The Equalizer (1985): Season 1 Episode 1 Introduction of Scott McCall played by William Zabka.

[readerinsertz]

Hi! I saw that your requests are open but it didn’t specify if you were comfortable with doing pregnancy fluff.

If you are comfortable with that I’d like to request Kagami or Murasakibara with a pregnant s/o where they feel the baby kick for the first time or something similar

If not that’s fine as well! Thanks!

AN: this got away with me- just a lot of fluff and some kicks

Okay first of all this man is gonna be terrified

Becoming a dad, bringing life into this world? Panik.

He's great at basketball but everything else, he's less good with lol

After a short period of shock and panic, he'll definitely get over it

Maybe playing some basketball with his friends helps get his head the right way

Will not let you do anything

He's your servant for the next 9 months

Makes it very well known that you're not to hesitate if you want anything

More than happy to run to a shop at 2am to buy something for you

But adores when you ask for his home cooking

Probably will bulk cook and then freeze them when he's got the time for when baby arrives

He assembles pretty much all the stuff in the nursery although he doesn't follow the instructions and ends up getting it wrong so you have to also help

Will eventually accept your help but he's holding everything, bringing everything to you, setting everything up. You try to put up a mobile which weighs nothing but he sees you on tip-toes and is moving before he realises to stop you

When you get a bit further along, he calms down a bit

Always always ALWAYS has a hand on you in some way- hand on your thigh, arm around your shoulders or waist

Gets a bit cocky because everyone KNOWS he made you pregnant

Puffs his chest out when men glance at you two and then immediately turns into a teddy bear when you turn and ask him something mundane

Takes you to all your appointments, arranges all the dates and times for you- all you have to do is show up lol

Researches on the internet and brings questions to the doctor

Some are reasonable like what food should he make for you, what vitamins are helpful, sleep positions?

Also, will ask completely straight-faced about other things like your mucus plug

I feel like he doesn't even think to ask about doing anything remotely sexual with you- he's so focused on your well being. You'll have to be the one to ask the doctor

Also very attentive and actually takes notes when you go to those baby classes- like this man studies. He puts more effort than any school exam

Probably will call your bump his basketball

Is soooo overjoyed when in the later weeks, you paint the bump as a basketball

I did some research and the average basketball has a radius of 38cm and the average bump is like 30cm so maybe your bump won't be the same size as an actual basketball but Kagami will continue to measure its growth

"It's half the size of a basketball!" "It's almost the size of one!"

Only when he's more confident will he lightly pat your bump like he's dribbling a basketball

You go with him to training just once. He doesn't trust that the basketball won't accidentally be sent to where you're sitting on the bench.

It's cute until you have this 190+cm man hovering around you like that Spongebob caveman meme constantly. Everyone agrees it's better if you don't come again

Definitely does that thing where he cradles and holds your bump up for you from behind- researched how to help his partner and did it and you were !!!! please continue

Anyway, he always splays his large hand over your bump-it's comforting to feel both you and your child under his palm

During one of these, the baby kicks whilst he's staring at the TV

Whips his head over to look at you, incredulous and asking if you felt that too

Pulls your shirt up to examine your belly and tickles the area where baby had kicked to try and get them to do it again

It's another source of closeness- you're carrying the baby so you're connected 24/7 for 9 months but he only gets those moments to be physically close to baby so yea he's gonna try to get his baby to kick as much as possible

Like those gifs where the baby's hand appears bulging out of the skin? loooooves it

Will start scolding the baby when they're kicking too much

"You're not a footballer/soccer player!" will then immediately go against his words and tell you regardless of what sport they're gonna play, if any, he'll support them no matter

You get a special maternity shirt with his number and name on it, he's elated when he sees it

Will probably buy a matching set for you him and baby

You probably steal all his shirts- they're big enough to cover your bump and they're comfy and smell like him

He will purposefully buy more so you can "steal" them

Would make a bump cast and then paint it the colour of a basketball and put it with all his other trophies

Murasakibara is lot more calm than Kagami

"You're pregnant? nice."

Probably leaves you wondering if he actually knows what's going on

So takes you by surprise when he asks if you should be eating a coffee flavoured doughnut

You get upset and mad from the pregnancy hormones thinking he's calling you fat

Will have to pull you into his arms and stroke your hair to comfort you and tell you that doctors recommend no more than 2 cups of coffee and that you've already had your allotted coffee earlier

That makes you cry more because you're 1) guilty for doubting him and 2) touched he's actually researching stuff

I feel like he'll probably stop you from eating too many bad things like sweets and chocolate so you and baby are healthy. But at the same time, I think when he sees you struggling or not looking happy he'll give you some to cheer you up cuz that cheers him up

Will love to take naps with you- pulls you back into the bed and tells you you need your rest

Moves so he's facing your bump and then complains to it about you trying to leave

Will be eating one of his snacks and then halfway, will offer it to your bump

You're just like Atsushi wtf?

I think he'll be a bit more grumpy than Kagami if you ask him for something at 2am- will grumble but drag himself out of bed. When he comes back he has what you asked for but also other food cravings that he knows you'll want after your pickle-only burger

If you're struggling with not eating sweet things he will go on a diet with you too. This man shows his love through acts of service

Once again his hand is MASSIVE so yea he will be able to wrap his palm around your bump completely

Like no matter how big you get, he will make you feel small

The first time he feels the baby kick he doesn't react. Takes a few seconds to process what just happened

"Huh? Someone kicked me," he pouts

He goes so soft when he realises- there's so much love and adoration on his face as he looks down at your belly

Will whisper a quite "hi"

After a while, he'll complain about the kicks

"Why do they like kicking me? No fair!

Shopping for baby things is pretty intense. They're so small and he's so big

Has a mini panic at how small his baby is going to be- he's scared that he's gonna hurt his child or he's gonna break the toys

With how big he is, you assure him you'll be giving birth to a big baby

Holds up the tiny outfits with a look of awe and amazement that humans can be that small

Definitely buys a fruit each week the same size as your baby to track the growth

Sometimes he has to buy in bulk and you're like what are we gonna do with a kilogram of raisins!

He bakes things with them- feels a bit weird eating the raisin he's been busy all week claiming was his baby but it becomes a tradition you grow to look forward to

In the first two trimesters, he's just about willing to travel to countries close by to play but only for a week and only the closest

The final trimester it's almost impossible for him to go and play even if it's in Japan just in a city that's a few hours away

He'll only go if you're with him and then he fusses over you for the entire journey

Will always point at you when he does something cool in the match

Probably will run his hands down his stomach and over an imaginary bump to dedicate that move to your baby

Will unironically put a basketball under his shirt to see what it's like

Aomine tells him he forgot boobs so then he puts some oranges down as well.

Complains when the oranges fall and calls you

"My orange-boobs are too small. They fall!" .... "Your what, Atsushi?"

Lets you clingfilm a watermelon to his stomach and idk what sort of fruit for boobs

He's okay with it for like 5 minutes and then complains about the weight

The fucker will sit down with a big sigh, turns to you and totally serious will go "eugh, pregnancy, amirite?"

So he's bad at handling small things. When you get too big to bend over and put your shoes on and tie the laces, he does try! But it's too fiddley so he buys you multiple velcro shoes

They make you feel like an old woman.... but they are convenient, you'll begrudgingly admit

You find him using your bump cast as a container for his snacks

Saw a post about you wanting welcome home requests. Dont know how old it is but.

What would wally be like as a CG???

Feb,20,2024

Caregiver Wally Darling!

A/N: OMG YAY!!! I already have a shorter more general version of this on my blog, so I’m gonna repeat myself a bit here, but that’s okay because I love this man and I really wanna talk about him.

He is such a good caregiver, I think. Like…he struggles a bit at first but he eventually gets the hang of it and does really well!

I mean. He is quite literally the host of a children’s TV show. He knows how to take care of and entertain kids.

He likes taking you out on little play dates and adventures. One of his favorite things to do is take you to the park, and you often see Julie and Sally there, so you play with them a lot. :)

He paints you a lot. You’re his muse. ❤️

Speaking of painting, if you’re down for it, he’d be happy to paint with you! Finger paint, watercolor, anything! And if not, that’s okay too! He’s fine with just using you as inspiration.

He actually made a deco paci for you one time (if you use pacifiers)! It was for your birthday. You have loved and cherished it ever since.

If you ever draw or color something for him, it immediately gets hung up on the fridge or on a wall somewhere.

He does better with calmer littles. If you’re like me and you get very sleepy randomly or very easy, he has no problem with cuddling you while you sleep if you want. He doesn’t try to sleep with you; because he can’t, and his “I’m sleeping” chant gets a lil annoying.

Barnaby is Wally’s go to babysitter, as you probably expected. Barnaby is basically your uncle. He’s the cool, fun uncle who loads you up on sugar before sending you back to your parents. And that is exactly what he does!

He is VERY cautious and protective. He baby proofs the hell out of everything.

