i’ll go on it with you”
and you’re shocked because you didn’t even say you wanted to go on it, like you just looked at it but he caught on
and you tried to brush it off and insisting that you could go on a ride you both liked
but he was so stern about it because he knew how much you wanted to go on it
i think he’s the type of boyfriend that normally gets over his fears when he is encouraged by his partner, and in this case, his form of encouragement was making you happy
he just likes seeing you happy in general
so internally, he’s hyping himself up while you’re cheering for him
and although he’s scared shitless, he goes through with it because he knows that this is a fear he needs to get over, so might as well get it over with while making you smile!
and so when it’s your turn to get on the ride, he gets cold feet, kinda, but you grab onto his hand, not his finger, and rub your thumb over it to reassure him that it’ll be fine
and it was honestly not that bad because he felt safe with you holding his hand the entire time
and when the ride finishes and he sees how happy you are, he thinks to himself that it was so worth it because you’re beaming
he makes a note
holding your hand > holding fingers

Can we give Mikey a hug?
Did Dhar Mann listen to NOBODY that said they did NOT like the dare video?
Welp! Do it with Mikey!
Have Jayden, the normally innocent character, ENSLAVE HIS BROTHER as a dare.
Basically, as fun, Mikey makes a bet with his brother to play with him. Whoever wins a Minecraft game gets to boss the other around for two days.
Okay, I did say Mikey needs a redemption arc.
Well, Jayden gets to boss Mikey around because he won.
First off, Mikey admits the iPad was no threat to him since he’s used to not having it. (Characterization points I guess) But Jayden takes it away anyway, ‘forever’.
This could have been meaningful for the two brothers to learn to understand each other, like Jayden bossing Mikey around to get him to be better in ‘his eyes’, only to learn that Mikey has boundaries and a free will that shouldn’t be taken away in order for him to become better.
But no, instead it turns into slavery. Jayden forces Mikey to make lunch, not talk to his friends, do all the homework ever, do all the chores, this and that.
And when confronted about it to his mom, and his friends, they just LAUGH.
They claim that Jayden putting Mikey in labor and silencing him is the BEST THING EVER.
I don’t remember the name of the other kid (not Jay) but Mikey seriously needs to stop being friends with him! And I thought Jay liked Mikey’s recklessness half the time! Derailment!
Yeah, when someone is banning someone else of free will, that’s a REDEMPTION. That means the person is getting better! That’s TOTALLY NOT AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP.
Here’s my advice: If you want to get better, you don’t rely on someone else to fix you. Not your siblings, not a friend, not a romantic interest. You don’t want to be in a relationship of any kind where the sole driving force is that they’re a fixer upper. They can’t fix you. The only person who can make you become better, is you yourself.
Now, it’s fine to give people advice for becoming better, but don’t take over their lives or their identities. That just makes the problem worse.
This is deemed as completely acceptable behavior on Jayden’s end, because Jayden taking over Mikey’s life is actually making Mikey BETTER.
He’s getting better grades, getting invested in school,
And this whole thing WOULD HAVE WORKED, IF IT WEREN’T FOR THE FACT THAT JAYDEN WAS FORCING HIM.
Imagine how impactful it would be if Mikey was beginning to do this stuff at his own will, at his own inspiration. That would be a good message that you can find pleasure in things you don’t like.
You can still have Jayden drive it, and give him advice, but the key focus should be on the fact that Mikey WANTS to be better.
But no, it’s from a bet.
So what’s stopping me from believing he’ll just go back to his mean state once the bet is over or Jayden turns his back around?
It’s not getting better if someone is painting better on you. That paint’s just gonna melt off.
Heck, Mikey actually gets mad at the situation!
This kid, Eddie, offers him an easy out on an exam, and Mikey keeps it a secret from Jayden because Jayden will tell him no.
See? It’s not helping.
And when Jayden is ordered to boss Mikey around at the dinner table, he gets mad! And the mom completely sides with Jayden!
Okay, I know it’s about vegetables in that scene, so it’s something he should eat, BUT she takes ZERO interest in her son’s anger of Jayden’s bossing around regardless.
“This is really nice. I wish you were like this all the time, Mikey.”
-PROCEEDS TO HANG OUT WITH THE YOUNGER BROTHER AND HAVE A GREAT TIME, BANNING YOUR OTHER KID FROM BEING WITH THEM, AS THOUGH THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT
Do I need to explain further that this is a bad parent?
I think I said my peace about it already.
Mikey isn’t getting better. He’s being FORCED into being better. It’s deemed as a good thing to have people force you to act like someone you’re not!
That is peer pressure! I literally just said this!
Not all peer pressure is bad. Eating veggies, doing homework, participating, that’s good peer pressure.
