What if Blue Lock dad's parents were visiting to see their grandchild? (Though with an exception of Michael, for an... Obvious reasons, so, how about with Michael instead some comfort stuff with him having some memories of his parents after seeing his mother on TV, then coming back to reality with a family he actually has now?)
a/n: hey lovely, i excluded kaiser here for obvious reasons :(

itoshi sae
"tadaima," sae says nonchalantly as he steps in, his parents following behind.
the moment they enter, natsuki—who had been playing with barbie dolls—gets up and rushes toward them.
"ojiichan!" she calls, sprinting straight into her grandfather’s arms.
sae’s father laughs heartily, kneeling down just in time to catch his granddaughter, "ah, my little natsuki! did you miss me?"
"mhm! so much!" she says, nuzzling into his shoulder.
sae’s mother, standing beside him, crosses her arms, "no hugs for me?"
natsuki giggles and wiggles free, rushing toward her.
"obaachan~!" she sings, wrapping her tiny arms around her grandmother’s waist.
sae clicks his tongue, "natsuki," he calls softly but firmly.
natsuki looks up from the hug. "yes, papa?"
sae stares at her for a second before sighing and turning away. "nothing. forget it."
natsuki blinks then realizes, "oh papa! hug for papa!" she says as sae picks natsuki in her arms.
you chuckle, stepping forward to help with the bags. "guess you were feeling left out, no?"
"shut up," he mutters.
his mother smirks. "he was always like this when rin got more attention as a baby too."
"mom—" sae glares at her.
his father chuckles, placing a hand on sae’s shoulder.
"some things never change."
itoshi rin
"—and don’t forget how you used to follow sae around everywhere."
"mom, enough," rin says, angrily stabbing his food with the fork. but trying his best to be gentle for his daughter.
sakura gasps, "papa, were you a little shadow?"
"absolutely not," says rin.
"yes," his mother corrects.
you couldn't help but look away, your hand covering your mouth as you laugh.
rin groans, rubbing his temples. "can we just eat?"
but sakura isn't done and starts mimicking his every movement. If he reaches for his glass, she does too. If he leans forward, so does she. "look, ma, obaachan! ojiichan! i'm a little shadow just like papa!" she giggles.
you hold back another laugh while rin sighs, giving his daughter a stern look, "sakura. sit properly."
"but papa—"
"sakura," he warns.
his mother laughs, "she really takes after you, rin."
isagi yoichi
"yuki-chan!" yoichi's mother exclaims, taking yuki in her arms and showering her face with so many kissys.
"obaachan!" yuki giggles.
after setting yuki down, yoichi’s mom turns to you, "y/n-chan!" she says, pulling you into a hug, "it’s been too long. have you been taking care of yourself?"
you nod, hugging her back, "of course, mom."
yoichi steps forward, expecting a greeting, only to get a quick pat on the head. "ah, and there's yo-chan."
"mom!" he groans.
his father chuckles, lifting little yuki, "my little yuki-chan has gotten so big! look at you!" then, turning to you, "yoichi isn’t giving you trouble, is he?"
"oi! why does everyone assume that?!" yoichi asks.
his mom smirks, "because yoichi was such a weak little thing growing up. always so soft-hearted, getting teary-eyed over the smallest things."
"mom—!"
"oh, like that time he lost a game and clung to me the whole day, pouting?" his dad adds with a laugh.
"mom! dad! enough!"
yuki gasps dramatically. "papa, you used to pout?"
you let out a chuckle while yoichi buries his face in his hands. his mother simply pats his back. "don’t worry, yo-chan. you turned out fine."
"barely," his dad jokes.

