#and they're not even a lil bit fruity?

[sugaroto]

So the - the anime about drag kings is about straight romance????????????

Betrayal

[evilminji]

Ooooh~ Drink mix up? >.>

Because! Wes DID, in fact, get that dream job. HAS learned... after many, many hours of "beat about the head and shoulders with an ethics pamphlet by his great aunt", to keep his mouth shut! Family curse of Sight? WHAT family curse?

He doesn't see shit! Mind your business.

What're you? A cop?

Look, he sent Fenton a gift basket. He was a shitty, shitty "I have to be RIGHT and nothing else matters!" Stubborn lil asshole of a kid. He got better. Grew up. No one is there best Self during puberty. He DOES, in fact, regret it.

Which is WHY, he is deliberately ignoring Kent's terrible, awful, paper-thin, "who meee~?" Aw shucks BULLSHIT excuse of a disguise, like it isn't blatantly obvious he's Superman. Yep. Nothing to see here! Nothing but us chickens! Mmmmm, morning coffee! Delicious.

But see, here's the THING.

The Itty, bitty, teeny lil PROBLEM...

Wes grew up in Amity "Totally Not Supernatural Hotspot For Centuries" Park. He is... to put it mildly, genetically? A freak. His biology is ALL fucked up. Everyone's is. And it WAS NOT made better by the Fenton's playing fast and loose with their hell basement. The Ectoplasmic NUKE that was that portal.

There is a REASON his morning coffee? Is COVERED. Contained. Fenton brand, LEAD LINED, specialty cups. The sort that can't be EATEN from the inside out. Eroded after a few uses. They're ugly as sin, but they work. He even ordered a few covers from Star's etsy shop. (Apparently he wasn't the only one who hated how ugly they looked. Good for her though, he heard it was doing well.)

He SAYS this? 'Cause his morning brew is less... straight COFFEE... and more... how to put this? A blend? Brew? Potion, really. Like an energy drink. From hell. Or, partially at least, the Zone. It's the combination of roots, seeds, and a few dried berries. Kinda like a tea, actually!

Tasty. Adds this nice fruity, warmth. A zing. Goes GREAT with the coffee. And it really perks you up... if you are Limnal. If you AREN'T? It'll desolve your esophagus like swallowing straight acid. And that's not TOUCHING the... witch-y, more Seer specific bit of the blend.

That stuff is medicinal. You know, "calm the mind" and "mental clarity". That sorta thing. With a good ol helping of "don't blurt out everyone's secrets, you spacey bitch! For the love of God, those are our INSIDE THOUGHTS!". Which? Really helpful! Infinitely less likely to get decked. It's a family staple.

Poisonous, though.

They're fine cause they've basically developed an immunity to that part, but like? Wouldn't recommend. It's why he NEVER shares his drinks. Food? On occasion. If he PLANS it and knows not to add and interesting spices. But DRINKS? Never. Weston family brews are basically NEVER safe.

Which? Begs the Very Important Question ™!

Who's Coffee Is This?

Cause it SURE AS FUCK AINT HIS!

You never realize quite how fast you can go from "completely calm and kinda sleepy" to "bomb strapped to my chest, primal panic AWAKE" until it happens to you. His coffee was ON HIS DESK. People have passed by. He talked to them. Cups put down and picked up. Lazy early morning. He doesn't even register, really, as his chair crashes to the ground.

He's shouting.

People confused. They don't realize yet. His head whips around, looking for that distinct cover. Before it's too late. Before someone takes that fatal sip. He spots it. Bolting from his desk. Crashing through coworkers, over desks. Chaos and outrage. "It's 'just' coffee!" They cry.

Kent turns, confused. Pretending. Raises his (HIS! Oh god!) cup to his lips, unknowing. Wes SCREAMS a warning. But he doesn't listen. "It's 'just' coffee" They never listen. Curse of Cassandra. God's damn it. This is why his family fucking CONVERTED!

He TACKLES the man of steel.

RIPS his cup away from him, knows his eyes are frantic. How much have you had?! Spit it out! Wes voice ECHOES in the sudden silence. I'm a META, Kent! It could KILL YOU!

And oh, Oh NOW they get it. Or perhaps it is the burn in his mouth that finally registers. He rolls, spits oil slick nebulae that eat away the floor. There is blood mixed within it. It took mere moments. Superman stares, transfixed and horrified, as Wes shakes. He... he should probably get off of him.

He'll move in a moment.

When his legs no longer feel weak from terror.

The news room is in chaos. Lane kneeling by her husband, Perry trying to do damage control. He... he's probably gonna lose his job, isn't he? Wes wants to cry. Protection laws only go so far, after all. And warning his boss about his dietary needs means jack shit, after an incident like this. Beloved as Kent is. Not that anyone likely believed him.

They never do.

And now he's nearly killed Superman.

Hi I love you writing, so I wanted to ask you about some headcanons about a relashionship with The brotherhood members and a Male S/O

I hope you have a good day kisses

Of course!! Thank you for requesting, it means so much to me! I really hope this is up to par! Kisses! (⁠｡⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠｡⁠)

Brotherhood with a Male!S/O

Azure Lion:

He is the most supportive boyfriend ever

Azure pushes you to your limits and encourages you to go beyond!

He's a little less affectionate with you when you're around everyone else, mostly because he doesn't want to have to endure their endless teasing

When you two are by yourselves though, expect a lot more contact

From small things like gentle shoulder squeezes to more obvious things like peppering kisses over your face

He isn't hesitant about roughhousing with you at all, and treats you as if you're just another member of the Brotherhood (he's way more affectionate with you but yk)

He's a lil old fashioned, not in a toxic or bad way though

He's the type that believes men should be strong and capable so that they can protect the ones they care about

Best believe hes urging you to train with him or join him and the brotherhood on their silly quests

If he were to get drunk (which is surprisingly rare), he would be all over you

He would NOT be ashamed to get handsy in front of everyone else in his drunk daze (much to Wukong's demise. He's exaggeratedly gagging at you two the whole time)

He values quality time with you where he can be vulnerable without his sworn brothers teasing, so he might take you on quiet, secluded dates, just to be close and cuddly with you without the pressures of others

Peng:

Their so fruity its not even funny.