He also does most things for you. You need to tie your shoes? He’s got it! Wanna refill your sippy cup or your bottle? That’s his job, sweetheart, don’t worry about it.

He will love any nickname you give him, “dad/daddy/dada”, “papa”, “baba”, etc.

He loves them all.

He canonically goes limp when you hug him but I’d like to think that he eventually gets the hang of it and becomes a really good cuddler. 😭

He has so much apple juice. And apples in general. Does not understand apple pie or anything with apple filling in it, though…where are the apples…where did they go?? 😥

His voice is super monotone and his face kinda is too, so he actually does super well with autistic littles. Cuz like. He gets it. Also I know Wally isn’t CANONICALLY autistic but. Erm. Yeah he is. In my mind he absolutely is.

He doesn’t do too well with tantrums. He’ll try his best to calm you down, but if that doesn’t work, he usually has to call Barnaby for help. He always feels so bad, though. He’s your caregiver, he’s supposed to know how to help…

All in all, 10/10 caregiver. Would recommend.

[luvfy0dor]

Henlo

The dad Fyodor anon

Descending from the sky with a request on this fine…. Well it’s night technically but

Ok you get it

You said you write modern AU’s

I have a few in my brain but rn I’m gonna go with the clearest one

You know the kind of stuff I always request

How about Dazai modern au as a young father?

Just him being young (maybe like early 20’s or 19 or something but young, you can pick) and he has a partner. But his partner had become pregnant unexpectedly. And after a really rough and confusing 6 or 7 months, they eventually settle on staying together and his partner wanting to see the pregnancy through (tho they don’t know if they’re gonna keep the child)

Tho ultimately, when the child is born, and Dazai gets to actually hold them, it’s different. And they do decide to keep the child

So basically that happening and Dazai trying to get his life on track so he’s not an absolutely awful father

You can choose if the port mafia is still a thing in this or not if you want more drama

And if Dazai is trying to either get out or work more to be more responsible

And if he turns to Oda for help. And if he was originally considering asking Oda to raise the child because he’s afraid he couldn’t

Essentially just young dad Dazai trying his best

Btw if you’re interested in other kinds of AU requests just lemme know. And maybe I got some Fyodor ones in my brain….. 👀

Happy late holidays friend

“We are Young and We Don't Care ♡⁠˖” - Dad!Dazai x GN!Reader ੈ✩‧₊˚

Warnings; Minimally proofread, Modern AU, reader is afab but gender neutral

Description; Dazai accidentally knocked up his partner, and even hours before the kid is born it's still a mystery whether or not him and his partner will keep it. But things can change, even within seconds.

A/n; Welcome back!!! This ask is cute, I hope I did it justice! Also feel free to drop the new Fyodor ideas ASAP please and thank you 😞🙏💯 Happy late holidays!!

★ Dazais immediate first thought would be to hand over the child to Oda, unsure of his fatherly abilities

★ The reality of fatherhood actually hits him when he holds the baby for the first time and he sobs.

ೃ⁀➷

D/n - Daughters Name

Dazai sat at the bar, swirling the liquid in his glass around. Oda sat next to him, fidgeting with a scrap of paper he found in his pocket earlier that day. "So, what'd you wanna talk about?" He asks Dazai with a cocked eyebrow. "Don't tell me you're runnin' from responsibility again." Oda says, only half serious. Dazai sighs and chuckles quietly, turning to look at Oda. "You know me really well. My partner is pregnant, and I wanted to know if you could..." He trails off at the end, feeling a bit of guilt weighing on his heart. "Take it?" Oda finishes Dazais sentence, being met with a nod from the brunette man. "Yeah. I don't think that I'm ready to be a father, and I'm not leaving my partner, that would be shitty." His gaze wanders towards the windows, the sills covered in a thin veil of glistening snow while flakes fall from the clouds overhead.

"And why is that?" Oda turns his body to face his companion better while resting his head against his fist. "C'mon, you know I'm just not father material. I don't know how to take care of a kid, nor do I know how to bond with it." He tells. His right hand rests on his knee while the other grasps the short whiskey glass by the rim, the orange light from the candles cascading an incandescent glow onto his skin. His cheeks and nose are still slightly red from being exposed to the cold, winter chill of the dark city even though he had gotten inside five minutes ago. "You just sound unwilling to learn, if you ask me." Oda replies. His hand moves from his cheek to run his fingers through his shirt, ginger hair while his statement makes Dazai reflect for a moment. "I don't think I'm able to learn." Oda shakes his head immediately. "You're always able to learn. You just don't want to. I can teach you how to take care of a child, even if you'd still rather hand it over to me." He says, his stubble slightly pricking the back of his hand before he takes a sip of his drink. Dazai sighs with his shoulders slumped, but he eventually nods in agreement. His stubborn personality has a tendency to soften whenever it came to Oda.

Oda started giving Dazai lessons whenever he was able to on how to deal with children, especially newborns. He taught Dazai how to how to hold them correctly and how to swaddle them, amongst many other essential skills for having a child. It took Dazai a couple hundred tries to get the swaddling down, but he was a natural at the multi-tasking part. He could carry around one of Oda's kids in one arm and make a bottle with the other without problem. He was also pretty good with making children laugh, even without trying. Oda taught him how to bathe and change a newborn and told him when the child could have things other than formula or breast milk. He was doing a real good job at shaping Dazai up into a, at the very least, prepared father. Although with these acquired skills, he still had his doubts and second thoughts.

Even as he's sitting in the hospital room with you and all the medical staff, his stomach continues to turn with indecision. He's stuck in a daydream, to keep the child or not to keep the child, that was his only question in the moment. He was so far gone that he barely registered the sound of cries coming from the newborn, but when he did he immediately snapped back into reality. His eyes darted around the room looking for the baby until they landed on her, laying on your chest. Your smile was contagious and Dazai couldn't help but unexpectedly choke up at the sight of the baby. The way you softly shushed her and pet her head made his heart swell. He immediately stood up and reached over to caress her as well, biting back his tears of happiness. He didn't understand how something he considered giving away made him feel this way, so happy.

When the nurses took the baby for the physical assessment, he frowned and reached for your hand. "We're keeping her, I don't want to give her way." Dazai says to you, kissing your forehead. "You did so good." He mumbles against your skin. You thank him and lean back, exhaustion overcoming you. "Good, I'm happy you want to keep her, too." A small smile makes its way to your face. He returns it and stands with you while you wait for the nurses to bring the little girl back. His hand rests on your shoulder, rubbing circles into your skin with his thumbs. His eyes light up like no other when he sees the nurse bring your baby back and he almost immediately reaches his arms out to pick her up and take her. His breath hitches and he stares at her sleeping form, unaware of the tears in his eyes until one falls down his face and onto d/n's baby blanket. He bites his lip once again, making them all the rosier as he sniffles and leans down to kiss her forehead.

The sight makes your heart flutter; you really did think Dazai would want to give her away, but he clearly changed his mind. An even bigger smile creeps onto your face when you hear him whispering to her, his dark brown bangs falling infront of his face. "I love you so much! I'm so glad to have you here, you're gonna be daddy's little partner in crime, huh?" You couldn't help but giggle with happiness. You knew neither you nor Dazai would be the perfect parents, but he really seemed like he was gonna try his damnedest for you; for your daughter.

[all-pacas]

i wanna know your thoughts on cameron’s intense fear of becoming hateful. it seems consistent across her time on the show. why is she so paranoid about it??? in cursed she tells chase that “all that hate… it’s toxic” ma’am what is going on with you.

there are two very different ways i can take this question because i think about it all the time: cameron's stubborn insistence that the world play fair even though she absolutely knows it does not, even though she breaks her own heart time and time and time again. it's kind of the best thing about cameron and the worst, because she refuse to give in to cynicism and hopelessness even as it actively destroys her and makes her miserable. she's so miserable, too. she's a deeply unhappy person in so many ways. she clings to her own suffering out of a weird sense of justice: people should be remembered, people should feel pain, the world should be fair. it's insane to me.

but the other way i want to take it is: what the hell is cameron's family like. everything we know about them is that it's fine, her family is fine, but. there's something there, right? house suggests in s1 that marrying her Dead Husband was a symptom, not the disease, that she was already messed up when it happened, and she's so consistently weird about parents: refusing to believe chase's dad is really That Bad and trying to get them to reconcile, but also doing the same thing a year later with house's parents: how can he not want to see them? how can they not be proud of him? she never learned of the details of house's experiences with abuse, and in a way that's very good and in a way that's too bad, because i'm honestly not sure how she'd react.

cameron isn't naive, not in this way. and yet she has this blind spot. she cannot believe a parent would not love their child. she cannot believe a son would hate his father. she asks chase what rowan did, and of course she knows sexual abuse is bad, physical abuse is bad — she is not an idiot — but rowan seems pleasant. house's parents seem pleasant. if rowan didn't beat chase, then how bad could he be?

and it does tie in to her willful… her willful naivety, let's call it. her insistence the world should be good and fair, that people should be mourned, that people shouldn't be alone. cameron really, truly believes that, more than her martyr complex, more than her savior complex: people should not be alone. and to me that suggests a deep fucking well of loneliness, actually. a deep experience with being alone. she married her husband because she thought he had no one else. she sits in a room with a dying man and suffers because it's his wish. she refuses to believe a parent couldn't or wouldn't love their child, because that's unfair, sure. because that isn't right, sure. but also because she doesn't seem to understand it is possible.

the only things we know about her family are a) she has an older brother, b) they're from the mid-west, and c) her dad yelled at her mom during christmas one year, and cameron jumped in and got him to stop. and it's so tempting to read the last one as a Big Clue (it's certainly telling in its own way), but even that doesn't fit. cameron's always willing to fight for others, she's always surprisingly punchy and happy to throw down in defense of her beliefs or those she thinks needs it — marrying her dead husband is another form of fighting for her beliefs, honestly — but. when it comes to rowan chase and john house she doesn't get it.

she's (rightfully) horrified in skin deep when she finds out the patient has suffered abuse from her father. again, she's not naive. but she doesn't understand estrangement, she doesn't understand giving up, that chase and house really and truly have, that anyone ever could. and so i guess the ultimate irony is that she is the character who eventually does. who estranges herself from chase and house and leaves the entire show. but for real. what was her childhood like. what drove her to this. what the hell is her family really like.

