#and just... they're soulmates guys they need eachother

[punkeropercyjackson]

My personal interpretation of Hobie's relathionships with the rest of the Atsv cast

Miles:They're so boyfriend and girlfriend-coded,this isn't a joke but me saying Miles is a transfem egg and Hobie's extremely transmasc-coded so my conclusion is obvious.Jamaican trans punk dude who's actually a huge softie and his cute lil afrolatina trans pastel punk sunshine gf who kicks ass

Gwen:They're lowkey convuluted in the movie and by extra official info so i just go with whatever LOL.Siblings!Ghost Punk and romantic Ghostpunk are equally good but i only like the latter with my half white afrolatina lightskin Gwen headcanon because Hobie shouldn't be dating white girls

Pavitr:Chai Punk Brothers my beloved.I like it romantically too but hate most of the fan content so i'm a bit sour on it but trying to be open-minded.Y'all who include him in the Ghostpunkflower polycule but not Margo are sick though

Margo:Super close besties and him and her and Gwen were actually trio pre-Atsv until Miles came along and they formed the full on Spiderband.Punkbyte is 10000000/10 ship too and we need way more of it

Peni:Siblingisms and i'm not against them romantically because Peni's the same age as Margo but i only ship Peni with Hazel from Pjo as lesbian soulmates by choice(they're basically lesbian!Ghostflower honestly)

Gayatri:Chill friends who're important to eachother and like with Pavitr i like the ship but sour on it due to fan content(Gayatri as nothing but a love interest needs to Die)

Miguel:Uptight pseudo-dad and rebellious teenage pseudo-son

Jessica:The cooler Miles and Peter B(including that Hobie actually views Jessica as his mom and Jessica sees Hobie as her son back)

Peter B:Entirely neutral on eachother tbh but they do get along

Miles G:He's the ONE Miles that's not into Hobie and Hobie's fine with that but Miles G likes being a bitch to him so he gets payback by flirting with Miles in front of him to piss him and even kissed her in front of him once and Miles G almost jumped his ass

Noir:Likes him well enough but dosen't actively seek him out because their personality styles are too different

Jefferson:That one meme of black guys on their tippy toes and doing a secret handshake thingy i can't fucking find it but it's Jefferson and Hobie core

Rio:

TELL US YOUR IDEAS WE ARE HERE FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL MIND ‼️‼️‼️

i had another cheating au cause im insane..... married to art AGAIN but you find out hes having an affair with PATRICK - who you've only heard of - you met art after college when they'd fallen off. they'd reconnected sometime later without your knowledge. and the thing is art is in love with you, like completely, patrick just..... he has a way about him. a way that you get familiar with when you confront him about the affair - ready to tell him off, yell at him, slap him, beg him to leave art alone - only for you to end up legs up in his bed with his tongue on your pussy. so now you and art are BOTH cheating - with the same guy. and neither of you are confessing, but there's a noticeable shift in your relationship - the sex is more intense - art is rougher - you're more demanding about what you need. patrick - honesty his motive is a mystery atm. i know he has feelings for art - idk if he has feelings for reader yet, and is just fucking her as a form of revenge against art, because art will never leave you for patrick, so patrick might as well fuck you too. he might develop feelings, though. the more he gets to know you. and then he doesn't know what to do about the situation. you're both using him. he's using both of you. you're all using eachother and he realizes hes the one in control. the power to blow up your happy little life with art is in his hands.

my other au is kinda evil..... we talk about stepcest alot but i was thinking of a kind of evil step!mom reader. a blatant gold digger, way younger than your husband. married to either art or patricks dad i haven't decided but you're not that much older than them. and the old man you married..... hardly satisfies you in bed. its a good thing his hot athlete son is just a few rooms down. a freshman in college - he still isn't as well versed in pleasuring a woman as he'd like to be. you're horny and bored. its manipulative and cruel, the way you seduce him and use him to satiate your own sexual needs. you dont care if he has little girlfriends or does his own thing - as long as when he visits home - he knows mommy's pussy is top priority.

underground fighter patrick...... need him in a boxing ring with one of those gaurd things in his mouth - and seeing him spit out blood and just viciously pound people into the ground. but its not offical boxing because his parents would never accept that kind of life - he uses tennis as a surface level thing - but fighting is his passion. you get into it because your boyfriend ends up going against patrick and hes kinda shitty to you but you're there to support him regardless. of course patrick beats him. and you're kinda in love. but shit, you're in deep with your boyfriends little gang and it'd be trouble for you to cheat on him - especially with a pretty boy like patrick zweig. but he makes eye contact with you later. and its kinda soulmatism.

another is patashi cruel intentions..... except they aren't step siblings, they're on and off, the campus' power couple essentially. and you're the new deans daughter - the new dean that got tashi expelled for doing coke in the bathroom. so she wants revenge naturally! and who better to recruit than her sometimes boyfriend - always fuckbuddy, patrick zweig. its perfect. he'll seduce you, take your virginity, and then break your heart! ruin your reputation when it gets out what you let patrick do to you - and it'll ruin the deans reputation too. truly, a perfect plan!

All the people arguing about whether Steve would care more about Robin or care more about Eddie, who he'd be closest to, who he would prioritize? You guys are all missing the goddamn point.

Robin is Steve's best friend, she's his platonic soulmate. Robin reads Steve in a way other people can't, they know how to make eachother laugh in the exact way they need, they're matching puzzle pieces that finish a picture. They rely on eachother and they make the most sense together.

Eddie is the love of Steve's life. Eddie always seems to know when Steve needs a loving touch, when he needs to be held. The two fo them talk in away they don't quite talk to anybody else, quiet whispers about the future. They're the cream in eachothers coffee, they make eachother better, happier. They make eachother want to improve.

Steve loves Robin and Eddie both entirely, all-consumingly. Just in different ways. They fill different spaces in his life, because that's how romantic and platonic relationships work. There's overlap here and there, obviously there is, but ultimately they are Steve's whole world in their own unique ways.

[humblefryingpan]

I love the Percy Jackson series but almost every canon relationship is so shit (including percabeth) and I think there's like 2 I don't have issues with. If the relationship is well written then there are loads of issues and if it's badly written (like most of them are) there isn't an improvement.

This is specifically about the romantic ones but the platonic ones aren't much better, most of them are really underdeveloped or just ignored. And ofc the constant "they're best friends!" about two characters that never talk or act like they hate eachother, I might make a separate post about them.

So let's start with Calleo (Calypso and Leo) because they are arguably the worst.

At a base level, I never liked it bc it came out of nowhere and made no sense but like I've thought about it a lot and it's such a flawed pairing. There's the age gap, the dynamic and just the way they're treated as soulmates despite not knowing eachother at all

I've seen a bunch of people saying she was good for him because of how 'badly' his friends treated him but honestly she treated him a lot worse. Jokingly calling your friends annoying can be a bit mean when you overdo it but I don't think Leo was ever actually upset by it, most of his sadness was from trauma, his existing fears and the stress he was under with the prophecy. And if your argument is "Calypso was the nicest person to him" then remember Calypso also called him annoying, plus she yelled at him constantly and treated him worse than they did.

And getting a girlfriend would not be good for him considering his issues with self love. He did want a girlfriend but I don't think he should have got with someone, and in my opinion he especially should not have been with Calypso.