They have absolutely no qualms with showing you off and letting everyone know that you two are together

They call everyone 'darling', including you, but be prepared for some other more exclusive nicknames

'Dear, love, and sweetheart' are just a few of the many they'd call you

They're always touching you in some way, whether it be wrapping an arm around your shoulders, resting a feathered hand atop your head, or leaning against you

Maybe its because they want everyone to know you're theirs, or maybe its because they like knowing that you're there beside them. Who knows

Just because you're partners doesn't mean you won't be subjected to their teasing

They always have something to say

"Hm, your hair is a bit out of place darling. I'd fix that up if I were you."

"I knew you were helpless, but I didn't think it was to the point where you had to rely on others pointing out your clothes are on backwards."

But If their quips start bothering you and they notice, their always quick to reassure you in their own.. special way

"You are such a twit. You know I don't mean any of that my love. My only real insults are reserved for that damn monkey."

They love giving you kisses everywhere except your lips (just because they like teasing you)

They think its funny when your face goes red after they give you a teasing slap to the rear

Even though it might be hard to tell, under all of that teasing and jest, Peng loves you dearly

Yellowtusk:

He is so protective of you

Not to the point where it's overbearing, but he still has a tendency to be a worry wart

"Have you eaten today dear?"

Please just reassure him you're alright, don't leave him hanging

He's definitely the wisest of the group, and follows his head more than his heart

Because of this, the Brotherhood sometimes tends to drown him out

If you're willing to sit through his ramblings or stories then he's eternally grateful

He's not really one to initiate things like kisses, so you'll have to take the reigns on that part cause he's a little shy! (and he's worried he might hurt you with one of his tusks)

He has no problem initiating things like hugs and cuddles though

If you ever come into his study while he's working on something, he'll happily plop you down on his lap and explain what he's doing while he works

You two are so comfortable and casual around each other that someone could mistake you two for just friends at a glance

But Yellowtusk knows that he doesn't need hugs or kisses or cuddles to know that he's utterly head over heels for you

incorrect magnificent century quotes but not rlly pt 2

hatice: im really into cheaters. a bonus point is if they're openly pinning after my bro, i like them a lil fruity.

mahidevran: i loved my man but if u catch me obsessing over his wife for 140 episodes u didnt see nothing bc this is 100% approved normal person behavior i swear. love them snakes.

nigar:what y'all think abt choking? personally i find it so hot it appears in my dreams but you didn't hear this from me.

hurrem: im really into powerful men with a loyalty fetish. if they're a tiny bit toxic it's like a cherry on top, sue me.

nurbanu: i like alcoholics. stupid silly alcoholics who think they're funny but they're really not. also they should have 0 dreams, 0 goals, 0 hobbies i love me a challenge.

huricihan: i like men children with a brother complex and maturity of a 10 yo. he doesn't overspend, he's just generous—we all have flaws. my mama taught me our dynasty is the most important thing in the world so i think we should keep it in the family.

fatma: i dont even have a type. as long as i think they're sort of hot and in my age range we can make it work. or we could if they didn't get killed 5 episodes after their debut. whatever, you only live once.

mihrimah: i like them old. not my freak ugly husband tho, fuck that guy. by the way, have i told you about that one time i was really into my half-brother's medieval situationship? we broke up cause he picked my brother over me, that stupid asshole.

gulfem: i like my ex's hot batshit insane sister who romanticizes toxic men and has attachment issues.

sah sultan: no one of you are normal.

LIFEWEAVER HEADCANONS

Alright I know the man just came out to Overwatch but-

I HAD TO WRITE SOME HEADCANONS FOR THIS MAN!

(Also, give me some requests! I would love to write some more for not just him but other characters and actors and whatnot.)

Well first things first the man is fruity I'm not debating that

And also Sym probably knew way before he did

*Lifeweaver feeling his heart beat faster when his crush is around*

*Symmetra being the #numberonewingwoman she is gave in a lil nudge to where his crush was

(Also in my opinion sym is bisexual and/or queer 😌)

Lifeweaver paints in his free time, he would definitely set up painting and tea dates with his partner

Symmetra and Lifeweaver would definitely paint together to relax or to just do with him to just talk about how things are going

Lifeweaver paints but he never shows it to anyone not even Sym

He would definitely whisper some Thai songs and little loving whispers to his partner(he would probably say the dumbest thing to his partner in Thai but in a loving way and his love would be swooning over it till he giggles and runs away leaving there partner to chase after him)

I feel like he is the type to worry heavily about anything and everything

In college before he dropped out I feel like he would just stress which is why sym introduced him to painting and most likely mediation

So if he worried about his partner, the man would be scared shitless-

If he hadn't heard a text, call or anything else that would notify him that there fine

He would go insane

When you would walk through the door, he would pull you in(much like one of his abilities in OW) and hug you so tight that you can't breathe

He's a very tight hugger and he loves to find flowers to give to his partner

Also, he's hella blushy any kiss or compliment from him or his partner would make I'm redder than a tomato and frozen in his tracks

Morning kisses and cuddles are a thing

Has to stay in for like 5 more hours even if he already woke up late or had something I'm important at Bio-light to do

He would do little harmless pranks on sym and his partner

He loves to show you off and a bit protective as well

He would also love to use his levitating rose platform thingy(...great job.) to look at the stars but he wouldn't be giving the stars much of a look but glancing more at his partner. (When they catch him he would either be so swoon that he wouldn't notice till you said something to wake him his adorning trance or he would panic and pretend he wasn't looking)

All in all this man is a lover not a fighter

But he would definitely fight when it comes to his bestie and partner

Some Extra Headcanons( ;3 )

He also totally ships Junkrat and Roadhog-

Totally a chaotic person (and would love to make tiktoks if that was a thing in overwatch)

He also gets shy a lot

I can see him in like normal everyday clothing when he's not fighting

He definitely prefers comfort over style

Man's would also be like Sigma barefoot 24/7 (like put them dogs away! They're barking-!)

He would love to craft up some roses for you but they break easily(like in the game) I feel like he would make them break faster just so he can see your face light up when he makes you another one

You brought up the idea of making flower crowns and he is obsessed with that idea

CEO of saying "the audacity"

Yeaa I think that's all the headcanons I have I'm sorry for this whole thing being rushed I just wanted to write something for him most of them I thought of while painting. I'm sorry I've been gone I'm sure most haven't noticed but I really want to write more so give me some ideas! Please. And thankies.

