#and even then he did it with two different beys so yeah

[robotic-bakery]

whenever I have my daily rewatch of shogun steel, I've found it a little weird for the characters to synchrome with only one other person (at least one per bey) despite how it's emphasized to be representative on bonds between bladers.

it's because of this, I now headcanon between the three month period post neo-battle bladers/pre baihu's arrival, zyro and ren decided to synchrome and their combined energy became too powerful that it caused a bey park to be shut down for 1-2 weeks thus it became kind of an unspoken/semi-spoken rule to pick a person and stick with them

Can you write a comforting Nico blurb? I got laid off today and I just feel like that will make me feel better

Hi loveeee. I’m so sorry it took me a bit to get to this one and I’m so sorry you got laid off :(

I hope everything’s ok and I wish nothing but blessings and good things for you <33

~~~~~~

It was like the earth was off its axel. From the moment you got up it all just felt off. Your hair would style right, your toothpaste tasted funky, and then by extension your breakfast tasted even funkier. Your clothes didn’t seem to fit right. They all felt too tight or too big or just too different.

To make it all worse Nico had an early morning and was gone before you even stirred. He didn’t wake you to tell you bye or give you a kiss or anything.

He just left.

Which probably isn’t the root of this very bad no good day you’re having but for now you’ll say it is.

And then you left the house with Timo and halfway to the gym realized that you left your phone charging on your nightstand. All because you forgot to plug it in last night.

So you were grumpy. And a crybaby. And moody.

And Timo knew it. You didn’t count with him when you two did your warm up stretches. You didn’t say a word or complain when he had you follow up with a mile run on the treadmill. And you looked boneless and lifeless when you strapped boxing gloves on you.

Half asses punches that barely swayed the punching bag, weak kicks that only rattled the chain, and after each one a shaky breath rattled out of you.

“Are you ok?”

Timo holds the bag still, looking around at you with worried eyes. He’s never seen you like this. So sad…so dejected. You look like-well Nico to be honest but only if you made him cute, gave him an ice cream cone and then slapped it out of his hand five seconds later.

“Yeah,” you sighed, lips in a permanent frown when you met his gaze. You didn’t even try to hide the lie from him.

“Come on tell me what’s wrong? Do you need a rest day?”

You shrugged, gloved hands hanging heavily by your sides. Hiding from him, your gaze dropped to your shoes. Even from here he could see the way you started blinking, eyelashes fluttering as you fought not to cry.

Heart sinking, Timo gave up and guided you back to the other side of the room where your things were. You sat on the bench, droopy and depressed as he took your gloves off and untaped your fingers.

You just sat there with glossy eyes, staring ahead.

Everything felt so heavy today, so undoable. And you felt stupid for thinking it, but all you wanted was Nico. Realistically you know he’d be ok with it, but you couldn’t bring yourself to take him away for the day. He was busy and he had work and things to do today.

You aren’t a child, he can’t just drop his responsibilities for the day to be with you. Even if you wanted him to you don’t have your phone to call him.

“I just want to go home I think,” you finally mumbled, blinking up at Timo. He nodded, helped you wordlessly pack your things and then followed you to the car.

It was ten minutes into the drive, sitting in traffic with teary eyes that Timo gave in. He had been waiting for you to say something, to ask for Nico but it was clear now that you were being stubborn about this.

Pulling out his phone, Timo quickly typed out a text.

Meet us at the house as soon as you can. Not 9-1-1 but if you’re free

He doesn’t even have time to lock his phone before Nico is liking the text, and the car inched forwards towards the exit.

“M’sorry I ruined training,” you finally say, staring out the front windshield. Timo watches you for a moment, frowning. You turn on your seat warmer.

“S’ok,” Timo assured, exiting and you tuck your knees into your chest as he accelerates. “You didn’t ruin anything. Promise.”

“Ok.”

He clears his throat. “You want anything before we get home? Hot cocoa or a hot tea?”

You make a noise of declination, sighing softly and leaning into the passenger window. And you stay that way the whole ride home.

~~~~

It was nice being home, but still not entirely better. At least now you could feel uncomfortable in the sanctity of your house.

But it was frustrating. So frustrating that a headache was steadily building up in the back of your brain and all you could bring yourself to do was take some pills and lay in a ball on the couch.

The dog jumped up, curled up next to you and you hugged him to your chest, feeling his body rise and fall as he took breathes. Timo fetched your phone from upstairs from you, covering you and the dog with a blanket while you checked the notifications.

There was only one from Nico.

Missing you extra today 😚♥️

You couldn’t help but smile at that, telling him you missed him too and blinking back pathetic tears as you tucked the phone under the throw pillow and laid back down.

Timo had barely put on the next episode of your favorite tv series when the sound of the front door unlocking startled the dog. He jumped up, slipping out from your hold and taking off to the front door with a low growl.

You frown at Timo and he just pats your head. Assuming it’s Luke coming to get something to eat or Johnny ditching his duties, you let the dog growl knowing he’ll stop when he recognizes them.

“Ruhig,” a familiar accented voice shushes, and the dog silences. You perk up, looking at Timo expectantly and he smiles a bit. “Braver hund.”

You bite at your cheek, bottom lip wobbling at your best friend and he rolls his eyes.

“Yes I called him, ok? You were really sad.”

Just as you’re sitting up on the couch Nico comes in, a carrier of drinks in hand and the dog trailing after him.

“Hey,” he says, tossing his things on the side table and placing the drinks on the coffee table. Timo grabs his eagerly, reclining back in his spot and chugging down some of his iced coffee.

Nico crouches down next to you, cupping the side of your face in his large palm. His gaze is sweet and warm, washes over you like honey.

“Why the sad face gorgeous?” He asks, a teasing lilt in his tone despite the actual underlying concern.

“Don’t know,” you mumble, covering his hand with yours and pressing it further into your skin. “Missed you a lot I guess.”

His lips quirk. “You guess?”

“You didn’t kiss me bye this morning so I can’t be certain.”

And that makes him chuckle, crinkles by his eyes and dimples those plush cheeks of his. He grabs the other side of your face, gently squeezing and bring you in so he can plant a smacking kiss on your forehead, and then on your nose, and one more on your lips just to be sure.

“Certain now?” He asks. “Or should I try again.”

“One more,” you request softly, eyes falling shut when he kisses you again, gently this time. His nose brushes against your cheekbone, hands strong and protective as they cradle your jaw.

With a quiet smacking noise he pulls back. “Now?”

“Missed you.”

Satisfied, he rises to his full height and begins to strip out of his coat and kick off his shoes. He discards them by your feet, making a loud and dramatic groaning noise as he crawls over you and squeezes himself between your back and the couch cushions.

Appeasing him, you sit up so he can slip his arm under your head but before he can hold you, you flip around and come face to face with his chest.

It’s cute when he looks down at you, chin squishing and lips frowning. “M’here now. Don’t have to miss me.”

You slip your arm around his waist, hiding your face in his chest and throwing a leg over his. Nico just holds you close, soothing fingers tracing patterns on your back and for the first time today you relax.

Breathing in his cologne and body wash, feeling how warm his skin is, how sturdy his body feels.

“Brought you hot chocolate baby,” he whispers near your ear. “For whenever you want it. Can reheat it later too.”

You press a kiss into his shirt as thanks, already feeling your heavy bones and limbs pull you into unconsciousness.

Red Cliff Part One Thoughts

I really like the style/design (idk proper terminology) whatever. The sets and the locations! The cinematography. It's all really pretty!

My heart was breaking in literally the very first scene with Emperor Xian and the little birdie and he looked so happy for a single second in his miserable life and then Cao Cao came in and he just went... deflate :(

Speaking of Cao Cao.. he didn't really do it for me. He lacked a certain chaotic pizzazz that I think Cao Cao should have. Like he was just Some Guy who occasionally went into Cartoon Villian mode and it was just a bit... bleh. He looked ok though.

Zhuge Liang is kinda cute and I like his energy. His introduction was fun with the way they had him lying in the grass. Looks-wise he doesn't really fit my image of him (i can't deal with his hair being up all the time for a start) but he's still Blorbo™

ZHAO YUN BABY RESCUE ZHAO YUN BABY RESCUE. I didn't initially know the movie covered Changban but I'm SO glad it does.

Also. He got to cuddle Liu Bei 🥺🥰 (who, I might add, DID NOT YEET HIS SON!!!)

Actually Liu Bei really was just a cute old dad in this 💗

We haven't seen much of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei but I like that Zhang Fei seems to actually have braincells. It's a nice change. Also the scene with Guan Yu reading to the kids towards the end is so fucking cute.

I was a bit confused about Sun Quan already being styled as a prince because I was sure that didn't happen until later? but maybe i'm wrong. He's kinda hot.

I found it a bit weird that Zhuge Liang could just walk up into his face like that because it feels a bit inappropriate to do that to a prince you have literally only just met?

Where is Ziyu? Where is my son??

ZHOU YU??? I HAVE to talk for a long time about Zhou Yu. To me this portrayal is like, the Real™ Zhou Yu. I mean don't get me wrong, I enjoy the petty, competitive little bitch that he often gets portrayed as thanks to Luo Guanzhong, but this dude? He's charming. He's kind. I fell so in love with him. Sure in an ideal world he'd have been more of a prettyboy in the face but hey you can't have everything, and he was still kinda handsome. With a gorgeous smile :)

Oh yeah and the way they introduce him by fixing the flute for that kid. I was like THAT'S HIM THAT'S MY NERD. My HEART.

The romantic and sexual tension between these two is off the charts

They go to see Zhou Yu's pretty wife Xiao Qiao and Zhuge Liang helps her deliver a baby horse... just... because? And they gaze lovingly at each other a bit more

And then they go into a darkened room to have sex play a duet while Xiao Qiao and Lu Su watch on awkwardly.

Then Sun Quan's baby sister Xiaomei shows up and asserts herself as the obligatory Sword Girl™. She insists on being involved in all the action and battle scenes. Which, well, fine I guess. At least she was historically into swords.

Anyway they go hunting and we have to watch a guy almost get eaten by a tiger.

Speaking of girls, after this we have to watch Zhou Yu have ACTUAL sex with his wife (possibly to try and make us forget about his chemistry with Zhuge Liang). Which is fine, I guess. But Xiao Qiao has been pretty much a cardboard cut-out Pretty Wife for most of this. She doesn't have anything inspiring or valuable to say. They don't even mention that she's a good musician too!

Off they all go back to meet Liu Bei + Crew again and they all become FRIENDS and it turns into a really cute buddy movie between Wu and Shu. Liu Bei is WEAVING SHOES.

There's a little bit of dick-measuring, but mostly they all get on and it's cute :)

Then there's a bit long battle or whatever. The most notable moment being Zhou Yu PULLING THE ARROW OUT OF HIS SHOULDER OH GOD WHYYYYY. NOO. WHY WOULD YOU RUIN A PERFECTLY GOOD MOVIE WITH THAT

And then they have a big banquet and Sun Quan decides NOW is the perfect time to propose a marriage between his baby sister and that pathetic old Liu Bei. So she seals Liu Bei's accupoints.

The difference between Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang's reactions to this is very befitting of their characters I think lmao

Cao Cao continues to be a horny vanilla old dick. Zhuge Liang and Xiaomei play with pigeons and have a cute chat. Which feels good to me because I always saw Liangliang as the type that properly respects women.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu have a final little chat where they're like "oh gosh I really hope we don't become enemies :(:(:( " and then that's the end!!

FUNKY LITTLE SELF INSERT VOICELINES IV

SYP. four out of seven regions visited, and many move adventures to be had! good luck travelers! may the gods show mercy upon your wandering soul

CHARA. aether

WARNINGS. paimon neglection :( /j rap god paimon is it obvious that i can’t think of any?

COMMENTS. now if I said how long this have been in my drafts you would laugh at me. but alas, better late than never! woo chapter 4 (well i guess its chapter 3 since mondstadt was the prolonge) of funky little self insert voicelines yay. also heads up that the text in bold is the actual voice line!!!

mond. liyue. inazuma. masterlist.

ABOUT THE EREMITES

of course with a new region calls for a wider range of enemies to go against, but the eremites seemed to stick out to you the most. you have fought other humans before such as the treasure hoarders and the inazuman kainagi, but the different classes of eremites that were constantly on all of your backs seemed fresh.

After raiding another eremite camp, paimon comes out of her pocket dimension as you and aether look to see what was in the chest they were guarding:

" the eremites are a real motley crew..." Paimon says as she looks around the camp with her hands on her hips. The camp was littered with discarded weapons, red pieces of fabric varying in qualify, and the occasional artefact.

aether shifts back his attention from the lot in the chest to paimon, "there’s certainly a diverse range of characters” he comments.

“i guess they are…” you say, while thinking about the many ranks of eremites you three have come across, your thoughts slightly wavering when you remember the eremite galehunter to which you quickly distract yourself by looking back to the contents of the chest

paimon hums as she comments “hmmm... yeah, that could explain it! paimon can play lots of different characters too.”

you and aether giving the pixie a strange look that screams “????” as she continues:

“judgy paimon, knowledgeable paimon, helpful paimon…” she says as she lists off some of her characteristics

aether mumbles under hsi breath while going back to sorting out what was in the chest, “…and of course the classic, completely-misses-the-point paimon”

as paimon continues to list off her best characteristics, you and aether silently slip away after collecting all of the chest’s loot. paimon turns around to ask what you guys think her best attributes are just to see you two not siting at the chest

“wh- where did they go?” paimon looks around for the pair of travelers just to see them a few feet away from her, walking away to find more chests.

