Remember in Season 1, Episode 1 Aftermath, Tech says "I am merely stating a theoretical hypothesis based on factual data?" Well, that's what I did, I made a "logical conclusion." From Lama Su coming back when we thought he was dead to the infamous "domicile," it was all factual evidence that was meant to push us in a direction of hoping that Tech would return and that CX-2 could be the way he does it. I'm not stupid, and neither are you. There's an underlying reason that I love Tech not based on just his handsome looks. I don't claim to have an exceptional mind like him and I don't intend to convince anyone that CX-2 was Tech, but I do want to explain how it could be construed through the way that character was presented as well as the possibility of Tech's return in general, that he could have been and none of us were wrong or "losers" to think so.

45 70 Reasons and more well on the way, lol...

General reasons:

*Tech is never seen actually dying.

*Hemlock being untrustworthy source of death certificate.

*The return of many thought to be dead characters in past Star Wars from Darth Maul who was sliced in half to Lama Su - the door closed on him and we thought he was getting shot by troopers only to show up alive later and this happened in The Bad Batch itself.

*CX-2 is shown walking toward the 'light' after dropping off Omega, symbolically toward a future redemption. @astrovoidy

*Height change on starwars.com

*The word 'dead' danced around on official sites and by BB employees

*the similarities to Winter soldier @on-a-quest

*the cryptic tweets that showcased reborn characters like Gandalf

*The official poster of CX-2 shows him in 'good' light. @eriexplosion AND CX-2 is shown looking up and to the side the way the original CF99 members are positioned and facing in their poster as if CX-2 is also a CF99 member

*other people in professional settings like New Rock Stars on youtube thought the same exact thing as well as casual viewers

*the large focus on CX-2, over multiple episodes

*misleading title of last episode "The Cavalry Has Arrived"

*Tech being smart enough to find a solution

*If Season 2 could be compared to Empire Strikes Back, Tech was taken from us the way Han Solo was, but Han Solo was returned so surely Tech would be as well

*no one expected a main ensemble character permadeath

*the fight with Crosshair music had hints of "Plan 99" in it

*Tech’s whole big conversation with Romar was about culture and memory, and he helped Romar restoring a data repository. Between the implication that Tech would have lost his memories and Phee saying, “Tech’s brain was the databank, not mine,” you could easily see that as foreshadowing for Tech getting his memories back. @heyclickadee

*All the little one line reminders and goggles shots up through episode twelve only serve to make the audience want Tech back. They aren’t closure, they’re reminders of his absence. [Tech never being quite mourned.] @heyclickadee

*The goggles are lit, or look like they’re lit, in every scene they’re in except the last one, which sure makes all those earlier shots deliberate. @heyclickadee *CX-2 could have killed all of them at different moments, but chose not to (shooting pilot instead of Hunter for example)

Physical and character similarities:

*the shrimp posture

*the kick in the fight similar to droid kick in S1E1

*the similar hand to hand combat style

*the shooting accuracy- ipsium cave/ plan 99

*the elegant deliberate movement especially of hands and fingers

*the animated head and body when speaking

*the helmet – even has his hairline @jorolle

*the viewfinder similar to Tech's and utilized just as often

*the pouches(!!!)

*the limberness and agility

*the confident capability

*the crouching/getting on one knee - Tech is an infamous croucher!

*the deviant nature – ignoring orders

*the technology know how

*the flying – some say the turn on Teth was a Tech Turn

*the extraness of tool/weapon twirl

*armpad like Tech's datapad @wolveria

*CX-2's ship has similarities to the Marauder @wolveria

*Tech CC-9902 / CX-2 - both end in 2 @wolveria

*We are reminded this season that Tech was especially good at decryption. What do we see CX-2 doing on Phee’s ship? Yeah. @heyclickadee

*Season two went out of its way to establish that Tech has a high pain tolerance, is a good close range fighter (he won a life-or-death fight with a guy when he had that broken femur), quick processing speed, and is an excellent shot. All skills we see CX-2 exhibit. @heyclickadee

The 'British' accent, speech inflection, pronunciation. and vocabulary (this alone is enough to convince anyone...):

'You better get back HERE." - "I know the girl is HERE."

"The fifth IS Omega." - "The girl IS alive."

"Who are you?" - "Who are you?"

"Naveecomputah." - "Neveecomputah."

"DOMICILE." - "DOMICLE."

Cinematic framing similarities:

*the limping

*the coming out of the water @lilacjunimo

*hooking the rappel hook rappelling down was like dangling off the rail car

*the boulder moving

*helmet viewpoint from CX-2 in finale, only BB members ever had that

Conjectural situations of suspicion:

*the beef with Crosshair

*the constant surviving

*the pausing when choking Crosshair

*the pausing to look at Phee

*The implications that Crosshair seems to know something about CX-2 (he wants to get out of dodge when he knows CX-2 is coming), and the intense lingering guilt Crosshair feels—and which is never dealt with! It’s still there through the finale—implying he knows or suspects it’s Tech. @heyclickadee

*“Whatever they did to you, whatever you’ve done, you’re still one of us,” offered by Rex towards the CXs @heyclickadee

*Crosshair’s character arc this season being partly about realizing that anyone can change and that no one is really beyond saving, which would have continued going somewhere if he thought CX-2 was Tech and considered him beyond saving, but then changed his mind and realized he needed to try. Notice that he does not engage CX-2 in 11 like he did in 7, and that this comes after his revelation about giving people a chance in 9. @heyclickadee

*CX-2 is even more Tech like in 11 than he was in 6 and 7. This implies that he could be starting to wake up, and that almost killing Crosshair triggered that. He doesn’t kill anyone except one of his own guys on Pabu (or Phee) even though it would make his job much easier. He even has Hunter and Wrecker in his sights and moves his aim to not shoot them directly. @heyclickadee

*Crosshair has no way to know that the CX’d clones come out different and that their identities are erased unless it happened to someone we know. In fact, there’s not reason for the CX plot to exist unless that horrific thing happens to someone we know. @heyclickadee

*The first episode of the show starts out with Hunter covering for someone who supposedly died in a fall. In fact, there are direct parallels in the lines: “Where’s the Jedi?” “I stunned him when he jumped. He didn’t make it.” vs “Where’s Tech?” “Omega…Tech didn’t make it.” I’m not saying Hunter was covering for Tech; I am saying that is the only place in the script where we see those phrases matched up. @heyclickadee

*Tech being CX-2 would have fit in perfectly with each member of the batch experiencing a traumatic loss (and regaining) of agency that correlated directly to who and how they are as people. @heyclickadee

Foreshadowing lines:

*More machine than man, percentage wise at least.

*Better late than dead.

*See you around, Brown Eyes.

*Tech's not gone.

*The operative's gone rogue.

*Romar saying he's a survivor and Tech's look at him.

*Don't go running off with any pirates or smugglers. @heyclickadee

Abandoned storyline reasons:

*The romance with Phee, surely it wouldn't be abandoned!? 🙄😡

*CX-2's death being anticlimactic

*The finale seeming rushed and incomplete

*Actors saying there were script changes

*CX-2's accent in the finale was not only not like Tech's as it was in previous episodes, it wasn't even a clone accent (wtf was that) signaling a script change

@wolveria made a great analysis here with her Tech-Genda !

@heyclickadee gave a great analysis here and also great evidence, more in comments!

@vivaislenska has a list as well with some of these points!

@eriexplosion has a great analysis here!

Having said that, here are some reasons it may not have been him:

*Too many characters coming back from the dead.

*The way he says 'clones' in Infiltration was more reg accent.

*Tech's line in the cave to Omega which "was a big one to me” in retrospect: "I am aware that you miss him, but we have to adapt and move on."

As for the intentions of the writers to either have been forced to change the script, but can't admit it due to NDAs or if they truly meant for CX-2 to be Crosshair's foil which to me was unclear, especially with all of the evidence above, I don't know. At least they could have made CX-2 talk and move like a reg. Making him talk and walk like Tech was kind of cruel on top of a cruel we already experienced in Plan 99. I am not personally attacking the writers, I still love Season 1 and 2 and most of Season 3, but I wish I knew what happened behind the scenes with this and I know I'm not the only one. I think this is the last time I'll personally address Season 3 or the finale unless to support other commentators/creators and for my own fix-it and art and writing. And I look forward to seeing everyone else's works as well and hope no one gives up this beautiful Batch or fandom as I almost did. Canon seems done with him, he belongs to us now. 💜

And if anyone has anything I missed (I'm sure I'll think of more myself), feel free to comment or reblog with that addition or a link to your own post and/or I can edit the OP to include it and tag you. Also, don't feel like you can't make your own post about this subject! But I do hope this maybe helped anyone still dealing with the 'aftermath' like me, to know you're not alone, and you did not read too much into it.

(In retrospect, I can't believe they killed him though, lol. What the kriff were they thinking!?! #too handsome to die #too awesome to die)

#tbb spoilers #the bad batch spoilers #star wars #the bad batch #cx-2 #tech the bad batch #tech tbb #tbb #analysis #the bad batch season 3 #TECH LIVES!#DOMICILE y'all!!! what the kriff...

Prince Soma: possibly being the key that causes Ciel to have a conflict with Sebastian?

I don't know if im the first one to notice how Anime!Abberline and manga! Prince Soma have some very striking parallels when it comes to their relationship to O!Ciel, which made me realize a few things.

First of all, I do think that some concepts of season 1 in general do parallel to the manga. Here's an excellent analysis on the topic if you want to dive deeper on that area.

