#and lilo was out with the rest of the dogs

[artist-issues]

It sounds like Stitch but it just doesn’t have the Stitchiness of Stitch. His mouth is too small. His nose is too small and too low down.

His ears are too furry. There’s too much teddy-bear-bunny, not enough insect-shark.

His ears should look almost-translucent, with fine fuzz, like bat ears! His nose should look stamped onto his face with gigantic nostrils, like a bulldog’s. His eyes should look bigger and blanker.

His mouth should make you think shark, like his whole head is resting on the hinge of his jaw. And the fur around his eyes should be much thinner and more peach fuzz like so that you can see the wrinkles in his flesh when he squints or makes snarly faces.

Why

Why is that so hard

he’s not cutesy and only-pretending-to-be-fierce. he’s not a kitten. He’s not made to appeal to the Minions and Toothless-but-only-Toothless-in-HTTYD-3 crowd.

There are NO BLACK LIPS. He’s not a dog. There are NO CAT-MUZZLE-UPPER-LIP-MUSCLES. He’s not a kitty. OR a bunny. Why are those two-front-teeth so so much smaller than the rest of his teeth? Why are all of the teeth so small??

Don’t you guys understand why he’s supposed to look more than just cute-but-acting-naughty?

He has to be able to look convincingly disgusting, and genuinely fearsome.

Look how whip-thin his eyes and eyebrows are. Look at how, like a snake mid-eat, you can see some of Pleakley’s head swelling Stitch’s throat. It is important that he look like a monster when he needs to because he is a monster.

If Stitch doesn’t look like the kind of small monster that can take big disgusting bites out of you, with jerky, spider-like movements and tiger-scrunched eyes then the whole emotional weight of the movie looks flimsy. We’ll forgive a cat for scratching us and giving us cat-scratch fever because it’s cute. If Stitch looks too cute, then the human brain goes, yeah, he pushed that little girl down and laughed at her pain, but look at his wittle face, he’s a babydoll, who could stay mad at him

We can easily see why Lilo puts up with him.

When the point is, we shouldn’t be able to see why Lilo puts up with him—not in and of himself. Stitch does nothing to deserve Lilo’s love, including being cute— actually, he’s gross and unsettling. He’s not even cute enough to want around as a snuggle-buddy. He’s certainly not cute enough to look unthreatening. Nobody in the movie runs up and asks to pet him. Nobody even looks like they want to. He’s not appealing in that way. The dogcatcher screams at him on sight. The tourists just stare when he walks up dressed as Elvis. Her friends immediately think he’s the ugliest thing in the world and don’t want him anywhere near them. David is sure it’s not a dog. Even the aliens in an intergalactic council find him not-appealing, on sight. They take him, as a threat, seriously, even before Jumba lists his powers.

All of that is not because Stitch really looks outrageously ugly.

⬆️ THAT is ugly. Can we all agree? That’s ugly. Whereas this:

Less ugly. Obviously I know that. But there are a couple things about Stitch that are not traditionally appealing, when the filmmakers could have made him traditionally appealing. If they wanted his nose to look muzzle-y, they could’ve. If they wanted his spine to bend at the hips like a human toddler’s they could’ve. If they wanted his mouth smaller and more cartoon-y, with kitty-cat lips, they could have done that. They chose to do the slightly more ugly thing instead. He’s still appealing. But he can look and be convincingly threatening, unattractive, and disgusting when he needs to be for the story.

The cuteness was a by-product. It was an artfully-done side. It was not the main course of what he’s supposed to look like. Again I say to you—he is not your Minions-loving Facebook Mom’s bumper sticker. He is supposed to walk the line between most-disgusting-pet-you-could-have and Gremlin-meets-E.T.

These teasers are totally catering to the people who like Stitch T-Shirts from WalMart but probably couldn’t explain the first thing about him as a character. And whatever, that’s fine. But the design affects the story, and the original story was so good.

This does not bode well.

you know it's kinda funny that lilo was meant to be a family dog, one we got because my mom wasn't doing well with the loss of our one dog. and when she took me to meet her, i was so apprehensive because i am Not a puppy person at all, and really did NOT want to do a puppy. but i gave in because that little puppy just gave it her ALL trying to convince me.

and now here we are, lilo being very obviously attached to me and me being so unbelievably attached to her (i will not admit this out loud).

something went wrong here (i love her so much)

-EARLY MARCH '23-

A soft chuckle escaped your mouth as you threw your head back, one of your hand landing on your boyfriend’s thigh as a small laugh of his own could be heard in his bedroom. You were currently in Luke’s room, having come back from the west coast only hours ago and your boyfriend deciding to, as you called i earlier, kidnap you for the rest of the day. 

Thankfully, you arrived in Ann Arbor early in the afternoon, and for the first time in a week, the Michigan men’s hockey team had the day off, meaning the two of you had been locked away in his room since you arrived. 

Luke had been preparing for this moment ever since you left, making a couple of trips to target to get you some your favourite candies and chocolat, as well as some stupid things he found that he knew you’d find hilarious. When you walked into his room earlier, blankets were pilled on his bed, snacks surrounding the pill, a couple of your favourite candles lit up on his desk as well. 

“Luke!” You gasped as your eyes landed on his bed, a cute teddy bear sitting on the top of the blanket pill along with some flowers. “You didn’t have to.” You added, turning your head to look at him with a smile. 

“I wanted to. I’ve missed you.” He stated, his eyes staring lovingly into yours. A small tint of red appeared on your cheeks as you threw your arms around his neck, his going around your waist. The two of you held each other close for what felt like hours, but only being a couple of minutes, until Ethan walked past the wide opened bedroom door, gagging as he walked away. 

“Guys, I think we might have to go buy some earplugs for tonight.” You could faintly hear Ethan’s voice coming from the living room, making you pull away from your boyfriend. 

“Shut up Edwards!” You yelled out before closing Luke’s door shut. When you turned around, Luke was now standing near his dresser, emptying your suitcase into your reserved drawer. “Oh, Lemon, you don’t need to.” You cooed as you walked towards him, grabbing the shirt he was currently holding in his hands before placing it in with the rest. 

“It’s weird seeing you so tan in the middle of winter.” He said, his eyes watching your every move. His words made you look up at him, sending him a soft smile. 

“It’s spring in like two weeks, dumb dumb.” You laughed, making the boy roll his eyes before grabbing both of your hands and leading you towards the bed. 

“Shut up.” He mumbled before pressing his lips to yours, the back of your knees hitting his mattress. The next thing you knew, Luke was sitting on the bed, with you on his laps, lips molded together as you shared small kisses. 

“Movie?” He asked after a couple of minutes of kisses and smiles. You nodded eagerly before grabbing the flowers he had gotten and carefully placing them on his desk, not too close to the candles. As you walked back over to the bed, Luke was messily throwing the blankets everywhere as the snacks were now all resting on his night stand. 

“Remind me to put them in water, later.” You told me as you joined him on the bed, resting your head on his chest as he threw a bunch of blankets over the two of you, a bag of popcorn opened next to him.

