Title: Earning It Back

Fandom: UConn Women’s Basketball

Pairing: Paige Bueckers x Reader , Ice Brady x Reader

Rating: T (Teen)

Warnings: Angst, emotional distress, slow-burn forgiveness, fluff, redemption

Summary: After overhearing Paige and Ice’s bet, you were devastated. Trying to move on has been nearly impossible, especially with Paige constantly trying to earn your forgiveness with flowers, coffee, gifts, and heartfelt apologies.

Part 2 of: Played

Every morning, I woke up hoping it was all just a bad dream.

But then I’d see the flowers on my doorstep—fresh, beautiful, and wrapped with care. And I’d know it wasn’t.

Paige hadn’t let up since that night at the party. If anything, she’d doubled down. Flowers, coffee with little notes scribbled on the lids, stuffed animals sitting on my bed with little apology cards clutched in their paws. Jewelry boxes with delicate necklaces—my birthstone, my favorite colors, a little charm in the shape of a basketball.

It was too much.

And yet, not enough.

Every time I found another gift, my heart twisted painfully, caught between anger and a longing I couldn’t shake.

“Hey, can we talk?”

I looked up from my lunch tray to find Ice standing there, shifting awkwardly from foot to foot.

I sighed, not in the mood. “About what?”

She swallowed hard. “About… everything.”

My appetite vanished. “Ice, I—”

“I’m sorry,” she blurted out. Her eyes were wide and desperate. “I was an idiot. A huge idiot. I never meant to hurt you.”

I shook my head, my voice bitter. “Well, you did.”

Ice flinched, looking down. “I know. And I’m trying to make up for it. I really am.”

My walls stayed firmly in place. “I don’t need you or paige to leave flowers or stuffed animals or—”

“That’s not what I’m trying to do,” she interrupted, her voice thick. “I just… I want you to know that I’m sorry. And I’ll keep saying it until you believe me.”

I stared at her, my heart aching. “I don’t know if I ever will.”

She nodded slowly, taking a step back. “Okay. But I’m not giving up.”

Days passed. Then weeks.

Paige was even more relentless than Ice.

She would show up after my classes with my favorite smoothie, barely catching my eye as she set it on the table and walked away. My locker would be filled with handwritten notes, pages and pages of apologies and confessions that I didn’t have the strength to read.

And then there were the games.

I avoided them at first, not wanting to see her face, to watch her play and pretend everything was fine. But word got around fast—Paige wasn’t fine.

“You need to talk to her,” KK said, sliding into the seat beside me in the cafeteria.

I didn’t even look up. “No, I don’t.”

Azzi sat down on my other side, her tone softer. “Y/N, she’s… she’s not herself. She’s missing shots she’d normally make with her eyes closed. Coach is pissed.”

My chest tightened. “That’s not my problem.”

KK leaned forward. “It kinda is. You’re all she thinks about. She’s trying to figure out how to get you back. She doesn’t care about anything else.”

I swallowed hard, my appetite gone. “She should’ve thought about that before making me a bet.”

Azzi reached over, covering my hand with hers. “She’s messed up, Y/N. She knows that. But she’s trying.”

I pulled my hand back, crossing my arms. “It doesn’t just fix things.”

KK sighed, looking frustrated. “No, but it’s a start.”

The next morning, I found Paige sitting on the steps of my dorm, a fresh bouquet in her hands.

I stopped, my heart pounding. “What are you doing here?”

She stood slowly, the flowers trembling slightly in her grasp. “Waiting for you.”

I bit my lip, fighting the emotions welling up inside me. “Paige…”

“Please,” she whispered, stepping closer. Her eyes were red-rimmed, dark circles under them from nights without sleep. “Just hear me out.”

I hesitated, then sighed, nodding. “Fine.”

She exhaled shakily. “I’m sorry. God, I’m so sorry. I was an idiot—I let my ego get in the way, and I didn’t think about your feelings. I didn’t think about what it would do to you.”

I looked down, my vision blurring. “You made me feel like a joke.”

“I know.” Her voice cracked. “And I hate myself for it. I hate that I hurt you. That I lost you. Please… just tell me what I can do to make it right.”

I swallowed hard. “You can’t just throw gifts at me and expect it to be okay.”

“I know,” she said, her voice desperate. “I know that. But I just… I wanted you to see that I care. That I love you.”

My breath hitched. “You don’t—”

“I do,” she insisted. “God, I do. More than anything.”

A tear slipped down my cheek, and I wiped it away angrily. “Then why? Why did you do it?”

She shook her head, tears brimming in her eyes. “Because I was stupid. I thought it was just a game. I didn’t realize—I didn’t realize how real it would get. How real you would get.”

I looked away, struggling to breathe. “I can’t just forget this.”

“I’m not asking you to,” she whispered. “I’m asking for a chance to prove that I’m not that girl anymore. That I’m yours—if you’ll still have me.”

Silence stretched between us, heavy and suffocating.

Finally, I took a shaky breath. “You have a lot to prove.”

A spark of hope lit in her eyes. “I know.”

“And Ice—”

“Already handled,” she promised. “She’s as sorry as I am. She’s been trying to find a way to tell you.”

I nodded slowly, my defenses crumbling. “Okay.”

Paige stepped closer, cautiously. “Okay?”

I exhaled, tears slipping free. “Okay.”

And when she wrapped her arms around me, holding me like I was the most precious thing in the world, I let myself believe that maybe—just maybe—we could find our way back to each other.

Was Nico really as significant as queer rep as people make him out to be? Or is it just nostalgia causing them to believe he is a lot more significant than he actually is? It's hard for me to gauge so I was wondering if you have an answer 😅

A lot of queer characters in fandom spaces particularly very popular ones were really only side characters or they were more frequently just presumes straight and no one was ever told otherwise. A lot of the big name fiction out there had characters that you had to create gay subtext for if you wanted any at all. (Which to be fair stems from male authors inability to write good enough female characters that a lot of the people wanted to ship male characters with other male characters because they were the only ones with character development) Nico was for the first time a 1. main character in a 2. Large fandom and was 3. Explicitly specified (not subtextually) as queer. He checked a lot of boxes all at once. Not to mention that the way he was outed, the fear, all of the “bad” things a lot of people say were handled with his character were all things that Millennial queers had to deal with. We didn’t have all the safe spaces or acceptance so that was realistic to a lot of our experiences.

But obviously these are generalizations and they’re based on my observations of what I saw and also colored by the country I live in (USA). So perhaps this isnt true or perhaps there are some nuances I am missing.

Personally, Nico and I came out the same year. It was my favorite book series, Nico was my favorite character and it seemed all of our favorite headcanons (Nico is gay and had a crush on Percy) became true. So it was a absolutely significant to me. I remember screaming with joy when I saw the excerpt and I was texting my partner about it and she was equally excited.

