#and also the parents don't know the chances of him biting a kid are very low?

𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘦 Summary: The most popular and hottest girl...into Stiles? Note: I'm watching Teen Wolf again because it's literally my comfort series and my crush on Stiles was just reborn (never died).

"He seemed very desperate," my best friend tells me.

"Poor boy, maybe I should help him," he laughed.

"Are you kidding? He's weird."

"Danny, I know, weird and kind of clumsy, but he has something...I don´t know what it its but..." I leaned against my locker, looking at Stiles in the distance, he seemed to be talking to Scott somewhat desperately.

"Maybe you are a kinky" He says.

"What the fuck does that mean" I look at him confused "what kind of kink".

"Oh, come one! don´t act as if you are not turn on by the fact that he´s a loser, in every sanse of the word, and you are the hottest girl".

I think about it a lil bit "I mean, yeah" my gaze just looked for the virgin boy "but he´s also like...really hot"

"So...you're going to do it" Danny smiles.

"Of course I'm gonna do it, for some reason his life depends on having sex...and I don't want him to die, it's a small favor" I smiled.

…

"Stiles, I'll have sex with you."

Stiles opened his mouth in shock, not believing what he had heard. Scott, on the other hand, looked around, waiting for some hidden camera to come out or for everyone to start laughing because there was no chance that the hottest girl (and the cheer captain) would even know who the hell Stiles is.

"Danny told me something like your life literally depended on it, I honestly don't care" you moved closer to the human resting your hands on his shirt and getting closer to his face "I´ll help you out" you whispered.

He didn’t answer, he was frozen looking at you in shock.

“Only if you want to…” you moved away a little.

“YES!” Stiles screams “I mean, ‘m sorry, ye-yeah” he stuttered a bit, he was nervous.

You smiled.

...

"I DON´T KNOW MAN, SHUT UP, UR MAKING ME EVEN MORE NERVOUS!" Stiles screamed at his best friend, who couldnt help but not belive what just happened "maybe she´ll come to me when school is finished".

"Ain´t no way she wants to be seen with you" Scott just was in denial.

"Are you jelous, I mean what the fuck is wrong with you, thowing me a bad vibe all the time..."

Stiles was interrupted by the girl that is goin to take his virginity in a couple of hours "I´m sorry, I´m so silly" you laughted "forgot to tell you, my parents are on a work trip, so...Im home alone" you got even closer "you can fuck me as many times as you need, u know, just in case" you take a look at his lips, he took a look at your entire body, the cheerleader suit was definitely hot.

He could´t take it anymore.

"Why all of the sudden u want to have sex with me, do you want me to do you homework or..."

"Of course not Stiles, I´m doing grat in every class" he was surprised "you are hot, something about you is totally attracting me to you" you simply confessed "you need to have sex, and I want you to fuck me, so simple".

...

"Wow this is...like a fucking castle" he says looking around.

"Do u like it?" you looked at him while trowing your stuff into the gigant couch " I dont, it get lonely somtimes".

He looked at you, felt you sadness.

"Your parents are not around so much?" you just shacked your head as a no "well my dad is always working, and Im honestly dealing with a lot of things but...".

"You can come over whenever you want" you interrupted him "and also you can come to my house whenever u want"

Fuck, he loved your twisted sense of humor.

"Come here, I won´t bite...yet" you grabbed his heand and pulled him to your room upstairs.

You made him sat in your bed while you closed the door "so, why would you die if you don´t have sex" you asked wlking trowards him.

"I-I...I mean, is really hard to explain, like..." you saw how he was thinking so hard on what to say.

You walked in between his legs and started to guide his heands all over your body. Starting with your legs, a little bit under your skirt, your waist.

His breath was getting hard each time, just looking his heands touching -almost- every inch of you.

"You don´t need to tell me, don´t worry" you whisperd "just fuck me".

The last station for his heands were your tits, big and natural. Eagerly he started to touch 'em as much as he could, pressing 'em and feeling all of it. His dick getting harder with evry touch.

You legs surraunded all of him, sitting on his lap, you started to move slowly and, for him, painfully on his cook.

"Wanna see them" you touched you own tits, and all of the sudden, you top was nowhere to be found.

And Stiles, was far gone.

"Oh my god" he said out of air, leaning his mouth on your tits and making you feel so good. His heands on your ass at the same time, lifting your skirt.

"Stop moving like that please, I can't take ir any longer" he begged you.

"Don't" you simple said, then you kissed him.

You moving even more on his dick, the kiss so passionate, you being half naked was definitely too much for him. He came on his pants whithin seconds.

"Dont worry, it's okey, we have plenty of time" you smiled at him, biting you lip.

He just couldn't help it, and started kissing you again, soft, cute, but at the same time filled with passion and need.

"Stiles?" you separeted a lil bit. He just made a noise and looked at you "fuck me, right now, fuck me" .

As best you could, you pushed him towards the headboard of your bed, leaving him half-sitting with you on top of him.

In just seconds, both of you are were naked. Stiles was hugely surprised when he saw how you brought your face closer and closer, looking with desire at his dick. "May I?".

"Fuck yeah" he sights biting his lip in desire.

It was so big it barely fit in your mouth, but sucking on it was the best feeling you'd felt in a long time. Stiles couldn't even open his eyes; he was too turned on to even form a word. You were rigth, he's so hot.

You pulled his member out of your mouth and crawled towards him "Now I'm going to ride you, and I want you to fuck me as hard as you can"

And fuck...he did.

"Oh my god, Stiles!" you moan "Oh yes, right there" you looked at him smiling, with your eyes rolling back every time.

"Do you like it?" he asked bouncing into you even harder "you feel so good, damn, so tight" he said.

" God don't stop, please! harder!" you screamed.

And suddenly, his phone rings.

Nearly every time I've rewatched Infinity Train Book 3 since I first saw it in February, I saw more parallels and narrative echos, and infodumping my friends about them isn't enough anymore

I figured I should do a post about this one because I don't think I've seen a post about that specific thing yet, and I love this show's writing, and. idk. I just need to praise it I guess

So, the most obvious part first:

Grace became everything she hated about her parents

When Grace mentions her mother in the Debutante Ball Car, it's made pretty clear she's trying to distance herself from her mother as much as possible, and at this point, we realise retrospectively that Grace's room in the Mall Car in episode one was full of sports clothes - it seems she tries to avoid things reminding her of her life before the train. And of her mother. And yet-

She tries to control everyone and everything around her, and makes people do what she doesn't want to do

And she decides what's cool and what isn't

She makes people kneel in her presence, like her mother towers over her in her mind's eye

Obviously she constantly lies to get what she wants, and her dad does that in her tape

When her younger self looks up, she looks right through adult Grace, and it's actually her parents she's looking at! Her younger self is metaphorically seeing her parents where her adult self is standing!! I still can't get over this shot

Also I feel the need to mention her mother has the same voice actor as her in her tape and even if it might be to cut corners in the budget, that feels significant (and to be fair, sometimes you can cut corners while making meaningful choices at the same time)

Now you might think I'd have nothing to say about Simon on that matter, since we don't see any flashback of his life before the Train, and we know next to nothing about his parents. But I think it's very telling that the only actual backstory we get for him is his backstory with The Cat.

Because-

Simon became everything he hated about The Cat

Ok I never see anyone mentioning this, but hear me out

First, we have no idea if Simon knew The Cat was routinely invading people's privacy through their memory tapes, but he sure has no issue doing the exact same thing

But that doesn't stop there. He also collects things obsessively

And makes kids collect things for him as well, by the way

He thinks he's above others, but he immediately switches to victim mode when it comes back to bite him

HE. ABANDONS. A CHILD. WHO WAS UNDER HIS CARE!!

And. Uh. They both dig their heels instead of trying to change, too

Don't get me wrong, on some level I would have liked to know what Simon's parents were like too. I would have liked that a lot. But there's a good chance it wouldn't change anything, because everything we need to know about his background to understand why he's Like That™ is already in the show

But yeah, Grace and Simon both pretend they found freedom on the Train, and both distance themselves from parental figures who are at the source of their trauma, claiming they're different and better than them - and yet they are both subconsciously repeating patterns that caused at least part of their problems and/or trauma in the first place

And since they decided that making numbers go up was good, as long as they stick to that idea, they are bound to never escape from that self-perpetuating loop of harm and trauma

And I love it

And I hate it

The sunshine seeped through the curtains covering your window, the light hitting your face that made you start to stir awake.

You slowly open your eyes, a smile creeping up to your face when you were met by your wife, Violet, rocking your toddler in her arms.

They were standing just beside the window, the sun hitting Vi's body and the soft rays kissing your child's face. You sat up, the sheets rustling with your movements that made your wife's face turn.

"Good morning." you greet her. Vi smiled lovingly and walked towards you, her face leaning down to place a kiss on your forehead. "Good morning, beautiful." she cheeked.

You rolled your eyes, cheeks heating up at the sound of your wife's voice when the compliment rolled off her tongue. "Shut up."

Vi snickered and sat next to you. "What? It's true. Is it wrong to call my wife beautiful?"

"No. But you're so cheesy with it." you shrugged and scooted closer to place a kiss on your daughter's forehead. Vi watched as you softly kissed Stellar's face, her eyes glinting and brows furrowing in adoration.

"She's so pretty, isn't she?" you cooed, eyes still on your daughter. "She is. She looks just like you." Vi agreed. A chuckle escaped your throat. "You didn't stand a chance."

"Yeah? Give my genes another chance and let's make another one, then." she purred, teeth biting her bottom lip as she looked at you with hunger in her eyes. You froze when your throat suddenly felt dry, your legs squeezing together as pleasure shot to your core.

Vi smirked at your reaction, her hand itching its way towards your bare thigh. "Come on, baby. I miss you." she pouted, her head tilting to the side. You swallowed the lump in your throat and looked up at Vi through your lashes before you nodded. "I miss you too."

She smiled and leaned in to kiss your lips for a brief moment before your daughter stirred awake. Stellar's eyes fluttered open, her lips quirking into a large grin when she saw both you and Vi staring at her with love in your eyes.

"Good morning, sweet girl." you whispered. Your daughter reached out and made grabby hands that urged you to scoop her out of your wife's arms. "Okay, now you're just making it clear that mommy's your favourite and not me." Vi whined, her shoulders slumping and mouth pouting.

You stuck your tongue out teasingly. "I am her favourite. Cry about it." you rolled your eyes. Stella let out giggles at you and your wife's banter, whilst Vi tried her best to appear mad even though a smile was trying to break out.

"Whatever. Let's go have breakfast."

The three of you spend the morning with giggles, homemade food, and love. You and Vi helped each other to bathe your daughter, playing endless games with her after she got dressed.

Your wife had already called Vander, asking him to have your daughter over at his house for the rest of the day so she could spend time with you. Of course Vander agreed. He loves the kid, especially his husband—Silco.

Stellar reminded them of both Vi and Powder when they were still younger, your daughter's hair being purple and eyes the same colour as the sky just like the sisters'. It made Stellar score a special place in Silco and Vander's hearts.

The kid had fallen asleep by now, all dressed in her lavender outfit with a pacifier stuck in her mouth. "I still can't believe that we have a daughter. I mean, you were a dork." you snorted, Vi's head snapping to look at you.

"Hey! You're mean." she huffed. "What? It's true." you shrugged and lifted your head up from her shoulder. Vi looked at you through her peripheral, her mouth contorting. "Yeah. Were. I'm not a dork anymore." she proudly stated and whipped her pink hair to the side.

