masterpost of alhaitham being endeared by kaveh because im so tired of this behaviour
the 1 second kaveh is in the archon quest
the two times alhaitham indirectly mentions him in the archon quest (isnât it something to be totally normal about that alhaitham is the only character to mention or hint to kaveh and yet alhaitham asks kaveh where he was when SUMERU needed him the most okay)
it is embarrassing you got caught musing aloud about your missing roommate, heâs verbally scribbling hearts and initials in the corners of his notebooks
kaveh returning home being linked to alhaithamâs happiness? Itâs extremely likely because it happened, this is a thing that exists and we have to live with it
#caught in 4K#EMBARRASSING!!!#i love you my guy#alhaitham#kaveh#haikaveh#kavetham#this is not meta but itâs also equally important#i will continue this in the reblogs#heâs so startled that he slipped up and spoke aloud when musing about kaveh#i dont think bro even knew he was doing it#and when he got called out he was genuinely surprised because 1) he didnt know he even said anything#and 2) he didnt think anyone would hear and question him#bro was :O

âŒïž 14 Days With You is an 18+ Yandere Visual Novel. MINORS DNI âŒïž
Are these headcanons? am i theorizing? am i analyzing his character? could these just be kinda writing prompts? god fucking knows atp
Kinda turns into justâŠ. a Renren appreciation post at the end. Love them
- If angel is someone who talks to themselves a lot, Ren would thoroughly enjoy that and sometimes reply as if they were having a conversation, and would frequently even use it as an opportunity to practice their âharukoâ persona as he replies to them
- Usually when people are on their electronics they almost never look at the little camera directly, instead focused on the screen but those rare moments where Angel actually looks into the camera, if even for a second it makes Ren breathless because it feels like angelâs looking at him.
- got this one from one of the little fics but whenever angelâs on call with someone, Ren loathes it. Because, they donât like that angelâs paying so much attention to someone else, but on the other hand theyâre close their phone. Talking to someone, laughing, making jokes and having conversation and if Ren tries really hard, they can pretend that angelâs having a conversation with him instead.
- Ren tries to time their eating schedule with Angels occasionally, unless heâs just trying to snack on something. Not JUST because theyâd find it relaxing to eat with angel but because he doesnât want to take time away from staring at angel just so they can eat, heâd prefer to train his body to get hungry when angel gets hungry so they donât waste even a second of his time with angel
- for day 1; not inviting him over and then choosing to call/text him, you can hear them running away from (whatâs presumably) angels door so angel doesnât hear him talk/type, but they only leaves the SECOND angel calls or texts, not before. Now maybe he wasnât expecting angel to contact him and was genuinely surprised, or, since angel was on call with Moth, (who was urging angel to talk to RenâŠ) they saw that angel then went on their phone and either looking at his contact or had the chat pulled up, so maybe he just didnt want to waste even a second not staring at angel. Though, maybe it was more of a mix of both
- His first meeting with angel in the library seeming so akward to angel while Rens brain is going a thousand mph. Mad that his first meeting with them wasnât the perfect one they imagined, mad that he wasnât prepared, scared youâll see right through them BECAUSE he wasnât prepared, nervous to finally be near angel and have them FINALLY talk to him, trying to come up with an excuse as to WHY he pressed the button in the first place (he did NOT read those pages nor that fucking book i am telling you now), trying to come up with any excuses to keep angel there with them for longer, how to stay with angel, to introduce himself, to hear angels voice more, restraining himself to not go completely haywire off the bat because first impressions matter SO much. Then the second you turn away and he gets eleanor out of the way they have to quickly dig in his pockets (or steal stickynotes from the library counter) to try and come up with something charming to write and have angel read to make them find him cute/approachable/not-fucked-up/your-exact-type
-ecords angels voice sometimes and tried to cut and put the clips together to spell something out for him in angels voice (momentary satisfaction but itâd never beat hearing angel actually say it) (most likely it was either their real name or âi love youâ or something cheesy like that. maybe.)