Over the next ten minutes or so, the two of you argued about which movie you should watch. You wanted to watch Lilo and Stich, while Luke wanted to watch The Parent Trap. Eventually, after loads of puppy dog eyes from the youngest Hughes, you agreed to watch his movie. 

“Where you going?” You whispered an hour into the movie and Luke slowly wiggled his way out of your burito blanket. 

“Bathroom, I’ll be back, hon.” He responded, pressing a small kiss to your forehead before quietly leaving the room. You let out a happy sigh as the door closed behind him, feeling content with being back in the bed you had spent so many hours in since the two of you started dating. 

You let your eyes wonder around the room, one that you could describe with your eyes closed, only your eyes were caught on a picture frame that you were sure wasn’t there when you left the previous week. Slowly, you made your way out of the bed and walked over to the pretty empty bookshelf in his room. 

A small smile appeared on your face as your hands grabbed the frame, his mom had taken after one of his game, Luke still in his full hockey gear besides his helmet, the two of you holding each other with wide smiles one your faces. You were standing side by side, your eyes focused on Ellen, who was behind the phone, while Like was staring at you. You ran your fingers over your boyfriend’s face, butterflies erupting in your stomach at the way he looked at you. 

“You’re not snooping, are you, love?” Luke asked with a smirk as he walked back into the room. As soon as he was where you were standing and the smile on your face, he knew that you had found the frame, not that he tried to hide it, he was just surprised it took you so long to notice it. 

“Me? Never.” You joked as the Hughes boy now stood behind you, his arms wrapping around your waist as his chin leaned down on your shoulder. 

“Mom gave it to me when I went over for dinner last week.” He whispered before pressing a kiss to your neck, making you hum in response. 

“It’s cute. You’re cute.” You answered, your free hand reaching back to the back of his head, playing with the small hairs on his neck. Your head turned to the side, your eyes meeting as you exchanged smiles, Luke’s eyes then looking down at your lips. 

“You’r cuter, though.” He spoke softly before leaning in and pressing a gentle kiss to your lips. You closed your eyes as you kissed him back, smiling against his lips. Eventually, the two of you pulled away, your foreheads resting against each other as your eyes locked together, wide smiles on your faces. 

“I’ve realized something while you were gone.” 

“Yeah? And what’s that?” You asked, quickly pecking him. The hand that once rested on the back of his neck now running throught his hair on the top of his head. 

“I love you.” He confessed, his smile still wide on his face. Meanwhile, yours slowly fell, not sure how you felt about his confession. “You don’t have to say it back if you’re not ready. I just wanted to let you know.” He added, one of his hand leaving your waist, cupping your cheek. 

“I…” You started, your eyes leaving his to look down at the frame you were holding as he pressed a kiss to your forehead. There was no doubt in your mind that you loved him just as much as he loved you, you had known for a while how you felt, but you didn’t know how to tell him. “Luke―” 

“Sorry to interrupt, but the guys and I are ordering doordash, you guys want anything?” Duker cut you off, entering the room without knocking since Luke hadn’t completely closed the door when he walked back in. At the sound of the older boy’s voice, you cleared your throat slightly, slipping out of Luke’s hold on you. 

“I am good, thanks.” You told the foreward, sitting down in your previous place on the bed, the frame pictures having been put back in it’s spot before you left your boyfriend’s side. 

“No thanks, Duker.” Luke answered. Dylan nodded slightly, ignorant to the slight tension that was built up in the room, before leaving, closing the door behind himself. The youngest Hughes was now leaning against his desk, his arms crossed lazily over his chest as his eyes looked at you. Just as he was about to say something, you pushed yourself off his bed, your phone in your hand. 

“I need to use the bathroom.” You said and slipped out of the room before he had time to say anything, leaving him alone with his thoughts in his bedroom. As soon as you entered the washroom, you locked the door, sitting down on the closed toilet as you opened your text chain with your oldest brother. 

Y/N/N

trevuh 

Gosh Y/N/N ur being stupid

now stop bothering me 

You let out a groan at Trevor’s answer, but deep down you knew he was right. All you had to do was just tell Luke how you felt, say those three little words, eight letters, how hard could it be right? 

After about a minute, waiting to see if Trevor was going to say anything else, you slowly made your way back to Luke’s room. When you walked in, he was now laying on his bed, phone in one hand as he bit the nails of his other hand, something you knew he did when he was nervous. 

Once he heard the door open and saw you walking back into the room, he quickly dropped his phone, pushing himself up so he was sitting up. The two of you were silent, sitting next to each other on the bed before Luke spoke first. 

“I am sorry if I made things weird earlier. I never wanted to―”

“I love you.” You cut him off, a smile appearing on your face before repeating those three words. “I love you, Lemon.” You told him, one of your hand reaching out to cup his cheek, your thumb rubbing the tissue under his eyes. “So much.” 

“I love you, Y/N Zegras.” He mumbled before both of his hand flew to your waist, pulling you on top of him. 

“Full name, huh?” 

“Shut up.” He said before pulling you into a passionate kiss. Smiling against each other’s lips as your hands flew to his head, running your finger through his curls, pulling here and now. Soon, your pieces of clothing were lost, now on the ground around his bed, sounds of pleasure echoing in the room. 

“I told you we’d need earplugs.” Ethan told his roommates, turning up the volume of the TV in the living room.

‘ have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life? ’

‘ i got to get to work. stick around town and stay out of the roads, okay? ’

‘ they aren't much of a family ... but what choice do i have? ’

‘ it's clear to me that you need them a lot more than they need you. ’

‘ i might not be a doctor but i know that there's no better cure for a sour face than a couple of boards and some choice waves. what do you think?  ’

‘ you're such a pain. ’

‘ come to join the party? ’

‘ the world out there is full of traps. here? here you have a family that loves you. ’

[ohmyplasticstars]

Barbaros Barrabam headcanons because I need them:

1. He doesn't hate humans-

→He doesn't actually hate humans despite it being his job of hunting them, he does find them interesting, how their minds work and what they do, he finds it entertaining enough

But he tries to not over do it because he is still gonna kill, capture and sell them

It's a bit like being an actual hunter yk, he's just killing them for his job, not out of spite

I think if he was in a really really good mood he might even exchange some words with the door man

2. On the Autism spectrum

→ self explanatory he's on the high functioning side tho

3. He has a fascination with humans

→ adding on to number 1, I think he has a odd hyper fixation on them xD he likes their concept as a species, he probably was reading their anatomy up to kill em but ended up getting derailed into culture ect and that's why he's so good at hiding, because he knows how to act the part

Probably has some misconceptions on em tho

4. He's stitch coded, from lilo and stitch

5. He's fuzzy got a think layer of fuzz to him, that only shows when he's puffed up angry like a cat or just had a bath and dried up

7. He has a tiny turtle tail that works like a dog tail, he probably tries to raise it out of instinct but realises his turtle tail ain't scaring anybody, he's probably untucked his shirt a couple of times to hide his tiny tail when he's excited, probably wags like a dog when he's happy

8. He has horns on his elbows and claws, and his horns everywhere get a tiny bit more bigger and jagged when he's pissed

9. Head over heels in love with lilitu, she likes him back <3

However anazareth doesn't get what lilitu sees in him, but he makes her happy and hasn't exactly done anything wrong so she can't do much except judge him. However they have bonded over sharing a love for tattoos and also he gives them a big discount on humans

10. Probably owns a human wet shop. Where you get fresh meat or humans whole and alive for whatever purpose you have in mind

(a wet shop is a shop where animals are kept alive, can be sold alive, or slaughtered after being bought to ensure freshness)

11. ABYSMAL CACTUS

12. Resting bitch face

→ He's not upset or angry he just has a resting bitch face by default

[pacisandpuzzles]

THE SIDES (+ extra) & THEIR PACIS ! (headcanons)

Not all of these will have images! Some of them will if I can find an example of what I am imagining :)

Under cut because it got super long!! -_-;

Roman - obviously, very disney themed or prince themed. He'd prefer red pacifiers, because it's his colour !!!, but will make an exception if it's a character he likes.