You let out a laugh at her antics, your voice catching Vi's attention once more. She stared at you with a smile, her heart swelling with emotion when she realised that only she could bring that kind of smile to your face. Only she could make you laugh that hard and bring happy tears to your beautiful eyes.

You abruptly stopped when you noticed Violet's intense gaze, your grin faltering and your cheeks reddening when you met her eyes. "What?" you muttered, voice sounding like a whisper.

Vi shook her head, hand reaching out to push a strand of her out of your face. "Nothing. You just look so beautiful."

"Stop that!" you groaned and ran your hands down your face. The doorbell rang and the both of you jumped off the couch in excitement. "They're here!" Vi whisper-yelled, teeth showing at how wide she was grinning.

You nodded with just as much excitement and immediately swung your daughter's bag in your shoulder. "Pick her up, but don't wake her." you gestured at Stellar.

Vi nodded and slowly swooped the toddler in her arms. The both of walked out of the living and to the front door, you walking faster than Vi to open it.

"Took you guys long enough." Silco puffed his cheeks out when the door creaked open. You rolled your eyes at him and raised your ring finger up. "Girl, I'm gonna blame you if my baby wakes up." you clicked your tongue.

Vander and Vi watched as you had your daily banter with Silco, their eyes exchanging glances when Silco cocked his eyebrow.

"We-" Silco started, but was immediately cut off by his husband. "Enough. The kid's here." Vander scolded, making Silco roll his eyes and you smirk at him.

"Give me the baby." Vander opened his arms, his voice sweet as Violet slowly slowly handed him Stellar. The toddler stirred in his arms, a soft smile soon appearing on her face with her eyes still closed shut.

The three of you let out "Aws", heart melting at the sight of your off-spring. "I don't want her to go." you whined and leaned your head on Vi's shoulder.

"She'll come back tomorrow, don't be dramatic." Silco huffed. You turned your face to glare at him, Vi's hand soon blocking your eyes. "Stop arguing with him, baby." she sighed.

"Yeah, kid. This old man's just moody." Vander agreed, his shoulder nudging his husband's arm. "Well, we better get going. Wouldn't want you to cry if we stay much longer." Silco teased even more.

You could feel your blood boil now, your eyebrows furrowing as you glared at the man. "Bitch, you better get going before I poke your eye out."

"Okay, that's enough. We're going. Have fun." Vander said in a hurry and took the bag from your shoulder. "Let's go, honey." he dragged Silco to the car before settling Stellar in the backseat with Silco.

Vander got in the driver's seat and waved out the window at the two of you. "Good luck!" he yelled out, Vi chuckling and giving him a thumbs up before they drove away.

You heard Vi let out a relieved sigh beside you, your head turning to look at her. She looked nervous. Cheeks flushed, head down, fingers fidgeting, and she's leaning her weight on her side.

"Hey, what's wrong?" you asked, your voice soft as you took a step closer to her. Vi pursed her lips and slowly looked up at you. "Nothing. It's just.. It's the first time in a while that it's just you and me in this house. No Stellar." she breathed out, her voice wavering as she explained.

You nodded in understanding and wrapped your arms around her waist. "I get it, love. But hey, we should be thankful that we get some alone time. Hmm?" you wiggled your brows, Vi immediately catching on.

"Fuck yeah." she muttered and picked you up by your thighs. You let out a giggle that was soon muffled when Vi crashed her lips against yours, her tongue immediately delving in your mouth. "Hmm!" you moaned in surprised.

"Open, please." Vi husked, her hands squeezing under your thighs. You complied, your mouth slowly opening to let her tongue in. You felt Vi walk inside the house and into your shared bedroom, your back soon hitting the soft mattress when she lay you down on the bed.

Her hands roamed around your body, your mouths moving in sync and making wet noises that echoed through the room. Vi's hips brushed against yours, a moan escaping your mouth when you felt her hard bulge.

"Hmm.. you're so fucking beautiful." she said through gritted teeth, her hands kneading your flesh. Vi's hand found the hem of your shorts and she pulled away from the kiss to look into your eyes, as if asking for permission.

You chuckled, "Go on, baby." you smiled and lifted your head up to kiss her lips. She smiled back and slid your shorts down along with your panties, your wetness forming a string that made Vi's mouth water.

"Fuck, you're soaking." she gasped. "All because of you." you whispered in her ear and bit her earlobe that sent shivers down her spine.

Vi's spread your legs wider and pressed down on your clit with her thumb, your back arching off the bed at the pressure she put on your sensitive bud. "Ah! Hmm.."

She watched as you closed your eyes and let out heavy breaths, her ring and middle finger slowly being pushed inside your sopping cunt. Vi moaned with you as if she could feel your pussy, the sounds you let out music to her ears.

"A-ahh.. Vi, fuck." you moaned, your chest heaving when Vi started moving her fingers with her thumb still rubbing your clit.

She lifted your shirt up with her hand and pushed your bra down so she could suck on your tits. "Fucking pretty." she whispered, her tongue circling around your nipple. "Shit, ahh.. y-yes, Vi!" you whimpered and tangled your fingers in her hair.

Vi sucked on your breast, the pace of fingers suddenly going fast that made your toes curl. "Ah! Hnnghh, oh fuck.. V-Vi!" you screamed, your legs now hanging up in the air as you tried to spread them even wider.

"Hmm, like that?" she looked up at you through her lashes, a smirk creeping up to her face when she saw your mouth hung open with your eyes shut.

You nodded, your walls squeezing her digits when you felt your orgasm nearing. "O-oh, fuck.. I'm cumming. I'm c-cumming, baby." you gasped, your body twitching when Vi curled her fingers inside you.

"Yeah? Go on, baby. Cum for me."

And you did. Your eyes rolled back, a creamy white liquid oozing out of your cunt and through Vi's fingers. Lewd, squelching noises were made by her fingers and your cum.

"Oh fuck, you came a lot." she chuckled and slowly pulled her fingers out, your face contorting at the sudden emptiness.

Vi tilted your chin so you could watch as she sucked her cum-coated fingers clean, her tongue darting out and swiping through her fingers until there was no more left of your cum.

"It's baby making time." she giggled and hastily unbuckled her pants. You chuckled and looked away in embarrassment, your eyes rolling at your wife's sudden playfulness.

You felt something warm and long against your stomach, your jaw dropping when you turned and saw Vi's cock resting on your belly.

"Holy fuck. When did you get this big?" you breathed out, your mouth watering at the sight. "What are you talking about? I've always been big." she smirked and took her cock to rub the tip against your folds.

You threw your head back, feeling her cock twitch against your wet cunt. "I don't know I got blessed with a beautiful wife." Vi murmured as she leaned down, her eyes roaming over your face as she slowly entered your cunt—a grunt emanating from her plump lips when your tights walls swallowed her.

"Fuck, you're tight." she moaned and slowly rocked her hips against yours. "V-Vi.. 's too big." you whined. "Yeah? But you have to take it, baby. You can take it, right?" she cooed and nipped at the skin on your neck.

You nodded and wrapped your legs around her waist, her cock slamming deeper inside your pussy. "Hnngh! Y-yes, I can. I can, b-baby." you bit your lip.

Vi smiled and pushed her palms against the mattress before she rammed into your tight hole, your eyes rolling back and a scream escaping your throat when her cock repeatedly hit your womb.

"Oh m-my—fuck! Ahh.. hmmm, Vi. Fuck!" you cried out, tears rolling down the corners of your eyes whilst Vi hid her face in the crook of her neck. She inhaled your scent and shifted her hand to squeeze your breast.

She continued to ram into you, her bulbous til hitting your spot just right when she goes balls-deep inside you. "Fuck, baby. I'm cumming." she groaned, her hand squeezing your tit harder when her cock twitched inside you.

You nodded and lifted her head up so you could capture her lips in a kiss, your walls purposely clenching around Vi's cock that made her head spin.

"A-ah! You're driving me insane." she whimpered, her drool dripping down your chin. "Hmm, I'm cumming.." you moaned and sucked on your wife's bottom lip.

"Cum, baby. Fuckin' let go." she growled against your mouth and rammed into your pussy in one harsh thrust—her cock spurting out thick ropes of cum directly inside your womb.

Your legs trembled, your eyes rolling back and your screams coming out as squeals when you came with her. You felt stuffed. Like you were so full. Just like last time when she impregnated you.

"Ahh.. hmm, fuck." Vi moaned in your neck, both your chests heaving when you came down from your highs.

She slowly slid out of you, your cum leaking out of your spent hole and down to the sheets when Vi turned to lie down beside you.

"You're wonderful." she murmured as she pulled you close to her body. "I love you." she whispered, voice filled with love and adoration. She peppered soft kisses on your shoulder, a smile plastering on your face at her gesture.

"I love you too." you smiled and tilted your head to kiss her. "I'm betting 50 bucks that this one is going to look like me." she smirked, her hand caressing your belly.

You cocked your eyebrow and turned your body to face her. "And what makes you think that you got me pregnant?"

She only smirked and brushed her nose against yours. "I just know. The baby's already talking to me."

You laughed and flicked her forehead. But you didn't correct her. Because she wasn't wrong. It felt like she knocked you up.

"If it's another girl.. I'm going to name her Felicity." Vi froze, her eyes squinting and lips pursing when what you said registered to her mind.

You smiled but it only faltered when you realised that she was starting to cry. "Oh, baby. I'm sorry. Was.. was that wrong? Do you not like i-"

She cut you off with a kiss. A genuine, loving kiss. You could feel her tears rolling down her cheeks through the kiss, her sobs now escaping her mouth. "No, no. I like it, baby. I love it. So much."

"You scared me." you chuckled and placed a kiss to her eyes. "I love you, always and forever." you smiled, and Vi put your hand on the side of her face. "I love you more than anything."

"Stupid" Things the TWST Cast Believed As Kids

I was going to post this without a preamble but it just looked wrong LMAO -----------------------------------------------------

Heartslaybul

Riddle - He just mispronounced a lot of words out loud. This is actually common in a lot of kids that read a lot, they don't know how to say a word any differently than the way they've pronounced it in their head, so some examples: (Ladle -> would rhyme with Saddle, Rhythm had over-emphasis on the first 'h', etc.)

Trey - thought butter was made from the fat collected off of cow butts ('butt' was also the only 'naughty' word he knew for a long time). The thing is he had probably seen his parents make butter. either by accident or on purpose and it still didn't click for him.

Cater - only ate black beans, (when they were served). when he was a kid because he thought they were the same as coffee beans. He saw his dad eating chocolate covered coffee beans and got mad when he denied him the Delight Of Caffeine at Three Years Old so thought eating black beans was like. A super sneaky way of being like his dad.

Deuce - Chocolate covered strawberries came from a special plant, he didn't think his mom just set them up for him sometimes. He ended up asking more than a few times when his strawberries were plain when they could 'go back to the store and get the good kind' and would call the strawberries without chocolate 'rotten'.

Ace - For whatever reason, he didn't think bears were a real animal. Just. Teddy bears existed. And of course when his big brother showed him pictures of real bears he thought he was messing with him. Ace will not admit how long it took him to realize that bears are real.

Savannaclaw

Leona - Falena told him once that vanilla extract comes from 'beaver butt juice' and it was in all the vanilla flavoured desserts he's ever had. Yes Falena was messing with him to get his portion of desserts because Leona was too grossed out to eat them. It managed to last about 6 months before Leona was fed up and researched the information on his own.

Ruggie - His grandma protected him best she could from food scarcity, so he genuinely believed she knew how to make something from nothing. Same with his clothes.