- i know heâs not superstitious but the thought of them coming accross one of those posts of âThese initials belong together!!â and NOT seeing his and angels initials in there making them mad is so funny lol. Bonus if he sees someone elses initials with angels (Say, A+L as in Angel and Leon). and theyâd get mad and either X out everyone elses combinations and put only him and angels in it or search for one with them in it. He knows logically that it doesnât mean anything and that it was probably just some kid making a fun video but god forbid having someone elses initials with Angels even with something silly like that
- theyâd be one of those boyfriends that if angel as little as looks at something for more than a few seconds heâd ask if theyâd want it, or just grab it and buy it right away, or remember it and buy it as a surprise for them later. Angel giving a quick second look at like a shirt or a toy and then continuing to walk and then the next day Renâs giving it to them because he âthought theyâd like itâ. This alr kinda happens in game on day 2 but pshh theyâd buy it for angel even if they didnt literally pause and stare at it for a minute and a half
- Angel forgetting a password to one of their accounts and complaining about it to Ren, who immediately tells them what it is, only for Angel to be like ??? wtf howâd you know. Or, if they werenât completely caught up in staring at angel heâd comfort them and tell them that theyâll remember it soon. And then write it down for angel somewhere for them to find easily/ purposefully saying something that kinda sounds like it or would hopefully get angel to remember it, like. If the password was âiloveharuko13â heâd start talking about AOG with them, specifically about harukoâs last appearance
- Angel asking Ren how heâs been today when theyâre catching up and him-not even thinking about what he was actually doing today just thinking about how happy they are now that angelâs here- just answering with âiâve been good! how about you..?â very quickly because heâs eager to hear Angels thoughts. He already knows what theyâve been doing but how they FELT about it and their thoughts on it are much more interesting/important
- The reason he stares at angel so much aside from the obvious is that theyâre trying with all his strength to develop mind reading powers /silly /not serious but he mightve actually at least tried this at one point no?
- Angel having a diary would be the equivalent of a bible to him. Its angels raw unfiltered thoughts written out BY them. Thatâs pure gold and god mustâve blessed Ren if angel decided to keep a âtop secretâ diary. (if angel complained about someone in said diary heâd keep an eye out for them specifically and try to limit angels interactions with them until they made up or parted ways. Or. something happened to them lol)
- idk i just wanna mention that i love their desperate attempts to just be around angel and have them see him. âSweet boyâ, i say, knowing fully well what heâs done and is capable of
- Occasional Angels cutlery thief. you know why (returns them though) (maybe)
- Him asking in their head over and over again âis this real? am i dreaming?â when angel actually invites him over to their place and what ensues because?? only in his dreams right???
- Ren was practically gritting his teeth when they said âwhat do you think iâve been doing since you moved awayâŠâ at Leon, i donât think he was angry because Leon moved (probably actually was really happy upon hearing it- maybe thinking âthis is my chance! itâs my turn!â) but because the act of him moving made angel sad. It was more of a âhow dare you do something that you knew would hurt angelâ while secretly they were glad that Leon moved. another,, âloatheâ kinda thing? Hates that angel was hurt but happy that Leon wouldnât be as much in his way anymore?
- Purposefully sometimes leaves angels windows/doors open just so he could see them come closer to shut it. Very rare for them to do bc he doesnât wanna make angel like,, paranoid (unless theyâd be going to him for comfort and safety⊠but⊠maybe thatâd only be if heâs really desperateâŠ)
- Thinking abt if theyâd âcoincidentallyâ show up on angels double date on day 4 or watch from afar. âhaha how funny i didnt know you would be here⊠withâŠâŠâŠ themâŠâŠâŠâŠ.mind if i come with since iâm here anyway? haha? ^^â âŠand then him trying to pull angel away from the rest of the group (especially leon and teo ) so it can be another date with just angel and renâŠ? perhaps. will patiently wait to see
- I think this is alr canon but iâll say it anyway; him learning angels favourite foods and learning exactly how to cook them. Yes, they could just order the food in through delivery like he does for himself but they want to impress angel and make it specially for them. I feel like the reason he had the pancake recipe STILL pulled up on their phone even though he was already at the very last step of cooking them was because he wanted to be absolutely certain that they were making them EXACTLY the way angel liked- trying to reference pictures for how they were cooked and plated even though heâs probably got them all memorized by heart- but he just wants to be sure.