The 1st 1 is a Queen of Hearts themed paci, but I think Roman would love all the red details and especially the little crown. I also think Roman loves lilo & stitch (more than usual when he's regressing) & would have a blue paci if it means he can have stitch on his paci.

(Also I think stitch reminds him of his brother Remus and he loves his brother! Even if big him denies it)

(1 & 3 - bellesbinkies on IG, 2 - kittycat.crafts)

Orange - we haven't met him, but I think he loves orange juice and probably has a paci covered in oranges. (Big him is so upset everyone keeps comparing him to an orange and gets even more upset that little him loves oranges).

Janus - has to have a snake on it. If it doesn't have a snake on it he cries and cries and cries until Roman/whoever summons a new one/adds one. Unfortunately, I cannot find a paci that has snakes on it :(

It can be any colour and decorated any way, but it has to have a snake (or multiple, preferably). He also loves when his pacis are the colour of his caregiver(s)!!

I did find this one by bellesbinkies & I think it's right up his alley anyway :3 just imagine there's a snake on it, or janus will wail.

( 1 - bellesbinkies )

Remus - bright green and covered in as many charms and jewels as he can put on it. Once it becomes unusable and he starts all over with a new one!! I think he has a gir from invader zim center piece or a skelanimal (most likely lolita the dolphin).

He also 100% somehow chews through the all rubber pieces of his binkie . No one knows how he does it.

Patton - FROGS !!! He most likely owns like 20 pacis and theyre all different. One has a frog centerpiece and another one has a dog and another one has a rabbit and another one has a cat— he needs a million (even if logan tells him its impossible to own a million). He likes to switch out through out the day, he doesn't want any paci feeling unloved !!!

I bet he also loves pacis with shakers!

Logan - probably has around 3 or 4 pacis that he switches through, but his most used is something that looks like the one below. He also has his CG (or himself) glue on little letters that spells out "little star" :)

The rest of his pacis are dark blue with various themes, like doctor who and ocean animals! He has a bingo paci too (He loves bluey!)

Virgil - i found this one and this is SO virgil. He probably goes all out for his binkies !! He wants his binkie to be "spoopy", but not super scary or else he gets really scared (remus once tried gifting him one that was just a little too much for baby virgil & he couldnt sleep alone for weeks).

He uses one paci at a time, usually for months, but once he gets tired of it, he will swap it out.

EXTRA !!

C!Thomas - has a steven universe paci. It's red with a yellow shaker full of little stars (like steven's shirt)

Emile Picani - a snoopy paci that's black and white with little charms

Remy/Sleep - all black paci, covered in little "z"s with the words "sleepy baby" on it.

I love your wing au so much!!! I like to imagine Wind, Four and the other smaller members of the chain like to huddle under the wings of the bigger boys for warmth and comfort.

Do you have any other headcanons of the boys in your wing au to share?

AHHHH!!! Thank you!!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it so far!!! But oh my god yes!!! They for sure cuddle and huddle under the bigger boys wings all the time! Some more willingly than others tho lol  😂

But of course! I ALWAYS have more headcanons to share I'm so glad that you asked!

Linked Universe Winged Au Headcanons:

Time - I briefly went over this in the Preening post I made a little while back, but Time is oftentimes kind of the "safety net" for the other boys. Whether it's helping them hide from the wrath of the other members of the group or simply staying awake through the night to make sure they rest, Time is always there to support and catch his boys whenever and however they need him. However, he very rarely is the one to initiate physical contact and prefers to simply wait for the others to come to him. This is because he can have a tendency to be a bit overbearing and overprotective, and after the incident with Wind, he's had to learn to step back a little and trust that his boys will come to him when they need him. Because of this, he only initiates contact when he deems it absolutely necessary. He's also got the biggest wings in the group by far which makes him perfect for cuddles and an excellent shield from the rest of the world for those hidden beneath them.

I also headcanon that he secretly really hates the rain. He may have the Song of Storms at his beck and call, but it turns out that giant, soggy wings combined with heavy armor isn't very pleasant to try to travel, fly, or fight with. However, despite his own general dislike of the rain, he does not hesitate to sacrifice himself and his wings to be an umbrella of sorts for others in the group, especially the younger ones.

He's also VERY good at climbing trees. The guy grew up in a magic forest with a giant tree for a dad of COURSE he's good at climbing trees. The first time he beat Wild in a race left the rest of the group in complete and utter awe. He may be the oldest of the Links, but he's still got plenty of tricks up his sleeves.

Twilight - Twilight is the ultimate big brother and no you cannot change my mind. However, this means that he does have the big brother tendency to give noogies whenever he hugs people and overall just abuses his larger size to flop all over the others. Basically imagine that scene with Nani in Lilo & Stitch where she falls on top of Lilo claiming that gravity was increasing on her. That scene combined with the energy from large dogs who are convinced that they are actually lap dogs. That's Twilight. He's got a lot of love to give and often makes great efforts to ensure that everyone gets it regardless of their protests or if they actually want it at the moment. However, even though he does tend to show his affection in sometimes sillier ways, he can be very serious and will not hesitate to either push the others out of harms way or literally pull them closer under his wings when needed. In other words, while he's a bit of an overgrown puppy at times, he's also got a powerful bite to match his bark.

As for random headcanons, I headcanon that whenever Twilight gets wet he has a subconscious tendency to shake out his hair and/or wings like a dog. Gone for a swim? Shake. Coming inside to get out of the rain? Shake. Someone threw a bucket of water at him? Shake. While overall a harmless quirk, it has resulted in a lot of laughing (Wild) and cursing (Legend) from the others. He always tries to claim that he does it because he's just trying to get an early start on preening and drying off (no one believes him).

Sky - Sky is an absolute MASTER when it comes to cuddling. No one can resist his charm and those that try often find themselves gently persuaded under his wings regardless. He's got very large, fluffy wings that make cuddling ideal and has a tendency to "scoop" the others under his wings. He also has a habit of treating everyone who comes to him as his, "baby birds" regardless of their age or size. While it is very cute to see younger members like Wind or Hyrule tucked under his wings, it does make for a very funny sight when he does it to Time or Warriors. On top of that, Sky is also well known for his "magic wings" that can make anyone fall asleep when huddled beneath them.