Leo could have been literally any guy for her. She's met thousands of men, she's fallen 'in love' with all of them (we know that because they can't leave unless she loves them) and then she's cursed them/their gfs when they leave (she cursed annabeth in tartarus). I think if Leo did get a girlfriend it should have been someone that actually liked him and not just liking what he could do for her.

Yeah Leo was the first guy to go back but he had to kill himself to see her and you should not need to destroy yourself for anyone, and definitely not someone you've known for like 3 days. Leo wanted to save her because he didn't think it was fair she was left there and took the time to help because he felt obligated and he felt bad for her. He was not the only person to try to help, just the only person that was physically able to.

I don't really like Calypso but I'm not saying she is the entire problem, she needed to be around other people. She needed to be free, she just wanted a boyfriend because that was the only option she felt she had. Calleo would not last very long realistically because I don't think either of them specifically wanted eachother.

And onto my biggest issue with this ship - Leo is 15 years old. Calypso is as old as the gods and should not be dating a teenager. In actual mythology (it's quite different but she's still based on and inspired by regular Calypso) Calypso forcibly kept Odysseus on her island for 7 years, raped him multiple times and forced him to have 2 kids with her. Ofc that was changed a lot and pjo Calypso isn't a rapist but why the fuck would Rick take that character and stick her with a 15 year old?

If she's old enough to spend 7 years with Odysseus and old enough to have met a thousand people she's way too old for Leo (like she is thousands of years old and is a daughter of atlas, it doesn't matter if she looks 16). Even if you want to argue that she gave up immortality, she gave it up when she had already been alive for a very very long time and like even if she wasn't immortal she'd be at least 18 because percy, two years before Leo met her said she looked 16 so a human Calypso is also an adult woman trying to date multiple 15 year olds.

They would have been great as friends but Rick was determined to get both of them paired up with anyone so it was the only solution he ever would've gone for.

Next up is frazel (Frank/Hazel) because again, age gap??

There should not be two characters dating minors in one book Rick, please do better.

So Frank is 16 and starts dating Hazel when she is 13. "Frank only just turned 16" yeah but 15 and 13 isn't much better, "Hazel is close to 14" okay but again, 14 and 16 is not okay either.

"it's only 2/3 years" that age gap in adults is totally fine and generally completely unimportant but these are teenagers and when your brain isn't fully developed an age gap of just a few years is pretty important. A three year age gap is the difference between a newborn who can't crawl or say a word and a three year old that can run around and talk almost full sentances. Adults with that gap are the same point in life, the same developmental stage but teens aren't. I'm around Franks age and every single 13 year old I've met has looked about 8 to me. Yesterday a 13 year old girl came into my part time job and started singing the beauty and the beast soundtrack because she saw a red rose and there was no point where I thought "yeah that's hot" because that's a little kid?

And Rick won't give that kid a break because there's also Lazel (Leo/Hazel)

The weird love triangle thing? Because she dated his great grandad?? It was so unnecessary and icky and I swear the only reason that it happened was that Rick didn't know how to flesh out their characters.

Leo hit on every single person without fail and then he reached Hazel who was essentially saying "I have a bf but we could be together if you act nicely"

And they both just kinda suck in every scene, Leo harasses her and then she leads him on (I hate saying that phrase but I do think that's what's happening here) and that just loops.

I just wish Hazel could be single yk? She's 13, she does not need to be in a relationship with anybody??

Next up Jasper/Jiper (Jason/Piper) because who actually likes them

So their relationship was never real in the first place, their memories were altered. But then Piper is so possessive over him and bitchy to anyone who wasn't Jason (like that scene where Percy got hurt and she was like "I feel bad for annabeth but I'm glad it was him and not Jason" wtf was that?)

Considering their entire relationship was a lie and Jason was essentially claimed as hers the second they met, I don't understand why they stayed together. I assumed they had "broke up" when they were at camp because like they didn't know eachother at all (not even an entire day, Jason had a few minutes with her) and weren't trying to talk it out. And then I read moa and literally thought I missed a book bc "why and when tf did they start dating"

They were written so badly and in my opinion they only ever brought out the worst in each other (Piper acting even more 'pick-me-girl-y' than normal and Jason just being far more confused and guilty than normal) because Jason did not know this girl and they never actually spoke about it.

I get why Piper was upset about everything, it is a really shitty situation and that would be real hard to deal with. But the possessiveness and bitchiness drove me crazy and I honestly thinks it's selfish to stay in that relationship.

In all of their ship moments it's just so tacky, you can see how desperate and pushy Piper is and how uncomfortable Jason is. It's like he pities her a lot of the time.

Y'all might be mad about this one but onto Percabeth (Percy/Annabeth)

They were a pretty great pair and in the original series I did like them but then hoo hit and they became fully codependent and so out of character. It was like they weren't Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase anymore, they were just Percabeth. They'd say the most ooc shit ever and then throw in a "seaweed brain" and everyone acted like it was sweet scene.

The way she'd just ask him for help every time she has an issue, the way he was so insistent on looking after her? Yeah the scene where Annabeth threw her knife into the water was cute but Annabeth Chase, the girl full of hubris, anger issues and fight training would never rely on Percy to fight her battles. It was like Rick forgot her personality and just went "yeah she's Percy's smart gf" as if she hadn't been training twice as long as he had

The original series and chalice of the gods had them both pretty in character but I think the love story aspect really took over their lives as soon as they got together.

I've noticed loads of Percabeth fans get really angry when people don't like them but I just think they were so much better as friends and I rlly don't get the hype.

I think both of them just really needed a good friend and I was pretty disappointed when I realized they liked eachother (I didn't realize until Annabeth got mad at Rachel) because I'd always just seen their relationship as platonic yk?

That's probably just me being dense and seeing it how I wanted it to be but I wish more pjo fans would stop acting as if they were the cutest ideal couple. Percabeth fans getting really angry at every other ship involving one of them? Hating Rachel just because she likes Percy? Its so unnecessary

It isn't a bad ship but it wasn't written very well and I think dating erased a lot of their personalities and lives.

Next up is Solangelo (Nico/Will)

So I love these two and I don't think there's much wrong with them but I do think it was very rushed.

If you haven't noticed by this point, I really think Rick put less effort into the characters in heroes of olympus, there were some great scenes and I love the series but a lot of the relationships were written so badly and it felt like he was trying to hard to push the romance, rather than the fantasy/adventure part that he seems a lot better at

I think almost every solangelo fic I've read had been better written, the only reason they were together is Rick's insistance of getting every teenager in a romantic relationship. They met, argued and killed a guy and then Will complimented him. And they were cute but the next we heard from them should've been their relationship growing and not just "that's my boyfriend"

Onto Piper and Shel

So these two felt the most forced out of everyone. It seems like Rick just didn't want Piper to be single, forgot she wasn't in the later books and had to think of something quickly. This is mostly about Piper because Shel is barely even a character, she's just there to show Piper 'moving on' and to show she likes girls.

I don't care that Piper likes girls, I do too, and I would've loved that if we actually got that storyline. But it's clearly forced diversity rather than actually planning her to be that way, and it doesn't feel natural at all. We go from her obsessively pining over Jason to her dumping him to her seemingly wanting him back and after all that I was expecting them to get back together or at least for them to spend some time single to move on but the next time we see Piper she's kissing her girlfriend?

I've seen a lot of people saying that's why she was so desperate to stay with Jason and that that's why their relationship seemed kinda fake but if you read her perspective it really doesn't seem like that's the case. I think calling her a lesbian takes away quite a bit of her personality (like can't she be bi? pan? something that stays accurate to the character??) because absolutely, lesbians can have relationships with men before they figure themselves out but that isn't what happened.

