MY FAVORITE IS DICK GRAYSON FORVER WILL BE DICK GRAYSON AND HERE IS WHY

DICK GRAYSON X Y/N ( FRUSTRATED ME EDITION)

- first of all , he is the hottest character in dc (literally the comics have written this line by line)

- he is the real one with communication issues. You think jason struggles with that? NO jason uses any chance to tell me people how much he suffered. But dick? He wears a smile, he hides everything he is feeling

- the only person who gets to see the real him is YOU. The stress, the pressure, the mommy daddy issues...cmon. and bruce prolly was the worst at raising grayson and learned from his mistakes for the rest

- dick is someone who tries to be happy. Who tries to have a normal life. Who tries not to let his issues affect him . But they do which is why he has so many fucked up relationships. But when he meets you he wants to keep you, he needs to keep you with him. So he tries yet again to open up, fix his issues, love you the way you truly deserve.

- AND let us all not pretend we are all not stressed asf in life. He is so joyful and bright and will almost never dull the mood. Car karaoke ? Done. Skinny dipping in some random lake you drive by? His suggestion. Amusement parks? He is excitedly pulling you to all the rides and WILL 100% WIN YOU THE BIGGEST TEDDY

- he is deep, he js in touch with his feelings and he knows how to take care of you. Idk abt u guys but I have issues . I want a man who gives you those words of affirmation, who makes it super obvious he likes you.

- he needs you just as much as jason or tim or damian do. He also never had genuine love, he also has been a soldier a leader the person responsible all his life. He needs yo hold you, he needs that peace and quiet away from everything he has to deal with . He wants someone he can come home to and just show how drained he is .

- he is so kind to the world but he WILL BURN IT FOR YOU . I refuse to believe any other opinion on this. No matter how big a hero this guy is...remember how he killed joker for jason? Someone he said he hated? Broke the no kill rule?? Yea imagine what he will do for you.

- and how dare u suggest he isn't jealous/ possessive. He gets so cranky..not insecure and u don't have to coddle him and avoid all other men ...but u do have to give him extra kisses

-HE IS THE REAL GREEN FLAG fuck the whole " a hero will sacrifice you for the world but a villain will burn the world for you" NOT HIM NO HE WILL KILL EVERYONE OKAY cuz how date anyone suggest taking you away from him after everything he has done for the world. You are his reward and you better remember that.

- slow waltzing in the kitchen while he sings you his favorite love song, giggling in a pretty cafe while sharing a piece of cake( he is feeding you the whole thing and will kiss you when u Ask why he isn't eating any himself) , getting tipsy and walking back home all sweet and drunk and in love. He is adventurous and wants to experience everything With you.

- best part, everyone around u will love him. I'm sorry but I like it when my bf is liked by the old ladies and my parents and my boss. He will make you the power couple, even if you aren't as "powerful". He is your biggest loudest supporter always. Always introducing you to ppl as if you cured world hunger , telling everyone just how smart and kind you are taking any opportunity to talk about You. And dancing with him at galas makes you feel like a princess

- he will get the best gifts, say the sweetest things, be the most supportive kind eyes only for you guy once he genuinely falls in love.

I love jason a lot too, and tim and bruce too. Like yes I daydream about all of them But I just hate how underrated my boy here is.

EVERYONE!! IM SEEING MY BF IN FEB!!! We’re gonna meet up in Seattle while dany goes to the deftone concert!! Things have been very sweet and super nice. We still call like every day lol. He’s met my buddies and he gets along with everyone and makes jokes and he’s rlly funny and is used to the crazy shit we all say and he follows along sometimes it’s rlly funny 😭 I’m sooooooo excited to see him. We’ve been planning together all of our cute little dates we wanna go on and it’s just so sweet to see him actually taking the initiative as well and helping me with plans and just. God I feel so lucky. We gonna go to the aquarium together cuz he’s never been to an aquarium 🥰 and gonna go to a Japanese garden as well cuz he’s never been to one either. Gonna go to some Mexican resteraunt amd the gay street and the zoo. Made plans to go to the beach as well cuz he never seen the ocean. I’m so fucking excited I just can’t wait. I cant wait for him to meet my family like. I am so nervous but i really genuinely think my family will like him. My mom was sending me Spanish songs to send him LOL cuz he listens to some Spanish artists my mom listens too😭. And I think it’s sweet that he’s been encouraging me to speak in Spanish and he’s been like calling me cute little Spanish pet names like mi amor and mi corazón 😫🥰and telling me he loves me in Spanish I think it’s rlly sweet 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖. He ordered me a surprise Christmas present too. He won’t tell me what it is. He also told his parents about me 😖😭 so flippin sweet. I feel so full of love and just. Every day is so sweet even when I’m sad he just knows how to make it better. I cant wait to see him. I know it’s going to hurt so bad on the last day but fuck. 4 days is better than 0. He’s just so sweet and I love that he’s been helping me with the planning. Also it’s been crazy weird but we’ve been weirdly in sync. Like there’s been so many moments where we’ll say the same thing or be thinking the same thing. It’s crazy work. I love that he doesn’t pressure me or get mad at me for anything 😭😖 he tells me he’ll be patient and wait as long as I need for anything and that it’s okay if I just need quiet time sometimes fuck he makes me so fucking happy. I love how much attention to detail he does and just. Everything is so sweet. I could sap about him for so long. It’s just crazy how much we connect and how fast we connected so we’ll. Like the spark was instantly there . We can riff off each others jokes and tease eachother in a sweet way and he reassures me and calls me handsome every day and makes me genuinely so fucking happy I really hope this all works out guys. I really don’t want to lose this one guys. This one feels actually healthy. When there’s issues (which is not often) we actually communicate openly and find middle ground and both share our thoughts and apologize if we need to and it’s just. Feels so healthy. I’m not scared I’m walking on eggshells I feel comfortable saying what I’m feeling and thinking knowing he’ll understand what I mean and if he doesn’t understand he doesn’t take it personally and asks questions instead of assuming. I love our common interests I love his desire to learn and his drive to experience life together. I love how he takes care of himself I love how he encourages me to take care of myself. I love that he makes me want to be the best version of myself. I love his views on life and his kind words and his kind heart. God if something works out please let it be this. His love feels so pure and so genuine I really cannot lose this. I’ll be broken.

HELP okay i just read the whole thing. im super impatient so i was reading kinda quick at parts but just holy fuck, yeah i was like babygirl noo!!!! and like, idk there were some parts that had me covering my hand with my mouth like omg😱😱 but jeezz… wow… i am a sucker for everything involved in that fic… it was almost too immersive i was like legitimately concerned for reader at times, but yeah im a sucker for toxicity in fics and the trope of like… making them watch🤭🤭

with yeosang.. so wooyoung and yeosang are really close friends irl so i also could kinda see them in a competitive thing.. with reader… soft dom yeosang, mean dom wooyoung type of deal… i can’t be more specific than that atm… im still trying to brainstorm. on his own, im kind of just thinking of smth cute like friends to lovers or childhood friends or smth cuz he is just so sweet i can’t rly see him being all that mean?

- 🥟 anon

I KNOW, I LIKED IT SO MUCH BUT SOMETIMES I WAS BEGGING IN MY INSIDES PLEASE GIRL STOPPPP

The scene in which Jay, Sunghoon and Jake were inside her room was so hot???? AND THEY WERE JUST TALKING I CAN'T. It was like the dream, to have those three guys be so desperate, and I loved that each of them had their own touch, Jay was bold and straightforward while Sunghoon was less invasive and Jake was simply a simp, and everybody knows, I ADORE SIMPS.

Jake sending unsolicited dick pictures was so real too 😭, acting all pathetic to bag the girl but being a complete pervert 😭, oh god but did I hate when they shared the nudes, I was begging on my insides please girl stop you're not fooling no one you know those three are ASSHOLES!

And I didn't like much how the envy for the sister was represented but not because it was bad, I'd have simply enjoyed more if there had been any reason to not love her because the sister literally opened the door of her house, gave her a room and trusted her to be with her bf while overworking herself to maintain those two 😭 (if I'm not wrong she fucked one of Heesung's friends I think and I guess that was supposed to make me like her less but nah I liked that too hahaha).

Finally the cam scene was one of the best sex scenes I've read in so long, I swear I was there with how well everything was described, I could see the set up, the boys in discord, the girl over his lap, how he was exposing her, all the noises and let's not talk about how my baby Jake was biting his lip so excited I could totally see him with shinny eyes waiting for more and more!

Really good fic yeah, those 30k words were so easy to read I enjoyed it a lot!

My punctuation would be in general a 9/10 but only because I was really begging for her to stop giving those boys so much so easily and the time she humped his pillow because God it was her sister's bed too, how could you get hot there 😭, it's like when I've heard of people wanting to fuck on their parents' bedroom honestly wtf, JAIL ☠️.

A competitive thing uhmmmm, I think I see them more like Yeosang can't confess or do everything he dreams to do to you and Wooyoung sees it so he offers himself to help him get closer to you but Yeosang is just so shy he needs his best friend even to fuck you 🥺

[evilsnievil]

Long short short I miss my boyfriend.

I haven’t been able to see him for over a month now. He’s my best friend in the whole world and I’ve only known him for a little over a year but we’ve gotten so close because we’ve both been through so much in the past year and we’ve been there for each other like neither of us has ever had before.

His parents a abusive as hell and at the end of November a whole bunch of stuff happened with him and them I won’t get into it but I can’t see him because his parents hate me for no other reason than because they hate him and are narcissistic control freaks. They even targeted me towards the start of all this literally coming up to my house not only telling my parents that I need to stay away from him but for no fucking reason they made up this whole lie that they saw on his phone that he was cheating on me with multiple people and my stupid ass believed it at first and almost off-ed myself because who would fucking lie about that but once I got my senses back I was like none of that fucking made sense and after a couple miserable days of losing my mind not knowing who to believe I ultimately chose my best friend because I have far more reason to trust him than his insane parents and their “proof” was literally just their word which is worth less than dog piss.

Since the whole thing we’ve been able to talk on the phone on and off (the off parts being because they did a bunch of shit to his phone and eventually took it from him). I think I developed some kind of abandonment issue from this because we would be talking just fine for a couple days and then randomly all I would get was silence and it would literally drive me mad worrying if he was safe or what. Recently we’ve been able to talk more steadily tho because while he was at his moms house (who is a literal hellsent demon but is on my bfs side and is being super chill rn) he got a second phone that he’s keeping secret from his dad and stepmom here and so far that’s going okay knock on wood.

I’m really thankful about this but still not being able to see him is killing me. He’s all I have and literally before all this happened I was talking to him about how I’ve grown so emotionally reliant on him after all the things that happened over the year and i was at a place where wanted to try and work on my myself so that I could become more of a whole person yk. And then not even a couple weeks later I have him ripped away and get put through the most violent emotional wringer of my life like what the fuck man this is not what I fucking meant not like this. I am in actual physically pain from missing him. My chest hurts everyday and I always wanna cry it’s literally pathetic. I’ve never been this long without him and I don’t know what to do with myself. I just want my sweet boy back so that I can hold him again and give him the comfort and love we both so desperately need after this god awful situation.

teenage dirtbag [four] // wanda maximoff

summary: Things finally explode between you and Nate, and Pietro decides to get to the bottom of whatever is going on between you and Wanda, though in usual Pietro fashion AKA not subtly at all

warning/s: none.

author's note: this is very beefy, i must admit, but i think you'll all enjoy the outcome 😂💘

part one | part two | part three | part five | masterlist | wattpad

Dinner with the Maximoffs wasn't as strange as I envisioned. Her parents were sweet and the twins did their best to make me feel comfortable. Wanda still seemed mildly frustrated whenever Pietro and I would talk though, and I figured she may have thought I was lying when I told her I didn't like him like that. I hoped that wasn't the case.

After dinner, Wanda took me upstairs to show me her bedroom. I'm not sure how to describe it other than it seemed so Wanda.

"I'm guessing red is your favourite colour," I said when I saw the hints of scarlet in her bedroom. On her walls, in her bedding, on her pillows. Just like her car and her jacket, they were all bright and very her.

"Great observation, Sherlock," she teased with a sly smile.

I returned the smile, sticking my tongue out at her playfully, before having a walk around and coming across her massive CD collection and CD player. Her music taste was actually quite similar to mine, which I definitely didn't expect. It just made her ten times more attractive to me which wasn't good, but oh well. I was here for a good time, not a long time. And my crush on Wanda Maximoff would surely be the death of me.

"D'you have any CDs at all?" she asked, joining my side when she noticed me staring at the shelf.

I crossed my arms, glancing at her. "Don't get me wrong. I'd love to collect them, but it's just so much easier to have Spotify, y'know?"