A silly little headcanon I have about Sky is that he oftentimes "fluffs up" whenever he wakes up or falls asleep. It usually makes his hair, wings, and overall appearance appear very disheveled and the others like to tease him for it, especially since he's one of the main Links who insists on preening the others.

He also really likes fish. No other explanation for it other than he never had the chance to try it before leaving Skyloft and is equally fascinated and horrified by all the different varieties.

Warriors - I headcanon that he's not actually a huge cuddler the majority of the time! However, he does secretly love it whenever Time silently pulls him under his wings. This is because I believe Warriors generally has a hard time asking for help due to his history as a military leader where any sign of weakness can risk causing doubt or disloyalty within troops. On top of that, he also has the, "I'm the hero" complex which means that he generally prefers to help and comfort others rather than ask for help or comfort in return. Because of this, he loves it when the others (especially Wind) come to him and tuck themselves into his side because he gets to feel needed while still secretly finding and receiving comfort in return. The rest of the group know this, so they often purposefully position themselves near him to subtly help him whenever they can tell he's especially stressed or upset.

I headcanon that Warriors is actually an excellent musician, especially when it comes to the violin. Everyone always talks about how Legend is an excellent musician, but I feel like no one considers the possibility of other members of the group also having musical talents. Also he's a momma's boy. You take one look at that man and tell me you DON'T think he was a momma's boy. In this essay I will-

Legend - Legend is a prickly little shit when it comes to cuddling. He generally pretends that he doesn't like it when in reality his inner child is SCREAMING for someone to look after him for a change. However, instead of confronting those emotions like a mature individual he usually chooses to project them onto the younger members of the group instead. He's been nicknamed the "broody hen" of the group for this behavior as it often results in him being especially prickly and almost possessive of the others, especially Hyrule and Wind. However, when he IS forcibly pulled under wing he has a tendency to essentially "burrow" like a rabbit into the other persons side. He does in fact, hate that he does this as it reminds him of his "cowardly bunny heart" but the others all secretly find it adorable.

Legend's handwriting is HORRIBLE. He may be able to SPEAK several languages, but writing them is a whole other story. I also headcanon that this is due in part to him developing some sort of hand tremor that started when he and his ship got blasted with lightning in Links Awakening. He's trained himself to not let it affect his fighting skills, but writing is ROUGH.

Hyrule - Hyrule absolutely soaks up physical affection like a sponge. He's basically been alone his entire life and has had countless monsters chasing him for his blood for the majority of his life let him have his rest and hugs. Because of this, he absolutely adores cuddling and being cuddled in return! However, even though he loves it when others comfort and preen him, he finds it a bit frustrating that the others don't often come to him for comfort in return. He knows that they (usually) won't hesitate to come to him whenever they need his magic for physical healing, but it does hurt his feelings a bit that they don't often come to him for emotional healing. He's a bit like Wind in that regard where he wishes that they would trust him more.

As for silly headcanons, I'm a firm believer that Hyrule would eat sidewalk chalk if given the opportunity. I can't exactly explain why, but I feel like he would because he believes that sidewalk chalk and Smarties taste the same.

Wild - Wild is a bit of a complicated case in the way that he will gratefully accept any and all hugs and cuddles, but rarely asks for them. Listen, the guy may be able to speak after losing all his memories but some more personal things like asking for help are still a work in progress. Because of this, he loves it when other people are able to read him and determine his needs simply from what they see. However, because he loves this so much he will sometimes purposefully act out or behave in such a way that he knows will get the others to fuss over him rather than simply ask for cuddles. This is usually expressed in his preening habits or his general rough housing and teasing with the other members of the group.

I headcanon that he occasionally dreams of his past life before the Calamity. He very rarely actually remembers what it is his brain was trying to show him, so it often leaves him more upset than before he went to sleep because he feels like a failure for, "forgetting them twice."

On a less angstier note, I also headcanon that he would be stupidly good at Legos. Like, you know those kids that would build everything EXCEPT what they were "supposed" to build with the sets they received? That's exactly how Wild would be.

Four - Four is NOT a big fan of physical affection despite the others many attempts. He's a very independent person and often feels overwhelmed or claustrophobic when the others try to pull him in too close. The rest of the group have found that the best way to show physical affection towards him is through pats on the back/shoulders and hair ruffles rather than the usual flurry of feathers and hands. However, Four does love cuddling when he's split into well...Four individuals. He's much more comfortable cuddling with his other counterparts (and shadow) so it's a big adjustment getting used to the rest of the group all also trying to get close. He is getting better though! Right now his favorites are Time and Warriors because they keep to themselves and don't ask any hard questions.

I headcanon that Four is just perpetually cold. This guy does NOT handle the cold well and always has frozen toes and hands. The others complain about this often because he likes to touch them with his frozen limbs. Time is the most frequent victim of this.

Wind - This guy LOVES any and all kinds of physical affection EXCEPT for preening. He finds a lot of comfort in others tucking him under their wings and looking out for him, but hates it when others underestimate or try to coddle him because of it. He also finds a lot of joy in being a source of comfort for the others because he loves feeling needed and getting opportunities to be a "big" brother makes him feel like a real hero. As a warning though, he does have a tendency to tackle his victims he wants to cuddle with and even occasionally succeeds in full on knocking them over. He also kicks in his sleep. Sky discovered this the hard way.

As for other headcanons, I saw someone who reblogged one of my polls said that he puffs his feathers up a lot to appear bigger or more intimidating because he's seen it work with Time and Twilight. So yes, he does do this it's canon now but it's not very effective.

I also headcanon that Wind tends to flap his wings repeatedly whenever he gets really excited! It is very cute but there have also been many causalities as a result of this.

Bonus:

Ravio - He LOVES physical affection and has quite literally broken down Legend's house and emotional walls. He also frequently mimics sounds and voices and yes he does use this to bother Legend. Legend no longer trusts the sound of knocking because he assumes it's just Ravio messing with him. The tax collectors trying to contact him were not amused.

Age Swap bits with Panther Hybrid Mob but to the tune of Lilo & Stitch

———

Arataka is still sulking as they walk into the shelter. Anehito-nee ushers him forward with one hand on the small of his back, guiding him gently. He hates how fragile she treats him sometimes, but in this moment he's half glad for it. She's older than him by eight years, a purposeful child to Arataka's 'happy accident'. To Arataka, his parents don't seem all that happy to have him around.

Case in point; Anehito is taking him to the shelter today, because during the hurricane yesterday his parents had shoved him in the car kicking and screaming, leaving his beloved Wuu-chan tied up outside as they evacuated with the rest of the city. This morning, when they'd returned to an intact house, the only things that had been missing were the gutters and Arataka's dog.

When Arataka had started to cry, his parents had shoved him at his sister and told her to "take him somewhere to calm down" while they unpacked everything they'd stuffed in the car the day before.