a/n: wally clark has invaded my brain space and i cannot seem to rid him from my mind his himbo charms have seduced me. just in my mind this is set in the late '90s, but mr. martin isn't evil. none of the other kids are really mentioned by name, but this would be a few years after charley's death. as always i'm writing with a plus sized!reader in mind but anyone can read it.
summary: struggling with becoming comfortable in death, wally has made himself your new buddy.
cw: general angst and sadness over being dead, wally is a sweetheart who just wants to help. hurt/comfort with a sweet ending and a little bit of kissing. gn!reader, theatre kid x jock
wc: 2.1k
You think you’ve been dead for a little over a week. It’s hard to tell - time moves so differently here. It feels like static on the skin, the way the TV screen feels fuzzy when you touch it after it's been turned off. You haven’t spoken much, and the other dead kids don’t expect you to for a while. They’ve all told you that everyone reacts differently to their death, that there’s no right or wrong way to cope.
You’re worried that if you open your mouth, it’ll be difficult to stop crying. Or screaming, or both. So you sit quietly in the circle in the gymnasium, listening as Mr. Martin leads the support group meeting. You’re appreciative of his trying to get you to open up, but you’re only capable of responding in nods and shrugs. When it’s over, you go to make your way back to the auditorium. It might be weird to some, considering you died there, but it’s still the place you feel the safest.
A few steps out of the gym, you hear pounding footsteps coming up next to you. It’s Wally, because of course it is. He’s dubbed himself your ‘Unofficial death guide.’ He’s the sweetest, and you wish you could actively participate in conversation with him.
“You goin’ back to the auditorium?” When he talks, you have to crane your head to the right and all the way up because he’s so fucking tall. You nod, and he parrots it.
“I don’t know how you can go back to that place. I couldn’t even look at the football field for like a week after I died.” Even when you don’t respond, Wally keeps going. “I also don’t know how you stand sharing a space with Mina. She's, like, totally scary.” He makes a face then, pinched up, like he’s imagining being trapped in a room with the other, objectively more aggressive theatre ghost.
It makes you giggle. Like, audibly giggle. Wally’s eyes widen, surprised that he was able to get a noise out of you. He laughs in return, a breathless exhale. He’s clearly proud of himself.
“I have got to get you to do that again.” You shake your head no, even though the smile hasn’t left your face. “I’m serious, I have got to hear that laugh again!”
When you round the corner near the front office, you stop in your tracks, the smile on your face quickly fading. Your mom and dad are there, holding a box with everything that was in your locker. It’s a weird feeling. You hadn’t forgotten you were dead, obviously, but everything had felt very up in the air.
Like the moment before a show starts - everyone sitting in the audience, the curtain still down to block the view of actors taking their places. Like limbo. Seeing your parents, their tear stricken faces, that makes it feel real. Too real. The sharp breath you take in alerts Wally to the fact that something is wrong, and he follows your gaze to the two adults standing at the front desk.
“Oh shit, are those your parents?” Wally asks, his voice taking a softer tone. He has a volume control problem, everyone knows it, and you’re appreciative that he’s quieted down for this.
You nod, a small jerk of your head. He brings a tentative hand up to your shoulder, and when you don’t move away, he places it more firmly. “I’m so sorry, y/n. I really am. Do you wanna go up and see them?”
You don’t answer, you just walk away. Wally calls after you, but doesn’t follow.
The auditorium truly is your safe space. You were never brave enough to actually perform anything, though your teacher had begged you to. She’d heard you singing to yourself one day, and asked why you’d never auditioned for anything. You’d just deflected and said the stage fright would make you freeze. She’d been understanding, but encouraged you to think about auditioning for the show this year.
You were a senior, it’d been your last opportunity to be in the spotlight, but by the time auditions came around you’d chickened out. The hidden disappointment on your teacher’s face wasn’t so hidden, but she made sure you had your usual spot on the tech and run crew portion of the show.
You died a few weeks later, tripping off of the stage while setting up a set piece and breaking your neck falling into the orchestra pit. Like a sick fucking joke.
Now, you sit in the audience, gazing at the stage. It’s still blocked off by crime tape. The show for the end of the year has been effectively cancelled on account of your dying. ‘Postponed indefinitely’ is the term the overhead announcements had used, but you all knew what that actually meant. It just wasn’t gonna happen.
You mostly just feel numb. Obviously your death isn’t something you could ever prepare for, and just like every other ghost in the building, your life had been unfairly cut short. Just like everyone else, you’d had plans for the rest of your life. None of them solid or reliable, but you’d had some idea of what you wanted your life to look like. A well paying job that you genuinely enjoyed, maybe a husband or wife and a few kids. All of that is gone now.
Your parents in the front office felt like a kick to the gut, salt in the wound. The look on your mom’s face, the way your dad was cradling the box of your things like if he held tight to it enough it would bring you back.. it was too much to bear.
And Wally, sweet, kind, Wally. He’s been trying really hard with you, and you can’t even work up the nerve to say something to him. To thank him for being there for you, or answer any of the many questions or jokes he throws your way.
You don’t even realize the tears are streaming down your face until they drip onto your hands in your lap. Once you feel the first one, the rest fall in quick succession and before you know it, you’re audibly sobbing in the empty theatre. It’s almost embarrassing, the way your cries echo because of the acoustics.
Wally comes in quietly, and sits down next to you. You’ve been too preoccupied to notice anything other than your tears, heavy and streaking down your cheeks. He doesn’t say anything, just wraps his arms around you and pulls you into his chest. He’s warm, and when you grab the front of his sweatshirt, he holds you tighter.
It takes a while for you to calm down - you’d been holding everything in for too long - you were bound to bubble over and explode at some point. When you feel yourself come back to your body, Wally is still holding you. He’s stroking your head and whispering comforts to you. You don’t deserve him, you think.
He’s still rubbing your back when you pull away to look at him, but you’re distracted by the wet spot on his sweatshirt - the light grey darkened by your tears.
“Oh,” you whisper, your voice cracking from how long it’s been since you’ve spoken, “I’m sorry.”
Wally’s eyes widen, not prepared for you to start talking, and he jumps to console you. “Woah, hey, don’t even worry about it. This ratty old thing? I’ve been wearing it for like, almost twenty years.” He giggles a bit, continuing, “I honestly think this is the closest this thing has been to a washing machine even longer than that, so. No sweat, promise.”
You nod, thanking him.
“Are you, like…” he trails off, not sure how to ask you if you’re okay. It’s a silly question, he knows that. “I remember the first time I saw my parents after I died. There was a vigil on the football field like a week after it happened. Everyone was there, and they were all crying and it was so weird. I didn’t feel dead yet, like I hadn’t accepted that it really happened.”
“That must’ve been really hard for you, Wally. I’m really sorry.” Your eyes meet, and he shrugs.
He smiles, a sad, nostalgic thing. He can’t tell you it’s okay, because it’s not. Instead, he goes to hold your hand. “I promise it will get better. It just takes some time. It’s gonna suck for a while, but we’re all here for you. I’m here for you.” His thumb rubs circles on the top or your hand, and you smile up at him.
“Thanks, Wally. I really appreciate it.” Your interconnected hands are grounding you. It’s the first time you’ve felt a semblance of peace since you died. “Do you mind if we sit here for a little bit? It’s quiet, I don’t want to leave yet.” He nods, and the two of you just sit there.
Just like Wally said it would, it gets easier.
You start going to more of the meetings with Mr. Martin, and you actually start participating. It was weird at first - you thought people would make a big deal out of your finding your voice again, but they just smiled, proud of your growth. Wally has been your biggest cheerleader, but they’re all really supportive. Even Rhonda, though she still sports her gloomy demeanor.
When they fix up the stage and clear the crime scene tape, the school holds your vigil there. Wally is right there with you in the audience, holding your hand while your parents speak. Your theatre teacher speaks too, and talks highly of you. Your brightness, the passion you had for theatre. When she says you had a beautiful voice, that you could’ve been somebody, she directs it at your parents. They agree, it seems.
There are still days where it's really hard. You retreat back into your shell, refusing to leave the auditorium or speak to anyone. Wally's patience with you is endless, and when you allow him to stay with you, he spends all day cracking jokes to help you feel better.
One day, instead of letting you isolate yourself, he drags you out onto the football field to get some sun. "We don't really need vitamin D anymore, but I really think it'll help. C'mon, the sun on your skin? Wind in your hair? Can't beat that, babe." He leads you out onto the field - one hand clasped in yours and the other holding a backpack.
The pet names are a new thing, but you don't mind it. He'd slipped one day, called you sweetheart, and immediately backtracked and apologized profusely. All you could do was laugh and call him cute.
"Where did you even get that?" you giggle, following him to a spot under a tree near the edge of the field. "Did you steal that from someone?"
He drops your hand to bring it to his own chest, offended at your assumption. "Me? Steal? I can't believe you'd think so lowly of me," he plops onto the grass, patting the spot next to him, "Yeah I totally stole it, emptied it out, and then filled it with a shit ton of snacks and drinks so we could have a picnic out here." He unzips the bag, pulling out at least ten different bags of chips and candy bars.
"This is really sweet, Wally," you can feel your face heat up, though hopefully it'll just look like it's because of the heat. "It's like a date, almost." His head shoots up to look at you, pink dusting his cheeks and ears.
"Y-yeah, if you want it to be. If you think you're ready for that kind of thing." He stutters, a nervous boyish thing. He's the sweetest person ever.
“I am, I think,” you nod while you’re talking, like you’ve made up your mind, “You’re the sweetest person I’ve ever met.” Wally ducks his head down, chin meeting his chest. He’s fully blushing now - it’s the cutest thing you’ve seen in a long time.
“C’mere,” he whispers, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and maneuvering your body so your back is pressed up against his chest, head resting in the space between his head and shoulder, “is this okay?”
You turn your head to try and look at him, and he angles his towards you. His face is inches from yours, and if you had a heartbeat, it’d be beating wildly right now. You can almost feel it, the pitter patter of it in your chest. Your hand comes up to cradle his cheek, rubbing your thumb over the space under his eye. You nod, and move in to kiss him.
His lips are so soft, and the way they move in conjunction with yours provides much needed relief. You stay like that for a few minutes, and when you’re done, he rests his forehead against yours. Eyes closed, feeling the gentle breeze sweeping up the hill you’re sitting on. You never had anything like this when you were still alive, the easy conversation and back and forth banter. He’s your new safe space. You don’t have to worry about anything when you’re with him.
“This is perfect.”