- Ren stalks angel but in doing so he also stalks everyone close to angel, of course in completely different ways and completely different reasons but theyâd nonetheless know a LOT about the people who angel surrounds themselves with; even without hacking into their belongings and finding every little thing about them (Incase he needs to use this infomation against them⊠or tell angel)
- ^ adding on that him watching angels friends have other friends and become friends with eachother would probably also be like,, something that makes them at least a little happy. In the way of âIf they have eachother then they wonât be around angel as much ^^â
- Ren in absolute distress watching angel get sick BEFORE their meeting in the library. Wanting nothing more than to bend reality itself to make angel better and get them everything they need but knowing that they canât do that yet. (Heâd pray that angel wouldnât notice that their waterbottle on the nightstand keeps âfilling itself upâ, some pain meds just âshowing upâ on said nightstand, the cold towel on their forehead being cold again once they woke up⊠uh, more⊠taking-care-of-sick-person-things that iâm forgetting rnâŠ)
- Yk that funny thing you sometimes do when you look directly into the camera on your phone/laptop/ whatever youre on and you say sumn like âi know youâre watching me!!!â as a joke. Like the âfbi in my phoneâ joke. Yeah. imagine that.
- if angel was an artist and drew ren ( be that in secret or asking him to pose ) Heâd probably act really flattered and be all smiles and secretly be running laps around his brain like there is smoke building at the top of their head. Angel, taking time out of their day to stare at Ren (or draw him from memory?) and draw him? HIM? As in. Specifically REN, not haruko??? Bonus if he WATCHES angel draw him, weither that be in secret or not, theyâd see just how FOCUSED angel is and the effort theyâre putting into drawing him. His heart would explode, probably. (Also if angel is staring at them? yeah. yeah.)
- Not enough people talk about how he was so puppy-eyed upset when Leon called angel âsunfishâ right in front of them. Interrupting angel and everything. You could practically FEEL the â:(â in his little â-sunfish?â and the next words out of their mouth were â-Angelfish and i-â as if Ren was subtly CHALLENGING Leon and trying to compete with him. How dare he have a special petname just for them? As if Ren hasnât been calling them âAngelâ for his whole life? Does Leon even KNOW what sunfish look like? âAngelfishâ is so much smarter and theyâre prettier fish. Itâs essentially insulting.
- When angel starts showing signs of liking Rens real personality he absolutely overthinks the hell out of it. Because, surely not?? That was just their hopeful thinking? Him hearing things, maybe??? I donât think Ren would believe angel at first if they started showing interest in his real personality, have to convince him before they even think about it. After all, itâs his haruko persona that finally got your attention after 13 years. Surely you like that more than this freaky creepy emo guy. Theyâre practically opposites afterall
- Angel making any sort of comment about the future that involves Ren- be it in the next day, week or month, heâd be over the moon. You want to keep them around for that long, that youâre already planning it? Thinking about it? Including him in your daily life and schedule? Itâd only further his belief that you are an angel
- Rens mumbling coming from the fact that he doesnât socialize like at all, and is used to just saying things out loud to angel and talking to themselves. He mumbles and whispers things to himself a lot and i REALLY like that trait abt him, i do the exact same thing
- im sorry i wanna mention i really like his little angry face. Rens little furrowed brow and pout. Itâs so perfect and he is NOT shy of using it every single time someone interrupts or even suggests taking angels attention. I pause and stare at them everytime he pulls that little â>:(â face i adore it sm i love the art in this game.
- Already canon but this mans love for matching with Angel in any way is so fun. If you choose to dress in a âcomfyâ way they get all happy and like almost celebrate it. âYes!! i knew you liked softer clothes! I was so right picking this outfit this will surely impress them and have their attention on me!â, in the same breath, if you choose to dress âalternativelyâ, Ren thinks you look very pretty but then theyâre a little pouty that angelâs not matching with him, he specifically chose this outfit for angel and didnât think theyâd be wrong since he knows angel so well
holy god i did NOT just write that much⊠it just turned into rambling oops. i needa replay again and write more haha here i go
rlly hope iâm not just like horribly wrong about everything lol i CANNOT survive a âhe would not fucking say that !!!â
thank you sai for creating Ren and showing him to the world with the rest oâ the crew. They are all so very dear to me đ

*HSMTMTS SEASON 4 SPOILERS*
Question; Is it already appropriate to stop putting a spoiler warning on my posts? lmao
Anyway, Letâs talk about 4x05 specifically, Rickyâs line âLast summer, I was terrified, when I realized i had real feelings for gina.â
Because maybe this will put the pw/rini fans down and help them accept that rina is and was supposed to be endgame no matter what happened with liv and josh. Also, Iâve literally never seen anyone talk about this and maybe iâm just exaggerating lmao.