Ice cream hadn't soothed Arataka. Neither had going to different dog parks and looking for Wuu-chan, because most of those dog parks had been wrecked. Six hours and a slow-setting sun later, Anehito is just as strung tight as Arataka and ready to take drastic measures.

So, the Seasoning City Humane Society it is.

But while he appreciate his nee-san's stubbornness—it had taken months to wear his parents down enough to get Wuu-chan in the first place and they certainly wouldn't like another animal in the house while they were trying to fix it, but Anehito has the incredible power of being a full grown adult who now only listens to their parents half the time—he just wants Wuu-chan back. He'd been old, his hips bad enough that he waddled instead of walked, but Arataka had loved him a lot. He was his only friend.

Plus, Arataka is pretty sure this place doesn't have any full dogs anymore. Over the years, the once rare breeds of "sapien-hybrids" had grown in number until they became as common as alley cats. Things with dog ears and human faces and digitigrade legs laying by fireplaces in big dog beds and being yanked around on leashes, all while being, notably, not a dog. Seasoning City is particularly overrun with them, and strays have become a big problem in recent years, so Arataka has no doubt that there's probably more hybrids in here than actual animals.

When he says as much to Anehito, the lady behind the counter smiles and reassures him, "Oh don't worry dear, they might look human, but they really aren't. Their brains aren't even well-developed enough to speak human language. The only real difference is that whatever pup you pick out will have a different diet."

"So you admit that you don't have any dogs in here," Arataka bites out, hugging himself. He wants Wuu-chan back, not some overgrown Frankenstein thing probably made in a lab or bred in a mill somewhere.

"Of course we have dogs! This past week we've brought in a pomeranian, a shepard mix, a—"

"Do they have human faces?" Arataka interrupts. When the woman merely blinks at him, taken aback, Arataka scoffs. "That's what I thought..."

"'Taka, don't be difficult," Anehito says, chiding. "Do you want to go back home empty-handed?"

And...

...Well no, obviously Arataka doesn't. He doesn't want to go home to a lonely house that will now be even lonelier than before. Anehito will be going back to her apartment soon, and Arataka will be left with nothing and no one to soothe his grief.

A new furry friend won't be Wuu-chan. But it also won't be nothing either.

Squeezing his arms tighter together, Arataka huffs. His expression must give him away, because Anehito nods. The woman behind the counter gestures toward the door to her left, and Anehito gives him a gentle shove towards it.

"Go on," she urges. "Pick someone out."

Grumbling, Arataka opens the door and steps inside, letting it close behind him. There's a short hallway, and then another door that leads to the actual kennel. Arataka slips through that one, and blinks.

There's a blocky maze of cages all around, with human features in every one. Arataka is disheartened to find that they're really aren't any real dogs back here, but he's quickly distracted from his disappointment by the way the hybrids are acting. A pair of tabby hybrids flatten themselves into the far corner of their cage, fur puffed up. Some sort of dog hybrid has somehow managed to scale the kennel fence and now clings to the top of it, trembling so hard the metal rattles. They all look positively terrified.

They're not looking at Arataka, but they're all pressed as far away from the outer hall as possible, as if something may attack them through the fence at any moment. Brow furrowed, Arataka looks around and tilts his head as he sees an open cage door to the right, at the far end of the hallway. He cocks an eyebrow, humming.

"So one of you is an escape artist, huh?"

He ventures a little closer despite himself, curious, and sees that the cage door has been bent and warped, the lock curled like a vacant banana peel and the chainlinks themselves twisted into the shape of a perfect circle; a big one. Whatever got out had to have been pretty large, but the door doesn't look ripped or eaten—just changed.

Weird.

The snake hybrid in the cage next to the bent one seems to have fainted. It looks a little gray in the face.

Arataka crouches down and sticks his fingers through the chain to poke it, concerned. It gives a weak, trembling hiss, but doesn't stir further. A little disturbed, Arataka backs up and starts looking around again.

He reaches the end of the hallway and turns, only to stop dead at the sight in front of him.

Something big stands in the middle of the next hall, a swath of shadow covering it even beneath the fluorescent lights. A sleek black tail lashes behind it, and when it turns to face Arataka, he can see that its eyes gleam like its tapetum is lit from within. It looks like a gorgon, with tendrils of black thrashing and swirling above its eyes as it lowers itself onto all fours. Arataka barely has time to breathe before it lunges at him, two long leaps before it crashes into his chest with all the force of a speeding train.

Arataka goes down with a cry of surprise, alarmed, but the strange hybrid doesn't take a bite out of him. Instead, it shoves its human nose against his neck and begins to snuffle, investigating Arataka's neck, his shoulder, his ear. He squeals a little when hot breath gusts past the cartilage, ticklish, and begins to giggle.

The hybrid pauses, pulling back to look down at him with a cocked head. From the well of lashing shadows, a rounded ear flicks curiously.

Grinning, Arataka reaches up and pets his hands through its hair—and it is hair, he finds, no matter how lively—scritching it behind a velvet ear. "Aw, you're friendly! My Wuu-chan liked to give hugs too," Arataka croons, already feeling a swell of affection rising up in his chest. He's always liked bigger dogs, though Wuu-chan was on the smaller side, being a corgi. Arataka is no stranger to being bowled over by the occasional overexcited gentle giant. The hybrid's gleaming eyes droop as Arataka brings up his other hand to pet both ears at once. "Poor guy, I bet that cage was too small for you, huh? You're bigger than the other ones."

A strange, grating noise rumbles its way out of the hybrid's chest, and Arataka blinks. It's a distinctly feline sound, but he's never seen a cat hybrid this big.

Shaking his head, Arataka walks curious fingers over its (his...?) head, and marvels at the sight of the shadows receding a bit at his touch. Enough for him to make out a slightly parted mouth, with a nice set of chompers glimpsed behind slack lips. This hybrid's skin is pale, his hands blackened into claws at the fingertips, and the thinnest line of fur fading out down his spine.

It's so cool.

Arataka's eyes are sparkling. His expression turns contemplative, then intent. Dropping his hands, he commands, "Get off now."

After a moment, the hybrid obeys, looking a little put-out that the pets have stopped. Pushing himself to his feet, Arataka dusts himself off and points, saying, "Sit!"

The hybrid sits, head cocked, like he's confused why he's being asked to do it. Face brightening, Arataka drops his stern expression and reaches forward to pet the hybrid again, rubbing his ears and scratching down the fur at the back of his neck. Another purr starts up, and even more of the shadows recede, enough for Arataka to make out the vague shape of a nose.

"Good boy!" he crows, elated. He squishes the hybrid's cheeks and declares, "Yep, you're the one. I'm not usually a cat person, but I can make an exception just this once. A troublemaker, but a good one! Just like me!" White eyes stare incomprehensibly back, but Arataka goes on. "How'd you like to come home with me?"

Given how quiet the kennel had been, and how silent the hybrid was, Arataka isn't expecting to get an actual answer. But he does.

"H...Home..." the hybrid gutters out, blinking. Arataka's jaw drops, and that sleek, black tail starts curling in a distinctly pleased way. "Home."