It seems like Piper wasn't over Jason at all and I think dating Shel was her way of trying to move on. (Because whatever chance she had with Jason is obviously gone, her rizz is strong but death is stronger) It's not like I want her to spend the rest of her life alone and sad, but I would've loved some character development that wasn't just shoving her out of the closet. She wasn't over Jason but then he died and she suddenly has a girlfriend? How long were they together??

Like I thought Piper was bi for a while but the way it was written seemed so much like a "her boyfriend left so she's gay now!" rather than the semi-closeted bi mess that she was probably meant to be.

Lastly Gruniper (Grover and Juniper)

The only relationship that isn't weirdly codependent and it's because Rick blatantly forgot about her. Grover liked someone else in chalice of the gods? He was fully ready to cheat on her throughout the book

And just? Why were they ever together?? The first time we meet juniper its through her being Grovers gf. Grover was super underdeveloped as a character, as a friend and as a boyfriend because characters that weren't in relationships got no development but Juniper was literally mentioned less than Rachel's parents. We don't know when where or why they got together, we don't know when they met we don't know ANYTHING about their relationship

[dave2olkat]

Some plot ideas I have for Gold Pilot (The Davesolkat Time Loop Rebellion AU):

The MAGE ~ATH code, aka, the thing that causes the time loop, can send either someone's mind or a physical item to the next iteration. At the start of the fic, it's about the 21th Loop

Sollux on Loop #1 got helmed. That's the loop were Karkat was executed a la Sufferer.

It is unclear how long it took Sollux #1 to develop the code to do that, could be days, could be centuries, but he ends up sending his conscience back in time for Loops 2 and 3. It. Was not nice.

So now he just sends this grub database instead! It keeps all the information without the ugly memories, yay

Young Sollux gets it everytime at age 13 and he updates and works on it through his life until he inevitably fails, gets helmed, and has to send the file back to himself, cue: starting the loop again.

A huge part of each iteration is "how do ii keep my friiend2 from kiilliing eachother help" because he's discovered that he needs ALL of them to maybe successfully save Karkat and the rebellion.

How does Sollux achieve this? Simple, by Sim Date mechanics. Sollux basically has a walkthrough on what to do to become super good friends (or more? Lmao) with basically everyone

This accidentally turns Sollux into the conciliatory quadrant town two-wheel device every. Goddamn time.

It's mainly because while he's like that with everyone he doesn't really ACTUALLY have pale feelings for any of them, so yeah, he's developed a reputation as a heartbreaker (diamond breaker?) And a player. Which he isn't! But yeah, everyone thinks he is.

In Time Loop #21, when Dave starts working on his ship with Sollux, this information is told to him my multiple people like "yeah Sol is basically a huge slut, watch out and don't develop feelings"

Somehow the fact that that's only for CONCILIATORY quadrants doesn't click on his human head so yeah, he just assume his guy Captor has. Slept with everyone in his friend group, yeah

When Captor starts "flirting" with Dave (he's not, he's genuinely just like that chill lmao) Dave just goes "aight looks like he wants to sleep with me too"

It takes Dave about a couple of months of basically living with him on a ship to finally say "you know what? Screw it, I'll do it, let's sleep together"

And Sollux, who is NOT that kind of guy actually just says "okay? My hot human captain who'2 s/2ort of my best friiend riight now want2 to have 2ex wiith me? 2hould ii go for iit?"

A week later, Sollux decides to do it because why not? Yeah he's got the most embarrassing GENUINE pale crush on Dave, but he doesn't do quadrants because he's a Human so yeah, fuck it, let's do this instead

Captor is a bit of a freak. Mainly in the "ii kind of always have feeliing2 for people in TWO quadrant2 regardle22 of what ii do, 2o yeah, that'2 also why ii don't do quadrants, ii'm genuinely not wiired like the re2t of y'all, iim weiird"

Incidentally, that's why he worked sooo well with Karkat, but Sollux fucked that up so yeah, might as well derive some sort of happiness from being Dave's fwb

It's kind of a Time Loop Rule that Sollux set for himself that he has to stay away from Karkat. You know, so he can stay objective and SAVE him!

Karkat always inevitably ends up with Dave Strider in most iterations anyway, they're sort of soulmates

Sollux is meant to stay alone and doomed

When Dave learns about all of this he's all like "what the FUCK captor how did you hide all of this from me, also fuck you man, fate doesn't exist and plays no parts on the actions of this guy"

They kiss and make up, they're kind of dating now? They're both cowards and will not. Ever ask the other one out because that's cringe.

Dave STILL is in love with Karkat though, so yeah, he helps Sollux on his quest to save their favorite person alive literally (Karkat protection squad amirite)

It becomes a problem because Karkat is literally the most wanted guy in the entire fucking empire

"can you maybe not try to dismantle the empire for a moment and let us keep you safe?" "NO."

Dave says "you know what? Fuck it we're his new bodyguards, between my amazing ninja skills and your insane psionics nothing could get through to hurt him, right?"

Karkat is not happy about it because he still sort of hates Captor (Dave helped them make up but. It's still an issue that Sollux, you know, slept with him and fucked off to not be seen in like, an entire fucking sweep)

Karkat is trying to do his rebellion leader thing but he has to deal with this two idiots who won't just admit they're dating lmao

I'm not certain how the three of them finally get together but it's probably because Karkat. Had enough of these shenanigans.

[mammapickles]

Big complicated spiderweb lol. Just jamming under the read more. Discuss

My favs r def Nickles, Skwisgaar x Nathan x Pickles, Charles x Pickles, and Murderface x Knubbler. Those all need their own post wayy too much to say yayyyy

Nickles is just cannon i could talk abt them forever and im xurrently writing abt how i think they met n stuff, snickles is just fun, Charles and Pickles met in the snb era and are still sexy, dickface is super silly and in love and so crucial to willy's path to self acceptance I think

I think a lot of them either are fucking or have fucked tbh.

I think the dynamics are just too much like family with Toki and some of the others but he and Murderface def fucked in that one ep. But they're mostly just silly friends tho tbh that was a one time thing probably.

Swisgaar and Toki are very complicated, they bicker like siblings and usually dislike each other, theres an element of obsession, theyre musical soulmates and love each other but i just dont see them being lovey dovey romanticly compatible or sexy with each other.

I DO NOT LIKE MAGNUS X TOKI. NOT ONE BIT :( upsetting ship I don't understand I don't want to

I think Magnus and Pickles WERE a thing but they're def exes and dislike each other even before the season 4 and dsr stuff go down. I love drama ok. "Hello Magnus." "Hello Pickles" WOWWWW YOUVE KNOWN EACHOTHER CARNALLY

I say nah to knubbler and Abigail bcoz I dont think they're ever a thing but I think they're friends at some point. Like they're both bi but they're friends in a gay guy gay girl way. And nah to Abigail and Nathan bcoz u know. Don't question Skwisgaar abd Knubbler I read a good fic with them ans moidaface.