Jack - Refused to eat hotdogs because he thought they were made from real dogs and cried whenever he saw someone else eating hot dogs. Even when they bough turkey hot dogs he thought they added 'turkey flavouring' to the Dogs.

Octavinelle

Azul - Thought cuttlefish were 'cuddlefish' and would get so SO upset when they didn't want to snuggle with him

Jade - When he first heard the word 'hermaphrodite' he thought it meant someone who just really really liked hermit crabs.

Floyd - Was SO disappointed to find out ice cream didn't scream while you eat it (I-scream)

Scarabia

Kalim - Used to try and eat really fast, so Jamil told him if he ate his food too hot his tongue would melt to the top of his mouth. (Yeah Jamil got in trouble for that one but it worked, Kalim savoured his food and he still makes sure his food is cooled down a little before he eats).

Jamil - Didn't eat yogurt for a long time because he didn't want to 'feed the bacteria in his belly'. That was his only reasoning.

Pomefiore

Vil - thought candy cigarettes were real cigarettes, this resulted in him biting one of his dad's or fellow actor's cigarettes and Regretting it. (Even the fake ones are filled with like an herbal blend, you don't want to eat it still)

Rook - kinda sad, but genuinely thought termites were considered dessert. They were fairly rampant in his home so he would eat them any chance he got (raw termites supposedly taste like pineapple).

Epel - yeah he thought he was a werewolf, there isn't much else to add.

Ignihyde

Idia - Thought that microwaving a spider/other bugs for a very short amount of time would mutate their DNA and he could keep it as a pet, despite many failed attempts, he continued trying.

Ortho - (insert ugly crying here thinking about baby boys early years) he really believed that one day Idia would find a way to bring the characters from tv/video games into 'real life' so they could have play dates with them. (Idia promised him he would try his best)

Diasomnia

Malleus - He thought computers were a type of pet people could have.

Lilia - Used to think that the stars were really big glow bugs

Silver - Fully believed the storks deliver babies thing. Not because of Lilia, but because of a story book and it made things easy so he just rolled with it anyways, until Silver was old enough.

Sebek - That the fountain of youth was real - he wanted to drink from it once he reached his prime so that he could serve Malleus always.

Others

Che'nya - Refused to believe that gum ever came from trees because he 'tried sap before and it didn't even taste like syrup so how could something sweet as gum come from trees'.

Najma - Thought she was able to talk to ghosts, it was just Jamil fucking with her lskjfhsldkjfsdf

Neige - Didn't know what owls were, called them tree penguins.

Rollo - Called ambulances 'Body Rescue Busses' because even as a kid he knew only God could save your soul. (you can take that seriously or as satire idc) -------------------------------------------------------- @fluffle-writes thank you for the compliments, and the motivation to write!! ljfkjdshflkjsdf

If you want to be on a taglist in the future lmk

[littlegeecko]

Headcannons for the father & son duo :> or just lore- whichever one you wanna talk abt more

(007 & c00l)

Aw yes, my parent/kid bond of all time :J Keep the characters coming!! my askbox is open!!!

Extra deets under the cut

7n7

-He used to have a more...demonic appearance during his prime hacker years, both as self-exploration, scare the shit outta people and not be recognized in public, it worked pretty well but it took a toll on his health after a while so he only used that appearance while hacking. Kidd looks a little like him in his 20s...

-Used to date Noli around college years and a bit after, however after he got Noli infected with the VoidStar, the guilt made him break up with Noli, ghost him, and move someplace else after Kidd appeared at his door, fearing an angry Noli might find him, for whatever reason

-He really, REALLY likes to play being a cute, helpless loser man sometimes just to pass for a non-threat, it makes the sentinels grow soft for him, the worst kindof gay you'll find if you ask me. (but it also keeps them from bothering him too)

-He's slightly paranoid the admins got shit against him even if they're all stuck in hell trying to survive together, so he grows suspicious everytime anyone invites him to the hang outs or simply try to interact with him directly. He tends to be a loner... Guest was the first one to break thru the walls he made around him.

-Sometimes Kidd calls him mama, he doesn't mind

-In this AU he used to have a thing* with Mafioso before being forsaken'd, it scared him shitless to see him as a killer, but he's happy Kidd has a familiar face on the other side.

-Jesus is this man volatile. He's often neutral and even shy in his little corner but he's the type to take Chance's flintlock straight from his holster if he feels threatened, and mumble nasty things about the admins under his breath like a weirdo.

-He forcibly taught himself to cook because he truly had to improvise some kid-safe dishes when kidd was a toddler, he eventually took a liking to it though, "cooking its like coding, in a sense" he says. Nowadays he makes delicious food for the survivors when it's his turn to, most of them won't admit it's pretty good (except Guest, who always throws a compliment here and there)

-Insane typing speed, what that hand do? lmao

-Can do crazy shit with his GUI don't ask me about it

C00lkidd:

-He's energetic and with a contagious (scary) smile!! a true extrovert, much to n7's surprise, though he never had many friends...most of his friends were animals he'd find

-He's actually a really sweet kid like any other, but he likes to "prank" people that mistreat him or his dad, like Elliot making a nasty face at him when they went to his pizzeria (he then proceeded to un-anchor the cash register and made it fall on Elliot's foot, he still has the scar to this day) He had many problems with this attitude at school, specially when the pranks turned from simple hahas to actual violent payback to his bullies, like scratching and biting(You know the school system, they blamed him for reacting)

-Loud noises make him anxious, specially sudden ones. He DESPISES Taph and his mines because of this.

-Used to be very short around 6-8 then had a sudden growth spurt at 9. Now she's average!

-They're, surprisingly, VERY resistant to many things like strong illness, falls, disasters and even fire, they just bruise really easy because of their skin condition and the rashes are their worst enemy most of the time. n7 is not sure if the GUI has something to do with this or they're just built like that??

-Kidd LOVES reading about strange animals, mythos and cryptids, the Drakobloxxer being her favorite by a long shot. Delli was a gift from n7 to her at age 6 and that turned their brain into an chest of crazy information about these topics.

-Likes to draw and make crafts, like their bracelet :3 they have a lot of time in their hands since they're kinda lonely

-He loves swords he thinks they're cool but N7 never got him one, Mafioso on the other hand.... got him a (toy) one. Best uncle ever!!!

-He calls Mafioso "Uncle Mario" and isn't aware of the extent in which he and his dad's relationship goes, but he likes him a lot!!! its nice to have adults that dont treat him like a little freak :]

-Doesn't know who Noli is, n7 refused to tell him much about him so imagine this poor kid's face when Noli tried to play-pretend being a dad for him when becoming a killer. Stranger Danger!!!

-he likes Guest and Chance he think they're cool, he doesnt like it when they attack him though :/

-Just like in her original concept, she has a bigger, scarier AND stronger form while playing Killer, she only keeps half the memories when she goes back to regular form

anyway theres alot more but this shit long already lmaooo

The gang & Lucifer + chaotic child reader

a/n: This goes without saying but this is platonic. I have not made one romantic thing and I don't know why

not proofread!

Charlie: Very nervous. You don't have any self-preservation skills or any real way to protect yourself. At least Niffty is an adult so she can trust her with knives and all that. Kinda. Watches you like a hawk. It can get kinda annoying but it's because she cares. The hotel is completely baby-proof. You're not a baby though so it doesn't... work. Tries to help you get your emotions out in a less destructive way. One time you tried drawing the page was a mess of colors. Another time was baking the kitchen was a mess. But it's not hurting anyone so its a win. Okay, the kitchen might of hurt Niffty emotionally.

Vaggie: Tired. You guys are the defention of this imange :

(but that's also her with everyone at the hotel except Husk so whatever) She is less mean when scolding you than she is with others. Both because you are a child and there's a 99% chance you would bite her.

Alastor: He would either despise you or see you as his kid. For the sake of fic, we're going with the second one. You have a similar dynamic that he has with Niffty. Though cause you're a kid he might try to teach you his morals (or his lack of morals.) His ass is going to teach you the most insane things. Do NOT let this man teach kids unless you want future serial killers. And you're already very chaotic so this isn't a huge leap. Charlie, please steal you from him.

Angel Dust: I feel like he'd be okay with kids? Like not great as a parent but just visiting or babysitting he'd actually be pretty competent. Very chill about keeping you out of danger. Just picks you up and moves you away from the danger. Or if you have something dangerous just snatches it and puts it away. If it's not going to kill you also engages in the chaos with you. Irresponsible older brother who still cares about your safety.

Husk: Slightly protective of you. Won't let you go outside without someone else. Because you'd probably die in the weirdest way possible. He acts like he doesn't care but he defiantly does. There have been multiple times he's had to yank beer bottles out of your time. You weren't going to drink it but you'd smash it and use a weapon.

Lucifer: Charlie was a chaos magnet as a kid too! But more the hyper type and not the "I'm going to stab you" type. Does not acknowledge the fact that you're even slightly. Just the "Get your fucking dog bitch" "it don't bite" "YES IT DO" Can keep up with you and often plays with you. Will get you anything you want. Besides weapons those are off-limits.

Niffty: Two peas in a pod. I've based most people's reactions off their relationship with her. You two are a force to be reckoned with. So much rage and desire for destruction such little bodies to contain it. She is a horrible influence on you <3.

Hello there, I don't know if you are interested in doing a version of your single mother hashira and Sanemi (or any other hashira of your choice) together story, her kid bonding with the hashira it's too cute! (Specially after the first birthday of the child, it was such a sweet lovely story that caught my eye and heart) I love your work 😍

You were humming a song that your late mother used to sing to you when you were just a small girl with no better knowledge of the evil in the world. You wished your child wouldn't have to grow to live in such a dangerous world as you were living in right now, but there was very little you could do from your home to aid Demon Slayers in their goal to kill the Demon Lord.

"You're keeping me busy, you know that, little one?" You smiled as you tickled your little one's belly and the child laughed mirthfully and you couldn't help but giggle also.

"M- M-!" Your child smiled, "Mama!"

"That's right, I'm your Mama!" You cheered, clapping your hands together and your child squealed happily as they also clapped with their only parent.

"Mama, huh?"

You blinked as you looked over your shoulder and saw the Wind Hashira Sanemi Shinazugawa himself standing by the doorway. You were confused, why was he here?

"You've grown dull, just like your sword," The man said as he stepped into the room, closing the door behind him, "What if I was a Demon? You'd be-!"

"You'd be dead where you are standing," You said as you pulled on your kimono's collar, showing him the hidden knife made of the same material as your Slayers' Nichirin swords were made of. You had requested this piece to be made for you for, well, for dangerous situations.

"Tch, glad to see you're still somewhat useful…" Sanemi grumbled as he leaned against the wall.

You rolled your eyes and patted the spot next to you on the ground, "Take a seat. My child won't bite."

"They won't?"

"At least not like Demons do," you chuckled, and the man rolled his eyes now as he took a seat and looked at your child… They looked exactly like a small copy of you, only… Much more innocent. Pure.

Sanemi pressed his lips together as he was about to speak, but before he got the chance to say anything, you got up and moved to step out of the room.

"O- Oi, where are you going!?" The man called after you and you looked at him over your shoulder, "Kitchen. I'll be back in a second so watch my child while I'm gone." and just like that, you were gone.

"Tch…!" Sanemi grunted as he looked at your child and… He was reminded of his younger siblings… He sighed as he looked at your kid who curiously stared at him with their huge eyes. Exactly the same color as yours also.