Can't It Wait? | Jey Uso x Rhea Ripley

just a long lil peek into my next fic!! before going into it, pls know things aren't exactly what they appear to be. but i will not elaborate on how !! <3

It started as simple ribbing, Jey had just wanted to get under Dominik's skin. He wanted to send a message that the offer to join The Judgement Day had never been more than a joke to him. The memes, the fanart. It was all meant to play into Jey not joining their merry band of emo wrestlers. He had no real feelings towards Rhea, he had no intentions of pursuing her, or taking her away from Dominik. It started as a joke, and it was meant to remain one.

That was weeks and weeks ago, Jey still wouldn't join The Judgement Day, he wanted nothing to do with the four of them. Especially Dom and Rhea.

Yet…Jey had let Rhea into his hotel room when she came knocking.

Just as he had two nights before, and almost a dozen more before that.

He knows he shouldn't have, he knows that the first time it happened could've been a mistake if it hadn't continued to happen.

Rhea doesn't give him the chance to deny her, not that he would. She's on him the moment the door clicks shut, and all thoughts of Dom are gone.

Her lips are soft, and she tastes like a tropical drink, that Jey knows the source of is the gum she chews. The flavor she started chewing when she found out it was his favorite. 

He briefly wonders if Dominik has noticed she switched from minty gum, to fruity. 

Rhea senses his distraction, and she isn't at all shy to deepen the kiss, or guide tattooed arms around her waist to ultimately be drawn in closer by.

Jey follows her lead, as he often does when they're in this situation, or ones similar. He loses himself in the kiss, hands trailing from Rhea's waist. Lower, and lower. 

She hums her approval, though the sound is muffled by the sudden shrill of a phone. Her displeasure at being interrupted is obvious in the way she sucks her teeth and fishes for her phone with only one hand.

Once she has the device, the face of Dominik Mysterio flashes on the screen. Rhea tenses, but the hand in Jey's hair, the hand he has no recollection of how it got there, scratches gently at his scalp.

Clearing her throat, Rhea answers, her tone gives nothing away, even if she sounds slightly breathless, 

"I'm a little busy, Dom-Dom. Is everything okay?"

Jey can't hear Dominik's reply, but Rhea frowns at whatever he says, nodding despite not being seen by the younger. 

"I'll be back downstairs in a bit, can't it wait?" 

Their eyes lock, and Rhea smiles at him.

It's a warm smile. Inviting. Unlike the smirks she wears on TV, this is a thing reserved for only a few. Jey knows as much, because he's seen her smile at Dominik, Damian and Finn similarly.

"We can come down now then, Dom. I wanted to actually ask him before dragging him with me, but if you're so eager…"

Jey's ears start ringing with the uncertainty that courses through him at her words. 

His confusion must show on his face, because Rhea is cupping his cheek and nodding lightly. 

What she's nodding at, he doesn't know. All he knows is he feels slightly sick, and like the earth was just upended in front of him.

Before long, Rhea is hanging up the phone and drawing his attention back to her.

"I'll be straightforward, because you look like you're about to throw up, baby."

"Don' call me that right now…" He curses himself for how weak his voice comes out.

Logically, Jey knew this thing with Rhea was merely sex, even if she looked at him like she could truly love him. Like she could want him in a way that was more than blowing off steam.

Sometimes they'd embrace after everything was done, and she'd tell him about her day, mindlessly tracing his tattoos and leaving kisses along his bare skin.

Those intimate moments usually went unbroken for hours before Rhea would have to sneak away once more.

It never dawned on him just how much his time with her meant to him, or how much he'd grown to rely on her presence. He hadn't realized he'd caught feelings for her.

Not that any of it would ever matter.

"Hey, come back to me, Sweet Face. I can explain, just let me, yeah?"

Her accent is thicker than usual, her bare face giving away the emotions she tries so hard to mask in the public. 

Jey nods his head, his bottom lip tucked between his teeth as he does.

[wilcze-kudly]

I watched Korra again for the Weilin but I still Don’t Get It even though I want to!!! Can you give me the rundown/pitch/Weilin 101??

Oh boy I am so sorry I made such a fuss to over weilin you felt like you needed to rewatch the show for it.

So basically, Wei and Bolin don't have many interactions in canon. In fact I would say that there are only two scenes that properly count as one on one interactions. Its also important to note that the only Beifong twin Bolin ever interacts with as a singular person rarher than a pair is Wei. He never interacts with Wing unless he is addressing both twins.

The first interaction between Bolin and Wei is during B3 when Bolin is trying and failing miserably to learn metalbending. Wei seems annoyed to be stuck with someone who doesn't know metalbending and decides to sandwich Bo between two metal plates. As you do.

He then claims that 'trial by fire' is the best way to learn metalbending. Since Wei is such a minor character, we don't know enough about him to be able to fully pinpoint where this action came from. Does Wei genuinely think that bodily harm is the best way to learn a martial art? Was he trying to distract Bolin from his constant failure to bend metal? Was this the equivalent of a puppy biting someone as an attempt to initiate playtime? Is he just a douche?

We will probably never know. Thanks nickelodeon.

Bolin does eventually return the gesture in kind, getting his own petty revenge. And hitting Wei in the head with a pebble.

I like this scene, because it showcases Bolin's pettier side. One that rarely, if ever comes out with his canon romantic interests. Bolin is a character that has a habit of reigning in his less palatable traits, in order to appeal more to the people around him. His petty and more sarcastic nature is reserved mainly for Mako, probably the person he feels most comfortable with.

I think it's a very fun thing to see this side of him flare up with this random guy and it gave me thought about how their relationship could incorporate this. Wei enjoying pressing Bolin's buttons, causing Bolin to showcase more of his more authentic self.

They so seem to both have a passion for sports and earthbending which is cute. They're both competitive which adds some nice flavour and potential spicy sparring scenes.

The next scene is the famed catch n' pat.

Youre gonna tell me this wasn't at least a bit fruity?

The prolonged eye contact? The damsel in distress imagery? Bolin's lil smirk that is soon replaced with bisexual confusiom?

Imo they have a lot of chemisrty in both these scenes and make me want more of their relationship.

I also think it would be very interesting to see Bolin develop feelings for a guy. We see that he puts his female love interests on a certain pedestal. Id assume this is due to a rather naive and innocent view of love, most likely due to the fact that he didn't get to emotionally mature enough to acknowledge that romance isn't like what the fairytales say it is.

It would be interesting to see Bolin not get to 'court' said male romantic interest like he usually does. Bolin wouldn't be as 'showmany' with a guy friend than with a girl he'd like to seduce. This causes an interesting dynamic to the relationship if Bolin were to want to seduce said guy, who has seen him with his guard down.