Alright, let's start with me drawing some parallels to make this analysis more digestable, and then explaning how this will theoretically give us a conflict between the demon butler and our petty child.

Basically, Abberline drawing the similarties with our earl due to a shared trauma/tragedy: They both lost their families, but one learned to heal from the event, and the other completely refuses to accept happiness. (guess who's who, lol)

Fundamentally, O!Ciel is creating a hypothetical comparassion: If he hadn't gone through his personal tragedy, then he would've been as naive and innocent as Soma.

Something to consider about this parallel: The narrative in both cases textually highlights the similarities between Ciel and Abberline/Soma.

O!Ciel saying he only needs pawns, and that he has no time to have real emotional connections with people.

O!Ciel saying he uses people as pawns and doesn't see Soma as a friend, he doesn't need him by his side.

Notes to take here:

In both of these instances, o!Ciel refueses to form real human connection.

Both of these convesations spark up due to confrontation about o!Ciel's true intentions and nature.

His face is turned on both scenes/pannels, making us question how genuine o!Ciel's words are.

"Keep your distance from me, or you'll get killed" - Ciel to Abberline, season 1 episode 20

o!Ciel explicitly stating why he kept Prince Soma at arms lenght. He didn't want him and Agni to get hurt/killed in result of their closeness to our earl.

Things to point out:

o!Ciel's entire reason to push people away is because he doesn't want them to get hurt, so his earlier refusal to cut ties with others is due to fear and hestiance to accept love.

Abberline got hurt because of his relationship with o!Ciel, likewise with Soma. Causing our earl to display emotional reactions in both cases, demostrating he does care for the people close to him.

While Abberline ended up dying due to his closeness to our earl, Soma did survive the attack in chapter 125, but a part of him died with Agni as shown in the image below:

Remember when o!Ciel said that he would've turned out like the prince if it weren't for the amount of abuse and grief he went through? Well, isn't it ironic that Soma is turning out exactly like o!Ciel after losing Agni: Turning his back to salvation, his heart longing for revenge after the injustice he was put through.

(I also want to point out, Yana had made a statement that Prince Soma was originally going to die instead of Agni, but changed her mind in respect for Agni's character.)

Now, lets run back to the title of this post:

"You do have a chance to move forward, to build a brand new future for yoursef. Don't ever forget that, promise, you won't." - Abberline, Black Butler season 1, episode 20

Before our dear investigator dies, he states that he wants o!Ciel to open up his world despite his desire for revenge.

How does this connect to Soma's resolve and his relationship to Ciel? Well...

Here, our prince boasts that he wants to become o!Ciel's "Agni." In other words, he wants to provide his friend with love and protection, creating a positive worldview for the earl, who continues to turn away from the light.

It's important to note that this was before Soma thought o!Ciel killed Agni! But of course, I feel like his initiaal intentions to help o!Ciel will come back when he finds out o!Ciel isnt the true killer. (also, Soma now has Agni's powers, so atleast physically, he already has his strenght that he will hopefully use to protect the ones around him.)

So, now what?

Anime!Abberline and Soma having a similar resolve for o!Ciel, as well as their relationship with him. (as if it isn't clear enough, Abberline died protecting o!Ciel, making the earl realize his own life has value).

Prince Soma has his back turned away from the light, and o!Ciel will witness this eventually. I think it's crystal clear that our earl wouldn't want the prince to make this decision, but wouldn't that make him doubt his own quest for revenge?

Circling back to Yana intending for Soma to die, there could be a chace for him to die while becoming o!Ciels "Agni", causing o!Ciel to realize how Soma died protecting him due to love and not bc of revenge, making him question everything about his own resolve??? Plus, if o!Ciel willingly gives his life now, then that would make Soma's sacrifice worthless.

There could be a slight chance, Prince Soma survives this whole ordeal, and completes his mission of protecting o!Ciel without dying. In this hypothetical, he would then decide to florish again and go back to india, which could give o!Ciel a similar relazation that maybe, his life is worth living, just like Soma's.

In the anime, Abberline's sacrifice causes our earl to truly question his contract with Sebastian, as well as his need for revenge.

This causes the demon to feel obvious anger towards his master. And throughout the following episodes, he desperately attempts to make the earl feel hopeless again. (he clearly doesn't want to lose the meal he has been working on for years).

In conclusion:

Theres plenty of textual evidence that Soma and the earl have lots in common, especially now that the prince lost someone and vows to get revenge.

o!Ciel and Soma's relationship with revenge as of now are in a similar stance, but Soma's initial idea of protecting o!Ciel and living for love instead of revenge will come in fruition soon enough.

What would be the point of having glaring obvious parallels, and not taking advantage of them to further create a long awaited conflict between the two main characters, additionally developing them?

Anyways, that's all I have to say folks! I hope you enjoyed my take and please, let me know your thoughts:)

Okay, I know we all LOVE to see protective and acts-of-service Vox, but what about the other way? Are there moments where Alastor gets protective over his dear friend? Moments when Vox is uncomfortable and needs rescuing (and maybe reassurance?)

Okay, some...kinda spoilers(?), warnings for minor blood and threats of violence:

Sooo...yes, sorta of. This kinda showed up in another ask, but Al is really...not good at reading the room sometimes. He won't typically respond like Vox does because he's not as aware nor is he the overprotective type, particularly as it regards Vox. He's like that towards Rosie and Mimzy more often.

So far as Al has seen, Vox doesn't have insecurities because...again, he never sees him act like he's insecure. He's never had to 'rescue' or reassure him emotionally because Vox covers up his problems with bulletproof glass. Also, Al is terrible with emotions, and even worse with other people's. So, like, theoretically, if the bar situation happened to Vox rather than Al, Al wouldn't be jumping in to help out. If anything he'd be more annoyed that the conversation was interrupted...or roll his eyes when a girl flirts with Vox because (in Al's head) Vox only likes men. (He's bi, but Al has never seen him seriously flirt with or act forward with anyone while he's there. He doesn't realize it's because he's there.)

It kinda gives him the wrong impression that nothing ever gets to Vox, but that's kinda the image Vox wants everyone to have sooo...

Physical protectiveness is a different...thing. In his head, Vox is a big guy and he should therefore be able to take care of himself (again, very much a product of the time). He's much more likely to respond after the fact, then before. For example:

Warning for some blood and threats of violence.

In general, Vox prioritizes making sure Al is emotionally and physically safe, if an immediate threat doesn't exist. Al prioritizes retribution because, again in his head, that will make things better. Vox would get a bandage on Al and check to make sure it wasn't going to get infected, then deal with the guy. Al is going to deal with the guy, and assume Vox has the small stuff handled.

Now, this will change if Vox gets hurt on his behalf or if he ever gets seriously injured. Just like we haven't seen Vox act insecure before, we've never seen Al completely freaking lose it yet...and to be honest, I don't think Al has ever lost it like he would if that were to happen. It would certainly change how he views...just about everything. You don't always know how much you care about something until you almost lose it, ya know?

He doesn't care less, just differently, and his mind jumps to different places first than Vox.

Anyways, thanks for the ask!

Dear Gallifreyan Institute for Learning's social media manager,

you're a genius! We humans do overcome difficult situations by increasing our numbers or seeking company! I was looking at the whole thing wrong, it's not a matter of quality, but of quantity!

I'll just use the clone machine that my companion recently nicked. How many humans does it take to overcome (affectionately) a Timelord?

- humanon

How many humans does it take to overcome a Time Lord?

Ah, the brilliant simplicity of human ingenuity! Quantity over quality, you say? A most fascinating approach.

🧠 Intellect vs. Intellect: Time Lords possess centuries of knowledge and experience. To match their mental prowess, you might need a small library of scholars. Let's say 200 of the best human philosophers, scientists, and historians should do the trick.

💪 Stamina and Resilience: A Time Lord can endure quite a bit. To balance their physical and mental abilities, you'll need a team of athletes, endurance runners, and perhaps a few yogis. Let's go with another 50 minimum.

👯‍♂️ Social Interaction and Companionship: To keep them socially engaged, you'll need a diverse group of people. Let's add 20 sociable humans to the mix.

So, if we add this all up, you might need around 270 humans to effectively "overcome" a Time Lord.

However, there's also:

4.❤️ Affectionate Overcoming: To truly overcome a Time Lord with love and companionship, you wouldn't need vast numbers. Just the one will do, as long as it's the right one.

However, before you start up that cloning machine, consider the reality of creating a human clone army. Do you really, really want that? 😟

How do Time Lords see humans?: How Time Lords process humans on a sensory level.

Could a Time Lord heal a human with their own regeneration energy?: How Time Lords can use their lindos to heal other people.

Factoid: What happens when a human spends a lot of time with a Time Lord?

Hope that helped! 😃

Thoughts combining two of three of my biggest interests rn

Isat x Gravity falls (note I’m role swapping, but if the roles had romance between them please note that it’s platonic now. Like the people in the Isa and Sif roles aren’t being shipped. Likewise, if I put someone in the gravity falls roles and they are being shipped I don’t ship those GF characters necessarily.)

Anyway, GF characters in isat roles

Siffrin -> Mabel. Her whole thing is that she doesn’t want to lose the people she loves and she tries to hold onto them, accidentally causing the apocalypse. Sounds VERY similar to Sif’s whole deal tbh. Mabel is also someone who acts as the ‘funny jokes person’ in her group, similarly to Siffrin, and controversy i’d say it’s a bit of a protective layer for both of them. Also the way Siffrin’s loops works and how he almost seems to crave them near the end and how Mabel was in the bubble can be parallels. Do you see the vision???