"You really take after your mother…" He grunted before grinning, "Looks like God or something watched out for you, huh?"

But of course, the toddler couldn't understand that he was badmouthing their unknown father. The child pushed their small fingers into their mouth and munched on them, getting drool all over their hand.

"I don't know if you should do that…?" Sanemi frowned and that's when your child's eyes widened and started to absolutely sparkle in joy and excitement.

"H- Hite!"

"What are you saying?" The man asked as he leaned forward, thinking that maybe he didn't hear them right. Your child grinned as they reached up and tugged on Wind Hashira's white hair, a little too hard for his comfort.

"Ouch ouch! Careful-!"

"It's your fault for letting them touch when you know they are at that age when everything is interesting to them," You said as you re-entered the room and set a tray full of freshly cut apple slices on the floor. Your child immediately let go of your colleague's hair, greedily grabbed an apple slice, and started to happily munch the sweet fruit.

"So, what brings you here Shinazugawa?" You asked as you grabbed an apple slice for yourself and bit into it, "I doubt this visit of yours is purely out of pleasure. Did Master send you?"

"He didn't…" The young man frowned as he picked a piece of fruit and ate it, "I came here on my own accord…"

"Oh?"

"Yeah…"

"I see…" You nodded as you reached for another slice, "I can't say I understand, but either way, welcome to my humble home."

"Thanks…" Sanemi looked at your child eat and a small smile graced his lips… At first you thought you saw wrong, but years of experience had taught you not to question yourself too much… Even if you really wanted to.

"Ma- Mama!" Your precious little child reached for you and you smiled as you easily picked your little one and hugged them close to your body.

"There there, my love…" You hummed as you gently squeezed your child, "Mama is here…"

Those eyes of yours and your smile… Sanemi had never seen you look at anyone with such a loving gaze or gentle smile ever before.

The man's eyes widened as the image of his own loving mother came to his mind… And he willed the image away as fast as it came.

"You know…" He started as he reached for another apple slice, "Motherhood suits you."

"Oh?" You raised a brow in a questioning manner but your smile was mischievous, "Even more than slaying Demons?"

"I wouldn't go that far."

"Ass," You chuckled and your child looked at Sanemi and smiled, "A- Add…!"

"N- No!" You quickly panicked at your child's attempt to curse, "Not ass! A- A Badass!"

Not that you really fixed anything, it was like you just threw gasoline to the fire.

Sanemi nearly choked on his own spit, laughter erupting from his lungs and nearly knocking him to his back on the floor. The man snorted as he tried his hardest not to laugh out loud and seeing him do so made your little bundle of joy laugh mirthfully, completely unaware of what was happening.

"Oi, stop that!" You laughed as you quickly glanced at the Wind Hashira, and seeing him act so… So unlike himself, it made your heart feel a little lighter and you laughed at yourself also.

Your child might not remember this day amongst the hundreds of days they would experience, but you will always remember this day as the day you almost broke Sanemi Shinazugawa and made him laugh out loud.

"Hey, uh…" Sanemi finally managed to stop himself from almost laughing, "I just… Wanted to come by and see how you are doing? Both of you?"

"Add!" Your child cried out and you rolled your eyes as you looked at your colleague, "Well, we are doing just fine, as you can see."

"I do…" He nodded. You frowned lightly as you realized that he had seen what he wanted to know and now he had no reason to stay… And you kinda wanted to talk a little more with him. Despite being the king of assholes, he wasn't that bad. Especially after you gave birth. The difference was almost as clear as day and night.

"Hey, do you want to stay for dinner?" You asked, "I know we just snacked on apples, but I was thinking of getting something started soon?"

"Can you afford to feed an extra mouth?"

"I trust in experience that you don't eat as much as Rengoku or Kanroji," You rolled your eyes, "So no worries, there should be enough food for all of us."

"…" After a moment of silence, the Wind Hashira sighed, giving up, "Do as you want. I eat if there is food and won't if there isn't."

"Great! You can keep company to my little star child while I'm cooking, right?" You asked as you got up on your feet and ready to leave the room in order to prepare dinner for all three of you. As you were leaving, Sanemi quickly looked at you in shock, "Wait, you're leaving me alone with them again!?"

"You're a better babysitter than I thought," You grinned, "If you can handle bloodthirsty Demons then a drooling toddler won't cause any issues, right?"

"You…!" Sanemi grounded his teeth together, making you giggle as you stepped out of the room and closed the door behind you. The Wind Hashira growled as he felt tricked.

"Add!"

The man looked at your child who looked so proud of themself for the new word they learned. The way they looked at the scarred man without even a pinch of fear…? It was admirable. Surely, the child will become the bravest person that Sanemi has ever known.

"Look at you," He chuckled as he offered his equally scarred hand to the toddler, who took his hand and curiously examined the scars. Sanemi grinned, "So brave. Yet again, you truly are your mother's child."

"Add!"

"You surely curse like she does too."

"Add!"

Sense the current state of jason as character is stagnant do you think dc will ever purplish a good story of him, maybe he even kills of his red hood persona and goes on to be something else that would be something I would like to see but I don’t think it will happen. Dc will forever shoehorn him in to the batfamily. At least in his anti-villian era he was actually fun now his character is in a pitiful state

do u think theirs a chance of reinvent him as character anytime soon ?

Well first of all through spite everything is possible, so jot that down.

Like seriously, remember when it was so so incredibly over like Spiderman's Uncle Ben levels of over and then Under the Hood happened? Hell yeah I think dc will publish a good Jason story

Second I may not be the best person for this ask because I like my blorbos pitiful and miserable. Like yeah defiance is awesome but exhaustion -in characters who have been angry and alone for so long, beaten dog who got electrocuted too often to bite back- has a special place in my heart. But I also agree this has to be a transitional part of a story, the arc can't be "well he was hurt and then he was angry and then he was tired and he was miserable the whole time". Unless of course he ends up perma-dying in a really meaningful arc centered around his character but I'm not sure that'd be what I want for him, and we all know how lame dc is with permadeath nowadays. I'm also very mitigated with his villain side because yeah sometimes it's very fun and cathartic to see the angry/bad victim trope, but also the classismXpsychophobia of villain Red Hood sometimes are just too much; and also I'm a jaybin fan and sometimes I feel betrayed on jaybin's behalf by elements of his villainous characterization. (One day I'll write that damned UTH rewrite, I will).

With that being said!!! I love Jason because of his potential, he has so so much of it, that's what's exhausting about his many bad comics is that yeah. Yeah, dc can absolutely publish something more than good. They don't understand the goldmine they're sitting on in terms of potential.

What I'd love to see explored in hypothetical upcoming good comics (i'll talk more about it later with malfiora but for now)/how dc could go about reinventing his character :

1) addressing Jason's suicidality and getting him a functional support system (seriously, something's gotta give)

2) Get that boy a dog. Ik he had one at some point in N52 idc give him more dogs. Big ass rescue dog that's loyal and similar to him.

2) we need to figure out a way to let Jason keep being a Crime Alley/Park Row vigilant without being dependent on Batman. Like yeah he should explore the world away from him and heal but also i'm very uncomfortable with the idea that healing, for Jason, has to mean leaving the city and neighbourhood he grew up in and protected, has to mean be shoved out of his home by a guy who doesn't live there and, at least when Jason was a kid, only visited the place one time a year because of the anniversary of his parents' death- it's not fair and I won't accept it.

3) I so so agree about the "killing the red hood persona" or at the very least changing his vigilant name. Like I get the point, I understand the use he had for him, but his story can't be centered around the Joker forever (I keep thinking about the Joker's attitude to him in The Man who stopped Laughing and god, I can see a driving force to find himself as something else than what Batman and the Joker made him). At some point his name has to become something that is his and turned towards the future.

4) art + story that acknowledges how young he is (someone please let Jason take college class please please he deserves it)

5) perhaps most importantly: batman writers often sound like hardcore deontology or hardcore utilitarianism (and the occasional egoism) are the only acceptable moral philosophies. And for characters, it works! Like I can see Batman as a Kantian, sure. But for others, it doesn't fit as well.*

The cool thing about Jason's character right now is that he's a utilitarian, but a utilitarian that often isn't guided by his values. He can and will compromise on his philosophy in the name of love and being loved ( @bestangelofall called that a morality leash) and that already sets him as an interesting character in his own right. But in terms of redefining himself as a person after decades of defining himself through his pain (which, at 20-23 years old, he should get to do) I'd love to see an evolution of his morals based on love. Specifically, I'd love from his morals to shift from mathematical utilitarianism to agape, an ancient greek concept of platonic love for everything human, a movement towards the other that can be thought of as close to some conceptualisations of empathy. Mind you, that doesn't mean that he would stop killing! I can believe in a Jason who kills because or against of agape, the pain or relief that could be so good to explore in relation to that, how he would go on to define himself as a person... I feel like Jason has a certain tendency to kinda dehumanize the worst criminals as he kills them (a lesson from Judy, love her sm) which I love, but would also love to see him grow out of - learn to see and love everyone as human and what it means, a re-exploration of his empathy.

Imagine: a scene where he kills a guy because a kid victim begged him to. The focus on the image is on the kid's big wide tearstruck eyes, and then Jason's uncertain face, the kid begging him to kill the bad guy. And then Jason kills him and they're standing so close to eachother, and he's look him in the eyes and seeing the image of the kid's eyes, and then turning back to the kid while wiping the blood on his face and seeing the kid's wide eyes looking in disbelieving awe. And then kneeling and hugging the kid as he cries his heart out. And Jason's inner monologue during all that being something like "I could say that I killed him because I'm a bad guy; I probably am. Or argue the world is better off without scum like him; I could pretend I did it so he wouldn't hurt [x] again, or that I was thinking about all the other children he wouldn't be able to hurt anymore. But the truth is, I didn't. I killed him because [x] asked me to; because I could tell that he needed it. I can live with that."

Idk, that's the direction I would love to see it going, but simply "becoming even more open, louder and unapologetic about prioritising his love over his values, and being angry when it causes him dilemma" is something I'd love with as way. Very "Odysseus knows what he's going to choose the moment the gods tell him to throw the baby off the wall to see Penelope and Telemachus, but fuck if he's angry at the gods for making him make that choice" kind of vibe if you like Epic the musical.

*i'm not saying there aren't any characters in dc that fall out of this deontological/utilitarian false dilemma, it's just a vibe I get from batman writers at times, and as a consequence of specializing in one character I don't feel legitimate in exploring the intricacies of other characters because I feel like I'm lacking information and would be making uneducated guesses (that being said, I would fuck heavily with an exploration of Cass' morals VS Levinas' concept of ethics). If anybody has recommendations of dc characters that are neither utilitarian nor deontological (or are at least an interesting twist to it) I would love them so much please don't hesitate!!!

So yeah, idk if that answers your question, I don't pretend to know the intricate working of dc editorial. But imo there are wonderful possibilities for dc to reinvent Jason and write him into good comics -call me a blue lantern cause baby I got hope.

Uhhh, how would the Bishops be when babysittign? Sorry if youv'e gotten something like this before!