“waah, don’t leave paimon!”

ABOUT SUMPTER BEASTS

sumeru is definetly your favourite place to explore right now! the air is so fresh, there are a wide range of both flora and fauna and even those ziplines were a ball of fun. but your favourite had to be the tons of wild animals in the jungle. of course they were dangerous, but they were unique to the sumerian jungle and were quite entertaining to watch.

paimon seemed to enjoy the sumpter beasts in particular:

“sumpter beasts are adorable! paimon likes how the people who keep them give them each a special name based on their most distinctive traits!” paimon says after just meeting a sumpter beast named after his big feet.

“hey Paimon! If you were a sumpter beast, what would your name be? "you asked palmon who hummed before she answered:

"Well.. paimon thinks they would call her compass. Cause she's the best travel guide in teyvat!" you chuckle before ruffling her hair.

“for all we know, the sumpter beasts might be giving us a name in return. maybe thats how they respond when we call their name”

Your eyebrows knitted at the thought of their name choices. Most likely they would talk like kichiboushi back in inazuma, or their dialect were far moreadvanced than ours which would explain why we can't understand them

"really? so what kind of name do you think they'd give us?"

the traveler then makes some deep gurgling sounds, which result in paimon being annoyed and you being thoroughly amused.

"How is anyone supposed to understand that!?" the pixie shouts. aether clears his throat before answering:

“Vociferous Pestiferous Melliculus Niveous Micro-Bipedal”

huh…

aether continues "that's the scientific name, of course"

"oh? what would the common name be then?'

aether smirks as he replies “noisy two-legged critter”

now paimon's fuming, "hey! why keep only the negative traits?”

ABOUT ARANARA TONGLE TWISTERS

"As the mighty travelers and their flying friend, the illustrious palmon, win yet another battle they retreat back to their base. For another adventure they shall seek out another day."

you tell your story like a bard entertaining drunk ears. The walk back to Madame Ping's table was less tiring thanks to your dramatic reenactment of your most recent adventure.

"The aranara were a lovely crew, the travelers’ hearts filled with joy after time at festival utsava. The music, food, and general atmosphere were essential to keep their spirits healthy and their hearts pure.”

"Amarama, arana, araja, even aramuhukunda will be remembered in their adventure throughout vanarara- vara- ra- va- hmm…” you stutter at the end of the sentence. aether, who was listening to your musing encouraged you to continue despite the hiccup.

" the aranara born from ararakara- arana- no…” you continue, a little slower this time “born from ararakalari… you know what? nevermind, story times over.” the other traveler laughs at your evident struggle as he tries to show off, pulling out a slip of paper from his pocket and tried his very est to read it without tripping up, but does as well as you did earlier.

paimon comes back into your teapot’s common area with all the food that her tiny hands could carry, which was apparently almost everything in the fridge.

“Paimon, do you ever find that the word "Aranara" trips you up?” aether asks as he tries to ignore paimon basically raiding his fridge.

paimon answers after swallowing the food that she basically shovelled into her mouth “hmm. why, does it trip you up? maybe that’s because you don’t really say anything most of the time.”

“Hey! I speak when I have to " he rebuts as you agree with palmon. She really does do most of the talking for your little group. Palmon giggles before continuing;

“unlike paimon! paimon has to talk all the time, so she never gets stuck on words.”

"Okay... " aether starts while handing over the slip of beige paper to the bragging pixie, who had gust finished her evening ‘snack’ “try reading this then." paimon takes the sheet and starts reading with knitted brows:

“arana the aranara exercises ararakalari in the nearby area. Narana the Nara picks Padisarahs in a parallel area futher a feild. narana the padisarah-picking nara had arranged to invite Arana the Aranara to the bar to befrend Lambad. but alas, Arana the Ararakalarí- exercising Aranara professed a preference to Padisarah - picking Nara, Narana for venturing to Vanarana to view the panorama. On account of Arana the Aranara's antipathy to bar drama, Narana the Nara relented and upon accompanying the latter on a Vanarana-panorama adventure encountered another Aranara, named Arama."

what the...?

both you and aether looked each other with your mouths wide open. she didn’t even stutter in her words, and even said the terrifying tongue twister with full fluency.

“how…” you started, not quite sure how to piece together the right words to say, “how did you do that?”

“like paimon said, if you would talk more you’d be able to read… whatever this is… with as much fluency and elegance as paimon!” paimon says as she lightly places her small fingertips on her chest, mimicking a look of superiority. this look soon faded when she stared to question what exactly she just read a few moments ago

“this must be one of those really weird dreams, right...” paimon says before raising her hand to her forehead, slightly rubbing it to soothe her pounding head “ugh, but this headache feels pretty real...”

[destinyc1020]

I'll say she was definitely more friends with Mike and Josh. You could tell by the casual jokes, Z especially talking about a debut on theater and saying "I absolutely want you guy to be there on opening night". She meant it, they were not simply cordial because of work, I genuinely think they kept in touch ever since 2022 and are still now

Whereas Dune it's different. To me, Part one was super chill and she was really feeling Timmy (ofc not implying anything romantic, but just as friends they were giving a lot). Then for Part two she was paired for the majority with Florence, she doesn't know her very well and despite being both super sweet, you could tell it was giving coworkers. And she wasn't acknowledging Timmy all that much compared to the first press tour, everyone could tell. I don't think there's bad blood or anything but something was different.

I started side eyeing Timmy when he 1) randomly name dropped her on Fallon, a super popular late night show, saying that he gave a unique pair of Wonka shoes to her and her only, like there are the only two people on earth who own it. It wasn't an innocent anecdote, I think he on purpose wanted to remind people that they're the "besties" they claimed to be. And it worked because til this day I still see locals claim that they're genuinely best best friends, meanwhile they didn't even hung out besides shooting and even when they were in the same place (bey concert) they just waved to each other from a. distance lol.

Also : again, during a very popular show on Kimmel, he made back handed jokes about her helping him getting furniture for his apartment and said "there was a bed tho" and i've seen some people clock that, being like "why did he mumble that under his breath sounding like there was at least a bed.. implying like something happened between them?" the energy was weird. Also I can't with them only having that one anecdotes form five years ago that they already told.

so yeah, different energy between dune and challengers, and I definitely prefer the latter

Mmm.... I think we're kind of comparing apples to oranges here Anon.

There are so many variables and factors that could have contributed to what YOU personally feel as being "weird" during Dune press. For one, Z, Josh, and Mike all had to be in way more intimate situations for their film. You have to REALLY get comfy let's just say lol. Not only that, but they were pretty much the main ones in the cast and had most of their scenes with each other. It's like a threesome tbh.

The Dune franchise is bigger, with more actors, and most of Zendaya's scenes were mainly with Timmy and Javier for Part 2. She barely had any scenes with Florence or Austin. In addition, Z was only on the Dune part 1 set for like a week or so for the first film, so the fact that she and Timmy even hit it off at all in the first place is pretty amazing if you ask me.

You all talk about believing what Zendaya says out of her own mouth, but yet, you all ignore her when she says that she and Timmy are friends or "besties". I personally don't think she's SUPER close to him like that, but I DO think that they are good friends! I mean, the fact that he even gave her the shoes says that they must have a friendship if he even thought to gift those to her in the first place if they are so rare.

Darnell even had him at his birthday party. Obviously he feels that Timmy is cool, and I doubt he'd be thinking that if he felt Z had an issue with Timmy. Obviously, she and Timmy have inside jokes as well, and I wouldn't be surprised if they keep in touch casually from time to time as well! She just doesn't broadcast it because she knows how crazy fans can be.

Another thing, did it ever occur to you that maybe (just maybe!) Z is more cautious IN GENERAL around her male peers who are around her age, who are attractive, and who maybe she senses fans want to ship her with? Maybe she didn't sense fans shipping her with Josh or Mike, so she felt more at ease with them? Not to mention, they had a lot of closer and more intimate scenes and dialogue, as well as a smaller set and working environment. I'm sure she made really GREAT friends with Mike and Josh! But, instead of trying to discredit her friendship with Timmy also, why not just say she's friends with ALL of them? Like, why does it have to be either or?? I don't get it.

[carruechedaily]

I saw someone on LSA saying "his victim did a song with him. Where is the outrage for her?". Again, he does not have 1 victim.. and if I'm remembering right, I think Rih's fans were disappointed in her for associating with him back then (and she cursed them out, saying she wasn't going to the altar). It was the GP who immediately shipped that union, if my memory serves me right.

Rih was dead wrong for getting mad (and blocking??) concerned/disappointed fans, just like Chloe is dead wrong for blocking people that politely told her they were disappointed. However, we know that in general; Rih gets away with way more things than the average celebrity. That is a fact that I am not disagreeing with.

People bring up other more recent artists that have worked with him, but they don't realize that they either already had a loyal enough fanbase (Summer)..or literally no one talks about them like that -- no disrespect (Cassie, Ella Mai, Dani Leigh, H.E.R [barely no one could name a song and everyone was surprised she popped up with Emmies, Grammies, and Oscars]). Doesn't make it right AT ALL, but of course stable fans are going to support and not talk much.

Chloe & Normani were getting a lot of attention bc they branched out from their groups, but still did not have a stable enough fanbase to make the decision to work with him-- especially being black women (Normani had potential for loyal fans but they got tired of her popping up at brunches and yacht parties, and throwing around music snippets every leap year).

Bey already told CxH to not read comments, and I think most celebrities should follow that.. but most don't.

The main difference is Rih was already established at the time so she could afford to check a fan or two can’t say the same for Chloe, also I would say it was a mixed reaction from both her fans and gp but people still gave her a lot of grace even if they didn’t like it. But yeah it’s like they didn’t think this through at all

[daggryet]

idk much about fontaine, though I did see the trailer but for now I'm just like. Vibing.

I kinda want tighnari if I'm honest he's cute and also having another dendro would be good (I have Yao Yao and collei, cause abyss,

I pulled characters I wanted sort of by luck without really aiming at it like when I first started playing and pulled bei dou and ningguang on accident, because I didn't know how primogems worked and saved up a decent amount (that was so gay of them actually to show up together lmao). I pulled for tohma because hes my boy and for now I am very happy with what I have (got razor in that same time which I didn't expect but am very happy about cause he uses a two-handed weapon and also electro which is my fave element and is also a wolfboy)

So yeah. I don't actually know, I might try for alhaitham when he shows up again and kaveh (cause yeah I'm one of those people. I am not immune to bickering old married couple vibes), but it's far away for now and idk. I'll see how the wind blows or whatever the saying is

I rambled on huh. so yeah. also thank you for the offer of help I might take you up on it sometime later. I am in eu but our timezones are still pretty different and I'm currently starting a three day shift so I'll be out like a light when it's evening for me and somewhere in the day for you, so yeah. we'll see. Thank you though again it's very sweet of you!!!

❤💛

same!! trying very hard to avoid leaks, but for now i'm vibing with neuvillette. i don't know what his deal if, if he's gonna be good, if i'll even be able to use him, but rn i have my heart set on him.

maybe it has to do with fyodor from bsd being his english va. Whooo knows

wishing as a newbie is a lot of fun because when you don't have a really good understanding of the system, you just pull for fun. even standard's great fun in the beginning

i have kaveh and alhaitham, and if i ever get a solid electro character that isn't a bow user (i can only handle one bow user per team... Charged attacks characters are not my favorite, but i will learn properly for tighnari), they'd be able to make a good team. in my head anyway

alhaitham is a very fun to play, so if you have the primos i'd definitely recommend him. and if your cousin gets her yae miko, that's 50% of a g-d tier team right there. kaveh was SO tough to get, i think i got him after like 70 pulls on the baizhu banner where he was featured 😭 a good investment tho because i had him as a main from that day till the day i pulled kazuha. through sheer force of will, anyone can be a good main

and of course, any time! work that changes your entire schedule is awful, just had my own two 5am starts, but i hope you made it through your shifts!

[downinsomanyfandoms]

Points that show beside Kenta, Tsubasa might had been the first person Ryuuga actually respect and because I’m mentally ill and has been thinking about them:

-Tsubasa got the balls to run it back with Ryuuga in Battle Bladers even though he knows he’s more than likely to lose (and he did it again in Metal Fury during the Tower of Babel tourney). Not because he wants to be the very best at blading or something like that, but because Ryuuga and L-Drago was his objective/stands between him and his job. Heck Tsubasa even fully stopped the dark move - something that never been done before - if those doesn’t warrant enough respect for Ryuuga to remember him by name and take him seriously then I dunno what else

-Hyouma’s mission when searching for Ryuuga was to ask him for help with the dark power problem. Ryuuga had all the opportunities to not help at all because it’s no longer his problem anymore, but he did so anyway. And then he could just give Tsubasa advices and leave, but no, he stayed behind and escorted Tsubasa to Gan Gan Galaxy, even though he absolutely doesn’t have to. Julian already let them go freely, and Tsubasa can just stumble his way back to the gang. He stayed anyway, because Tsubasa was in no right state mind nor condition to stay alone.

-You thought that “Yeah, him helping Tsubasa is him repaying his debt to Gingka for saving him from the Dark Power” then the show says “No stupid watch two more episodes”. Turns out, him coaching Gingka and giving him advices on how to deal with left-rotating bey was him returning the debt.