Odile-> Dipper. OK HEAR ME OUT!!! I know you’re going ‘no Ford would be Odile!!!’ WRONG! First of all, no Dipper is scrappy in a way Odile is and Ford isn’t (Ford is badass and kinda unhinged but he’s not ‘scrappy’ even when going insane). Also Dipper is generally more pessimistic and less gullible than Ford. Dipper and Odile are both people with a thirst for knowledge who don’t like not knowing things. Both these characters have a clear ambition, but are similarly grounded in how much they CARE. Also Ford could never pull off the sus quest, but I think Dipper could 100%. Also also Dipper and Odile are doing the same type of shenanigans to me (-awkward teen boy things).

Isabeau-> Stan. Hmmmmmmmmm…. Changing everything about yourself until the old you is dead because you hate yourself? Being too much of a coward to communicate with the people you love despite them meaning everything to you? Refusing to acknowledge how smart you are and acting dumb (well ok this one is a stretch because Stan actually thinks he’s stupid, but he TAUGHT HIMSLEF TO REBUILD THE PORTAL???? FORD needed BILLS help for that! Ofc Stan had some of Fords notes, but like…. He taught himslef complex physics to PUNCH A HOLE IN REALITY. I think it applies.)? Yeah Isa and Stan are weirdly good parallels.

Mirabelle-> Ford. I’m mostly relating him to Mira becaus Sif the way he felt like he was solely responsible for killing Bill weighed on him. This isn’t the most 1-1, but Mira is someone who is different from her peers. She follows a belief of change while being the most aroace autistic invidual ever who wants to stay the same execpt she gets to be a scholar and learn everything. OK FORD. Also I think if the Change God pulled a Bill Cipher on her she would also become a Sci-Fi hero and go try to fucking kill it, Ty <3

Bonnie-> Pacifica? Sorry the pines family is four members and none of them except maybe Mabel fit into the Bonnie slot, and Maybel is better as Sif to me. They could theoretically be Soos or Wendy who sometimes get added but none of them give Bonnue vibes and also if you have one you need the other.

Loop-> I so BADLY want to say Dippy Fresh…. so I will. Loop is Dippy fresh, fuck you. (Created from a wish of an alternate Mabel wishing that somewhere she had company while going isane? For a Dipper that understood the Loops? Idk.) OR MAYBE!!!! Anti-Mabel????? Alternatively she’s ‘Shooting Star’ (Mabel in a loop situation)

King-> Bill. Do I need to explain this? Pathetic horrible guys who have sympathetic backstories but are sopping wet assholes

Change-> axolotl

Euphie- J the Unswerving (Oracle)

whos ur mdzs blorbo (if u say anyone but jiang cheng youre wrong /JOKE)

not to be an Extremely Basic Bitch but Wei Wuxian. in my defense gotta LOVE me any character who is doing basic physics research and you cannot tell me that the development of demonic cultivation is not basic physics research in any given story I am going to be most obsessed with the character who is closest to doing theoretical physics in that setting bc most often nobody gives a fuck about the physics of their world in the main story even!! though!! it!! would!! be!! really!! cool!! magic!! physics!! that!! I!! want!! to!! know!! about!! and yes I understand the author set out to tell a story not to do fundamental physics but the physics of it will haunt me. I can and will kill on the hill that Wei Wuxian does magic physics and he does it Really Fucking Well and that is the thing I care most about in the world

but also

I am generally Bad At Cooking. I got better at cooking towards the end of grad school! but at the beginning of grad school I was actually cooking all my own food for the first time and was Bad At It and what's worse is that I was so tight on time that I'd almost always bulk cook for the whole week which meant that if I fucked up a recipe I had to eat it for lunch and dinner for like six days straight

until I discovered. the single best cooking hack. in the world.

you see, I like spicy. and I'm a vegetarian have been for forever and vegetarian bulk meals are like. "pasta and vegetables" "beans and rice and vegetables" etc etc. which and it turns out. that if you fuck up trying to make something. without altering the texture and having to redo anything bc it's totally possible to do it at the very end you can just dump an ungodly amount of red pepper flakes and/or cayenne pepper powder in and now it does not taste Bad, it simply tastes Spicy, and for me, that tastes Good

I proceeded to use this trick with everything. including when my coffee beans got really old and stale bc bought those in bulk too. simply throw red pepper flakes in to the ground beans before you drip brew it and now it's spicy coffee instead of stale coffee!

anyways I eventually became A Better Cook and Started To Make Food That Is Spicy But You Can Actually Like. Taste Other Flavors. miss Spicy Coffee tho, wish I had the time to brew my own coffee again.

fast forward to like. a month ago.

I discovered about a month ago lo and behold that I Do Slightly Better life-wise if I Actually Eat Breakfast before running out the door even though it's like 6:45am and I'm not that hungry. and I had a bunch of old fancy farmer's market granola from like two years ago that was about to expire so I started eating that with some greek yogurt. but it was a small bag and I was about to run out. so I bugged housemate-partner-who-is-a-good-cook-my-beloved of would he consider helping make me a shit-ton of homemade bulk granola, I'd grab the ingredients and we could figure it out as we went along

except the thing is he Hates cooking by Vibes instead of A Recipe it Stresses Him Out So Much bc he is not used to people with the attitude of "eh if I fuck around I find out that is the deal I make with the universe I'll still eat it" he is used to people with the attitude of "if it's fucked up I am physically incapable of eating this"

so I. jokingly. as he expressed some Worry about "do we REALLY need to cook this by Vibes? can we Please find a granola recipe??" went "hey don't worry!! if it comes out Absolutely Terrible we can just use my old trick from grad school of throwing enough cayenne pepper into it that it just takes Spicy instead of Bad!" the joke being that like. spicy granola in yogurt that is a CRIME hell spicy granola is a crime who ever heard of spicy granola

.............except I was. really curious.

so the next morning I tried sticking some red pepper flakes so the texture wouldn't be disgusting into my granola and yogurt, I am nothing if not a caricature of myself, I live by the primary tenet of "commit to the bit" there did not exist a world in which once I had set forth that bit I would not Commit to it.

and it was delicious????? like it was weird Spicy Surprise but it was delicious. No Bit I Just Legitimately Like Spicy Granola Apparently With Or Without Yogurt.

so I Decided that let's not even wait for us to Potentially Fuck Up The Granola Recipe let's just put 3/4ths of a full shaker of red pepper flakes into it for Funnsies. because that's a reasonable amount of red pepper flakes, right? there's a lot of granola I want to make sure that there's a hint of spice in every bite!

out came a gallon and a half of Crimes Granola. the red pepper flakes got into the coconut oil so every single bite of it is infused with a huge amount of spice it is FUCKING DELICIOUS and to absolutely every single person in my house who have Nowhere Near My Spice Tolerance even the one who Likes Reasonably Spicy Things it is Totally Inedible I make a three month supply of booby-trapped granola that I and I alone can eat

anyways.

like two days later I proceeded to have an existential crisis about the fact that I'd made granola that I was the only person I knew who would like it, except also, Wei Wuxian would probably like it.

so yeah he's my fave.

#my life #also honestly honestly?#can HELLA empathize with his general situation growing up in the Jiang sect in that like #not to go into My Tragic Backstory #but like. I stare at Wei Wuxian's entire deal with the Jiang Sect and go 'OH HEY BIG MOOD'#but mostly OH HELL YEAH CHARACTER DOING BASIC PHYSICS RESEARCH THE SINGLE THING I AM MOST INTERESTED IN EVER IN MAGIC PHYSICS #THAT IS A MAN AFTER MY HEART #long post #ok to reblog

Character/Headcanon analysis: Koushirou Izumi and his parental tendencies

I like to call Koushirou "parental" when it comes to his 02 self - and I'm aware that may also be a very self-indulgent headcanon of him taking after Kae, even though she is more into soft parenting, whereas he himself is pretty occupied to make sure that his children are not blowing themselves up...

But of course you can also just call that him being a naturally supportive and caring person - always has been, ever since Adventure, even if certain events had to trigger him to not only be theoretically but physically helpful (such as whenever it comes to saving Mimi, Sora and Hikari - or telling Taichi to take it easy for once). The same attitude can also be found in Tentomon - though in his case, it's being protective on one hand and quite literally parental on the other (particularly in Tri).

Koushirou being thoroughly protective is the reason why like to parallel him to Sora (and Hikari and basically Taichi too and thus Team Light validates me again), because them having self-sacrificial tendencies towards the others has ALWAYS been a thing - to various degrees. Again, Koushirou was ALWAYS taking on responsibility to make sure that others are safe (which is literally 90% of how his interactions with Hikari go, heck, Atlurkabuterimon trying to protect Angewomon is the biggest metaphor for that!). Unfortunately, my art did not become canon, but yes, I still maintain he was cut out of The Beginning (even as support) to give the spotlight to others for once. They still couldn't fully ignore him, hence why the "If Koushirou-san can't figure this out, how are we supposed to?" quote exists - the 02 kids have always relied on him and looked up to him, so it makes perfect sense. And Takeru acknowledged his support in his fanfiction as well! But they naturally didn't want him to get the spotlight, because it was about the 02 kids. 100% valid.

But then you also have the show vs. tell problem. Mimi says Koushirou is ignorant - and a lot of people take that at 100% face value. Taichi even defends him since he is pretty much aware of his quirks - and the scene above pretty much implies that Mimi herself knows how Koushirou is (= getting into hyperfocus mode and becoming ignorant towards everything he doesn't deem important in the process, hence being ignorant in urgent situations, but NOT in general). Stageplay!Kou is in a league of his own anyway, because he was allowed to voice his frustrations with "not being allowed to help by Taichi" again - and because he made everyone question how they really felt (like a good parent would always encourage their children). There are tons of examples, but to sum it all up: He is a connector, he is basically second in command, he is protective. His way of phrasing that may be awkward and not always understandable by others (hence why Yamato needs to explain it to Kae and Taichi to Meiko, IT'S A PATTERN), but...