A moment you only recall when it’s too late.
Nolan wonders how he got here, married to Debbie, a father to a toddler, and another one due soon. He tried to rationalize it. That he’s doing this so people like Cecil will trust his intentions, so that it seems like he’s integrating himself like Martian Man, that he’s one of them.
That it’s all for the mission.
But he knows that he’s slowly screwing himself over when you toddle to him, chanting ‘daddy’ over and over. When his wife calls him over to feel his second child kicking, strong and firm. When Art, who is becoming someone he genuinely likes, with his wit and comforting presence, convinces him to ditch the white Viltrumite outfit, for something more ‘iconic’, something heroic. Something that isn’t him.
He enters through the back like he always does, leaving the dark night behind, to enter the well lit and painfully warm home he’s called his own for a couple years now. You, who should be fast asleep, call out to him excitedly, waving around a stuffed dog. He picks you up, his hold delicate in a way he never had to be until he came to this planet.
“A new costume? Looks like Art finally changed your mind,” Debbie, his Debbie, comments from the couch, resting a hand on her stomach. “But, didn’t we agree that a toddler knowing her dad is a superhero isn’t a good idea?”
“I thought she’d be asleep, by now. Especially since you talk about how much a bedtime is needed whenever I let her stay up,” He responds, focused on your babbling; you’re telling him about your day. What can a toddler even do that’s remotely interesting? Yet, he’s enraptured.
“She refused to go to bed until you read her another part of your novels,” his wife smiles warmly, “She’s your number one and only fan, it seems.”
“She’s got taste,” he notes, a fluttering feeling in his chest. “I’ll get her tucked in. Looks like she wants to see how Space Rider’s story ends.”
“Make it kid friendly,” she calls as he ascends up the stairs, “And then come back so I can get a closer look at that new suit of yours.”
“What have you done?” You ask, fifteen years old and trying to wash the grime out of your suit in the bathtub.
Mark grins at you while posing in the mirror, wrapped in duct tape, “I’m going to be a hero like you guys, even if my powers don’t come in!”
“You’re still young, and not every Viltrumite is the same,” you reply, draining the bathtub and wringing out the excess water from your suit. “Don’t be in such a rush. You aren’t even thirteen yet.”
“Easy for you to say,” he retorts, “Besides, duct tape can literally do anything! You guys can beat up the bad guys and I’ll tape them up for the police!”
Inwardly you wince at the idea of him going against the maniacs you face every day. But instead you tilt your head in an act of show.
“You could only be a hero to leaky pipes dressed like that. And, it looks like dad just got home, so if—“
He doesn’t let you finish, instead sprinting downstairs.
You finish cleaning and disinfecting the tub, leaving your suit in your room to dry, heading downstairs only for Mark to rush by you, heading up to the washroom. Hopefully he’s patient enough to let the tape soak enough before ripping it off.
“That boy is never getting his powers, is he?” Is what you’re greeted with when you enter the living room, you quirk a brow at your father while your mom only smiles and hooks her arms around his neck.
“Don’t ask me, you’re the superhero, space alien. But even if he doesn’t, we’ll love just as much.”
“And don’t girls normally mature faster than boys or something? He could just be a late bloomer. I got my powers at thirteen so it could be any day for him now,” you piped up.
“Very true, now you two finish up dinner while I untape the boy,” your mom announces passing by you to join your brother upstairs.
You step to join your father at the counter, but falter when his face contorts with frustration, eyes focused on the stairs. He steps forward with his teeth bared like a dog about to attack, ignoring your presence for a moment.
“Dad?” You cautioned, approaching him slowly.
He steps back, the tension leaving him, looking almost distraught. You place a hand on his arm, and he almost crumples, shame filling his face before he hides it with his hand as you embrace him. Neither of you say anything, as he leans onto you before pulling away, a weight in his eyes and his brow still furrowed.
You two silently finish cooking and setting the table.
And when a tape free Mark runs down the stairs with an exclamation of hunger, your mom following behind him, the interaction goes forgotten.
Yes, the moments here are the ones from Eve’s special episode! Wanted to explore Nolan a bit more and his perspective!
Season 3 was so good that I had to make this a series…

Warnings: non/dubcon, stalking, and other dark elements. My username actually says you never asked for any of this.
My warnings are not exhaustive but be aware this is a dark fic and may include potentially triggering topics. Please use your common sense when consuming content. I am not responsible for your decisions.
Characters: Cole Turner
This AU is called Watcher Anonymous and will include different series for different characters. This is our introduction to Cole and Eartha.
Summary: loneliness can drive one to desperate measures.
As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. I’m happy to once more go on this adventure with all of you! Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging ❤️
Cole is tired. He's never really not. He spends all day on his feet, cleaning up some clog in the drains or fending off the pests in the fields. There's not much going on aside from the constant battle with the earth for his livelihood. His family's too.
Ever since his dad had a stroke, it's been on him to balance it all. His sister if off who knows where with who knows his name and his mom is looking after his dad. So it's all up to him to keep this place going. And it's all on her to keep him going.
The shame used to make him squirm. His skin would burn and his blood would boil. He'd close his laptop and mope, feeling bad for himself, calling himself weak. Then he'd open it back up and keep doing it. His persistence became indifference, Not to her. No, he only ever thinks of her. He just doesn't care if it's wrong because it makes him feel right.
That night, he's addled. His dad isn't doing well, his mom is worried despite efforts to hide that, and he can't get an answer from his sister. She said she'd come see them so he could spend more time working. Not that he really wants to.
He slips his phone into the little plastic pocket to protect it from the water. He balances it on the rack that hangs around the showerhead and he cranks the faucet to a steaming spray. He stands under it as he lets it wash away the tension and waits for the stream to buffer. It's taking a bit today but sometimes it happens. Out here in the farm lands, reception is spotty.
It's not working. He's lathered up by the time the error shows. Disconnected... Strange. Why?
He gives up with a sigh. The one thing he has to look forward to and even that isn't going his way. He'll give Jensen a call when he's done.
He rubs dry his hair as the water drips down his legs onto the mat. He looks down at himself then moves to face his reflection in the mirror. He's not an ugly guy. He's not being a narcissist, he just doesn't think he's that bad. He shouldn't be alone. Still.
He huffs and wraps the towel around his waist. He grabs his phone from the show and closes the curtain. He walks down the hall and locks himself in his room. His bars are full. He shouldn't be having issues with a signal.
He dials out and waits for Jensen to pick up. He does right as Cole expects to go to voicemail. He's whisper.
"Hey, dude," Jensen scuffs around.
"Busy?" Cole asks.
"Eh, sorta, just..." he clears his throat. "All clear now, bud. What's up?"
"Mm, well... you remember... that... feed. So, er, it's not working."
"Hm, and it's just on her laptop?"
"Yeah," Cole sits on the bed and chews his thumb. "All of a sudden."
"Did the error have a code?"
"Uhhh yeah, I think," he recalls the numbers as best he can.
"Device is either off or broken. Could be both. You could give it a few days and see," Jensen suggests.
"Sure, but, er..." A few days is a long time especially when they're so slow. "Yeah, you're right. I'll wait her out."
"Dude, trust me, I get it. Boss went out of town last week and I saw her pack her favourite toy," he purrs grossly. "Anyway, it's about that time for me."
The line clicks. Good. Jake kinda weirds him out sometimes. He drops his phone.
He'll be cool about this. He can handle a few days without watching her. I mean, she's a stranger. They've never even met. She doesn't even know he exists. So he can log off and touch grass, so they say.
~
The days pass in a torturous slog of dirt, pollen, and lonely nights. Cole is wound tight, ready to snap as he has a thousand things pulling at him at once. His mom wants to hire a nurse, his dad is getting aggressive with everyone, and his sister just convinced his mom to send her money they don't have. Worst of all, he's alone. He's not sleeping because all he does is dream of her.
As he cuts away the rot from the tomato vine, he catches the tip of his glove, just enough to pinch himself good. He curses as a flash of rage swells in him. He whips the clippers into the dirt and snarls. Goddamn it!
He paces back and forth angrily. He rips off the gloves and tucks them into his workbelt. He combs his fingers through his hair and prowls like a wild beast. He can't take it anymore.
He takes his phone out and calls Jensen. It takes two tries but he gets an answer. Not a happy one.
"Dude, I had to leave a meeting--"
"Feed's down," Cole interrupts. "I'm having a real bad day and I need--- I need it."
"Jesus, you sound like it. Hm, okay, you know her email?"
"Uh, sure I do," Cole says.
"Right, you know everything," Jensen laughs. "Come on, guy, let's not pretend here. We're all a bit freaky. So, I'll send you something. Don't click on the link, got me? You take that template and forward it to her. I'll include instructions so you can dupe the sender... she'll think it's some bullshit coupon redemption or whatever. She clicks on it, you got full access again."
"Really? That easy?"
"Well it all depends on her, doesn't it?" He snorts. "Alright, I'll get that too you when I can. Gotta go."
The call ends. Cole leans against the fence and sighs. He better follow through. Better yet, it better work.