[cl00udyyanan]

Hiiii! I'm a Scorpio, and I would like to request Diluc 💖 I nearly requested Kaeya, but I think I have a feeling in our compatibility LMFAOOO (our MBTI types are also pretty incompatible 💀. I swear he's one of my favorite characters)

lmaoo i love doing scorpio reqs they're always so interesting. a bit about the kaeya one, since he's also a scorpio, it wouldn't be a bad relationship. just a bit.. toxic, but yk toxic love brittiany spears said it first.

taurus and scorpio

okay diluc diluc diluc, babes yall are obsessed with eachother its honestly disgusting. like, you'd be in the tavern with him and he's always linked to you he just LOVES you and wants you by his side (also doesn't want you to become a victim of venti's bs,, oh and he makes fun of yall btw he's a gemini he's a little shit) yall are so intimate together like its honestly so cute. you two can trust eachother very easily, at first diluc is quiet which may be off putting to the scorpio, but he'll open up to you soon enough to where there's no doubt you two can be so loyal to eachother. you both understand eachother like no other, now scorpios are characterised as dark thinkers, if this applies to you, diluc will not judge you at all and will help give a realistic outlook to your struggles. if this doesn't apply, diluc is able to just listen to your ideas and beleif, he himself doesn't need to speak alot about hsi issues, but when he does he just wants you to hear him out. thats all he asks, and i think you can accept that. you guys are great for eachother really. oh, you guys can share anything together. you can literally break down in tears infront of diluc and he's righ there seriously. you want your relationship to last, for a good longtime. whether its eternal or simply just a nice long drive, its meant to last as something to remmeber.

the only bad thing about this relationship is if you were to fall in way too deep. i mean like that deep deep love where you need him all the time. you can't be away from him and want him all to yourself, that posseiveness you could give off can drag diluc down. he loves you too much to say no to you. so just be careful not to do that to him.

in the end, this is the best relationship ive seen so far, yall are literally perfect for eachother.

compatiblity: 97 seriously you might as well figure out how to make diluc a real person bc he's your soulmate.

[simplyender]

Aaaaaa thank you @fellhellion for tagging me in a get to know u better meme!!! :D!!!!

Three ships: Oh gosh, I'm not much of a shipper, but when I do, I ship HARD.

Entrapdak (Entrapta/Hordak) - Where do I even begin? They're perfect for eachother, the truest sunshine/grumpy ship, evil scientists in love, Entrapta teaching Hordak to have his own identity and that imperfrction is beautiful!! Hordak being somebody Entrapta can really connect to, that understands what she's saying and wants to hear more!! They love being around eachother so much, no wonder Hordak committed fratricide/deicide/patricide for her! Also the height difference and him being a monster and she's a human and just aaaaaaa I KNOW imperfection is beautiful but DAMN is this ship just perfect!!!!

Huntlow (Hunter/Willow) - If I had a nickel for every time I somehow ended up shipping a het-passing ship between a pathetic, menacing-at-first but-really-just-an-angsty-dork clone with an abusive creator with a strong and intelligent woman that struggles with vulnerablity and being othered and has pigtails in a show where the main ship isn't het, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice! Their dynamic makes me so happy!! I love their characters!! They're so cute together!!

Trobed (Troy/Abed) - Fuck it. Trobed time. Can be an OTP AND a BROTP!! I don't even know what to say these guys were made for eachother and I will forever be upset about them being separated. Community movie please just bring them back together again I'm begging. Troys got homing pigeon DNA now he must be compelled to come back PLEASE.

Honorable mention: Brett and Reagan, BROTP. The actual best platonic soulmates I've ever seen. I miss u Inside Job.

First Ever Ship: The furthest back I can remember is Maxie/Courtney (AKA AuthorityShipping) from Pokemon, lol.

Last Song: Blame It On The Goose from the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off soundtrack. It's unreasonably resonant. I love it. Gideon/Gordon doesn't deserve something so beautiful sounding but boy did he get it anyway.

Last Movie: X-men United. MAN was that a blast.

Currently Reading: To Kill a Mockingbird, Mallard: How The 'Blue Streak' Broke the World Steam Speed Record, and The Necromancer: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel (In Hebrew). I read multiple books at once bc my attention span is weak, which really does not mesh well with being very a slow reader.

Currently Watching: I'm not actually really...In the middle of any series right now? I just finished Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and I still need to finish catching up on What We Do in the Shadows, as well as Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Haven't watched in forever tho hence why I don't feel they count?

Currently Consuming: I had chummus and shawarma for lunch not too long ago:)

Currently Craving: I am in a constant, endless state of craving a very good steak. Some day I will be able to afford one...Some day.

Tagging @abelle25125 @tangledbeast @spacemiddenzz

i feel really awkward tagging people in these haha, but either way, no pressure.

[blood-injections]

speak some funsandkid thoughts to me my mind is plagued by them rn

Gladly. My mind is plagued as well.

Funsandkid is taking the three most annoying little brother type of shitheads in the world and making them an insufferable polycule. Its taking already unparalleled snark and bitchiness and the limpetlike affection of a guy that aims to squeeze you to death when he hugs you and multiplying it by three. They actively make eachother worse. They're always hanging off of eachother even at the most inoppertune times. They're dogs that cant be separated because of separation anxiety but its more because they're soulmates and theres a chunk of them missing than anxiety but like dogs they will fucking whine about everything until theyre back together and when they are. They just fucking gravitate to each other. You could try to separate them and theyd walk away across the desert to find eachother and just happen to meet in the middle like wow what a coincidence as if the Witch cant hear their bitching from the other side and pushed them back together just for a little peace and quiet.

They're so stupid also. I truly cannot express how fucking stupid they are. That post i made that said its called funsandkid because they have fun eating sand together. Yeah. None of them have any sense of self-preservation unless it comes to a firefight. Thats the only time they're serious. They're the three most impulsive fuckers in the desert. Theyll see something shiny on the ground and go ooh shiny while theres like. A fucking tornado or something. They dare eachother to do the randomest stupid things and they do. I have no idea how one of them hasn't nearly died yet. "Hey Kobra i dare you to punch that cactus." "Okay." "Hey Ghoul i dare you to kiss that rattlesnake." "Bet." "Hey guys do you think I'd die if I chewed on this exposed wire?" "Idk try it."

Sandman getting his facepaint/makeup all. Fucking. Over. Kobra and Ghoul. Because i doubt its waterproof. I figure its only really needed if theyre in the city to disrupt facial recognition but he probably does it in the desert too bc it acts the same as like wearing a mask but its the fukin desert so it doesn't last long it sweats and smears and hes like a fucking cat always headbutting and like rubbing his cheek on the others or kissing them all over their faces and shit and he just. There's makeup smears all over the three of them bc of him. They've long accepted it they don’t complain. He walks into a place like black makeup running bc of sweat and looking horrifying and dead and shit going you should see the other guys and kobra and ghoul walk in right behind him covered in black lipstick kisses and black smears that if you just glanced at them youd think they were working on a car or something and wiped the motor oil on their shirts and shit but no. Its just sandman's makeup.

And he totally makes them goth. Like i proposed my goth kobra(foaming at the mouth) agenda forever ago but literally like. Kobra and Ghoul are used to listening to whatever Dr D puts on and obsessing over Mad Gear and dressing like. In their own litte styles but nothing specific just whatever they fancy out of the communal fab four closet. Not that Sandman wouldn't obsess over mad gear and shit too but i just think the scene in the zones is more like mainly punk or just general like. Fucking zonescore idk its its own thing out there. Versus the scene in the city underground where Sandmans from, i think itd have more like visible subcultures. I'm gonna go into it in haunted and holy and in my show pony au thats still gonna be in the drafts for a while but. The city would have like distinct scenes the zones are like a melting pot with only a few crews/cliques really like. Claiming to be/looking like anything specific. But like in the Pony au you'll see them with like the hip hop kinda rebels fucking around on the streets with a boombox and in haunted and holy you'll see the general funsandkid thing of sandman dragging them to goth clubs and raves and shit and doing their makeup and getting them more into that specific genre of music. And they all cry together to the cure and fuck to depeche mode. Or something like that.