Again, I just feel like 02 made him incredibly paternal in how he watches over the 02 kids, every time he talks to Iori, Miyako or Ken, he's kind and reassuring - yes, he does scold them and his potential suitors, ahem for being reckless, but also knows when to give praises.

(It also makes sense that he also mainly gets angry whenever he is being left out of things - especially if he knows he could have done something to support.)

We also all know that he has a very loving mother himself and, as mentioned, even if their parenting style might be rather different, he knows what is important, so... How can I not think it's because their relationship got better and he takes after her? Yes, Tri onwards didn't maintain the mom/dadness in him the same way, but he still feels responsible for everybody's safety, he gives advice and guidance all the time and that doesn't change.

(this ask is based on the, I'm not sure if unfounded, assumption that at least 1/6(?) main crew members has some sort of non-ace/aro attraction): How do you write allo characters as an aro person? I'm one of those annoying allos who's *hyper-romantic* and working on hypersexuality for my own health, so I color most of my writing with that and struggle to write ace people. I know a lot of writers can distance themselves more. I guess I'm just curious how you inspire your characters to act socially outside of the way that you interact, specifically in terms of romanti/sexual relationships. I'm pretty good at getting my characters to engage with the world outside of my way of doing it until it comes to romance.

It's… tough, and I'm working on it. I still need to remind myself that a lot of people legitimately do experience sexual attraction and thus find certain other people in certain situations extremely physically appealing, in contrast to my own platonic attraction (the people I like, I typically like the same amount no matter what they're doing or how they look) or aesthetic attraction (when I like how someone looks in a specific situation, it is still in an extremely hands-off "I'd like to draw that" way).

I can work my way through the logic of romance, I think. I've been told that it doesn't feel the same as friendship, and that it places another person in a somewhat uniquely structural role for one's life. I've heard it described as being someone's "everything-team" - the person they want by their side at any endeavor - which is the only thing I've ever heard about romance that I don't think applies to a good percentage of my IRL friendships.

Romantic attraction is definitely the more confusing one, because everyone I know in a romantic relationship insists it's different than their platonic ones, but can't really explain why or how, only that it is. The thing is, this makes me believe them more. I know how hard it is to explain a unique inner experience to someone who has a completely different one. Their partner is their best friend, or at least top three (understandable) and also in a unique position in their life (confusion??) I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, and I think I love my friends as much as I'm capable of, and there are people I'm friends with who I could see as a theoretical partner - except that it would change absolutely nothing about our current relationship. This is why I don't identify with the label of "aromantic" where I definitely do with "asexual", because I think I experience what people are talking about, I just feel it kinda everywhere instead of nowhere.

So the hack I think I can make work to do this in my writing is:

Sexual attraction is like aesthetic attraction, but with a hands-on component. Replace "I want to draw that" with "I want to get my hands on that" and go from there.

Romantic attraction is evidently its own beast, but it contains concepts like "I trust this person implicitly," "I care about them and want them to be happy," "I would be happy coming home to this person," "I want to protect them," "I like that they care about me," and "this person helps me see the world in a different way" which are all individual sentiments I understand, even if I personally feel them about a large number of people rather than a single Special Someone. Point them at a single Someone and have the two characters involved act accordingly, and I can probably pull a romance out of it.

Like all writing-an-alien-situation stuff, it mostly pays to identify the specific details that correlate to things you DO understand and then extrapolate from there. Or you can fake it and black-box their motivations and be like "here's where I'd put their sexual attraction to each other if I had one"

Ok @moosemonstrous here we fuckin go.

OK SO. I apologize if it comes off more Evangellion than Pacific Rim but I thought that making The Charger more slender would help to differentiate it and allow for a focus on agility (also helps it to look more skeletal and unsettling).

The Charger is built in layers. An outer layer that constitutes the armor, a thinner covering, metal scaffolding, secondary thin covering, and then finally the essential wiring that makes the 'nervous system' of the Jaeger. Most of the damage (corruption scars, nicks, paint chipping) is just cosmetic, and the structural nature of the Jaeger is intact.

HOWEVER. The same can not be said of the reactor core. At some point (maybe during Eli's death?) corruption made its way behind the main fans of the outer engine and into the main reactor that powers the Jaeger. In theory this should lead to a catastrophic failure, but in this instance Im thinking there was a chemical reaction that essentially stabilized the corrosive nature of the Corruption (were gonna circle back to that).

For the most part my version of Robbies suit is fairly standard. I added an orange tint to his helmet screen for flavor because hey. Why not.

The spine of the suit is probably newly integrated to allow for an updated interface, I imagine theres at least a little development in the technology between the time Eli dies and Robbie comes into play. That would make the suit a weird mishmash of past and new technology which could be VERY fun.

Also I LOVED the white accents @cicada-candy added for their design but I didn't want to steal ideas so I just added it in my own places. Your art fucks severely bro I just wanted to make sure and let you know that <3

TIME FOR MY FAVORITE PART: SPECULATION ABOUT THE CORRUPTION AND ITS THEORETICAL GENETIC EFFECTS IN DOSES ON A SUBJECT!!!!!! (AKA self indulgence part 2 electric boogaloo)

I believe you mentioned the Corruption being a Neurotoxin which would be Very fun and VERY cool but I also have a suggestion. Mainly because you also referenced an increase in Robbies strength, as well as another person who got fuckin deaded shortly after.

A rapid growth in muscle density to allow for this strength would be very interesting, but why would the Corruption cause that? Simple answer; it isn't. At least not intentionally. Whats actually happening is a kind of nerve damage that changes the brains regulation of muscular exertion. Our brains really only let us use a certain percentage of our real strength, because if we just let loose and used it all we would cause significant physical damage to ourselves. Like. ripping your own tendons free from their anchors. you could break your own bones. you would die SO fast bro.

Now it is POSSIBLE to access this strength in situations of extreme stress and thats how you get people lifting cars off of loved ones, but this does still cause damage. It also gets more complicated when you consider Fast Twitch muscle reactions but for the sake of simplicity: You Would Die.

So a release of cortisol and other stress hormones, combined with a lessened ability to control strength. This means they would be USING that strength A LOT against ANYONE AND EVERYONE. But maintaining this sort of metabolism is not reasonable. Someone suffering from Corruption would likely also suffer from Hypoglycemia fatally. So extremely strong, extremely scared, and extremely short lived is the kind of deal we would be talking about here.

SO. Having said ALL OF THAT. WHAT IS ROBBIES DEAL. Well heres my proposal: The Corruption is a virus that causes neurodegenerative disease.

If Robbie was exposed to very small amounts of it as a child, it's possible it was inactive or defective, which would have allowed for an immunization point. Its also highly possible that this is a virus that can not survive (well i say survive very lightly. theres significant debate as to wether viruses are actually alive at all but I digress) outside its usual area AKA Inside a demon. He could have been exposed through contaminated water, direct contact, maybe even breathing burned version through the air. Either way, he came into contact with a weakened version of the virus and it helps him later on.

As he comes into DIRECT contact with Corruption via plugging into The Charger this is when we would start to see some more interesting effects. This Corruption would still be different though because of the aforementioned stabilizing chemical reaction in the reactor. Also, because I think Eli's DNA would be integrated into it. This provides Robbie with genetic compatibility for the virus to jump off of. Remember, viruses don't want to kill a host, they just want to reproduce as much as possible (which does end up killing a host but still). And a fun fact about viruses is that we never actually get rid of them, we just get rid of the symptoms. Once you have it its in you forever.

SO. 1. Immune response from Robbies body begins to cause the nervous damage that would allow for his rapid increase in strength. 2.Immune system recognizes the genetic material is familiar (Eli doing something good even inadvertently I guess). 3. Immune system neutralizes the virus and incorporates it into Robbies genetic coding. All good right? Happy ending? WRONG.

BECAUSE WHEN THERE ARE COPYING ERRORS IN YOUR DNA (SOMETIMES FROM VIRUSES) WHAT DO WE CALL IT?? DING DING DING 10 POINTS TO THE MUTUAL THAT SAID ✨MUTATION✨

This virus still carries genetic material from demons, this would also be getting integrated into Robbies DNA. Places like his spine which would have the most regular contact with the Corruption would probably take the brunt of these changes. It's possible that the nerve damage never truly goes away and he continuously tears and then rebuilds those muscles, resulting in overall increased strength thats technically?? stabilized?? Also I could totally see his body going 'oh shit were finally growing with decent access to fuel? BET' and just. Reactivates the growth plates in his bones ('Look! I've fixed his runt of the litter insecurity!' 'YOU FUCKED UP A PERFECTLY GOOD PILOT IS WHAT YOU DID. LOOK AT HIM. HES GOT ANXIETY ABOUT THE STATE OF HIS HUMANITY').

Oh yeah its also worth noting that this would be like. Pretty painful. We're talking constant soreness, cramps, deep aches that just won't go away. General suffering <3

Of course tapetum lucidum OF COURSE TEEF obviously as if I could go without it. You can get funky with mutations because hey. fucky wucky demon genome integration whoop whoop. Also could be interesting to see damaged areas on the Charger manifest on Robbie as damaged tissue. His skin says 'AH. Damage' and copies itself as scar tissue instead of the usual.