Hii!! So o just started rewatching Once Upon A Time, and I just had a thought about Jefferson omg!!
Would it be okay if I request a Jefferson x fem!reader where she is Emma’s sister (technically twin, but Y/n somehow got sent to a later time than Emma, so she’s in her early 20s so she’s younger than Emma)? After the curse is broken they find her at her barista job and she comes back to Storybook with them (after the Charmings prove they’re her parents and Emma is her sister). Anyways, she moves in with her parents and gets super close with them and the rest of her family (and everyone in storybook) and she happens to meet Jefferson when she’s checking out the bookstore in town? She immediately draws his eyes and he definitely flirts with her!! Anyways, they start dating in secret until her parents come across them cuddling (in Y/n’s defense her parents weren’t supposed to be home yet lol). David being soo protective like he was when he found out Hook was seeing Emma, and Mary being so shook lol, also Emma would be kind of shook too lol after her experience with him. Y/n and Jefferson just really love each other a lot, and his daughter really wants her dad to marry Y/n because she wants her to be her Mom🥹
True Love » Jefferson/Mad Hatter
Pairings: Jefferson x Female Reader
Summary: You and Jefferson find true love in each other shortly after the curse is broken.
Warnings: Fluff, tiny bit of Angst (not Jefferson), language, kissing, crying (happy tears), pet names
A/N: Thank you for the lovely request @kpopgirlbtssvt 🩵
A/N #2: I’m still catching up on Once Upon A Time since I haven’t watched it in a while. I apologize if I get anything wrong.
Written on my phone. My apologies for any mistakes.