His voice is rough, unused, but very much a voice nonetheless. Arataka remembers that woman's words—they don't even have the ability to speak human languages—and wonders why he believed a word she said. This was very much a hybrid that just spoke to him, broken Japanese aside.

A big, talking, magic kitty that likes to give hugs.

Arataka squeezes the hybrid's head to his chest, petting faster, mussing up still-wiggly hair. The human features don't even bother him anymore; they're a feature, not a flaw.

Finally, he'll have a friend he can actually talk to.

"Yeah, you're coming home with me."

"Home," the hybrid croons, echoing. "Home with me."

Arataka grins. As he pulls back, his fingers catch on the standard black collar and he pauses. Tapping his foot, rubbing his chin, Arataka considers something. "Right, right, but first you need a name." Then, blinking, he thinks to ask, "Do you already have a name?"

The humanoid parts of the hybrid's body look adult; even bigger and broader than most grown men. It would make sense if he already had a name.

But he just cocks his head to the opposite side this time, staring again. Swaying hair, shadowed, pupiless eyes...

Maybe he didn't have a name. Maybe this was a pointless exercise.

Arataka sighs, then straightens his back, brandishing a finger forward and ending with a boop on the hybrid's nose. "Then, if you don't already have a name, you can be...Mob!"

Ears perk, and his tail flicks. "Mo-ob? Mob?"

"Yes, that's your new name," Arataka says with a firm nod. "I'll get you a new collar with your name on it once we get out of here!"

Arataka turns, fingers hooked in the black collar, and makes his way back to the first door. As they pass, the other hybrids whine and whimper in fear, clawing to get further away from them. A hamster hybrid passes out. Arataka rolls his eyes. What a bunch of babies.

He emerges out from the kennel, Mob in tow, in time to hear the woman behind the counter finishing up the paperwork with Anehito.

"—your number and address there. So, as of now, all of the animals we have are available for adoption—" she cuts herself as Arataka comes into view, eyes going wide as she cries out in alarm. "Except that one!" she shrills, swooping in to separate Arataka and Mob. Anehito-nee is there too, scooping Arataka up like he's ten again and hauling him back.

"What is that thing!?" Anehito screeches just as the other woman loops a leash around Mob's neck and holds him back. The shadows fill in again, just a little, and both girls shriek at the sight.

"I don't know, it was dead this morning!" the woman shouts.

"It was dead this morning!?"

She struggles to pull Mob back while also remaining as far from him as possible, eyes wide and spooked. "We thought it was dead! It was hit by a truck!"

Arataka frowns, wriggling to be put down. He's not a baby and all the screaming is making his ears hurt. "Well I like him! You're being mean to him!" Turning from his sister in a huff, Arataka holds out his arms in Mob's direction, calling for him even as Anehito hastily hauls him back further, feet off the floor. "Come here boy!"

Hair thrashing, Mob prowls forward, back muscles flexing a little as he heaves himself and the poor lady holding him towards Arataka, leash be damned. Arataka grins, giddy, and laughs as Anehito falls back onto one of the plastic chairs with a screech as Mob reaches up for Arataka and settles in his lap easily. Arataka gives him ear scritches for his effort.

"See?" he tells a distressed Anehito. "He's a good boy!"

"That is not a dog, Arataka," she grinds out after a moment, pupils pinpricked with panic even as her heartbeat begins to slow again.

"They don't have any dogs in here," Arataka fires back, clutching Mob's shadowy head close. The hybrid blinks placidly at him, eyes still glowing white, though it's less noticable out in the sun. "And I like this one! You told me to go pick someone out, and I pick Mob!"

"Mob?" the shelter lady ventures, brow furrowed.

Arataka pats Mob's head, silky black hair playing between his fingers. "That's his name now."

"Oh God," Anehito groans. "You already named it."

"Yep," Arataka chirps. His mood has improved tremendously since this morning, and he can see his nee-san's protests weakening the longer she watches him smile. He squishes Mob's cheek against his own, grin impish. A black velvet ear flicks against his wheat-gold hair. "So obviously we have to take him home now."

All of a sudden, like a candle flame being blown out, the blackness covering Mob's face fades rapidly. It recedes to make way for pale skin, a mild fanged mouth, and a pair of dark, dark irises. His hair goes slack, and as it falls back down into place Arataka can see that someone's given him a bit of a childish bowl cut. Mob yawns, sharp teeth flashing, and blinks mildly up at the Reigen siblings. A rough tongue slips out and slicks up Arataka's temple, making him cringe and laugh. He pushes Mob's face away, complaining, "Gross! Cat tongue!"

That seems to be the final nail that Anehito needs, because she studies Arataka and Mob carefully for one more moment, before sighing shakily and pushing to her feet. She squeezes out from beneath Arataka, leaving him to be squished by the full weight of Mob's upper half. Again.

A crisp five thousand yen note is stuffed in the other woman's hand. Anehito-nee sounds grave when she utters, "We'll take this one."

The woman looks at her like she's got a second head. But after a deadpan stare from his sister and vicious glare from Arataka himself, she slowly rounds the counter again and files everything away. A stamp, a signature, a receipt.

Arataka walks out of the Seasoning City Humane Society hand in hand with Mob, having refused the offered leash. He'd risen up on two legs when Arataka had offered his hand, and Arataka is delighted to know that his theory is correct. Mob is intelligent.

A clawed hand, the one not held by Arataka's small, soft one, reaches up and plays with the new brass tag on his collar. It has his new name, Arataka's phone number, and the Reigen address. He plays with it, turning it this way and that, trying to get his head down to see it better, batting at it so it jingles.

"Do you like it?" Arataka asks.

Mob looks down at him. Blinks again, slow and sure. "Yes."

His long tail curls around Arataka's wrist, and in the dying light of day, he can just barely make out wobbly spots in his midnight fur. Arataka's eyes widen. Mob is a jungle cat.

"Ahh so cool," Arataka whispers, swinging their hands happily. Anehito looks at him weirdly, but doesn't comment further. She must be preparing herself for the inevitable confrontation with their parents when they get back. She's much more relaxed around Mob now that he's not all dark and flickering like an old TV set.

"Remember, 'Taka, you have to be responsible with him. You know Mom and Dad aren't going to help you take care of him."

"Maah, nee-san, Mob can take care of himself," Arataka dismisses, waving his free hand. Mob can talk, after all, and he's an adult. Arataka briefly wonders if he really just bought a friend, the implications of such a thing ready to drown him—before he banishes the thought. It's not a nice one, and he's in a good mood right now; he wants that to last. "But I'll look after him! He's bigger than...than Wuu-chan, so he'll need a different bed." He looks up at Mob, who's already looking back at him. "You can sleep in my bed for now. What kind of food do you like to eat? I like ramen, it's the best."

Mob opens his mouth to respond—

But Anehito beats him to it. "Hybrids can't talk, Arataka."

"Well he can!" Arataka insists, scowling. Anehito just sighs and looks forward again. Mob seems to consider this for a moment, and then closes his mouth. Arataka huffs. "I'll just ask you when we get home."

Mob's tail uncoils from Arataka's wrist to brush it pleasantly back and forth, pushing up fluff against the delicate bones of his wrist. He gives Arataka the tiniest smile.