-So guess what, Ryuuga training Gingka is him repaying the flavor that Ryuuga owned to Gingka himself. But Ryuuga helping Tsubasa is him feeling responsible for how Tsubasa came out to be. But this is Ryuuga we talk about, you really think he would just, help someone out of the darkness if he never held respect for them in the first place

-There might be some different, but both iterations of Ryuuga respects the blader’s ability to fully master and control their bey despite the bey limit. It’s his own perception of blader spirit. Gingka has his respect, Kyouya has it too, but in Metal fury he fully looked down on them because those two were in over their heads, that simply having a star fragment and their beys evolved make them strong when all they did was just hitting the bare minimum of what they can capable of. Ryuuga scoffed at them and rightfully too. He never scolded or scoffed at Tsubasa later in the Tower of Babel tho, even though our favorite bird is no legendary blader and has nothing else go for him except his hard work as well as masterful control over his old stock combo bey. Ryuuga respected the heck out of him, enough to immediately sock an ultimate special move on Tsubasa (Eng dub) when his normal rings of fire, something that one shot Kyouya and spammed against Gingka, didn’t work. Like not many acknowledged or talked about how Tsubasa was able to handle that. And maybe Ryuuga also won’t let Tsubasa has any chance to analyze and cook up a strategy after what happened at Battle Blader lmao. That same respect also happened again with Kenta too like 😩

(That episode was so good. Then the Destroyer Doom happened and somehow Tsubasa went from being able to tank L-Drago’s rings of fire to being pushed around by 2 person who had lay off from steroids, what the hell is this inconsistent scaling the fuck Metal Fury)

Wait no actually I wanna talk about how Ryuuga and Tsubasa are the only person in mfb to stare into the depth of hell and suffering and come back from it intact and alive. There’s chips and cracks, but they’re alive despite the wounds, and that’s what matters. Can we talk about how Ryuuga actually has this respect as well as feeling responsible for Tsubasa, can we talk about that—

Bestie I didn't even watch that Arsenal x Man City game, but London is still red, Arsenal is 1st 🤗 you shouldn't have laughed at me too much. Kane in Bayern? Lmao I mean you're right, he's not gonna get anything with Tottenham kqjsjajsjsjwjdhhwhwjw. Did Jongho go and see their game btw?

Aston Villa who hehehe. There are so many London clubs though it's crazy! That's why I have two fave clubs, one that gives me joy (though not recently) pretty often and another which is 📈📉📈📉 😭 best believe I was in shambles when Arsenal and Madrid played together. Maybe it's good Arsenal is out ot CL. Yeah Liverpool sadly...💀 I like Man Utd too, never cared for City and never will jsjajshsjissbaahhshsje

Omfg you're right Hwa at the pop up was giving model, brand ambassador 😭

That selfie sign?! Kpop stans can't be normal. Also how do some people have the time to watermark and post their stuff during the concert?! Have some fun??? Unless it's the serial concert goers, they don't care anymore, just need some clout on the bird app

LSM created SM and he might destroy it now with all the lawsuits, I mean... fair tbh, except he needs to be in jail 🔫 not to mention Kakao is at the scene of the crime as well, guess they're a better option than Hybe tho. The fucking video they released??? This is war for real

I'm so sorry Baek idk why artists are allergic to Vancouver? When I saw Tamino's Canada dates I was like "omg what a coincidence, what if he comes to Baek City" but alas :/

Pon de Replay what an icon. I don't think I genuinely know any ASAP song, but it's because I don't know most mainstream songs, boomer <3 so, sorry to that man. I don't think Riri's tickets were that expensive, also her last tour was 2000 years ago 😭 speaking of Bey, she's like the opposite of Rihanna. Don't really vibe with her music, but she can put on an amazing and well-produced show

I honestly get seeing idols around, because I literally saw some ex-Wanna One members in a cafe two days ago ❤ but chasing them or purposely going to places you can spot them 🔪 (giving Oil London stalking Jimin vibes)

I eat tteokbokki pretty regularly, so it wasn't that much of a difference, they were semi-spicy, but good. Korean food is spicier than Japanese, but I still need more heat sometimes 🔥

A lot of people dislike season 4 of You, but it's funny cause it's all London and posh Brits, absolutely insufferable lmao. The tone is different, but as a whodunnit fan I ate it up! I'm looking forward to part 2, because it looks a bit more interesting.

Wish we looked that cute

Ah that's not the mushroom head I dislike, he's cute, but I was thinking of this still adorable, because it's Hwa...

M🍙pe what is this behaviour oeiwhisjswjjw tbh I hate this type of magicians, but come on. Unless it was all scripted he needs to smile a little

I was about to send you that white shirt Hwa video, amazing how I generally don't care for shirts or suits, but when it's Seonghwa......

I'm devastated Baeksy! No more "Ddeong-ppear" no more wholesome, unhinged, sweet and random stories and selfies 🤧🤧🤧🤧 I sincerely believe some idols are sad Universe is gone as well. Nooooo leave Bubble alone at least. Devastation, head in hands etc...

Fencing makes you rich??? Idk about that I trained in a shitty community centre. Ok trained is a big word, I did it for a few months only, because it was the closest thing I could get to sword fighting 😭

Oh god, see I'd be happy to see the Cursed Child movie, but anything connected to R*wl*ng is trash to me now </3 ruined everything for me, that stupid bitch

Hello he's so silly and let me lint roll you sir

Brb, breaking into that store

My Masterlist

My Fic Rec List of Mafia/Mob Bucky/Sebastian & Steve/Chris/Andy

Stuff I Posted This Week:

Steve + Bey = 4Ever » Steve Rogers and Bey carved places in each other’s hearts, that no one else could ever replace.

I Hear A Symphony » Bucky Barnes x Mutant!Reader — Reader plays an important song to her for Bucky.

—Formerly The Winter Soldier » “I’m no longer the winter soldier, my name is James Bucky Barnes & you're part of my effort to make amends.”

Lee Bodecker

(Mini) Series:

*Give In by @not-a-great-writer » soft!dark!Lee Bodecker x shy!Reader — She didn’t think she was anything special. So when the intimidating Sheriff takes an interest in her, she can’t help but feel a little unsettled. Her boring life is about to get a little interesting. | This story has to be one of my all time series I’ve ever read, and I know I will weep when it’s over. The chapters are decently sized, you have angst, fluff and smut. I couldn’t ask for more, it’s simply a masterpiece.

Deadbeat Pt. 9 by @the-witty-pen-name » Lee Bodecker x F!Reader — You work at the bar at the edge of town, the Sheriff is going through a divorce and needs to rent a room. | Cole thank you for feeding my current Lee Bodecker obsession after I watched The Devil All The Time, for the time. This story is good and I love soft!Lee, and one where no one dies. At least I hope no one dies...

SamBucky

One-Shots:

Loving You Is Cherry Pie by @river-soul » Sam Wilson x Reader x Bucky Barnes — When Sam Wilson, one of your regulars at the cafe finally asks you out, you’re ecstatic until he tells you he wants his friend to join. When you meet Bucky, you decide it might be worth your while after all. [Allusions to stalking, exhibitionism and explicit sex, 18+] | There is just not enough SamBuck stories out there and we have @river-soul to thank for feeding our love for the boys and giving us some good smut, especially to tide us over till Friday.

Nothing Good Happens After 2 AM by @callmeluna » Sam Wilson x Reader x Bucky Barnes — You are admittedly a handful when you’ve had a few drinks in you. Luckily, your partners Sam and Bucky are more than up for the challenge… maybe. | If you are looking for something to make you laugh, might I suggest reading this? The whole time as I read this I couldn’t get the huge smile off my face, it was that good.

Bucky Barnes

Drabbles:

Matching by @heli0s-writes » Bucky Barnes x Reader — Reader and Bucky are “matchy matchy,” with their belly button rings. | This is adorable as well as very funny.

One-Shots:

Smooth Criminal by @bestofbucky » Bucky Barnes x Reader — Based on a dream @velvetcardiganbucky had.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Don’t Over Do It by @whisperlullaby » Bucky Barnes x Reader — Your boyfriend is an asshole. Bucky reminds you that you are perfect the way you are. | I can’t describe this anyway other than perfect, that I wish I had a Bucky like this there for me. Trust me you’ll love the ending.

Coming Home to You by @angrythingstarlight » Biker!Bucky Barnes x Reader — Your Biker boyfriend is finally home and he’s going to show you how much he missed you. With every inch he has. And you’re going to remember how much he loves you. | It’s not very often you read something that has an alternate ending and when you do you find yourself loving both endings. Both endings are hot, the smut is great, again who couldn’t love Biker!Bucky?

Won’t Let You Go by @kind-of-crazy-butthatsokay » Mob!Bucky Barnes x OFC!Kori — Kori met Bucky in one of his clubs, out to get shit-faced with a couple of friends to forget about her worries and maybe take home a guy to further rid herself of her numerous frustrations. Little did she know that the one-night stand with Bucky would turn into so much more than that. | Thank you so much for entering my writing challenge, it means so much. This one-shot is so good, it hit me right the feels and left me falling in love with Kori and Bucky.

Show Me How To Ride by @angrythingstarlight » Beefy Biker!Bucky Barnes x Reader — You’ve been keeping a secret from your biker boyfriend. He is going to get the information out of you one way or the other. | It’s hot and it makes you realize just how much you realize just how much you love Biker!Bucky.

Bubble Baths by @floatingpetals » Bucky Barnes x Reader (Modern AU) — Even your boyfriend Bucky, needs to wind down at the end of a stressful with a bubble bath, but he doesn’t want to do it alone. | Okay, so my summary of this sucks but let me just say this is fluffy and smutty all at once. I wish I had Bucky to take a bubbly bath with.

Bad Boy!Bucky Barnes x Shy!Reader by @gagmebucky — in which there’s nowhere to sit and bucky offers his lap—then, subsequently, his cock. (bad boy!bucky x shy!reader, dirty talk, exhibitionism and voyeurism, cockwarming, unprotected sex.) | *chugs water* yeah is it a little hot in here? I probably would have failed class if Bucky had been in my class along with Steve, I wouldn’t have known who to stare at, forget learning the material.

**Greater Good by @fuel-joy » Bucky Barnes x Reader — There is a cure for the zombie outbreak but is it worth the cost. | Grab your tissues, because you are going to need them. Thanks darling for entering my writing challenge and making me feel so many feels with this one.

(Mini) Series:

A Tender Heart ♥️ Pt. 2 by @river-soul » Alpha!Bucky Barnes x Omega!Reader — You’ve been sweet on Bucky since you started working at the compound six months ago. Normally quiet and mild mannered, an unexpired fight with a coworker brings Bucky into your orbit. [A/B/O dynamics, brief mention of bullying and fluff] | If anyone can pull at your heartstrings it’s @river-soul making the beginning of this series look so promising and I can’t wait to see where it goes.

Run To You 🪙 Pt. 10 🪙 Pt. 11 🪙 Pt. 12 by @bestofbucky » Mob!Bucky Barnes x Bodyguard!Reader — Mob boss Bucky Barnes hires you to be his bodyguard. | Jenny left me at the edge of my seat, making this such an amazing story, I always look forward to her updates, and so sad that there is only 1 chapter left.

Better than Working sequel to This by @angrythingstarlight » Beefy Biker!Bucky Barnes x Reader — Beefy Biker Bucky shows you all the benefits of working from home. In fact what he has for you is so much better than work. | Sometimes you just need to read something hot to lift your spirits, let this do that.

Stucky

One-Shots:

*Tell Me What You Want by @angrythingstarlight » Mafia!Steve Rogers x Reader; Mafia!Bucky Barnes x Reader — Your mob boyfriend, is none other than Steve Rogers and he is willing to get you whatever you wanted, all you have to do is ask. And be careful what you ask for because he’s going to give it to you over and over again. | This is so hot that I highly recommend not reading this anywhere out in public. The smut in this is just *chefs kiss*

(Mini) Series:

Miracle Pt. 2 🥀 Pt. 1 by @heavenhatesme » Soft!Dark!Bucky Barnes x Reader; Soft!Dark!Steve Rogers x Reader — When infertility threatens mankind with extinction and there hasn’t been a baby for almost 18 years, what happens when two certain super soldiers fall for the same woman and accidentally impregnate her? | It’s not tagged as dark, sorry to the writer I tagged it that please forgive me? But I just want to tell everyone heed the tags. I do look forward to reading what happens next. The smut in this is great!

Invisible Ink by @navybrat817 » Bucky Barnes x Reader, Steve Rogers x Reader; Bucky Barnes x Reader x Steve Rogers — The owners of the Howling Commandos Tattoo Parlor want to make you their best girl. | I love the idea of tattoo’d Bucky and Steve, but that's because I have a weakness for tattoo’s.

Steve Rogers

Drabbles:

Chocolate Milk & Dino Nuggets by @nony-bear » Steve Rogers x Reader — Daddy Steve helps make his little girl feel better after a long week. DDLG THEMES | Had me wishing I had a Steve to make me Dino nuggets after a long day at work. It’s precious folks.

Prompt 4K Drabble Challenge by @sweeterthanthis » Steve Rogers x Reader — “Show me how deep you can take it.” | You’re going to need an ice cold bath after this one.

One-Shots:

A Cruel Tide by @writerwrites » Nomad!Steve Rogers x Reader — A lost hero thinks she needs saving, but this divorcée’s needs were different, fleeting, and then full of attachment. Can they overcome the burdens on their shoulders and keep their word? | Sometimes you want to wrap the reader and Steve in a blanket and protect them while enjoying the smut. This gave me that and more.