Can we get Platonic Headcanons for Moxxie and Millie becoming parental figures to male or gn reader? So reader is like, 18 or 19, and their parents never showed them proper affection, I think this could be fun! Thanks for your time!

Oh so essentially M&M adopt reader, okay then yeah this sounds cute. I'll go GN reader cause if that's an option or it's not specified I always do that so anyone reading can essentially choose the gender they like/identify as ^^

Moxxie and Millie Adopting Teenage Reader who had bad parents.

Both have... not perfect parents, especially Moxxie so they more then get it and sympathize immeditately once they learn about your situation.

It start out with them offering to let you stay with them, when you just don't feel like going home to your indifferent parents. They insist on it if you try to say no. They only really have a couch to spare but they still try their best to accomadate you, blankets, pillows, even a stuffed animal if you need it.

This also leads to them bringing you to the office, mainly cause you don't want to be alone all day and the like. They don't mind bringing you, just tell you to be aware of Loona's grumpy nature and Blitz's mood swings. Though you actually hit it off with Loona, both enjoying just chilling round the office and sharing memes mostly.

It isn't until Blitz notices and goes "Mox, Mils your kid seems pretty close with Loonie it seems" and they just blank out at the idea, realizing they did kinda adopt you, heck you kinda moved in with them at this point, and they see you as their responsibility too.

There unsure if you see it the same way, just keep addressing you normally.

They, especially Millie include you in everything they can, pulling you in for team hugs and selfies, your part of family game night and stuff that Blitz does for the company.

If you decide to join the company, they'd likely try to push you into a safer manergerial part of the company, but if you insist on going out into the field with them, they will train you WELL, like weeks before they approve you to go out, but there not pushy, you learn at your own pace and they respect that.

They will also go with you on most missions to start just to keep an eye on you and to keep you safe.

Then, IT happens. After you come back from a mission or something, Moxxie asks you if you did a few things, cleaning weapons, reloading all that and you get exasperated and go "Yes Dad, I did all of those, It's fine." and Moxxie's eyes go wide before they start watering and he ducks into a hallway so you don't see him cry tears of joy at that.

Blitz sees, calling him soft jokingly before Loona calls out "Hey Dad! is Moxxie alright?" so he starts crying happily and the happy dads just hug eachother tightly as they cry

Millie is a lot more calm the first time you call her Mom, it's after a messy mission and after you finish cleaning up you hug her and say "I love you Mom" She sniffles a little but keeps her composure and hugs you back tightly "Love you too kid"

They do eventually officially adopt you, happy to have you legally and wanting to see you grow up and become the great person they know you'll be. And also have you along the ride of wacky and crazy hijinks there lives are.

Okay there you go, actually pretty proud of this one and hope I got the wholesomeness good, I really liked this. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for asking!

For ficlet Friday- 1 for firstprince 💕

(and if you think you want to…maybe 6 for taynick? 👀🫶)

HOLY SHIT THIS TOOK ME ALL NIGHT

1. The truth is… : Firstprince

Henry laughs a little when Alex finally tells him about the J14 magazine, the object of his confession sitting on the bed in their room in the lake house, still glossy with baby Henry’s photo after all these years. He was kind of planning on taking this secret to the grave. Okay fine, maybe not to the grave, he can’t do that to Henry. He’ll tell him eventually. Maybe after marriage though? But when he opened his suitcase during their weekend vacation in his dad’s lake house just to see the magazine that started it all lying on top of his packed clothes, with a post-it note in June’s handwriting “You’re Welcome :P”, and for Henry to walk in just to see Alex trying to figure out how to deal with the cursed magazine, scrambling to hide it behind his back, cheeks red and flustered, well, the explanation is demanded much sooner than he’d like to. So Alex flips open to the page with the first sight of Henry he’s ever seen, tracing over the faint grease marks left by his fingers throughout the year, and tells his side of the story, of being to oddly entranced by the little prince smiling on the page, sneaking into June’s room just to touch his hair, wondering how it would feel like underneath his fingertips, soft, golden locks twirled around his chocolate skin. The truth is, it felt kind of embarrassing to tell Henry that he has actually, subconsciously beaten Henry in the “who fell for the other first” competition. After all, he was kind of the person who started their initially antagonistic relationship, and he was the one who was too stubborn to admit that he liked talking to Henry when they were becoming tentative friends. He was also the one to tease Henry when his prince admitted he’s been in love with him since the day they met. But after he stammers through his confession, Henry just giggles, the sweet private smile when his ducks his chin. The last of the day’s sun shines through and highlights his hair, a golden crown, on the world’s most beautiful prince. Light pink dusts his cheeks, light sparkles in his eyes, and Alex is in love again. And all the stupid worry dissipates. The truth is, it doesn’t really matter who fell first. They’re here now, and no matter what they will always find their way towards each other. And that’s the universal constant.

6. Everything is telling them not to. : Taynick

“This is a dangerous idea.” Nicholas whispers.   “I know.” Taylor answers back. There are a million reasons why this is a bad idea. He hasn’t dated in years, and for a good reason, both emotion-wise and practicality-wise. His career is finally taking off in a direction he can be happy and even proud of, he’s been taking project after project, his schedule is filled to the brink… and that’s just the list of his personal concerns. There’s the issue of co-workers getting together, the issue of their personal relationship getting in the way of this production, the issue of neither of them being in a position where they can come out without their career being affected… And what happens if this doesn’t work, the memory of a beautiful summer tainted with the blood of a broken heart. Everything is telling them not to. Except their hearts. He didn’t expect to like Taylor this much when he took this project, or when he met Taylor in their chemistry test, or they were rehearsing intimate scenes, limbs tangled up while they tried not to laugh at their compromising positions. Truthfully, he really did see an immediate friend in Taylor. He didn’t expect to see more. It’s getting simultaneously harder yet clearer to draw the line between Henry and himself. Taylor is charming, and charismatic, and kind. That’s lovely, but that’s nothing new that Nick hasn’t realised as a friend. But Taylor being protective of him, being so caring and careful with him; that’s new. It’s different. And it’s… it’s making his heart beat faster and something warm in chest expand. He doesn’t know if it’s some sort of character bleed, of Alex’s attitude towards Henry creeping into Taylor. But a month into shooting, Taylor starts remember his breakfast orders, bringing his latte to set for him. During emotional-challenging scenes, he checks on him after every take and hugs him after they wrap, long arms around him, pressing him into his broad chest. He picks up the phone no more than three rings when Nick is rolling around on his bed, plagued by insomnia, It’s… nice. It’s not that Taylor’s pampering or babying him or anything, nothing of the sort, but it’s very endearing. And safe. There’s something so comforting about the way he and Taylor just connects and clicks, like a puzzle piece in the tapestry that makes him up finally finding its match to create another special thing. He can feel it, it’s precious, and rare, and miraculously beautiful. And Taylor can feel it too. Seeing as earlier today, two weeks before they wrap, he asked Nick for a dinner date to talk things out, figure out what are they going to do with this magnetic attraction.   Which is where they are now. “I’m in if you are.” Taylor says, his voice steadier than ever, and despite everything, Nick feels so, so safe, with his hands in Taylor’s larger ones, warm and loving. “We’ll figure this out. Step by step. Just like they did.” He faintly wonders if, in some weird, twisted arrangement of fate, they’re some sort of reincarnation of Alex and Henry, always tied by a red string of fate in every universe, in every name and identity. But regardless of whatever unknown forces are at play, right now, he’s Nicholas Galitzine, he’s an actor, he really likes his co-star, and he really, really wants to try this out. “I’m in.” Taylor smiles, brighter than a million suns. “Then let’s fucking do this, baby.”