Also seeing comphet boy Bolin going through a crisis of sexuality because his (ex?) girlfriend's brother patted his face is very appealing to me

I think what entices me in weilin is being able to have a dynamic no other ship could fully offer Bolin. And the potential of character growth it could afford Bolin, a character whose complexity is often overlooked, much to my upset. Personally, I dislike all of Bolin's canon relationships, so when Weilin came chemistry guns a blazing I was very intrigued. And then I fell down the rabbit hole and now im here.

If you have any more questions on Weilin please feel free to ask! I'm over the moon to ramble about them to whoever will listen. Hope this was enough to start you off with.

Also, if you're interested, I have a concerningly long essay on the subject because I am very sane and normal about them:

Rest assured my feelings have since evolved and i now have more reasons to ship them.

I guess there's so much fun to have with this ship and the dynamics and stories they could have.

[interlockingpatches]

Im gonna ramble in your inbox for a bit lmao, I have a few ideas!

What about music themed?? Like music notes, treble clef, etc (idk a lot about musical notation honestly but ik theres a lot of symbols). My next thought was instruments but usually those are super detailed, like string and brass? A Harp?? The simplest i can think is like, some piano keys would make a cute design, or maybe just the headstock of a guitar! God, brass instruments would be so intense to make, i just looked at a saxaphone and I'm freaking out thinking of the detail and how impressive that would be. Or maybe physical media like a vinyl record or a little cassette tape? A little boombox, record player, or radio?

Going off of that, I think people really like decade themed/nostalgic stuff. I love 70s things personally so i may just be projecting, but i think 80s and 90s vibes are super popular! You could look at toys, technology, icons, and popular colors of an era, things like that and that might be inspiring!

Also thinking about summer themed designs since summer is coming up! Seasonal stuff is so cute and I notice people are always looking for little seasonal projects! Surfboards, beach umbrella, a fruity lil drink, are things that come to mind for me!

The more i write the more ideas i think of but this ask is already huge lmaooo so ill leave with these and hopefully its not overwhelming

First of all I will not be out-rambled in my own house lets gooo

These are all so good and sensible and fun! Thank you so much! I spent a day and a half sketching out just some of them (and going off an a few tangents), and there are a few already that I can't wait to actually pattern up and make <3

Musical instruments and notation are both perfect and super hard for the format. They're so detailed, like you said, and their design is so specific; it's hard to know what can be fudged or elided without getting the whole thing irredeemably wrong. (I've had the same problem with birds and arthropods). Like, how many of the saxophone's fourteen-hundred eldritch appendages *do* I need to show? I could include them all, and the motif would be the size of a bedspread and take a month and a half to crochet, and I perversely want to do that now so thanks also for that.

Even in that keyboard motif (which, you'll have to trust me, is a very good likeness of Casio keyboard whose demo song was the soundtrack to my early childhood) is already over twice width of my largest typical designs, and it would have to be twice as big still for me to space the keys accurately.

Decades are a great organizing conceit! They lend themselves to a kind of idiosyncratic hodgepodge that really appeals to me, and "random collection of old things that you remember" is a trope people don't seem to ever get sick of—and new things are getting old every day. They're also a way to ease into pop culture references, which I haven't really done, and which might offset some of my Debbie-Downer tendencies (when you suggested "70s things" my actual first thought was "what do quaaludes even look like?" My first idea for the 80s was "Margaret Thatcher demolishing a council house," and my thought process for the 90s went "Monica Lewinsky's dress, OJ Simpson's gloves, Tonya Harding's crowbar… NAFTA?" Terrible patches, all. What people want as a little picture of a sofa at a jaunty angle with a caption that says "PIVOT!").

Anyway. I'm especially excited to try the disco ball, the record and the off-brand Tamagotchi (I preferred Gigapets, personally). Those all have double-length diagonals that I've freehanded a few times and know to work at least okay, but which I haven't figured out how to notate. Oh! and I haven't got a beach umbrella that I like just yet, but the hurricane cocktail seems like a good way to kick off a summer collection—as long as I don't follow it up with, like a graph of yearly average temperatures, which is something I would absolutely do.

schmoochle headcanons !!

urgh im bored and i need to rant about my skrunklies so today i bring you some schmoochle headcanons,,,

rare schmoochle

youngest of the schmoochle family, at least 13-17 and have a height of at least 7-8 feet

mohawk man acts slightly more mature and tough than horned douche, horned douche is very silly and goofy and is just a very likable and pure boi in general but can get very serious rlly fast when arguing with their partner

one of them has a southern accent change my mind

and on the topic of voices they are very likely to sound like those young boys in anime who are voiced by females but with a slightly deeper tone especially mohawk man horned douche would probably sound more like namine ritsu lmfao

both are fluent in korean !!

mohawk is fruity asf and a lil more ahem seductive with their actions for example eating elongated foods like bananas and popsicles and long cream-filled pastries when they feel like it and it kinda makes horned douche cringe a bit but at the same time they don't rlly mind

mohawk man is also kinda a tsundere !!

they know how to play the electric guitar, very skilled at it also they're yearning to be rockstars &lt;;33 i mean cmon with a design like that u can not tell me it wouldn't be true bet me 200$ that they literally shred the electric guitar strings like their lives depend on it

again, with a design like that you can NOT tell me they don't wear chains and leather stuff and spiky bracelets and pentagram necklaces and other gothic/emo stuff if u tell me otherwise u lyin' also you'll prolly catch them at hot topic 25/8 no delays

to add to the electric guitar stuff they LOVE rock music and heavy metal it's their FAV music of all time

mohawk man likes rocky road ice cream, horned douche likes mint choco chip (my fav flavour btw) and mohawk man kinda despises them for it smh-

they're into horror games and horror movies, horned douche is a lil cowardly tho unlike their partner who kinda likes getting jumpscared and seeing their lover being a scaredy cat

to add to they're likes for horror they're also into the paranormal, they like spooki stuff like demons, witches, ghosts, vampires and stuff like those and will read about them

common schmoochle

oh now where do i even start with these two,,,

erm they are very floofy and perfect for hugging,,

horned dude is a chill and outgoing gentleman to be around and is a talker, and ponytail gal is kinda shy and not as talkative as their partner but is very sweet you might get diabetes, also they're kinda sensitive and horned guy's a bit protective for that specific reason

they're like the middle family members, young adults at 18-19 and can be about 8-9 feet tall perfect size to be given a big ol' bear hug by them hehe,,,

fluent in japanese !!