It was pretty big news in the fandom. A lot of fans were excited. And it was a kids book so that was significant in that kids could see themselves in Nico, and it would be validating.

Anyway sorry for the ramble, but I think, to answer your question, it was significant but perhaps was accented by nostalgia of the people who experienced it. It was iconic to us but it may not have been that big a deal to the world at large or even the fandom at large tbh.

I dunno who else you asked but imma tag some other people who were in the fandom back then bc maybe they can offer more insights or helpful opinions?

Lonely Nights

pairing: emperor caracalla/wife!reader

summary: caracalla wakes up lonely without his wife and decides to go to her

author's note: this is my first fic in the gladiator fandom 🎉 i have a few fics in progress right now (most of them are for geta) but this one got posted first because it's short, the plot is simple, and so it didn't take me much time to complete. i have a geta fic with a similar plot as this one but i'm not sure if i'll be posting that one. enjoy :)

~~~

The palace was too eerily silent in the dead of night. The only sounds were the occasional crackles of the fire in the brazier. Most of Rome slept, but Caracalla was wide awake, his mind feverish, his skin clammy.

His thoughts were a mess, slipping between aggression and yearning. He had spent the day and evening indulging himself. Watching gladiators slaughter each other, drinking enough wine to drown a lesser man, and laughing as his little monkey Dondus pranced about in the small dress he had commissioned just for him. But now none of it satisfied him. Things were too quiet and he felt too alone.

He craved warmth. His wife’s warmth to be exact.

His wife had retreated to her own chambers for the night, a habit Caracalla detested. He had tolerated it long enough. He could order a guard to summon her, but impatience gnawed at him. He didn’t want to wait for her to come to him. So he decided he would go to her. 

With a sharp exhale, he rolled out of bed with the sheets bunched up around his body while grumbling to himself about how dare his dear wife make him do things like this. He walked barefoot through the dimly lit corridors, his breath slightly uneven. His body ached in ways he didn’t quite understand, but his mind was focused on only one purpose. He needed to be with her.

The Praetorian guards outside his wife’s chambers barely had time to register his presence before he shoved the doors open, stepping into the dimly lit room. A fire burned low in the brazier, casting its flickering shadows across the mosaic covered floors and spreading its warmth throughout the room. The curtains were slightly open, letting the moon’s light stream in. His wife lay on her side, her delicate form curled beneath soft linen sheets. His wife only ever wanted the most softest and most velvety of sheets and blankets on her bed. She remained unaware of his entrance.

Caracalla stood over her for a moment, his mood wavering. He had wanted to storm in, to rudely wake her and make his frustration known to her, to demand why she always left him alone at night. But now that he's here looking at her peaceful form, something inside him softened.

He slid under the soft sheets, pressing his skin against the coolness of her body. His arm draped over her waist, and he nuzzled his face into her neck, inhaling her sweet scent.

His wife stirred, her body tensing before she groggily turned to face him. “Caracalla?” she murmured, her voice thick with sleep.

“You weren’t in my bed,” he mumbled against her skin, arms tightening around her as if she might slip away again.

“You were still drinking when I retired,” she replied, though she made no move to push him away. “I thought you would be preoccupied.”

His grip on her hips grew possessive. “I’m never too preoccupied for you.”

His wife exhaled, her fingers brushing against his bare chest, feeling his coarse hair there. He was volatile, she knew. The slightest thing could set him off. He could be a cruel, wrathful man angry over things his ill mind had imagined or he could be like a needy, affectionate child depending on the moment.

Tonight she was thankful that he was the latter.

Caracalla pressed his lips against her shoulder. His breath warm against her skin. “I don’t like sleeping alone,” he admitted. “It makes my head hurt.”

His wife sighed. Her fingers gently threading through his fiery hair. “Then sleep husband, you are not alone now” she whispered, pressing a small kiss to his forehead.

He made a sound of contentment, his body relaxing against hers. For now the storm inside him was quiet.

~~~~

you would think not much research would need to go into a fic this short but when I mentioned the brazier in Caracalla's room and his wife's room, I had originally put the word "fireplace" but that seemed too simple for ancient Rome so then I used the word "hearth" but that didn't seem quite right either so I finally looked it up. I found out that wealthy Romans often used a hypocaust, which was underfloor heating, in certain rooms. If a room didn't have a hypocaust then they would use a portable brazier that would be filled with charcoal. I'm still not sure if bedrooms would have had a hypocaust so I just used the brazier for this fic 😭

I guarantee a post like that in the Jayvik tag or Caitvi tag, even if it was respectful and had logical points, would get torn apart. If you disagree that's fine but I stand by that statement and I'm not willing to test it out on my own blog.

This is why "anti" tags exist (There's an anti meljay tag, an anti jayvik tag, etc.).

I feel that you're assuming most fans will be respectful, post in good faith, and be interested in a healthy debate instead of just arguing. But you said so yourself- this fandom especially has so much infighting. Tagging posts the way you're suggesting will only make the atmosphere more toxic than it already is.

Plus, sometimes people just post negative content about a ship because they want to express those negative feelings- not necessarily to have a discussion or share thoughtful points.

Think of this from the perspective of someone in a smaller corner of fandom. Jayvik shippers outnumber Meljay 10 to 1 (rough estimate). If Jayvik fans used the Meljay tag to air out their issues with the ship it would absolutely be flooded with anti-Meljay content which would be irritating as hell.

Imagine opening the Jayvik tag and all the posts are about "why do people see them as a couple, they're brothers," "CL confirmed it's not real," "Jayvik doesn't make sense" - of course discourse is enjoyable but its tiring to constantly see your ship get dunked on, good intentions or not.

I have no issue with people posting things in the Meljay tag that I disagree with. The reason I found this post distasteful is that it read as shipper bait. And yes that was an assumption: but tone doesn't always carry over text and we're all bound to make assumptions about posts. You yourself assumed ppl who took issue with the tagging are hating on OP (And I appreciate you apologizing for being a little harsh). The good thing about online discourse is that we can ask for clarification and at least reach an understanding (like me and that other commenter did with OP).

It's not unreasonable to assume that an ambiguously worded post like this was something that didn't belong in the Meljay tag, for reasons I already discussed.

Fandom culture has changed a lot - I have consistently seen people emphasize that not all content related to a ship should be in the ship tag, especially when anti-tags exist.

Case in point: This is a post I made about why Jayce's affection for Viktor does not mean he doesn't also love Mel, and that it's possible to ship Jayvik without hating on Meljay. I was hoping this post would reach Jayvik shippers so I tagged it as such initially:

And this is a comment I received on that post.

This commenter and I actually ended up having a polite conversation about our takes which was nice. This person wasn't going out of their way to be aggressive- they were just put off by the tagging, and because I was courteous and removed the tag they were more open to having a civil debate. Which goes back to my other point- if people tagged the way your suggesting it would NOT be conducive to a nontoxic atmosphere. I'm not saying I agree with it or like it but that's just the reality of the situation.