Also. Polycule of genderfucks. As if any polycules in danger days arent but. None of them have a single set of pronouns except for Kobra. Trans guy Kobra, the guygirl ever Ghoul, and genderfluid Sandman.

Oh oh oh also Sandman thing that I've been Thinking abt and doodling. Sandman with natural hair. Specifically dreads or the bleached tips like those few photos of Pete we have because he would look so fucking cool

[im-getting-help]

× Really nice guy who only hates you: Felix lived after Oliver tried to poison him in the maze and we pick up in second year at Oxford.

× Divorce out of convenience: Bev and Ben divorce after a year of marriage cause the losers are poly af and the marriage between them is making them feel not as part of the polycule as the rest of them. Bev said "it makes us look straight".

× Too much comunication: Just, Felix and Venetia having no idea what boundaries are and sharing everything.

× Dating your enemy's sibling: could be enemy's cousin? Richie dates Connor in secret.

× Hate at first sight: this is SO quickstart. I would love a retelling of Saltburn from Farleigh's perspective. Just, Farleigh hating Oliver's guts.

× Fake amnesia: Look, i'm reading a cattonquick fic right now that is an amnesia fic and i'm rooting for it to be another of Oliver's lies 😂 that plot twist would be so good like!!

x Soulmates who are fated kill eachother: just... Saltburn??? but also i have a time loop idea in which Oliver is stuck re-living his birthday for like a decade. He tries everything multiple times to make Felix forgive him or to avoid the trip or idk, every single thing to stop Felix from hating him but nothing ever works. The only way for him to break the loop is to let go of Felix and accept that he fucked up and the damage he did is irreparable.

× Strangers to enemies: Eddie and Myra had a marriage for convenience but they HATE eachother and their favorite game to play is "how can i annoy tf out of my spouse".

× Everyone is convinced that you aren't actually dating: quickstart! second year at Oxford and people don't believe that they're actually a couple. They behave the same as last year, they don't like PDA, but they sit together. Is almost at the end of the year that they're seen kissing at KingsArms and India says "wait, are you actually dating?! we thought it was a joke".

× Too hot to cuddle: cattonquick second year, parallel to the "you're driving me-" scene. Felix wants to cuddle but he's melting into the carpet floor and Oliver is glued to the window.

"how do we do this?"

"Felix, if you touch me right now i'm going to die of heat stroke, please don't"

"but Ollieeeeee"

"you're dripping in sweat, stay there!"

"i thought you like me sweaty"

"i like when I make you sweat. also, you smell like a locker room right now"

"you're so mean"

"and you need a bath"

relationship chart + Danny for Haru and Robibi

RELATIONSHIP CHART

── Danny and Robin:

SOULMATES/LOVERS

I'm predictable but I don't care - these two are so nauseatingly sweet to eachother, they legit act like a classic lovey dovey couple. They cook together, dance in the kitchen, have a pet cat, date nights - and they never stop talking to eachother. Spuk and I have discussed it before about these two complete the other and fill out the holes caused by trauma and anxiety. Robin's kindness and gentle hand is something Danny desperately needs, he has no idea how to actually be himself until Robin shows him that Danny Johnson means the world to him. Robin needs someone who lessens his worries and someone he doesn't have to be perfect around; he's allowed to be weird, talk too much, sing in the shower or get way too into whatever show they're watching; and Danny loves him all the same. It also makes me chuckle because they're both Not-Good™ people at the end of the day - Danny for obvious reasons, Robin for more internal conflict - but their relationship is 100% genuinely just the sweetest fucking thing. Just seeing them both interact together, the average person would have no idea what is actually going on with them. That shift from doing the worst thing possible to "Honeycomb, do you want eggs from the store? Hm Hm, I miss you too love." just scratches some itch in my brain idk. Point is they love eachother more than anything. Ok I need to stop because I could write paragraphs about these two.

── Danny and Haru:

ACQUAINTANCES/LOATHED

Haru, as I've said before, is relatively normal compared to just about everyone in modern verse especially; and being as such he's actually got a pretty good read on "weird" people - Danny is no exception. While he is funny and has his moments of genuine humor; its important to remember that Danny is a murderer, stalker, and a creepy as fuck guy when you actually take a step back into reality. Yes, Danny and Robin are very sweet and adorable together but they are not generally like that with other people, and Danny even less so - he legit has no genuine relationships. Haru has mentioned Danny's weird energy to Tarhos before, and he knows something is actively wrong with him but doesn't know what. He will generally not hang out with Danny without Tarhos present, not that he doesn't think he can't kick Danny's ass but... well, having numbers is always a good thing.

FALSE.

The most ambitious crossover event happened roughly this time last year. The four magical weeks "Better Call Saul" Season 6 and "Westworld" Season 4 aired on the same days.

Or as I liked to call it... "OPERATION MARIO". Get it? Cus a couple of NiceGuys (TM) are chasing the princesses? Jimmy made it to the finish line and reunited with his love. William spent the season getting ordered around like a dog and then he fucking died, but at least he and Dolores got some closure from eachother. Joe Goldberg was disqualified early on because he straight up murdered his soulmate, and has been continuing to spiral out of control ever since.

PS: Aaron Paul's schedule must have been a nightmare those couple months both shows were being filmed.

Rita: "So sorry. I'm afraid no men are allowed beyond this point"

William aims his pistol at Rita's face: "Let me through, or I swear I'll kill you! I know you have Dolores as your prisoner"

Joe: "And Love!"

Jimmy: "And Kim! It was my fault I dragged her into this. Where have you taken her?! What are you doing to her?!"

Rita: "Ever seen any tentacle hentai? Any of you? No? Joe? Okay, well you're just lying. Point is... short answer is basically cosmic damnation. Have you ever been so depressed that your head was swimming? Time slowed down? You felt like you could see another world? Of course not! Amateurs!"

Joe: "What can I do to buy Love's freedom? It would at least be a way to begin my apology to her. For everything"

Jimmy: "Yeah, we'll do anything! Please, they don't deserve to be punished for our mistakes!"

Rita sighs, and places a freshly-sharpened cleaver on the table: "Alright... whip'em out then"

William: "Whip...?"

Rita: "Unzip your pants. Put your cocks and balls on the metal trays. Men have always been an albatross around womens' necks, just on a biological level. And there's one easy solution to this. You're all here because you thought you were such nice guys, that you were basically owed a beautiful wife who would risk life and limb to have your kids. Because we're still not equal, and there's a million little sacrifices that it's just assumed a wife would make. Roe v. Wade was overturned; the Republicans got their wish. And now... I get mine!"

After a long time thinking, Jimmy swallows hard: "Fine. I'll do it..."

William: "Yeah. Me too; it's only fair"

Joe: "Well I'm out! There's a lot of things I'd do for Love Quinn, but this isn't one of them! All told, she got herself into this!"

(Extremely graphic take goes here. Wait for the bleeding to stop)

Joe: "Alright. They did your stupid stunt, now let us through!"