Oh god Ive been writing for a solid hour and a half I was supposed to be asleep a while ago ok. Moose I love this au and its making me unwell thank you for sharing with the class I hope you will consider my virus proposal for body horror purposes.

#love the idea of him just getting up one morning and going '??? Was the floor?? that far away before??'#im a sucker for it dude #also I am like. not a biologist . just enthusiastic about biology without the education. so take everything here with a grain of salt lmfao #i gotta go to sleep now. how am I gonna do that. much excitement. i make responsible choices like an adult.#ughhhh #robbie reyes #ghost rider #im prolly gonna look at this in the morning and edit the hell out of it because in my joyus haze of bullshit I didnt connect paragraphs #but fuck it we ball #pacific rim ghost rider au #my art #digital art #sketch #oh its also worth noting that the ✨mutations✨ im talking about generally result in like. cancer. very cancer #eli morrow #<- naughty. goes at the bottom of the list

Nakshatra Gana - Deva, Rakshasa, Manushya

According to Vedic Astrology, Nakshatras all possess a temperament, that is translated to Divine, Human or Demonic. These names however are clichés, and have a deeper meaning and application.

Deva, besides the direct translation divine, also means "amongst the gods". The true meaning of these Nakshatras is "blessed because of their higher nature, that allows them to dwell among the gods", and as a result, blessings come into physical life.

Manushya doesn't mean just human, but also "part of humankind", emphasizing the collective aspect of these Nakshatras of contributing to human achievement in various fields. Even the other word used for that Gana, "Nara" means "of the people". Yet again, the aspect of belonging and contribution is emphasized.

Rakshasa, although scary sounding, doesn't mean that the person is an incarnated demon. It's translation is more akin to "demon abode" or "infested by demons". This is a soul, that picks up a heavy load of karma in specific areas, that only flourish and progress, after these "demons are expelled" = karma is dealt with. This progress translates to a high level of achievement, mixed with feeling enormous spiritual relief. Rakshasa souls are daredevils, not afraid to undertake such a challenge.

The most complicated aspect of analysing results of Gana in a horoscope, is that people are a mix of all 3 Ganas. Classical Vedics swear by doing most predictions based on the Moon Nakshatra, but when your Dasha periods change, different planets will activate, and a different side of you will come out. You’re gonna find Gana themes mixed in a personality, and planets will indicate the precise colour of that personality, as to the areas of people’s problems.

The popculture examples that I give below are clichés, designed to help you understand each Gana in stark contrast. You will feel the description matching you the strongest, if you are a very clear cut type chart-wise, for example sun, moon and ascendant all in one Gana. For example, I’m very deva dominant (70% of chart) and creation, art and abstract concepts are all I care about, so the Deva archetype is going to be strong for me. I have zero Manushya planets and dealing with involving myself in typical society activities always bored me.

Deva

Are unconditional givers because they don't understand human limitations, and as a result they get cheated, bullied and taken advantage of. Their task in this lifetime, besides using their luck and gifts to create and spread abundance, is to learn how to place boundaries with other Gana types. When they're born, they start off as naïve, not really caring about human concepts, and as a result they're often misfits in social environments. They’re typically born into some form of privilege, even if it's just emotional. They are raised already in a place that was good for them one way or another, gave them some long lasting worthwhile characteristics they will take forward in life. There is an element of comfort in their existence. Their basic impulse is truthfulness, innocence and straightforwardness, because they simply want to pour out and consume higher vibrational energies. As a result, they're interested in higher concepts that help them manufacture these sensations. The most abstract of all, loves discussing theoretical, spiritual concepts even if they're based on science (Neil deGrasse Tyson, theoretical physicist, Bjork, abstract artist). They want to bring heaven on earth and have an easiness in manifesting the physical means to realise their larger vision for the sake of higher vibrational sensations, or creativity. They are protective and carry other people a lot because of their blessings, since they consider that they should share what they have. Over time, they learn that if they don’t channel themselves into their creativity and higher pursuits, they attract a lot of difficult types that they end up “saving” at their own detriment. They are always looking for abstract solutions and more expansion, and are disinterested in the mundane, physical world, looking for a more grandiose purpose. Even if they do pursue physical things, it's for an abstract reason, like feelings or atmosphere.

Rakshasa

They either become perpetrators, if they fail to tame their own transformative power, or they are people that empower themselves through overcoming perpetrators. Fierce, seeking power and dominance, energetically ladder climbing. Example in pop culture - Katy Pery, Vishakha Moon creates inspirational music videos, where joins the military or becomes jungle queen, after dumping an abusive partner and suffering a lot. The theme of this Gana is self destruction or self empowerment. Unlike Deva, there is no inherent comfort or natural gifts given at birth, but a fight for survival and achievement. That is for a reason, as these types are most prone to being destructive and blind in their pursuits or restless without an outlet. They have a hunger in themselves, that need challenges and obstacles to overcome, so they can feel like they're climbing, and as a result they often start at the very bottom in the planet area dominated by Rakshasa energy. Deep down, these people want to prove themselves and feel satisfaction from the process of purification. They are either completely misunderstood by other types and vilified by them, or extremely charismatic and gifted at attracting a following of people, who admire their challenging journey. As much as Manushya types are interested in science of psychology, and Deva may use spiritual concepts to share higher sensational pieces of self expression, Rakshasa people are those who need spirituality the most for the sake of healing. They need to truly understand and apply these concept in order to be able to survive their journey at all, as their inner demons go deep, and without self awareness they have no chance of success.

Manushya

Concerned with refining human societal concepts and achievements. Psychology (the scientific practical variety), technology, social rights, women’s rights, activism, feminism, economy. Deep analysis of the human condition and its animal impulses. Interest in humanity for the sake of humanity itself. Down to earth, detail oriented, interested in mundane challenges that bore the other two types. Involvement with institutions, attachment to these institutions, contributing to them. Morality is wavering and relative here, as they are not as fierce as Rakshasa, but they are prone to pettiness, being so absorbed into the human world makes them prone to human flaws. They are not strictly immoral, but more expedient and result oriented. Example - Bharani Moon Demi Moore in "Striptease", her character suffers from money problems, child custody problems, government sourced problems, as she explores themes of objectification and female empowerment. These natives are prone to status and wealth comparison, and as a result are also most prone to being shallow and judgmental on that basis, they simply don't reach higher because that is their area of interest. They learn everything by comparing themselves to the external world. To them, society is their parent and measuring stick.

I saw a thought experiment recently, which essentially asked "if you were alone on a desert island, and all your physical needs were met, would you still transition?" I'm aware I'm probably super late to this question, apologies if this is overdone, but I wanted to ponder it anyway.

I think the answer for me is yes, but probably very differently. Some people might use this to say "oh you're not really trans if you say no" or something similar, but that's not true.

(Short disclaimer, everything I'm about to say is only my own personal experience with my own gender, everyone's transitions are different and your experience is just as valid as mine.)

For me, I think I would, but I would feel far less confident or happy in it. Yes, the desert island is devoid of social constructs and pressures, and allows you to truly be yourself with no filters, and for some people that might be better, even ideal. For me though, I think I would be very lonely.

Before anyone says "but this is a theoretical about your transition, not your social needs" I disagree. For me, the two are so intrinsically tied together that they can't be separated. I didn't just transition to a woman, I transitioned from a social outcast and total shut-in to a friend, a partner, and a sister. I barely even talked to my own siblings as a kid, and I often found myself with no friends at all. I had no relationships or partners, and I never sought one out. Now, I have dozens, people I can rely on, who can rely on me, and who I can call "friends". I have a girlfriend who I love with all my heart, and I know she loves me back.

No, my transition is not reliant on social pressures or norms. No, I don't need external validation in order to see myself as valuable or beautiful. No, I don't care what some online transphobe or chaser is going to think of me, or what "category" of gender someone might put me in at first glance. What I do care about is how those I love see me. I want to share this journey with people I care about. I don't want to do this alone, not just because I am vulnerable and need the help of others sometimes, but also because I want them to see the joy that I get from it. I want them to be able to look at me and see how much happier I have become. And I want them to be able to do the same, I want to witness their joy too. I want my happiness to be infectious, so I can use it to be better to others around me.

For me, being trans isn't just about transitioning. It's about being me, the most real and true version of me. And my friends are a part of me, so without them I could never be whole.

The aromantic Levy headcannons anon here!

Levy is in a qpr with Jet & Droy. Gajeel ofc becomes a part of it once he joins Fairy Tail. So does Lily

She did feel like she was a bit of an outcast since the girl's and some guys would talk about romance and she didn't understand it. Same as Lucy, Levy enjoyed reading about it, but the love parts just to her, weird and confusing

Jet & Droy helped her figure herself out and finding out she was aromantic made her smile.

Levy had to contain her excitement when Lucy approached her, talking the way she used to about romance. She was happy that she wasn't the only aro girl in the guild.

Gajeel surprisingly was the easiest to tell that she was aromantic. "...I'm aromantic" "Cool" "Wow. That was easy" Natsu on the other hand, was the hardest. He just stood there with a confused look on his face so she had to explain it in a different way. "I prefer friendship over romance, Natsu" "So calling you my best friend is okay?" " Yes you dummy"

it's not a lot but I hope you like them

sending hugs and a nice warm bowl of soup your way, anon; I love these mwah <2

writing this post just in time for aromantic spectrum awareness week!!

aromantic fairy tail headcanons

♡ yes to everything above. levy adores jet and droy, then gajeel and lily. she gets such a sense of fulfillment and joy when she's with them.