I have seen many other comments like this pointing out issues with tagging. So I err on the side of caution.

If you disagree that's cool - just expect that people will point out what they see as tagging issues because fandom culture has shifted.

Wait a sec Mel can sense people’s emotions and has literally had her power since before she was born so the entire time she and Jayce were having sex she could tell he wanted to fuck Viktor and was just like “mm that’s kinda hot ngl”

Hey guys he’s a ramble for you!

Ugh I love MegOp but I need in a show or something and it’s an adult cartoon (bc of language and references) about just after megs got kicked out of iacon and it’s them fighting and Op and Megatron having the following conversation;

~ Open scene : everyone is fighting on a oil rig, like in GEN1 the Decepticons are stealing earths resources to get back to cybertron. Blood, gore, swearing and we zoom in on MEGATRON and OPTIMS PRIME fighting ~

OPTIMUS PRIME; MEGATRON! WE DONT HAVE TO FIGHT!

MEGATRON; Darling, where’s the fun in that?

Everyone else; 🤨 *camera turns around to the crowd of autobots and Decepticons and they all pause and stop to possess what megs just said*

OPTIMUS PRIME; YOU— *just registered that Megatron referred to him darling* ….You won’t win, M-megatron… *he is flustered, he is definitely blushing, everyone can tell*

MEGATRON; OH YES, I WILL! *sexy evil laugh* I WILL TAKE YOU DOWN, PRIME! *is aware he’s flirting with his ex in front of everyone*

*fighting continues*

KNOCKOUT; Were they trying to interface verbally oooorrrr….? *knockout says this just as the fight is wrapping up and almost over*

OP AND MEGS; WHAT?! NO THIS IS NORMAL FIGHTING ARGUMENTS!!!!

*out of embarrassment both sides flee back to THEYRE OWN RESPECTED SIDES but the Decepticons won this round*

End scene!

And this show would be like a MegOp shipper’s dream! It would have the transition thing from gen1 too!!!

and maybe IDW comics’ design or maybe earthspark’s design for them and it would be an entire new continuity with dark satire elements with references to the comics and references to the fandom (valveplug) and to sweeten up the fandom even more will throw in some characters like hot rod/rodimus and ultra Magnus and make all the women hot and make some Characters non-binary bc we can and references to Unicron and Primus, maybe even a flashback of Optimus prime, talking to previous and previous being a massive dick to him and being NOTHING Like the myths say like;

Open scene - in the autobot base

OP; I still remember the day he saved me.

*Insert flash back transition to being in cybertron’s core*

Primus; oh shiiiiiiiit, You’re real fucked uppppp…. EVERYONE COME LOOK AT… Uhhhhh… what’s your name again?

OP; Orion Pax….

Primus; OH YEAHHHHHH!! EVERYONE COME LOOK AT ORION!!!

The 13; oh shit, you right- *talking amongst themselves, overlapping talking*

Primus; RIGHT NOW SHUT UP!

Everyone; *is quiet very quickly*

Primus; ok so Orion, we’re gonna change your name and fix you up and here you can have that too!

OP; w-whats my new name— IS THAT THE MATRIX OF LEADERSHIP?!

Primus; YUP YOURS NOW! uhhhh and You’re now OPTIMUS PRIME! Anyways Bye have fun

The 13; bye!

END SCENE

And maybe even shenanigans with dark Energon but uh Give me more ideas on this, reader, please! Give me more ships to add to this!!!!  this was going to start off as an AU post but motherfucker, I’ve just made up a new Continuity! A follow-up from TFone but A little bit more silly!

[olderthannetfic]

I've mostly escaped that side of ff fandom so far, but i guess my luck just ran out.

Today I came across a fic. It was tagged: Friends with benefits /except they don't fuck / because I wouldn't debase my girlies like that.

Which... wtf. I do not take offence at keeping things G-rated. The characters are teenagers and don't seem to be sexually active in canon. But what in the world is debasing about women having sex??

--

[tsukiko31]

Ok, I have feelings and I go on a rant...

I think we are also forgetting that the Walburga and Orion are proud and political figures that care about appearences. Of course they did not carry the Dark Mark, they were not going to put all their eggs in one basket. They are smarter than that, but no less Pureblood supremacists that consider everyone else scum.

Yes absolutely Regulus did a shitty and very wrong thing. He has horrible beliefs in canon. And this IS a direct result of his upbringing. If this is the only thing you are exposed to, you are abused and threatened into obedience? Well, a lot of people would sucumb to this. Which is why cults are horrible things even in real life. It IS a very serious form of abuse. THE ONLY REASON Sirius Black managed to escape and grow some morals, because let's face it, he did shitty and horrible things too, is BECAUSE he befriended James Potter. His family was sufficiently influential to help him out if that place. He had somewhere to run to. He had an out. Also James, Remus and Peter have influenced him heavily since his first year.

DID REGULUS HAVE THIS? Not according to everything in canon. And does this justify and excuse his horrible beliefs? Absolutely not. But that is not the point of fanon.

Fanon is seeing a little sliver of chance that someone can be redeemed and exploiting those avenues. It is built of whatifs. It is the 1 million chances and differing circumstances that this 1 character did not recieve.

In canon I will point out that Regulus cared for the one being that was a constant in his life. That was devoted and did not abandon him or abuse him. Because everyone else in his life did. This is why Kreacher is important to him, regardless of the fact that he is a literal slave bound to his family. He showed kindness to Regulus. Something Kreacher was not obbligated to do, seeing as how he cannonically was a little shit towards everyone in Order of the Phoenix.

But whilst he also has been spurres into action by Kreacher, he chose to try and do something about the Horcrux. It's not like he had to. He could have saved his elf, investigated and been like well shucks, I ain't touching that with a 10 foot pole. His reasoning from the letter could be interpreted in a million more ways. And he also chose to poison himself and send his elf away. This all we know from canon.

Of course he had a shrine to purblood surpemacist in his bedroom as well. What did you expect? He was in a cult he entered willingly because he was indoctrinated and conditioned to believe in that.

So, we come back to purpose of fanon. It is to take a FICTIONAL CHARACTER, and mould this character to fit their own morals and beliefs whilst playing around with the few canon bits that are appealing to them.m, whilst absolutely ignoring the bits they hate.

Cannonically, James Potter was a horrible spoilt little shit as far as we can tell from the horrible memory Snape had. Remus and Sirius couldn't even deny it!

Sirius spurred James on! He was just as bad, and he didn't grow out of that schoolyard mentality due to Azkaban.

Remus was a coward and watched. He regrets is but that is what he did.

Peter admired James and Sirius for it.

These might be minor ofense because they were on the right side of history, but they have so much potential to go in the most darkest of directions based on their cannonical description. And some people in fandom do go there.