Yeah I feel like I lost it at the end with the Taynick one... but hopefully this is okay?

Gonna write the rest of the prompts I got in the morning, night y'all

Prompt List

As bummed as I was at the time of reading it, I'm actually glad that "Blue Moon" had kind of a "cliffhanger" ending. Now, I and everyone else who reads it can project whatever happy ending we want on to it. For example, Carlisle talks Bella into naming their kid something unique but not overwhelmingly stupid and they fall in love. Rosalie and Emmett manage to overcome their issues and eventually join Carlisle and Bella in Volterra because "we're a family, goddammit and we should be together!" The birth goes as well as can be expected and Bella doesn't leave the planet after turning. She, with help from her family, becomes a pretty good mom and Carlisle is an amazing dad. Alice and Jasper keep in contact at a distance because of the Volturi and go searching for other hybrids. Aro becomes the baby's weird uncle and tells the kid all of his weird, interesting stories. At Aro's insistence, Bella develops her power and lowers her shield for him temporarily, causing him to go searching for the nearest vampire therapist. Emmett, I imagine becomes friends with Felix and Demetri while Rosalie gets along with Renata surprisingly well. They both adore the kid and since this is a world where Rosalie works on her issues, she doesn't get weird and project onto the baby. Bella and Carlisle get to have (probably?) good sex with someone they actually love and have commitment ceremony instead of a traditional wedding that's just them and the coven with Aro officiating. Alice and Jasper bring back Nahuel and everyone is relieved to know that the weird alien baby that they love should be alright. Nahuel's sisters get saved, probably by a delegation of Felix and a few of the scary-looking guards intimidating Joham into letting them leave if they want and they go live with him and Huilen and don't get pimped out by their father. And since "Breaking Dawn" doesn't happen, Demetri hears about Benjamin and Tia from Carlisle and immediately heads down to Egypt to tell them that Chelsea didn't make him leave and that while Benjamin has an interesting power, he's not someone Aro is desperate to have. This leads to a TLTIC situation where Tia and Benjamin decide to leave with Demetri and he brings them back to Volterra. Tia befriends Heidi, Benjamin becomes the baby's cool cousin, and Demetri becomes a very confused but protective big brother to them both. The twins are disappointed that the baby's not a squid but enjoy spending time with it regardless. Edward probably goes full Edward and gets executed by Caius but everyone knew it was bound to happen so they just get closer instead of falling apart. Esme just goes to the Denali and ends up becoming their MomBot, which is probably the happiest ending she's going to get. Alice and Jasper break up but it's on good terms and they're still part of the family. Jasper leans on Carlisle the most to maintain the diet and Carlisle, in turn, becomes closer to Jasper as a brother than as a "father." Bella finally talks to both Rosalie and Jasper without Edward interfering and realizes that they both like her just fine and develops a good friendship with them both. Alice's visions are stunted so she's kind of forced to be an actual person and see her family as actual people. She ends up with mixed results but everyone appreciates that she's trying. Her friendship with Bella, especially, isn't the same but that's not a bad thing for either of them. I imagine she'd get along pretty well with Corin. Emmett changes the least but he does start defending Rosalie more (something that's actually in the story) and he decides to take his job as "fun uncle" very seriously. Obviously they can't do the high school thing even after the observation period is done but they have each other, a support system in Volterra if they need it, they can wear whatever clothes they want, and they all live decently ever after. Anyway, it's a really sweet story with potential for a happy ending that you don't usually give the characters and I really liked it.

Blue Moon

Thank you, anon

(Not sure how I feel about "I've decided I like your ending because you didn't get a chance to make it sad")

Lonestar Finale

MY SHAYLA! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!

Okay so I know everyone and their mothers hates Owen, and I get it if he ain't the character for you and how he just has to be central to everything (he is the protagonist of the show, unlike not really having one in the OG show), BUT I do love him and TK so them being together when the meteor landed hit me right in my feels. I feel like they've well and truly lost the true connection they had in season 1, which would be fine with all the plot that has happened but the characters talk about it like they are back to normal even though the scenes they have prove that wrong. Also ofc bro wasn't going to die, are you kidding? It's Owen Strand.

I love Tommy but I feel like making her live for a happy ending is kind of a cop out. I mean, I'm happy she's alive but sometimes you need that bittersweet feeling, you know? Giving her the whole cancer arc and seeing Charles just to go 'nah she's fine' is crazy to me. If they knew they wanted her alive at the end, they should have wrote a better character arc for her season instead of giving us another cancer scare.

I'm not even gonna talk about Mateo's deportation stuff because it genuinely feels like such a minority character cop out to go 'OF COURSE THEY ARE GONNA HAVE A DEPORTATION SCARE'. Sure, I think it's important to have representation of such an important and scary thing that happens to real people, but it should have been for an episode and not just a random arc to give to Mateo. Not every mexican character has to have a deportation scare. (also literally having this during the scariest time for people in america with the ICE raids is just insane to me)

Nancy was my paramedic captain queen. Honestly don't know much of what she did because I feel like the writers don't care about her story and just how she ties into everyone else's story.

I'm so very very very happy that Judd became captain because he deserves it and I love him to bits. Having Grace not here was just a stab to the heart but if the actress didn't wanna come back, then there isn't much we can do but headcanon. Also where the fuck was Wyatt like half the season? I haven't heard anything about him.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't even know anything about Paul and Marjan from this season other than Marjan getting married which seems insane to me after the whole decades old fiance thing. I think Paul had like a rookie or something he was training?

Tarlos my Tarlos. I love Carlos angst. I love TK Strand. I love the finale of them and Jonah being a family unit. I will have a better run down when I can actually watch the show myself instead of reading articles and tiktoks, but I feel like they lacked alot of 'we are married and even though Carlos is losing his shit, we are happy together'. I think everyone immediately knew when the problem with adopting Jonah came that TK was gonna quit his job. There was absolutely no way Carlos becomes a Texas Ranger like his Dad and avenges his father's death only for him to quit to be a father (something that yes, he eventually wants, but doesn't want it as badly as TK does).

THE METEOR. I DO NOT CARE FOR YOUR APOCALYPTIC JUMPSCARE. I DO NOT CARE FOR THE METEOR. There are 10 billion other things they could do but they decided to do 'BYE BYE TEXAS- oh wait nah, you're fine.'

I'm sad this season's script was shit. I'm sad that everything was rushed because of the cancellation. I'm sad Lonestar is ending because I love most of the characters. Will this still be a comfort show for me because I've gained an appreciation for gay firefighters? Of course. Do I want the 126 (totally didn't accidentally write 118 here . . .) to do everything ever and be happy for the end of time? Absolutely. Do I wave Owen Strand off to go suck his own dick in New York with a smile? With the glee of seeing your enemy eat shit.

All and all, I will miss this show. And I hope we get to see the actors thrive in either reprise roles in spin-offs and the OG show or completely new places. The chemistry of the cast is undeniable and I'm so sad to see them part but I look forward to their futures.

Hello!

I LOVE your story!!! CJ having healing Ninpo is so genius and it’s making my brain run wild with possibilities!

Are there any tidbits you’d like to share about the au? Also could you possibly explain what happened with CJ aging due to Ninpo (in the latest update)?

(No need to answer any of the questions if you do not want to)

AWESOME COMIC, AWESOME STORY, AWESOME ART!!! I can’t wait to see more!!!

Hope you have a great day ^-^

BDJDHDHDHDHD Aww dude stop you have no idea how happy this makes me 😭 I’m so so so happy you love my au!! 💗💗💗 I love the concept of Casey with healing powers! He’s has a temper but I still think suits him so well given how protective he is as a person ahah!! And I’m so glad there are ppl out there who agree with me too! But Hehe yesss join me join me in my healer!Cj brain worms hehehe

.

Hmm since you asked bout the aging(and that’s a little complicated) I’ll answer that first. So I can’t go into too much detail cuz that will spoilers for a comic and some other art that will explain everything! ..Maybe😂 But I will say this. Cj unlocked his Ninpo when he was 10 he was fine, he was aging normally. Till a certain incident happened when he was 11 and well.. we all know what happened next, freshly baked trauma and he aged a couple years forward overnight plus some extra long term injuries (that I will go into later).

The good news is that as long as he doesn’t push himself like that again he will be aging mostly linearly again? But the damage has alr been done 😅. But anyways, after the incident, he never pushed himself like that again. One, cuz the Hamato fam would never allow it and Two, cuz the recovery period is so long/bad (cuz Cj is no master and worse he’s a literal child unlike Mikey who was in his early 20s when the cursed Aging started) no one can afford for him to be knocked out of commission like that again. It makes him wayy too vulnerable.

Post-incident, at his worst he has only aged a few days forward but cuz that’s so small no one except Master Michelangelo (cuz he’s a mystic master and cuz he’s also in the same boat) can tell the difference. Plus it’s so negligible it doesn’t technically matter.

But long story short, pulling himself tgt from that incident physically and mentally took loooonnng time haha. But as you can see even now it still leaves its scars haha and probably always will.