I think Ricky could have just as easily said something along the lines of âwhen i realized i had feelings/ when i realized i developed real feelings for ginaâ but he didnât. Because he knew he liked Gina from the moment she kissed his cheek in that orange bug after homecoming, weâve seen them flirt and weâve seen him shoot a shot several episodes after that and I donât know about you but i donât give a spin hug to my friends. He stopped pursuing Nini as soon as gina came into the picture and thatâs a fact, they didnât bring the rickyxnini couple storyline back until after Gina moved, he didnât actively pursue nini until Gina told him to stop calling and even then he kept texting her and we see him distracted throughout the next episode, the almost kiss didnât happen until after Gina had replied and told him they were leaving early, only once he knew gina was completely out of the picture, did he go back to nini. He said it himself, he reverted back to his old self because he didnât have gina in his life anymore and when gina told him she wouldnât quit on them if she wasnât moving away he genuinely looked upset about it as well. In episode 1 of season 2 at Ashlynâs new years even party, that boy did a Triple Take when gina went to get a root-beer, the feelings were still there, they were just buried because he didnât think he would see Gina again when he made his confession to Nini so he held on to what he used to know and who he used to be, because we all know that ricky bowen is not good with change. Now, in episode three of the season, the iconic valentines episode, The way he looks at her, the way his voice softens while talking to her, his line âI think youâll get yours too.â After gina told him that every girl likes a sweet gesture, THE NEXT SCENE BEING THE CHOCOLATES, the fact that ricky got messages from nini and gina only seconds apart but he only looked onto his face once ginaâs message came on, all of these things hint towards rickyâs feelings, even in 2x04 when Nini came to surprise the group in the bomb shelter, Ricky and Gina looked like they just got caught cheating even though all they did was talk and laugh. Last point, Episode five and six, He was in awe of gina when she was dancing (gina porter effect) and only went to gina for advice on nini because she had helped him the previous two times when he hadnât even actually asked for advice in 2x04 and 2x03, The boy probably thought she was trying to get over him. In the next episode even though she had already tried to break off contact with him, he still asked to partner up with her and smiled at her when she looked at him while saying she doesnât know what her heart desires. Even during Ashlynâs retention of home we see ricky look at gina when he comes back in. RICHARD BOWEN HAS ALWAYS HAD FEELINGS FOR GINA PORTER, THE SEASON 3 PLOT LINE WAS NOT RANDOM OR CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. Ricky just finally realized what he couldâve had if gina didnât move away once he lost it. RINA WAS ALWAYS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN AND BE ENDGAME. THEY DIDNT COME OUT OF NOWHERE OR ONLY HAPPENED BECAUSE OLIVIA LEFT. Because, fact-check Season 2 was filmed before the drivers-license drama, they did not break them up because things between liv and josh got tense. Your ship was not supposed to be endgame.
(In tomorrows post i will rant about the people who say that rina copied rini and portwells scenes And that gina is the new nini because literally where?)

1/2 Finally 4x01!!! The new intro started playing and he got up so fucking fast as if he was watching a game âWAIT WHAT?! THIS IS DIFFERENT! OH MY GOD THIS IS COOL AS FUCK! I like this more!! *tries to sing along while not knowing the song* ..cueâŠBEGINâŠpulse..YEAH i fuck with this. And of course the intro ends on Brian walking away. He is the moment!â âOhhhh Drag Queen moment! I fuck with this. Hi BRIAN! Look at them just hanging out in THEIR loft, damn he is broke as fuck, huh? *said in an affectionate aww type of voice* THEY ARE PARTNERS! He really hates accepting any type of help, huh? Brian maybe you should listen to your own advice from two seasons ago about a man knowing when to accept help. Wait shit, i just remembered the nothing noble about being poor thing. Well fuck Brianâ It briefly showed Mel and Linds and he was so disappointed until Britin popped up again âthis is what I want every episode, Brian and Justin. And thatâs itâ âI am genuinely surprised that Hunter and Mike havenât killed each other. Proud of themâ âBrian having lunch with Ben and Linds AND mel? Is he okay? Aw