At the end of the day, if it bother people, they can choose to block the tags from their life. I know it is difficult, but not unachievable.

This rant applies to Severus Snape, and Peter Pettigrew too.

"Villain and Violent, Infant and Innocent" is Regulus Black. He was juat a kid, a very impressionable kid who just wanted his parents to be proud of him, and at the end of the day, that's what we all want right?

[scaramionee]

A long rant about something that's been eating my mind from the inside out so here we go (TW: Might be Controversial)-

Sometimes, I'm just very normal about James Potter and Lily Evans but then I'm not. So growing up, I watched the hp movies first so I never quite had any interest in their relationship, they just seemed like a tragic straight relationship to me so I never bothered with it. But then I read the books and I went immediately like this- "No wonder James Potter worshipped Lily Evans, I would too." Like, this woman is the legit reason why the whole harry potter thing started, and to see the fact that most of the time she's just blatantly ignored or being stripped out of her original identity to be a strong independent lesbian (I don't have any problem with her sexuality, people can imagine her with whomever they like but it kind of ridicules Lily's motherhood in some way) who absolutely either hates James Potter or Insults him for fun just bcz he has a crush on her or being a side chick for James's steamy cheating romance flings hurts me more than I think it should.

I get it, the marauders fandom wholly embraces the fanon so dearly to them like a warm blanket because of many obvious reasons, but sometimes I think we just totally miss the point of this whole franchise. It's obvious that jkr sucks at writing romances which is why most people don't get the spark of canon ships like romione, hinny and remadora but completely missing the point about Lily being a mother figure in Harry's life and as a lover figure in James's life truly pisses me off a lot. Even though everybody is allowed to dislike certain ships because not everybody has the same taste, but I think we miss the fact that Lily was always more than just a mother and a wife in a way that molded her into what she wanted to be.

The reason why I'm completely enamored by Jily is not because it's just a canon ship which literally started Harry Potter, but because the way Lily Evans just had an effect on everyone who crossed their paths with her. Professor Slughorn himself was so besotted with her, Professor Minerva McGonagall teared up at the news of her departing because who wouldn't like her? She's so brave, so full of joy and laughter that she always forgot her own pain in favor of sucking the pain out of another. James was indeed quite taken aback by her beauty and charm, but I'd like to think it developed into something more after seeing the way she treated her close individuals. Lily was the younger sibling, and because she was a witch, she constantly faced harsh behaviors from her elder sister for being a "freak" according to her sister's standards. She may have had an inferiority complex, and she also hanged out a lot with snape, despite facing discriminations in Hogwarts for being friends with a half-blood poor Slytherin. She was willing to change snape, always defending him left and right but it never worked out in the end. Which left her feeling very defeated, she gave up because she felt like she was not worth it, maybe those bullies were right and she really was just a mudblood. And James, developing a crush on her while continuously harassing snape didn't help either. But if we analyze James's character, knowing that he literally took in Sirius just so that he could escape his abusive family, he knew that Lily was downrightly getting used and snape was taking advantage of her kindness and her stubbornness, he knew it because Sirius was in Lily's place once too, always constantly reminded of how they were never enough, so he wanted to save her ( in his own pathetic loser way ofc ) I think there are many hints of Lily noticing James quite a lot because if you really claimed to hate your enemy then why were you so bloody obsessed with the way how their hair looked like after playing quidditch hmmm 🤨🤨

But not just that, let's also talk about how she literally single handedly MADE THE JAMES POTTER, the absolute arrogant toe-rag quit bullying and hexing people for fun, knowing that he's been like this for the most of his life, but he decided to change for her just like a snap of a finger! Not only that, but she also quickly befriended Sirius in a way that he literally turned out to be her future son's Godfather and the secret keeper. The absolute hold she had on the marauders really needs to be studied!

The love James and Lily had for each other was an act of rebellion in it's own way, because back in that time, muggleborns were seen as scums of the earth and inferior to the wizarding society. But James literally went against every single pureblood tradition just to be with someone he loves and believes with his whole heart. That was always the main point. The reason why both of them were so cherished. He literally went up against Voldemort without a wand not just because of his son, but also for Lily, who he absolutely trusts with his whole life, the only person worth loosing the pureblood title for, the only person worth taking the risk of taking the Avada curse to his heart, he just loved her so beautifully, just like the way she always deserved. And Lily, oh lily, always saw the good in everyone, but saw the best in James, decided to sacrifice her life for their one and only son out of pure love and devotion. And the sacrificial love was so strong that the strongest dark wizard of all time succumbed to his own curse and it tore apart a piece of his soul in revenge of separating the two soulmates whom were always destined to find each other and get woven together in every single timeline. It changed the tide of the entire war. She ended it single handedly.

Yes, she was depicted as a girl who was just a close friend of snape, as a sister who's facing discriminations from her own elder sister's profound jealousy, as a lover and wife of James Potter, as a mother of Harry Potter- the boy who lived. But I think there's so much beauty in every single role she was depicted in. It gives us a glimpse of how much impact she had on everybody around her, how much she meant dear to everybody who cared for her, of how much diverse and forgiving person she was, of the way she was always a reassuring shadow around harry even though she was no longer present in the mortal world. No, motherhood doesn't make her one dimensional or boring, it only enhances her ability of loving people the way they deserve. It makes her so complex, but so powerful at the same time. She was a proud mother, and a lover, a friend, and a woman.

Lily Evans, what an absolute Goddess you were. And you'll always be. No other fictional character ever had a hold so strong on me the way she has.

[basil-does-arttt]

uh uh hi signalis fandom??? i bring you... a storch and kolibri pairing...

my sweethearts <3 some infodumping about them below:

they are both stationed in a correctional facility on Rotfront. Maus is the commanding officer of the base (aside from the Falke and Adler units of course) and Rin acts as her right-hand woman pretty much. Maus denies it but Rin definitely gets some special treatment and/or exceptions which does piss off the other Storchs but uh we don't have to worry about that right now :3 as the blurbs next to them state, they each have their own manufacturing issues but one is certainly a lot more severe than the other... ill start with Rin: Her heating system is defective, as in it doesn't work at all. Especially unhelpful considering they're on Rotfront, yknow, the ice moon?? She still manages to keep her productivity at an all-time high though, despite her defect. On more than one occaision, she's gotten a warning from Adler about her water usage, since she takes so many boiling hot showers to warm up... Being a Storch she's unsurprisingly quite short-tempered and has noticable violent tendancies that probably could be better reigned in but Maus is into it so Rin gets a pass to be mean. "Interrogations" with Gestalts involving Rin as the punisher more often than not end in a bloodbath. And Rin snagging a couple of new shiny trinkets to keep for herself or share between her and Rin (maybe the other Protektor units if she's feeling generous.) She tends to get quite protective over Maus, and when the two can find a quiet moment alone together, Rin has a bit of a soft spot for her little rodent <3 now, Maus: Her Bioresenance module is defective, as in Maus can't really "regulate" the intensity of it properly. Its way too strong for any normal Kolibri unit, let alone an entire group of them at once, so Maus has intentionally cut herself off from the hive-mind in an effort to protect her fellow hummingbirds. She still works with them and communicates with them of course, she just refuses to do it through bioresenance. Does this mean more paperwork? Yes... but she thinks the tradeoff is worth it. It does have its downsides though. Without the safety net the hivemind provides to her persona, Maus has already begun to degrade in irreversable ways (no matter how many pots of tea she downs or books she finishes a day) Despite this she remains dedicated and loyal to her work, if not for herself then so she doesn't everyone else around her down. (also, after some vauge threats of decomission from Adler, she's only thrown herself further into her work to try and convince him she doesn't need replacing. Maus isn't scared of many things, but if theres one thing she's terrified of, its death.) She suffers a lot from migranes and nosebleeds a lot as a side effect of her faulty bioresenance module, and has landed herself in the facility's medical ward too many times to count because of it. the Eule nurses have even dedicated an entire room solely to Maus due to how often she's in there for Something, be it a headache, or fainting entirely while on the job. If it weren't for Falke, Adler would have had her decomissioned many cycles ago. Falke however trusts her charm of hummingbirds implicitly and keeps a close eye on Maus especially, making sure she doesn't stray too far off the deep end. Maus also has violent tendancies of her own, and works well with Rin because of it. Rin interrogating Gestalts is bad enough, but Rin AND Maus together? yeah that Gestalt isn't coming out of that room alive. or in one piece for that matter.. Maus and Rin sorta bounce off eachother in ways that i don't think are entirely healthy but hey, they're happy, so who am i to get in the way of two lesbian robot's toxic bloodbath yuri :3

I feel... Weirdly lonely in this fandom.

(I kinda suck at talking and a lot of time I leave comments I kinda get ignored so think I'm doing just about everything wrong).

I get I'm not part of the clique or whatever, but I want to try and at least talk about fun things.

I want to reblog and follow more people but feel like I've gotten this reputation on the "bad" side of the fandom for my art (for doing things popular artists do anyway and are celebrated) so I'm literally scared to interact with people in case I piss more people off.

If my art was better I'd probably be acknowledged and accepted but that's not gonna happen.

Idk Just rambling. Woke up miserable.

[tragedy-of-commons]

an apology for the last one. and also one from the correct fandom this time: robin + PURPLE LILAC + catharsis + redamancy, please? thank you :D

PURPLE LILAC:  they’re falling first, and falling hard.

catharsis  —  emotional release.

redamancy  —  the act of loving in return.

childhood friends, pre-canon (both reader and robin are kids here), fluff and pining, mentioned sunday ^^

“Miss Robin, I just wish I had your hair!”

Your gushing is accompanied by skillful, dexterous movements of your fingers. The gentle appendages glide through her tresses, looping and arranging each strand to your liking. It’s a familiar scene, the one she shares with you now; baubles lined against the vanity’s edge, a collection of perfume bottles, barrettes, and other wondrous beauty paraphernalia present. 

You go about weaving a crown plait, the very same hairstyle you’d pointed out earlier in Penacony’s Lovely Lady magazine with a stubby finger, proclaiming that she simply must allow you to style hers in the same manner. Robin had immediately agreed, trying in vain to shield the flush of her cheeks with her headwings.

For the little time you’ve known one another, you sure do know how to endear yourself - with excited smiles and promises of boundless friendship.

“It’s not that special,” she dismisses easily, staring at her reflection. The lightbulbs affixed to the frame of the mirror really make her feel like the rising star she dreams of becoming, even if she’s just in her bedroom with you. “And you don’t have to call me ‘Miss Robin’ if you don’t want to. There’s no need for formalities, promise.”

You sigh, shrugging. “Oops, sorry. I guess I’m just not used to being so informal. I think my mom would kill me if she heard that I didn’t address you properly! The Oak Family was kind enough to give her a job, so it just feels like the right thing to call you.”

Robin wishes that you didn’t feel like that - like there’s a whole world separating you from her. She’s never known a bond this close save for her brother, whom she is grateful for, by the way - but the dynamic she has with you is different. The Halovian siblings have always been sheltered and warned of external influences, but the day you bounded in by your mother’s side, introduced as part of the staff, you were (hesitantly) deemed fit for Robin to associate with.

The signature mellow jukebox churning out a tune brings her back to the conversation at hand. “I understand, but I hope you know you’re not obligated—”

“There you go again, talking like a grown-up,” you laugh.

“Sorry! I don’t mean to.” 

“No, no. I like the way you talk; it’s pretty like the rest of you! And besides, you’re gonna need to sound all mature when you give interviews all over the cosmos.”

It’s pretty like the rest of her. 

Robin focuses on you, now. You’re still hard at work, making sure her hair is evenly distributed to make the perfect wreath. It accentuates her halo which floats inches above her head, making your aesthetic choice all the more thoughtful. Your eyes, slightly narrowed in concentration, don’t notice the unadulterated look of admiration she’s sending you. 

“Interviews…” she swallows. “You really think I’ll get that far? I haven’t even sung in front of anyone besides you and Sunday.” 

Taking a moment to close her eyes, images of you and her brother pop up in her mind; the pair of you sitting cross-legged on the floor while she tremulously stutters along to handwritten lyrics. Sunday shooting to his feet first after she’d hummed the final note, you following suit to join him in a standing ovation. 

Robin likes to think she’s improved a little bit since then, and she knows that even with the Harmony’s blessing, her voice wasn’t exactly… proficient, all those months back. But she felt on top of the world, like the luckiest girl in the universe - because you were there. 

Her brother may fight you for the position of her #1 fan, but you, the one who’d gone out of their way to befriend her despite the obstacles? 

Yeah, she’ll always see you as the cool one.

“Of course you will!” you scoff, like her potential success is some undisputed fact of nature. “And if you ever get nervous, talking to reporters or paparazzi or whoever,” The updo seems to be to your satisfaction, so you grin and reach for a bottle of hairspray, “I’ll be there to help! I can be your cheerleader.”

Her heart lurches. Sure, she’s imagined you in her daydreams. Sometimes you’re a backup singer, sometimes you’re on the keys, and other times, you’re in the first row of the audience, with that same lovely smile on your face. To hear that you want the same thing, even in jest, is enough to hammer hope into the future beyond - the one she’s previously sidelined for Family obligations.

Robin’s eyes fly back open, startled out of her stupor as you assault the finished crown plait with the setting agent. She coughs in surprise after inhaling the cloying smell, causing you to laugh. 

“What, don’t want me there?” you tease, meeting her gaze in the mirror. “I get it—”

She interrupts, determined and teary-eyed, “No! I’d love that. You… that’d be really cool. We’d travel together and lift people’s spirits, bringing so much joy to those that need it.”