.

As for any other tidbits? Oh gosh where do I start ? Ahh there is just so much to say! Ok update wise I’m actually working a PMV for Healer!Cj so if I go quiet for a while that’s why. Idk how long it’s gonna take but I’m excited to show some sneak peaks along the way lol. This is my first time doing something like this so here’s to hoping it goes well!

.

Lore wise: although Cj does have a subway car in the lair. Once he gets more settled in he actually bounces around quite a bit. Boy was not meant to stay in one place for too long. While he does spent most of the week at the lair cuz the underground is familiar too him, he will spend 3-4 days crashing on the couch at April/Casey’s apartment. And on a rare blue moon he’ll give Draxum a heart attack 😂 by breaking into his apartment and sleeping on that old man’s couch. After a while it becomes their own little inside joke 😂. Draxum tries Cj-proof his apartment using mystic or otherwise and Cj makes it a point to still try and sneak in.

.

And the surprise of no one. In this Au, Uncle Mi is Cj’s favourite uncle. Sometimes second pesudo dad. But mostly on accident by a very sleep deprived Cj.

.

I have plans for P!Casey to eventually develop Ninpo a few years down the line. But I can’t think of any powers for her so if ya’ll got any suggestions pls fire away.

.

And oh P!Leo is gonna permanently need a leg brace. Sometimes on rlly rlly bad days, he will need to use a crutch (not that he ever does cuz he’s wayy to stubborn) but you get the picture.

Raph’s eye is permanently gone, Donnie and his shell will heal but bro will have chronic back pain for life plus certain parts of his shell where the tendrils dug into the thickest are now numb cuz ya know, nerve damage from being literally ripped out the technodrone. Mikey will need to wear compression gloves but his shaking gets significantly better over time. So he draw but he still needs to every two months or so he can get pretty bad flareups which are jsut Oof.

.

Good news is April is fine aside from a broken arm during the invasion that will heal. Splinter was surprisingly not that badly injured just a few pulled muscles here and there. And Cj is Obvi fine too aside from a minor concussion that he got prior to time traveling. Which to him was basically nothing. The reactions by everyone else was hilarious and a major culture shock for Cj. Turns out his apocalypse pain scale was drastically different to their normal not apocalypse pain scale.

It was hilarious the gang were like: “you’ve running around taking care of us a lot. Are you good?”

Cj: “yup all fine. Just a few bumps and scrapes”

8 Hours later..

Cj: “It looks like everyone’s settled? Great. I’ll go grab painkillers for my concussion now.”

Them: “I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOOD!?”

.

Long story short no one escaped the failed invasion unscathed :’D but also whoops sorry for the long ramble 😅 this kidna got away for me 😂

KIT 🤍🤍 I just caught up on your self-ship posts and all your answers are very cute!! I wanted to ask what was meeting each other’s family like for Kitoru and Kitkuna? (well for Sukuna you meeting Uraume perhaps hah)

AAAHHHH!! I'M SO SORRY FOR ANSWERING THIS ASK SO LATE, HAZEL MY LOVE 😭😭😭 I HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN THIS WAS THERE IN MY DRAFTS— I AM SO SO SO SORRY 😖😖 @cloudwisp

okay so---

kitoru

my parents hate him. no like fr, they HATE him. idk if it's their way-too-high hopes and expectations for their daughter, or if it's satoru's behaviour and guts, or wht– i seriously have no idea. but they DO NOT LIKE him---they do warm up to him with time, though... seeing how much in love we two are and how much SERIOUS he is about our relationship... satoru's sincere and devoted love towards me is wht wins them over eventually, convincing my mom and dad that yeah, okay, fine. they can trust this guy to keep their daughter happy and away from harm :)) satoru's parents, on the other hand... satoru doesn't really want me to meet them, but ultimately does take me to the gojo clan estate to meet his mom and dad--- it doesn't go as bad as i expected it to go. it goes well, in fact---his parents are quite decent folks. a little too formal, yes, but they're very courteous and once i become a little acquainted with them, they're surprisingly easy to chat with!! but yes, there exists a chasm between satoru and his parents and idk why but it feels as if they... are not my future in-laws but my significant other's distant relatives or smthng... i like them, tho. they're good-hearted people, i can tell you this fs :))

kitkuna

my family and sukuna never really meet each other, and i believe that's for the best of everyone involved. idk wht's gonna happen if they do ever meet... o_o [me taking aspirin tablets for headaches is what will happen, i am DAMN SURE of this *SIGH*] the first time i meet uraume is the day sukuna abducts me from my home [i was honestly willing to go with him so idk how much of an abduction it is], and i'm so so so much in awe of their beauty, elegance, sense of duty---they're actually the 1st and only well-meaning friend i make in sukuna's place [yeah, i do regard us to be friends despite uraume saying they can't disrespect me by calling themselves friends with their queen; pls don't listen to them!!!] [they are also the wingperson 'kuna and i DON'T DESERVE but DESPERATELY NEED---i'm very thankful that i have someone like uraume to guide and support me in my life ^_____^]

[danganronpafan777]

DRA Boys dating S/O who a child of Police Consultant/Private Detective Name Adrian Monk from a Live Action Dramedy Show call Monk who a man Have OCD and many phobias but still a smart detective with attention to detail and the Boys ended up meeting him when they were frame for a murder they didn't commit and Adrian takes there case to prove there innocent and soon warms up to them when they help catch the true killer *It also in a non despair AU*

I haven’t watched the show, and did a bit of research on him. I hope I didn’t butcher the character and hope you enjoy!

Tsurugi Kinjo:

Considering his job, Tsurugi wasn't completely shocked that some criminal scum tried to frame him. What did shock him was how people actually believed the frame up. 

With his well known strength and intellect, Tsurugi was confident that he could catch the true killer himself, but grew more stressed as evidence came up empty and he was running out of time

He insisted he was fine and didn't need any help when you told him about your dad, (And being a police officer, he already knew who he was) but as usual, you didn't listen to him

He wouldn't admit it, but he felt better when your dad took the case, and the two of them seemed to click 

Sure, they were both awkward towards each other, but they both focused their attention to the case and was quite impressed by the other's ability

It takes very little time for the culprit to be caught, and Tsurugi's innocence to be proven

The case makes headlines, and Tsurugi and Monk are paired up on cases more often 

Despite being awkward, your father is able to catch on to some of Tsurugi's twisted ideologies and talks about them with him whereas Tsurugi helps your father face some of his fears

Tsurugi sees your father as an additional father figure for himself, and actually learns a lot from him! 

Tsurugi is happily welcomed into your family

Mitch Higa:

Mitch was completely caught off guard and furious when he was framed as a killer. With his fame, the scandal blew up overnight, and almost everyone knew about it. He couldn't get anywhere without being swarmed by reporters. 

He used his money from soccer to pay for detectives and private investigators, not wanting to have to rely on his S/o's father, who probably wasn't happy that his child was dating a "killer"

With all the drama, a part of him believed you would just break up with him, maybe you had just dated him for his fame all along

He eventually snaps himself out of it, and despite usually being full of himself, he's genuinely afraid that you might face harassment because of this 

"Hey, Mitch..."

Here it was...

"My Dad's taking your case." 

"I know, I know. You want nothing to do with me- wait wha-"

You're the first person that Mitch dated who he genuinely is in love with, so he wants to make a good first impression on your dad (what do you mean being accused of murder isn't a good impression?)

He's a mix of awkward and trying too hard to be cool while he's scared he'll end up in jail, so he probably gets in the way of the investigation without realizing

You or your dad has to tell him to shut up-

When your dad has proven him innocent, it's safe to say that he had no idea what the hell was happening the whole trial, but he's extremely grateful

Him and your father manage some small talk, but don't interact much

He's a bit confused with your dads OCD and some of his phobias, but he tries his best to be understanding (Monk appreciates the effort)

Mitch and your father warm up to each other over time, and talk more, with Monk eventually confronting Mitch over his superiority complex

Mitch becomes more humble over your fathers actions and your father is slightly more comfortable talking to people

Kakeru Yamaguchi:

With his job as a lawyer, Kakeru always tried his best to stay out of shady business and avoided angering the wrong people, but it seemed his luck has ran out. He's defended and vindicated dozens of people, but now he'd have to defend himself, something he rarely had the guts to do. 

He put a lot of pressure on himself, looking over evidence all night, and even avoiding you so you wouldn't get wrapped up in the whole ordeal. Kakeru had always been terrified to meet your parents, and he sure didn't want it to happen when he's thought to be a killer.