Untitled Request by @navybrat817 » Steve Rogers x Reader — Sending Steve a naughty photo while he’s in a meeting leads to punishment that will remind you to never do it again, right? | Hi, I’m just going to drench myself in ice cold water. ✌🏻

After meeting you, Steve believes his broken family is the missing piece in the puzzle of your own wrecked one. Indebting the crime lord to you has been the biggest mistake of your life, cause now you can’t get rid of him, no matter what. Loyalty and favours go a long way in the mob. | This story always gets my heart a racing and leaves you with questions as to what is going to happen next. I truly love it and Soft!Dad while being Angry!Mob boss Steve all at the same time, this story just has it all for me.

This Is My Unbecoming by @river-soul » Werewolf!Steve Rogers x Witch!Reader — When the Hydra pack graduates from turning humans to swell their ranks to kidnapping and murdering witches to consolidate power, Steve knows he needs to strike. He makes a deal with a powerful coven leader for a witch of his own in exchange for destroying the rogue pack. [Magical realism, biting, blood, slightly dubious consent and explicit sex, 18+] | Okay this is so good and I would like to thank the teenage mind of @river-soul for creating this! Like seriously thank you. I look forward to reading more!

It’s been a long, long time ☕️ Ch.1 by @mostly-marvel-musings » Steve Rogers x Reader — Steve Rogers – a man who has lost too much finds himself blending into the crowd in attempts to forget his past but revisits familiar places and spends days sketching his heart out. A rainy evening leads him to find shelter in your coffee shop. Is having meaningful conversations over endless cups of coffee with a stranger the key to unlocking a heart that’s lost the will to love? | The prologue tore my heart out, it truly did but the first chapter just puts the pieces back together. I really love this and I’m honestly looking forward to reading what happens next. I can’t thank you enough for entering my writing challenge!

*Not A Team Part: 1 by @shedobewritingalittle » Steve Rogers x Reader — The Reader tries to live a normal life, but her memories won’t leave her alone. Rhodey comes to visit the reader with a proposition. | There aren't a lot of stories out there that have walk on parts with Rhodey in it and I didn’t know how much I missed out on having him in stories till I read this. This was just so well written and the characterization of Rhodey was perfect, how Peyton got the emotions written across, it’s perfect. Read this and have some tissues on hand.

Misc.

One-Shots:

An Act of Kindness by @stargazingfangirl18 » Jake Jensen x Female!Reader — A simple act of kindness seals your fate. | I would like to simply start of by saying that this was my first Jake Jensen fanfiction in years, or maybe my first one, and all I could was where have I been hiding from him? So good and glad I read this and so will you!

*Come Back Safe by @celestialbarnes » Sam Wilson x Reader — based on tfatws, you find out sam’s leaving for a mission, afraid to lose the man you love, you confront him, and he promises you to come back. | So fluffy you’ll want to cuddle it under a blanket fort and wish under a thousand starry night skies for it to come true.

After a dismal attempt at making chocolate chip cookies, you volunteer to help Wanda learn how to bake. Your friendship grows stronger with each successful recipe until the two of you stumble into something even sweeter than baked goods. | This story will constantly have you smiling, sure it’s only 3 chapters so far, but I started off reading it in a bad mood but by the 3rd chapter I was just so sappy and happy. I can’t wait for more!

Without Me by CuttingMyFingersOff » Legolas x OFC!Braigeth — Braigeth was an elf who has nothing but memories of Legolas to help her survive being imprisoned in the walls of Orthanc. That is, until she is able to escape and reunite with him. | I’ve been invested in this since my friend came forward to me with the idea for this story and now that it’s being written, I couldn’t be more excited to read it. I need more Lord of the Rings in my life if I’m being honest.

Forever and Ever More by @syntheticavenger » Dark Alpha!Ransom Drysdale x Omega!Reader — Ransom Drysdale may be Boston’s most eligible Alpha but he has his eyes set on you.

So can I request a dilf pro hero deku x young pop star reader that gives off y2k, arianna, bey, doja type of vibes and I have seen the hate you have been getting couple days back and I truly hope your doing ok and don’t mind them because they just jealous they can’t do it like you

I’m a simple woman, i see dilf deku and i respond :) and thank you anon you’re very sweet :3 and yeah i’m fine, just out here living my best life :))

Request for: Izuku Midoriya Warnings: kids :), i really really tried to pull the right vibes but damn it was kinda hard even though i love these kids of vibes it’s hard being stupid, age difference i guess (it’s by 10 years and both parties are fully consenting adults (by US standards)) ~~~

“Have you heard the rumors?”

It’d be hard not to at this point. The so-called rumors had spread entirely throughout hero culture let alone Japan. 

“She’s what? Half his age?”

No, actually, not at all. A few years difference, sure, but not nearly enough to garner the attention it was getting. But then again, a hero - a father prohero - dating a pop sensation was already a scoop, the fact that she was younger didn’t help.

Midoriya, Nozomi had cornered herself into a chair while makeup artists and hairdressers alike ran through the dressing room. She was supposed to be doing homework, but hey, a chance at going backstage to the Japan Record Awards didn’t come and go as easily as homework. Besides, (Y/n) promised not to tell her father.

“Where’s your dad? We have to see that our outfits match before going out.”

Nozomi paused her mindless doodling on spare paper to look at her dad’s girlfriend, “Uhh, bathroom? Nervous puking maybe.”

A soft chuckle and (Y/n) was trying to hold still best she could for her eyeliner, “Gross. Hope he’s feeling okay. Poor thing gets so anxious before these.”

“I can go knock on the door if you want?”

“That’d be great, thank you,” (Y/n) refrained from nodding, last thing she wants is to be a hassle for the crew.

Watching as Nozomi stalked off through the rushing people, (Y/n) felt her heart warm at how well the little girl was rounding in life. Izuku had raised her well after his ex-wife left. Not that it was a surprise. 

She’d met Inko and that woman was an incredible mother, it was likely she was putting her two cents in whenever Izuku needed them. Izuku himself had turned out splendidly - respectful, sweet, selfless. Sure, he was not without flaw, but that only made him more perfect in (Y/n)’s mind.

A man carved at the universe’s hands.

“Talk about daddy issues.”

Izuku had heard the whispers first-hand. His colleagues at U.A could be less-than-kind about his relationship. His own interns at his agency would murmur whenever (Y/n) came around. Whether it was recognition or judgment, he didn’t care to know.

She’d said she didn’t mind with that cute smile of hers. He wanted to believe her, he really did, but nobody could be totally unaffected by the stares no matter how long they were in the spotlight.

“Dad? What’re you doing in the hall? (Y/n)’s almost ready.”

Jumping slightly, Izuku placed a hand over his heart at the fright of suddenly hearing his daughter’s voice. He smiled softly at the young girl, “Just nerves, don’t worry about me,” he tapped the button of his daughter’s nose, “What’re you doing in the hall, little lady? Hmm?”

“Getting you,” Nozomi huffed, swatting at her father’s hand, “Don’t do that.”

“Alright, alright,” he shrugged before turning the girl by her shoulder and walking her back to the dressing room, “You plan on wearing your school uniform out or do you wanna actually put on the dress we bought you?”

“She’s too young to be taking on that responsibility.”

Most people saying that were parents far before (Y/n) even met Nozomi, and Izuku tried keeping that in mind.

Looping his arm through (Y/n)’s, he felt his chest burst in remembrance of why the whispers didn’t matter. All that mattered were his daughter and the love of his life. If he could have them both, nothing could sway him.

“Ready?”

“If you are,” (Y/n) giggled, picking up the tail of her Cinderella dress, “I’m ready to win my award, if that’s what you’re asking.”

“Cocky,” Izuku teased briefly, stepping out onto the carpet and into the flashing lights of cameras and shouted questions of prying reporters.

“Well yeah, my song was everywhere, babe,” she shrugged off, “Americans were blasting it. My shit’s good.”

“It is, I’ll agree on that.”

“How does it feel to date a dad ten years older than you?”

(Y/n) blinked in surprise at the sudden question, craning her neck to peek at whoever had spoken, “I’m sorry?”

“Darling, don’t,” Izuku sighed quietly, “You’ll get in trouble.”

“No, no, what was the question?”

The reporter cleared their throat, a smarmy grin smeared over his face, “How does it feel to date a dad ten years older than you?”

Laughing in pure shock at the man’s boldness, (Y/n) grinned throughout her response, “Pretty great honestly, but uh, how does it feel to be so devoid of boundaries you try to make someone insecure about their relationship?”

Izuku awkwardly chuckled as the reporter stopped in his tracks, beginning to drag his girlfriend away, “You didn’t have to say that.”

She hummed in a carefree manner, clearly disinterested in any consequences of her actions, “He had it coming.”

Okay, so I did not expect my silly lil joke to breach containment like this while I was at work but here we are and I do feel obligated to reply cause there are so many people reblogging this and uuuuuuurgh

please do not minimise addiction like this. And don't confuse dependency with addiction. I am not physically addicted to glasses nor can I become physically addicted to glasses. Not having my glasses doesn't cause me adverse effects CAUSED by the lack of glasses - they solve the adverse effects I suffer from cause I have bad eyesight. That's different

Generally speaking when talking about addiction there are two types of addiction: physical and psychological. And both are bad. Physical means your body depends on sth. It causes your body distress if you lack said thing. It can cause death if you lack said thing. Physical addiction via meds is to be avoided at all costs caUSE THE LACK OF THE THING CAN CAUSE DEATH AND DEATH IS BAD! Psychological addiction is harder to recover from tbh cause your brain is in charge of what you do but what psychological addiction does not do is kill you. So it should be avoided but also it's not the worst thing in the world if you put in the work (e.g. being addicted to your phone)

I don't fully disagree that people consider meds a temporary thing but it's more that people want a quick fix for sth in my opinion and the issue with most things that need regular medication is that they usually cannot solved by meds alone (e.g. diabetes, depression, ADHD (!), chronic pain) and people do not like putting in the work

A huge issue with ADHD in general but especially when talking about medication is that most people who think those meds can be addictive? they also don't think ADHD is actually real or that bad and you are just using medication to solve personality issues

most people who start on ADHD meds are children and the people who make this decision are parents and parents naturally do (and should) worry so yeah, hearing my child might need sth for the rest of their life? usually not a good thing also I will do research and there is a lot of shit written and yes I will be afraid of the worst

look, the Nixon quotes are awful and he sounds like a horrible person and I am not naive enough to think that his policies haven't had some of an effect on the view on drugs / addiction affecting me HOWEVER his words and actions don't have any direct easily traceable effect on how the people I know view my meds. You know whose criminal laws for certain drugs do personally affect me? The Netherlands that decriminalised stimulants. Cause I know people who cross the border to buy them freely and they do so to abuse them (re: they will snort them usually). Why doesn't Nixon matter? CAUSE I AM NOT FROM THE US. so no, I do not think Nixon or US laws have any effect on me or a lot of people in the world who take stimulants

going back to the chronic illness thing: let's not throw chronic pain (a nerv issue) and adhd (a developmental disorder) and cancer (an illness) into one cause all three are different and the arguments for all of these are different even if some of those are stupid ... comparing stimulant to opioids is literally why we have to have discussions like this and it's such a bad example ... marijuana works a lil better cause misinformation but also no cause it's a different situation and a different effect

last point: please do not misunderstand what Portugal did by decriminalising the use of drugs cause what Portugal did was actually listen to experts who said: the criminalisation of drugs kills people cause people cannot get the help they need for being addicted to certain drugs. Portugal doesn't allow the commercial selling of drugs either, they just don't punish you for buying or taking them. That's different.

okay, I think that's it. I am done.

TL:DR

Addiction is bad but people shouldn't be punished for it.

Not all people on tumblr dot com live in the US.

Being dependent on sth is not the same as being addicted and throwing them together is actually the reason people have such reservations against ADHD meds (but both are bad things and should not be taken lightly)

„ADHD meds are addictive“ they say as I take my meds more than 2h later than usual cause I forgot but only realized cause I was able to eat without issue

Sick Day - Batfam x Fem!Reader

Synopsis : It’s never fun to be sick. Duh. But when  you have loving parents there to take care of you, maybe it isn’t so bad ? Just short little snippets of the first time each Batkids fell ill in Wayne Manor, and how Bruce and his wife (you :D) dealt with it. 

Another “burst of the moment inspiration” story, just a little drabble. Promise I’ll post something more elaborate soon :), hope you’ll like it : 

My master list blog : @ella-ravenwood-archives

__________________________________________________

(Thanks to that anon who mentioned the kids getting shots, that gave me with this an idea on how to start this fic :D. The original beginning was different, I think I like that one better hehe.)

"Mister Wayne, if you keep doing this, I'm not going to be able to give your son-Bruce for god's sake !"

Leslie Thompkins, for the first time in her long career, was about to lose her patience and give up on...giving a simple shot to a baby. 

She has seen worried parents before, of course. The one that clung to their child’s hand, or those who would cry because their little one was in pain…

Babies that young, who had to get vaccinated for the first time, never really experienced this sort of quick pain before. 

A lot of them would cry more out of surprise than because it really hurt. Oh and when the parents were extra worried, you could be sure the baby was even more likely to burst into tears, sensing his parents' distress.

Yes. doctor Thompkins gave shots to a LOT of babies, and saw a LOT of worried parents before…But never had she met someone quite like Bruce Wayne.