My intention wasn't to make her laugh, but God I was glad I did when her eyes crinkled and the sound rang around the room, making my heart pinch with adoration.

After giving me some of her pyjamas, the two of us got ready and brushed our teeth before I realised she wanted me to share bed with her.

"You wanna watch some TV before bed?" she asked, clearly not registering my hesitance to slide into her Queen-sized bed.

I swallowed hard. "S-sure."

She turned on the TV at the end of her bed as I slipped in beside her, still a bit rigid as I kept a fair distance from her.

"What you feeling? Comedy? Drama? Horror?"

"Anything is fine with me," I said, still tense.

She hummed in acknowledgement before leaning down on her pile of pillows behind her, edging closer to me. My heart was hammering in my chest as her hair tickled my arm from where she was laying.

"You comfortable?" she checked in, leaning backwards so her head was upside down to see me. "I have more pillows if you need them."

I offered her a small smile, hoping it disguised my nerves. "I'm good."

She nodded before flicking through the channels and eventually settling on reruns of The Office. It took time, but I eventually overcame my initial shock of sharing bed with the girl I had a major crush on and instead relaxed, getting comfortable under the covers.

After watching some TV, we called it a night and fell asleep quite quickly, the day taking its toll on us. For once, I wasn't panicking about doing something stupid. I simply fell asleep, trying to ignore the heat she emanated from beside me.

It was a peaceful night – her bed was super comfortable – and I woke up to the sound of Wanda moving about in her bedroom.

"Shoot, I'm sorry, did I wake you?" she asked when she saw me moving about under the blankets. I tried to blink away the sleep as she continued, "I was gonna wake you soon. School starts in an hour."

I rubbed my eyes, yawning, before sitting up and seeing she was practically already dressed. That meant she would have been up for a while, meaning she would have seen me fast asleep. God, I hated when people saw me sleeping. It always felt so weird.

"It's okay," I got out tiredly, before running a hand through my hair.

"You sleep well?" she asked, spinning around in her chair, her makeup half done. "I tried my very best not to use you as a teddy bear."

She was joking, but I felt my neck grow warm at the thought and damn, it was just way too early to be flustered.

"Yeah, I slept great," I settled, feeling her gaze on me. "Thanks again for having me over."

"Anytime," she said, and something told me it wasn't just a friendly response but that she actually meant it. Maybe it was the kind smile on her lips as she said so. "Just like last night, if you wanna use anything in the bathroom, go for it."

I gave her a thumbs up, taking a moment to wake myself up a little more, before heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I returned to Wanda's room, I saw she'd already made the bed and had laid my clothes on top of it.

"I've got a shirt you can borrow," she said when I grabbed my jeans.

"Oh, I can just wear the same thing again, it's no biggie," I told her, already grabbing my shirt.

She pouted before grabbing a shirt from her closet. "Just hold on. You'll love it."

In no time, she came out from her closet and held out a Paramore tee shirt on a hanger towards me.

"I got it from the last concert I went to," she explained. "I thought you'd like it."

I couldn't help but smile at the thought. "Wow, Wanda. Really? You don't mind?"

She nodded, shaking the shirt as emphasis for me to take it. I did, having a look over it and smiling to myself.

"I'll wash it and give it back to you tomorrow," I promised, taking it off the hanger and holding it with my jeans. "Thanks."

"You can keep it," she said, scratching the back of her head apprehensively. "I've got loads."

"Oh, no, I can't do that," I began to deny, but she shook her head.

"It's fine, I'm giving it to you," she said, before smiling sweetly. "I'm sure you'll look better in it anyway."

Again with the warmth spreading up my neck...

"I doubt that," I quipped with a small smile.

"Go! Go get changed," she said, already pushing me towards the door. "I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast."

I snickered, letting her shove me into the hallway, before heading into the bathroom to get ready. The shirt was oversized, so there was no need to be worried it wouldn't fit. It was actually really nice, plus I liked it that extra bit more knowing Wanda gave it to me. Though I knew I wouldn't keep it. It was hers and she was just being nice.

When I finished making myself look presentable, I headed downstairs and found the twins at the kitchen counter, chatting between themselves. Their chatter ceased when I walked in, with Wanda biting her lip and looking me up and down with satisfaction.

"I was right," was all she said, making me nervous. "You do look better in it than me."

—

The day after that, I did as I said I would and returned Wanda's shirt to her, washed, folded and ironed. Knowing she wouldn't accept it without a fight, I left it in her bag when she wasn't looking during class.

I should have expected her to approach me at my locker afterwards.

"It was supposed to be a gift," she said, and I saw her pretty face reflected in the mirror hung inside my locker.

I turned around, already knowing what she was talking about.

"I told you I couldn't accept," I said politely, giving her a small smile. "I appreciate it though." She seemed disappointed which obviously didn't help with my feelings for her, so I took a leap and added, "Maybe I can get my own at their next concert. In the summer, right?"

She picked up on what I meant and smiled, stifling a laugh. Running a hand through her hair, she met my gaze and I found myself frozen in place as always, unable to look away. I wondered if she knew what she was doing when she did that, knew that she was giving me heart palpitations every time her lips turned into a playful smirk and dark eyes studied me curiously.

My eyes drifted to her lips subconsciously and she must have put on some lip balm or something, prior to finding me just now, as they looked shiny and pink and just so damn kissable. Nate was one lucky guy.

—

Having faced issues with Nate three times now (AKA the three times he happened to launch a football at my head), I'd figured I wouldn't be seeing the last of him. He was a dick, meaning he had a natural inclination to piss people off, particularly me. But I never thought he'd go for Y/BF/N.

We were chilling by our lockers, chatting about his film project, when his books suddenly got knocked out of his hands and he was shoved against the lockers. I straightened up when I saw it was Nate, looking pissed off as he had Y/BF/N's shirt bundled in his fist.

"What the hell are you doing?!" I shouted, trying to shove him off, but he merely pushed me back.

"This isn't your business," he said to me before glaring at Y/BF/N, who was quiet with panic. "You. You've been hanging around my girlfriend and I don't like it."

The colour drained from Y/BF/N's face as Nate slammed his hand to the lockers beside his head, startling him.

"I want you to stay the fuck away from Wanda!" he ordered, and students were starting to pick up on the fight that was clearly about to break out. "You fucking hear me, you nerd? Stay the fuck away!"

Poor Y/BF/N nodded his head, eyes avoiding Nate's. Meanwhile, I was angrier than Nate probably was. Y/BF/N had done nothing wrong. Maybe Nate had just seen Wanda hanging with me and because Y/BF/N was always with me, assumed the worst. Either way, this was no way to handle the situation and I was not gonna let this dick threaten my friend.

"Get the fuck away from him, Nate," I said through gritted teeth, glaring a hole into the side of his head.

Nate barely glanced my way. "I told you this isn't your business, honey."

"Five seconds," I said, standing behind him as a crowd began to form. "You've got five seconds or I'm gonna kick you."

He seemed to ignore me as he tightened his grip on Y/BF/N's shirt, only pissing me off more.

"Five," I began to count down, the grip on my books tightening with nerves and anger. "Four."

He still didn't look my way, just kept slapping Y/BF/N's face to scare him.

"Three, two, one," I said quickly, tired of giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Without waiting anymore, I kicked him between the legs with full force, watching as he instantly let go of Y/BF/N and doubled over. Everybody began to laugh, some making 'ooh' noises, but the consensus was clear – it definitely sucked to be Nate right now.

I tried not to laugh as I watched his face scrunch with pain, turning red. I was starting to appreciate my choice of wearing my doc marten boots today.

"No more balls for the guy who keeps throwing them at my fucking head," I got out, jaw clenching.

He looked up, his face crossing with realisation as he recognised me. In response, he glared in my direction, but it didn't faze me.

"Come on, Y/BF/N," I said, looking to my startled friend. "Let's go."

"What on Earth is going on over here?!" a teacher's voice rang out in the distance, and I groaned internally.

When I turned to leave, I heard Nate from behind me, grunting with dissatisfaction.

"Fuckin' dyke," he mumbled under his breath, and I paused, clenching my fists.

"Y/N, don't–" Y/BF/N tried to stop me, but I was too pissed to care.

I spun around and punched Nate square in the face, feeling good as his smirking face scrunched in pain and his back hit the lockers from the impact.

"Woah!" a teacher came out of nowhere, shoving herself between us and pushing me away from him. "What the hell is going on here?!"

I shook my hand to ease the pain on my knuckles, though the pain couldn't stop the grin on my lips as Nate raised his hands to his face, holding his busted nose. Students were going crazy, egged on by the potential fight, and for once, I didn't mind the attention. Nate had that coming for a while now.

"Everybody back to class! Now!" the teacher yelled, glaring all around her, before her eyes settled on Nate and I. "You two. Nurse's office now."

Nate glared at me behind his bloody nose and, once again, I tried not to laugh. Y/BF/N patted my back, amazement written on his face, before letting me leave with the teacher and an unusually silent Nate.

—

Kicking Nate in the groin and punching him in the face wasn't something I did to get attention, yet that's exactly what happened. Word of the incident spread around the school quite quickly, so much in fact that even students from other grades became aware of the situation and were approaching me to tell me how awesome I was. The whole thing was definitely strange, but I could tolerate it.

What I couldn't tolerate was having Chemistry after lunch and wondering if Wanda knew.

Would she hate me for punching her boyfriend? I wasn't sure. I just knew that when she walked into class and sat next to me, I felt everyone's eyes subtly watching us as if waiting for her to explode at me.

I'd been given an ice pack for my bruised hand after my visit to the nurse's office earlier whilst Nate had been treated for his broken nose (the fact that I'd broken it was hilarious to me, since I knew I wasn't even that strong). The principal had a very angry yell at us both in his office, neither of us willing to reveal the premise of our fight, before giving us detention every day after school for two weeks straight as punishment. Of course, Nate got his two weeks at a different time to mine for fear I'd punch him again (he definitely didn't like that, but he couldn't exactly say that to to principal).

I didn't bother using the ice pack in Chemistry for fear Wanda may ask what was up. I successfully managed to hide my hand and as a second surprise of the day, Wanda mentioned nothing about the incident. Not one thing about her boyfriend, about Y/BF/N, about any of it. I thought she might hint at it, trying to get me to bring it up. But she didn't which made me think she actually had no idea it even happened. Had anyone told her? Had he told her? Nah, probably not. His fragile masculinity probably caused him to change the story to something else so he didn't look like a wimp in front of his girlfriend.

Whatever it was, I was safe for now.

Thinking I'd got away with a confrontation from Wanda, I went about the rest of my day as usual. Well, that was until I was replacing some books in my locker at the end of the day and saw Wanda at her locker behind me, arguing with– yep, you guessed it. Nate.

Y/BF/N was collecting some books from his own locker beside me and we both exchanged looks as we saw the two lovebirds in a heated argument. Just when we were about to leave, someone cleared their throat from behind us, making us turn around.

Wanda was stood there, backpack hanging from her shoulder, beside Nate, who looked like he would rather be anywhere else but here.

"Hi," he started quietly, making Wanda clear her throat. He glanced at her before looking to Y/BF/N. "Look, man, I'm really sorry about earlier. I was wrong about what I said. We cool?"

I tried not to laugh at the way Nate was being forced to apologise by his girlfriend. Y/BF/N glanced to me with questioning eyes, so I simply shrugged.

"I guess...," he finally answered Nate, still a little awkward.

Nate nodded before looking to me. He still had his reservations, judging from the twitch in his expression, but for Wanda's sake, he kept his cool.

"I'm sorry for treating you badly," he said reluctantly. "With the football and just generally."

God, it was so hard not to laugh in his face right now. His nose had gauze taped to it and it made him look like an idiot. I fake coughed to disguise my smile, before meeting his gaze.

"It's, er, cool," I said, not in the mood to be an arsehole to him, even though he deserved it. I'd punched him – I think we were equal for now.

He nodded, before staying quiet. Glancing to Wanda, he waited for her to say something. She rolled her eyes and nodded for him to leave. When he was gone, she sighed tiredly.

"I only heard about what happened after Chem class," she said, mainly to me, a guilty expression on her lips. "I'm so sorry he acted like a jerk."

I chewed my lip, unsure what to say.

"It's okay, Y/N here took care of it," Y/BF/N said, smiling with amusement at me. Okay, well now she definitely knew.

"Yeah, sorry you felt you had to do that," she said with a grimace. "I guess he deserved it though."

"Kind of," I agreed, before noticing the regretful frown on her lips. "He apologised though. It's already happened. I kinda broke his nose... No point in dwelling on it."

She smiled, though it didn't reach her eyes. "Yeah..." Her eyes fell to my bruised hand before lifting it gently. I winced at the ache, but let her hold it, studying the purple bruise painted across my knuckles. "That looks bad."