Still, you knew that Kakeru was stressing too much, and he wouldn't be able to handle everything alone, especially if he kept pushing you away, so you asked your father to help him

Realizing what you did, Kakeru was actually a bit mad at you, but the stress of the situation made him break down, and you had to comfort him, so he forgave you for it

He's extremely shy and awkward towards your dad, so neither of them really talk to each other much

Kakeru is very understanding of your father's phobias while your father is understanding of Kakeru's shyness, so while they don't interact much, they mutually respect each other  It doesn't take long for your dad to warm up to him, but Kakeru still stutters while talking to him

In the end, Kakeru is vindicated within the first hour of the trial, evidence found by Adrian Monk introduced and explained by the Ultimate Lawyer ended the case in record time

Kakeru gets more comfortable with your father over time, and greatly admires him

Yamato Kisaragi:

What the hell did he get himself into this time? 

Yamato was shocked that he was being framed for murder of all things, and mostly had to comfort Mikako, who was terrified her brother would go to prison. Still, he had Tsurugi Kinjo on his side, along with his own smarts and investigative prowess

He probably didn't even need your father to help him, but wanted to meet him anyway

You had told him about how your father was rather introverted with a fair share of phobias, but as Yamato learned with Kakeru, what better way to open up someone than having them do what they're passionate about?

You were confused with his reasoning, but sure why not

He's extremely understanding with your father's OCD and phobias, and with their smarts, the two of them form a great pair of detectives

Yamato is vindicated quick, and the two of them become close, as Yamato creates inventions to help organize things easier, get rid of germs quick, and other things to help with your father's phobias

He introduces your father to Tsurugi, and always volunteers to help 

Just don't let your father see Yamato's workspace or dorm, he would probably pass out-

Utsuro:

By all means, his luck should have solved the situation easily.

So you can imagine Utsuro's surprise when he was still considered a suspect over a week later. He could get anything he wanted with less than a snap of his fingers, but somehow, he was still facing the possibility of going to jail for something he didn't even do. 

It annoyed him to no end. He was finally finding enjoyment in life, having an S/o he could trust, but after years of waiting for his stupid gift to leave him like everyone else, it finally did at the worst time possible

He doesn't object when you suggest bringing your father to help, as he didn't really expect your parents to like him even if he wasn't being tried for murder

Him and your dad don't really talk much, mostly just focusing on the case

Utsuro isn't bothered by your father's OCD, but can be mildly annoyed when he suddenly starts rearranging something

With his luck, he doesn't have any experience with phobias, but he tries to be understanding

After some time of going through the case file, your father suddenly confronts Utsuro, noticing the blanks in his past, his lack of parents or a home, etc

No matter how smart he is, he doesn't come to the conclusion of divine luck or anything so illogical, but he still expresses some concern, and Utsuro is surprised that he actually cares

Utsuro has his own set of go-to lies when it comes to his past, but your father debunked each one to the point where Utsuro wondered if you had actually told him 

In response, Utsuro asks your father about his past and phobias, and the two seem to learn a lot about each other. It would take Utsuro some time to trust Monk, but he gives him a vague yet accurate version of his past

When Utsuro is finally vindicated thanks to your father, he smiles

Kinji Uehara:

He would have never expected to find himself in this kind of situation. Kinji was shocked and a bit scared, but he kept his calm and prayed. 

When you told him about your dad, he didn't push the idea away, though he still didn't want your father's first impression of him to be behind bars

Kinji eventually agreed, as long as you didn't push your father into helping him, he was alright with it

He's extremely understanding and kind towards your father, taking care to sanitize everything he touches and rearranging items to help with his OCD. Kinji would never judge your father for his phobias, and compliments him on his attention to detail

Even if Kinji is on the quiet side, your father connects with him fast

Kinji is respectful and offers to help your father with anything, but also keeps to his distance to not interfere with his investigation 

Kinji couldn't be more thankful when his name is cleared, and thanks you and your father for your help

He’s grateful to have an S/o that stood by him during such an event, and helps Monk with his fears and trauma

Haruhiko Kobashikawa:

From the moment he's accused, he's terrified

Who would do this?? Why him?? 

He tries to pretend like he's not desperate for any help he can get, but he cracks after a few minutes and begs for your dad for help

He's a mix of trying to remain cool to get your dads favor and trying to make himself seem useful in the investigation 

He fails miserably at both, having no idea what's going on, freaking out at the lightest setback, and probably making your dad's job harder without realizing it 

He's respectful to your father's phobias, and probably tries to arrange things neatly so your dad's OCD doesn't kick in, but he ends up making a mess

Still, your father knows that he's trying and appreciates it 

When his name is cleared, he thanks your father profusely, offering to pay him or reward him somehow

Your father warms up to him more since Haru's no longer scared, and his dorky and kindhearted personality is brought to light

Teruya Otori:

When he's told that he's being accused of murder, he starts to cry as his own father demands answers

Teruya is terrified, and keeps telling you that it wasn't him, and please don't leave him..

You spent time comforting him and assuring that you knew he was innocent and you weren't going anywhere

He just clings to you, and doesn't let go until he's forcibly dragged away

You also have to comfort Teruya's father, who's frantic and worried sick, looking for the best detectives to prove his sons innocence, a giant contrast to the laidback and kindhearted man who invited you to dinner almost weekly 

When you bring up your own father, Teruya is a bit...unsure, because as desperate as he is, he doesn't want your dad's first impression of him being a terrified potential criminal, but his father immediately agrees, thanking you profusely 

Teruya tries his best to help your father, but gets confused and overwhelmed quick, feeling bad that the only thing he can really do is sit on the sidelines

He feels powerless, letting him and your father deal with his mess, but you hold him, and tell him that it wasn't his fault to begin with 

Teruya never gives up a chance to tell you how grateful he is to have you by his side during this

Teruya is always respectful towards your father's OCD and phobias, and admires him for his detective skills

When Teruya is proven innocent, him and Monk bond more, and he uses the chance to get to know the rest of your family

Teruya's dad and your dad become close friends!  DRA Yuki Maeda:

He’s mostly stunned when he’s framed, but it doesn’t take long for the fear to set in

He’s extremely happy when you and his mother visit him, and hugs the both of you 

Yuki is reluctant to have your fathers help, but his mother agrees before he can choose, thanking and hugging you until you can barely breathe

Yuki is respectful towards your father, his OCD, and his phobias, and mostly tries to stay out of his way

He tries to conduct his own investigation, not really expecting much since he’s just an ordinary kid, but eventually his own findings overlap with your father’s 

Your father is definitely impressed with Yuki and his deduction skills, and the two work together to put the pieces together

When Yuki is vindicated, he says your father did most of the work, and his mother invites the both of you to dinner

His mom is extremely welcoming towards the both of you, and is especially kind towards your father, thanking him for proving her son’s innocence 

Yuki and Monk have a relationship similar to Yuki’s and Tsurugi’s, as Yuki gives your father advice and your father awkwardly supports him

[awigglycultist]

The apocalypse, a classic scenario. Except what if it was also kinda slice of life like? Or at least if I were to actually make this into a series that's how I'd imagine it being. It's the last day of school and now suddenly a teacher and his daughters' summer are going to be spent hiding inside away from zombies... With his ex best friend/ex crush/ex enemy and that guy's current best friend.

Kaitlyn's and Carly's mom, Cameron, died when they were young (8 & 2 yrs old respectively at the time, now 16 & 10 when our story takes place) and soon after their birth father, Henry, went to jail. So they were put in care of their godfather, Matt. He makes a great dad for them. He's also high school English teacher.

Matt, Cameron and Damien were best friends in middle and high school. Until Damien's homophobic parents, his own internalized homophobia, and jealousy that Matt was accepted and love for who he was, got to him. He started to separate from them. Then he became friends bad people at the school, school bullies and stuff. Yeah, Matt and Damien didn't like each other in their last year at all. Damien ended up moving towns. Until recently when he moved back to his hometown. Now he's become friends with a bartender, Hailey, at one of the local bars. In fact she's his only friend. Now that it's so many years later he's done a ton of reflecting and knows what he did was wrong. He wants to apologize to Matt but doesn't actually have the guts to find him and say sorry. (I imagine he's actually nearly ran into him several but always runs into alley ways or hides behind trees or gets himself into a goofy scenario in order to hide).

Then the zombie apocalypse starts. It's not your typically zombie apocalypse, it's not power runs out and news stations are gone and they have to go scavenge for food. It's more like... Well honestly it's more like covid. And when Matt sees a random guy running for zombies and saves him, it's a little too late when he realizes just who that guy is, Damien. By coincidence Kaitlyn also saves Hailey. And now they're all stuck in a house a together. Yippee.

Kaitlyn would do and Matt would do anything for their family. And by that I ofc mean each other and Carly. Also Kaitlyn's best friend Willow. Kaitlyn doesn't really like anyone outside those 3, I mean she'll help people who really need help but she's not going to want to keep talking afterwards. Like "ok I saved your life? I'm not friend tho, you can go away now". Matt is kind to everyone, and tries to to see the best in everyone. Although he definitely doesn't see the best in Henry, in fact he absolutely hates that man, Henry is the only person that has made him break. Ofc he's also going to struggle a bit with Damien at first. Matt also tends to take all his negative emotions and... Pushes them down. Even though he tells others that's a bad thing to do. He's needs to be strong and no one else needs to see those, he's fine, he'll just cry at night. Damien doesn't like sharing his emotions either, drowns them out with alcohol. Damien is super cool and totally not a loser wet cat of man (yes he is).