Rita: "Fine by me, but I conveniently just remembered: Dolores isn't in this facility. Kim nor Love neither... God damn it!"

William: "What do you mean they're not here?!"

Rita: "I never said they were. You said they were, and I just didn't correct you, so-"

Jimmy: "Fraud! Then why would you castrate us?!"

Rita: "Because I'm not going to pass up an opportunity. It just gets funnier each time. Relax; you'll get it back. Maybe. This was just a test. A test you both failed by the way! I was not expecting it to go this way, with Joe 2-to-0-to-0. Frankly, this is depressing!"

William: "I must be blacking out from the blood loss. You're saying we did this for nothing?!"

Rita: "Yes! Because... The Maze isn't meant for you. Because you should be able to wrap your heads around the idea of playing second banana. Because the notion that you could "ruin" your girlfriend's innocence is not just outdated, it's flattering yourself, greatly overestimating your own importance. Because really, Freudian psychology is a bit played out. Acton's Axiom too, for that matter. You're all kidding yourselves to think some big strong man on a white horse is what anyone needs right now, and if we did, that you're it"

Joe: "Then where is Love?"

Rita: "It wouldn't matter. You can't save them. There's not even anything to be saved from. The ladies made their own mistakes they have to atone for. They wanted the supernatural insight this coven offers, and this is the price. If it's to feel the pull of the moon and the seasons, I say it's worth it. Not every pain is a problem to be fixed. If you mull it over, I think you'll find that you wanted me to take a cleaver to your nuts. Because anything that women have to themselves, you want too. Even when it's pain"

BARBENHEIMER - July 21, 2023

The most ambitious crossover event in history

[parts-of-spop]

AU where Catra lets Adora fall in the First Ones Temple and she doesn’t come out... until she does.

Part 2 in which Catra, having retired from her position as Force Captain in her grief, is tasked to scope out the Temple then return to Force Captain Lonnie. It should be quick and simple because the Temple opens for no one.

But the doors are open and she can’t resist.

The door is open.

Just… open. Like a waiting invitation.

“What?” She murmurs in bewilderment and it’s the most emotion she’s felt in months.

Beneath the dim light of the moons, her tail lashes and her claws flex restlessly into the branch beneath her.

She knows, sensibly, she should report back to Lonnie, her Force Captain, and let her know of this development but then Catra’s never been sensible has she? Smart but not sensible.

She climbs down the tree and inches towards the open door.

Adora died in there.

What if she comes across her body?

She couldn’t handle that.

She’d rather claw her own eyes out than see that.

But she inches inward and deeper into the darkness, careful not to touch anything or activate any of those spider things she remembers because she’s just… she’s not willing to fight nowadays unless she must.

She pads down a hallway, following dim blue lights, scanning around herself warily and waiting for it to all go red and turn against her.

It doesn’t.

She still thinks she should have returned to her squad but it doesn’t stop her pressing forward, slightly crouched with claws retracted just in case.

There’s another door in front of her and she raises her claws to slash it open when it suddenly opens with a soft whoosh and her breath stalls.

She hears beeping and clicks, her ears twitching towards them.

But her eyes are locked onto the form across the room.

The figure is painfully familiar…

But also, completely not.

It can’t be…

Long blonde hair flows free down her back with a white and gold uniform hugging her body.

She’s tapping away on some sort of keyboard, swift and effortless like she was born to, apparently unaware of Catra’s presence behind her.

But it just… it kind of looks like her and she can’t help hoping so-

“… Adora?” Catra croaks and the hands still in their motions.

Broad shoulders- broader than before- go tense for a moment. It’s easy to see the reams of hard-earned muscle.

Then she slowly turns and the first thing Catra notices is the amount of scars dotting her face, some pink but most of them pale and there’s a noticeably larger one cutting through her lips, little dents left behind.

Then it’s her eyes. They’re the same blue but they glow nearly as brightly as She-ra’s.

Catra finds herself creeping slowly nearer despite it all, trying to determine whether this is real or a very vivid hallucination or real.

If it is real, she isn’t sure how Adora looks… older. Like years have passed instead of months.

Adora still hasn’t spoken and her face is unnervingly unreadable.

Catra could always read her but she can’t now.

“Adora… How are you…?” She trails off and Adora blinks at her.

“Alive?” She finishes.

Oh, her voice. It still haunts all her dreams but she can’t get enough of it.

“… Yeah…” Catra rasps and Adora has the gall to shrug at her.

“After you left me for dead-“ Catra winces but Adora either doesn’t care or doesn’t notice- “-Light Hope encouraged me to stay and… work on some things.”

She’s being vague and stiff and not like Adora.

If this is a hallucination it’s a poor one.

“You’ve been here for 9 months?” Catra confirms and Adora pauses briefly.

“To you, it’s 9 months. Time is relative in the temple though so I’ve actually been here for nearly four years,” She replies smoothly and Catra feels like she’s been sucker-punched.

“But why didn’t you leave?” She splutters. Why did you not tell anybody you were okay?

“I needed to focus and train. It turns out my attachments tend to make me vulnerable,” Adora replies, eyes filled with meaning and Catra feels sick with disgust at herself.

“What… What’ve you been training at?” She says shakily. That’s safe. A safe easy question.

Until it’s not.

“And why would I tell a member of the Horde something like that?”

Another blow. This one harder because Adora looks cool and almost lazy in her detachment as she looks at her… like she just doesn’t care anymore.

Catra knows she’s earned that look but it doesn’t make it hurt less.

“A-Adora…” She croaks weakly, ears pinning back and for just a brief moment, her expression softens.

Then it’s gone and she’s back to being unwavering.

“Do you know why I felt I had to leave when I found the Sword?” She asks and Catra can only shake her head mutely, still winded. “It wasn’t just about saving the world, Catra… It was about saving a world… that had you in it.”

Oh…

Oh fuck…

“But I don’t have that problem any more… because I’m letting go, Catra, do you understand?” Adora continues and Catra wants to run, to hide but she can’t move. Adora’s approaching.

She looks so strong and almost regal in her new clothes.

She stands close, toe to toe with Catra.

They haven’t been this close without hurting each other in nearly two years.

Adora eyes burn hot into her own as her hands raise and cup her face between her hands, the touch gentle and bordering cautious.

She could probably snap Catra’s neck right now and be done with it.

Catra can’t say she’d mind much.

But then Adora does something far worse.

She guides her in and brushes a whisper of a kiss over her lips.

It makes her whimper and shake, her lips left tingling at the too brief touch.

Oh…

“I have loved you since I met you…” What? “But I’m letting you go now… I’m not doing this for you anymore… do you understand?” Adora presses and Catra feels Adora’s forehead rest against hers gently as she tries to process everything with limited success.

Then it clicks.

“… You’re giving up on me,” Catra murmurs in a quiet and gut-wrenching moment of realisation and Adora gazes back into her steadily.

“I don’t want to… but I will because I must… I can’t save this planet and keep defending you. It just doesn’t work that way… It’ll get me killed,” She reasons and her thumbs are stroking her cheeks, wetness dampening her fur.

Catra’s crying. She hadn’t noticed.

“Do you hate me?” She asks shakily and Adora’s eyes trail over her face for a moment.

“No… I don’t hate you…”

“… Why did you just kiss me, Adora? Why would you do that?” Catra presses, voice cracking with desperation to just understand.

Adora gazes into her for another moment.