Immediately after the curse was finally broken, Emma went to find her parents with Henry, only to find out that her parents are Prince Charming and Snow White.
“Where’s your sister?” Snow asks.
“Sister? I have a sister?” Emma asks, looking from her mom to her dad.
“You have a twin sister. Her name is Y/N. Although, the curse may have affected her differently.” Charming tells her.
“What do you mean differently?” She asks.
Henry opened his book and flipped to the page you’re on and handed it to Emma. Emma took the book from Henry and read your part of the story. She was taken by surprise by what she read.
“Y/N got sent later in time, but she looks younger than me.” Emma reads aloud, looking up at her parents.
Snow and Charming nodded, confirming it.
“Where is she?” She asks.
“I know where she is.” Henry chimes in.
“Take me to where she is, Henry.” Emma says.
Henry nods with a smile and started walking with Emma, Snow, and Charming following behind him. They didn’t have to walk far. You were working at a coffee shop a street away.
“Where is she?” Emma asks, looking around the coffee shop.
“She’s the lady pouring coffee.” Henry says, pointing at you.
Emma looks over at you, looking at you for a moment before walking over to the counter.
“Hi! What can I get you guys?” You asked politely.
“I- Is there anyway that we can talk to you for a moment?” Emma asks.
You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion before calling one of your coworkers over to take over for you. You followed Emma, Henry, Snow, and Charming to a table and sat down.
“What do you guys want to talk about?” You asked.
“I know this is going to sound crazy and trust me, I thought it was crazy at first too, but I’m your twin sisters and they’re your parents.” Emma tells you.
Your eyebrows shot up. You were caught by surprise.
“What?” You asked, making sure you heard her right.
“It’s true.” Snow says.
You sat there completely speechless. Henry opened his book and flipped it to the page that explains everything.
“This will help.” Henry says, putting the book in front of you.
You read the pages you’re on. The book confirms everything for you. Prince Charming and Snow White are your parents and Emma is your twin sister.
“How is this possible? How are you and I twins if I’m younger than you?” You asked, looking at Emma.
“From what I just learned, there was a curse that was just broken and when it was casted you got sent a little further in time than me.” Emma explains.
“Who casted the spell?” You asked.
“The Evil Queen.” Charming says.
You leaned back against the chair, trying your best to process everything you just learned.
“Everything we’re telling you is true, Y/N.” Snow says.
“It came as a shock to me as well.” Emma says.
“We would like to get to know you, if you’re ok with that.” Charming says.
You thought about it for a moment. You spent your whole life trying to figure out who your parents are and now that they’re sitting in front of you, along with your twin sister, you want to get to know that.
“I would like that.” You say softly, making them smile.
Over the next few months, you got to know your family and you ended up moving in with your parents. Today, you were going to a bookstore. You accidentally bumped into someone when you were trying to open the door to the bookstore.
“I am so sorry!” You apologized. “I wasn’t paying attention to where I was walking.” You say.
“No need to apologize. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was walking either.” The man says with a small chuckle.
When you looked up at him, you couldn’t help but notice how pretty and how blue his eyes are. You got lost in them.
“Forgive me for staring, but you have very pretty eyes.” You complimented.
“I’m pretty sure all of the prettiness is reserved for you, darling.” He compliments flirtatiously, flashing a smile at you and making you blush. “I’m Jefferson.” He says, holding his hand out for you to shake.
“I’m Y/N.” You introduced yourself, shaking his hand.
“If it’s ok with you, I’d like to take you out on a date.” Jefferson says with a hopeful smile.
“I’d love that.” You smiled.
“I’ll see you tomorrow at 7pm.” He says.
“See you tomorrow.” You smiled.
You walked inside the bookstore with a smile on your face. All you could think about is your date with Jefferson. Instead of buying a book, you went straight home to look for something cute to wear on your date with him tomorrow night.
You and Jefferson got really close after a few dates. Jefferson found out you’re one of the daughters of Snow White and Prince Charming. You found out he has a daughter named Grace who you met the other. Jefferson brought her into the coffee shop you work at for you two to meet and you two get along perfectly. Shortly after meeting Grace, you and Jefferson made it official. Except, your parents don’t know about it. As of right now, you and Jefferson are cuddling in your bedroom.
“Grace really likes you.” Jefferson says, gently rubbing your back.
“I like her too. She’s a great kid.” You say, playing with his scarf.
“She is.” He smiles.
You looked up at him, admiring his handsome features.
“You’re staring, sweetheart.” Jefferson says, looking down at you.
“No I’m not. I’m simply admiring how handsome my boyfriend is.” You say.
“Well, in that case…” He kisses you. “You’re absolutely gorgeous.” He says softly.
You smiled and blushed before leaning up to kiss him softly and passionately. The kiss got cut short when your parents walked in your bedroom.
“Y/N!” Charming says loudly.
You and Jefferson separated from each other to see your parents standing in the doorway of your room.
“Mom, dad, what are you guys doing home early?” You asked, your face red with embarrassment.
“We should be asking you why he’s in your bed.” Charming says, gesturing to Jefferson and narrowing his eyes at him.
To save yourselves from even more embarrassment, Jefferson got off your bed.
“I’ll see myself out.” Jefferson grabbed his jacket. “I’ll see you tomorrow, sweetheart.” He says softly, kissing your cheek.
You gave him a smile and watched him leave.
“Dad, why would you do that?” You asked.
“I didn’t do anything. You had the Mad Hatter over without our permission.” He says.
“Him and I were just cuddling. That’s what boyfriends and girlfriends do.” You say.
Your parent’s eyes went wide when you said that.
“Sweetie, did you say boyfriend and girlfriend?” Snow asks, making sure she heard you right.
Your eyes went wide.
“Yes.” You mumbled.
Charming shook his head and walked out of your room.
“I love him, mom and he loves me.” You tell her. “Don’t make us break up. Him and I are happy together. What we have is true love.” You say.
“I’ll talk to your father.” She says.
You nodded as she walked out of your room.
“Darling?” Snow says softly as she walks in the living room where Charming is.
“I don’t want our daughter dating the Mad Hatter.” Charming says.
“She’s in love and happy with him.” She says.
“He’s a mad man.” He says.
“Don’t you want our daughter to be happy?” She asks.
“Yes. Just not with him.” He says.
“Whether we like it or not, she’s not going to break up with him.” She says.
Charming thought about it for a moment. All he wants is for his daughters to be happy. As much as he doesn’t like Jefferson, he makes you happy.
“Ok, fine.” Charming sighs. “Y/N, come here please!” He calls out.
You went downstairs to the living room where your parents are.
“Are you going to make me break up with Jefferson?” You asked, your eyes tearing up.
“As much as I don’t like him, no. I want you to be happy. You can stay with him.” Charming tells you.
You smiled and hugged both of your parents. They hugged you back and smiled.
“I love you guys so much!” You say.
“I want to give him a talk though.” He says.
“What kind of talk?” You asked.
“I just want to tell him what’s going to happen if he ever breaks your heart.” He says.
“He won’t do that, dad.” You say.
“I just want to be sure.” He says.
The next day, Jefferson and Grace met you at the coffee shop you work at. It’s something they do frequently after Jefferson picks Grace up from school. Jefferson gets Grace a hot chocolate and a treat and gets himself a tea as usual.
“Y/N!” Grace exclaims excitedly.
“Hi, Grace!” You smiled.
Grace ran over to you, greeting you with a hug. Jefferson greeted you with a kiss on your lips.
“How much more does your father hate me?” Jefferson asks.
“Not as much as you’d think. He wants to talk to you.” You say.
You got Jefferson and Grace their drinks and treats. They always sit at a table and wait for you to finish work.
“What does your father want to talk to me about?” Jefferson asks as you, him, and Grace walk inside your parent’s house.
“He just wants to make sure you don’t break my heart.” You say.
“You know I’m not going to do that, sweetheart.” He says, pecking your lips softly.
As a father himself, Jefferson understands why Charming wants to talk to him. He would do the same thing if it were Grace.
“Mom, dad! I’m home!” You announced throughout the house.
You found your parents in the living room.
“Hi, sweetie.” Snow smiles. “Let’s go to the kitchen so your father can talk to Jefferson.” She says.
You nodded and followed your mom to the kitchen with Grace following right beside you.
“Jefferson.” Charming says.
“Charming.” Jefferson says.
There was an awkward silence between the two men for a moment before Charming said something.
“Y/N tells me and Snow that you two are in love.” Charming says.
“That’s right.” Jefferson confirms. “Your daughter makes me happy.” He says.
Charming stared at him for a few seconds to see if he was telling the truth, in which he is.
“You have a daughter so I’m sure you’d say the same thing if the roles were reversed.” Charming begins. “If you break my daughter’s heart, I’ll hurt you in the same way you hurt her.” He says.
“I’m not going to break her heart. I love her and so does my daughter. She’s an amazing influence for Grace.” Jefferson says.
Emma walks in the house, walking in the living room, accidentally interrupting yours and hers dad’s conversation with Jefferson.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. I thought mom and Y/N were in here.” Emma says.
“They’re in the kitchen with Grace.” Charming tells her.
Emma nods and looks at Jefferson, narrowing her eyes at him before going to the kitchen.
“Why’s dad talking to Jefferson?” Emma asks as she sat down at the table.
“He wants to tell him to not break my heart.” You say.
“Not to break your heart? What do you mean?” She asks.
“Papa and Y/N are boyfriend and girlfriend.” Grace tells Emma.
A shocked expression formed on Emma’s face when Grace told her that.
“You and Jefferson are dating?” Emma asks.
“Yes.” You answered.
“For how long?” She asks.
“A few weeks.” You answered.
“Maybe you can be my new mom!” Grace chimes in excitedly.
You stared at Grace in surprise when she said that.
“They would have to get married first before she can be your new mom, Grace.” Snow says.
“I know.” Grace smiles.
A few months later, Jefferson asked you to move in with him and Grace, which you happily did. Grace sees how much you and her papa love each other. It makes her happy to see her papa happy.
“Papa, when are you going to ask Y/N to marry you?” Grace asks curiously.
“Some time real soon. Why do you ask, sweetie?” Jefferson asks.
“I want her to be my new mom.” She says.
Jefferson smiles softly at his daughter.
“Are you sure that’s what you want, baby?” He asks softly.
“Yes!” She answers, nodding her head eagerly. “I love her like she’s my mom!” She says.
“I love her too.” He smiles. “I’m going to show you something, but you have to promise to not tell Y/N.” He says.
“I promise, papa!” She promises.
Jefferson took a small box out of his pocket and opened it, showing Grace the diamond ring in it.
“Is this for Y/N?” Grace whispers.
“Yes. What do you think of it?” Jefferson asks softly.
“It’s shiny and pretty. Y/N will love it.” She smiles.
“I hope she will.” He smiles.
Jefferson closed the small box and put it back in his pocket at the same time you walked in the living room.
“I was wondering where you two were.” You say as you sat down on the couch.
“Papa and I were talking about you.” Grace says.
“All good things I hope.” You say.
“All good things.” Jefferson smiles. “Grace, can you play in your room for a little bit? I have to talk to Y/N about something important.” He says.
Grace nods before carefully sliding off the couch and went to her room to play.
“I have to ask you an important question, my love.” Jefferson says softly.
You watched as Jefferson stood up and got a small box out of his pocket. He got down on one knee in front of you. You gasped softly when he opened the small box, revealing a beautiful diamond ring.
“When we met, I knew we’d be together forever. I know how true our love for each other is. I love what a great mother figure for Grace. I love you with all of my heart. Will you marry me?” He asks.
“Yes!” You answered, happy tears rolling down your cheeks.
Jefferson smiles widely and put the ring on your finger. He then kissed you passionately, gently cupping your cheeks.
“Let’s tell Grace.” Jefferson almost whispers.
You nodded and stood up. You two walked hand in hand to Grace’s bedroom to see her playing with her new stuffed bunny.
“Grace, we have amazing news.” Jefferson says.
“What is it?” Grace asks, putting her bunny down.
“Your papa and I are getting married.” You tell her, showing her your engagement ring.
Grace squeals happily and gave you two a hug.
“Does this mean I can call you mom or mama?” Grace asks curiously, looking up at you.
“Of course you can, sweetie.” You smiled. “I want you to know that I’m not replacing your real mom in any way.” You say softly.
“I know.” She almost whispers. “I love you, papa. I love you, mama.” She says, still hugging you and Jefferson.
“We love you too, sweetie.” You and Jefferson say in union softly.
Later that same day, you were laying in bed, admiring your engagement ring with a smile on your face.
“Mrs. Mad Hatter suits perfectly, don’t you think?” Jefferson says with a smile on his face.
“It’s absolutely perfect.” You almost whispered.
Jefferson got in bed next to you and kissed you sweetly.
“You’re going to be an amazing mom to Grace.” He says softly.
“I think so too.” You say.
“I love you, sweetheart.” He murmurs softly, kissing you softly.
“I love you too, my Mad Hatter.” You whispered, kissing him back.