Demanding chores, refusing to let them talk to their friends, and forcing them to make you lunch, is NOT good peer pressure.
When someone does this to you, you need to put your foot down!
You need to say, “Hey Jayden! (Or whoever does this to you) I don’t appreciate you trying to make me into someone I’m not! Can you please try to understand me and treat me like an equal? Like an actual sibling?”
I’m just gonna list the dialogue in one scene to prove my point:
Mikey: “Guess I’ll just eat the ice cream”
Jayden: “Sorry, it’s time for us to study for the final!”
Mikey: “No! Give me that back!”
Jayden: “Was that a NO I heard you say?!”
This is something you’d hear from an abusive relationship.
Out of context, who would you say is being the abusive one here?
It sure doesn’t sound like Mikey!
But Jayden’s peer pressure makes Mikey snap and reveal the cheat sheet Eddie gave him. Jayden, because it’s Jayden, demands he doesn’t use that, but Mikey says “NO! I’M FED UP WITH YOU TREATING ME LIKE SOMETHING I’M NOT! AND YOU CAN’T FORCE ME!”
...
That’s deemed as WRONG of him to do.
Jayden is treated like he did nothing wrong and that he’s helping.
I do believe he’s helping, but he’s approaching it in a bad, harmful way. He needs to be called out.
BUT MIKEY LAUGHS EVILLY AT THE END OF HIS STATEMENT, THAT MEANS MIKEY’S IN THE WRONG BECAUSE MIKEY’S THE BAD KID!!
...somehow.
But then Jayden comes in at the last minute to boss him around again, and he saves Mikey from failing his education.
So because Mikey did what Jayden said, Mikey’s better!
Not because he did that on his own accord! Oh no no no!
You can’t change on your own!
You can’t learn to avoid negative peer pressure on your own!
(Also why does one exam make you graduate? That’s not how it works)
“Well, I guess you’re the smart one in the family after all.”
Yeah... no.
Here’s how I would’ve fixed the video:
Mikey and Jayden do the bet. Mikey loses and Jayden wins, meaning Jayden gets to boss him around.
It starts off fine, like Jayden telling Mikey to do his own laundry, eat vegetables, and do homework. Mikey’s a little unnerved at first, but he’s forced to oblige, and he learns that his brother’s advice can be helpful, like with the math question.
But then that concept goes into Jayden’s head, and he starts abusing his power, like demanding Mikey make him lunch, do all the chores, not talk to his friends, and all that unhealthy stuff. It makes Mikey rightfully upset and feel as though it’s unfair, and seeing his mom like this and hang out with Jayden laughing while Mikey’s banned from being around them, causes him to turn to Eddie for advice. Eddie states that who Mikey was before was perfect, and he learned a lot from him, therefore, he’ll cheat on the final.
Mikey’s friends don’t react the same way they do in the actual video. Though the other kid might, Jay’s actually more understanding towards Mikey’s feelings when he learns what’s going on. He tries to get Mikey to play basketball with him, but Mikey can’t because Jayden told him to do all kinds of other work.
Jay admits he misses the reckless Mikey sometimes, and that though some parts of his friend need fixing, Mikey himself has a say in what he can do. So Mikey decides to play basketball.
Jayden finds out and gets upset, and Mikey lashes out (no evil laugh though), expresses how his brother doesn’t try to understand him, and that he wants to feel free to be him. So he resigns from the bet and goes to Eddie for the cheat sheet on the final.
However, the rejection of Jayden’s bossing around actually helps Mikey much, as he finds a way to figure out the education through what he likes. (Note: Jayden notices it all) And Mikey ends up doing something worthwhile for his education without anyone telling him to. He changes at his own will.
He chooses not to cheat. At his own will.
And instead of jumping to the graduations, we SEE Mikey make this choice! We SEE him decide not to take out the cheat sheet, and study at his own accord.
THEN we go to graduation, and we fully have our faith that Mikey changed, instead of making that some plot twist for some reason
Jayden questions why Mikey didn’t cheat afterwards, and Mikey tells him that he can do some smart things if he actually puts his mind into it. Jayden apologizes for his bossiness from before, and offers to understand what Mikey needs to help him.
Then, at the last scene of the two playing Minecraft, Mikey doesn’t use a cheat code. Instead, we have Mikey showing his brother a trick he figured out, and Jayden listens and they succeed at their task in the game. SHOWING, not telling, that there’s such thing as good and bad peer pressure, and knowing what you should, and shouldn’t listen to can move forward to healthier relationships.
There! THAT’S how I would have written this video. It’s not good, but it’s better then a bad message and telling kids that people bossing you around is healthy and beneficial 100% of the time.