Hailey is fun, fairly positive, funny and sarcastic. Damien's the only regular she doesn't mind, ofc they also became actual friends too. Willow is sweet, Kaitlyn's best friend and really the only one she ever hangs out with. Definitely tries to encourage Kaitlyn to do things out of her comfort, but would never force her to do anything. Willow's family got lucky with being on vacation right when the apocalypse started. But they have to come back eventually. In a way Willow is happy when she comes back, it feels better to see friend in person. Victor is another high school teacher, specifically math. He's not a well liked teacher, he's not like a total absolute piece of shit but he does kinda suck. Matt's always felt that if you chipped away long enough there Victor could be a really good person. Who knew a near death experience would be the cause to make him change?

If you want OC questions, tell me the favorite food of the first OC that pops into your head 👀

Hhhhhhhhhhh aweeome awesome awesome can always rely on you buddy youre the best 💕💕💕

Okay first one that popped into my head is my edgy boy Eblis, who Ive never talked about on here so this is just gonna sound like nonsense but whatever.

So he grew up in a port town where his dad was a fisherman so he ate lots of fish and seafood in general and thats like definitely a comfort food for him throughout his life. And his favorite of that is actually grilled squid and the way his mom makes it is like, perfection. He'll eat that all day man. But he's also too embarrassed to admit that to his companions. God forbid he express positive emotions ya know?

But later on when he has to move away from home he mostly eats junk food and snacks cuz he's a 14yo edgy gamer boy with too much freedom(technically). He has a stockpile of this very specific brand's octopus flavor chips and he refuses to let anyone see him eat them so he just eats normal flavors in front of others cuz again, god forbid he express positive emotions and actually like things, ya know?

But there is this really chef guy in the group and whenever he asks Eblis if he's interested in eating anything specific he's like "idk man fuck if I care. I guess seafood would be fine tho...." Cuz again, GOD FORBID and he's really going through it, but he misses seafood from home and will take any opportunity he can to have it.

And years later when he travels the world alone, definitely not because he's a wanted criminal, he's still mostly eating junk and snacks, but if the place he's passing through has a seafood restaurant he will absolutely stop there and eat and while that's great and all it also gives him a little depression moment cuz he misses home(really he just misses his parents) but he definitely can't go back so he's like "this is the last time I eat this stuff" but its never the last time. It never is. And along the way he eventually learns to catch fish and cook it himself cuz sometimes no money ya know. But that part gets fixed when he reunites with an old friend and a former enemy.

And then when he's living on the base in space with them and some other allies he actually becomes the best cook in the group but hes kind of an ass about it like "you will eat what I make and you will like it" cuz STILL, god forbid he express he likes these people's company and likes cooking and admits that he gives a shit if they eat well or not. So anyway obviously he makes seafood a lot when they have the resources but like half of them don't like seafood but ya know, you better eat what he makes. But also a lot of the time he doesnt actually wanna cook so he just eats junk and snacks again. He will eat the octopus chips in front of people now tho. They found out and they dont care so he doesnt feel weird about it anymore.

Also after he reconnects with his mom and she moves somewhere better on an island he visits a lot and eats her grilled squid and he's okay with showing that hes super happy about it. He is no longer in his God Forbid Era.

Thank you buddy, thank you. Im actually starving myself. I have not eaten at all and Ive been up for like five hours so Imma go make me some choccy milk, MY favorite. If that counts as food since its a drink. I mean. You consume it. Yeah, fuck it. Thats food. Thank you buddy lol

Tales of a Spectre #3

The cafeteria bustled with footsteps and murmurs. A man sat alone at one of the tables, eating a sandwich

“Morning, Morningstar.”

The man looked towards the source of the cheerful voice.

“Hello Doug. How many times have I asked you to drop that nickname?” the man asked.

“How many times have I continued using it without issue?”

The man eating groaned before gesturing to a seat, which Douglas happily took.

Doug was quick to ask, “What're you working on right now?”

“Excuse me?”

“Come on, Jacob. You're always working on some new project.”

“Ah.” Jacob looked away. “Well, not now. I want to focus my attention on Sofie.”

“Oh, you got custody over the holidays or something?”

“Something.”

Douglas frowned. “You're no fun sometimes.”

“Yeah. That's probably why she left.” He gave out a hearty laugh at his joke.

Douglas took out his lunch and the two continued eating until Douglas spoke up again.

“Can I ask you something?”

Jacob grunted. “You’re going to anyway.”

“How is she doing? Sofie, I mean.”

Jacob had to think about that question. “She’s doing okay. She’s been very happy because of something that happened at school.”

“A boy?”

“No,” Jacob shot his friend down immediately. Said friend began laughing at the bland response.

Jacob raised an eyebrow. “I don’t see why you’re laughing.”

“Jacob, Jacob, Jacob. Come on, bud. You can’t expect me to not laugh at that.”

He gave a grunt of acknowledgement and went back to eating.

“So she’s staying with you for the week?”

“What?” he dryly responded.

“Sofie! She’s staying with you for the holiday week, right?”

“No.”

“What? Why not?”

“Douglas, you’ve been to my apartment. I only have one bed.”

“What about th—”

“I’m not making my daughter sleep on a couch for the entire week. What kind of father do you think I am?”

Douglas frowned. “At least you’d have more time with her.”

“Come on, Jacob. The girl loves you. I see her light up when she talks about how cool her ‘scientist father’ is.” He laughed. “You want to be a good father? Let her spend time with her old man.”

Jacob groaned. “Why does it sound like you know my daughter more than I do?”

“Actually, don’t answer that.”

Douglas bursted into laughter, which Jacob eventually succumbed to, joining in.

“Fine. I’ll… I’ll think about what you said.”

“That’s all I ask for,” he teased with a wink, earning another groan.

The clock ticked along as Jacob waited outside the school. When it rang, murmurs flooded his ears while the exit flooded with teenagers celebrating the day’s dismissal. He pocketed his phone as a short-haired girl skipped through the crowds of people, the skirt of her uniform bouncing along to the rhythm.

“Hiya, Dad,” she said cheerfully. “I’m so happy to see you again.”

“Hello, my little ghost.” Jacob smiled. “I missed you too. Ready to go?”

With a smile and a nod, the father-daughter combo walked off to a silver sedan and drove off.

The apartment door reading “Morgenstern” opened, Sofie was quick to run inside, tossing her bag to the side as she dropped her entire body weight onto the large couch. Jacob sighed, placing a bag of his own down on a counter, and a pastel backpack of clothing next to the couch, before he too took a seat.

A moment of silence passed before Jacob spoke. “So, how was the last day of school?”

Sofie looked up at her father. “It was okay. Lots of people just waiting for the day to end. I didn't get any homework, though, so that's nice.” She smiled.

The father cocked his head to the side, raising an eyebrow. “But how will you become a robotics engineer if you aren't learning?”

“Dad, a low history mark won't affect my ability to create awesome robots.”

“You never know…”

A grunt later, the girl took out her phone and opened it to a wallpaper featuring an animated character wearing a red mask and coat with large blonde hair that covered one half of his face. She sighed, scrolling through the apps, before she opened one that presented an IDE. Her father looked at the screen, raising an eyebrow as he smiled. It earned a laugh from his daughter.

“What is it, Dad?”

“Nothing. I’ve just never seen you use one of those before.”

“Practice makes perfect, right? I gotta start early if I’m following in”—she raised her voice, making it more gravelly—“Jacob Morgenstern’s footsteps.”

She started laughing, and within seconds, so did he.

“So, what is it?” he asked.

“Hmm, nothing much.”

Sofie showed her phone to her father. The screen displayed lines of code with simple comments, such as “Variables”, “Controls storage of user input”, and “Response Generation.” He gave a small nod in response.

“Not bad, but there’s definitely room for improvement.” He eyed over the screen again, and pointed to a segment of code. “This could be reworked. You’ve got duplications of code that you should be able to turn into their own functions for efficiency. And over here…”

The two sat at a table, eating take-out.

Jacob took a pause from his burger. “I suppose I should ask this now. Get it out sooner rather than later.”

Sofie took a now unsalted finger out of her mouth with a pop! “What, uh, what is it?”

“I was wondering if you might, well, like to stay overnight during the holidays.”

Sofie immediately leaned onto the table, hovering herself over it with her arms. “Really? You mean it?” She was practically glowing.

“...Yes. I do.”

“Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!” She started bouncing in place. “I’m so excited. Thank you so much.”

Jacob was shocked, to say the least. He couldn’t help but give a low laugh. “Thank Thomas. He’s the one who ‘convinced’ me to decide that I can let my daughter use a couch if it means she can stay the night, even if I still don’t really agree,” he grumbled.

“Haha. Yeah, I’ll be sure next time I see him.”

“Alright. So, do you feel like watching a movie before bedtime?” he asked.