Just came to a shocking revelation
If you take one good look at my profile, you don’t even have to scroll far to tell that I absolutely love Gihun. Most of the time though when I talk about it I mention how he’s made crazy stupid decisions in the second season and how I wish he just got on the plane to see his daughter. But, here’s the thing.
Coming from someone who also has divorced parents, and lives with my mom and a stepdad and doesn’t know really know where my bio dad is, if I were Gayeong, I would be able to come to terms with not knowing where he is.
I saw someone mention that Gayeong is in a more stable situation with her mom and stepdad now that her mom and Gihun are divorced, and that’s honestly probably very true. So they’re right, Gihun doesn’t really need to BE there. Gayeong is safer where she is. What irks me though, and i know im not the only person who feels this way, is that when you’re that young and your parents are arguing in front of you and are obviously unhappy with each other, it hurts A LOT to witness it all.
So, my point being, I can understand Gihun opting to stay in Korea and can even slightly understand him ghosting Gayeong. I still don’t know why he would call her, say nothing, and then just wait for her to hang up as that’s just kinda weird regardless, but I can see what his intentions are.
And also, I don’t think Gayeong is hurting as much as we think she is. At least not anymore. It’s absolutely devastating to lose your birth parent in any fashion, but she has a lot more facilities and space in America to get the help she needs to overcome the hurt. As we saw in season one, her stepdad is well off, so surely her therapy bills are being paid for.
On the other side of that coin, I think that’s why Gihun turned around. Maybe he originally was going to go visit, maybe he was going to move to America to keep an eye on her from a distance. But once he knew there were more people about to suffer just as he did, he made one of the hardest decisions a parent could make in a split second by turning around. If my dad did that, I think I’d be proud of him. I’d be hurt at first, but eventually, I’d be happy for him if I knew.

i feel like i'm hurting so much for faifa in this episode. he doesn't deserve to hear that many hurtful words. before i continue, i think i need to say this first: as an asian myself, i will always understand why most (asian) shows choose forgiveness when dealing with bad parents/parenting, no matter how unforgivable they might be seen by the rest of the audience. and that, i believe, is not of any agenda by the showmaker. of course, to not generalize it, few medias didn't go through that route because of a different preference or goal in the storytelling. however, understanding forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean i believe it is always the 'right' way of wrapping up an arc.
thinking about the upcoming faifawine's story starting next week, i feel like some dialogues in this episode, no matter how they really felt off to me, are intentionally right there as a further backstory for faifa. and especially if the directing choice of faifa's expression changes through that scene with the whole family is anything to go by.
when yotha called fai, he said this first: "Tell me honestly. Don’t be scared of hurting anyone." as if yotha knows that fai always keeps his feelings to himself to avoid hurting anyone else.
fai trying to come up with a reasoning, "I was probably just angry with her, but I think everyone was hurt by what happened— Dad, Newton, and Mom." as if to avoid answering yotha's question, "Do you hate her?" with his real answer.
"If Mom really wanted to abandon us, why would she have taken me with her?" shows that fai was not being optimistic (as yotha implied) but somehow trusted the mom. only to be shattered later, "I thought if I brought Faifa who loves being with his Dad and brothers, at least he would ask me to bring him back to visit everyone often and we’d all see each other sometimes. On the other hand, if I’d brought you, Yotha, we might have been so happy that we wouldn’t have wanted to come back and see anyone here again..." (what nonsense! i cannot understand any logic behind this one.) in a way implying that she might haven't been that happy with fai, which somehow validate what he and yotha had been talking about before: "I don’t know why she took me with her even though you were the one who wanted to go." / "Because she loves you more than me." / "That’s definitely not the reason." oh, i was right. mom doesn't love me. but she's hurting. but...
imagine being faifa, hearing all of those hurtful excuses, but his immediate response was trying to justify why mom did what she did instead of trying to validate the real feeling he himself was having. and i say this with my whole being: that's a pretty accurate representation of how we, asian kids, mostly were nurtured. the scene just stabbed me right in the heart.
faifa might haven't said anything, but his face didn't lie. you could very clearly see how his face instantly dropped once mom told her reason for taking him instead of yotha at that time. and i still cannot forget the face he made a few episodes back when mom gave him something he was allergic to. the level of gaslighting here is too suffocating to witness. the emotional neglect just hits too hard. i cannot even begin to break it further into fai's loneliness.
all these made me wonder how the upcoming third arc will 'deal' with fai's inner wound. i hope the show won't brush it off because i think it would add more depth to the romance part, how he navigates his feelings once someone finally enters his life, as it has been implied that wine was also dealing with heartbreak.
#perfect 10 liners#p10l#april.txt#i can't wait for next week and please let faifa free from the pain. he deserves so much love and hugs.#okay hitting the post now button before i changed my mind and delete this

💬New Post from holidaygirl1224

I've never been to the city… at least, not really. I went by it once. We visited my grandfather who lived just across the bay. He lived so far away, I had never even met him… but it was Christmas break, and my mom wanted a "change of pace." So off we went. Driving past the city, seeing all the blinding lights and huge skyscrapers, it felt like… a dream. It felt like that one movie where the kids are on a train that's heading to the North Pole, and so much goes wrong on their way, but when they finally make it and see Santa's village, it was the most magical thing they'd ever seen. The city was only in view for maybe two minutes before getting covered up by hills again… Then it was off to my grandpa's. It was… an awkward trip. We left a day earlier than we had planned. I don't think anyone minded. The cold apparently caused some pipes to burst at the ICE-E's back home, and the owners were threatening some sort of lawsuit against the city… so my mom had to get back as soon as possible and "sue them harder." It was barely past midnight when we left… mom wanted to make sure we were back in town before the sun was up. Driving back home, once again, the city came up over the horizon… we were nearly about to pass it, when my dad suddenly took the exit into the city, much to my mother's dismay. My dad insisted we needed to eat before driving back home. He wanted to take us to a diner he went to as a kid. He was so excited to show us. He couldn't stop praising their "unbeatable cheese sticks"… but when we pulled up, there was no diner. In the diner's place, however, was a Burger Belle… there was no drive-thru, so my dad went inside while my mom and I stood outside against the car. She took this time to make some more calls back home. Her voice quickly faded away as I took in the city sounds around me. It was late, there was barely anyone out, yet there was still so much to take in… the distant cars, distant music, the not-so-distant clanking in the alleyway. I could barely even feel my ears freezing off. I don't think I would've cared if they did. Before I knew it, my dad was already back out, and we got back into the car, quickly leaving the city. I've never been back since then… maybe one day I'll get to truly visit. Maybe one day, I can finally live my dream… our dream. Maybe one day, we can live our dream.