Brian and Justin being sarcastic is one of my favorite things in the world. (Deb says Mikey and her talk 3x a day) Okay, three times a day isâŠyeah. I mean even I donât..actually never mind. OH HE IS GONNA KILL EVERYONE IF THEY DONT STOP PITYING HIM. But Bri Bri you are broke as a jok- HA he is gonna steal Bald dudes clientsâ âi like this drag queen singing in between moments. Its been a while since I went to a drag show. I wonder if they miss me back home..i mean i did tell them I was leaving but still, i hope they miss me- oh ted. I was trying to forget that horrible party-BLAKEY! Iâm so happy that heâs good now. EMMETT! Im glad he came to visit but I rea- Ted what the hell is wrong with you? He didnât do shit wrong to you, why are you being bitchy? No Emy no, blakey didnt do anything wrong. But damn it i get Emy is hurt but fucking hell this isnt it. GIVE ME BRIAN BACKâ brian shows up on screen with Vance âHA WHAT DID I SAY? I CAN FEEL WHEN MY BOY IS UP! Wait that..sounds..weird. Of course he looks great, he always does. Oh so now you love him, fuck you baldy, Brian youre better than this. I like his hair. *does jazz hands* spikey. Oh baldy knows that Brian could destroy him if he pulls a Justin Timberlake and goes solo. DO IT BRI BRI! I didnt plan on him having his own company but DO IT!!!!â âHow did Mike already lose Hunte- HES HUSTLING AGAIN? *randomly starts laughing* Itâs really funny hearing Mike call him little asshole when theyâre the same height.â Ted and Blake are on right now where heâs cleaning the floor âohhhh i think this is gonna be bad. I hope im wrong because i like Blakey but this is looking like you know that thing where you get a crush on your savior or your therapist or something like that? I know my shit..i thinkâ âOH MY GOD WHAT DID THEY DO TO BRIANS CAR? Id rip their head off? I mean the car sucks but damn. Wait i forgot to focus on the important stuff: Brian looks good as fuck! CAN HE STOP KISSING HIM?â âITS BRIAN AGAIN!(Brian says âbecause no ones close friendship means more to me than yoursâ) aww Bri Bri, i feel the same way. Im glad you can agree that we have a deep connectio- OH HE IS GONNA GO SOLO! HES PULLING A BEYONCĂ! YOU GO GIRL! I really like the drag queen moments.. i miss my girls back home, i gotta call them.â âAW JUSTIN CAME UP WITH THE COMPANY NAME!! KINNETIK! I fuck with that. I think i need a new shirt (i said No at this point) *looks at me and does jazz hands* merch. Of course Blondie is the one to help him come up with the name. LOOK AT THEM ALL HAPPY AND IN LOVE! Aw they wanna hang out with Emy! I NEEDED THIS TRIO! Make them hang out like when they danced together. The new dream team!â
The new intro! It really reminds me of the OG intro to the OG Beverly Hills 90210 (not to date myself).
It is so hard to watch Emmett and Ted during this arc.
Brian looks sooooooo good in S4.
OH HE IS GONNA GO SOLO! HES PULLING A BEYONCĂ! Truly, I looked it up and she went solo in 2003 right as this was being filmed (if I've got my timelines correct).
AND YES JUSTIN CAME UP WITH KINNETIK. He's named both Gus and Kinnetik (swoon).
The new dream team - I wish!

Video
youtube
i am returning with yet another brainrot episode [dodges booing and tomatoes being thrown] of me annotating mitch youtube content.
this podcast episode with connor was ADORABLE and revealed a side of him that we rarely ever see otherwise SO...it has made my mitch hyperfixation at LEAST 5x worse. I say this so i can warn you to listen at your own peril (i say listen rather than watch bc mitch is like..in 240p the whole time and at certain points looks SO BLURRY he looks like an impressionist painting of a twink. how very renoir of him tbh).Â
I also recognize this video is long af (honestly i didnt know mitch knew this many words....very impressed) so iâm time-stamping every part that im annotating...... also this post got so long so iâm sorry. i KNOW i always say this but itâs bc im genuinely always surprised by my own verbose ass.,.,,,,.,,,,.,.,,,,, WHY DO I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY IM JUST LIKE MITCH FR I NEED TO STOP YAPPING (morgan rielly voice: âjust never shuts upâ)Â
1:35: mitch apparently loves oysters? honestly adding this only because itâs so cute when his face scrunches up and he throws his head back to laugh at 2:12 (also why is connorâs water glass so dirty what is HAPPENING)
3:21: mitch marner, self-proclaimed coffee aficionado and BEST coffee maker on the leafs, does not know what a chemex is. the look of blank confusion. i know what you are. a fraud who would rather be drinking capri suns and chocolate milk.