He always came to her when his kids were sick. He could go to a fancier office, or to one of those pricy fancy private hospitals. But no. 

No because, when it came to his kids’ health, there was no one he trusted more than Doctor Leslie Thompkins. 

So it was no surprise when he brought his youngest son, Thomas, to get his first shot ever. What was a surprise though, was his reaction.

"And now you know why I'm always the only one in the room when this happens."

You say, smiling apologetically to the doctor. But ah, at least your husband's reaction eased a little the tension in your body brought by the mere idea of your baby being hurt. 

Every single time Leslie got the syringe close to your little one, Bruce would reflexively grab her wrist and stop her from giving the shot to his son.

Ridiculous, really. 

But it seemed it was something he couldn't fight. 

He apologized the first time he did it, as Dr Thompskins smiled and said it was ok, rather amused. But then the second time, it was getting clear he didn't seem to quite control himself. At the third time Bruce was visibly sweating. Dr Thompkins finally snapped as she tried for a fourth and fifth time to give a shot to little Thomas (who, at barely 2 months old, was much too young to even understand what was happening, but by his little smiles it was clear he was happy every time his father would come into his vision).

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just…I thought I could do it, but I can't."

And oh. Oh it's adorable the way he turns to you, his eyes saying "I'm sorry" as he takes his son back in his arms and holds him against his chest. You weren’t sure if it was to comfort little Tommy, or if he was comforting himself. 

"I think I should just let you two handle this ?" He asks, unsure. He doesn’t want you to be mad or to think he’s abandoning you. 

"I think this is a good idea Bruce, yes."

You smile at him reassuringly. It’s fine. It was always fine. 

"I'm sorry, sorry I'm letting you do this alone once again. I just can't…"

"Oh it's ok my Broosh, I know you hate shots. I can handle it, and little buddy here sure can too."

Thomas coos happily as you pick him up delicately from his father's arms. Bruce resists a bit, before finally giving in and letting you take hold of the little one. 

He lays a hand on his son's head, looking fondly at him (of this look he only gives his children, of this pure look full of unconditional love, and a hint of “what did I do to deserve this sort of happiness ?”) and then sighs, press a soft kiss to your forehead, murmuring a last “I’m sorry, my love” and leaves the room. 

He feels a little ashamed to let you do this once again, but you've always been the strongest one out of the two. After all, you willingly decided to marry a man like him…

"Alright Mrs Wayne, ready ? And here we-oh not you too (Y/N) !"

"I'm sorry I'm sorry, I don't know what took over me, it was just a reflex too !"

You apologize, as you let go of the doctor's wrist…

Yeah, it was just a gut reaction to seeing a scary needle approaching your baby's thigh. In your line of um, nightly work, you came to be very wary, of syringes. You still remember vividly that time Tim got hit with one of Scarecrows’ needle, and how terrible this night had been...

"Ok ok, now is fine. Go. I'm ready. Go fast though, now. Now I’m not looking. Go. Go. Go."

Tears welling up in your eyes at the mere thought of this happening, you look away as you hold your son still (something he doesn't like as clearly shown by his little sound of protest, and as he starts to fuss about), and in one, two seconds…it's done. 

And not a peep from your son. 

He just stopped making any sound (he've always been rather vocal), his eyes went wide, and he made a face that looked like he wasn’t sure if he was supposed to cry or not. Then there’s one more second, and Leslie had a soothing bandaid on his little leg, and you were holding him against your heart, and the pain was so fleeting and already gone, that he just gets over it quickly, feeling your love.

Calming down instantly, not noticing the tears in your eyes (thank god, or it’d be a sure way to make him weep too).

And so he doesn't cry. And everything is ok again.

“Well, that wasn’t so hard, was it ?”

“Actually, it was.”

You say, barely holding your tears in, your son cooing in your arms 

“Um...I was talking to Thomas.” 

Leslie answers, amused. And just like that, you both burst into laughter.

After a few minutes of this uncontrollable fit of giggles, you thank Leslie for her help, and leave the room, joining your husband who had been walking back and forth in the waiting room, nervous. 

He comes immediately to you and Thomas, and as soon as the boy sees his dad he smiles widely and giggles. Bruce gives him a soft smile, before turning to you : 

“How was it ?” 

“For me ? Not great. For Tommy ? He didn’t even utter a sound. Our little guy is brave !” 

You kiss your son on his forehead, and he giggles and coos even more. There’s a short silence, before Bruce says : 

“I’m sorry...”

And then he takes you in his arms, sandwiching little Thomas who’s protesting a bit. Damn, his parents could be so clingy ! 

“It’s ok my Broosh, I already told you. It’s ok.” 

You sort of knew since you stepped into the doctor’s room that you’d end up being the one having to hold your boy anyway.

You knew oh too well how squeamish he was whenever HE had to get a shot done (and oh who would’ve thought the big bad bat hated getting shots so much uh ? You were pretty sure he would rather getting actually shot than take a tiny needle in his arm any day of the week...Alfred always had to fight with him to inject anesthesia when treating him for wounds). It was actually sort of a requirement, that you’d be next to him to give him your hand when he absolutely had to get a shot.

So understandably so, he always skipped on his children’s vaccins. He just couldn’t bear to see anyone he cared for to get that very things he hated so much, it just made him feel ill.

And you’ve always been fine with this. Since that very first day when you took Dick there...But Bruce always felt bad.

Because whenever you’d get out of the doctor’s office, you’d have fresh tears in your eyes, because you were just too pure for this world (is what Damian would say).

Dick always took advantage of this. He was never really scared of shots, and thought they didn’t really hurt...But oh, oh he would always cry a river of crocodile tears just so he’d get extra cuddles and ice cream.

And then, that cheeky little bugger passed that knowledge of “when we get shots, or we get sick, the parents literally let us do WHATEVER we want !” to his little siblings (you were actually pretty sure your kids would pass secret ways to manipulate you and Bruce along to their younger siblings and..you were oddly fine with it. You loved those kids too much to care, really).

This thought reminded you of that very first time Dick fell sick, shortly after you and Bruce officially adopted him. 

And how much you guys freaked out. 

It was both a pleasant, and terrible memory. 

And oh. Oh you already dreaded the day Thomas would have his first real fever...You still remembered how it happened, with all your other children. 

“What is it ?” Bruce asks, always knowing when something was on your mind. And so you say : “Nothing bad, this just reminds me of when Dick got sick for the first time while with us...”

A light of recognition ignited in Bruce’s eyes, he knew exactly what you were talking about. 

Bruce only had fond memories of when he was sick and his mom and dad would take care of him.

He thought they were the best, wether they’d hold a “barf-bucket” for him, or stay up all night because he was too feverish...

What he never realized though, is that having a sick child was actually absolutely terrifying ! Bruce often felt sick himself, when the kids were ill.....ah, but nothing ever beats those first time each of them got sick.

DICK 

Dick wasn't as young as Thomas, when he first came into your life. None of them were. But he was still a cute little bean, your baby. 

Eight years old, and oh so sweet and nice and cute and you could just squish his little cheeks all day (albeit from the few outburst of anger at times, but hey, he was but a child, every kid throw tantrum from times to times).

He had been living with you and Bruce in the Manor for the past six months, when you had your first fright, and realized that being a parent meant being worried about your kid's well being for the rest of your days

Dick was definitely a tiny kid when he came in your life. He was rather short, only having a growth spurt when he was around 14/15. Barbara Gordon used to tease him to no end about this, up until he finally caught up with her and ended up being taller.  

But yes, his small stature for his age, maybe made you baby him even more than the others, sometimes. 

Ah. That first time little Dick Grayson was sick at Wayne Manor. 

You. Freaked. The. Fuck. OUT. 

You and Bruce, both. 

Coincidentally, Dick became ill ON THE ONLY FEW DAYS OFF ALFRED WOULD TAKE A YEAR !! 

Every year, for a theater festival, Alfred would take off to his homeland, to England, in London to be exact, for but a few days. 

The three of you were in the batcave. Bruce was getting ready to go out, while you were on the bat computer and Dick was training on the side, doing some acrobatics on the trampoline Bruce installed. 

And then he came to you, pulling on your sleeve, and he was so pale...

“I don’t feel too well.” 

He said, right before throwing up for a few way too long seconds, as tears welled up in his eyes...it was never nice to throw up, and once again, no matter how mature he acted, you were reminded that Dick was but an eight year old child. 

But he wasn’t only crying because throwing up fucking sucked. He was also crying because he thought you were going to be mad at him. 

You reassured him, as you cleaned his little face up, and Bruce (who looked quite green himself...later on, you’d discover than when his kids or you were sick, he felt sick too...quite a strong reaction, really) carried him upstairs. 

You were frantically googling how to take care of a sick child, as Bruce stayed with Dick, holding a bark bucket to his face, and drawing soothing circles on his back with his hand. 

The panic dumbed the both of you down. It seemed like you couldn’t think, as you tried to make Dick as comfortable as he could. 

You could feel your anxiety blowing through the roof, and knew that Bruce was close to have a panic attack himself (he was prone to them, although you and Alfred were the only one who knew).

You didn’t know what was worst, the fact he was sick and had no idea what you were supposed to do, or how much Dick was sobbing and apologizing. 

“Should we call Dr. Thompkins ?”

“I don’t know her number, Alfred is the one that calls usually...” 

“Should we take him there then ?” 

“I don’t know, Alfred is-” 

This went on for a little bit, as Dick was throwing up and crying. Saying “sorry !” every two seconds. But...Instinctively, Bruce was trying to soothe him with those warm pats on his back. And you were caressing his hair, empathetic. And...

You decided to not go to the doctor today, Dick was sick, but not sick enough to take him to an emergency. And in Gotham ? Leslie was needed for a lot, especially in evenings like this. 

“Alfred um, gives me flat soda when I have a stomach ache ?”

“On it !” 

You say, bolting on your feet and running to the kitchen, taking a cola and opening it up. Meanwhile, Dick’s fit calmed down, and he seemed to instantly feel better as he probably threw everything he needed to up... 

He seemed content, cuddling against Bruce as the man was softly patting his back in small circles, and using his other hand to hold his head delicately. 

You and Bruce were definitely not experienced parents yet, and it showed. 

It showed by those first few minutes of utter panic, as your child got suddenly sick. And it showed as how you instantly just thought of calling Alfred...

That day, you both realized though, that you couldn’t always rely on the butler when it came to raising your son. For situations exactly like that one.

Both you and Bruce were still young, and scared to make mistakes but..You had to try. And you had to keep a cool head. Your motherly instinct kicked in.

It was so odd, seeing the big bad bat, wearing his costume without the cowl on (he didn’t have time to take it off as he rushed upstairs with the boy in his arms), looking so worried... 

Bruce was so pale, and you could see that in a way, he felt his son’s pain too...Which just made your head click, and take action. 

“Ok, ok we can do this. Keep the barf bucket close, let’s wait for the soda to get flat, and um...let’s try to distract him. A movie, perhaps ?”

Dick nodded, and although he wasn’t throwing up anymore, he seemed too weak to stand up (or maybe he was faking, could be, honestly, with that one...doesn’t matter) so Bruce carried him again. 

And it was a sight. Bruce was a tall man. And Dick was a very small kid. 

It was cute. and in that moment...In that moment it felt like you both suddenly realized what it meant, to be a parent.  

Bruce, holding his son in his arms, feeling the little one’s heartbeat and slowed breath as he was kinda nodding off...was this how his own father felt, when holding him ? It was nice. It was a surge of pure love, and knowing that he would die for that kid if he had to. Hell, he would burn the whole world, for that kid. 

It was so odd. The situation wasn’t that crazy, Dick probably just ate something bad, and with the trampoline and all the jumping around...he got sick. 

As a child, you had those rapid sick moments of having a bad stomach ache, which would turn into throwing up, to then feel better. Those sudden moments when your own parents would take care of you...

Ah. You hadn’t realized how much worry being a parent would bring. Bruce didn’t either. You guys adopting Dick felt like an obvious thing to do. Felt like it was meant to be...

But it wasn’t just yet, that you felt like a mom. Or a dad. 

It took some time to build. Just like it took time for Dick to call you “mom” and “dad”. And in that moment, as your kid (yes, your kid) was sick, that was it...

Finally. Yes. That was it. 

You were a mom. 

Bruce was a dad. 

Dick was your son. 

Of course you panicked as he suddenly got sick. But now, it was in your hand to properly take care of him. And thus started the first ritual you’d ever make with one of your children. 

Dick, when sick, liked chicken noodle soups. Made by you. He liked cuddles, up until he turned 12 or 13, then he acted as if he was too grown up for them. This eventually stopped when he turned 19, not long after Jason’s death...He regressed back to a little boy in some ways, and needed you. And Bruce. 

You’d often drive to Bludhaven just to give him chicken noodle soup and sprite, when he got sick. Even as he grew older and older...He loved it. No one could ever beat his mom babying him, when he felt under the weather. 

JASON 

"Hey buddy, are you ok ?” 

“Yes, yes I’m ok mom.” 

He smiles at you sweetly, his eyes half-closed, and clearly still relishing in the fact that he can finally call someone “mom”. But this happiness he felt whenever he realized he was finally safe, and had a home, was oddly dimmed, this morning. 

“Are you su-OH MY GOD !” 

Your hand is burning, as you lay it on his forehead. 

He’s burning up !

“Hey wow hey, kiddo, come here, you’re not feeling well are you ?” 