sometimes they'll go to watch the beautiful scenery of the sunset/sunrise while sitting on top of a hill or sumthn

ponytail gal loves wearing bows and jewelry hence why my design for them has their ponytail tied up with a red bow and they have a pink heart ring on their finger, their partner is likely to kinda spoil them with exactly those things, if it's pretty enough to look good on them then they'll get it

ponytail gal is also one of those kinda ppl that are easily distracted by cute and fluffy things, if they see anything that they claim to be cute they will STARE RESPECTFULLY and will even try to touch it; for example if they see cat *ahem* cataliszt- then they'll react just as how i described it

boba dates every now and then !! horned guy doesn't like boba that much but will surely get some for their partner who is a boba lover, may also go for sweet treats as an extra deal for their little dates,,

i'll have you bet me 50$ that horned guy is both a flirt and a tease and will use those traits on their partner just to see them flustered just because they want to and they think it's cute.

ponytail gal likes peaches, not too fond of the tart/sour tasting ones tho they prefer the sweeter ones. they also like strawberries but again will dismiss the sour tasting ones for the sweeter tasting ones

ponytail is also slightly touch-starved,, may require hand holding and headpats and snuggling from their partner every now and then which their partner rlly doesn't mind at all,,

try and tell me they don't like playing dating games i'll instantly disagree with u

as for their voices they will sound like uzi and n i can hear it everytime i look at them if you try and tell me otherwise then get out rn >:((

epic schmoochle

i mean ofc epic schmoochle resembles elderly love so ofc they're gonna be the oldest of the schmoochle family and i'm talking mature adults so they're 20+ years old and ofc i can guarantee they're the tallest out of everyone so they'll be about uhhh 9+ feet tall

in personality they are motherly and fatherly with their younger common and rare cousins so basically they're also the parental figures, they're also the same in personality when it comes to being aorund other monsters

married couple, that's all i gotta say !!

fluent in chinese !!

will sometimes go stargazing for their dates, they like watching the night sky and looking at silly constellations while having a nice chat

since they're made of chocolate and candy their hardness depends on temperature, if it's hot they're gonna start melting which could cause problems for them, if it's cold then they're good

having to put up with the other schmoochles' shenanigans especially rare schmoochle those kids be doing the most lmfao is kinda a tough job for them but they are able to make it work

speaking of that whenever the schmoochles watch a movie and an inappropriate scene comes up epic schmoochle are always the ones to shield their cousins eyes so they don't have to see it lmfao

art is a hobby they enjoy the most, they're good at it too

they flirt with each other 24/7 and if other monsters don't like it then they can leave &lt;3

pigtails has a sweet high pitched motherly voice with a southern accent and grandpa (sorry lmfao i had to i mean cmon LOOK AT THAT HAIRSTYLE) has a deep voice and a british accent

that's all i got for now and my boredom is officially gone now so waheyyy,,, 🎉🎉🎉

It's summertime and Namatame is running for mayor! Good for him. I personally don't think I would vote for him, he is a little too uuuuuuh prone to very oddly christian views soooooo

But I'm genuinely glad he's recovering and wish him the best! Good job, Namatame! You're welcome for all the times i pulled your ass out of the fire inadvertently.

No one arrives to drive Reverie home, so of course we end up in the food court.

Hi, idiots, we see you.

God, they are such adorable brothers. I'm so happy Yosuke got a mail-order sibling. They are so great together.

EVERYONE I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT. IF I CAN HAVE YOUR ATTENTION.

I HAVE GOTTEN OVER MY CRUSH ON KANJI TATSUMI. YES, THE ENTIRE THING. IT'S RETIRED. YEP, WE'RE DONE.

me fucking glancing sidelong at Naoto and hiding my mouth behind my hand: yo homie is this your type? like for real?

AHEM. Anyway, yeah Kanji good to see you. Did you use a permanent dye or are you using a high-moisturing semi-permanent to fix the bleach damage?

god i've never seen a glow-down like this. where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?

Yukiko, this is like all those times we went to the movies and you laughed at the not-intentionally-funny parts. This is a tragedy Yukiko!

I was gonna rank everyone's glow-ups but they're all great except the obvious. Everyone looks super cute!

dojima do you even make enough money to feed, like, eight teenagers? is this coming out of the utility bill money? god look at this spread.

Well presumably he's not interacting with any women so maybe he's calmed the fuck down a bit.

IT IS THE SUMMERTIME WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE LONGER HAIR! Yukiko knows what's up, in the summertime you put your hair up or CUT IT OFF. How are you people surviving the heat like this!!!!

THE BEST ONE IS MARIE. SHE'S A FUCKING WEATHERWOMAN AND SHE DECIDES THE WEATHER

ALL THE WAY BACK IN THE FIRST MONTHS OF THE GAME NANAKO ASKED IF THE WEATHER PERSON DECIDED THE WEATHER

THAT IS A GREAT BRICK JOKE.

Also good for you Marie.

OKAY AND THAT'S PERSONA 4 GOLDEN! IT'S DONE! WE ARE FINISHED!!!!

Lemme collect my thoughts. Also, if you got any prompts or questions, ask box is open.

[griled-chese]

top 5 sandwiches as a fellow sandwich fan? i’d also like your top five magic arts but i’m giving the sandwich question preference due to your url

okay okay yayyyyy! sandwiches are so divine to me thank you for the question.

#5. tomato and mayo.

real simple to start off, but sometimes simplicity is the key. the scant ingredients make each flavor all the more clear, playing in beautiful harmony. makes summer time bearable.

#4. PP&J+

still in the realm of simplicity, but with an added twist I learned from my father. a couple of dill pickles, which lend both a saltiness and slight sourness which honest to god perfectly compliments both the fruity sweetness of the jelly and the nuttiness of the peanut butter. I don't have PB&Js often, but when I do they're bepickled through and through.

#3. breakfast sandwich

I'm talking egg and chicken fillet type thing on a toasted bagel. the details don't really matter, long as it has breakfast flavors, as breakfast is the most hedonistic meal of the day and sandwiches are objects of pure hedonism for me. I like to put a lil ranch on em too.