Bishops babysitting the reader

If someone told me to dance for a spicy chicken sandwich I'd start dancing in a heartbeat tn

Notes: gn child any creature reader, platonic post, similar to the other bishops w/ kid reader post you're related to them in some way probably a kid of one of their siblings, short and written on mobile

CWs: mentions of canon typical violence and gore, cannibalism

LESHY

Not the best babysitter.. and he's also a huge enabler of your bad habits so long as they don't inconvience him. At least heket TRIES to make sure its aimed solely to annoying followers and it (maybe) won't bite you in the ass later (and if it does it's a learning moment)... but leshy? He just thinks it's funny when you mess with people

I fear he might make you into a brat. He rewards your mischief and his reaction only serves as encouragement

Also... not the best at keeping the kid safe. Leshy doesn't have the best sense of what is and isn't dangerous, he tends to just dive right in and... well that reflects in some activities he has with you. Genuinely doesn't mean to put you into danger but he's just not. Mature enough to keep an eye on a kid

HEKET

Honestly? It depends on the scenario. She spoils you while also being stern. You WILL eat your minced follower meat AND your veggies

But if someone runs to her complaining that you bit them or were otherwise being an annoyance? Ohohoho boy they made a mistake! How DARE they accuse you of such a thing! Even if she knows your a biter she'll probably insist you either should've bit harder OR the person had it coming

Very good at making sure the kid doesn't end up accidentally ending themselves. Her younger brother is the god of chaos- you don't think she's been through this shit before, even as a witness in the past? Be so for real!

KALLAMAR

You know how leshy has zero caution? Kallamar has too much caution. He thinks if you so much as have a bruise by the end of the day your parent is gonna beat his ass... and they might.. unless your parent is shamura.. but.. they're scary in their own different way..

You do both play dress up and he takes you around his cult to do his duties- mostly demanding praise and attention from his followers. You... might pick up on his vanity and make it your own...

Actually not that bad of a babysitter all things considered, he's not overly fun but he's not overly boring. You won't get hurt but you also don't get much of a chance to do your own thing

SHAMURA

They're the oldest of five of course they're going to... vaguely... know how to take care of a kid. Maybe not the best when it comes to the emotional side but you're definitely going to be physically taken care of and maybe learn a new thing

They're kinda boring though... they talk a lot about their boring scrolls in their boring library that they've accumulated in their boring life. Well... it's not so bad if you can get them talking about their ascension and the wars they've started and finished- at least that's cool

You don't get to wander around a lot... eight eyes makes it real easy to make sure you don't try anything funny.. though.. the odds of them allowing you to do something to learn and get experience is high- so long as it doesn't look like it'll leave a corpse

[justporo]

My new bestie, I honestly would love to see you write Father!Astarion 🤤🤤

How would he react to the news? Would he want a little girl or boy? How would he react when they are born, and they look just like him, but pre vamp eyes?

(Vampires can sire babies, with the highest chance after they are fully well fed)

Hello my tadpole bestie and thanks for the request! Astarion as a father really seems to be on people's minds, hm?

I get it, I like it too, but let me put this out there (yeah yeah, I know it's all fictional, but let's be real for a second): I would much rather imagine this when Astarion has done some much needed healing. This man hasn't had autonomy in two centuries and really needs to find himself again and work through trauma - with Tav on his side of course. And children are a huge responsibility - mentally, physically, emotionally, financially - I imagine (I wouldn't know, I'm not a parent...). I'd really wish for him to be ready for something like that.

But the thought is incredibly sweet, so let's go:

Headcanons about Astarion being a father

When Tav tells him she's expecting, he's truly speechless for perhaps the first time in his life; and then he can't sit still: swinging from delusionally happy to overthinking and being worried; but Tav takes his hand and reassures him that they'll be in it together

Has he thought about having kids? Yeah sure, but he'd never thought of it being possible until it happened, although when Cazador forced him and the other spawn to behave like a family he'd sometimes thought about what could've been

He's absolutely overprotective when Tav's pregnant: "Oh no, no, darling, you are not carrying that around, think of the baby!" "Astarion, it's A MUG OF WATER!"

Also he adores her body that is creating such a miracle: "You're glowing, my heart. You are truly a goddess!"

If he was handsy before there are now no moments where his hands aren't on Tav's body and on her belly

When he feels the first movements, he cries, and then Tav cries and then there's just a fountain of happy tears and lots of "I love you"s

He's taking such good care of Tav; especially when she doesn't feel well or when she's exhausted - she'll get all the herbal teas and massages

Birth though is scary - for both of them; but I'm sure he'll have some friends by his side (because think about the adventure troupe waiting with him while he's pacing the room like a panther: Karlach's biting her nails off, Gale's just blabbering to distract himself, Shadowheart is praying for everything to go well, Wyll tries to calm Astarion down (unsuccessfully), Lae'zel is unusually silent with crossed arms hoping everything will be okay, Halsin's keeping the group fed and all because "Nature will make it all right")

Boy or girl? Doesn't matter at all, all that's important is that Tav and the baby are healthy and ready to receive all his love

First time holding his child - he can't even cry because it's such a miracle; "This... this is the best thing I've ever had and created!"

The tears come later when you're alone - just the three of you

He's absolutely a very loving father, caring so much about his kid - and also equally taking on responsibilities and care with Tav

When the kid's eyes become their real colour and it sparks a memory Astarion had long forgotten, he's too stunned to acknowledge what he's seeing: the kid has his eyes - the way they were before he was turned

Later, when the child's already a little bigger he loves to show them stuff, teach them, read to them; also inciting them to go and annoy Mom - which makes Tav want to push him off a cliff but also hug him to death - because who'd have thought it would ever be possible?

Alright alright - I've gotten almost off the rails with this one. Because honestly, there's a lot to imagine there. Also maybe I wasn't prepared for the things that would make me feel (and I don't mean baby fever).

Alright, hope you enjoyed this headcanons, time for me to go to bed!

Dc x dc (detective conan)

Idk I'm just super into the idea of edogawa conan in Gotham and yk have interesting dynamics and situations with batfam. I know I've read one in ao3 (but that's just one really good fic, ofc we need more ;_;) I'd like to do it but I just feel like I won't do it justice ksgsjsjshs my lacking English vocabulary is the main reason but anyways here's what I thought:

--------

Damian suddenly witnessed a much younger kid accurately kick a ball to a mugger's head, leaving them unconscious---

Person being robbed: huh? W-what?

Conan: (gets closer) are you alright? (He's got a little accent, Damian noticed, Japanese?)

PBR: (shooked, an understatement) Did YOU do that kiddo?

Conan: (acts nonchalant) I practiced a lot from watching TV (rubs the back of his head) Anyways, here's your bag, erm, my dad is just waiting on the other side of the street. I'll be going now ^^ (immediately escapes with his lil legs 🐧)

PBR: But... (is still very confused)

Damian (intrigued) follows the kid. He then finds out kid's dad was a lie and obviously alone in crime alley. Damian is mostly curious about the boy's unnatural skills and knew there was something really strange about this... and so the stalking begins:

In the stalking phase, Damian finds out a few or a number of things.

The boy is lost and is smart and strategic in finding his way and information.

The boy knows how to be covert. He sticks to the shadows, mostly avoid suspicious people, unless they're about to steal or hurt someone.

Ofc, he's got a hero savior complex. No surprise there. Damian was sure the kid would definitely bite more than he could chew just a little more meddling he's going to make. Good thing Damian was there to interfere if or when that time comes.

Yup. The time did come. After the kid solved a sudden murder case that just so happens to be commissioner Gordon's jurisdiction. The boy successfully sneaked around the crime scene and gave his proper and concrete deduction to Gordon (ever the one to face young batkids- robins, he gave the kid a chance) that was the right decision until- the murderer held a knife hidden somewhere in their person and went straightahead towards the boy.

Damian jumps in and saves the boy. Conan slowly opened his eyes and was greeted by a teenager's back protecting him from harm. Damian turns, Conan looks up.

Damian: You imbecile.

Conan: uh... that's a bad word.

Damian: Obviously. Did I stutter? You could've died! Do you ever consider the consequences of your actions when you sprint towards an indisputable risk to your life?

Conan: (Bewildered) I'm sorry, Nissan?

Damian: (knows Japanese, was caught off guard, but did not let it show to his face, he still has to scold the kid for being an idiot) You will come with me. I've seen enough of this idiocy.

Conan: What? (Catches the words in between) Have you been following me this whole time? How long? Why?

Damian: (ignores conan) Commissioner Gordon, do you require any more assistance?

Gordon: (just about done with bat's kids) Just go on your way, I've got this all handled Robin. Give Batman my regards. Also (looks to Conan), you did a very good job and thank you for that (pats the kid's head) but listen to Robin, and don't go to any more of these murder cases. Take care.

Damian: Come. (Walks away)

Conan: (glares suspiciously) My parents said don't go to strangers.

Damian: (Stops and looks back) Would you rather I carry you like a toddler?

Conan: (wants to run away but knows he couldn't based on what he saw from this teen, he saved his life anyways... and so he follows)

Damian: An astute decision.

Conan: Do you always speak like you swallowed a thesaurus in your sleep?

Damian: Tt.

And so Damian brings Conan to the Batcave. His siblings would definitely go: Did Damian just pull a Bruce?

• even then Shion was all bark but no bite and you helped him when he got beat by older kids lmao

• so now years later you two still chill together in your room (i hc that he prolly has some beef w his family so he prefers to not be home at all)

• going on rides w him as a date!!

𝙔𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙞 𝙆𝙖𝙯𝙪𝙨𝙝𝙞

• ahhhh this cutie!!

• being childhoof friends w him means being childhood friends w the whole group

• but you seemed to always spend more time w Yamagishi

• ofc you're gonna be his number one to rant about gangs to

• and you didn't mind one bit

• you didn't join Toman w the rest of them as you preferred to stay out of the danger

• which meant you're the one Yamagishi goes to to get patched up

• you're his crush obv and he's the one to confess after the whole crew teased him about it for too long

• was ecstatic when you said yes

• going to arcades is going to be y'alls favorite type of dates!! Also amusement parks even tho he probably hates the higher rides

• can't help but grin widely when you steal his glasses and wear them for fun

• loves when you hug him or hold his hand!! He has the most adorable blush on his face when you do

• he's gonna tease the shit outta you at times too

• plus he may be shy around you but he initiates physical touch himself too

• i feel like he's the type to randomly start tickling you (may or may have not got accidently hit by you and his glasses broke AGAIN)

[quitealotofsodapop]

Was doing research for my Hero is Back fic, and from watching videos of great ape parents and historical baby foods; Dasheng likely had to feed Silly Girl by pre-chewing her food for her.

Primates of all sizes help wean their babies by chewing pieces of food and passing it to them, either by hand or by mouth (some scientists believe kissing originated from this gesture). Apes in particular, like gorillas and orangutans, do so because their main foods (tree fruits, nuts, and vegetation) are simply too big and tough for the babies to try and chew on. Cultures where baby food isn't readily available also practice this method.

And ofc in Hero is Back, Dasheng is stuck with two smaller ape babies (Liuer and Silly Girl) and needs a way to feed them. We even see signs of this when he chews up a piece of meat and offers the same piece to Liuer when he thinks he's asking for food.

Dashing, thinking: "Wait... are human infants this size weaned or not? Crap, do I bird-feed this one too?"

Silly Girl is ofc very ambitious for a teething baby; she can't even break the skin of the fish.

So now I'm imagining later down the road when Dasheng has just accepted that he's got two kids and a pig now, Silly Girl starts fussing.