Home.

Mandela Catalogue HCs

heheh hyperfixation go brrrrr

Please don't yell at me if these suck im sensitive 🥺 /hj

Mark:

Would have been the best big brother to Sarah I stg

Not afraid to wear a tiara and feather boa and have a tea party with her

This towering young man sat on a dinky little plastic chair sipping imaginary tea, pinky out and all

Aaagghhhhhhh i love him

Definitely one of those "super talented, high iq, gifted kids" before the burnout hit him

Every Christmas, Easter, and birthday he'd ask his parents for a dog. He never got one :(

Not exactly a Disney adult, just a big fan of animated movies in general.

I think his favorites would be The Iron Giant, Monsters Inc, and Lilo and Stitch

Honorable mentions to The Fox and The Hound and Oliver and Company but they make him cry

Mark Heathcliff best boy 1,000,000/10

Cesar:

Cesar fans, you have my whole heart fr

You really took nothing and ran with it I can't not respect that

I see him as a total mama's boy. As far as I know, there's no mention of his dad anywhere so I imagine it's just him and his mom.

As a little boy he was like "I'm gonna be the man of the house now!" and he stuck to it like glue

Taking the trash out, doing the dishes, mowing the lawn because "Mom, you deserve to get off your feet, you're working too hard"

I think him being a mama's boy and having so much respect for her would translate into huge respect for women in general

I like the idea of him painting his nails ❤

His room is like a walk-in freezer you can literally see his breath when he sleeps

Used to skateboard but eventually "grew out of it" (he actually broke his wrist and is too scared to do it again)

Adam:

This toxic little fuck i love him

The most "dont talk to me until I've had my coffee" person you'll ever meet.

Not having consistent access to coffee must have been miserable for him when he was on the run. Doubly miserable for poor Jonah having to put up with a grouchy Adam for who even knows how long

You remember that tiktok trend from a few years ago like "I look really intimidating until I smile"? ADAM ADAM ADAM ADAM ADAM!!!

He's such an angsty little shit with the most severe case of resting bitch face disease but on the rare occasion he actually smiles??? Human sunshine

Definitely the type to look down when he smiles to try and hide it

Wouldn't be caught DEAD singing out loud, but will absolutely murmur songs to himself under his breath.

Just imagining him folding laundry or cooking and singing whatever song is stuck in his head to himself I LOVE THIS MAN

He likes rock music in general but I feel like he's really into songs like Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. Yknow those really mopey mid 2000s ballads?

Shattered by OAR, Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol, stuff like that

Jonah:

Rip jonah you would've loved tiktok

Was a theater kid but he got kicked out of class. Dude was just too hyper to follow directions

What can he say? He just stole the spotlight 🤪 (he's crying inside)

Walks into every room twirling his car keys around his finger like a dork

Can not be trusted to stand still, it's best to just make him wear one of those backpack leashes for everyone's safety

A gamer but not in a toxic way. He's actually terrible at games but he thinks it's fun to dick around and goof off in them.

You knows those "girlfriend who bites" memes? That's him. He's the girlfriend who bites.

Thatcher:

You've heard of wine moms, you've heard of wine aunts, well get ready for wine dad

I feel like he paints? He strikes me as very artsy

Loves plants but can't keep them alive for shit. It's not even that he forgets to water them, he follows all the instructions, the plants just hate him

Can't sleep without a TV on, or at least some sort of white noise or music playing.

Total garbage at gift giving lmao but he's trying his best

"I got you this card. Happy birthday."

"Thatcher, this says 'My condolences'"

"I know"

your match-up game looks like so much funnn so i'm gonna submit one for myself 💖

dragula by rob zombie …. i only rly discovered it like two weeks ago but it’s one i play a lot while working bc for some reason it helps me focus lol

just took a test and got nine, the peacemaker. idk much abt enneagrams 🫣

hmm yes but only when i’m feeling spicy. and they’re almost always about video games in some regard, like analyses or creepypasta deep dives yk?

i don’t think i ever had a REAL imaginary friend. i remember trying for a little while because i thought it’s what all kids were supposed to do, but i never like. Believed in it

sleep aid audios! lately it’s been redacted (i have a whole folder of faves on my phone lol) but before that it was asmrtists like gibi. sometimes i take melatonin too ‘cause it takes me ages to fall asleep 😪

i changed my name around late 2019 to angel when i was just coming into my nonbinary-ness; i took it from the video game borderlands 2! i went back to my given name in 2021/2022 but being angel was fun for a while <3

milo’s panic attack audio i think. i was just getting into redacted and starting from the top and it just made me feel so cozy and locked him in as a fave :’) OOH also the pack smash tournament!! i love multi-speaker videos and that one was so much fun

vincent ……. i’m so sorry i’ve tried three times to listen to his playlist but he bores me 😭 the farthest i’ve gotten is past adam, though i listened to his involvement in inversion and picked up with him after the summit

do video games count bc if so i can quote resident evil 4 2005 ALLLL DAY LONG it’s my favorite game ever. if not i’m gonna say lilo and stitch ‘cause that’s my biggest comfort movie

 HUXLEY. like dgmw i love his non-canon audios & he’d be just the sweetest boyfriend but i want to be his friend so baadlyyy i just need one good huxley hug and i think it would cure me

nooo when i’m sleepy i just get quiet 🫠 i’m not a big talker in general i think

blue raspberry slushie + honey bun OR dr pepper + chili cheese fritos. depends on my mood

recently ummm it’s been a playlist i made called violent devotion, which is basically just yandere-type songs hehe

aw man ok. so i was a big homestuck fan in my teens and i rly loved broadway karkat, & last week i discovered all my faves are on spotify :’) so i made a playlist of them and spent all weekend revisiting my past

HMM okay here’s some rapid fire facts: i’m the eldest of three, i’m a dog person, i’m an introvert,  i can be very stubborn (taurus 👋🏻), i tend to prefer video games over tv/movies, and overall personality-wise i relate the most to honey out of all the listeners!

So I consider a lot of factors when I do these, I swear I do. That said- you’re a Honey-kinnie but also a dog person? Who else can I pair you with but Asher?

Your personality types, in addition to your being an eldest child, hint to me that you’re a steadfast, reliable person and therefore an excellent foil to Asher who could use someone like that in his life to ground him. In contrast, I think his extroverted, bubbly nature would bring you out of your shell, endear you to the rest of the pack as the beta’s mate. Also, I think your love of video games and homestuck would really bring y’all together. (Out of all the boys, he’s deffo the most likely to be a homestuck.)

You’d have such a fun, chill life together, because Asher keeps it fun and chill, you know? I think Asher spends a lot of time wolfed out and with his big, dog head on your lap while you play video games. He jumps during the scary games and shifts back during co-ops so he can play with you. He comes home from a gig with either a honey bun or Fritos, because he wasn’t sure what the vibe was today, so he’ll eat whichever one you don’t want. You do 7/11 snack runs and compete to see who has the bluest tongue. It’s a great life.