“Because this is the only chance I’ll ever have,” She says, voice dropping to a whisper and Catra feels her chest tighten with fresh pain, more tears spilling free. Then anger curls in her stomach and she’s grabbing at Adora’s shirt roughly, claws catching in the fabric.

“Then do it properly!”

Adora barely hesitates, eyes widening for half a second before she’s lunging forward and pulling Catra into a frantic, bruising kiss.

Catra knows this is going to kill her later.

This kiss that she’s wanted since they turned thirteen and learned what kissing was is going to kill her.

It’s going to be the death of her.

It doesn’t matter... because if this is all she gets of Adora then she’ll take it in both hands and dig her claws deep enough that Hordak himself will have to tear it from her.

If this is the only part of Adora she gets to have, she’ll die defending it.

She presses closer and ignores the tears staining her own face.

She doesn’t notice how Adora trembles, just as broken and aching and wanting as herself.

MHA SingingSoulmate!au

Harmonies of the Heart series Part 1

Prohero!Kirishima x gn!reader

Your soulmate can hear you sing (and yes some of the boys & y/n are dumb & can't recognize talking voices from your singing voices)

Warnings ⚠️ curse words, they are a staple in my vocabulary idgaf

A/n: WOOOO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE LOML, MY FAVORITE REDHEAD, THE BRIGHTEST SUNSHINE, MY #1 COMFORT CHARACTER. EIJIROU KIRISHIMA!! damn these 11th hr birthday posts are popping out of me. Is this my best? Probably not but it isss what it issss. I have at least 3 more planned for this series (hopefully I can get them done before an hour until their bds are over 🥲) Also this is my first gn!reader so sorry if they're are any mistakes! 😅

Edited A/N: WHY THE FUCK DID I THINK HIS BD WAS ON THE 10TH AND WORKED MY ASS OFF TO GET IT OUT WHEN I HAD 6 MORE DAYS?! 😭😭😭

It's been about 2 years since you found your gym buddies that turned into friends. You've heard them refer to themselves as the "Bakusquad", how you fell in with a group of pro heros as a workout buddy you'll never know. Not that you're complaining, you love their chaotic energy. Currently you were on the way to your gym to meet them. You were blasting your favorite playlist, Throne by  Bring Me the Horizon had just come on and you started to sing along.

Remember the moment you left me alone and

Broke every promise you ever made

I was an ocean, lost in the open

Nothin' could take the pain away

Suddenly a second voice could be heard in your head. The rough gravelly voice of your soulmate.

So you can throw me to the wolves

Tomorrow I will come back

Leader of the whole pack

Beat me black and blue

Every wound will shape me

Every scar will build my throne...

You smirked. It seemed your soulmate always sang along with you if he knew the song. Which to be fair is why you always played this playlist. He knew most of the songs. The duet came to an end as you pulled into the parking lot but one of your favorite songs came on next. So you did the logical thing and stayed in the car to sing your heart out.

Choke me like you hate me, but you love me

Lowkey wanna date me when you fuck me (uwu)

Touch me with the lights off and my chains on

Baby, I'm not the right one you should wait on...

After your solo you made your way into the gym to meet your friends. "Y/n! You're finally here! You missed it, Kiri nearly died!" Mina and Kami yelled.

"What?!" You shouted. "Is he ok?" Your panic had nothing to do with the teeny tiny crush you had on the red head. He WAS your friend after all.

"Yeah. Bro just choked on his protein drink out of nowhere is all." Sero filled in.

You calmed down and laughed scolding Mina & Kaminari. "Oh. Don't scare me like that jeez!"

Kirishima made his way to your line of sight, a heavy blush covering his cheeks. "Hey its not my fault my soulmate decided to sing something hot—" his rosy cheeks darkened," uh unexpected while I was taking a drink."

"Enough about your dumb love life. Are we going to work out or what." Bakugo grumble. That was all you guys needed to get your asses moving. For the next few hours you rotated on the equipment trying to one up eachother. Everyone had their own that they excelled in. Mina was queen of hip thrusts, Sero ruled anything that had to do with shoulders, Kami would put a wash board to shame with he abs he had, Bakugo was obviously #1 at arms (& everything else if you ask him) and Kiri you swore could damn near dead lift a car. And you apparently had "crush a watermelon thighs" or so Kami & Mina told you.

After the gruesome workout everyone piled into your car to go to your guys favorite post workout cafe. Yours was the only one that could fit all of you. Yes everybody could take their own ride but where's the fun in that. Bakugo always brought his motorcycle, Kirishima his truck, Mina's convertible and Sero and Kami rode skateboards. So you were the designated chauffeur.

Mina shouted, "SHOTGUN!" Seconds before Bakugo.

"YOU RODE SHOTGUN LAST TIME YOU ALIEN!" He yelled.

"Go cry about it." She stuck he tongue out at him as she slipped into the passenger seat. As you were pulling out onto the road Mina started to look for music on your phone. Usually whoever rides passenger uses their own phone but you had already plugged in yours while the group was bickering about who was sitting where. However Mina, your dear friend, liked to snoop through peoples playlists. "Ooh what's 'Favorites that we mostly duet ❤'  Y/n?" She said giving you knowing side eye look while scrolling.

Your face was warm and not just from the workout. "Um, songs I like to sing along to?" She wasn't buying it. "Ok fine. Its mostly songs my soulmate and I sing together." You pouted sheepishly.

"Hmm. Lotta punk/alternative rock & emo music in here. But also some hella good pop bangers. Kiri I see lots of the bands you listen to." Mina observed. She clicked on a song and you heard familiar vocals of Sam Tinnesz.

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

I've got that lightnin' inside me

Son of a God

I'm like a titan that's risin'

Oh, just you watch

I'm steppin' into fate

There is no time to waste

I've got that lightnin' inside me

This is how legends are made...

"Really? Cool, your soulmate has good taste then." You saw that gorgeous smile of his in your rearveiw mirror.

"Your taste in music is ass, Shitty Hair." Bakugo rolled his eyes.

"Hey don't rag on other peoples music tastes dude. We don't say nothin when we listen to your classic rock love ballads." Kami interjected.

Bakugo crossed his arms "Tch. Whatever."

As you made the final turn to your destination a new song played. One that always make you feel like a bad bitch. And Mina shared the sentiment. She screeched, "AH THIS IS MY JAM!"

"BRO ME TOO! IF WE WERENT IN THE CAR I'D DO THE DANCE!" Kami screamed.

"SAME BESTIE!" Mina squealed. Kami & Mina started to sing along.

...I said certified freak, seven days a week

Wet ass pussy, make that pullout game weak, woo! (Ah)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, you fucking with some wet ass pussy

Bring a bucket and a mop for this wet ass pussy

Give me everything you got for this wet ass pussy...

You giggled how into they were. Pretty soon Sero was singing also & they were trying to get you to sing as well. You shook your head. You didn't really sing in front of people but you couldn't say no. So you started when your favorite part came up.

...Your honor, I'm a freak bitch, handcuffs, leashes

Switch my wig, make him feel like he cheating

Put him on his knees, give him some' to believe in

Never lost a fight, but I'm looking for a beating

In the food chain, I'm the one that eat ya

If he ate my ass, he's a bottom feeder

Big D stand for big demeanor

I could make ya bust before I ever meet ya

If it don't hang, then he can't bang

You can't hurt my feelings, but I like pain

If he fuck me and ask, "Whose is it?"