You want to be there, in this hypothetical future. With her.

“Okay. Let’s call it a promise,” you recover from your chuckling and then gesture to her hair with a gentle flourish. “Whaddya think? You look amazing!”

A promise she’ll do anything to keep, she decides.

You hold up a gilded hand mirror so she can get a good look at the back, but she’s still entirely focused on the miracle that is you. The Halovian tilts her head this way and that way to cover this up, but it’s fruitless. She cannot help but be taken with her best friend and the inspiration of her latest piece (work in progress). 

“I love it. Truly.”

All of the above and more. And yet again, Color's choices on how to act with Killer despite how he may feel is very different in comparison to how Dream and Swap have approached Killer in the past.

Color took the time to get to know Killer away from the battlefield. That is one of the most important factors that went into their bond, because Color was invested in Killer as a person, not because he was a threat. This interest was the first thing Color did right to put himself in Killer's good graces, something Dream and Swap didn't do, because... really... how and where the fuck do you think they were going to start? What biases and ideas do you think they'd have about Killer when the only impressions they've gotten from this guy is that he's trying to merk them off the census every time he shows up? There is only so much one can do with that, and it's not like Killer had every intention to clear the air for them, so to speak.

Now here's the thing. I'm not specifying any of this to throw Dream and Swap under the bus for their efforts, because for some reason I'm seeing people mention Dream would have sucked in approaching Killer because he didn't see him as a person when that part was never fucking true. Dream has to balance a lot in the multiverse. He has so many problems weighing him down that only he can solve, and the idea that he wouldn't try, or that Killer is dehumanized in his mind, or that he'd have ulterior motives for trying is bastardization of his character.

Hell, do you not remember the comic Rahafwabas made of Dream finding Killer in a blank space with his cats and being afraid of him when he approached, thinking he was going to shank him or something? Dream has been threatened, harmed, and mauled by Killer more than enough times to fear more for his own safety in this moment than anything else, even though he did want to reach out regardless of that.

Dream wouldn't succeed in pacifying Killer. I agree with you there. But the reasons why that is are so much more complicated and need more context from both Dream and Killer's sides to decide if Dream is fucking useless in every regard for his case or not. Dream could help Killer to some degree, I believe, but in no means is he stable enough to be a consistently reliant source of security and support like Color is.

Dream, in isolation, is a character that is constantly moving and because of his aura and the life he leads because of Corrupted!Nightmare, he can barely have friends in general. He can't trust anyone, and he can't stay anywhere for too long. Looking to Dream to help Killer would be negligent of the influences Killer himself is going to need in order to recover in the best way possible.

I'm pissed at this fandom in general for jumping on every petty reason to be a cunt about anything at all, especially for cases like Dream. So let me get it out of my system before you decide to take this personally.

Now with Swap, the problem with him is Rahafwabas's version of him had a very Steven Universe-ish understanding of kindness and forgiveness and redemption. It's very basic, it lacks nuance, and most of all, his efforts in not only not listening to Killer and forcing him to "feel things again" were all works out of pure fucking child-like ignorance. It doesn't help that this version of Swap was indeed drawn as and written with childish behavior in mind. He resembled Blueberry more than he did Swap in general.

On top of that, given how dismissive early fandom was about any version of Swap!Sans and their intelligence, Rahafwabas's version was quite...

Well, there's no nice way to say this. He's fucking stupid. He actively goes out of his way to interact with characters who have hurt him in the past over and over and over again, characters like Killer and Error who could have fucking killed him and Swap was just lucky that he survived each encounter. No matter what happens to this guy, he doesn't seem to fucking learn his recklessness won't get him as far as he wants.

His idea of kindness is not universal. His ideas of redemption, forgiveness, and recovery, are not universal. Swap did Killer a cruelty by not considering that, because even though he was annoyingly insistent in helping Killer however he could and his intentions were in the right place, his impulsive and forceful actions were not.

Perhaps with a different version of Swap, one that was allowed to grow up and actually think with the best interests of others in mind, we would have been shown a different outcome. Perhaps he would have been shown as a partially helpful influence in Killer's recovery.

But this is what we got instead.

Another reason why Color is able to tolerate and resist the threats and attempts of harm Killer could use against him is the fact he's just stronger than Killer in general. This dude absorbed six human souls and can only die if he were to overexert his magic use to the point it breaks his fucking body. This doesn't mean he's invincible, but he can certainly compete with Killer's efforts until Killer decides his goal is not worth the struggle.

Dream is not powerful enough to do this. Neither is Rahafwabas's Swap.

Color might be powerful, but he's also strong enough to be gentle and kind. In fact that's his fucking default. He is the Optimus Prime of the Undertale Multiverse in that sense. He could fuck up Killer's shit if he really wanted to, but that wouldn't fix anything and he knows this.

Dream and Swap don't fail at helping not just because they lack the exact resources, abilities, opportunities, and outlook Color has, but because they can only survive so much, and it's obvious Killer has fucked them both up beyond an extent where they can just look away from it no problem.

-- Sarco

I’d imagine that color’s probably the first time killer has had the experience of caring if someone stays or not. And not just that, the very first time he’s wanted someone to stay (with him), and be around him—the first time another’s presence around him hasn’t felt intruding and invasive.

[pandorasopenedbox3]

I’ve been in this fandom for a while and ig I’ve been on the right side of things bc I’ve never rlly run into someone severely hating on fanon/popular head-canons and ships and stuff, like I’ve heard about it and seen people say like a sentence or two and in comments or tags and such but nothing in depth. However I just found this blog that went so in depth with everything wrong with fanon or comparing it with canon (a lot felt targeted at the queer head-canons), anyway I felt so gross after reading it and idk how anyone could actually type something like that just hating people for playing pretend with their favorite characters and then post it without needing to take like 10 showers after. How do u feel clean? I felt dirty just reading that. I still feel dirty and it upsets me even though I rlly don’t want it to bc I usually just say ok u do u girl but those posts just felt so almost humiliating to me. Idk. I already blocked them so it doesn’t matter and I’ll probably block anyone else with that stuff, there’s really no point in interacting with anything that dirty anyway, I’ll just feel gross. I already feel gross tho. Idk just some food for thought.

I have been DYING for some fluff of making Pete flustered until he short circuits, like red in the face and hiding under his hat flustered

Thank you for feeding an entire fandom, you are greatly appreciated!!!

synopsis. you discover a weak point in your boyfriend when you have to switch away from the lipstick you usually wear.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ contents. established relationship. pure fluff.

a/n: this is SO cute i love it, thank you, anon!

The television plays in the corner of your bedroom as you sit on the carpet with the full-length mirror in front of you and your makeup strewn about. Looking into your reflection, your warmly lit room smells faintly of the new vanilla candle your mother bought you and of Pete’s cheap body spray. You’re practically suffocating on it, your boyfriend never really knowing what personal space means. Especially while you do your makeup and he continues to fuck around with everything he’s already fucked around with enough times while watching you put your makeup on. When he suddenly grabs an expensive blush, you suck your teeth and snatch it from him. “Pete!”