#2. the thanksgiving leftovers sandwich

as mentioned before I love a good hedonistic meal, and as such thanksgiving is my second favorite holiday. the family aspect I could take or leave, but the feasting? makes me feel like a medieval king. but the true feast comes not on thanksgiving day but the day after the day after, when my stomach's empty and the leftovers are starting to get just a little delectably stale. I reheat all the leftovers I can find and shove them on the two biggest slices of bread. a true indulgence of mankind's deepest gluttony, this sammy should ideally leave you immobile.

#1. grilled cheese sandwich

it was obvious, there is no other sane choice in my mind, frankly there is little else in my mind except the perfection of the grilled cheese. the grilled cheese has a simplicity to its base form but with that comes an unrivaled versatility, it comes to us in one thousand forms each aligned perfectly with every single cell in my body. there's the simple white bread american cheese, best when paired with a simple soda of some kind. or a barebones approach served with warm soup, a combination that is so good it's literally yuri. you can use different breads, sourdoughs being a certain favorite of mine. you can use mayo instead of butter, but be careful with porous breads lest ye end up with little mayo pockets. there's a veritable menagerie of additions you can add, my favorite being hummus and tomatoes. hell even in just the cheese there's infinite possibilities. every grilled cheese is beautiful and every grilled cheese may sing to us in angelic voices in the few moments of savoring them after every bite, if we allow them to.

god I love sandwiches, thank you for letting me be a sandwich freak for all too long. it was admittedly a bit of a hard list to make since most of the sammies I make don't really fit into rigid categories and are more just whatever I have on hand that I feel like adding in the moment. anyway I'm going to go eat a sandwich and then after I'll do too 5 magic card arts.

Longpost. Watching Mario movie and need to get this out.

Autism ahead.

MANN IM SO SICK OF THIS AUHGGGHH!!! aighHHh!!

I hate the voice for Mario. 0/10 that's not My Mario. Luigi's voice was fine. BUT HIS PERSONALITY

What have you done to my Luigi. My poor boy.

THE OPENING SEQUENCE WITH THE STUPJD DOG. Dogs don't act like that a dog would NEVER AUGGH NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING FOR COMEDIC EFFECT IM SO DONE

Just creating non problems for the main cast to have Conflict is my biggest pet peeve !!

I get it its """funny"". It would've been funnier if the dog wasn't even menacing and Luigi was just THAT scared of a harmless dog he panics and messes up

LIKE THATD BE FUNNY!! BUT NO. No we have weirdly sentient dog mess it up.

I will admit. I liked the family scene, it was done pretty well imo.

How they discover the magic pipe is, kinda fun. Don't remember if they resolve the Water Crisis later or not, but I'll see !!

(Typing this as I watch, btw. Live posting, but on tumble)

The Between when they're going through the pipe... confuses me? Why did they end up in two different places if they went through the same pipe. Mario logic isn't logicing!!

It would've been better if they went through different pipes.

I LOVEEE THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM THo i love how beautiful and inviting they made it.

Wish they weren't a coward and used toads real voice, but hey, the one they did wasn't that bad?? And got across the point while not being annoying (imo)

The dry bones bit was fun, and I like how the darklands trees are square like and windy

Is.. hitting golden blocks like. Toads jobs??

Love the platforming in mushroom kingdom. Really silly and cute, love the references.

Princess peach is where I'm going to judge the hardest. She is my bugaboo wifey.

I like how she's portrayed as powerful. I wish they utilized her power more.

LOVE that she woops Mario's ass immediately.

I also like that she's got a rapunzel like personality? Immediately can tell she's been sheltered and same girly same

The obstacle course is a really fun bit, however, feels very drawn out and like we could've gotten more screentime doing other things than watching Mario boyfail again and again. There's a lot at stake and they're just... doing this. Can't he learn on the job???

Mario hating mushroom bit bad. Maybe they could've executed it better?? Idk just felt like a haha wouldn't it be funny if rather than an interesting character trait

If I hear I Need a Hero used in any context that isn't Shrek 2 ever again I'm exploding.

I like how they animated Mario's denim.

LOVINg how awkward peach is with social interaction she's actually me fr.

LOVEEE jack blacks character voice for bowser!!! Works really really well for his personality!!

I wish Mario had more personality than Typical Main Character of the Post 2010s era.

Fire flower field is suuuper cute I can't lie, plus I like peaches backstory !! I wish we understood WHY they crowned her princess tho...

GAY BOWISI SCENE AY BOWUIGI SCENE !!! Why did they make it. SO. SENSUAL.

Mixed feelings on the doomstar, probably wishing it was written better and had a Lil more impact than doomsday Debbie downer that sounds Cutie

The Kong Kart thing is like. Really cool actually. There's lives at stake but hey, take on me is playing it's time for a fun montage anyway

Wishing Kong Country had more military significance tho with how they ralk about their army, idk

The colloseum is a really fun idea tho. Love a good gladiator motif.

Dk and Mario acting kind of... kind of.......... kind of....... some fruity scents coming from the subtext

It's giving repressed homosexuality with DK

THEY KNOW WHEN BOWSWER'S ARRIVING?? THEN?? WHY?? ALL THE LOLLYGAGGIJG !!

The Mario Kart scenes are so fun. I have to admit that.

Where. Does each side keep getting information so fast. There needs to be just like, one character that explains that. A traitor or something cmon

BACK WITH THE HATE !! HATING THE CONSTANT IMPLICATIONS MARIO AND PEACH ARE FLIRTING !!!

From bowswers pov I understand. He's toxic and insecure.

But everyone else??? It gets !! Really annoying !!

My girl peach rejecting them both at the end of oddesy.

DK CATCHING MARIO WITH HIS KART??? HELLOOO?? GET MARRIEEdd??

OKAY THIS IS A PART IM MAD ABOUT. PEACH WOULDVE DONE EVERYTHING TO SAVE MARIO FUCKYOUFUCKYOU SHE WOULDVE ATLEAST TRIIIIIED

Not.not Jonah and the whale nOOOOOOOO

PECAH COULDVE USED HER WATER ATTACHMENT ABBIT AGO HUHHH HUHUHUH

I guess. She needed to warn her people. Or whatever

I like that most of the toads have sheep mentality. It's very interesting to me

Bowswers delulu ass is so funny to me

I don't like how damsel Luigi is. He's capable of things too!! Fuck you !!

NOT THE DK MARIO BEING GAY AGAIN?? hello?? They're so much gayer than I remember ??