But Jason shakes his head, and says : 

“No I’m good. Just tired, but I’ll wake up soon.” 

He smiled again, but it felt all wrong. 

Of course, you didn’t take his words for it, even if you knew Jason wasn’t a liar. But the fact spoke for themselves, your kid was NOT alright. No matter what he was saying. 

Turned out, you were definitely right. He really wasn’t alright. 

In fact, Jason had...pneumonia. A bad case of it. That he probably caught when he was playing earlier that day, in the snow, with Bruce, staying out up until his lips were blue and he was soaking wet !! Bruce could just never resist him, and didn’t have the heart to say “no” when the kid kept asking on playing more...

He dearly regretted it. But you reassured him, this wasn’t his fault. It wasn’t. 

You rushed to the hospital, Bruce holding a tiny little Jason wrapped tight in a few warm blankets. And the doctor confirmed you made the right call, taking him to the ER. 

It wasn’t like with Dick, where it was obvious the boy had a mild sickness. No. Jason really looked bad, and ready to drop. 

You and Bruce let once again your parental instincts kick in and...It was the right call. 

When Jason woke up, he let out a string of apologies and you realized...You realized the kid was terrified you wouldn’t want him anymore if he bothered you too much. Was scared to death that you’d want to take him back where you found him, that you’d give up on him. 

His real life father bolted at the first signs of troubles. His mother was a drug addict for whom he was never good enough to try and get cleaned up. 

He was abandoned, over and over again along his short life and...he was absolutely terrified that if he was too much of a nuisance to you two, you and Bruce would leave him as well. That you wouldn’t bother. 

And it broke your hearts. 

Softly, when Jason finally got better, after a few days of utter nightmare for you and Bruce, you took him home. He still needed some rest, as he was a little sick, so you tucked him comfortably in his bed and finally, you told him : 

“From now on, you promise me to tell us when you don’t feel ok ? Wether you think it’ll bother us or not. You will never bother us, little buddy, ok ?”

“Ok”, Jason said, unsure. 

“What do I have to say or do, to convince you you’ll never be a nuisance to us ?” 

The question took Jason by surprise, and he wasn’t quite sure of what to say. In his feverish state anyway, he had a hard time thinking. He heard himself say : 

“Stay with me ?” 

“Of course. Always little one, always.” 

And as he softly drifted to sleep, feeling the cold and soothing towel you would wet over and over again to put on his forehead, he heard you hum a song from your childhood, that would become a song always sure to put him to sleep. 

He was out, when Bruce said : “I’ll stay home tonight.” A shame, really. Because maybe, maybe if he heard that the Batman was going to skip patrol just to keep an eye on him...Then he’d know he would never bother him. Ever. 

That he would forever hold a dear, prime place in his heart.

Jason woke up the next morning, and found you and Bruce asleep on the floor, right next to his bed. You were still holding a towel that had long since dried up, and one of Bruce’s hand was clutched tightly on your shirt. 

The basin full of cold water laying on his bed side table was almost empty. Jason smiled. 

He felt better after a few hours of good sleep, and slowly got out of the blankets, pulling them with him, to then lay down next to you two, throwing the thick quilt over all of you. 

Later that day, Alfred found the three of you all cuddled up. He snatched a picture. Picture that was framed, amongst some of your favorite of your children, in your office. And in Bruce’s. 

The way you sung him to sleep when he was sick...When he died, it was the last thing he thought about. When he saw the bomb would explose before Bruce could save him. 

He thought of how soothing it was, to be taken care of by you. And your humming voice rung in his ears, as he realized he was going to die. Right there. 

Oh. Oh he wished he could be a little sick eight years old again, forget all his worries, and just fall asleep with the sound of your voice in his ears, while his dad would hold the both of you in his arms...

TIM 

“Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne, go back to bed this instant !”

Tim was the most difficult one, when he had a fever. He was a bit of a workaholic (like father like son ?), and always wanted to help. He hated being too sick because then he felt useless.

Your boy just wanted so much to be there for everyone, that he often forgot himself in the process and...yes. 

His first real fever/sickness was punctuated by you constantly trying to get him back into bed.

You almost never even knew Tim was sick !

The boy was so used to taking care of himself, that he tried to handle everything on his own. He even took an appointment to the doctor himself ! But then, before having the chance to go there, he passed out in school, which resulted in a call from his principal that ended in Bruce almost having a heart attack. 

You understood him of course. It wasn’t really a nice feeling to be called out during a business meeting to have someone tell you your son passed out in school ! 

It was just a little flu, but the fever and lack of sleep got the best of him. 

Bruce didn’t even tell anyone where he was going, as he rushed to the school. You met him there, as he was walking out of the building, with a little sleepy Tim in his arms. 

“I can walk, I swear I can walk.” 

The boy was saying, yet his head was on his dad’s shoulder, and the up and down bobble of Bruce’s walk was clearly putting him to sleep. 

Your husband settled your son in the car, and drove home. 

“He was trying to convince me he could finish his school day, and that he had a group work today and didn’t want to let his friends down...”

“Sounds like Tim alright...”

You said, looking back at his sleeping form in the back seat. 

Bruce nods, but you could see something was on his mind. You always knew, when something was on his mind. Brushing a few fingers on his cheeks, you ask : 

“What is it, my Bruce ?” 

His eyes are on the road, of course. But he flicks them quickly to you, and he knows. He knows he can’t lie to you, or get away with telling you half-truth. 

You’ll know, if he’s not really telling you what has been worrying him. He takes a deep breath and, with a small voice says : 

“Is this...my fault ?” 

At first, you don’t understand, and you say : 

“I’m pretty sure it’s because that boy never wears a damn sweater, and we’re in Gotham in the middle of Winter haha.” 

But then...Then you realize what he means. 

He’s talking about the fact that Tim always seem to overcompensate for something. Always seem to want to be there for everyone, forgetting sometimes he’s just a ten years old boy. 

Tim was the only one out of his siblings that became Robin for no personal reason, but just because he loved Batman and wanted to help him. Just because he wanted to help people. 

He didn’t have a tragic backstory (although he unfortunately got one later on...), he didn’t have a reason to become Robin, other than his good nature and really wanting to help...

And Bruce let him. Allowed him to do this. Even after what happened to Jason, he let Tim sneak in your life and become Robin. 

You’d argue that Tim didn’t leave you guys much of a choice, and sort of had a “well I’m gonna help you no matter what, deal with it” sort of attitude. But you understood your husband’s worries. 

He was afraid that he was the one that made him that way. That it was because of him, that Tim worked his health off. 

“Oh, Bruce, my Heart...No. No it’s not your fault. It’s just how this amazing little boy is wired. I actually think that thanks to you, he’s more focused and taken care of. The gods can only imagine what Tim Drake would’ve done if he hadn’t been trained by Batman himself...If you said “no” to him pestering you about becoming your Robin, he would’ve taken it upon himself to go out there anyway. And then...I can only imagine what would’ve happened. So no. No it’s not your fault. It’s just...how he is. He reminds me of you a lot, actually. And I’m so, so glad he managed to convince you...Couldn’t imagine my life without that little one in it. Even if he does give me grief often, overworking like that. But it’s not your fault. It’s not. On the contrary.” 

It took you a while, to convince Bruce he didn’t create Tim the way he sort-of created Dick and Jason. But you managed to, as you always did. You could be very convincing. Plus, the boy helped. It was clear his dedication came from himself mainly, that he was just born this way. 

Too clever and smart for his own good, destined to be a Robin...and maybe a Batman, one day ?

Yes. Tim was the only one that wasn’t in it for himself. For personal reasons. He just wanted to help...

But after that first time he got sick, he understood that sometimes, it was ok to rely on you or his die. That in fact, he would gladly do so ! 

That day, Bruce carried him to his bed, even as the boy protested he was alright. Finally, you’ve had enough and ended up sort of lecturing him...gently. 

“You need to rest, sometimes, ok ? If it’s too much, if you’re too tired, physically AND mentally, you need to take a few steps back...and let others take care of things, and of you. Ok ?” 

“But-”

“No buts Timmy. It’s important. If something bad happens to you because you’ve been ignoring your own body, your own self...What will happen to those you want to help ? In order to continue what you’re doing, you need to take some pauses. Like right now. You are sick. You passed out in school. So...It’s gatorade and crackers time.” 

Gatorade and crackers. 

Tim’s favorite drinks and food. 

Gatorade and crackers. 

Two things that were rarely found in Wayne Manor. You always tried to give healthy balanced meals to your kids. Especially to Tim, who had the opposite of a balanced diet when he came into your lives (the fact he often had to take care of himself as his parents were too busy meant he often chose his own food...and of course he’d rather have ice cream than broccolis). 

But the fact that you were now giving him Gatorade and crackers meant...Meant that Dick was right. When they were sick, you would do anything to make them comfortable. 

Coincidentally though, Gatorade and saltines helped out, when one was sick. 

On that first time he became sick after starting to live with you, Tim found that it was ok, to relax sometimes. That he didn’t have to waste his life away 24/7 for others, and that he could enjoy some down time. 

It only happened when he was sick, to your great dismal. You constantly tried to convince him to take a break (just like you did with Bruce...but although it worked with your husband, especially as he got older, Tim was just very stubborn, and wanted to help too damn much). You even had to trick him into it often. 

So although you hated seeing your kids in any kind of pain, you were almost glad when Tim got sick. Because it meant he would really take care of himself. Or rather, letting you take care of him. 

That first time he got sick, he ended up leaving his bed...only to go cuddle up in yours and Bruce’s, and enjoy some down time. And learn that, it was ok, to take care of himself. 

Hell. You’d hammer this fact in his head if you had to. 

Gatorade and crackers, while watching movies in yours and Bruce’s big bed, was why Tim thought that in the end, being sick wasn’t too bad. 

Extra points if you two were in the bed with him, snuggled up all nice, safe and warm. 

CASSANDRA

Cassandra didn’t like TV, when she was sick. Instead, she liked you reading her stories better. And you’d read to her all day, if need be. Switching from time to time with your husband. 

She had trouble sleeping, even when sick and weak. Listening to your voices telling her all those wonderful stories was soothing beyond measure. 

The first time she fell sick while at Wayne Manor though, her first reflex was to go hide. Because when she used to be sick with the man who called himself her “father”, with David Cain (that scum), he used to get so mad at her. 

As if it was her fault, she became sick. 

So she’d run away. Curl into a ball. Wait for it to pass. And then face him, healthy again. It was easier to confront him when she was ok...So she’d rather run away and face the consequences, rather than stay around him while sick. 

And so, her first instinct was to go hide. 

She went to the attic, and did what she used to do. 

Curled up in a ball, in front of the round window. And wait. Alone. 

It’s Bruce, who found her. He was casually checking the GPS he put on his children. They still thought they got rid of it, the sweet kids...but as if he’d only implant one. He knew it wasn’t really ethical, but after what happened to Jason, he wasn’t willing to take any chances. 

During the day, he would check a few times, and usually during boring office meeting, to see where they were. That day, he saw Cass in the Manor’s attic, and didn’t think much of it. Cass was a curious one, who took it upon herself to explore everything in the house. 

But when he came home, and she was still there, his guts told him something was wrong...He rushed to the attic, and found her. 

And his heart stopped, when he saw her laid on the floor, curled up into a ball, and softly moaning because she had a bad fever. 

She wasn’t asleep, even in this state she fought sleep, afraid to have nightmares (and while having a fever, she couldn’t just wake up to escape them...). 

Bruce carried her out of the attic, holding her tight in his arms, his heart bleeding as he realized why she isolated herself while she needed help. 

People often misjudged Bruce on that matter. Saw him as a cold harsh man. But oh; oh if it was touching his children or you...He would feel so much. Too much, even. He just loved you all to death. 

When he brought her downstairs, and you saw her, you immediately entered “mom mode” and fussed over her, getting everything you needed to make her comfortable...but as it turned out, all she wanted was to feel yours and Bruce’s presence. 

To hear your voice, and feel you were there. 

And so without thinking, you picked up a book and started to read it to her. And you could feel her relax, let her guard down. A rare occasion she would truly let herself be chill. 

The first time Cass got sick while living under your roof, her first instinct was to hide and lick her wounds all by herself. It was to lie on the floor and hope it would pass fast. It was-

The second time she felt under the weather, she immediately went to you. It was early in the morning. And it’s only thanks to Bruce’s amazing reflexes that Cass didn’t throw up all over you two, as he pulled you away from her just in time...To then take care of changing the sheets, while you held your daughter’s hair as she threw up in the master’s bathroom’s toilet. 

And then Bruce went downstairs to take a “barf-bowl”, the one actually, that her mom used to take for him...ah. He always used that one for all the kids. Call it nostalgia. 

The second time Cass got sick while under your care, she didn’t hide. She wasn’t dreading it, even as she got even sicker than the first time. No. 

No because now, she knew she’d always find you so you could take care of her. Ah, and Dick, Jason and Tim gave her many tricks to fake being sick and have you all for herself...

DUKE

Duke was older than any of your kids were when he started to live at the Manor. He was already in his teens. He wasn't a tiny bean like the rest of them, when he came in your family...

And yet. Yet the first time he fell sick, you babied the hell out of him. 

So what if he was sixteen ? Doesn’t mean he couldn’t have all the care a child should have when he wasn’t feeling well. 

And so you were ready to take care of him, when Alfred came to you this morning to tell you “Master Duke” wasn’t feeling well. 