♡ levy wears green on valentine's day. yes, it's a statement, and she'll patiently spend the day explaining aromanticism to anyone who asks. she also binges on discount chocolates with lucy that night as they watch shitty romcom movies. the two can and do coexist.

♡ another qpr/qpp pairing is juvia and lisanna. they're not only close emotionally; lisanna is by nature a physically affectionate person, and juvia is severely touch starved. the only person she could theoretically be comfortable with touching her is gajeel, but he's not one for soft affection (she's been thrown into too many brotherly headlocks over the years.) so when lisanna casually grabs onto juvia's arm when they're out and about, a switch flips in her head. juvia is very touchy with lisanna, and only lisanna. this leads to most of the guild thinking they're dating.

♡ the words "we're just friends" leave a bad taste in lisanna's mouth. juvia wrinkles her nose when she hears people say "oh, so you're not more than friends." both consider each other one of the most important people in their lives. them being friends doesn't somehow diminish that. juvia lets the worry slip when she's shopping with lucy, who brings her to levy. the three have a long and thoughtful discussion, but honestly, it leaves juvia feeling confused. she's never been one for close relationships with anyone, given her childhood, and all these labels make her head hurt. levy and lucy say that's fine, the only person she really needs to make sure is on the same page is lisanna.

♡ lisanna is very much on the same page of "idk what we are but I like where we are." they decide to just... keep doing what they're doing. when there's new developments (juvia gets a nosebleed when she sees lisanna in a swimsuit, to her own horror), they talk it out and set boundaries for what they want and don't want to do (juvia very, very shyly asks if she could give lisanna a kiss on the cheek.)

♡ also, at some point, juvia and lisanna move out of fairy hills and get an apartment together. mira objects to this only on the grounds that she won't be able to prevent them from starting kitchen fires with their baking attempts. she ends up over more often than not, and lisanna feels her chest swell with warmth at seeing her big sister and her best friend get along so well.

♡ also big aro vibes... gray, cana, and loke. the three of them are so chill about everything. the guild suspects they're in a relationship, but then they also see cana going out with lucy and get confused. gray just shrugs and says it's a girls' night. completely unbothered king. besides, he's got a board game score to settle with loke and natsu.

♡ erza, I think, is a big romantic at heart, but the thing is she does that to everyone. she gets a lot of money from s-class jobs, and there's only so much she can spend on herself or new sets of armor. eventually, team natsu starts finding beautiful bouquets of flowers on their doorsteps. someone dares to tell erza that men don't like flowers, and suddenly every man in fairy tail is getting a monthly bouquet of roses.

♡ erza also misses a lot of "romantic" cues. she wouldn't be able to tell if someone was flirting with her if her life depended on it. gray and natsu, the little shits, take full advantage of this to mess with the poor suitor. I also think erza is demi, so she really has to have a strong emotional bond with someone before she considers having sex with them. she likes to take care and be taken care of, so she wants it to be with someone who knows her inside and out.

♡ natsu honestly has huge aspec vibes, mostly because he completely bulldozes over any societal conventions, labels, and definitions. if natsu feels a certain way, he's going to let the person know. if he wants to be cuddly with them and they're okay with it, he will be cuddly. doesn't matter who they are; even laxus gets the occasional natsu cuddle. levy and lucy almost lose their minds because they're so busy having deep discussions about the intricacies of aromanticism, and then natsu comes in like a breath of fresh air because he genuinely does not care. not in a bad way, he loves to listen to lucy's passionate rants (she's cute when she's excited) but. it's just something that never bothered him. personally, I do think out of everyone, he's closest to lucy in the "romantic" sense, but even then, it's just a different type of relationship to him. there's no way in hell he would specifically choose just lucy over everyone else in the guild. they're all his family!

♡ in conclusion, fairy tail is aromantic and aspec as fuck.

“I think I might have to move to a cheaper place.” Marcus admits, staring down at his coffee in the break room, sighing slightly as he takes a sip. Getting to D.C. and settling in had been harried, the offer to become the head of the Art Crimes Division at headquarters had been an honor. Plus, when he had believed that Teresa was coming with him, he had splurged for a larger place, believing that they might even start a family but she had changed her mind and he was left with a townhouse he couldn’t afford forever and it was too big for just one person.

“Why don’t you get a roommate?” Stevenson asks, his own coffee cup in hand and he looks over from the counter at the man who had known him since the days at the academy. It had been a stroke of luck to run into his old friend and he enjoyed having breaks with him. “You know you live in a hot neighborhood. I wouldn’t give up that place for anything. If you put out the word that you will take one on, I bet roommates will be lining up.” “A roommate, huh?” Marcus doesn’t hate the idea, but he doesn’t love it either. His house is his space to unwind and some people are weird about federal agents. “I think I would probably be more comfortable with someone who works in law enforcement.” He admits. “Wouldn’t have to squabble about guns in the house.”

You sigh as you walk into the break room, phone in hand as you absorb another missed out opportunity for an apartment. Nearly every ad you’ve answered has already been taken. The government newbies are snapping them up and you curse your ex boyfriend for owning his house and kicking you out after he cheated on you. You are couch surfing at best right now, struggling to find a room, let alone an apartment. Everything is expensive as hell and you are close to giving up. “Everything okay?” Marcus, your sweet department head Marcus, asks and you shake your head, slumping down in the chair opposite him.

“No. My ex cheats on me, kicks me out, and I’m left struggling to find a place to live.”

“You're looking for a place to live?” Marcus straightens up and stares at you. Unsure why he didn’t know about this, but he doesn’t expect you to pour out your life story to him if you don’t want to. “I-“

“Marcus was just saying that he needed a roommate.” Bryan butts in, shooting his friend a grin and raising his brows. “Some would call that provenance.”

Your eyes widen, “you have a room?” You ask.

Marcus nods, “yeah. It’s a townhouse. Has two en-suites and a third bedroom I use as an office. Was supposed to be for me and my fiancée but that - it didn’t work out. You want it? I need someone to help out with the bills, place ain’t cheap.” He shakes his head and you instantly nod. Marcus is a kind man, a sweetheart, and yet he’s very straight forward. You know he will be a great roommate/landlord and you desperately need somewhere.

“I’ll take it.” You tell him and he chuckles, “I haven’t told you how much it is.”

You shake your head, “I can’t imagine it’s more than what some of these assholes want. I’ll take your room…if you are okay with that?”

He’s theoretically your boss but you work more on the technical side of the department so that it wouldn’t be a problem. He would make sure that it was noted with HR, but he finds himself nodding. “It’s furnished.” He warns you, having bought a second bedroom set for when his parents visited or Teresa’s family came. Not that it mattered now. His parents can get a hotel and it was more important that his team member has a safe place to sleep. “But you can change anything you want. I can put it in storage if you have your own furniture.”

“No. I, uh, shamefully I only have a couple of suitcases. I got rid of my furniture when I moved into my ex’s. Thought it was forever so what was the point of putting a sofa in storage? Anyway, I really appreciate it, Marcus. When can I move in?” You ask, biting your lip. You’ve definitely overstayed where you currently are.

Marcus knows that you do need to talk about rules and bills but he sees the desperation in your eyes. “Tonight’s good with me.” He offers immediately. “Why don’t you bring your stuff over and we can have dinner, talk everything through.” He suggests. “Get a tour of the place. If you don’t like it, you can always stay until you find a place you like better.”

You nod, excited and anxious, but so so happy to have somewhere to live. “That sounds great. Seriously, thank you so much Marcus. I really appreciate this. You, uh, want to text me your address and I’ll come over after work. I’ll bring dinner. Chinese food?” You ask, knowing what he likes from when you’ve done mass orders for the office during those late night cases.

“No problem.” He chuckles and pulls out his phone. “I’ll leave early and make sure that I’ve not left dirty clothes everywhere.” He’s joking. He’s actually pretty neat, a fact that had driven his college roommate crazy but his ex-wife had liked it. “Chinese is fine, unless you want me to cook?”

You shake your head, “no. No. Tonight is on me. I just - thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it.” You say as you stand up, picking up your coffee cup just as your phone dings. “I’ll see you after work. Thank you.” You can’t help it, you walk around the table and place a quick kiss on his cheek before you rush out the door.

Even though it was unprofessional for you to have done that, Marcus flushes and rubs his cheek gently.

“Oh shit, I know that look.” Bryan hoots. “Someones interested.”

“No.” Marcus insists, shaking his head. “She is going to be my roommate.” He huffs, making his friend chuckle and lean back, “if you say so.”

“I say so.” Marcus can only hope that you don’t regret this. Especially because his first thought had been you were so pretty when you lit up with a happy smile.

****

Armed with Chinese food and your cases, you pull up outside the address Marcus gave you. There’s street parking which is amazing and you decide to leave your cases in the car, carrying the take out up the steps to ring the doorbell. You’re nervous but you know Marcus is a good guy, even if he’s handsome and kind and - no. He’s your landlord, your roommate. Nothing more. You gotta stop thinking of him. He’s just a friend.

“Shit.” Marcus had only been slightly joking when he said he would rush home and make sure the house was put to rights. The bed in the second suite hadn’t had sheets on it, and he needed to make sure the towels were put in the other en-suite’s bathroom since he hadn’t had guests yet. Having a roommate would be good for him.

He wipes his hand on his pants before he opens the first door of the townhouse and sees you outside the other doors. The small atrium was perfect for bad weather and he locked them both for extra security. “Hey.” He smiles as he opens the door. “I see you found it okay.”