“Isn’t bedtime based on when you sleep since I'm sleeping in the living room?”

“That wasn’t my question, you poltergeist.”

Cold as Ice - Chapter 2 - Part 1

*Warning Adult Content*

Landon Reilly

The color of the leaves had already started changing drastically since the end of summer.

Autumn was always my favorite season, the changing colors around me feeling like a new beginning.

I wasn't used to anyone being happy to see me but Micah had a wide grin on his face when I stepped off the train in front of him.

"How was the train ride?" he asked, bumping my shoulder as he came to stand next to me.

"You didn't get into any trouble, did you?" I lightly shoved him away from me, putting some space between us.

"It was fine, no, I didn't get in any trouble," I mumbled back, readjusting my bag on my shoulder.

"Well you weren't texting me back so I had no idea if you even made it on the train," Micah replied, his tone slightly clipped yet still light.

He had this passive aggressive nature about him.

He never blew up at me, but he had a way of making sure I was aware when I was testing his patience, which seemed to be all the time.

"My phone died," I told him in a bored tone as Micah led me toward the campus.

"Well, you should keep it charged," he said.

"What if something happened? You would need some way to contact someone."

I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, Dad."

"Maybe I'm acting like a Dad but I'm right," Micah replied.

At least he seemed to care about my well-being more than my actual Dad.

As Micah and I walked through campus, nearly everyone around us greeted him.

We were only two weeks into school, yet Micah seemed to know the whole campus.

It was like that for him in high school too.

He was one of those people that no one had a bad thing to say about.

Everyone knew him, everyone liked him.

Of course, that was until our hockey team became divided our senior year and half the guys on the team ended up hating him.

Somehow the two of us started on opposite sides and ended up in the same place.

"So we got invited to a little get together tonight," Micah told me as he waved to another person.

"Not a party, just a few of us. We don't have to go if you don't want to, but I think we should."

"I don't care, Micah."

"Also, my dad wants you to call him at some point," Micah said.

"It doesn't have to be now but sometime this weekend. He doesn't want to bother you but he wants to hear from you."

"But you have no problem bothering me?" I asked.

Micah shrugged.

"Not at all."

"I'll probably go home next weekend to try to see my sister," I said, rolling my eyes.

"My parents will be happy if you go home."

It was still strange talking about home as the Hanson's house.

I had only lived at their house for a few months before going off to college but it still felt more like home than the house I grew up in ever did.

I guessed that was part of why I felt the need to go back there.

Not only did I want to go back to see my sister but I wanted to go back into the Hanson's house and have that feeling of home again.

Micah looked over at me and must have noticed a difference in the way I was walking.

"Is something wrong with your leg?" he asked.

"Some asshole knocked me over on my run this morning," I told him.

"It's fine."

"Maybe you should get it checked out," he said.

"Before hockey season starts and it becomes a problem."

"Maybe."

Eventually we made it to Micah's room and I set my stuff down next to his bed.

I had been here one other time when I went with Micah and his parents to move him in.

He lived in a suite with other freshmen hockey players.

The bedroom was small but bigger than mine and it was a shared room.

"My roommate is staying with his girlfriend this weekend," Micah told me, sitting down on his desk.

"He said you could use his bed. He put on new sheets before he left."

I scowled at him.

"I'm not sleeping in some dude's bed."

He rolled his eyes.

"Okay, you can sleep in mine then. I'll take his."

"I'll take the floor."

"You're not sleeping on the floor," Micah denied, crossing his arms over his chest.

I let out a sigh but didn't respond.

It wasn't worth arguing with Micah.

He always seemed to win our arguments anyway, not that we argued about anything serious.

He just didn't like to see me be stubborn or wallow in self pity.

"I think you'll like hanging out with my friends here," Micah said, obviously feeling like he had won our argument.

"They're kinda low key. Not real big partiers. It's nice."

I had enough of parties in high school back when I was popular and so good at faking like I had my life together when I was really doing everything I could to hide who I really was.

Back then, parties were where I could let loose and receive all the validation I never got from my parents.

They were where I could be with girls and try to convince myself that was what I wanted.

Now a party seemed like the last place I wanted to be.

I was beyond seeking validation and trying to convince myself I was straight.

Now I just wanted to be left alone and perceived by no one.

"I can just stay here and you can go hang out with your friends," I told Micah, sitting down on his bed.

Micah shot me a look that told me that wasn't going to happen.

He would rather stay here with me than leave me all alone.

He thought I didn't socialize enough and he made sure to tell me that.

Just like I made sure to tell him he wasn't my therapist and he could keep his mouth shut.

"I'm not leaving you here alone," he said, shaking his head.

"So let's not even start an argument."

I nodded, rolling my eyes as I leaned over on his bed to plug my phone into his charger.

"Have you made any friends at school?" he asked me, though he already knew the answer.

I wasn't the friend making type.

In high school, I had been friends with all those kids since we first learned how to skate.

I never needed to make friends because we had been around each other before it was so hard.

Then I became captain of the hockey team in high school and I didn't have to make any new friends then either.

I had the hockey team and that was it.

It wasn't like I was trying and failing to make friends in college.

I just didn't talk to anyone.

I barely even talked to my team because I didn't want them finding out more about me than I wanted them to know, though I was sure some of them already knew.

At least the ones my age who I had played against the last few years.

Eventually, Micah won our silent argument and dragged me over to one of his friend's dorm rooms.

At least Micah was an honest person and the gathering we headed to was actually low key.

There were only four other people there sitting in front of a T.V. and playing NHL on Xbox.

The one who opened the door was taller than both Micah and me.

His expression brightened when he saw the two of us and moved aside to let us in.

"Micah," he exclaimed, his arms opened wide.

"And you must be Landon. I'm Dylan, one of Micah's teammates."

I nodded at him in a greeting and followed Micah into the cramped room.

This dorm was in a suite, with a common area in the middle surrounded by the bedrooms.

There was a couch and a couple chairs with some bean bag chairs scattered on the floor.

Micah's friends made room for the two of us on the couch and I sat on the end closest to the window while Micah sat in the middle.

"Either of you want to play?" the guy on the other side of Micah asked.

I shook my head and Micah politely declined.

I just watched the game on the T.V. and listened as Micah made small talk with his friends.

I tried not to think about how I didn't fit in with these crowds anymore or how I preferred my solitude over being surrounded by people.

I wasn't paying too much attention to the conversations in the room until one of the guys lying down on his stomach on a bean bag chair let out a loud groan at something that happened on the screen and said something along the lines of 'that's so gay' which earned a reaction of Micah.

"Jeremy," Micah said.

"Sorry," Jeremy replied, turning to face Micah.

"Forgot I have to take that out of my vocabulary."

Micah glanced over at me and it took everything in me not to kick him in the shin.

I wasn't necessarily hiding the fact that I was gay anymore but I didn't want to announce it to everyone, especially a room full of hockey players at a catholic school.

Ever since things went sour with he and Elijah, Micah's had this gray cloud of guilt hanging over him.

So when he got to college, the first thing he did was get involved with the diversity and inclusion board at the school and he was now an ambassador for the hockey team.

It came to no surprise that he would bring that over to his friendships as well.

"We all have to," Dylan said.

"You never know who on the team could be struggling. You have to watch your mouth."

"I know, I know," Jeremy replied.

"We already got this lecture."

"Yeah, I'm just saying you shouldn't say those things in private either," Dylan responded before turning to Micah and me.

"You two had a gay guy on your team right?"

More than one, so apparently Dylan didn't know about me.

Micah nodded.

"Elijah. He transferred senior year and we played against him and his boyfriend, Fox. They're playing at BU and Northeastern this year."

Micah would never tell these guys but the reason Elijah transferred out was because he had to.

After he came out to Micah, Micah couldn't hold it in.

He told me, worried about what Elijah's confession meant for him and the team and I lost it.

I had pent up rage over my own sexuality and hearing about Elijah's made me snap.

Then he told his mother before she heard from anyone else and she kicked him out.

So, he didn't just transfer.

He was forced out and I was a huge part to blame.

Just another thing to add to the list of things wrong with me.

"It's cool though, having two out players in the NCAA," one of the other guys said.

"It'll hopefully make hockey culture less toxic."

Micah hummed in agreement, scrolling through his cell-phone.

"Oh, speaking of," Micah said, tilting his phone toward me.

"There they are."

He was on Instagram, a picture of Elijah and Fox displayed on the screen.

There were a few things I noticed then.

One was that I couldn't look at Elijah without feeling a squeezing in my stomach because I felt so guilty over the way I had treated him and how he helped me when I needed it despite that.

Another thing was that I couldn't look at the two of them together without a painful throb in my heart because I envious of what they had, and how they could be out in the open together.

The last thing made me clench my fists and my jaw.

I saw Fox and instantly placed the familiar stranger who knocked me on my ass.

Fox's brother.

The one who held me back from punching Fox one day in the school parking lot.

The two looked too much alike for me not to notice.

And now all I could do was hope I'd never run into him again.