It was never easy to tell when banter was just banter and when there was a little more weight to it. Sunny tried to never read too much into the words of others. She had embarrassed herself more times that she would have liked to admit by thinking people were into her (or worse hated). Unless they were explicitly clear, she would just laugh at it and roll her eyes. Even when they were, she did the same. “I never said it was true just that there are people who think it,” she said, shaking her head. There was definitely truth to that too. “Maybe the people who have had to deal with the real me should start a class action lawsuit against them for misrepresentation.” That’s was definitely an idea. It was definitely better that someone else have to pay it than herself. She wasn’t overly concerned about anyone actually pulling that though. They were more likely to try and come out of the woodwork and sue her for something relating to her business. They could try but she did have a lawyer dad. His focus might not have been bullshit lawsuits but he’d have figured something out or called on favors for friends. “Isn’t it better to be upfront about who you are so there aren’t any misconceptions?” she asked in return to his question. “I mean, maybe it would be better to wait a few times but honestly if they can’t handle the truth why are you even going to want to bother dragging it out. It’s better to run people off immediately.” And she was relatively good at that. That and knowing things about town. “There are. I mean, the trick is finding one’s that aren’t on private property. Trespassing is just the first thing in the quest for possible death.”
Sunny wasn’t a risk taker. Not even remotely. Growing up, she’d always been the kind of person who played it safe. She wasn’t likely to be caught dead jumping off a cliff. She’d tried a thing or two with limited chance of damage or chaos a time or two but she was much more content to keep her days downtown, running her bar or trying different foods. “That’s nearly an impossible feat though. I mean, trust me when I say, it is very rare for the dream to stack up,” she confessed. It was a bit like not meeting your idols, they were bound to disappoint you. She’d definitely put people on a pedestal only to have reality come crashing down on her later. “That is precisely it. I mean, I’m not sure what your after life would have in store for you but there is potential and at the end of the day, that people is enough to enter it with hope. I do have to warn you that she’s a bit of a screamer. Well, crier to be more precise but it comes out like a bit of wail – Maybe a partner in crime is what she needs to knock it out.” It made sense to her in her New Years Sleep Deprived brain. She nodded, willing to accept that neither of them actually wanted him to die. “I do a pretty good job of leaving things in random places on my own though honestly no one has to die to do that sort of things,” she told him. She listened to him talk, nodding as he talked about all the things he wanted to do with his son. She didn’t have any person experience in her life to relate to it but she could understand wanting to teach and encourage your kid to love and appreciate the things that were important to you. “Between your interests and his mom’s, he’s going either going to be the biggest hipster or completely rebel to the music and outdoors and become some sort of straight laced business man. It’ll be entertaining to watch.” You couldn’t really predict whether a person was going to run toward their genetic predispositions or against them. She snorted at the mention of booktok. “It’s okay. Men can be into spicy books too.”
Following and talking along the way was definitely the way to go. She felt a little warmer moving than she did standing around. Then again, moving from the beach and the breeze helped a little in that department as well. “It’s too late,” she said, “I’m afraid the image is already there and soon you will be known as the freezer fuck guy. You’ll be a legend. A questionable legend who people aren’t completely sure if they can trust but a legend never the less.” She did follow and wait, letting herself lounge against the wall while he got into warmer things. Her spiked hot chocolate was practically gone but it was okay since she’d soon have more. “You look less like an popsicle now,” she remarked taking in the sight of him. “And that will do. We don’t have far to go. Hopefully you can manage. I mean, we should start from the top with all the secrets.”
"All varieties of teasing are always on the table." A smirk tugging at his lips before laughing, his tongue darting out to wet his lips, tasting the saltiness of the water that still clung to his skin now. "Now who told you that you had an innocent appearance? Because they were lying, and you should get your money back." If there was one thing Ari could do, he could play the games too, she wanted to tease him, he could easily tease the blonde headed woman, at least she was being gracious enough to have talked to him so he wasn't standing on the beach completely alone, which had been the original plan. "Challenging and difficult, those are the two that you choose to start off with in telling someone about yourself? Brave, brave woman." Clicking his tongue, not sure if he was more impressed, amused, or fascinated by their conversation. "Believe you're supposed to save that information till you meet a person at least -- I don't know say the third time." Holding three of his fingers up as if driving the point really home. Though the blonde could do what she wanted, he just couldn't resist when she had offered up that information. "Mean there's the cliffs here, aren't there? Maybe it's not allowed to cliff jump from them, rocks below -- immediately crushes that rush, er -- figuratively and literally." Or maybe it was more turned into shredded human but there was no point in attempting to give more details to this story.
For Ari he was someone who was always up for an adventure, maybe you wouldn't actually find him cliff jumping but send him on a more difficult hike? Sign the man up. It was something he planned to do more of once the weather settled a bit more in Merrock and he could get outside, feel the crunch of his heavy boots back against the ground, it'd be that feeling of home for him. "That's all I could ever aim to be, a true gentleman, have to live up to someone's dreams." Ari quipped, tugging the towel tighter around his skin. "So you have one ghost lady, and you're willing to promote me. All I'm hearing is I'm winning at ghost life, and in the afterlife I'd at least have a friend, or maybe a ghost girlfriend, mean she's alone, I'm alone, haunting your for the rest of evermore might as well also make a partner out of it." It seemed like the only logical idea.
Giving a set nod, "You're not wrong, not something I want to think about anytime soon, actually happening. As much as haunting you until your last days probably would be far more amusing for me, than you. A person can only handle so many things going missing or ending up in random places before you know." Tapping the side of her temple indicating going a little crazy, but weren't they all in this world? "Definitely have a lot I want to teach him in this world so kind of have to stick around. Want him to learn to enjoy the outdoors, how to be kind and gentle with nature and animals." It was something he knew wouldn't happen for awhile, at least in the bigger sense there'd be years before he was taking him on adventures, but even in small ways he could make a change for the little boy. "Daddy Phantom sounds -- like you've been on booktok. Don't ask how I know about booktok either, you couldn't torture it out of me."
"I said that I'm freezing as fuck! Not that I fuck freezing -- wait, that -- no, definitely did not say that and I'm going to need you to make sure that you don't put out the image to anyone that I'm hanging around meat freezers. Are you trying to give the town of Merrock the idea I'm a serial killer? Not the vibe I'm trying to give, Sunny." As the blonde followed he rolled his eyes, "Apparently I'm far more exciting than you're giving me credit for, but I will take the liquor if you're offering now." Since this had all started over her playfully attempting to show off her spiked hot chocolate. Once inside it didn't take him long to dry off and change, emerging with his own hot drink, now far more suitable in a pair of jeans, his boots, and a simple button up. "Alright, I did make a pit stop for one of these, figure warm up and you show me the direction to this place you intend to take me to liquor me up and tap into all my secrets. Let's see how much game you have."

My haitani father Shio headcanon is just a bit too funny cuz of how well it works that it sounds like a waste of perfect canon idea and crossover for both of wakui's works.
Aside from the obvious physical features very very obvious, identical eyes, nose, blonde eyebrows, rindou's face form, ran's hair color palette and (arguably) bonten hair style, blah blah i mean just look a the pictures below, you can also bring up any fact from either manga and add it to the hc and it fits in just SO WELL, i'll give the first example, The Haitanis are very obviously rich spoiled kids like have you seen their apartment? They have a fucking dj set, only rich kids with neglective powerful parents will have no problem paying for that, just saying, and even though i love him let's be real Shio is the type to be that parent, i mean cmon he's rich like crazy rich (filthy yakuza money yum yum) he tots would give his children WAY more than enough allowance so they can leave him alone, also the way they act, i've always the Haitanis were the type of kids that think they own the school cuz their dad is rich .

Nvm if this never becomes canon or both universes don't collide, it's just so entertaining to keep connecting the dots that were likely never there, like how Rindou is a heavy drinker cuz his father drank alot with the rest of the Yotsurugis and he tried to imitate him from a young age that it became an unhealthy habit or if you want to add more drama he only drinks cuz he looks up to his father but Shio favors Ran cuz he can posssibly succeed him (canon power complex) so Rindou resorted to drinking cuz it's the only thing like his dad that he can do. Heck yeah i made it angsty!!!
You can also add great context to his fear of Yakuza, picture this, when he was a kid he got up in the middle of night after hearing a loud noise to search for his parents and witnessed Shio (canon Yakuza) pew pew-ing some poeple and surrounded with scary men, that probably scarred him for life that he was so terrified when Kakucho got them interfering with some, OH OH something just came to mind, if he's the son of a yakuza yeah he didn't wanna clash with other yakuza families cuz it can end in a blood shed and risk his and his family's lives.
And i'm gonna add this one not very small detail and i swear i'll shut up (for now), i know it's just a stupid headcanon that is very far from becoming reality and i don't have to take it this deep but hear me out, why their last name is Haitani and not Yotsurugi like their dad, Shio is powerful and have many enemies right ? So he simply decided to protect his children and their identity by giving them another last name likely their mother's (yk like minato with naruto style plan ?) So Haitani is actually their mom's family name. I rest my case. Thank you for coming to my useless ted talk.
#i officially announce i have gone crazy#this is like my new hyperfixation until i find a better headcanon that is more likely to be canon#actually you should all thank me#i just made up a way for the haitanis to be useful for once in their lives#kinda#i mean we already established they bring absolutely nothing to the table#we don't have to go through that again#let's put it in a simple equation#tokrev plot - haitanis = no big difference#but Shio on the other hand is the main antagonist so far sooooo#in my logic by relation they are sort of useful in some way (through nepotism)#i saved the narrative you're welcome#also an addition no one asked for or thought about ran is their dad's favourite but loves his mom more#while Rindou is mama's boy (yk how moms prefer the youngest) but looks up to his dad#speaking of their mom i think she's like from another powerful family#and based on shio doing anything to gain more power that's probably why he married their mom in the first place#OMG ARRANGED MARRIAGE WITH SHIO IS INVADING MY HEAD AFTER I THOUGHT ABOUT IT FOR A SPLIT SECOND#WRITERS IF YOU'RE SEEING THIS PLLLLSSSSSS#oh and apparently Shio is also in Roppongi so that's that.#i really took calling him daddy shio to a whole other level lol#tokyo revengers#ran haitani#rindou haitani#negai no astro#astro royale#haitani brothers#shio yotsurugi#i'm gonna call my new masterpiece of a shitty hc#the wakui multiverse of madness