ICE PEACH ♡♡♡

Dk and Mario having more chemistry than a vinegar and baking soda

The music tries too hard to add motifs and it ends up sounding oddly forced.

Damn can't believe they killed Luigi (comedic lie)

NOT THE BULLET BILL NUKE??? hELPPP ???

What Has Mario Done.

[swampysmiles]

Hey! Tell me about your favorite things!

AAA HEY! oh cheese n rice I didn't study for this and it takes me forever to reply to everything ever but my power is out so HERE WE GO UMHMHMHM

💜🩵🤎🖤🤍 <- these colors? S tier.

Data hoarding (esp web 1.0). Swimming used to be my favorite outdoor activity but it's a bummer doing it alone. I write and dabble in digital art for fun but I struggle a lot with sharing.

I love the smell of the ocean. Hopefully one day I can return to Cornwall and get a good sniffa in on Merlin's Cave. I almost got stuck in there at high tide, but I gotta say it smelled delightful while I hopskipped for my life.

Teeth are also neat! I have intimate experience. It's so neat that we have bones on the outside.

Also fish. Fish people. Fictional fish people. Eridan. What're we talking about

🦀 Animals: seahorse, opossum, kiwi bird, cephalopods, crows and pigeons bc they're smart af and know no fear, chickens bc they have so much personality... man I'm all about the animal kingdom's weirdest n silliest lil fellas.

🕹️ Games: JUST GOT A ROG ALLY SO I BE GAYMIN!! Currently playing Stardew Valley, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Fallout New Vegas! Some all-time faves: Zelda, Zero Escape, BioShock, Fallout, Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, Bugsnax, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga... One of my besties got me into Vintage Story, which I can't recommend enough, even if it's been a bit since I updated our multiplayer server. I should defs get on that... Anyway I friggin adore games that focus on story and exploration! I'm a slut for environmental storytelling, like object clutter... Oh!!! Also surreal and psychological horror! But like if monsters are involved I'd prefer to be dating them ya feel me?

🫐 Food: blueberries, blue powerade zero bc regular tastes funny, cheese, jerky, pickles, cheesecake, tarts, fish (cooked or raw, in general tbh, Cajun cooking means tons of wet critters yumyum). Anything spicy or sour or with a dash of acidity for balance! I can't handle too much sweetness and prefer more tart or fruity snackies.

...

AND MORE!

Just now realizing I reeeaaally let this get away from me so I'll try to wrap this up IM SO SORRY TYSM FOR ASKING! ;u; On an unrelated note, I have a neurological disorder LAMOWASDFGHJKL

HOW BOUT YOU LESGO ◉⁠‿⁠◉

[jkgnggj]

OK LEMME CONTINUE SINCE U ASKED SO POLITELY <3 i haven't given it too much thought tbh but i love the idea of a good ole love triangle between these three. Esp bc of all the angst and drama and character development that could go down. There's several ways I can picture it happening but the main one is just... ok so like that gyaruo Tori idea that's been going around? Where Tori tries changing himself for saiki? As per usual when he has a crush on someone, Tori tries to pretend to be someone else or dress differently etc bc he knows nobody's gonna actually ever love him for who he is or at least that's what he's believed his whole life. So picture this: Tori doesn't get what saiki likes about satou bc well he's just plain and easily the easiest person to imitate bc he's so bland but also the hardest bc how do u even copy that much blandness without being born with it yk? He's the complete opposite of Tori so how will Tori go about changing himself to be like satou? The easiest way is to hang around him and get to know him. Maybe it's not his looks maybe saikis seeing like another side of his personality that he doesn't show to anyone else. So Tori goes up to him and tries to hang out and bc he's putting so much effort into getting to know satou he doesn't realize he's giving a bit uh mixed signals he's a lil too fruity too touchy too affectionate and satou has never had a friend like him he's never felt so interested in someone he's never thought someone could be so fun and wild and funny and unique like Tori and he ends up falling in love with him. And meanwhile as they're getting to know each other saiki is throwing a lil fit bc WHY IS HE RUINING SATOUS NORMAL LIFE? So satou confesses to Tori and tori's like woah what u like me? ME? I wasn't even trying to rizz u up bbg why. And then he realizes satou likes him for him for himself not for any fake personality he tried on to impress him. And wow that's kinda idk that makes him happy... not even saikis ever liked him for himself, sure he tolerates him but only bc he's a psychic and knows his secret right? And then saiki probs threatens Tori to stop ruining satous normal life but also he's low-key jelly and isn't sure if he's jelly of Tori or of satou he's got confusing feelings. And now tori's confused too bc he liked saiki but now he doesn't and likes satou? Actually with Saiki pinning him to the bathroom wall inside of this cramped stall face so close lips inches away from touching nevermind he def still likes saiki so like who does he like more?? Can he like both? At the same time? Something something Tori tries setting up satousai on a date now that he's friends with satou and bc he's still friends with Saiki and they hit it off great but also satous still got feelings for Tori and saiki recognizes although it was fun he kinda wishes Tori was there too or sum and they both talk about their lil pervert monk friend and rant about him and gush Abt him and then invite him to thirdwheel the date but then it's not really thirdwheeling but more like a triple date? A throuple? And then other stuff happens where they realize their feelings yadda yadda boom satorisai

tori- "isnt satou straight??

kusuo-"..."

kuriko- "i would literally be a girl for him, dude"

[phe-purple-parade]

Just remembered when my hs lit studies class read Hamlet (that class was so fun, always had a laugh with those guys) and we chose roles 'cause we wanted to like act it out during readings (resulting in some hilarious moments, like when I had to drag my classmate 'off stage' after mime-stabbing him through a blanket another classmate held up)

Anyway I read for Hamlet because that's so gender (and no one else really wanted to lol) and I lowkey liked the girl who happened to be reading for Horatio (it wasn't a crush but I uhhh yk thought she looked good n was cool like she read Jane Austen and did her research project on how Audrey Hepburn influenced fashion n stuff and just,, I think if she had ever asked me out I wouldn't've declined but ultimately it was aesthetic attraction more than anything else. And she was v likely straight)

And so I couldn't really suggest that like,, Hamlet and Horatio are perhaps gay for eo or anything 'cause I wouldn't've wanted to make her uncomfortable or anything