You nod, “it’s such a nice neighborhood. I love the outside too. Great choice.” You admire the atrium and follow him inside. The wood floors are beautiful and you step into the hallway, carrying the Chinese food. “You - you have a gorgeous home, Marcus. Wow. You sure you wanna share it?” You tease him, turning to find him locking the front door.

“Honestly? I have to.” He admits with a chuckle. “I make good money, but not that good.” He could technically afford it, but it stretched his budget more than he liked. “Besides, it’s way too big for just me. It’s better to give you a place to stay too, right?”

You nod, “I don’t argue your reasons. I’m so happy to have somewhere to call home ever since my damn ex cheated. Really sucks when you put all your eggs in one basket and they fuck you over.” You huff and shake your head, looking down at the box in your hands. “I bought food. Hope you’re hungry.”

“Starving.” He grins and motions you further into the house. “My kitchen is your kitchen.” He tells you playfully as he leads you through the living and dining room. The townhouse has been completely redone, leaving the charm and still modernizing it beautifully. “If you want, I’ve got beer or a bottle of wine. There’s also water or tea if you prefer that.”

“Beer sounds good.” You tell him, knowing you’ll buy some tomorrow. You will need to go over rules and bills but right now, you’re just so happy to have someone for the foreseeable. You set the food down on the counter and take a note of where he pulls the plates out from. “I love the kitchen. I cook so we can share that responsibility. Make sure we have a homemade meal at least a few times a week.”

“That sounds good.” Marcus nods, turning back to the fridge to pull out two beers. “I like cooking but it never seemed worth it for just me, you know?” He hands you the beer and watches as you pull out the cartons. “After dinner, I’ll show you the bedroom and you can see how you like it? Or we can look at it now if you prefer?”

“Yeah. That sounds good.” You reach out to take his hand after he sets the beer door in front of you. “I really mean it, I appreciate it.” You tell him, unsure of what you would’ve done if you hadn’t heard him in the break room.

He nods, blushing and getting bashful and that confirms you made the right choice. Some men would be demanding you get down onto your knees and show them just how thankful you are. “Let’s eat.” Marcus says, setting down the chopsticks and you nod, digging into the food.

Dinner is easy, both of you apparently hungry as you chow down. After a few bites, Marcus takes a swallow of his beer. “So one thing, I hope you don’t take offense to it, but I’m thinking that if we have overnight ‘guests’, we give the other to the courtesy of a heads up?” He asks. “That way we aren’t surprised when some random half naked person wanders into the kitchen in the middle of the night?”

You nod, swallowing your bite, and you hate the way your stomach twists when you think about walking in to someone who spent the night in Marcus’s bed. “Yeah. Of course. I think any overnight guests we give each other a heads up. I doubt you’ll be getting too many heads up from me. I- I’ve been knocked back by my ex. I’m gonna reset and enjoy some time to myself.” You admit before taking another sip of beer.

“We have that in common.” Marcus nods and sighs. “It’s been- I’ve decided the same thing. Work on myself before involving someone else in my bullshit.” He gives a small shrug and spears a piece of garlic chicken. “So you don’t have to worry about that from me.”

“Looks like the only action this townhouse is gonna get will be movies.” You tease, taking another bite. “I do miss having someone to watch shows with. Or go get breakfast on the weekend. Stupid things like that…when they’re gone, it makes you feel so alone.”

“God yes.” Marcus groans. “I’m so fucking sick of the looks of pity when I go eat by myself.” He rolls his eyes. “Plus you know my work, it can be crazy hours. You’re right there too.”

“You’re down for brunch then?” You smirk and he nods, “hell yes.” You lean back in your seat to look at him, “I think this is the beginning of something truly wonderful, Pike.” He winks at you and you try to ignore the way your heart flutters.

After dinner, you help clear up and Marcus grabs your suitcases from your car, carrying them up to the second bedroom. “Oh I love this.” You smile, admiring the simple furniture but the view looks out at the small park across the street. “Seriously, you picked a great house.” You tell him again.

“Thanks.” He smiles, blushing slightly. “I, uh, I’ll leave you to get settled in. I’ll set you up a code for the alarm and get you my spare key in the morning. I’m across the hall if you need anything.”

You walk over to him as he hovers in the hall, leaning in to kiss his cheek again. “Seriously Marcus, you have no clue how grateful I am for this. Thank you.” You murmur and he blushes, stepping back after you walk back into the room.

“Stop saying thank you.” He teases, “goodnight.”

You smile at him, “goodnight, Pike.”

****

It’s been nearly six months of living together. Six months of dinners and sometimes brunches out. Splitting the bills and both of you comfortable in the town house. You had started adding things that you wanted, the electric wine bottle opener was amazing and he didn’t mind the candles you bought. He, however, is going insane. The growing attraction to you is bordering on cruel and he’s honestly happy that he’s got to work late tonight. Needing to not get caught up in the romance of the date with his pretty and kind roommate.

“Hey.” He greets you when You pick up your office phone. “Something’s come up and it looks like I’m pulling a late night.” He chuckles sarcastically, “it’s a good thing I don’t have a date or anything for Valentine’s Day, huh?”

You smile against the phone, hating that you’re happy that Marcus doesn’t have a date. He’s been on a few since you lived in his townhouse and you hated it. Sitting on the sofa all night, counting down until he came home. It’s pathetic really how much you want him. You think about him all the time. Sure, you thought he was handsome but after spending night after night with Marcus, getting to know him (even his little quirks like his comic collection and the way he constantly loses his glasses), you are ridiculously in love with him. He’s working late and you don’t have a date so you decide to treat yourself.

You have new lingerie you ordered because it was pretty so you are going to put that on and have fun with the new toy you bought. It was ridiculous how anxious you were to have it delivered to the house without Marcus accidentally opening it. “I don’t have a date either but I’m just gonna have a relaxing night in. Face mask, chocolate, and a cheesy movie sound perfect to me. Just let me know when you’re on your way home and we can figure out dinner.”

“No problem. I’ll talk to you later.” Marcus tells you before hanging up the phone. He wishes he could just go home and do those things with you, but someone fucked up royally and it was his job to find it and fix the mess. Sighing slightly, he looks at the stack of files on his desk and picks up the first one to get started.

Only a few hours after everyone else rushed out early to get ready for their romantic evenings, Marcus is practically flying out of the building. Finding the mistake hadn’t taken as much time as he feared and all he could think of was getting home to you.

It’s crazy how much he loves you being there, how much you seem to have in common. You’re perfect for him and he’s dangerously close to falling in love with you. He taps on the wheel as he drives towards home, forgetting to call you in his excitement to be there. Figuring that you will just decide together once he gets home and changes. A night on the couch with you and takeout sounds better than battling for a seat in a restaurant anyway.

You are spread out on your bed, moaning softly when you think about Marcus. The new glass dildo you bought yourself is pushed deep inside of you. You’re in no rush to cum tonight, deciding to work yourself up. Your fingers lightly trace your clit and you enjoy the slow build up of pleasure, your wand on the side for when you need to cum. “Oh that’s good.” You moan to yourself, imagining it’s Marcus pushing into you. You are absorbed in the pleasure, you don’t hear the front door opening or the footsteps coming up the stairs.

Marcus goes through his routine, dropping keys, depositing his shoes and finally trudging up the stairs. He’s left his suit coat downstairs because he knows he needs to take it to the dry cleaner this weekend, but before he goes to his bedroom, he decides to knock on your door and poke his head in. Both of you had gotten into the habit, so it’s nothing new.

“Hey, I’m ho-“ stopping immediately as he eyes widen at the sight of you spread out on your bed wearing the sexiest thing he’s ever seen in his life and a dildo stretching your cunt out. “Fuck.” He gasps, immediately starting to harden in his dress pants.

You gasp, sitting up in shock and pulling the dildo out of you. Shit, you didn’t expect Marcus to be home yet and you didn’t hear him. Fuck, you didn’t hear him. Embarrassed and wondering what the fuck to say. You then look down at his pants, smirking when you see the tent starting to form and the dark look in his eyes. “You wanna sit down and watch?” You ask boldly.

He shouldn’t. He should apologize and go to his own room and take a very cold shower. But he’s tired of that. He’s tired of doing what he should. So instead of doing that, Marcus nods, walking into the room and sitting down at the end of your bed. He won’t touch you, you didn’t say he could, but if you’re going to let him watch - he’s going to watch. “Fuck, push it back inside you.” He groans.

You obey his demand, pushing the toy back inside of you with a whimper. “Fuck.” You pant, chest heaving as your walls take the toy. It’s not enough to make you cum but it’s enough to make you moan his name by accident, realizing what you just did, your eyes widen.

“Fuck.” Marcus leans closer and pants, watching you move the dildo in and out of your fluttering cunt. “Does that feel good baby, that dildo filling you up like you need?” He’s never been shy about watching porn, never felt dirty about it and this is like his own private show.

“It’s not enough. I can’t - it’s good but it’s not what I need.” You whine and he leans closer, wanting to touch you but keeping back. “I need you Marcus. Please. You want - you want to taste first?” You offer, pulling the toy out of you and you sit up to hold it towards him. It glistens with your arousal, you haven’t cum yet and you want more, you want him.

He groans, wanting nothing more than to taste you. His tongue slides around the toy, moaning at the tangy taste of your arousal off the glass toy. Licking your essence off of it before you pull it away. “You want me to touch you, baby? Replace that toy inside your pussy?” He’s growling at the idea in pleasure, wanting you for so long as he reaches down and palms himself through his pants. “I need you to say the words.”