Silly Girl: "Waaaaa-!" Bajie: "What's the matter with her?" Liuer: "I don't know! She's been grumbling for a while now." Dasheng: (*effortlessly picks Silly Girl out of her carrier. Bites a peach and passes her some of the chewed fruit*) Silly Girl: (*happily accepts the pre-chewed peach!*) Bajie & Liuer, mix of fascination and disgust: "Ew." "Whoa!" Liuer: "What was that, Dasheng?" Dasheng, continues feeding Silly Girl: "She's hungry. Don't have milk. Infants who've first fangs have broken can be fed this way... don't you remember being weaned?" Liuer: "No... Sifu adopted me when I was a baby. I remember eating rice porridge but not much else. Sifu couldn't have fed me like that any way cus he didn't have teeth back then either!" (*wide smile*) Dasheng: (*tiny warm smile breaks through*) Bajie, interrupts sweet moment: "The farmer just left me in and my brothers in a trough with some kitchen run-off and we figured it out from there." Dasheng, annoyed glare: "Explains your manners." (*resumes walking, holding Silly Girl like a parent monkey do*) Bajie, running after him, offended: "And what does that mean?!" Liuer, running to catch up: "You did eat all of that fish..." Bajie: "Without salt!"

It's about here that Dasheng realises that Liuer is literally an orphan, and not just a kid learning at a monastery. And if the boy's claims of trolls stealing infants is true, then there's a good chance a few of them are orphans too...

What We Gain/Book 1/Chapter 5, Free day

Masterlist

Pairing: Levi Ackerman x F!Reader

Summary: There isn't much going on with the scouts today aside from training. You end up spending a good portion of your day with Levi

WC: 3.1k

Rating: Mature/Gore/Smut

A/n: Hi! Hope you all enjoy. Please check out my masterlist, there's a lot of stuff there. You can get to know me, you can see the rules of my blog and then you can see all of my fanfictions. You'll be able to find the previous chapters to this fic and upcoming ones. You'll also be able to find my Wattpad & AO3. Comments, reblogs & likes are appreciated. Thank you

This particular morning, you woke up bright and early. The sun wasn't even fully risen when you awakened. You had this energetic tick to you today. You just wanted to seize the day from the moment you opened your breathtaking eyes. Something about today drew you in. On days like this, you can gather that it'll be good as long as you keep up your positive attitude and mindset.

You took a short amount of time to brush out your hair and to apply very light makeup. It's not even makeup, it's only a lip tint. It makes your lips pop more. If only your ugly brown uniform didn't take away from your beauty. You decided to keep your green cape off for the day. You left it hung up on your door. There's no need to wear it today anyways. It's a free day; If you aren't training, you can do just about anything you want.

On days like these you tend to shop or visit your family. Sadly, you can't do either today. All of the shops are closed on Sundays for religious reasons and your parents are in Wall Maria, there's no way you can travel out that far just to visit for an hour or two. You'll play it by ear, you'll figure out what you want to do as the day progresses.

Convoying to the mess hall, you saw a lot of the scouts eating and conversing; That included Levi. Immediately, Eren and his young friend, Armin, walked up to you. "Good morning." You said to the two of them. "Can I ask you something?" Eren said. "Go ahead." They began to walk with you as you went towards the food stall. Eren began to speak again. "On the expedition, will we have chances to kill titans? Just like Trost?" "Well, yeah... Isn't that common sense?" You giggled, filling your wooden bowl with some beef stew.

Eren and Armin groaned. "I mean, can we kill them? Or will it only be people like you and Captain Levi? That's what he said." You scoffed and chuckled. "I'm sure there'll be a chance you can. Levi is just saying that because he wants the younglings protected. We'll figure it out. Go eat your breakfasts, you two." They nodded and treaded off. You've never seen kids so determined until all of the newer scouts and Eren joined. It's nice actually.

As you turned around from getting your food, you spotted Levi once again. His eyes were already on you. He must've realized you were here now. He was sipping tea with an empty plate in front of him. All of the tables seemed to be half empty with kids surrounding each one. It'd be a bit odd to sit with any of them. You traversed towards Levi. He fixed his posture as you did. You sat down and flashed him a friendly look. "Good morning." "Morning." Levi replied in a somewhat tired tone.

"You didn't get enough sleep, did you?" "No, I did not. Rough night." "I see. I'm sorry." "Don't apologize. Not as if it's your fault."

Well, in a way...

He spent a lot of his night thinking about her. He was not only stressed with paperwork and some stuff Erwin let him in on but amongst that, she was of course lingering in his mind. It's pissing Levi off. Why can't he ever shake her from his thoughts? This isn't normal for him. No woman, not a single fucking one has managed to tame him this way. She's irresistible. He's trying his best to contain himself whilst being around her.

"Well, there's always tonight, yeah? Try to sleep a bit earlier tonight." You blew on your hot stew before taking a bite. Levi chuckled and rubbed his temple. "Let's see how that works out for me. With my luck, a Titan will break through Wall Rose and tear this place apart." You scoffed at his bad luck inducing words. You knocked on the wooden table. "Yeah uhm, let's hope not." You snorted. He knocked on it too.

Now he's even copying her antics. Jesus.

It really just hit you. Just two weeks from now, the 57th expedition will occur. It's nerve-wracking but exciting. It's been a bit since a mission that was planned happened. Trost was of course, not pre-planned. It was played by ear and off wing. You hated it. You were beyond stressed. At least this time it's thought out.

You glanced up and looked at Levi. You couldn't help but admire him. His resting face didn't appear to be as cocky and livid as it usually is. It was rather calm and serene. You found that sweet. "How was your breakfast?" "It was fine. I wish I knew how to cook." "You don't know how?" "I was never able to learn. Do you?" "I do. My mother taught me. She made me watch her cook since I was a child." "Right, I forgot you lived the home bound life." "I sure did." You slurped your soup and chewed it quietly.

Levi found that to actually be good. It teaches you a lot. If only he wasn't brought up the way he was. He could've learned more than street smarts if he actually had parents in his life. But no, he just had to live the way he did. At least now things are different, even if they aren't the way he pictured.

"Do you have any plans for the day?" You asked him. "No. Just extra work. Although some of the newer kids asked me to attend their hand to hand combat training sessions so I'll probably do that for them." "That's good. I think I'll go too, I know that Sasha girl asked me to do that." "She asked me too." "What time?" "A bit after noon, I'll come get you beforehand." "Okay, thank you." You gleamed and continued to eat your stew.

A couple minutes later, Levi stood up and was about to leave.

"I'll see you around." "Bye Levi." "Bye." He replied, gandering at you for a bit before turning around and walking away casually. Now you could finish your stew in peace. Thing is, you were really enjoying your talk with Levi. You can tell he's loosened up. You're liking it, a lot. Just over the course of this week and a half, you two have spent more time together. It's nice. You never expected it to happen though.

Continuing to eat, you were just thinking about the upcoming training session. It's something to look forward to.

-

Ambling alongside Levi, you two made your way to the training grounds outside of the HQ. From what you know, the kiddos will be training today, primarily in hand to hand combat. That is something you're especially good with. It's your strong suit. Close combat comes natural to you. Wrangling all of those animals growing up and fighting off thieves taught you a thing or two.

"I'm ready to see what these kids have in them." Levi snorted through his nose at your words. "Bet you'll be able to teach them a thing or two. You did Petra, that's for sure." You giggled at the memory. One time whilst training, you knocked Petra so hard onto the ground, it knocked the wind out of her. You felt so bad and guilty. Luckily, she was understanding. You remember it mainly because of what Levi said to you that day.

"I love to see a lady who can look classy while handling herself."

That statement has stuck with you.

You saw a lot of the once cadets standing before you. Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Sasha, Jean and a few others. "I see we have the whole squad then, huh?" You teased them. "So, do you guys know how we do this?" "No ma'am." Sasha said softly. "Figures, I can explain. "You will pair up with a partner and whoever goes down first is out, then so on and so on until there's just two people. Get the gist?" "Yes." Many of them responded.

You sat down beside Levi on the dirt ground. He tried to avoid it as best as possible, pushing his body more into the grass. You saw each kid pair up with another. Eren with Jean, Armin with Sasha, so on and so fourth. You're excited to see how this goes down.

"Remember when me and you went hand to hand?" You giggled, bringing up the hilarious memory. Levi shook his head. "Yeah, yeah I do."

Flashback:

"Since you talk a big game, why don't me and you go at it?"

Seriously? That's just unfair. Levi is the captain, you're only a new scout. Besides, you aren't even on this man's squad, you're with Hange. You turned to look at you section commander and she simply shrugged. What a help she is.

"I don't know." You stuttered. Levi stepped closer to you and put your hands up into position. "I won't be too hard on you, promise." Yeah, as if you'd believe that. You rolled your eyes as he got into position. "Hange, you call it." Levi muttered out. "You got it." Hange stepped a bit closer to the two of you. Admittedly, you lacked confidence against Levi considering he's obviously physically stronger; But that will not stop you from trying.

The second Hange swiped her hand down, you went for Levi's legs but it's as if he read your mind. He stepped back and grabbed your wrists, turning you around and pulling you against his chest. With your back to his chest, there wasn't much you could do. How did he manage to get you in this position so fast? "Fuck." You mumbled, attempting to jab at his slim stomach but he has you in a chokehold.

"Not to late to tap out." He whispered against your ear. "This is rather humiliating, no?" You looked around and grunted. Suddenly, you managed you grasp free and trip him. Levi went crashing to the ground. Victory!

You began to cheer and laugh. "Look at me Hange!" But she didn't have a pleased look on her face but rather a look of nervousness. That was face you made right after you suddenly hit the ground. Your face went against the dirty grass. You felt Levi's hands pin your hands to your back. "Never turn your back on an enemy. Don't they teach you this in basic training?" He fainted you. Fuck sakes. Hange didn't call it. Now she did.

"Get off of me!" You yelled, pushing him off of you. You began to wipe down your uniform. "Hange!" "I'm sorry, I don't make the rules. If you would've managed to keep him pinned down for the amount of time in the rules, you would've been deemed the victor." "Ugh." You scoffed and glared at Levi. He had a sly smirk. What an ass.

As you began to stomp off, Levi just had to get in the last word. "Don't be a sore loser. You did well." You flipped him off and kept running.

It's safe to say you got into some trouble for that.

Flashback end:

What snapped you out of your remembering of that funny memory was the sound of Eren getting Jean down. "Good job Eren!" You yelled to him. This made you proud. Jean definitely had the upper hand even. You suppose Eren's training with you must've paid off. You've been giving him lessons on the side, just for him. He definitely needed them.

"Jean is such a sore loser." Levi mumbled, watching as Jean kicked the dirt up and scoffed. "Reminds me of someone." He smirked and glanced at you. You laughed and playfully hit his arm. "Shut up." You snickered. You then had wide eyes. Did you seriously just hit and tell your captain to shut up. Levi held back a laugh at your reaction. "We're off duty. Don't worry." He leaned his head against the wooden fence. "Oh." A sigh of relief came out instantly.

Then how come Levi got on Oulo for doing exactly what you did once...?

The wind began to pick up, causing your hair to blow along with it. It began to hit Levi in the face so you scooched over while laughing. "I'm so sorry Captain." "It's natural." He gazed at you. You could see a sparkle within his eyes. It was as if he was staring at the moon or at the stars. His pupils even dialated. Weird.

Eventually, it came down to it being just Reiner. You stood up and congratulated him. "You are rather beefy." You snickered. Reiner nodded. "Yeah, everyone feels the need to say that." "It's a compliment. Don't complain." You huffed and crossed your arms. Your skills have improved immensely over these past few months. In all honesty, you think you could take Reiner.