It felt good punching him though, but I wasn't about to say that since it was her boyfriend I was talking about.

"It's alright," I said dismissively, shrugging. "Nate kind of got it worse. I'll live."

The pad of her thumb stroked the bruise gently and I held my breath, the feeling of her hands holding mine sending shivers up my arm. Her eyes flickered to mine, softened with guilt, before she let go of my hand.

"I should head home," she said after a pause. "I'll see you both tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow," Y/BF/N said for both of us, sensing my loss of words.

Wanda held my gaze once more, eyes half lidded as they glanced down. Before I could even question what she was looking at, she waved goodbye and left.

"She's either starting to realise what a dick her boyfriend is or she's just really into you," Y/BF/N said, patting me on the back. "Maybe both, who knows?"

—

"You definitely cheated," I told Y/BF/N once we finished yet another round of air hockey. "Nobody wins six times in a row like that!"

He laughed at my expression. "Tell me, dear Y/N. How would I cheat? The concept of the game is simple, really. It's not my fault you're terrible."

I rolled my eyes lightheartedly. "Seventh time's the charm. C'mon."

He chuckled, about to put more money in the machine, before his eyes got distracted by something behind me. "Well, would you look at that. The Maximoff twins are here."

"Very funny," I said with a knowing look. "You can't throw me off like that. We've established I'm already terrible. Now c'mon. Let's go!"

"I wish I was joking," he said, shaking his head.

I scoffed, not believing him, and turned around to prove him wrong, but I was surprised when I saw Wanda and Pietro walking into the arcade we were in. They seemed to spot us instantly, waving in our direction before approaching us.

"Fancy seeing you here," Pietro teased with a smile as they stopped before us.

I cracked a smile as Y/BF/N joined my side. "We're hanging out. And you?"

Wrapping an arm around his sister's shoulder, he tugged Wanda close to him. "Sibling bonding time."

Wanda rolled her eyes at his childishness, but I could tell she found it endearing all the same.

"Well, if you want, you can hang with us," Y/BF/N offered, and we all looked to him, myself raising a brow his way. He seemed to sense my reluctance, it egging him on as he grinned at them. "Y/N doesn't mind. Do you, Y/N?"

I swallowed hard as I looked between the twins. "'Course not."

And that's how I found myself playing arcade games with the Maximoff twins that Saturday afternoon. It was actually pretty fun, with Pietro being as competitive as I was and Wanda being the sweetest loser with everything she played. It was so adorable, but I ended up letting her win some games of skee-ball just so I could see that cute nose scrunch of hers as she realised she'd won.

"You gonna let me win like that, too?" Pietro caught on as he took his sister's place in playing against me. He had a mischievous grin on his lips and I felt my mouth go dry at what he was implying.

"You wish," I said, playing it cool, though I wondered if he cared that I clearly let Wanda win. He wouldn't read into it, right?

Pietro took his go as he spoke. "So, I heard what happened with you and Nate at school last week."

I closed my eyes, cringing at the reminder. Pietro merely laughed.

"You kicked him super hard, right?" he asked excitedly. "I heard his face went so red with anger that you could fry an egg on it! And don't forget that punch, goddamn what I would pay to have seen that!"

"Pietro!" Wanda scolded from behind us as her and Y/BF/N played air hockey. "Don't be a tool!"

I felt my face heat up with embarrassment as Pietro continued to laugh. Y/BF/N joined in whilst Wanda tried to hide the smile dancing on her lips.

"You're not even together anymore," Pietro called to Wanda between laughter. Wait, did I hear that right?

"You and Nate broke up?" Y/BF/N asked with disbelief. "Our grade's 'it' couple broke up?"

Wanda ran a hand through her hair to distract from her flittering eyes. "He treated you horribly last week. Both of you." She glanced my way before looking at her shoes. "He was a jerk. It was long overdue... Also, I would have broken up with him there and then had I known what he'd said to you. I'm sorry he said what he did."

She stared at me with apologetic eyes and I wasn't sure what to say or do other than nod awkwardly and look away. The fact that she'd broken up with him put a smile on my face though.

"I just think it's awesome," Pietro admitted, before saluting playfully to me. "Thank you for your service. I knew you were awesome, but this is a whole new level."

I sighed, attempting to hide my smile, before straightening up to play. Pietro and I played some skee-ball before I decided to have a go at the claw machine. Wanda was at the one beside me, attempting to win herself a fluffy black cat plush toy. She'd had three goes before giving up, admitting to defeat.

"Typical Wanda," Pietro teased. "Giving up when the going gets tough."

She punched him in the arm, making him jump and rub it. That elicited a smile from her, making me laugh at their immaturity.

"How about Wanda and I go and get a table in the diner next door whilst you finish up winning whatever it is you're trying to win?" Y/BF/N asked, looking to me, as if assigning blame.

"I already told you, I'm not leaving this machine until I win at least one thing," I stated stubbornly.

"The amount of money you've put into the machine won't make up for whatever you win," Y/BF/N teased with amusement.

"Just go," I said, waving my hand dismissively. "I'll be there soon."

"I'll wait with her," Pietro said, resting a hand on my shoulder, making me shrug him off jokingly. "See you soon," he added with a laugh, to his sister and Y/BF/N.

When they left, I looked to Pietro with an amused smile. "I don't need you to look after me, y'know."

He shrugged and looked through the glass of the claw machine. "I know. But I stayed to give you some advice, princess."

"Oh, really? And what advice is that?" I asked, before putting some coins in the machine to have another go.

"People usually tend to win these things for people they like, right?" he asked, nodding to the plush toys in the machine.

"Or for themselves," I corrected with a curious smile. "Take Wanda for example. How badly did she want that cat?"

He crossed his arms, smiling with amusement. "You could win it for her, y'know."

"What?" I asked, half paying attention as I attempted to grab a teddy bear.

"Win the cat for my sister and give it to her?"

I ended up dropping the teddy from the claw as I looked to Pietro with shock. He laughed at my expression, leaning against the machine.

"You do like her, right? Otherwise this is awkward," he added as an afterthought, looking down and smiling to himself.

My jaw hung open. "I– er– I never really– I don't–"

"She must definitely like you," Pietro noted, glancing at me.

I licked my lips as I found my words. "Did she," I cleared my throat, "did she say something?"

"Well, no," he said, "but she looks like she wants to murder me every time I hang out with you."

"That's just a coincidence," I said, shaking my head and looking back to the machine. "She's not–" I thought about, before shaking my head again. "No."

I appreciated Pietro's help, but Wanda definitely didn't like me like that. She was just protective of her brother and friendly to me. It didn't mean anything.

"Look, you don't have to listen to me," he said, straightening up and looking at the machine as I slotted another coin in. "But you could give it a shot. See what happens."

I glanced at him, his blue eyes watching me knowingly, a matching smirk on his lips.

"Fine," I gave in, hoping it wouldn't backfire. "Let's see what happens..."

cute relationship things with ateez!

genre: fluff (a lot)

warnings: none :)

established relationship!

a/n: i meant to post this like two weeks ago but i never finished it so consider this an early valentine’s day gift <3 ;) 

seonghwa:

for some reason, i feel like seonghwa likes to read books

with that being said, on lazy days where you guys didn’t want to get up and do anything

you guys would read books !!!

before you guys would read some were recommendations from each other on your own

and then maybe rant to each other over little details about the book like how the main character went back to their toxic ex or how the ending of a book was so bad

“seonghwa, how did you even read this?!? the stupid ass main character keeps going back to that one jerk! like does she not realize she deserves more than his ugly ass???!!!?”

“y/n, just keep reading.” 

“but hwa-”

turns out the main character got with the other woman yayyyyy!!! fuck shitty men

i don’t know how it happened but you guys started your own little book club with each other

so you guys could finally talk rant together at the same time about the book

so since you guys started to read the same book and if you guys found down time together you would read together

like, imagine it’s a peaceful friday night

seonghwa is back from work and so are you

you guys already showered and ate dinner

you’re just reading and then seonghwa just scoops you up and then puts you in between his legs with your back against his chest

and you’re like “wtf bro?”

and he’s just like, “what? i wanna read too???”

“didn’t you like read ahead tho??”

“yeah, but i wanna read it again.”

that was a fatass lie

he just wanted to be close to you 

hongjoong:

ok so, we all know that this man is hella busy all the time

mans is the leader, song writer, producer, dancer, rapper (which is why he is good at all positions)

but you were patient with him and whenever he goes days without seeing you due to his busy ass schedule he would make it up to you yk what i mean

but on the more chill days when you saw hongjoong or even the days where he was cooped in his studio (you would visit him there because sometimes you just had to see him)

you guys would just lay on the couch, just enjoying each other’s presence and not feel like you have to make up for lost time

you would be on the bottom on your phone or reading a magazine/book

then hongjoong would be at the top with his head on your stomach as he would be writing down lyrics that came to mind

killing two birds with one stone you feel me

sometimes you would show him a funny meme that you found or quote something that you just read to him 

“hongjoong, look at the way he fell!” you would be dying of laughter

and then he wouldn’t notice because he was really roped into making lyrics 

but you also didn’t see him focusing so much because you were of course laughing at the kid that accidentally got bitchslapped off the couch because of their sibling

“joongie look!!!”

“what is it?”

you would then show him what happened and then he would look at with that “you really interrupted me for this??” type of look

“i just lost my train of thought for this song because you wanted to show me this kid falling off of a couch???” 

“yes?” 

he would just bring a hand to his face and think what tf? why tf? and then slowly start laughing because of what just happened

“see, wasn’t it funny?”

“a child getting hurt isn’t funny, y/n” he would laugh while scolding you

yunho:

yunho powers im sorry for this one

alright so, it’s night time 

you guys are about to go to bed after a long day or work/school whatever

your eyes are fluttering closed because the day got you beat beat

but then yunho just kisses your face

and then you open your eyes slowly again to see yunho look like he just got caught doing something he wasn’t supposed to do

like imagine a kid that just got caught drawing on the walls

that’s what his face would look like

he’s just laying there like “i thought you were asleep...”

“i was just about to...”

yunho feels lowkey guilty now because you’re awake now and he knows you had a long day

he just couldn’t resist kissing you 

you just looked so pretty and peaceful sleeping 

mans was reminded by the universe themself about how lucky he was being able to date you

like, godamn what did he do in his past life to deserve you?

ok, back to this reaction idea thing-

yunho would apologize for waking you up with his cheeks a nice rosy color

you just look at him with tired eyes 

“i’ll forgive you, if you give me more kisses.”

and yunho’s smile just lights up the whole damn room and he’s like oh? say less

so he goes to kissing your face

like all over

your nose

your cheeks

forehead

basically anywhere ok?

and you end up laughing because it tickles 

but you just want him to kiss your lips which he does 

... eventually lmao

but when he does your still laughing which causes him to laugh

he tells you “i love you, did you know that?”

and you get all flustered and shit but you still keep that playful energy around 

“i love you too, but you aren’t forgiven just yet”

which leads to more kisses :))))

yeosang:

ok so you’re now the busy one

yeosang has so much respect for you because holy shit how do you balance that busy ass schedule of yours

your homework loads were no jokes 

then to add to that you have a job which was even more stressful

it was amazing how you can manage all that and still keep a smile on your face

you also had major respect for yeosang as an idol

the industry was not a place to fuck around 

you couldn’t be happier that your boyfriend was lucky enough to have a group who actually cared and supported each other

speaking of ateez, yeosang isn’t the most touchy person in the world

you didn’t mind of course, you’re the same way

however, when he did give you cuddles and kisses you would be a blushing mess

a sort of rare sight that yeosang loved to see

anyways, one night you were busy writing those argumentative essays that you were sure that your fingers would fall off by the time you were finished

you were working on it ever since you got home from school (with the occasional food and bathroom breaks )to the time when yeosang came back from practice

you moved to your shared bed by the time the sweaty boy came home and he was surprised that you were working on one subject for so long

the stupid piece was almost finished by the time yeosang was out of the shower

however, you didn’t even notice

you were too immersed in your writing to notice

yeosang took this as an opportunity to sit behind you and wrap his arms around your waist and watch over your shoulder as you worked

and of course, he would kiss your cheek occasionally

this was super sweet gesture but yeosang but you didn’t the notice that he wrapped his arms around you

“ai yah! what the hell?” you yelled and turned around to see your boyfriend clutching his chest

“oh it’s just you.”

yeosang would give you a deadpanned look and be like, “yeah, who else tf???”

you would apologize and kissing his cheek before returning to back to work 

which yeosang would return to hugging your waist and keep his head on your shoulder

and give you occasional kisses on your cheek or neck

after that night, it became a weekly occurrence

which you loved of course, who wouldn’t love their bf cuddling them while they chased their bag

san:

i am very excited for this one

ok so, san loves playing with your hair

it’s just so much fun 

running his fingers through it or just attempting to braid it or put it into a tiny ponytail

he loved it

he would probably always play with your while you were watching tv together, sitting together in the car, or even before you guys fall asleep

then one day after san came home early from work 

you guys were chilling on the bed watching the latest k-drama that came out since san made you wait so you guys could watch it together

san was in between your legs with his back leaning against your chest 

and that’s when you decided to run your fingers through his soft, fluffy hair

that’s also when san asked you to braid his hair

“sure, what type of braid though?”