yknow. vanitas’ mark from luna is in a rather weird position for drinking blood. it’s almost as if he had his arms raised in self defense, for the star mark to be on the outside of his forearm.
and also, the two books of the blue moon just lean even further into vnc’s twins aspect
#vanitas no carte#the case study of vanitas#vanitas vnc#revisiting vnc to see if anything’s happened since i last thought abt it and#hmm.#also still convinced that misha’s arm was lost around the time vanitas killed luna#leading him to think that for all intents and purposes misha should be dead prior to the carnival#also kinda wondering abt the circus connection w naenia/malnomen & vanitas’ dads’ troupe#also. i can’t help but feel vanitas’ mom will be important. given that she inadvertently had such a huge affect on his psyche#vanitas calls luna ‘she’ bc he was missing a mom & misha ‘father’ bc he didn’t have a father#& i can’t help but wonder if vanitas is ‘naenia’s’ son from when she was a vampire (as the queen’s twin) or something along those lines#to make that circus/naenia malnomen/vanitas grew up in a circus/twins/why he’s been so resistant to being rewritten so far#& no70 is a vampire to me. 69&71 were humans -> vampires experiment. 70 was vampire -> human experiment. to me.#it’s 3:30am idk what i’m saying at this point.#also. vanitas asking noé to kill him -> blue rewriting vanitas -> once he’s been too rewritten he’ll no longer be ‘vanitas’#so i can see him seeing death being a kindness. bc it’d no longer be him#or maybe luna & the queen r twins and there’s another set of twins naenia & ??? idk. they all have similar hair#& luna is ‘not from than world’ so maybe their original self was just entirely rewritten making them ‘not from this world’#the naenia claws/bracelets/hair connections w luna and then vanitas w the claws lives in my brain whoever#as does the kissing connections. anyways. vanitas is gonna kiss noé at some pt w connection to malnomen & i stand by that#(also. twins & having one ‘true name’ bc of that leading to the idea of one being cursed)#(idk if we’ll ever learn vanitas’ birth name bc of its connection w his ‘true’ self that’s being rewritten)#(however. i know it’d be thematically on point if we do ever learn it. names have power! & we’ve never learned vanitas’ protecting him)

Flying a kite with dad, 1999
#there's such a cute story behind this picture#1. my dad desperately wanted pictures of us doing activities together but my mom refused to go anywhere with us OR use a camera#(like. she never went to parks/on bike rides/out to lunch with us etc. because she doesn't like going out)#he kept setting the timer on the camera and then running over and trying to get a good picture of him and I flying a kite together#2. BUT THEN I let too much string out on the kite and it flew away and I was devastated#so he went and called my grandfather and then put my grandfather on the phone with me#and my grandpa told me my unicorn kite came to visit him and that he had her now :) and thanked me for sending her to visit him#such a good wholesome memory

I'M CRAWLING ON MY KNEES ON THE DESERT FOR A HUNDRED YEARS REPENTING#WHAT THE FUCK IS FAMILY FOR YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING AND I'M SUFFERING SO MUCH AND I'M ALONE BECAUSE#MY FAMILY ABANDONED ME. I HAVE NO ONE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID BUT I'M BEGGING. I NEED HELP I NEED MY KIDDOS AROUND ME PLEASE I'M DYING#followed by several minutes of sordid updates on her shitty miserable life#which is tbf pretty shitty & miserable. she's extremely physically disabled & mentally ill#her partner had a severe stroke a couple months ago and is still recovering. they've both been in & out of hospital#neither working. partner's adult son who lives with them is the only income in the household#partner's permanently disabled mother also lives with them. plus 2 large dogs 6 cats and 3 each of chickens & ducks#they're in court suing their landlord bc he's trying to evict them but the property is an uninhabitable shithole to begin with#but like. whenever i do make the mistake of responding to one of her groupchat tantrums#she's just like 'oh you know me im a survivor :) i just miss yous is all :) now that you're here i'm gonna bitch about my life for an hour#and ignore everything you have to say and show active disdain & boredom whenever you tell me anything about yourself or your life :)'#and if i offer help she refuses it#like it's just a bid for attention. expecting unconditional love and absolution and salvation from us bc That's What Families Do#she doesn't actually seem to give a shit about any of us as real people. just this ironclad delusion of unconditional family support#that she frankly has not earned#my brother actually did go visit her in the hospital on thanksgiving. driving 2hrs out of his way to do so#and she was a raging passive aggressive bitch to him and threw the gift he'd brought her back in his face#ma'am i know you're Going Through It but so are the rest of us & frankly you've given me zero reason to want to interact w/ ur caustic ass#plus this is petty but yet another way in which she doesn't listen to me & makes no attempt whatsoever at genuine relationship#i've told her numerous times that responding to groupchat voice memos is hard for me. that i love & miss her#and if she wants to see me or needs help or whatever to please contact me one on one either by call or text#nope. refuses to respond to/initiate individual contact. ONLY traumadumping in the fam chat. TLDR MY MOM IS A DISFUNCTIONAL TOXIC NIGHTMARE.

True confidence in your dog being a pushover is pissing them off until they snarl at you, then continuing to piss them off while kissing the snarl, inches from sharp teeth that could end you.
I enjoy making Riley angry and daring her to bite me.
As a puppy, when she WAS very bitey, I'd poke her cheek into her teeth so if she bit at my finger she got her own cheek first. She would pretend to gnaw on my finger and snarl really viciously but really she was lightly gumming her own cheek.
#Riley forgets herself sometimes and has bitten people pretty severely on accident#Like she over-reaches for a treat in your hand and bites your fingers or jumps at you while you're going to her and collides#never intentional always accidental#but i think everyone has a scar from her#she nearly bit the end of my finger off going for a treat- her tooth went through the nail#but i still piss her off#now when you give her a treat you go 'gently riley' and she will soften her stance and still snap at it quickly#but mostly with her lips and not teeth#once she jumped up to hug my mother while my mother was bending down to hug her#and my mom ended up with a black eye from where Riley 'punched' her#which at first hurt and i was empathetic i promise#but it became HYSTERICAL when we tried to eat out and realized EVERYONE who saw her thought my father punched her#and when my mother bruises it lasts for over a month#so my father refused to eat out with us after a while because he was tired of being glared at#and 'our dog did it' just sounds like a bad lie#i suggested she get a shirt with that on it#back then she worked at a high school as a secretary and the police officer stationed in the school took her aside#and was like doing the 'this is a safe space. even for adults. you can tell me if there are problems at home.' trying to help her#and she had to explain to him 3 times it was the dog; then called me to explain; then i came over at dismissal with riley#and he met her and she tried to hug him and he understood finally#my dad is now able to laugh about this#riley