"Do you mind trying a round with me? Levi can call it, right?" You glanced at Levi. He raised and eyebrow and stood up, walking over to where you and Reiner were. The other scouts were on the sidelines. Some left and some were still here, doing their own thing. They began to gather around though once they heard you wanted to parr with Reiner.

Reiner snickered. "With me? Absolutely." The blonde boy smirked. Levi bit his lip and stepped back. "Confidence is key." You whispered beneath your breath. This'll be embarrassing if you can't get him down.

Getting into position, Levi stepped further to the side. "When my hand swipes down, begin, got it?" Both of you nodded.

Once Levi's hand went downwards, Reiner made the first move. His hand went to your midriff in attempts to push you down. Your abdomen/leg strength worked with you though, you managed to keep yourself up. Reiner pushed harder and that gave you the opportunity to find his weakness—his legs and shoulders. All of his strength was going into his wrist area. Oh how this boy has so much to learn.

You went for his wrist and pushed it off of your stomach, spinning it around and pinning it to his back. His left hand reached to try and flip you over, but he failed. With only one of his hands behind his back, you managed to get him to the ground swiftly. His face went into the dirt and you quickly grasped his other hand and pinned him down.

This was definitely a messy performance. It's hard to move skillfully against a larger male. You're a smaller size, you aren't big and burly like Reiner or Erwin. Levi counted in his head before calling your victory. You giggled and let go of Reiner, helping him up. He wiped his face off. "Don't let this bruise your ego, it's what I specialize in." Yes, this was meant to be cocky but also sportsman like. Reiner shook his head. "My ego is fine." "Sure." You patted him on his back.

That whole time, Levi's eyes were on you. The way you worked that entire combat scheme, it was attractive. He even found you attractive when he got you down that one time. How courageous and angry you were—it was cute. Levi wishes he didn't feel this way but more & more, he his accepting it. He thought the terminology of 'feelings for someone' was stupid. Now, he gets it.

You smiled at him and wiped your pants off. "How was that?" "Impressive." He hummed. "Do you think I've improved?" "Very much." Levi was being honest. Seeking approval from him now. Damn. You're going low for this man.

"You definitely bruised his ego." "Yeah, my bad." You said sarcastically. "You bruised mine that one day." "My bad." Turning your head, you glanced up at Levi. He peeped down at you. "Here." He murmured, moving his thumb across your cheek. His hand was cold but you could only feel it's inner warmth. He then wiped his hand on his pants. "There was dirt." "Oh, it must've gotten on there when I got him to the ground." "Yeah."

There was no dirt.

-

It's much later in the day now. You're tired. You suppose that's what you get for waking up so early. You are used to sleeping in just a bit later. Currently, you're making your way to Levi's room. You received some papers from Hange for him. You don't know why Levi couldn't get them himself. Maybe he was busy at the time. Even so, you don't mind. His room is right beside yours. You are all still residing at the old scouts HQ.

Entering through this floors door, Levi's room was the first one on the left. You sighed deeply and knocked.

"State your name and business." He said from inside of the room. "Hi. It's just me and I have some files to give to you." "Come in." He said coldly. You breathed in sharply and opened the door. Just as you expected and imagined—his room was spotless. He was sitting at the small desk in the corner of the room. His bed was made and the miniature bookshelf was organized. You scanned the room quickly but recalled what the task at hand was.

"Hey Captain. Hange just gave these to me, they are for you." "Right. Thank you." Levi then took them from your left hand, but then he noticed something. After setting the papers down, he took your hand in his. You were confused and looked down. "This must've happened while you were training with that kid." You saw what he was referring to. There was a scabbed up, dried blooded wound on your hand.

You scoffed. "My bad. I didn't even notice." He caressed his thumb over it momentarily. "Could get infected. Here, take this." He reached down with his free hand and grabbed cotton swabs with alcohol. "In case you don't have any." "I do not. Thank you." "No problem. Just return the pack of swabs and bottle whenever you're finished." You nodded at his words.

He ran his thumb over your palm once more before letting go.

"Be more careful." "How can I be careful during training," You giggled, "The entire point is to get roughened up." "I can't argue with that." Levi heaved. "Don't beat yourself up. Try your best to remain intact." You grinned at his words. "Do you care about me?" The words just slipped past your lips. He gazed up at you and slowly nodded. "I do. Very much." You need expecting him to just scoff or give you a distant look.

He cleared his throat. "Please go get that cleaned. I need to read through these papers." "Sure, okay. Have a nice night." "You too."

Leaving his room, you smiled and giggled, going into your room next.

This is all you'll be able to think about for awhile.

"So your father runs a company, huh? Who the hell leads with that?! This is why I hate talking to Frostheimers..."

so the wording here is wonky because he's quoting a Frostheimer, but there's no visual indication that he's quoting them. But lore drop! Kaito's father runs a company! But I thought he wasn't well off. . .? Maybe his parents are separated or his father doesn't spend any of their money on him. . .or the company isn't doing well. . .or gambling addiction runs in his family lol. . . .

Affinity 7: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Argh, I want junk food! And I want to try all the new snack flavors!!"

my boy is so relateable--

Affinity 8: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"All right, time to man up and bite the bullet... Nope, absolutely not, can't do it!"

Affinity 9: (between 8pm and 5am)

"How is Jin's skin so perfect? Fucking rich kids and their stupidly expensive fancy-ass toner!!!"

kaito really looking at jin like OH NO HE'S HOT

Affinity 10: (between 10pm and midnight)

"(yawn) Guess I'll go brush my teeth..."

Affinity 11: (between 5am and 11am)

"Hey {PC}, you seem different somehow today. Did you change something? Or am I just imagining things?!"

Affinity 12: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Noooo why does Tohma want to see me...? No way it's about something good! Could you come with me, {PC}?!"

Affinity 13: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"Crap, I fell asleep in class so I don't know what our homework is... Help me, {PC}!"

Affinity 14: (between 5am and 11am)

"(yawn) Man, my bed's like a freaking marshmallow. I can never get any good sleep on that thing..."

lol the Frostheim beds are too comfortable lolol I NEED A FIRMER BED TOO KAITO I GET IT.

Affinity 15: (between 5am and 11am)

"Huh? Oh, my pendant! You're always wearing it? Does that mean you've actually been paying attention to me?!"

once again the wording here is wonk because it makes it sound like the pc is always wearing Kaito's pendant. I'm pretty sure he's quoting the pc, who's commented that "you're always wearing it". It would read better as something like "You noticed I'm always wearing it?"

Affinity 16: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Hey {PC}, how 'bout we grab a bite?! I've got tons to splurge in winn... er, earnings, so it's all on me! Get whatever you want!"

your gambling addiction is really and truly going to get you in trouble. disregard that i play a gacha game.

Affinity 17: (between 10pm and midnight)

"...Huh?! Man, nearly fell sleep without putting my phone on the charger... 5%, that would've sucked tomorrow..."

"Ha ha ha! Have you seen this yet?! It's all over TikTok. Ah man, it's killing me..."

Affinity 19: (between 10pm and midnight)

"Whoa, when did it get so late?! Sorry {PC}, I didn't mean to keep you up... What? You're still good?"

Affinity 20: (between 5am and 11am)

"Morning! Hey, guess what? Luca's busy after class, so how about we hit up the diner? It's been ages!"

do you. . .do you really wanna go there. . .i mean the drinks seem to be fine but according to sho they can't make good food at all. . . .

Affinity 21: (between 11am and 4pm)

"Sorry, I gotta stay after class today... (sniffle) This sucks, I really wanted to walk home with you..."

aw buddy. . .they could wait for you or come pick you up after your remedial lesson. . .!

Affinity 22: (between 4pm and 8pm)

"Hey I'm really sorry but do you mind if we stop by the campus store after class? I'm almost out of granulated sugar."

Affinity 23: (between 8pm and 5am)

"Hey, do you like stars? Oh, um, I was just wondering 'cause there's this place where you can see them really well, so I thought maybe you'd want to go some time..."

he's overcoming his fears and being honest with himself and how he speaks and just. . .asking honestly, no bravado, no act. do it scared, kaito. do it scared, do it awkward, do it sure you're going to fail. as long as you do it. proud of you!

Affinity 24: (between 10pm and midnight)

"Sure is dark. Reminds me of the closet where we first met. Remember?"

Affinity 25(max): (no time constraints)

"I know I'm weak, and a coward. But I really do want to become your knight in shining armor, {PC}."

I love how comfortable and honest he starts to get as his affinity goes up. Still shy here and there, still scared, but he's not as jumpy and he starts treating you like a real friend. laughs with you about stuff, talks a little about hobbies and struggles. doesn't try and look cool for you. and then the honesty--i'm a weak coward, but i wanna be better for you. i wanna spend time with you. just!!! he grows!!! he realizes you like him for who he is and how he is, even if that's a weak coward--and that that's exactly what he wants! and it's okay for him to be that way because you won't be put off by it, even if it's something he'd like to grow from so he can be better for you--but he wants to be better for you as himself and--idk. i have feelings about characterization lol.

Spring: (March-May) (between 5am and 11am)

"(yawn) Man, I wanna sleep, but I can't fail, so I gotta show up for class... Oh! I have Professor Nicolas next! Naptime."

does that mean you're good in anomalous medicine class or. . . .

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Grr! All those girls in the hall were looking at Luca! I'm so pissed off now I'm not even sleepy anymore!"

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"It's finally warm out again, so I really want to go do something fun... Wish I could get an R&R permit..."

well maybe if you stopped sleeping in class and did good in class or went on a mission or something. . . . . .

(between 8pm and 5am)

"Mheheh... {PC}... You've got a petal in your hair... Zzz..."

Summer: (June-August) (between 5am and 11am)

"Ugh, it's too hot to go outside... But I can sense a coming-of-age event on the horizon... All right, here I come!"

obligatory beach event? 👀

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Can't believe Professor Hyde still wears that blindfold in summer. Pfft, I bet it's really sweaty under— Eeeek! S-Sir?!"

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Hey {PC}, are you free after this? I was thinking of inviting Luca to let off some fireworks! I want to show him how we do summer here in Japan."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"I can't believe I get to spend the whole summer hanging out with you {PC}... (sniffle) Homework? Uh y-yeah, I finished it already..."

Autumn: (September-November) (between 5am and 11am)

"Is it just me, or is it really cold today?! Guess I better get my coat out soon..."

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Have you had the chestnut rice from the cafeteria yet? They made it way too fancy. It's supposed to be comfort food..."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Tohma's always reading something. Maybe I should too... All right, let's go with this! 10 Ways To Become Popular Overnight!"

well. . .it's something to read. . .never a bad idea to read.

(between 8pm and 5am)

"Apparently the moon is the most beautiful in fall since the air gets clearer. Want to go take a look?"

Winter: (December-February) (between 5am and 11am)

"It's freezing out there! It's freezing in here! Frostheim sucks!!"

this makes me wonder what the warmest dorm is on average. . .probably jabberwock as long as towa's in a good mood? (or maybe warm jabberwock winters mean towa's in a bad mood. . .?)

(between 11am and 4pm)

"The cold can go to hell, but I guess there's outfits you can only wear this time of year..."

you can wear whatever you want whenever you want if you're brave enough. but this is kaito and he's not very brave. and it's also not very smart to wear winterwear in the summer.

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"I really want to go to Starbucks for the new winter drink! But I really really don't want to go on any missions!! Guess I'll never get to try it."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"Gram... No... No more mandarins... ...Huh?! Oh, it was just a dream... I haven't had a mandarin for ages..."