“there’s different kinds????” 

“yes, san. now pick one.” you gave him your phone that was pulled up to different types braids.

“i want the french ones. they sound fancy.”

you roll your eyes and start sectioning his hair into two sections and start braiding his hair and lightly pull on the pink strands because you know san likes his hair pulled

so you doing his hair right 

and you begin rambling about your day/week

talking about whatever interesting happened to you because you know that san likes hearing you talk no matter what it’s about

however, you were knee deep into talking about the latest drama at work that you didn’t even realize that san stopped talking

“san?”

he didn’t answer and his head would be dipping down so low you were surprised you didn’t fall over

“baby?”

san still wouldn’t respond to you 

but this time he just flipped over so his head would be on your stomach as he wrapped your arms around your stomach

“mmmmmmm?”

“nevermind love, just sleep.” 

he would respond by burying his head further into your stomach and tightened his hold around you

you kissed his head and ran your fingers through his hair which lulled san to sleep even more

“goodnight sannie.”

mingi:

you have been best friends with song mingi ever since you moved into the tiny neighborhood that you call home

it all started when your parents brought you over to your next door neighbor’s house for breakfast on a cold saturday morning 

you were extremely shy when you were little so the only thing you could remember about your first experience with mingi was hiding behind your mother’s leg for the first hour of being there and watching the young boy play with his toy cars and planes before he finally offered a pirate ship to you

ever since that unforgettable saturday, you pretty much spent the rest of your childhood with mingi

you guys were practically joined at the hip 

even when you were getting endlessly teased by your classmates for the first month of school for having an accent whenever you spoke 

which resulted in you running to the bathroom crying

not even a minute later, you heard someone burst through the girls’ bathrrom

“y/n?”

you peaked your head out of the stall to see your tall neighbor looking out of breath

“mingi, you aren’t supposed to be here!” you said in between sobs

“it’s okay, i don’t care.” he said as he awkwardly wrapped his arms around you. “are you okay?”

you shook your head no looking at him with tears running down your face

the poor boy was internally freaking out since he has no clue on how to comfort people (especially if they’re a girl)

he was like eight at the time give him a little break

so of course, his first reaction was to make you laugh somehow

and he did this by randomly recreating the “boots and cats, boots and cats” rhythm after seeing siri do it in a youtube video and started to bop his head 

surprised by his sudden movements, you laughed out of pure confusion

as soon as mingi saw the corner of your lips flip upwards he began rapping faster to the point where he was gasping for breath leading him into a coughing fit 

“mingi you can breathe, y’know!” you giggled in between words

after the young boy had caught his breath from hacking away at his lungs, he smiled at you 

until- the teacher had came into the bathroom, scolding mingi for going into the girls’ restroom

even though mingi didn’t care at all that he got in trouble, the only thing he cared about was that you were feeling better

ever since then whenever you were sad or having a bad day mingi would whip out his phone and ask siri to rap while he free-styled over the monotone voice 

he literally still does it

even two years into your relationship-

“siri, can you rap for me?” mingi would ask his phone as he pointed his free arm at you

“boots and cats-”

“mingi, please no.” you laughed in between tears, your mood rising with every beat

wooyoung:

i wholeheartedly believe that wooyoung would kiss you face if you were sad

but the first time this happened, you guys were still fairly new into your relationship

which meant that you weren’t completely ready to be extremely vulnerable around wooyoung 

because in your mind, letting someone see you at your lowest lows of means that you really trust and love someone to let them see you like that

you always wanted to be known as the strong person in the friend group

you were that glue that held everyone together

always listening to others and taking care of others before yourself

which is why wooyoung fell in love with you in the first place

he had never been in a relationship where someone was so caring and thoughtful of others that he was scared that he wouldn’t be enough for you and that you deserved better

of course, he didn’t tell you that right away but he confessed to you about that wayyy later in your relationship which is another story to be told

but one day, life was coming at you so fucking fast

assignments were piling up left and right and deadlines were literally every other day

and then there seemed to be an increase in the amount of angry karens at your work

and your patience was thinning everyday with those people

then to top it all off, all the tests you’ve been studying for, you got mediocre grades, some even worse in other subjects

it just felt like no matter how much work you put into whatever you do, you got half ass results

it was just pushing your mental health further into the ground

you could handle a C every once in awhile but multiple? on back to back tests? no fucking way you just couldn’t

those stupid, dark thoughts would cloud your mind in an instant and on days like this, you would just let them consume you

you were too tired to pick yourself up again and fight back which led to you crying in wooyoung’s arms

usually, you would feel so embarrassed crying over things like this when you know other people have it worse but you couldn’t hold in it anymore 

you ranted about yourself in between your hiccups from crying which would hurt wooyoung’s heart a little bit

because he thought of you as such a strong and kind person- the complete opposite of what you were saying about yourself

so when you were done talking, wooyoung made you look at him and assured you that you were not any of those nasty things that you said about yourself

each insult turned into a thoughtful compliment accompanied by a kiss

“y/n, you are so intelligent-” 

kiss

“caring-”

kiss

“beautiful-”

kiss

“more than everything i ever wanted”

kiss

by the time wooyoung was done, you were a giggling mess

“and this is why i love you.”

he finally kissed you on your lips, smiling into it like the dork he is

it was the first ever time he told you that he loved you

jongho:

i am also a firm believer that jongho would sing his s/o to sleep

like with that heavenly voice of his, he better put them to sleep 

so on the first night you ever slept with jongho, you were too nervous to go to bed even though your body was screaming at you to close your eyes 

you kept tossing and turning every few minutes or your eyes would shoot open with your heart racing

at this point, you gave up on trying to sleep and got up (carefully to not wake up your sleeping boyfriend) to get a drink

while you were in the kitchen, clutching your chest in an effort to get yourself to calm down, jongho had stirred awake to an empty bed

a flash of panic surged through his body as he momentarily forgot where he was since he wasn’t at his dorm his room never looked this clean 

yawning, the vocalist would wander into the light with his eyes squinted, “y/n?”

“oh my god!” you jumped, water almost spilling out your glass

jongho covered his ears, “what are you doing up?”

“oh,” you felt your cheeks turn red since you felt bad for waking your boyfriend up. “i can’t sleep.”

“why?” he asked, walking towards the couch.

“i don’t know.” you answered as you followed close behind. 

you curled up next to jongho, clutching his shirt “i’m sorry for waking you up.”

jongho smiled tiredly at you before kissing your head, “don’t be. it’s okay. i don’t have work tomorrow anyways.”

you smiled in response before the two of you guys fell into a silence

“do you want me to sing you to sleep?”

“yes, please.” you murmured into his side as jongho placed his other arm around you, successfully trapping you in between his arms

he began singing softly into your ear as he stroked your hair

his warm voice coaxing your eyes to close 

at last, your mind was at peace with itself

your heart beat slowing down

and by the time the song was finished you were fast asleep in arms

jongho kissed your forehead once more 

“i love you.”

dating an s/o that loves plants

i wanted a bf that’ll indulge my plant obsession, and then this happened- enjoy~!

midoriya izuku

⟢ boy will catalog every single plant you have, just for you.

⟢ watering schedule? in the notebook. growth tracker? in the notebook. the cuttings’ propagation progress? in the damn notebook.

⟢ he’s going to need a shelf for these notebooks once he’s through.

⟢ he has a little pilea cutting you gave him sitting in a pot on his desk.

⟢ that thing is thriving, he treats that plant almost as good as he treats you.

⟢ you named it small might.

⟢ expect a lot of researching whenever you two go to the local plant nursery. the couple running it know you two by name now.

⟢ “y/n did you know-” “y/n look at this!” “y/n how would this look in your room?”

⟢ like a kid in a candy store.

⟢ enables your plant purchases so so much. don’t have space? he comes up with a new way to organize your plants so you can have space.

⟢ you almost burst out laughing when you see him intently taking notes on a moss ball, completely unaware of how alike the two of them look.

⟢ that picture’s your phone wallpaper now and there’s nothing he can do to change it.

⟢ this sweet boy just wants to get closer to you through your interests (and it worked).

bakugou katsuki

⟢ calls it dumb, but secretly takes care of the red prayer plant you gave him.

⟢ somehow knows more than you do???

⟢ he’s the one reminding you of your watering schedules, or when your propagations are ready to be potted.

⟢ “oi, y/n, do you want this thing to die or what?” “why does it look like shit? give it to me, i’ll do it myself.” “the roots are going to fucking rot if you leave it there for too long.”

⟢ his parents are designers, so his sense of aesthetic ended up being inherited too. he’s suddenly picking out plants for your space that you would’ve never considered, and they look amazing when you bring them home.

⟢ you ask him to hold a particularly fuzzy cactus for you, only to notice that it looks hilariously similar to your boyfriend’s own spiky hair, and now you won’t let him live it down.

⟢ baby blasty now has a permanent spot on your table, much to his chagrin.

⟢ any plant that you don’t want to get rid of but don’t have room for (or it’s doing terribly under your care) ends up finding a home in bakugou’s room.

⟢ the things are almost as finicky as him, no wonder they do so well when he takes care of them.

⟢ he’ll never admit it, but he sees why people like taking care of plants so much.

⟢ everyone notices he’s a little calmer, but will never mention it to his face.

⟢ oh he’ll rub the fact that he’s better at taking care of plants in your face any day though.

⟢ at the end of the day, he just silently supports you and your obsession hobby and makes sure the plants stay alive, because no way in hell is he letting a plant die under his watch.

kirishima eijirou

⟢ any plant that falls under his care doesn’t do well, so he just listens to you whenever you talk about plants and helps you where he can. the sweet boy just wants to support you doing what you love.

⟢ you need to move a heavy pot? he’s your man! rearranging plants? he’s got it!

⟢ he knows he doesn’t have a green thumb, so just buys you planters he thinks you’d like instead.

⟢ basically the reason your room looks like a jungle in the first place.

⟢ “babe i got you something!!” “oh my god kiri.”

⟢ you could never tell him no though.

⟢ he looks so happy when he sees them in use around your space, and who are you to ruin that?

⟢ trips to the nursery are a common occurrence since you have to buy plants to put in the pots he keeps getting you. why let his thoughtful gifts go to waste??

⟢ it just gives you an excuse to get more plants.

⟢ eventually you give him a pothos since they’re so damn hard to kill.

⟢ he takes care of that thing like his life depends on it, and it’s actually??? doing pretty okay???

⟢ you both unironically call it survivor because it’s a miracle that it’s lasted this long.

⟢ get you a man that gets you planters so you have a reason to buy more plants.

kaminari denki

⟢ look the only experience he’s had with plants is a 7th grade biology science project that he got a low C on.

⟢ but if his baby loves plants, he’s gonna love ‘em too!!

⟢ tries super hard to learn as much as he can and listen to you.

⟢ actually doesn’t do too bad with plants?

⟢ kind of a scatterbrain though, so you’re going to have to remind him every now and then.

⟢ always asking questions. are they slightly airheaded? yes. you don’t mind answering every single one though.

⟢ no, denki, venus flytraps can’t eat people.

⟢ doesn’t really trust himself enough to take care of anything by himself for a while.

⟢ he has to admit, all the plants in your room look so cool that he ends up wanting one anyway.

⟢ since the both of you are cheesy fucks, you gave him a string of hearts once he was ready.

⟢ you wouldn’t let him name it after you though, so pikachu’s currently vibing in its hanging pot right next to his window.

⟢ “you stole my heart, so have some more.” “b-babe,,,”

⟢ be still his beating heart.

[thepumpkinthingart]

You seem like the best source to ask. What are good/ your favtotie Msummers fics?

Bold of you too assume I have good taste-

But ah-I am a frequent digger through the Mcsummers/Halex. Starved for content, pleading for angst, fluff, and just- Alex being a good bf to beasty. I got quite a few. I’ll break this up sfw or nsfw and shall tag the author if they have a tumblr! Please, Please, PLEASE go support the authors and look into their other content. <3

For the sake of clarity I am gonna keep this to Mcsummers focused fics. There is plenty more I enjoy that have Mcsummers and Cherik, or Scott/Logan, etc. If you need more to read feel free to private message me, I am happy to link you to some of these as well.