However, when you got to his room and indeed saw he was feverish, he refused to talk to you and just wanted to be alone. 

And then it hits you. 

Duke was sixteen. 

He wasn’t a lost little eight years old boy who had just lost his parents, or never even had parents. He wasn’t a child in dear need of love and cuddles.  

He was sixteen. 

And he wanted HIS mom. 

What happened to his parents was too fresh. 

And they weren’t dead...In a way, seeing them lose their mind with no chance of ever getting better was worst. 

Duke was sixteen. 

And there, sick, all he wanted was to have his mom’s care again.

Yes. Duke’s case was different than all your other children. Because his parents were still there. Because he was older. Because everything was so fresh, at the moment. 

In time, in the coming years, he would come to feel just like his siblings did. But right there, just mere few weeks after he moved to the manor, and mere few days after Bruce helped him find his parents...

Duke was homesick. 

He missed his dad. But he missed his mom even more. Probably for the same reason that your kids loved to have you around so much, when they were sick...

There was no doubt in your mind that Duke’s mom was amazing at taking care of him when he felt ill. She probably had her own tricks, to make him feel better. Tricks that you did not know...And so you asked. 

You simply asked. 

Because you wanted to make him feel better. You wanted to be there for him, even if right now, he didn’t want you around. 

If he truly wanted to be left alone, you’d leave some medicine and leave him be. But your guts were telling you he was just sad, and the sad was translated into him pretending he wanted to be alone. 

Your guts were right. 

Duke wanted his mom. Yes. But he also didn’t want to be alone with his thoughts, right now...He just didn’t want to hurt your feelings. He knew how motherly you could be.  He didn’t want to project his mother on you. He-

“What do you need ?”

You asked, and the answer came to his mind instantly. He spoke before even realizing he was doing it : 

“My mom used to make a perfect drink of warm water, honey, ginger and lemon.”  

And as you tried to recreate his mom’s drink, never quite getting the measurements right (you could see on his face it wasn’t like his mother’s), Duke slowly felt better. 

Because...Because yes. He missed his mom. And the way she took care of him. Especially on sick days. But...It wasn't everywhere that one could find someone who cared so much, that they were willing to spend their entire day trying to get a drink right, right ? 

And when Bruce came home, and asked him if he was “alright champ ?”, Duke realized one thing... 

Yes. He wanted his parents. Yes, he missed them like hell. Yes, his sick days would never be the same...

But he wasn’t alone. As Bruce joined in trying to make the perfect drink of “warm water, honey, ginger and lemon”, Duke came to the realization that his situation wasn’t as desperate as he thought, this morning, when he woke up feeling under the weather, and without his mom to take care of him. 

Because you were still there. And were planning on staying there for a very long time. Of course, you could never replace his mom. Just like you never replaced Dick’s, or Damian’s...You just, became another mom to them. 

And Duke...That first day of being sick in Wayne Manor ? He felt like he was finally willing to let you become his second mom. To let Bruce become a father figure. To have this found family, in this tough times...

Sick days were never the same than when he was a little kid and still had his parents around. 

Duke was sixteen. Growing up wasn’t easy, especially after what he went through. And sick days would never be the same...But it didn’t mean they wouldn’t be nice, as he slowly let you and Bruce, and his newfound siblings, take care of him. 

Yes. To have this found family in this tough times was quite a joy. 

DAMIAN

To the surprise of many, Damian actually didn’t resist too much being taken care of when he first got sick under your roof. 

Damian actually loved being sick, because it meant snuggles time with you, safe and warm under a blanket on the couch, watching his favorite movies. It meant your soothing fingers running in his hair, making him feel peaceful and relaxed. 

It also meant that he’d have you all for himself. 

With five siblings (with a sixth one on the way), it wasn’t always the easiest thing ever, to get his mom only for himself. Yes. He loved to be sick, and babied by you. 

The first time he got a bad fever, a few months after he arrived at the Manor, he dreaded falling ill because...

Well. Because he was raised in the League of Assassins. And being sick, no matter how much, was not considered reason enough to not train. To not do what his grandfather told him to do. 

He used to work through the sickness. Even if he felt like passing out (and he did, a few times, which earned him hours from his sleeping time taken away...). 

So Damian hated being sick. 

Until. Until he became ill for the first time when living with you. 

By that time, you and Bruce had learned how to manage a sick child. And although Bruce still felt physically ill too whenever his children were, he managed nowadays to be somewhat ok and take care of them without wincing. 

It happened not long after Damian started to call you “mom”. He fell asleep while you guys were watching a movie and...it’s what instantly told you something was wrong. 

No matter how bad a movie would be, Damian would NEVER fall asleep in the middle of it. 

Ah, and sure enough, as you checked his temperature you realized he had a bad fever. And so you carried him to his room, tucking him into bed. 

He woke up as you were doing that, and looked at you, utterly surprised. What was going on ? 

“Get some rest buddy, you’ll feel better soon.” 

You said, smiling. And at first, Damian didn’t understand. He had been so conditioned in ignoring his own well being, that he didn't realize something was wrong with him. But then, you laid a hand on his forehead, and said : 

“Ah it doesn’t seem like it’s such a big sickness, I’ll go get you some medicinal tea and...What do you want to eat ? If you’re hungry ? Maybe you’re not, sometimes when I’m sick I just don’t wanna eat anything.”

Sick ? Was he...Sick ? Yes. He was. But it was so mild, that he didn’t even think he needed to rest. Or...Didn’t he ? He was just so used to still work even when sick. 

“What-What about school ?” 

He asked, and he was surprised his voice sounded so weak and tired. Was he always feeling like that when sick ? Yes. But...Something was different. 

And then it hit him. 

“I think it’s ok if you skip a few days’ buddy.”

The difference was that, when he was sick while amongst the League of Assassins, he was always terrified that his grandfather got tired of him and send him hitmen (it happened a lot before, while he was sleeping for example, and it always happened to test him, test if he was ready, and willing to kill and ask questions after). That he didn’t find him useful enough. 

While here, with you, he felt safe. He felt loved. He felt warm. 

And so his body wasn’t in a “fight or flight” state. He was just...sick. As any normal kid would be. 

When with the Al’Ghul, he somehow managed to convince himself to keep going, to work through the pain. And oh, it’s wonders, what the brain can do when you really want to. 

But here. Here he didn’t have to act tough. To keep walking or he’d end up dead. Here. Here he was safe. And loved. 

So he felt the sickness, the fever. He felt it’s true effect. 

“What do sick people eat ?” 

He asked, and at first you didn’t think much of it. You started to tell him Dick loved chicken noodle soup while Tim preferred saltines. Cass would never eat much, neither would Jason, but they’d always say yes to some flat sodas. 

He seemed unsure of what he wanted, so you asked him a simple question : 

“What do you usually eat, when you’re sick ?” 

It was such an innocent question. But it made him almost cry. 

Usually ? 

Usually...

“Well...”

He hesitates, and you sense there’s more to things than you originally thought. Finally, after looking at your encouraging smile, he says : 

“When I was sick before, I still had to train. And then they’d tell me I’m weak.” 

In one sentence, you understand everything. And you could punch yourself for ever thinking that he got taken care of when sick. And then the next second, you hold him tight in your arms, and once again, Damian is surprised. 

But pleased. He had been touched starve most of his life, this was nice. 

“My poor baby...”

He didn’t even complain you called him a baby, and let you hug him. And then...Then you spend time with him, trying to find the perfect ritual to make him feel better while he was sick. 

You had such rituals with everyone. Formed on the day they first got sick. Damian needed his own thing too...

Thus was created the “couch nest”. 

It involved covering the living room’s couch with at LEAST one quilt, then Damian would bring the pillows (and maybe some stuffs animals, or even real ones...Titus often sneaked in) from his bed, and you would tuck him in with one or two more quilts. 

He would then spend the rest of the time watching TV and movies with you. Or with his siblings. Or his dad. 

And it was so comforting, to be wrapped up like that. Almost like laying in a hug. It made him feel like he was perpetually held by you. 

Damian used to hate being sick. Because he hated being weak. 

But this changed. Just like he changed. Thanks to his family. Thanks to you. 

Now, just like Tim, he almost loved, being sick...

************

“This sort of reminds me of that time Dick got his first fever...”

You were thinking about all those terrible, yet sweet days, of your children being sick, as you walked up the stairs to your house, a hand tightly weaved around your husband’s. 

Bruce was holding a sleeping Thomas in one of his arm (the boy was so small he could even fit in one of his hand, really), and felt relaxed. Here. With his son, and his wife, the love of his life. And with the knowledge than when you’d push the door to your house open you’d-

“Father ! Mom ! How is he !?” 

Both you and Bruce quickly put a finger on your lips, and Damian throws his hands on his mouth, regretting his scream. But he was just so worried. 

He couldn’t come with you to the doctor’s office as he had school (plus you were pretty sure he would’ve been 100 times worst than Bruce, trying to stop Leslie by any means necessary), and had been thinking about his little brother’s first shot all day. 

Damian, just like his dad, wasn’t very fond of shots. He hated that his brother (wether the youngest one, or one of the older one, really) had to go through this. 

It was always silly to you, how both Bruce and Damian, who’ve been through much worst than small little shots, hated those so much...Silly, and very cute. 

Damian was looking critically at his brother, checking him silently for any signs of distress, for any “mistakes” Doctor Thompkins would’ve done, and seemed satisfied that the boy was fast asleep in his dad’s arm.

And Bruce...Bruce was smiling. 

He felt so relaxed. And happy.

When you pushed that door, it opened on Damian rushing to the two of you, worried about his little brother. But it also opened on Alfred, who baked some comforting food, and brewed some tea for you, knowing how hard on you this sort of things could be (and yet how you insisted to take your kids to the doctor yourself, and not let Alfred do it, because you wanted to be there for them). 

It opened on Cass smiling, and ruffling Damian’s hair as to reassure him. 

It opened on Tim, who took a small break from his college study to come down and spend some times with his siblings, ready to relax in front of a movie (it was family movie night !). 

It opened on Duke, who’s hands were full of DVDs, and who was excited to try to convince y’all to watch “Ninja and Pirates 6″, or something of the like. 

It opened on Jason, who was smiling in such a way that no one would ever know all the things he went through. And it made Bruce feel all nice and warm inside...even as the little shit mimicked him having to take a shot. Squirming and looking as if he was about to faint. And ah, he hated to admit it, but his boy was impersonating him really well. 

And it opened on Dick. His first kid. The one that, one day when getting sick, was who made Bruce realize what it truly meant to be a dad. The one who knew the best how much he hated  seeing any of his children sick, or getting shots. 

On Dick, who was laughing really hard at Jason’s impersonation, and giving him feedbacks about what to improve to make it even better. 

The door opened on his family. 

And as the ruckus surrounding him woke Thomas, as Damian yelled at Jason and Dick for being so loud, and as Bruce’s eyes fell on you, while you looked at your little tribe with love in your eyes...

Bruce felt relaxed. And so, so, oh so happy.

mha boys/girls saying ,,I love you“ for the first time

including: Denki • Momo • Iida • Todoroki • Bakugou

WARNINGS: none except my tenses and my English

NOTE: requests are open

part2

masterlist

Denki Kaminari

It was after the training. For the first time since months he lost control over his quirk. Of course you brought him to recovery-girl and took care of him.

When he finally came back, you were still sitting in the nursing room next to him with his hand in yours and your head on his shoulder. Your eyes were closed but then you heard his voice. It was nothing more than a whisper. ,,I love you,“ he said with a soft voice.

You looked up to him, to see him looking at his hands. You always knew that he was insecure about his quirk and felt helpless in these situations, but you never left his side and always told him that he’s a great hero.

He realized that he loves you weeks ago but was too scared to tell you anything.

,,I love you too,“ you said with a lovely smile and squeezed his hand softly. Denki finally looked you in the eyes and as he realized that you were serious, he kissed you softly. Trying to show you how much he loves you. To him you are the most perfect human being in existence and he’s thanks the gods evey day for the privilege to know you. He would have never dared to believe that you would even like him and yet, you just said that you love him.

Iida Tenya

Tenya didn’t say it directly. He’s too shy for that.

But one time he gave you a book as a present. It was a random Saturday morning and you recognized the book, because he’s read it multiple times and sometimes he even read it to you.

,,Well, you said you like it. So i got you your own copy,“ he said with a shy smile and rosy cheeks.

As you stated reading it, you found little notes on the pages. Some sentences were underlined others were crossed out. You recognized Tenya‘s handwriting and couldn’t stop smiling. He marked every sentence that reminds him of you or that sounds romantic.

You finished the book a flew days later, late at night. As you finished reading, you saw that the very last page had a fold. There was one last note that Tenya left for you.

,,There are many people who wrote stunning poems about the people they love, but none of these can describe what you make me feel. From the deepest roots of your anger to the way you tuck your hair back. There is nothing that I couldn’t love about you. There is nothing that I wouldn’t do for you. I love you Y/N“

Still in your pyjama and with the book in your hands you run to his room. It took him a while to get up and open. He seemed alerted as he saw you, but you just pulled him into a hug and kissed him.

,,Y/n, what are you doing here? Did something happen?“ he was still concerned until you hold the book up. For a second Tenya stiffened, afraid that you might reject him.

You were still hugging him tightly with you face in his neck. ,,I love you too, Tenya.“

Momo Yaoyozoru

Momo had a plan. She would cook you your favorite meal and after that the two of you would go star gazing. She would tell you that she loves you and kiss you unter the stars.