'gram' in this case is 'grandma' in case you couldn't figure it out haha and the mandarin(mikan)'s used to represent health and longevity and a long prosperous bloodline or something like that for new years. So i assume his grandmother would feed him a lot of mandarins every winter lolol

"Huh? {PC}? Am I being annoying?! I'm sorry! You're probably busy, right?!"

(13 affinity and above)

"{PC} seems kind of busy... I know! I'll find a video that'll help take her mind off things!"

this one replace the first one after you hit a certain affinity, so it's cute to see that he eventually decides 'i'm not being annoying, they're just busy. i wanna help them' after he gets closer to you. . . .

Absent: (logging in for the first time in 2 or more days?)

"Ah...! Oh my god, you're back!! I'm so happy to see you!!!!  (sob) Please don't leave me again..."

he's so clingy. . .poor guy really missed you, considering you're one of the kindest and most normal people in Darkwick that he associates with. . . . also man 'please don't leave me again' with the whole loop theory stuff. . . .

I THINK I'VE SAID MOST OF MY THOUGHTS THROUGHOUT THIS BUT. He really is a sweetie. He really could have ended up a very plain and 'safe' character, but he's managed to be very charming and entertaining with his struggles and exaggerated behavior, while still being a simple and safe type. Really looking forward to seeing how he plays into the rest of the story, since it seems like his pendant may be kind of important. . . .

The Munson Twins – Steve Harrington

Steve's POV

The Munsons were always a strange pair of twins. For one thing, they were polar opposites of each other. Eddie was into weird role-playing games. Y/N was into volleyball. Eddie is in danger of repeating his senior year. Y/N graduated early. Eddie is into rock and roll. Y/N plays the classical violin and the piano. Eddie loves black leather jackets. Y/N likes flowery sun dresses. Eddie is kind of a loner. Y/N is more popular than me.

Since Y/N graduated early, we spent our senior year in some of the same classes. That being said, we barely spoke to each other. The most we ever talked was congratulating each other after one of us won a game. All through high school, Y/N and I ran in the same social circles because of our sports so we often went to the same parties. Just because we went to the same parties doesn't mean we were friends.

Not to say I didn't wish we were friends. I've gone to most of Y/N's games and she's gone to most of mine. Whenever I looked in the stands and saw her, I became more self-conscious of my playing. I even went to her orchestra concerts. I usually sat in the back and left before anyone noticed I was there.

Throughout high school, I couldn't get Y/N Munson out of my head. It seemed like everywhere I looked, she was there. Even when I was dating Nancy, my mind often wondered to Y/N when I was alone.

When Vecna started killing teens and Eddie was blamed, my thoughts focused even more on Y/N. I wanted to talk to her about all of this, to make sure she knew her brother wasn't what the town thought, but I also didn't want her involved in any of this shit.

I had to force Y/N to the back of my mind as we tried to help Eddie. When we got stuck in the UpsideDown, I allowed my mind to go back to her, hoping she was safe back in Hawkins. We were walking to Nancy's house and I kept glancing at Eddie. If he knew that my thoughts were constantly on his twin sister, he'd kill me.

"Eddie," I said, clearing my throat as I caught up to him. "Hey, man. Um, listen I just umm. . . I just want to say thanks. For saving my ass back there."

"Shit," he laughed. "You saved your own ass, man. I mean that was a real Ozzy move back there."

"Ozzy?"

"When you took a bite out of that bat," he tried to clarify. "Ozzy Osbourne. Black Sabbath. He bit a bat's head off on stage. You really don't know who that is?"

"No," I chuckled. "Sorry."

"Well, anyway, it was very metal, what you did, is all I'm saying."

"Thanks," I sighed.

"Henderson told me you were a badass," he continued. "Insisted on the matter, in fact."

"Wait, Henderson said that?"

"Oh yeah. Shit. That kid worships you, dude. Like, you have no idea. It's kind of annoying, to be honest. I don't even know why I care what that little shrimp thinks, but I guess I got a little jealous." Eddie sighed before continuing, "I guess I couldn't handle the fact that Steve Harrington was actually a good dude. Rich parents. Popular. Chicks love him. And not a douche? No way. It goes against all the laws of the universe and my own personal Munson Doctrine. Then again, that's worth shit because even my sister talks highly of you."

"Y/N talks highly of me?" I tried, and failed, not to stutter.

I looked over to see Eddie smirking at me. He leaned in a little too close and whispered, "Very highly of you."

"Okay," I said awkwardly as I used my elbow to push him away from me. I cleared my throat and rolled my shoulders back.

"All jokes aside," Eddie said, "my sister does think highly of you, dude. Whenever people would start to talk shit about you, she'd instantly stand up for you. I never understood it, but she's always talked about how people should give you a chance. She believes that there is more to you than meets the eye."

"She really thinks that?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Hell yeah," he laughed.

"I guess I always thought. . . I mean, everyone else saw me as a dick. I figured she did too."

"Nope," he teased. "She always sees the good in people. It's extremely annoying."

Eddie walked away, but my mind was going a hundred miles an hour. I thought over the few, very few, interactions I've ever had with Y/N. We walked a few more miles, the others talking amongst each other while I walked behind the group.

"Alright," Eddie sighed as he joined me. "Enough of this. You've been in your head since I mentioned Y/N. What's the. . ."

He didn't finish his thought. Instead, he turned toward me with a smirk on his face.

"Ohhhhh," he elongated. "I get it now."

He playfully pushed me before continuing to walk through the woods.

"Wait," I called out as I chased after him. "You get what?"

"Come on, Harrington," Eddie sighed. "Please tell me I don't have to be the one to point this out to you."

"Point what out?"

"You have a thing for my sister."

"What?" I scoffed. "I don't. . . Why would you. . . That's so. . . No."

"No?" Eddie teased. "You sure about that?"

"I mean. . . That would be. . . Crazy."

"No, it wouldn't," he said simply. He saw the look on my face and sighed. "Look, Harrington, as much as I may not understand it, Y/N's right. You're a good guy. You'd be an even better guy if you'd grow a pair and tell my sister how you felt about her."

"What if she doesn't feel the same?" I asked before I could realize how weird it was to have this conversation with Y/N's twin brother.

"She does."

My heart jumped into my throat at those two words. Eddie didn't say anything else. He didn't need to. He sent me a wink before jogging and catching up with the others.

"She does," I repeated under my breath. "Holy shit. She feels the same."

* * * * *

Three months later, Hawkins was barely rebuilding. After Eddie's death, there were two people I was worried about; Dustin and Y/N. Dustin was doing what he normally does - pretending to be okay so no one would worry about him. I checked in on him almost every day. He was getting better, especially since Max was improving.

Y/N, on the other hand, barely leaves her uncle's trailer. Every single one of us has tried to visit her, but her uncle keeps telling us she doesn't want any visitors. Y/N won't even talk to the kids.

"Hi, Steve," Eddie and Y/N's uncle sighed when he opened the door.

"Hi, Mr. Munson," I greeted. "Is Y/N here?"

He sighed as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Look," he sighed, "I really appreciate all you kids have been trying to do for Y/N, but I think it might be best if you give her some space."

"But. . ."

"I'm sorry, Steve," he continued. "I'll let her know you stopped by."

My heart sank as he closed the door. I couldn't get myself to move as I heard Y/N's uncle saying something to her. I couldn't quite hear what he was saying but I forced myself to leave. I turned around and slowly started walking back to my car. As I drove home, I racked my brain trying to figure out what I could do for Y/N.

Just when I had lost all hope, I noticed someone pulled over to the side of the road. As I got closer, I recognized the driver as Y/N. She was looking at her engine.

I didn't hesitate to pull over. I got out of my car and started walking toward her.

"Need a hand?" I called out. I instantly cringed when she jumped. "It's just me, Y/N."

"Sorry," she stuttered.

"It's okay," I tried to say lightly. "So, you need any help?"

"This stupid thing won't start," she grumbled. "And I have no idea why. Eddie usually. . ."

My heart sank when she stopped talking. One look at her and I could see the tears building.

"He usually handled the car," she forced herself to continue as she cleared her throat.

"I could take a look," I shrugged. She looked up at me, her eyes softening.

"Really?"

"Of course."

I walked over to the front of her car and examined the engine. The longer I stared at it, the more Y/N giggled. She was laughing at me, but I didn't care. At least she was laughing.

"You don't know anything about cars, do you, Steve?" 

"That obvious?" I chuckled as I turned toward her.

"Little bit," she said, showing me how much with her fingers. She cleared her throat and wrapped her arms around herself.

"I could still help," I said quickly.

"How?" Y/N asked, her voice softening.

"I could give you a ride," I offered.

"Steve. . ."

"I don't mind," I said quickly. "I can take you home or wherever you were on your way to."

"You don't have to," she said quickly. 

"I don't mind," I tried again.

"I can call my uncle."

"Come on, Y/N. Let me help you."

She looked up at me and held my gaze. "Are you sure?" She asked, her voice soft.

"Of course," I shrugged. I held my hand out, not entirely expecting her to take it. When she did, my heart jumped into my throat. Ignoring the circus in my stomach, I led her over to my car. She smiled as I opened the door and held it for her.

"Thanks," she said as she got in. I took a shaky breath as I walked around and got in the driver's seat. I started driving to the trailer park, my nerves jumping all over the place.

"So," I cleared my throat, "how have you been doing?"

"Fine," she shrugged, looking out the window.

"Are you. . ."

"Please don't, Steve," she cut me off. She looked over at me and I could see the tears building.

I nodded before turning my attention back to the road. We went through the rest of the drive in silence. I wanted to talk to her but I wasn't sure how to start a conversation with her. Before I would've liked, we pulled in front of her uncle's trailer.

"Thanks for driving me, Steve," she said softly.

"Y/N, wait," I said as I grabbed her hand before she could get out of my car. When she looked at me, I forgot what I was going to say.

"Steve," she said softly when I didn't continue.

"I just wanted to say," I said slowly, "if you ever need anything, the group and I are here for you."

"Thanks," she said, clearing her throat. She started to get out but realized that I was still holding her hand.

"There's something else," I forced myself to say. I looked into her eyes and gathered all the courage I could before saying, "I'm sorry about Eddie."

She turned away from me but right before she did, I could see the tears building. With the hand I wasn't holding, she covered her mouth. My heart sank when I realized she was hiding her tears.

"Y/N," I whispered. I pulled on her hand and she let me bring her into my chest. As I wrapped my arms around her, she sobbed into my chest.

"I wish we could've done something," I whispered. I pulled out of our embrace and held her shoulders as I looked deeply into her eyes. "I wasn't able to keep your brother safe, but that doesn't mean I can't keep you safe."

"Steve," she said under her breath.

"I promise, Y/N, I will always be here for you," I said. "If you ever need anything, and I mean anything, all you have to do is call me. Day or night."

"Day or night?" She teased. "That's a little creepy, Steve."

"I didn't mean it like that," I stuttered. "I just meant that if you needed me, I'd. . ."

Y/N cut me off by leaning over and pressing her lips to mine. I didn't hesitate to deepen the kiss. I gently grabbed her face as our lips moved against each other. When we were both out of breath, we broke the kiss and leaned our foreheads against each other.

"You know," she whispered, "there is something you could do for me."

"Anything," I said instantly.

"I'm starving," she started. I smiled when she didn't continue.

"Y/N," I said softly. "Can I take you to dinner?"

I smirked as I leaned in and kissed her again. I felt her smile as our lips moved in sync. I broke the kiss and pressed my nose to hers.

"If it's not too much trouble," she whispered.

"Not at all."