Earlier that year almost our entire class agreed that Dorian and Basil from The Picture of Dorian Gray were gay and she was legit like 'oh, I didn't think of that' like this girl was surprised?? We're all here either outright saying 'they're gay harold' or generally agreeing but she just,, did not consider the gay subtext afjahdkfkl (our teacher was trying to palm it off with an alternative interpretation and like yeah screw amatonormativity and all but,, the context, man. Oscar 'The Homosexual' Wilde was definitely queercoding his characters during the repressed as hell Victorian era ok?? But this was a Christian school so.. but like. Legit one of the classmates I sat with wrote a Dorian x Basil fixitfic I can't). And I basically ended up saying to her 'your interpretation is totally valid.. but you're wrong' nOT THAT I MEANT TO SAY IT LIKE THAT BUT IT KINDA CAME OUT THAT WAY AND EVERYONE REACTED LIKE I'D SPAT A SICK BURN OOF NO GUYS I'M JUST NEURODIVERGENT

So yeah while I wished I was cool n confident enough, there was no way I could've made a flirty joke about Hamlet and Horatio with this girl (even tho I generally wanted to point it out)

[jonathanbiers]

i can't stop thinking about lil teenage tommy hagan and steve harrington doing things that are definitely a bit fruity while they're in the figuring yourself out stages of life. so maybe steve grows up not thinking it's weird at all to want to cuddle or even occasionally kiss boys, or hold their hands, or lean his head on their shoulder while they watch movies. that's just typical friend behavior, he's been doing that with tommy since they were kids and it was never weird.

until it wasn't tommy, it was one of steve's other friends, and they definitely thought it was weird when he instinctively went to snuggle up to them on the couch or whatever. they definitely got very obviously uncomfortable, might have even accused him of being gay or said some vile things to him. so, okay, he gets it in his head that it's not normal, maybe even that it's wrong and bad.

so, he stops being physically affectionate with tommy. he pulls his hand away when tommy reaches for it, shrugs off tommy's arm. pretends not to notice the kinda hurt look he gets in return. when he wakes up after they passed out on the couch during whatever movie it was that week, his head resting comfortably on tommy's chest and the familiar thump of his heartbeat right under his ear, he feels guilty because this isn't supposed to be something guys do but he likes it. but that's wrong, that's what his other friend said, it's bad.

so, he pulls away further. doesn't stop being friends with tommy, but he keeps him at an arms length at best. and tommy gets a girlfriend, and steve is relieved... right? he should be relieved. that's normal, they're guys. they get girlfriends. but tommy's been kind of a dick to him lately, and seeing him with his arm over carol's shoulder, or kissing the top of her head, or her kissing his freckle-covered cheeks, it makes something in his stomach twist. he used to do those things. he wants to do those things still. but those aren't things guys are supposed to do. they're wrong.

they go on double dates sometimes and it's fun. it is! steve doesn't think about the fact that tommy and carol are making out in the movie theater, because he's too busy making out with jennifer, or heather, or christy.

things with tommy are getting weird. he's not being mean to steve, just...vaguely rude all the time. until he starts lashing out, and steve's just confused. doesn't say anything, figures it's probably not his fault, just tommy's own shit. him and carol haven't been doing great.

tommy and carol are on a break, have been off and on for the past year or so. steve doesn't know what fight it was this time. he doesn't really care, past the fact that tommy's upset. they're at steve's house, and they're alone, so they're drinking. to get tommy's mind off of it. steve doesn't know how many beers they've had between them but they're sitting at the edge of the pool, their feet in the water and tommy's leaning on him. he's damn near in steve's lap. would be, if he just moved his leg a little bit. steve doesn't think too hard about why he wants him to. doesn't have time to think about it.

because tommy sets his beer down behind him, tosses it more like, it spills all over the concrete. his hand is on steve's cheek, turns his head, and steve doesn't even try to think. he knows this, it's familiar, it's good. steve's kissed a lot of girls, none of them kiss like tommy. not like they mean it. tommy gets his other hand in steve's hair and steve's arms wrap around his waist, this is normal. tommy is in his lap now, and steve missed that. doesn't get to savor it for long, because tommy pushes him down to his back. tommy's spilled beer soaks through the fabric of his shirt, he doesn't care. this is right.

up until it stops. steve lifts his head off the concrete, tries to chase after tommy's lips, but when something drips onto his cheek, he opens his eyes. tommy is crying, is glancing back and forth between steve's eyes like he's looking for something. he doesn't seem to find it, asks, "why?" steve doesn't know what he means.

when they wake up in the morning, tommy in steve's bed and steve on the floor, he wants to ask. he's got one hell of a hangover but he can't stop replaying that kiss in his mind. he waits to see if tommy says anything. he might not even remember, he was drunker than steve. drunk enough to do things he didn't mean to do, didn't want to do, steve thinks. he wants tommy to have wanted it, though, because something clicked for steve last night.

tommy doesn't mention it. doesn't act like anything happened at all. he's not back to his regular self, but he's back to being the bitchy tommy that steve has known for the past few years, so steve assumes he's right. tommy was blacked out, didn't mean for it to happen. he tries to ignore how his heart aches when tommy steps out the door to go home wearing a change of clothes he'd borrowed from steve.

tommy and carol stay together after that. when they hang out, it's always the three of them, sometimes plus whoever steve is dating that week. steve doesn't get his shirt back, but him and tommy aren't talking nearly as much as they used to, and it's not like he even really wants it back. he kind of hopes tommy will just...wear it one day. like some kind of signal or something. he'll show up to their double date wearing steve's shirt under his jacket and give him one of those looks that says more than words can. says more than steve thinks he's capable of saying in words.

he doesn't. nothing happens at all, until nancy wheeler happens. things are different with nancy. steve wouldn't say they feel right, nothing's ever felt right with any of the girls he's dated, it's still nice. but sometimes out of the corner of his eye he thinks he catches this little look, a little spark of jealousy, but when he meets tommy's eyes directly, it's gone. he must be imagining it.

then jonathan byers happens, and steve says some shit he'd never in a million years actually mean. he's not imagining it then, the way tommy reacts to his words. it's nothing steve's never heard tommy say himself. projecting, he later learns is the term for it.

then it's after jonathan byers happens, and tommy has steve backed up against the door of his car, fists in his shirt, their faces close. it's not like the last time, not like any of the other times they've been this close, but steve can't help it. his eyes fall to tommy's lips, wishes he'd just close the distance. it feels kind of like it's their last chance. he knows tommy won't, and he knows he doesn't have the guts to do it himself. even if he did, carol is right there, they're in public. it's game over for them either way.