However.

Just a flew days before your special date, Momo caught the floo. Fever, Headaches and much more. She was laying in bed all day and of course you took care of her.

,,Y/n you really don’t have to stay here. You’ll get sick too,“ she protested as you brought her her favorite tea and sit down.

,,I don’t care. You are sick and my ma always said that you take care of people you love.“ You didn’t really though about the things you said but Momo froze for a second.

...for the people you love...

...you love...

You took care of her...this means you love her. Right?

Momo didn’t know if it was because of the fever or the weird medicine that Midorya brought her.

,,I love you, Y/n!“ Momo shouted as loud as she could and sit up. She had forgotten all of her plans. All she could think about is that you love her and she loves you too!

,,What?“ You asked, still in shook but with a growing smile on your face.

,,I love you.“ she reapeded, this time calmer and soft. But she started doubting herself. Maybe you didn’t mean it that way? Maybe she didn’t hear you correctly.

,,I love you too, Momo,“ you said with the biggest smile on your face and kissed her.

Todoroki Shoto

You and Shoto were laying in bed, listening to music and just relaxing after a hard day. Your head was on his chest and his arms around your waist.

Shoto realized that he loves you just in that moment. You were singing along to some song and were playing with his fingers. He was looking at you and thought that even if the world would end right now, he wouldn’t care because you were with him. He could stay in this position forever.

I love you. He thought and almost said it out loud but there was this little voice in the back of his head. How could you, the most stunning person, love him, when not even his own mother could love him. He was probably unable to be loved.

Maybe I did something bad in my previous life? Maybe all the people who love me are cursed. No...I’m the curse.

He would give all his belongings, yesterday’s and tomorrow’s if it would mean that you could love him. He would even forget his groll against his father.

Shoto stiffened and you noticed that. He seemed so distant and scared. ,,Shoto? Babe are you okay?“ you looked up to him and slowly run your finger over his cheek.

Shoto needed a second to put away his thoughts. ,,Yeah.“

,,You are lying,“ you noted and the hurted look in your eyes, broke his heart. ,,I thought we can talk about everything.“

He looked at you for a flew seconds. He’s already hurting you. ,,W...What would you do, if I’d love you?“ Shoto knows that his question is probably weird but he just wants to know it.

You are quiet for a moment. Processing the question. ,,I would love you back,“ you replied with little smile.

They boy with the red-white hair is speechless. You would love him back. You wouldn’t leave him.

Shoto doesn’t say anything but he smiles and places a gentle kiss on your forehead. He was relaxing again and even though he didn’t say it, you both knew what this question really meant.

Bakugou Katsuki

Just like Momo he wants everything to be perfect but nothing reaches his expectations. He took you out to three different dates last week and every time he almost said it, he got to scared. He can’t stop thinking about it.

The two of you were sitting in the common room, watching some sitcoms. You were sitting next to him with his arms around you. I love you. He thought but it wouldn’t fit. Who wants to hear their first ,,I love you“ on some random couch.

,,Do you wanna go get something to eat later?“ you asked with a sleepy voice and looked up to him.

I love you

You looked so beautiful and it made Katsuki only angry because he couldn’t find a proper way to tell you how much he loves you. ,,Yeah.“

He didn’t say anything else and you just keep watching TV. Until you stood up and left his arms, wich he didn’t like. He loves it when you cuddle, because it calms him down.

,,What are you doing?“ he asked with a grumpy face and held your hand.

,,I promised Mina to help her with her hair. We can get food afterwards. I won’t need long,“ you explained and placed a soft goodbye-kiss on his lips.

,,Okay.“

,,See you later. Bey, Babe,“ you walked around the couch and gave him a last kiss from behind.

,,Bey, love you,“ Katsuki said and regretted it immediately. Not because he didn’t meant it but he didn’t wants to say it like that. It slipped from his mouth and he froze.

,,What?“ you stopped walking as you realized what he just said. With rosy cheeks and a big smile you turned around. He actually said it. You weren’t stupid, of course you knew why he took you on so many dates.

,,Nothing,“ he denied it, hoping he could say it later right, but you were tired of waiting. With a big smile you jumped on the sofa and looked at him. His cheeks were burning and he was afraid to look you in the eyes.

,,Nhnh. You said, that you love me,“ you just love it to tease him. You sit on his lap and grinned at him. You wouldn’t leave him until he said it again.

,,So what? I do.“

,,Say it again,“ you pull a pout and wrapped your arms around his neck. Katsuki couldn’t resist your puppy eyes.

,,I love you,“ he said, still a little grumpy but smiling as you kissed him.

,,I love you too, Katsuki,“ you giggle happy and Katsuki could swear this was the most beautiful sound he ever heard. It’s rare that someone says his name with so much love in their voice.

Bakugou held you as tight as he could.

Yeah. The draw is that two beys (not just changing one part) makes it twice as heavy, and so MUCH harder to beat. I think it was introduced in the anime through Brotherly Bond, the Unabara Brothers. It’s a Literal Power of Friendship tbh. So it evens things out to have THE OTHER SIDE Synchrome their Beys as well, turning the Zero Gravity (because of the Cyclone Bey Stadium, that’s totally different from the Brazil one) into a Synchrome Battle.

Uuuuuuuhx yeah, cuz L-Drago is a special case, and there’s next to no one he would trust to try it with, I’m thinking what it would look like if he did.

…Which, now that you mention left-spinning, I wonder what the Royaltyshipping version would look like. What the Synchrome name would name, cuz the show has it that you also combine the names of the Beys if you’re gonna do a Synchrome. And so there was a bit in the anime between the Unohana brothers about “Orochi Leviathan” vs “Leviation Orochi” XD

…Variares Destructor?

What do you think Synchrome with L-Drago would look like?

Um... is synchrome that Shogun Steel thing where they combine some parts of different beys to make a new one? Cuz if so it would depend on what it's doing synchrome with, I guess. And which version of L-Drago it is. Hopefully it can still rotate left though.

“Kook, you awake?” You giggle slightly, leaning down to peck the small scar indention on his cheek. He’s sound asleep, expression not changing once as you smiled down at him. He had gotten home late last night, and much to your displeasure you didn’t even wake when he finally climbed into bed. After deciding to let him sleep in, you carefully climbed out from underneath his arms before sauntering into the kitchen. Usually, you two make breakfast together both for efficiency as well as creating less mess compared to preparing two separate meals.

However, you find yourself standing alone in the kitchen and staring blankly at the fridge. Despite being half awake, you decide to cook the stereotypical eggs, bacon, and pancakes breakfast. While you’re at it, you snatch the fresh fruits Kook had bought from a local produce market. You can’t help but smile softly, images of Kook peacefully sleeping filling your mind. He’s always doing something, it’s refreshing to see him at peace and relaxed for once. As you’re on the last pancake, you hear the bedroom door click open before promptly being shut once again.

“Babe?” Jungkook mumbled, eyes barely opened as he shuffles into the kitchen. He looks the best like this, long hair messy and frizzy as it drapes into his eyes. Both his shirt and sweatpants are way too baggy for his frame, comfortable and soft as he normally prefers. His feet are clad with fuzzy socks, ones you jokingly bought him for Christmas but he appreciated nonetheless. You like him the most like this, being purely himself and comfortable in his own body.

“Good morning cutie.” You coo slightly, a smile threatening to take over his face which he quickly wipes blank. “What time did you get home last night?” Your tone is neither demanding nor harsh, simply being curious as he looks like he’s died 5 times over. He’s deep in thought now, trying to remember the time he was able to finally get to bed. 

“Um, maybe 4 or 4:30? I don’t remember exactly.” He shrugs it off, watching as you simply nod before taking the food off of the stove. Jungkook’s interest is peaked now, slinking over and wrapping his arms around your waist. He can easily see over your shoulder, but he still feels the need to ask you what you’re doing. “Hm? Making some breakfast for me?” He teases, pretending to pick you up as if he were to move you away from the two plates.

“Yeah, whatever! You wish.” You laugh at him, your laugh being met with a small giggle. You can’t help but smile as you spin around to meet his eyes, dreadfully tired but still awake. Jungkook’s always breathtakingly beautiful, this time no different. “I missed you, you know?” You smile as you reach up, brushing his long hair back and away from his eyes. You can see the little winks at the corners from where he’s smiling.

“That so?” He mumbles, almost too quiet where you wouldn’t have heard him if you weren’t currently pressed up against him. Jungkook can’t help but smirk as you glance around his face, taking in all of the small details you may not notice from afar.

“Yeah, that’s so.” You huff, leaning forward onto your tippy toes to peck his lips in a gentle kiss. You both can’t help but smile, his arms now wrapped tighter around you as he ambushes you with kisses. “Get off of me, you big baby!” You tease, hands planted firmly on his chest before pushing away from him. Despite the valiant effort, your body remains locked in his grip just like before.

“I love you, you know. Sorry for being gone all the time.” He mumbled, allowing you to stand on your own as he begins to sway the both of you. You naturally go along with it, swaying around the kitchen as if you two were in a ballroom. “If you want, I’ll put on a nice pair of skinny jeans just for you.” He says, catching you completely off guard and causing you to stumble while laughing.

“Yeah? If I pay you, will you give me a lap dance while you’re at it?” You giggle, leaning your head back to see the ridiculously huge smile taking over his face as he fights back laughter. “And if I pay extra...can I touch?” You smile, allowing your hand to slip under his shirt to graze the golden skin that hides underneath. You can feel his abs tense underneath your touch, most likely from the cold.

“Uhm…” Jungkook pretends he’s thinking for a moment. “If there’s an audience? Absolutely. If there’s not an audience? Absolutely.” He grins, causing you to laugh as you both stumble back to your starting positions in the kitchen.

“Audience? Maybe I can arrange that.” You smile, grabbing a handful of his ass before quickly running before he could grab you. He lets out an annoyed groan, deciding the unattended food was much easier than chasing you around the huge apartment. You can’t help but laugh to yourself, finally winning one of the little battles you and Jungkook have on the daily. He’s completely uninterested as you step back into the kitchen, plate in his hands, and already eating. “Ugh, starting without me.” You whined, letting your shoulders drop and posture curve.

“Come on babe, go get your plate and sit with me.” He’s almost just as whiny, patting the seat next to him from where he sat at the island. You huff but follow the suggestion anyway. “Yoongi’s working on a bunch of new music, I think if you stop by he’ll show it to you,” Jungkook explains with his mouth full, smiling. He must’ve been in the studio with him last night, you quickly concluded as it seemed he was remembering Yoongi making the music.

You can’t help but ogle at him for a moment, kicking your legs up and resting them over his thighs. “Maybe I’ll stop by later today if he’s there.” You shrug, beginning to eat as Jungkook clicked the tv on in the living room. He let a random show play, something to fill the silence as both of you ate. “I’ll invite the boys over for that lap dance, yeah?” You tease just enough to see the blush spread across his cheeks. You both giggle more to yourselves than anything, imagining the nightmare that would be. You can almost see SeokJin’s face in your head.

“Jimin would be into it,” Jungkook commented, to which you quickly, almost immediately, agreed with. You quickly shook the thought from your head, finishing up your breakfast instead. After, you set all of the dishes in the sink that Jungkook earned himself the absolute pleasure of doing since you cooked. You’d most likely help, but you’ll let him dread doing them for a few hours at least.

“Kook, how are you feeling?” You asked as you laid on the couch, Jungkook still sitting with an empty plate in front of him. You couldn’t see his expression, most likely something menacing coursing through his head at the moment. Your suspicion was confirmed as he walked into the living room, quickly trapping you underneath him while holding your arms down.

“Hm, I’ve missed you so much.” He hummed against your neck, placing open kisses where he could reach. “You have no idea babe.” He whined, allowing your legs to wrap around his waist. You let out a small whimper as he nipped at your jaw, hips unconsciously bucking against his.

“Nooooooo.” You whine, laughing lightly as his head snapped up to meet your eyes. “I just ate, I’m gonna be all bloated and weird.” You continue whining, finally getting your arms free from his grasp. “No fair.”

“Since when do I care, babe, I love you. All of you.” Jungkook laughed as he slides his hand under your top, rubbing your belly in a circle. “And our little food baby.” You can’t help but burst into laughter, smacking his arm away from you as you wipe away tears.

“I love you too. But if you ever say some dumb shit like that again, me and you are heading outside, one on one.” For a moment you pretend as if you were boxing, simulating kicking his ass on your proclaimed one on one fight. You smile, pulling him up before pulling him down to kiss you properly. While Jungkook traced his fingers across your sides, you ran your tongue across his bottom lip as you felt a smile crack.

“Mm, I like the sound of that. I’d win.” He smiled, grinding his hips down in almost a warning. You finally let out an annoyed grunt, wedging your feet in between his thighs and torso in order to shove his knees out from under him. He let out a small “oof” sound as he hits the couch, now laying down while his head rests on your chest.

“I love you, Kook.” You sigh with content as he grinned at you, immediately going to play with his hair as you always do. It’s much longer now, but you suppose that if Kook likes it as much as it seems, so do you.

“I love you too baby.” He smiles, placing a sweet kiss to your collarbone before resting his head. You felt his arms snake around your body, hugging you with a soft smile embedded onto his features. As you both lay there, cuddled up and relaxed, you were completely convinced this would be the man you spend the rest of your life with.

What do you guys think?! I felt like we all really need some extra softness and love right now. Stay safe, love you all <3