You know this crosses so many lines but fuck, you need him. “Yes. Please Marcus. I need you to do something, anything.” You beg, tossing the toy down on your sheets and you reach behind you to unclasp your bra, shoving it down your arms to reveal your tits to his hungry gaze. “Please baby. I want you.”

Marcus immediately reaches for you, wanting to touch you for so long. Fingers sliding through your folds and flicking over your clit before he moves them down to push two fingers deep into your pussy and curl them up with a groan of your name. “So fucking tight, baby girl.”

You gasp when his fingers push deep again and you whimper when his thumb presses against your clit. “Oh God. That’s - you feel so much better.” You moan, squeezing your tits as he curls his fingers inside of you. “Marcus, baby. Oh - you have no idea how many times I’ve imagined this.”

Marcus groans, cock throbbing in his pants and he quickly pumps his fingers in and out of you. “Me too, fuck, wanted to fuck you so many times. Imagined it while I was jerking off.” He confesses, watching you grope your tits and he knows he wants you to cum before he fucks you. “Wanted to spread you out.”

You can’t stop the moans escaping your lips. So many nights of being silent due to you smothering your sounds so Marcus didn’t hear. Now, you don’t have to do that. “Always - always wondered what those thick fingers would be like inside of me. Would watch when you’d lick them while eating. So fucking sexy. You are so sexy, Marcus, and you don’t even realize it.” You pant out, knowing that makes him even sexier. Your walls flutter around his fingers, thumb rubbing your clit and you’re so close to cumming.

“You’re so fucking sexy.” He counters, groaning as he feels your walls flutter. “That’s it, fuck, wanting you to cum all over my hand.” He coos, rubbing your clit harder. “Cum for me and I’ll fuck you. I’ll make sure you feel soooo fucking good, honey.” He promises. “Wanna see it, wanna feel it.” He knows he will remember this right here for a long fucking time. Even if it was a one time thing, he won’t regret it. Not when you are whimpering his name like that.

Your mouth falls open, vision going hazy as you clamp down on his fingers. A strangled whine escapes your lips as you gush around his digits, loving how good his fingers feel inside of you. “Fuckkkk Marc.” You pant, eyes squeezed shut as you keep his fingers inside of you with a tight grip, loving how good you feel with the pleasure surging through you.

He keeps applying the pressure until you go limp and then he’s pulling his fingers free. Rushing as he scrambles off the bed to pull his clothes off. Frantic to get inside you and fuck you like he’s imagined a hundred times before. Throwing his clothes on the floor and wrapping his fingers around his cock to pump it a few times as he kneels on the bed between your legs. “Fuck, I- you look so good.” He moans, gathering your legs up and shuffling closer to sink into you as quickly as he can.

“Fucking hell.” You gasp at the sight of his hard cock. So fucking beautiful with the veins running along the length, the head cut and pooling with precum. “Fuck baby. Fuck me.” You beg, rubbing your thighs as you grow more impatient to have him inside of you.

Marcus doesn’t need to be told twice. He swipes the head through your folds once before he’s pushing inside you with a loud groan. Hotter than you have any right to be and twice as fucking tight, he keeps rolling his hips forward until he’s seated all the way inside you, eyes fluttering as if he were in prayer and he moans your name.

Your mouth falls open in a silent moan as he stretches you out. God, he feels incredible inside of you and you trail your hands along his forearms up to his shoulders and down his chest while he gives you a moment to adjust. “We should’ve done this sooner.” You gasp when his cock twitches inside of you and you instinctively clench around him.

“Yessss.” He hisses, gritting his teeth together so he doesn’t blow his load right there. “We- we should have.” He grunts, waiting until you are grabbing onto his arms. He pulls his hips back and starts to thrust into you with rough, needy strokes. He’s wanted you too much to be slow and gentle. Grunting when he bottoms out inside you again.

You moan, enjoying the way Marcus thrusts into you. You know you aren't going to cum from this alone but you are enjoying it. You've already cum on his fingers which is more than you can say for your exes. You caress his chest, loving the look on his face as he fucks into you, almost pussy drunk and you feel so fucking sexy because of it.

The pace stays as harsh and fast as he can possibly make it. Watching your face as you take every thrust, he starts to slow when he doesn’t feel you clenching around him. “What’s wrong?” He pants, holding himself up and he slides his hands up your legs on his shoulders. “Is- do you want to stop?”

You shake your head, "no. No. Don't stop baby. Don't stop. I want you to cum." You tell him, reaching for his hands to squeeze them.

Marcus frowns, "but I want you to cum too."

You smile, grateful that he's so sweet. "It's okay. I can't - penetration doesn't get me off. It's how it is for me. I am happy to watch you cum and it feels good. I promise, I will be satisfied. I've already cum on your fingers."

Marcus shakes his head, unhappy with your answer, looking over at the wand laying on your bed and he picks it up. You must be a clitoral stimulation type of girl. “No baby, I want you to cum on my cock,” he hums, turning it on. “Doesn’t matter how you cum, I just want you to cum again.” He spreads your thighs wider so he can press it to your clit. He doesn’t care about needing toys to help out, he’s always thought of them as his partners for pleasuring the woman he’s with.

You moan when he presses the toy to your clit, making you clench around his cock still buried inside of you. “Yes, that’s - God. That’s it. Move for me baby.” You demand, wanting to feel him moving inside of you. His cock feels so good combined with the wand, making you moan as his hips start to move.

“Feel good?” He asks and you nod, “so damn good.”

Marcus groans, rocking his hips as he holds the wand to your clit. Watching the pleasure bloom over your face again. You can’t cum from penetration, he files that away to remember. Knowing that he wants to do this for as long as you want to. “Fuck you’re so pretty.” He groans. “I’ll make you cum on my face next time.” He promises as he works his cock in and out of your tight walls.

You gasp when he hits something deep inside of you, making you gush around him. The toy is pressed just right against your clit and you sigh his name as you get closer to your orgasm. “I- fuck. You’re gonna make me cum.” You moan, rocking your hips up to meet his. “I’m so close.” You pant, head tilting back against your pillows.

“Cum baby.” Marcus urges you, keeping the wand against your clit to give you the pleasure you need. Thrusting into you as he looks down, feeling your walls start to pulse around him. “Cum for me baby, show me how that pussy feels when you cum.”

You can’t deny him even if you wanted to. It’s impossible. You choke on your own breath as you cum, clamping down on his cock and soaking him with your cum. “Fuckkkk.” You finally rasp out, eyes rolling into the back of your head and your thighs shake against his chest, the pleasure dragged out by the wand and his cock working you through it.

When he finally pulls the wand away from your clit, Marcus goes feral. Shoving your legs higher on his shoulders, he groans as he starts ramming himself into you at a breakneck pace. Needing to cum and wanting to use the hot cum that that gushed around him to make it even slicker. “Fuck- fuck- where?” He manages to spit out, forgetting that he hadn’t asked a question about birth control.

“Inside. It’s safe. I- I have an IUD. Please Marcus. Wanna feel you.” You beg, loving the way he is thrusting into you like a mad man. He’s unhinged and it almost, almost, has you ready to cum again.

The mere thought of being able to cum inside you pushes him over the edge. He rocks his hips another three times before he groans your name harshly and pushes as deep as he can - wanting to be as deep as possible. Painting your walls with every grunt of pleasure.

You love watching him, the way his jaw clenches, the muscles in his neck pulling taunt, and his eyes squeezed shut. “So good baby. I love it. Love being filled up by you.” You coo, caressing his cheeks and down his neck until your palm is over his thumping heart.

“Shit.” Marcus groans, feeling relaxed and exhausted. Exhilarated by the fact that his cock is softening inside you and he knows what you look like when you cum. Except he hasn’t kissed you. Sliding your legs off his shoulders gently, he moves them to his waist so he can lean in and press his lips to yours. Closing his eyes as he tries to catch his breath.

You sigh into the kiss, running your fingers through his hair while your legs wrap around his waist to pull him closer. “That was - it’s insane how long I’ve wanted that.” You admit shyly when he pulls back from you.

“Fuck I wanted to do that too,” he can’t help lean in again, nuzzling into your neck and dropping kisses over your dewy skin. “I- I’m sorry I just walked in, I should have knocked.” He offers, even though he’s happy he’s where he’s at. Politeness dictates an apology at least.

“Don’t apologize, Marcus.” You snort, caressing his shoulders. “I have wanted you since I moved in. I- I really hate to mess up the roommate thing but…but I think I’m in love with you.” You admit, biting your lip as you wait for his reaction.

Marcus stares at you for a moment, unable to believe that his dreams come true and he hasn’t done anything to get what he wanted. “Hey-“ he shakes his head and offers you a grin. “Then that’s good. I won’t seem crazy asking you to move in with me.” He jokes, leaning in and pressing his lips to yours gently. “I think I’m in love with you too, baby.” He confesses against your lips.

You can't help but grin, heart thumping and you almost feel dizzy with happiness. the man you love loves you back. "I hate to break it to you babe but I have already moved in with you.

Marcus shakes his head, "I mean my room. I want to share a room with you, sleep in the same bed." He murmurs, pulling back to look at you. It's sweet and you immediately agree, knowing you'll likely end up there every night anyway.

"I'd like that." You smile and he grins in response. "Oh, Happy Valentine's Day." You coo, "I thought I was gonna be lonely and single today but I ended up with a boyfriend." You say cautiously, hoping that's what he wants.

"Never thought I'd finish the day with a girlfriend." He says and you lean in to kiss him. "Happy Valentine's Day baby." Marcus murmurs, caressing your cheek. It was certainly one he won't forget.