SFW

“Black Coffee on Fabric” by @crystallized-iron

This one is a short read but it’s super adorable. Poor Hank a bundle of nerves who just wants to cute blond coffee shop worker and just- doesn’t quite stick the landing

“Supersonic” by @silverxsakura

My heart, my weak little heart. Disgustingly sappy fluffy and it’s wonderful. In summary without giving too much away- Alex is dumb like always and has a hard time dealing with his feelings for Hank so like the himbo one we all know- bullies him.

“Animal Transformation” by @eleonorebirk

Short but absolutely adorable. Alex is transformed temporarily into a cat- and his affections from a certain bozo are hard to hide when you happily want to be pet by the guy.

“You left us behind” by @parkshan820

Can I just say parkshan does a lot of amazing Mcsummers work? Seriously at some point I will go down the list and put as many as I can in here. This is a angsty as hell slow burn and it’s the best kind of torture. Also I like to personally thank parkshan for a Alpha/Beta/Omega Mcsummers. A/b/o dynamics written well is one of my favorite things and I think this may be the only Mcsummers one- if not someone link me PLZ. I just- I don’t want to spoil anything, go read it and then cry with me.

“The Magnificent McCoy” by @ag3nt-a

Once again someone else that does a lot of amazing Mcsummers work! Again will have to work down the list and put in some more. All the science puns omg, I love Alex is just as a dorky as Hank and it’s great. Also anything that touches on the fact Alex having some of that intelligence from the comics and the geophysics is perfect.

“Breathe” by @ag3nt-a

Hey look it’s my request! Has it really been 3 years? Weird to think I wasn’t even a adult then. Now I pay taxes and stress over bills. I had a old tumblr by the name of zombiemutt-trash-center, It was a mess and now I am here. 3 years later- doing the same bullshit. ANYWAYS, I do really love this fic. Alex having to calm Hank down and be sweet is always great, but Hank having to help Alex deal with PTSD is perfect. Based on how Alex lost his parents in the comics.

NSFW

“Fighting Acceptance” By @heeroluva

Let me tell you this a fic I constantly go back too. I am a sap for Alex being a caring and supportive bf, but of course still a teasing jerk. All in the name of love. Heeroluva writes that dynamic really nicely, Alex doing his best to be supportive and trying to get Hank to realize he isn’t any different as the Beast. But also is impulsive and well a dumbass. Also of course it’s nsfw and spicy as hell. 10/10 would recommend.

“Who knew books could be hot?” By @ag3nt-a

Just Hank and Alex are horny dorks, who need better guidance in figuring out their feelings. Also Hank is also now a fanfic writer and it just made me want to read fanfics written by a Hank McCoy. Also- it’s really cute seeing Alex being apologetic not just cause attraction, but because he genuinely felt bad. Spice is nice- but like sappy “I’m sorry I was a asshole to you” is god tier—- and then spice later.

“Taste of What Could Have Been” by @atomicrebelomega

Also won’t be the first time you see Atomicrebeloomega! Also-, man fuck apocalypse. So my favorite Alex summers is apocalypse Alex. Aka Suburban Dad Alex summers- I love Alex from first class obviously. But worn out Alex who has calmed on the temper bit and more of a teasing asshole with a stupid grin. So any content with older Alex is much appreciated from me. Alex being the same dumbass at 31 as he was at 16 about his feelings is great. Warning this ends with the apocalypse ending.

“Flicker” by @trojieface

This one is a Apocalypse fix-it. One again grown ass Alex still dumb when it comes to feelings and it’s still great. This is more a nsfw without plot but teeth edition.

“Friendly fire still burns” by 1001cranes

This is a high school/modern Au, Where Hank is president of the NHS and Alex is the football captain. Angst, Fluff and smutt ensue, and it’s great.

“Grooming” by Wangler

So- the idea of Alex helping Hank brush out his fur after he takes a shower is adorable and precious and definitely a head cannon I hold to my heart. I mean- It’s not meant to be adorable in this fic, but leave it to me to make fluff. Also let it be known I enjoy more animalistic Hank, growls, teeth, claws, instincts and all. Alex is a furry what can I say. This one fills my need on those tendencies.

“The Side Project” By @bellsyblue

A more playfully teasing Alex and a Hank who is terrified to break him in half. Once again I love fics that play into more of Hank’s beast mutations like his strength and Alex being more then happy to take all that comes with that.

“Sweater Weather” by emperors_girl

Omg It’s so cheesy and adorable, and I love big brother Alex to Scott. Omg Alex collecting the fur and first thought was “dam this be a nice sweater” is great. Stupid cute and Hank is so done by the end of this.

“Matched” by @ag3nt-a

Big brother Alex and suburban dad looking fool with a stupid grin and awful sappy flirting? Yes please- My favorite kind of dumbass level. A getting together story about two dumb mutants meeting online. Also supportive friend Raven is best Raven. This does have Mpreg and fan kids in it, I personally enjoy these things but I know not everyone does. But as someone who has my own dumb Mcsummers children, I love to see it.

“Power of Persuasion” By @atomicrebelomega

Alex and Angel are friends and it’s great. Basically pure smut but we love to see it. Also Alex has the confidence to wear a stripper outfit and once again- it’s great.

I think this is a good starting point! Honestly I threw this together from my AO3 bookmarks- There is so many more I want to put in here. Ugh, so many good authors. I like writing, but it’s not my strong point. I enjoy drawing these nerds a lot more anyways. But I do have prompts for god dam days if anyone wants them. My free time is spent wondering all the shenanigans these dorks could get into.

If there is a author I didn’t tag but you know they have a account please message me!! I want to link back to the authors, they deserve credit.

Title: Been Here All Along

Author: Sandy Hall

Genre: YA Fiction | Romance | Friendship | Drama | LGBTQ+

Content Warnings: (Brief) Homophobia

Overall Rating: 9.1/10

Personal Opinion: Let’s be real, you can’t go wrong with childhood best friends to lovers. The chemistry is practically built in and this particular book is so sweet. Like, tooth-achingly sweet. You’ll fall in love with Gideon and Kyle falling in love with each other. Even if it took them years to realize they’re attracted to each other.

Couple Classification: Gideon Berko X Kyle Kaminsky = Nerd X Nerd/Jock

Do I Own This Book? No.

Spoilers Below For My Likes & Dislikes:

Likes:

- It’s very sweet. Like almost tooth-achingly sweet. It’s very swoon-worthy too because I can see why these two love each other so much. Best friends to lovers might actually be my favorite trope of all time because I really don’t think you can go wrong. Their chemistry is just on display 24/7 and it’s super cute. Plus, they also have size difference too and a modern nerd-jock dynamic. As opposed to the classic nerd-jock dynamic where the jock is a bully.

- The Truth or Dare part was so good. The fact that Kyle’s dare was “Kiss the person you want to kiss most in the room” and it wasn’t his girlfriend but his presumed straight best friend. And then Gideon chose truth and came out to them all and Kyle suddenly realized he had a chance. That he hadn’t imagined that moment they’d shared on Gideon’s birthday. And then Kyle fucking gave Gideon the dare (written on paper) and I was just so giddy and gushy over it!

- Ruby is a bit of an enigma but I’m glad, when Lilah sent that mass text, she decided to fix the problem immediately. She found the binder, made sure Kyle read through it, and also apologized for every wrong she had committed. She also dumped her old friends and sat with Gideon every day to make sure he wasn’t alone when the rest of the school was basically shunning him. I respect her. I also respect that she refused to tolerate Josh calling her ex-boyfriend and her ex’s new bf pansies without hesitation. I do think she’s a good person and I’m honestly proud of her.

- Everything about the Berkos is amazing. They’re such a good and affectionate family. Not only is Ezra such a great and supportive big brother but the fact that Gideon gave him that welcome home hug made me so mushy inside because it shows how close they are. Like even if Ezra found his brother annoying sometimes, he really did look out for him. He was a protector of Gideon’s secrets and he also encouraged his little brother to go after things he wanted. He’s a good guy. Even though he’s sort of, kind of dating his little brother’s boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend. It’d be so funny for Gideon if Ruby became his sister-in-law though. And then there are, of course, his parents who don’t care that he’s gay and think he’s a good fit with Kyle.

- I love that both Gideon and Kyle made lists about all the things they love about each other. It’s so sweet and I love it so much because it shows us just how tight their bond is. And how important it is.

- The extras at the end of the book are hilarious too. I mean, Gideon really thought there was a member of 1D named Larry when that’s actually just the Louis and Harry ship name while Gideon was offended that Kyle found Harry Styles attractive at all.

- Their first date was watching The Lion King in the park and since that’s my all-time favorite Disney movie, I love it. They get bonus points from me for that.

- Buster! I love him. He’s so damn secure in his sexuality. He’s a dudebro and a jock and yet he’s one of Kyle’s other best friends and is super supportive of him and cares about him and is just such a chill and insightful dude.

Dislikes:

- Ruby, girl. You are self-centered and mildly daft. I respect you in the end overall but the way you made Kyle’s coming out about you was just wrong. And then how you had the urge to basically ruin Gideon’s life because he has everything you want. That’s not his fucking fault! But anyway, I digress. I still respect you.

- Gideon, boy, you are mildly judgmental of people and that rubs me off the wrong way. But more importantly, why did he just never consider that he was on the ace spectrum? Demisexual, hello! It would make sense why he finds Kyle attractive and no one else. Also, his mom said she was worried he’d be alone? The fuck! You don’t need to be in a romantic relationship ever to not be alone your whole life. Friends are important too, damn it.

- Speaking of which, I do not like how Gideon’s friends essentially abandoned him after the list fiasco without even giving him a chance to explain himself. Then again, he never responded to his friends’ texts but still. At least they eventually came back and I can assume, with Gideon and Kyle being back together, that the rest of the school realized  the list was a misunderstanding. Also I feel like Lilah should get some sort of consequence for doing that to begin with? Ruby’s right, it was none of their fucking business to begin with. And she even told Lilah not to do a damn thing and she still did it!

ALL OF THE SHIP ASKS FOR GREASED LIGHTNING

HIT ME LOFE

PRE-RELATIONSHIP

How did they first meet? At the championship race lmaoo

What was their first impression of each other? When Electra first entered, Greaseball was pissed at his arrogance, flashiness, and cockyness, but also extremely attracted to his gracefulness and beauty (tho he didn't know it at first and just mistook it for anger lmao) Electra was attracted to GB from the start, but pissed when he challenged him and took his components. But he tried to flirt and tease for the rest of the race, with little success

Did any of their friends or family want them to get together? Not really lmao The components think little of Greaseball and mostly think he's dumb and wasted energy. But they support Electra nonetheless, naturally. Dinah is very keen on getting them together tho, GB's apparent change and slow but steady growth a clear sign that his thing with Electra is good.

Who felt romantic feelings first? Greaseball. He's dealt with love and relationships before, and despite him being a bit of a "skirtchaser", he wears his heart on his sleeve. He falls fast and hard, even if he doesn't want to admit it

Did either of them try to resist their feelings? Eh, yeeeaaaah Very hard lmao. They're just having a fun no-strings-attached sort of thing 🙃 They're just sleeping together, they're just blowing off steam, what are you talking about. Feelings are hard, feelings lead to hurt

If you had told one of them that the other would be their soulmate, what would they think? They would both laugh and think it hilarious. Electra would never steep so low as a Diesel, wtf. Greaseball would perhaps be more...annoyed, in a macho-man sort of way. He only likes girls, after all, he's a MAN™

What would their lives be like if they had never met? Oh, wow hmmm If they'd never met, I believe both would go on like they did before the Race. More arrogant and selfish, and GB prob wouldn't have lost the race, but then again who knows? So he'd still be a bit of a bully, and Electra would still be spoiled (more spoiled) and look down on other's

GENERAL

Who initiated the relationship, and how did it go? Dinah did, she made it so that they *had* to confess, she put them in a tight spot, so to speak lmao You'll just have to wait and see....

Did they have an official first date? If so, what was it like? They will! And it will go very well, and be very sweet 😌

What was their first kiss like? Well.... Chaotic, just after the crash, Electra reached over and pulled GB in. He wanted to tease but he was also completely done with this shit and wanted to show his interest. GB doesn't remember much, but he remembers the kiss and that he liked it very much

Were they each other’s first anything (kiss, relationship, etc.)? Not really, except that this is Electra's first relationship, but everything else they've both done tons of times before lol

What’s their height difference? Age difference? There's 4 inches between them (10 cm), Electra is 6,4-6,5 and GB is 6,1 And while ages aren't realllllly a firm concept in the trainworld, if they were human, Electra is 26 years old, and Greaseball is 34, so 8 years between them

What’s their relationship with each other’s families? Ehm, well Purse and Joule is super thirsty for GB and gets along great with him. Volta doesn't really care for him, Wrench despises him and Krupp is just tired lol. They have a quiet understanding tho of staying away from each other Electra gets along great with Dinah, if she counts lmao. They're a little stiff around each other at first, but then forms a very sweet friendship. He doesn't care much for Tank, Gear and Lube. They exist and are dumb.