He frowns, looking at you with a shake of his head. “The fuck d’you do that for?”,he asks, his dark unibrow furrowing while you glare at him and set the blush down on the other side of you. “What? I can’t touch anything now while you spend five hours on your face?”

Rolling your eyes, you lean closer to the mirror with the lip pencil. “First of all it’s been an hour, calm down.”,you say, then you start to speak while lining your lips,”Second of all, you always manage to break the more expensive stuff of my makeup when you touch it. So fuck off from it.” Pete snorts but you can see his little smile from the corner of your eyes while you finish lining your lips. Every time he picks up a new product, you glance at him before you reassure yourself it isn’t something expensive. He’s silent again, like a child playing with toys.

Until you pluck up your lipstick and begin to sweep the product on your lips. “What happened to that?”,he asks. You lower the lipstick, rubbing your lips together while furrowing your brows in confusion at him. “The lipstick crap – that’s not the one you wear when we go out.” A bit surprised he noticed something like this, you smile before you shut the lipstick and look at your reflection with a little bit of warmth tingling at your chest.

“I lost my usual one – it’s what I was crying about last Saturday. They don’t sell it anymore so I got the closest thing.”,you explain, then laugh, turning and looking at him,”Maybe it isn’t close considering you noticed it was different.”

Pete grins at you, he shakes his head and fixes his cap on his dark head of hair. “No, it’s just the outside that looks different s’all, babe.”,he rolls his eyes as if you just threw a fit. Then he leans in closer to your face and waggles his dark unibrow. “Looks good on you.” You laugh and turn away, shooing him away while shaking your head.

“Stop. I’m not fucking you before our date. That’s after if you’re not a jackass.”,you say, smiling at him pointedly when he frowns at you with a slight furrow in his unibrow. Then you decide he may deserve a little treat for being so patient while you get ready, his bitching a minimum. Gently reaching out, you cup his acne-scarred cheek and plant a kiss against the opposite one. Immediately feeling the heat beneath your hand and lips, you feel him smile before you pull back. “There. No m–oh.” Your eyes widen and you immediately snicker a bit at the kiss mark on his cheek.

“What? What is it?”

Leaning forward to look into the mirror while you grab your makeup wipes, you shake your head with an endeared smile. “I guess this lipstick isn’t smudge-proof like my other lipstick. Hold on.” When you turn with a wipe in hand, your eyebrows furrow at the sight of Pete. Confusion muddles your brain for a moment while you watch him.

He’s leaning over and looking at his reflection, his fingers pressing into the skin beneath the kiss mark you left at the perfect center of his acne-scarred cheek. For a few moments he just stares with his chapped lips parted and his eyes wide. You realize what he’s doing just as he catches you staring and a big smile spreads on your lips. Your entire heart feels warm and you grin big at him. Of course, he flushes a deep red beneath tanned skin and he blinks hard. “What? The fuck are you–”

“You like the mark.”,you sing, setting aside the wipe. Pete’s eyes widen and his unibrow sews upwards as he looks away from you. “You’re so red, you haven’t been this red since the first time we kiss–” A loud laugh leaves your lips when he shoves your shoulder hard, you quickly recover and feel a bit happy that he learned his lesson the last time he shoved you by your face.

“Shut th-the hell up, alright? I ain’t–” He gasps when you suddenly tackle him to the ground, some of your makeup clatters and his laughter melds with yours as you grab the sides of his head. That baseball cap falls off to reveal his dark, flattened curls beneath. “H-Hey what’re you doin’?” And Pete starts to laugh, his face scrunching up and as crimson as your apple alarm clock in the corner as you plant hard kisses all over his face. His forehead, mouth, chin, cheeks, and even down his neck as his hands grip your hips, your body on top of his.

When you finish kissing off your lipstick, you sit up with soft breaths and fluttery laughs as Pete lays on his back with the dopiest smile on his face. Hearts practically floating above his head as he grabs his hat and covers his face while muttering about you being a "fuck'n idiot". Tilting your head and scrunching your nose at him, you nod. “Hm...I think I like this lipstick actua–woah!” You laugh loudly again, your entire body full of warmth and tingles when he suddenly turns over and you’re beneath him. His hat hits the carpet beside your head. Your entire face flushing when his arms wrap around your waist and he kisses you like you’re his source of oxygen. His entire face covered in kiss marks.

“Yeah I like it a fuck’n lot too.”,he laughs against your lips, you’re unable to care about him ruining your makeup as you smile into the kiss with your arms wrapping around his neck and legs around his waist.

[shiny-kaibernyte]

May I request something from Sonic Fandom? I would love to see romantic hcs for Surge the Tenrec and Kitsunami the Fennec.

I will absolutely do this for you! I actually had to refresh my Sonic knowledge for this request. I have discovered my new found love for the Imposter syndrome mini series thanks to you so, hopefully it is up to your standards, feel free to throw a Robotnik roast at me if it's not.

Warnings: Spoilers for the Imposter Syndrome Sonic Mini Series

Surge has major trust issues. I'm just gonna put that out there right away. Ever since what happened with Doctor Starline, the battle against Doctor Robotnik’s minions and then her defeat against Sonic. Trust is almost a foreign word to her. Only Kit holds any form of trust in her books but even then. The line is as thin as paper. 

This is definitely a difficult road to cross in the beginning of a relationship with her, friendly and romantic. Surge will question every choice, every thought, every look. Nothing will go unnoticed by her. However, she is open to talking, something she does a lot. She trusts someone more if they let her get everything out of her system. Rant, yell, scream, throw things. Granted she will not do those things to you. Slowly her walls will come down and when they do. She is the best person/animal-hybrid/creature eh you get the point.

She is not a touchy person. PDA is almost Alien outside of privacy. This is however a one-sided coin. She will not touch you outside of a private space. No engaging on her end. If you initiated it however, Surge will respond in kind as she does value your happiness, so touch her whenever you need to. Hand holding, hug, arm in arm. Go for it, just don’t expect her to do it first.

Private however? Total 180, her confidence and attitude completely changes and she just becomes putty in your hands. You are her home, her comfort, her life. To Surge this is the one time in her life she can be at peace. Just the two of you together, watching a movie, talking about goals, her hatred for the blue hedgehog, everything and anything. Laying in each others arms is one of her favourite past times, often with a movie on in the background. Surge is partial to marvel.

Thor is her favourite. It's definitely not the Lightning thing (it's the lightning thing)

Surge can cook surprisingly well, granted she’s banned from using the stove after she blew it up last time. The eggs and her had a… disagreement.