Song:

Ooh, I'm in love/ It's a mystery/ When I see you out at night/ I start to get dizzy/ Before I see you I pick out some things to say/ Don't want to sound foolish and waste my chance away/ Oh, I'm not gonna make the same mistakes/ I'm not gonna run/ Just pick the boy you like

This song is peak Asher-vibes; do you know what I mean? Like, I think this is the kind of music he’d like, this sort of alternative indie pop rock sound. (Side note, the guitarist’s name is literally Darlin, so that’s a sign right there.) This song in particular is so fun and catchy; I can see Asher singing this at you incessantly no matter how long he’s already been your boyfriend.

Runner-ups:

Milo is a runner-up because you’re a dog person /hj It’s also because I would kill to watch him watch you play RE4 or any other horror game- that would be hilarious. Guy is another runner-up because, behind Asher, he’s the second most likely to have had a homestuck phase.

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

[tellmegoodbye]

Hey!! 😊 I hope you're having a great day!! Okay, so a few questions for you:

What's your favorite non-Tarlos scene in the show? Or your top few scenes because I know it can be nearly impossible to pick just one haha!

Do you have any pets? If not, are there any animals you'd like to have?

Damn, it is hard to choose just one! There are a couple that come to mind but I know I'm probably forgetting some here.

The scene where Tommy finds Charles dead. It really drags out and allows you to feel her grief right along with her and those several moments of silence when she's just sitting there as the sun comes up.....that hits so hard.

Any scene between Carlos and Owen, but also specifically the one in Bad Call. I really enjoy their dynamic, and I think there's still so much potential for them to have more scenes together because they are very similar characters.

And I'll shout out some episodes that have a bunch of my favorite non-tarlos scenes, Shift-Less and Saving Grace. These are honestly two of my favorite episodes in the whole show. My top three would be these two, plus One Day, which I already mentioned.

And yes, my top three episodes aren't tarlos centric. As much as I love them, these just happen to be the episodes I constantly return to. I'm a sucker for the begins-style episodes.

Now, pets!!! I do have pets and I love them dearly ^_^ Three dogs and three cats, to be precise. Not all in the same house, some are my mom's and some are my dad's.

This is Wags! He's 14, so he's an old boy, but he's still got a lot of energy! He also loves his purple blanket 💜

This is Lilo and Stitch, and the story behind their names is funny because none of us have actually seen the movie. Lilo already had her name when we got her, and I decided it would be cute if they matched.

I don't have a lot of pictures of them because they're shy.

This is Max and Maddie! Max is very clingy and loves resting his head on every surface he can find. Maddie is very talkative and starts howling when she's excited.

And finally, this is Bruno! He's very sweet, but doesn't get along with other dogs sadly. He's also pretty old.

location: outside the v8 cafe

starter: @626bxtch

walking out of the cafe, coffee in hand, mertle was able to take a deep breath of fresh air. ever since her little... display in the cafe in front of lilo, mertle had been avoiding it like the PLAGUE. she'd peak in through the window to see if she was working... and today was the first day she didn't see her all too familiar face at the counter. humiliation wasn't enough to begin describing how mertle felt, and seeing lilo and having her think they were friends because of it wasn't something the red head wanted to tolerate anytime soon. however, her moment of bliss was disturbed when she noticed an equally familiar face approaching, lifting her sunglasses to sit atop her head. "i knew that was WET DOG i was smelling," mertle quipped, sipping her beverage through her straw, not even bothering to shift her resting bitch face to compliment her humor. "weird to see you off the leash lilo keeps you on... did she leave the front door open or something?"

Hey Sweetheart,

Sorry for the super late night letter. If you’re asleep already, I wish for you get the rest you need and to have the sweetest of dreams. I hope you wake up with a smile on your face and ready to take on the weekend. I’ve been thinking about you all day. Wishing I could have sent a letter earlier today, but alas. I realized you don’t know anything about me. That’s totally unfair to you, so here it goes:

I should probably start with the question everyone asks me first, I’m 5’10”. I’m in my late 20’s and a Libra. I have long dark brown curly hair, dark brown eyes, and pale-ish skin because I don’t go outside a ton during the summer. Oh if you look very closely (I do mean closely), I have freckles across the tops of my cheeks and nose. No tattoos (yet). My nose was pierced, I’m planning on getting it repierced eventually.

I love 70’s-80’s metal and rock. My favorite bands are Eagles, Anthrax, Kansas, Mötley Crüe, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, W.A.S.P., Twisted Sister, Guns N’ Roses, Scorpions, Metallica, Quiet Riot. I can’t play the guitar for shit but I want to learn. My guilty pleasure music is Musicals and Disney stuff (gotta satiate the childhood nostalgia). My favorite colors are maroon, black, and dark green. I’m very introverted (hints the secret admirer letters). I’m definitely social with friends, family, and whoever I’m in a relationship with. I play D&D every Sunday (except this month, we are on a break because holidays). Lost Boys, E.T., Lilo & Stitch, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, The Goonies, and Treasure Planet are my favorite movies.

I’ll never part with my converse or my black boots. I love to read and write. My dreams and imagination are so vivid it’s like watching a movie scene play out in my head. I’m an insomniac and a night owl. I’m definitely aware of how that’s a bad combo. I swear like a sailor but I try not to in the letters to you and I think I’m doing a pretty damn good job so far😉. I’m fiercely loyal and will not judge anyone. I trust only once. Meaning, I refuse to let my trust being taken for granted. I will take any chance to stand in the rain. I love campfires and stargazing. I love late night drives. I’m a dog person who ended up with a cat. I would die for her.

I’m super excellent at communication. I really hate yelling. If there’s an issue or a disagreement I’d rather work it out together, talking, then it turn into a screaming match. I’m a super affectionate person, it’s my love language for sure. Snuggles, cuddles, head kisses, cheek kisses, mouth/tongue kisses and tons of hugs. I have a niece who told me my hugs are pretty magical sooooo do with that information what you will. I love for whoever I’m in a relationship with to feel safe, like all the bad things world have disappeared. Sorry I know that was a ton. But If you have any questions for me (even if it’s the spicy not pg-13 variety, didn’t know if you would feel comfortable with me talking about it), I’d be more than happy to answer them.

Song to go with this letter: Wild Side- Mötley Crüe

-Your Secret Admirer

awwww thank you for sending this!! you have such great taste, in movies, music, and favorite colors. i’m also an introverted night owl, but I can be social with my loved ones as well. i’m just very shy at first until I get to know someone, then the fun, weird side of me will definitely come out!

i cant think of any questions right now, but i’ll ask some if any arise! feel free to ask me anything as well! i’ll answer, if im comfortable doing so!

[passingfaces]

closed starter: utp @eclvpses location: state park

Ian spent this afternoon the same way he spent the rest of his days off, tossing a frisbee at the park for Lilo and Stitch. There weren't many people out so the dogs had plenty of room to run and he enjoyed the feeling of the sun on his face and the wind through his curls. He didn't think to take that wind into account when he was throwing, unfortunately, and the frisbee managed to hit one of the only other people at the park. "I'm so sorry," he called out, jogging over as he spoke.