Who takes the lead in social situations? Well, that depends on situation. Electra is very talented at being social. But actually rather hates it if it's not from a distance. He thrives in attention, but isn't that talented with smalltalk or just being generally pleasant. Greaseball is a leader and charismatic, so he's very much a presence that people want to be in and talk in.

Who gets jealous easier? Both. But maybe Greaseball a liiiiiittle more

Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear? That depends. If it's out in public, Electra likes to tease him. If it's in the bedroom, GB's got a filthy mouth.

LOVE

Who said “I love you” first? Greaseball, he's more vocal

What are their primary love languages? Touch, cuddling, kisses, stroking the cheek and fondling the ass lmao

Who uses cheesy pick-up lines? Greaseball shdsgfdgssgf Electra just rolls his eyes but secretly enjoys it

How often do they cuddle/engage in PDA? So often, they can't keep their hands or mouths away from each other. As soon as they get together officially, they make everyone gag around them lol

Who initiates kisses? Both, they like to kiss a lot 😌

Who’s the big and little spoon? Greaseball is always the big spoon, and Electra loves to be embraced, so little spoon all the time

What are their favorite things to do together? Fuck each other Explore, go on excursions, sunbathe, and cuddle

Who’s better at comforting the other? Greaseball is better at that, he's had more experience, while Electra often is the one that's been comforted for his whole life lol, so he's very awkward

Who’s more protective? Greaseball, he must protect his delicate Racer bf hngggg But Electra likes to zap whoever messes with GB

Do they prefer verbal or physical affection? Physical, they're both very awkward with their words lmaoo

What are some songs that apply to their relationship, in-universe or otherwise? Oh wow, ehm...i have a whole playlist but here are some right at the forefront of my mind lol Never or Right Now by ELFL Man to Man by Dorian Electra Still Don't Know My Name by Labrinth So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings by Caroline Polachek

What kind of nicknames do they call each other? So many.... Greaseball calls Electra "Darlin', baby, Lexi, Lex, Ellie, honey, my girl, my fella, pretty thing, brat" Electra calls GB "G, baby, handsome, big guy, my man, honey, lump, brute"

Who remembers the little things? Electra, he's very meticulous lmao

DOMESTIC LIFE

If they get married, who proposes? Marriage is a human thing, and even if railfolk do get like...officially coupled to each other, i'm not sure they would. Plus that Racers aren't allowed to like, enter civil partnerships with other engines or carriages. But GB would propose if they could

What’s the wedding like? Who attends? Grand, everyone is is invited.

How many kids do they have, if any? What are they like? No kids, ew

Do they have any pets? Nope lol, GB would be a dogperson but animals make Electra uncomfortable

Who’s the stricter parent? Again, no kids, ew lmao

Who worries the most? Electra, he has a diagnosed anxiety disorder gdgsfgdfsdfd

Who kills the bugs in the house? GB, he attacc, he protecc

How do they celebrate holidays? Parties, but often smaller ones, just closest friends and the components

Who’s more likely to convince the other to come back to sleep in the morning? Electra lmao. He tries everytime Greaseball has to go to work in the yard. He's never succeeded because GB is actually a very good and hard worker, but damn if he hasn't gotten close some times

Who’s the better cook? They don't really eat, but if they did, GB would. He's picked up some things from Dinah lmao

Who likes to dance? Both, but Electra loves to go clubbin' so I guess Electra more? But they very much enjoy to dance together Thank you looooooofe <3333

[tommydoesntpayforsuits]

okay so i have returned to desperately ask for some advice because i'm dying over here

So I've been pretty open about having a problem with anxiety attacks, I don't know if you know that but I thought I should mention it. It was really really bad from May to August of this year, but for the most part it died down since school started.

However, I've had 4 in the last week and a half, which is a lot considering I used to have none for a good month. They're all happening because I'm super fucking insecure and this masochistic voice in my brain occasionally takes over and it makes me panic and then I lose all sense of control.

I'm just constantly scared that the people I love and care about think of me as a burden because I'm not perfect and they can see that. And it's a double edged sword because the more I care about someone, the more insecure they make me feel about myself. The more time I spend with people I love, the closer I get to another anxiety attack

I'm trying really hard to deal with this, but I literally do not understand how. My friends and bf have told me to tell them when something happens so that they can help me, but I'm scared that it makes me dependent on them for everything, so naturally I don't tell them every time. I still tell them after it happens so that they know why I'm being overly quiet. Plus I feel like if I tell them every time that it's going to get annoying, so I'm trying to avoid that.

I've made some sort of progress I guess?? Like I know what to tell myself to avoid getting an anxiety attack now, and I have a place at school that I can go to and be alone while dealing with one. My teachers know and I know they will help me if I need it. Joseph has been so sweet about it that it pisses me off lmao. My best friend has literally been there through it all, and she's still here somehow. She's a fucking godsend, she's done everything for me and I fucking love her to bits. I have a good support system, plus I have myself so I'll probably be okay-ish

Don't freak out btw, I'm fine, I'll be okay, and I'm not going to k*ll myself. I'm just kinda seeing what other people think I should do so that I can make more of an informed decision

Also I love you, thank you so much for putting up with my constant pleas for advice lmao

Yeah, you mentioned you have anxiety, I didn't know it was so severe though! Did it have anything to do with exams, as it was from May to August? Just a guess. I know there is no clear-cut reason for anxiety, I think that's kind of a staple of anxiety at this point, but I'll ask anyway: is there any particular reason you developed anxiety (like a lot of people develop it from fear of something or someone)? Alternatively, do you know what the core fear of your anxiety is No and I don't know are answers. If you don't want to tell me, that's okay too, as long as you know you can.

I'm not the expert in any way, I'd just like to put out. All this information is coming from my own experience. I've always had anxiety from my parents putting too much pressure on me to succeed in school, until eventually they didn't have to pressure me anymore because I was doing it myself. But, saying that, I feel having bouts of being okay and then everything hitting at once is very common in anxiety. What is that masochistic voice saying, if it's saying anything at all? What does it tell you?

I understand that fear. And I know it might be hard, but try to ground yourself with the logic that this is your anxiety speaking, that these are not rational thoughts. Really, the only thing that kept me sane was 'logic', and I was three breaths away at all times of having a panic attack. Like "I feel like no one really loves me, but logically I know that's not true." Anxiety and emotions are extremely illogical, and feeds off the confusion and fear that comes with. Logic helps.

Well, one, perfection is literally not real. I know this might be falling on deaf ears, but it isn't. No one is perfect, perfection is perception (is that a real catchphrase or did I make that up? I'm a poet) and it's literally made up. Just. Perfection isn't real, so if you can, let that thought drift away. I know being around your loved ones is making you anxious, but when you're anxious is when you need them the most. It's your brain telling you to run away as a survival response.

I know you're trying, my love, I can sense that. And I understand it feels annoying when they dote on you, but it's because they care about you. But even though it's a nice gesture for Joseph and your friends to tell you to rely on them, there's not much 17 year olds can do. Being afraid of dependencies is normal, because it links with the whole feeling like a burden thing. And, Nasha, my love, you're suffering at the moment. You're not annoying, you're struggling. If your loved one was going through something hard, would you think they were annoying for being affected? Obviously not, I hope. Again, remember: logic. Ground yourself with logic.

Okay, it's good you've registered what your triggers are, that will become more helpful than not in the future. Having some refuge and a support system is also extremely helpful, especially in a place that can feel unsafe like school.

Joseph is probably very worried and doesn't know how to help. And you probably can't handle worrying about him on top of everything else. I understand that you might find it annoying because you feel vulnerable, in a very different way than you would usually assosciate with him. You know, it's different being voluntarily vulnerable, because you're telling the other person you trust them. But being vulnerable against your own will makes you feel weak. So, I would suggest you sit him down and tell him that you appreciate his concern and his attentiveness, but right now you need normal, and he needs to act normally. I'm not sure exactly how he's acting, but I'm imagining he's treating you like you're made of glass, but idk I'm not there.

My advice: tell your mother about how you feel (if she knows already, tell her about this particular bout of anxiety). If you don't want to tell your mother, tell the school counsellor/one of the teachers you mentioned. You don't have to suffer it alone. I've had to do that and I felt like I was suffocating All. The. Time. And it left me drained. From then, you need to seek medical help. Because anxiety is crushing, and it can lead to dangerous things, especially if you are put under more pressure on top of it (like, say, exam season). Prevention is always better and easier than resolution; don't let the damage be done.

No, don't worry, I understand. You can have anxiety without being suicidal, even though they come hand in hand. What you have to understand, your anxiety is quite severe, so it can develop to make you suicidal. Which is an issue. But for now, we're in the orange zone, yeah?

And let's establish this right now: I'm not putting up with anything. Your presence isn't something I have to tolerate. You aren't a burden to me or others. You probably won't believe me because that's the nature of anxiety, but I thought I should say anyway.

Lmk if I misunderstood anything. I'm usually better at understanding things, but I'm half asleep.

[angeltrapz]

u mentioned them in th ask abt the Matthews-Faulkner-Stanheight-Blank family dynamic so I’d honestly love 2 hear more on ur thoughts abt how Lawrence n Mallick would interact there! whether in a polycule sense or a Just Friends sense ^_^

thank u!! yeye I wld love 2 talk abt that!! (I hope yr feeling a bit better today also!! just wanted 2 add tht + THANK U fr the super sweet comment abt my earlier family dynamic response <3)

I'm personally writing this on th assumption tht Mallick + Lawrence are AT LEAST dating Adam + Eric, so its still within th polycule sense!

I think, much like he does with Adam, Daniel wld get along GREAT w Mallick!! I like 2 think tht they have very similar senses of humour + their snark levels r pretty evenly matched. Eric doesn't ever say as much, but he LOVES 2 hear thm go back n forth, ESP when Adam joins in - its just like. his 2 weird boyfriends bonding w his kid in a way tht has them all laughing n in high spirits n enjoying each other's company and honestly? Eric lives fr little moments like that! he loves getting 2 hear his living room filled w laughter and love and light like tht. sometimes he'll just lean against Art's shoulder while he's helping him cook dinner n listen to th three of them in the living room, voices carrying over th bg noise of th TV, n he'll close his eyes and sigh. it means SO MUCH 2 Eric to have his partners get along so well w his son.

I agree w what u said when I asked abt Adam/Mallick/Lawrence - tht Lawrence will often act affectionately disgruntled when his bfs r engaging in Shenanigans/just in general. so like he'll be reclined on th couch w a book or maybe he'll be in th kitchen helping Eric and/or Art, n he's sighing n shaking his head but he's smiling so wide it kind of hurts bc this is a family. this is smth he hasn't rly experienced b4 - Diana is his whole world, his sunshine n he loves her more than anything, but he didn't have this w Alison. as I've seen it mentioned b4, they were just playing house, grasping like straws at th hollow replication of the so-called suburban American dream, and its like. Lawrence doesn't truly grasp th gravity of tht statement until he's standing in the kitchen n listening to Adam Mallick n Daniel talking and laughing and sometimes infodumping back n forth. he doesn't realize what he's been yearning for until he takes over watching th pot boiling on th stove so Art can make his pasta sauce, until Eric comes up behind him n wraps his arms around his middle n rests his cheek against his back for a little bit. this is all Lawrence has ever truly wanted n I know I said tht w Eric too, but like. this is Lawrence's family, just as much as Diana is. n he like has to take a quick moment, set th wooden spoon down he's using 2 stir th pot w the pasta itself in it n just breathe. n Eric just Gets It, y'know? like Lawrence doesn't even have to say a word 2 know he's understood n its just. he's so so happy, for all his (entirely feigned, this man has such a big heart) exasperation n sighing. he loves these ppl. this is his family.

smth tht is very important 2 Lawrence regarding Daniel is tht he makes sure they know he's there fr them. u've mentioned this b4 also, but Lawrence has a very unique understanding of what Eric went thru as a parent who had a child tht was Also endangered by Jigsaw, n as such also has tht unique understanding of helping his child cope w what she went thru during her Own experience. he makes a point to sort of make himself available fr Daniel like tht bc yes they aren't Diana, and yes Daniel isn't his kid, but he still Cares abt them + is more than willing 2 pass on some of th stuff he's learned while helping Diana cope w her own experience (he's very careful abt this, bc he doesn't want 2 like. take tht role frm Eric, esp when he's doing much better in his recovery. but they've had talks abt tht b4 n Eric makes it very clear tht its okay). I think it takes Daniel a lil bit 2 approach him on their own - not bc they don't trust him or bc they think he's intimidating - but once they do, its very beneficial fr both of them tbh? even if they're not discussing the Nerve Gas House/Bathroom/what have u its a rly nice thing fr them to just sit together n talk.