She is an overly cocky person. When it comes to ego, she puts Sonic to shame. More often than not, her ego has resulted in a fight or two, almost all of them were started by her. Whether she was the one to finish them is still on the table. This has caused a couple arguments between the two of you, but her temper will not remain for long. Give her an hour or so to calm down. Surge might be hot headed and ego driven, but she will listen to you. She always listens to you.

Although her hatred for Sonic runs deep, she has no ill will towards his friends. In fact she and Knuckles get along quite well, the pair have spared together on multiple occasions. Something you are often invited to watch. Tails is a different story. Surge does not trust him after his fight with Kit, after all Kit is the closest thing she has to a friend minus you. So if you happen to get along with the twin tailed fox, don’t expect her to join your activities.

Surge will never say the words “I’m sorry” to you. It is not because she believes she does no wrong, it is more of a personal thing, believing the words to be a waste of time. Actions speak louder than words in her mind. So she will often use her actions to apologise if she ever upset you or went too far during an argument. Gifts, food, service, whatever will make you forgive her.

That being said, her love language is Acts of service and quality time. More specifically guard dog kind of service. She is your sword and shield as you are her life line. Without you Surge views herself as nothing. Unable to remember anything from before Doctor Starline's hypnosis and only ever knowing hatred. With you, she views herself as everything. 

Whilst she views Actions more highly than words, Surge talks, and she talks a lot. If she gets riled up, good reason or bad, prepare for a monologue. It's honestly adorable when she starts talking about a passion of hers.

Hand talker. She emotes with her hands. She has zapped you a few times before, never hurtful more a static shock, like when you touch a cat and you get that tiny zap. 

One time, Surge took you out in a thunderstorm as an experiment. She wanted to know what would happen if she tried to zap lightning. Let's just say Kit now has a permanent photo to use on the birthday card every year.

Surge will defend you every and any chance she gets. Like I said, guard dog. Someone tries to hurt you, they're on the ground. Insult you, oh look is that Surge’s fist? Unwanted comments or touches, you get a personal lightning show!

She has a sweet tooth and I mean a sweet tooth. Donuts are her weakness, especially those dark chocolate ring donuts with the little white sprinkles. Give her a box of those and her life is yours. Kit also has a box on standby which he named “the just incase box” 

Can be over protective, and very jealous. Not the, you can’t see any of your friends type of jealous. More the, I don't trust them. Are you sure about them kind of jealous. Her scepticism is to everyone, not just your friends or family so she will often step in front of you during conversations with strangers. She will move out the way if you ask her to, but the stare off between her and whoever you are talking to could go down in history with how intense it would feel.

As for her protective nature, she would be ready to take a bullet for you. Often putting your safety first and never even questioning her own. The amount of times she has jumped head first into an army of Robotnik’s drones is uncountable. Always make sure to carry a first aid kit on you when out on missions with her. Or five.

Little bonus thought. Surge has a collection of batteries. What are they from? Why does she have them? You will never know. You did walk in on her trying to eat a battery once so theory build away on that one.

Kit is the total opposite of Surge when it comes to trust, in you at least. He has put his life in your hands and trusts you full heartedly with it. Others however he's on Surge’s level of distrust. Using caution and smarts instead of actions and fists.

Thanks to his side of the hypnosis, his loyalty to Surge transferred onto you after she left him on the battlefield. His loyalty to you is unmatched, he will follow you to the depth of hell and back if that's what you asked of him. In short, your wish is my command kind of fox.

He adores holding your hand, walking, sitting, standing you name it his hand is intertwined with yours.

You make him feel safe, so he often lets his guard down with you, his ears perking up whenever you talk to him, sometimes you swear you can see his tail wagging. And he isn’t even a dog.

If Surge is a Yapper, he is the listener and he will remember everything you’ve ever said to him. Photographic memory level. Listening to you is one of his favourite parts of the day. Please ramble to him, you will make his day.

He is an introvert through and through, after what happened to him, going outside isn’t exactly something he looks forward to, he is much more fond of spending time inside or working on his garden. Thanks to his water manipulation, he made himself a little garden to occupy himself. Kit lets you name all the plants he gets.

Doing domestic tasks with you is something he really enjoys, doesn’t matter what they are, he is just happy to be doing something with you and feeling important.

Kit is naturally a very quiet and reserved person, using brains over brawn. But don’t get me wrong ,if you are in danger, he will go above and beyond to protect you, often out doing Surge in aggression when he's angry. An extreme rarity he despises showing to you. 

That being said, arguments are few and far between for the two of you. He can’t get mad at you and he will berate himself if he ever raises his voice at you for any reason. The communication between you both is enviable, as you are both able to talk through any situation.

He apologies first and instantly. No questions asked even if he’s right. Kit will apologise for being right.

Dude is a walking dictionary, Kit knows the meaning of almost every word off the top of his head, he can even tell you different meanings to the same word, asking him to do maths would make your head spin with how fast he would complete any equation. 

That being said, he cannot spell, he can write, and write well. Kit has a fantasy story he started writing to occupy his mind after Starline, however his spelling is horrific, either he will ask you to proof read it if you are a good speller or will have his phone next to him with a spell checker ready.

He loves fantasy films, The lord of the rings is on repeat a lot in this household. Never watch horror with him however, he may actually cry. Surge once showed him John Carpenter's The Thing, he got so scared that he doused the TV in water by accident. He wasn’t even wearing his equipment! Gave Surge quite the shock.

Speaking of Surge, he does not trust her around you. After everything that happened, her leaving him, them reuniting, her enraged feelings towards Sonic. Kit is extremely cautious of her but he does want her around. Just like Surge, she's his only friend next to you and his hypnosis still lingers in the back of his mind.

He holds no ill will to Sonic, as Kit could see the reason behind the events leading to their downfall. Knuckles he never met, though he knows of the Echidna. Tails and Kit get along surprisingly well all things considered. For a while they did a Mechanism Monday where they would both hold a competition to see who could complete a mechanical task first. You would always Ref these competitions.

They stopped the race part after they set Surges tail on fire, granted she shouldn’t have stood so close to a burner. Not the fox’s fault.

Little bonus thought, Kit collects rocks. And no i don't mean crystals. I mean rock rocks. You have seen him on his hands and knees sifting through rocks to find the perfect one for his collection.

[thatoneyappinggirl]

i’m tired of all these incredibly heated top/bottom arguments for satosugu. to me, it’s very clear they do both because they’re curious about what both sides are like 🤷‍♀️

to me their dynamic seems to be more lead & follow than dom & sub, they’re just exploring and having fun!! it’s not about who’s taking and who’s giving, but moreso who’s taking the first steps vs who’s holding his hand for it (personally, i find their relationship to be more intimate than a lot of people make it out to be, where one of them is incredibly rough and aggressive and the other will just stay down and take it)

only putting this out because there’s so much discourse about it?? youre telling me we don’t have better things to argue about as a fandom? 😭