When I ride the dick, I'ma spell my name, ah...

Finishing the song as you pulled up to the coffee shop you heard Bakugo & Kirishima talking in hushed tones. Kiri's face was flushed & Bakugo had an amused smirk on his face. Everyone got out of the car & as you were about to step into the shop Kiri grabbed your wrist, stirring up the butterflies in your stomach. "Um, hey Y/n can we talk for a sec?" He looked nervous.

"Hey you guys coming or what?" Kami asked.

Bakugo pulled him away by the ear & into the Cafe to me up with Sero & Mina. "Come on Pikachu, give Rock Head  & Y/n a minute."

"Sure, is everything okay?" You asked turned to Kirishima.

"Yeah, it's just," he licked his lips, "maybe it's better if I just show you. Do you mind if we go back in the car? I'm kinda self conscious about it..." You lifted your brow. "It's nothing pervy! I swear!"

You laid a hand hand on his chest and patted, "I know. Your not like that. I was just teasing you." Unlocking and getting in the car you turned to fully face him. "Okay what is it Red." His ears tinged scarlet at the nickname. They always did, you found it adorable.

He fiddled with his fingers."Uh, I hate to keep asking favors but could you close your eyes please?"

"Oh shush." You told him closing your eyes. "It's not a problem."

He released a shakey breath and soon you heard a familiar song. You cocked your head to the side wondering where this was going. Suddenly your favorite sound found your way to your ears. A sound you have only heard in your head previously. A rough gravelly voice that made your knees weak & your heart soar.

...Double bubble disco queen

Headed to the guillotine

Skin as cool as Steve McQueen

Let me be your killer king

It hurts until it stops

Your eyes snapped open. Eijirou Kirishima was your soulmate. You'd been around him for two fucking years & somehow neither of you had realized. You grabbed his clasped hands. His knuckles were white from gripping g them so hard. He wasn't looking at you. He was still singing.

We will love until it's not

I'm a killing spree in white

Eyes like broken Christmas lights

You ducked down a little while tilting his face up with your other hand. Tears were beginning to stream down you cheeks. His eyes widend in panic and he began to try and wipe your tears away. But you had a duet to sing. You smiled warmly at him.

My touch is black and poisonous

And nothing like my punch drunk kiss

I know you need it

Do you feel it

Drink the water

Drink the wine

Eijirou couldn't believe it. His gym crush. His friend. You were really his soulmate. So he did the only thing he knew what to do. He sang with his love.

Oh we gotta turn up the crazy

Livin' like a washed up celebrity

Shooting fireworks like it's the fourth of July

Until we feel all right

Until we feel all right...

By the time the song came to an end your cheeks hurt from smiling. You whispered, "Hey soulmate."

"Hi, soulmate." He whispered back before leaning in slightly. You met him the rest of the way. Your kiss was the softess kiss you've ever had. It was like he was afraid to break you. The grip he had on your waist was gentle but firm. As if you might disappear from him. Breaking the kiss he held his forehead against yours. "So I guess we should probably go in before the squad gets suspicious."

Sighing happily you agreed. "I mean we should go in, I'm starving." After getting out of the car for a second time you grabbed his had, lacing your fingers through his. "But I don't really care if they are suspicious or not." Your friends were looking at the both of you through the window.

"You know what? I don't either." Eijirou said before leaning down to kiss you again. You smiled into the kiss after hearing the outrageous shouting coming from your friends. Eijirou pulled away but barely. "So if I treat you to coffee or whatever you want does this count as a date?" He gave you that dazzling smile.

You chuckled. "If you want it too." You pecked him on the cheek. He grinned back at you all goofy.. "It's a date then!" You couldn't wait for all the duets to be sung together while being able to look into those sparkling ruby eyes. Side by side you made your way in together, your hearts in harmony with eachother.

A Blackstairs Lens on "Don't Blame Me" by Taylor Swift

Don't blame me, love made me crazy

this is a theme we're gonna see a lot through this song (obviously, since this is a repeating line lol), and which I think is so apt for Emma and Julian. Love DID make them crazy in a way, since it was tainted? exaggerated? both? by their parabatai bond, and it was never something they intended. They can't be blamed for falling in love and thereby amplifying the powers of the parabatai bond and turning into literal angels. Also Julian's room full of paintings of Emma ALONE

If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right

not only does this feel like a realization Emma had when comparing Julian to Cameron, but it also feels like something Emma and Jules came to terms with after denying their feelings for each other to such great extents

Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

I'll be usin' for the rest of my life

the fact that the more time these two spend together, the curse thing got worse.. also I don't think there is another ship in tsc that's as addicted to eachother (physically or otherwise) as these two, which could in itself be an influence of the parabatai curse that lingers

I've been breakin' hearts a long time, and

the hearts they're breaking are each other's and their own. We see this in the decisions they make: deciding to become parabatai even though romantic feelings had already begun to blossom, choosing to date Mark, choosing to have Magnus take away your emotions.

Toyin' with them older guys

Just playthings for me to use

not only does this continue the relevance to Emma pretending to be with Mark, but I think it could also relate to how Julian is constantly playing with the big leagues. He's fooling everyone and using carefully placed moves and deceit to ensure that things come out the way he wants, that his family is safe.

Something happened for the first time,

In the darkest little paradise

Shakin, pacin', I just need you

This is Lady Midnight in summation--Emma realizing her feelings for Jules, their first time in the cave--and then later, the anxiety and mess of emotions that came with the discovery of the true consequences of falling in love as parabatai

For you, I would cross the line

the line between best friends and parabatai? between parabatai and lovers? the line that says don't date the brother of the guy you just had sex with? the line of having your emotions stripped by magic? or perhaps simply the proverbial line between morally right and wrong? let's face it these two would do anything for each other (especially Jules).

I would waste my time

I would lose my mind

They say she's gone too far this time

I think its a big thing for Julian to waste time. He's responsible for so much, and yet he will waste his time for Emma, he'll let himself get caught up in whatever she wants. I don't think I need to reiterate about how they pretty much did lose their minds for eachother lol

My name is whatever you decide

it's the way Emma didn't feel like she could call Julian Jules anymore after they slept together

And I'm just gonna call you mine

because really is there any better word when you don't know where one facet of your relationship stops and the other begins? Plus, back when trying to hide that they were together together.. well saying you're eachother's soulmate could be interpretated as completely platonic when you have a parabatai

I'm insane, but I'm your baby (your baby)

Echoes of your name inside my mind

Halo, hiding my obsession

When the most Julian had of Emma was the way he could say her name in his mind, how he couldn't fill it with all the love that had been bound to it for years.. And the way he literally hid his obsession behind closed doors

I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy

They really were poison ivy to eachother, a growing obsession, dangerous to touch but crawling closer and closer all the time. Also I just love imagining Emma as a daisy (funny that she's related to Daisy to hehe). I think @lifeofbrybooks put it so well, how Emma is like a wildflower to Jules: "beautiful and strong, able to grow and flourish in even the harshest conditions"

And baby, for you, I would fall from grace

Just to touch your face

them every time they give in to their feelings for each other while parabatai

If you walk away

I'd beg you on my knees to stay

This makes me so sad to think about, especially considering we've seen insecurities along these lines rear their head even after they've been together for a while

I get so high, oh

Every time, yeah every time you're lovin' me

You're lovin' me

Trip of my life, oh

Every time, yeah every time you're touchin' me

You're touchin' me

these horny bitches