Lawrence, like Art, is a good listener but on th flip side: Daniel tends 2 look to him fr a solution, or at least smth he can do to like. take his mind off of it fr a bit. a good avenue of this is tht Daniel has a mild interest in th medical field, so he often likes listening 2 whatever Lawrence is willing 2 tell him abt on tht front! n its still smth Lawrence is very passionate abt (he DID return to working in th hospital eventually, after all), so he honestly rly enjoys getting to talk abt it every now n then! so like sometimes Eric will come home frm work n see Adam sat on th couch next to Art + with Mallick's head resting against his thigh while he plays w his hair, n Lawrence n Daniel are spread out on th floor deep in discussion abt what Lawrence had done at work tht day/a topic Daniel had specifically requested, sitting diagonally across frm each other w their feet touching while they roll a ball back n forth bc Daniel focuses easier when they've got smth to fidget w and its just like. this synchronicity. shared heartbeats n breath n space. they've never belonged anywhere more than they all do right here, in this moment, together.

and it's so easy, like they've never done any different. like they've known each other for years and years and have always been this unit, have always been AdamEricArtMallickLawrence + Daniel. n tht is their family. that is their special brand of love and kindness and understanding. tht is how they cherish their lives, whether or not John would deem it the "right" way - who the fuck cares? they're happy! they're so blissfully domestically overwhelmingly happy and there is more than enough love 2 go around n THAT is what I'm here 4. they couldn't find the family they so desperately sought after so they MADE one!!! I could go on abt that fr hours!!! its the togetherness the unconditional love the hand-in-hand shoulder-to-shoulder of it all!!! (which is, of course, only made BETTER by th connectedness and understanding of trans ppl w other trans ppl + their supportive partners/parents (in Daniel's case)!! I'm losing it!!!)

ANYWAY I had way more thoughts abt this than I thought I did hfjdkskdk thank u so so much!!

How many nail polishes do you have, if you were to take a guess? *I* have none. Idk about Mom, but I know not a lot. Are you on birth control? Do you use condoms? I use birth control to regulate my period and ease cramps. If I was sexually active though, both would be musts for me. When did you start your period? How did you react? Who did you tell first? When I got home from school sometime in middle school. I don't remember exactly how old I was, but I was EXTREMELY upset. Like, I cried, because I didn't feel like a kid anymore. My mom was the first to know. Have you ever had sex while on your period? If so, would you ever do it again? NO NO NO NO THAT SOUNDS SO GROSS LKASDFJ;AJW;LKERJA;WEJLRKQWLKE;JR. Which way do you swing (boys, girls, or both)? I'm bi. Or pan. I really don't know. Tell me ALL about your longest/most serious relationship. Are you still in that relationship?

I have to wear glasses, so. Have you kissed or hugged anyone today? No. What is your mom’s and dad’s favorite TV show? I don't really know for either.

No, but ~supposedly~, Dad did with his now-wife. I don't know what the fuck is true between my parents, though. Do you think buying second hand clothes is gross? It depends on the type of clothing (ex., used underwear is a huge fucking no), as well as the state it's in. Does it gross you out when your parents kiss? They're divorced.

I know he never would, especially because HE'S been cheated on. How do you plan on disciplining your children? NOT by physical means, I can tell you that much. If I actually had kids, I'd teach them through (hopefully) primarily deeply talking things out. If need be, there'd be time out, grounding, things like that.

I'm not very competitive, and games are about having fun. When was the last time you used a pay phone? I actually don't think I ever have. Who did you have your most amazing kiss with? Jason. Do you go to church every Sunday? I never go to church as I'm not religious. If you had to get famous for one of the following, which would you choose: music, acting, writing, modeling? Writing. What do you think of girls with huge boobs that don’t wear bras in public? Who the fuck cares. If they're comfortable and at least have a shirt on, let 'em. Most women have breasts, big whoop. Do you even like politics? God no. What’s it like at raves? Oh god, I'd never go. Have you ever had a dream in which you were making out, or more, with someone? lol yes

[kewltie]

in the midst of a battle w/ members of LoV, pro-hero ground zero save a rookie journalist who LITERALLY threw himself middle of all the chaos to grab photos & after yelling at the ignorant fuck, katsuki doesn't think he'll see him again but then HE SEES HIM EVERYWHERE. his name is midoriya izuku & he has some sort of death wish really bc katsuki keep finding him in the middle of all these hero vs villains battles and ONE TIME he tackled down a villain right???? and he doesnt even have a fucking quirk & yet he is seemingly unafraid of everything.

needless to say, katsuki is v smitten bc the litle awkward death defying shit. also, anyone who accidentally send katsuki to the hospital several times a month bc he keep getting into trouble and katsuki have to come rescue him and THEN YELLING AT KATSUKI FOR INTERFEARING W/ HIS JOB – may be katsuki’s true love.

katsuki get so fucking rile up at this quirkless man, who shown no fear and easily go toe to toe w/ him and yet is so incredibly humble and hilariously awkward, he is just into this badass idiot who is entirely devoted to his job and cursed w/ severe stubborn???? feels relatable. so yea, katsuki ofc taps that ass right the fuck away bc he knows a good one when he sees it bc izuku is indirectly responsible for three broken ribs after katsuki had pulled him out of ANOTHER TROUBLING SITUATION. he's a trouble magnet and shit-stirrer and katsuki's heart is moved.

so they start dating and it goes SO WELL. izuku still get in major shitstorm for his job and katsuki still drags him out of it w/ a few bruise here and there, but afterward they go grab a bite and crash at each other place. super romantic and sweet and it's so v good. but!!! there's something weird about izuku. he doesn't talk much about his family, to katsuki anyway. BUT HE'S SUPER CLOSE TO THEM. his parents seem to call him daily and he go visit them often, but he never bring his parents up to katsuki esp his dad & izuku kinda got a stalker??

it's not like katsuki didn't notice right away, but HE THOUGHT IT WAS HIS STALKER. one of his super creepy fans probably but nope this person only tails izuku and when katsuki tell him about it, izuku is like, 'oh that's just toga'. apparently, izuku knows his talker v v well. the stalker apparently is sent by izuku's father to watch out & protect izuku and katsuki pauses bc who the fuck does a journalist who lives on takeouts and shitty cable TVs need a bodyguard?!!! so yea katsuki's new bf background is fucking weird and mysterious.

katsuki has his agency dig into izuku's background (not that they hadn't vet izuku's before for katsuki's safety) but they comb through the archives and izuku's history and it's comes out v v v v clean, sparkling even. honestly, katsuki doesn't know WTF IS UP W/ HIS NEW BF. so he confront izuku about his weirdo stalker/bodyguard, his avoidance about his family & his dad in particular, and his eerie squeaky AND CLEARLY SCRIPTED papertrails. izuku get shifty eyes and is like, "you won't believe me." And katsuki says tersely, "fucking try me."

Izuku drops his gaze to the floor and says, finally, "my dad is the leader of the league of villains." and YEA, KATSUKI'S BRAIN SHUT DOWN FOR SEC bc his deku?? stupid suicidal stubborn bleeding heart deku??? FUCK NO. but izuku just nods his head and grimaces. the LoV is the largest criminal org in the world w/ long list of crimes & longer list of criminals that make its their home. their roster are made up of terrifying people w/ dangerous quirks... and IZUKU, quirkless and softhearted izuku is the leader's most precious son. the idea itself is COMPLETELY ABSURD! HOW does that ever make sense? izuku is a civilian who works normal if a bit dangerous job & doesn't seem to have any *evil* inclinations at all yet he hail from the worst kind of genetic source possible. maybe he's just faking it all along.

which made katsuki absolutely furious that izuku might been some kind of sleeper agent from the LoV sent to trick spy & kill him or something and izuku's eyes wide, immediately protests, "no, no, i swear! i dont have anything to do w/ my fathers... org." but katsuki has a hard time accepting it esp with the truth bomb thrown at his feet now that he realizes HE'S DATING THE ONLY SON OF EVIL OF THE MOST VILE CRIMINAL IN THE WORLD. so yea, he walks out on izuku, saying he need some space & izuku was looking so heartbroken as he left

for the next few days, katsuki stews in his thought. he doesn't tell anyone about what he had found out, but he doesn't contact izuku either. This last for couple of weeks until, one day just as he in the middle of patrol there's some commotion that attract his teams and katsuki is separated from them. he's cornered by several LoV members, outnumbered five to one and katsuki lost his comms in the ensuring scuffles but instead of kicking his ass bc well they're foes, one of them break ranks toga (the blood queen) approach him w/ a bloodthirsty grin & a knife pointing toward him.

"hey, pretty boy," she coos w/ a flicker of edge, "stop ignoring our young master! you made him cried & he won't come out of his room. I hate seeing him so upset bc Izuku-chan should always be smiling! if you dont fix this ill rip your hide from your bones and wear it as a cape."

the group behind her make various grunt of agreement, all promising him death and disembowelment for... apparently breaking izuku's heart. katsuki is so outrage that he nearly explodes on the spot bc these dumbass villains think they CAN BLACKMAL/THREATEN HIM?! HIM, GROUND ZERO?! also, even more furious by the fact that they insuate that HE BROKE UP WITH IZUKU?! wtf, he never said that!! needing space meant just a temporary break s he gets his bearing on wut to do next... but not like a perma break, but izuku's ppl thought their relationship ended.

katsuki is even more offended by that notion bc izuku is even a bigger idiot than he thought. HOW could someone that much of crybaby over just temp break is some manipulative coldhearted spy?? right now his instinct says, izuku is telling the truth. he isn't tricking katsuki.

izuku is seemingly sweet, humble, & awkward but he got that rebellious streak a mile wide. loud in his opinions & shit-stirrer by choice, he faces down villains & heroes alike like they're on equal ground even though izuku is defenseless. he respect the law but only when it applies. katsuki has never seen such a fucking firecracker like izuku who loves people & the world but have little respect for any gov entity or laws and think they're good only when they're helping ppl but otherwise they're abritary (lmao). he such chaotic force for good it's hilarious. so yea, he believes that izuku is the SON OF AFO now bc that lil shit is a menace. A GOOD MENACE, but still a goddamn menace. he seems to stay firmly on the side of 'good' as it is which make his relationship with his villain father a fucking mystery & headache for katsuki.

so katsuki, gritting his teeth, clichely demands the LoV group to take him to their leader so he can verbally kick his bf's ass for keeping his fucked up secrets and stupidly mistaken that they're broken up. the group happily ties up him and blindfolds him bc well SECRET LAIR. katsuki is crazy, ok. like, STUPIDLY CRAZY to go blindly and no backups w/ some of the worst villains in history so he can meet up w/ his stupid bf and his crazy father. he could end up dead tmr or some shit bc it all could have been a trick to lure him in w/ his guard down but if izuku can be an idiot for dating a hero when he's a son of a villain than KATSUKI CAN BE A BIGGER IDIOT FOR GOING TO MEET HIS BF'S VILLANIOUS FATHER AT HIS SECRET TORTURE FORTRESS OR SOME SHIT. love can make ppl dumb and they're both a perfect example of it.

so katsuki get blindfolded and escorted to the LoV hq and it's a suprisingly sweet ride to there. no bumps, no abuse, no torture shit going on. he get offer food and drink and it's FUCKING WEIRD. his kidnappers start some casual convo w/ him about izuku and his job of all things. they even joke about how katsuki arrested one of them one time and almost kill another THE OTHER TIME & it's all happy bs??? it's even worst than torture. katsuki just want this to end already!! eventually they arrive and katsuki is let out. he get inside & his blindfold is off.

it's... nothing like he expected. it's traditional japanese house w/ sprawling garden, koi ponds, & beautiful woods. it's pristine, homey, and terribly normal. "ha, you thought we were going to take you to some kind of evil lair, right?" twice says, grinning bc he's an ass. "that's next time! we save that for official bsn." he jabs Katsuki's in the shoulder playfully. "you're meeting sensei and the mistress so of course it got to be at their house and not the 'office'."

katsuki's hands start twitching like he's going to explode someone or something but he's quickly drag away before he could do anything about it. lead through some hallways before depositing inside a tearoom where there's a SHIT TON of pics of baby!izuku & his childhood accolades on the wall. this look less like a room to greet visitors but to show off izuku. just as katsuki goes to examine a cute pic of bb!izuku playing in a field of flowers & holding one up towrad the camera, the doors slide open and a couple walk in. one of them is an older woman who looks eerily like izuku and the young woman also ft. in many of the wall pics.

she smiles warmly at and goes to greet him right away. "hi, bakugou-kun! welcome to our home, i'm inko, Izuku's mother," she introduces herself. while she's a source of happy energy and warmth, the other man beside her is another story. he gives katsuki's an icy stare. katsuki already knows who he is before he even say anything. AFO looks younger in comparison to his reported age, notably handsome, and he carries himself like some warlord from the warring periods.

"I should kill you," is the first thing he says. "my son should only cry in joy, over his terrible taste in romantic media consumption, & dumber things." spoken like a man who dealt with midoriya walking crying machine izuku his entire life and also a hopelessly devoted father.

"hisashi!" inko scolds. which is strange to katsuki bc he didn't even think AFO even have a name but in front of him isn't some evil man who mastermind gov't take over & ruin so many ppl lives but astupid father overprotected of his son.

"but i won't," AFO admits regretfully. "Izuku would be even more sad and if you're dead your death will haunt him needlessly more. he won't be able to forget you and move on." he frowns, like he actually had CONSIDER THAT ROUTE DEEPLY before casting that idea aside.

What the fuck, katsuki thought and says exactly that, "what the fuck. there's something seriously wrong with you," he points out what he think is v obvious.

AFO shrugs. "I love my son. He's my-" Inko's frown and he clears his throat, "our most precious treasure and we do everything to ensure his happiness. do you understand us, bakugou katsuki? inko and i have raise with love and care for 20yrs and i won't have some rough neck capers try to destroy his smile. i dont care who you are or wut you can do bc i can put you ten feet under w/ a snap of my fingers & nobody will be able to save you but like i said i won't."

Katsuki grind his teeth, fists clenched at his side, before lowering his head. this isnt time to fight, they're not on the field & on the job. this isnt about their respective stance on moral superiority but izuku. izuku is why they're both here. "i came here for him. i want to fix it," he says. "just let me see him." he pauses & grimaces like the taste of whatever he say next disgust him. "please."

AFO frowns, staring at katsuki for a beat, two. like he can pull apart katsuki's motives and tears into his rib to see w/e make him tick. "fine," he waves katsuki away, "you may see him now but if he cry anything beside in happiness i'll have your head and your entire agency." it's not a threat. it's a warning lace with truth that katsuki has no doubt he will carry out if a single tear slip pass izuku and fall.

inko claps her hand happily. "great, i'm glad you guys are geting along so well!" she says, like threats of murder haven't been thrown at his feet. clearly, she's used to the fact that her husband is a completely psychopath and whipped for their son. this fucking crazy family.

katsuki grunts, not knowing what else to say beside, 'have you ever thought of fucking divorce bc yea maybe you will be less crazy by then' but he holds his tongue bc they're still izuku's parents and he already made a bad impression on them even though technically not his FAULT.

AFO doesn't promise anymore murder in his future but the dark look on his face is enough as inko's lead him out & toward izuku's room. she drops him right outside it and gives him an encouraging smile before heading off, but katsuki has no doubt the parents are lurking around. katsuki sucks in a deep breath before raising his fist and knocks. he hears unhurried footsteps on the other side and slowly the door is slide open.

"Papa, I already said--" izuku whines, and stops as soon as he sees who ACTUALLY on the other side. "K-Katsuki?! What are you--?"

Katsuki blinks, trying to get his fucking brain to grapple with the thought of AFO as 'papa' and his head nearly explode. he drags a hand down his face and once again thinks, THIS FUCKIN' FAMILY. "Look, you idiot," he starts in lieu of any answer. "We didn't fucking break up."

Izuku looks haggard, buffy red eyes and the dark circle under it, speaking of how upset he was. he clearly didn't get any good rest these several days they were apart. he lifts an accusatory brow at Katsuki. "you didn't pick up my calls or answer any of my text," he retorts.

Katsuki rolls his eyes. "what part of I needed space, time to think didn't you get?" he snaps back. "It didn't mean go cry and sulk your parent's home like a damn coward because you were too dumb to think of anything beside we may have broken up!"

"But--but," Izuku's lips wobble and katsuki nearly jump out of his skin bc jfc don't cry here or i'll be skinned alive, "i was scared that you really mean it! that's why i didn't want to tell you in the first place bc then you wouldn't want to have anything to do w/ me."

Katsuki sighs, a bone deep tired sigh. "Now, why would you think i would have any problem with dating the son of my nemesis?" he says dryly. Izuku's brows furrow. "All Might is Papa's nemesis," he unhelpfully point out. "I don't think Papa even knew you existed until we dated."

Katsuki scowls. "that's not the fucking point," he shouts, temper rising w/ every word. "Your dad is the fucking boogieman who wants to sow discord in the world & it's my job to catch him &lock away for good. Do you see my moral crisis over this when im dating his beloved son?!"

"I-" Izuku's face falls, "dont you think I dont know that? I've lived with him for over 20yrs, I know exactly what he's capable of." he looks away. "But, he's my Papa & im terrible for still choosing him over the world. So," izuku says solemnly. "i dont expect the same from you."

Katsuki grits his teeth and steps right into izuku's space, up in his face. "Look, im only going to say this once so listen the fuck up," he starts. "I like you. A lot. Stupidly. Gods know why when you drive me up the fucking wall all the time, but here I am standing before you."

"A lot, huh?" Lips twitching, Izuku's eyes go soft.

Katsuki scowls. "Dont make me repeat myself, but yes fucking a lot that your fucking groupies & your old man threatened to kill me several times over did not deter me from coming here," he says, hand cradling Izuku's cheek.

"It's because I'm dating you and not your father. Whatever crimes he'd commited is not on you, you don't have to carry his sins," he tells Izuku, leaning in to press a kiss too fast and fleeting on izuku's forehead. "just stay true to yourself and i'll fucking deal with it."

Izuku's close his eyes and lets out a shaky exhales, the air of relief that passes through him is shuddering. "Ok, ok," he murmurs, opening his eyes to look at katsuki. there's a twinkle in them as he smiles, soft and sweet, the kind you can stupidly drunk on & never let go.

In that hazy moment, katsuki thinks, AFO doesn't need to plan any premeditated murder in case things go v wrong bc this is how he'll die w/ izuku's smile right in his front his eyes, cutting him down one curve lips at a time. Fuck, he's just as whipped for izuku as AFO.

it's good that izuku not a fucking psychopath like his father bc this would have gone v v v wrong. izuku would make a terrifying villain. Worse than his own father bc it's not fear & intimidation that will get ppl to follow him but izuku's own magnetic personality that move them.

"don't ever become a villain, ok?" katsuki insists suddenly, grabbing his shoulder tightly.

"where did that come from?" izuku laughs, eyes crinkling. "And dont worry, papa had tried. many, many times but i haven't turn over to the darks ide if that's what you worry about."

"Good," katsuki says firmly, and thinks the world better for it. one less crazy midoriya to raise hell. izuku is trouble enough as it is when katsuki thought he was just a quirkless journalist w/ a death wish but now there's a chance he could go rouge any moment and--yea. no.

"Sooo," izuku says, bouncing on his heels. "are we back together now?"

katsuki flicks him on the forehead. "we never broke up in the first place, you dolt."

izuku grins and suddenly throws his arm around katsuki. "ah, i miss you so much kacchan!!!" he declares excitedly.

and after they made up, katsuki interrogate izuku about wtf is wrong w/ his father bc how did AFO of all ppl get a villain son who isn't all about /that/ kind of bsn he's in. turns out izuku always have a healthy regard for heroes so he never thought of joining his father's organization. though AFO would have been super happy to take izuku in bc izuku is terrifyingly clever & resourceful but he lets izuku go & do his thing anyway. they just mutually agree not to talk shop when it's family, keeping their jobs outside &not in the home to keep both of their sanity.

so izuku knows shit about the 'family bsn' except wut everyone knows bc he's not involve with any of that and in his everyday job as a journalist izuku often times clash w/ his father AND expose some of his schemes bc it's part of his job & he doesn't shy away from it. AFO wasn't upset at all having his plans ruin by his own son. nope. he was SUPER PROUD OF IZUKU!!! to able to accomplish such thing on his own even if it's against him lol. but izuku is still his father's so so he doesn't take on just AFO, other villains, & dark org. he takes on the gov't, hero association, and even other heroes themselves if he ever catches on if they didn't live up to his ideals of being 'proper hero' like all might. he fiercely chases and exposes anything that he deems corrupted and wrong not caring which side they're on.

which makes izuku kind of chaotic good. he acts on his own whims & sense of justice, disregarding all rules & barriers. which is why he admires katsuki so much bc katsuki stands by his rule staunchantly & won't ever move from it, izuku knows katsuki wont ever be sway by the dark. kinda like izuku's father who stands firmly by his belief & does everything to reach his goals. WHICH IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT KATSUKI WANT TO BE COMPARE TO ESP BY A NOTORIOUS VILLAIN LIKE AFO lol. but yea, now that he got izuku's motive and why he's the way he is, it get easier.

they continue dating, izuku continues getting into trouble 120% of the time, katsuki keeps bailing him out, and sometimes IZUKU BAILS HIM OUT bc izuku may be quirkless but he got an army of the world's most terrible villains on his side so yea izuku IS TERRIFYING. and they aren't just dating but they're 100000% serious w/ each other bc now katsuki go to izuku's parents house for dinner every sunday and have to put up with AFO and play nice w/ each other for izuku's sake bc they come ton an understanding they will be IN-LAWS one day lol! their dinner convo is mostly the two of them taking jab at each other bc katsuki trash of AFO's plans or AFO's sends katsuki's ppl to the hospital and got away with it. they never stop being enemy even for izuku bc of where they stand on but mutually agree not to kill each other. they're both fiercely devoted individual who are obsessively workaholic, stubborn, vainglorious, and loves just as much as they breathe for their ppl and though they never agree on anything, this they will agree on bc izuku's happiness is everything to them!!!

[jetblacknewyear]

Me & my house mate have taken the obscure notion to be watching all the pokemon movies this past week .... i think we r aiming to watch them all. Tho i myself have only watched up until the end of gen 4 and that absolute garbage cg remake of the first one. Anyway some thoughts-

Nostalgia is an absolute farce & sometimes 4 kids over saturate the pokemon voices way 2 much and the meme of me enjoying childhood hyper fixation absolutely fizzles out for a second into i feel like a parent watching this or someone who has never seen pokemon in my life and is just like . What . Which is very not tru bc like i love pokemon lmao. but mayb its the curse of capitalism and knowing the shallow plots r built just to sell a product makes this like tumultuously evident?

I cant believe they actually went and tried 2 do their own ghibli movie w the 4th movie. And im high key accosted w the cg, it had actually some of the prettiest cinematography in these movies and decided to wipe its entire ass with its own shit.

Also idk if they still do this but . I never realised how much they love implementing god awful cg into theze movies. Like its BAD. not even redeemably good and makes transitions between scenes all the more harrowing. I understand its y2k its all about using sweet revolutionary tech. But I feel like if yr not pixar in 2004 and you dont have their fat wallet. Its fucking pointless. Nyway nothing has aged well at all.

Like all the hoenn movies r tortuously slow & badly plotted except the lucario movie is genuinely charming especially if you were angsty as all hell in 2008 and love watching wolf with psychic powers mourn his bf for an hour & a half. Also medieval pkmn half hour I guess

The villains r actually quite interesting in these movies! And kind of makes me wish pokemon anime itself was more narrative wise strong? Some of the characters ie the girl jewel thieves in the 5th movie fucking rule. Would hav bin cooler to tie in these movies w anime plot or something better....

I feel like also w the movies nintendo r just like . We gottaaaa uhhh promo this new fucking cat thing can youuu like uhhhh. Do something . And tv tokyo just has to take it at face value and be like . Yeah. Bc I genuinely dunno if anything ab the anime has anything faithful 2 the games.

Anyway in terms of banger plots. The og 3 r yr standard good tho i think the second is eugh whatever lmao. But anyway The 9th one fucks so hard? Darkhorse of the movies imo but its been like the most consistent plot wise? And just really fun!like atlantis......

Also sad pkmn ranger got its ass handed to it bc it was a sick concept?

I wish the 5th one had a better plot but i think I really like these movies when it’s the animators like hehehe we are in pokemon venice doing silly things. First half of it is gr8. Bc the minute it hits legendary pokemon garble plot im like aughhhhhhhhh shut the fuck up go back to the gif of vaporeon drinking water from an out door tap.

I will come back 2 this when we start watching the movies i havent seen lmao. We r 2 start gen 4 next and i cant remember if any of those movies r descent bc they’re all super unmemorable.

This has bin fun so far. Obviously im just typing my gripes & the demographics for these movies r not for me. but still interesting to rewatch after like 12ish years ?