3:45: ok now we understand WHY mitch is always wearing a redbull hat (when heâs not wearing his recent assortment of ridiculous hat acquisitions like that powder blue hat with the HUGE BRIM or the orange prada bucket hat) - redbull just sends mitch HATS ON HATS ON HATS that heâs not even allowed to share as part of his agreement. i am now, in fact, asking redbull to send him EVEN MORE HATS so heâs less tempted to wear those hats heâs been wearing this off-season. redbull should just absolutely bury him in hats until he is no longer even visible. heâs not that big so it really shouldnât take that many hats!!! thatâs what i call a hat trick. thatâs what i call cap space [booing from audience intensifies]
6:25: WHY is a CONNOR CARRICK MITCH MARNER PODCAST HOW I FIND OUT THAT PK SUBBAN AND LINDSEY VONN WERE ENGAGED?!?!! WHAT IN THE SPORTS ROYALTY?
7:14: just connor gassing mitch up and then chirping him for looking like a newborn foal when he entered the league (mitch then chirps himself for what he looked like with his shirt off lmao - it always surprises me how self-aware he seems to be and how comfortable he seems to be with himself? genuinely endearing tbh)
9:34: mitch talking about how formative visiting the childrenâs hospital in london (with christian dvorak) 1-2x a week was for him and the âlegacyâ he wants to build as a hockey player. like. as a cynical human i understand that this podcast is meant to be a fluff piece thatâs beneficial for mitchâs reputation/brand, but as a human human i cannot help but be touched by how sincere mitch is about this. and more importantly, heâs shown it with his actions re: the genuine friendship he had with hayden, who mitch met during these hospital visits.Â
11:54: hearing about mitchâs contract issues from mitchâs POV is pretty interesting, and i believe this is the most extensively heâs ever spoken about it? it makes so much sense that mitchâs biggest priority was not wanting to miss training camp and pre-season. and that he had ZERO intention of leaving the leafs. im forever genuinely flabbergasted by that contingent of leafs fans who thinks mitch was the one in the room negotiating with kyle/the leafs and playing games to squeeze every last dollar out of them? like DO THEY KNOW MITCH? THE TWITCH STREAMER? my. brother in christ, this guy does not even know what an encyclopedia is. my brother in christ, this guy called his finnish teammate âfinlish.â ANYWAY, he talks pretty openly about the impact the contract negotiations and pressure had on him mentally
17:40: connor: what is your favorite part of being a toronto maple leaf? mitch: my friends đ„ș
19:54: mitch talking about how he just likes to check in âon his guysâ and connor pointing out that whenever he gets an assist or a goal in a game, he still gets texts from mitch. WHICH IS. SO SWEET. as someone who is absolutely fucking terrible at keeping in touch with people i am JUST. SORRY TO BE A SAP BUT THATS SO SWEET OF HIM? WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!! IM GOING TO EAT HIM!!!!!!
20:30: THIS IS THE BEST PART LOWKEY - THE NIKE SHOES STORY DODOHFODHOSHSODASODHFAIDHFLWJEFKDLJKSAS. IF U WATCH NOTHING ELSE PLEASE WATCH THIS. THE DAY CONNOR GOT MOVED FROM THE LEAFS AND WAS SAD MITCH JUST SHOWED UP WITH A GIANT PILE OF SHOES TO GIVE CONNOR AND CONNOR HAD TO BE LIKE âMITCH? I AM MOVING? I CANNOT TAKE ALL THESE SHOES???â THIS IS THE MOST MITCH MARNER STORY I HAVE EVER HEARD I CANNOT LIKE IVE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT IF I READ IT IN A FIC I WOULDVE BEEN LIKE âLMAOOO THIS AUTHOR NAILED MY HEADCANON OF MITCH BUT IRL MITCH WOULD NEVER DO THATâ BUT NO! HE DOES! HE HAS! the fairy godmother only gave cinderella one pair of glass slippers but mitch marner will show up at your doorstep with 10+ pairs of emotional support nikes that heâs been trying to give you for MONTHS because he loves you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Â
24:45: Mitch talking about how the award heâd want to win the most is the Selke - and given how great Mitch has been this past season offensively AND defensively AND on the PP AND on the PK??? give minch the selke send tweet.Â
28:30: when Mitch was drafted by London he was 5âČ6âł and 125lbs DLKDLKSJA HE WAS fucking TEENSY! please! i 100% could have carried him around in a fanny pack with my wallet and keys and a granola bar and the 3-4 random crumpled receipts from walgreens
30:16:Â âwhenever people ask me what it was like playing with mitchy, i always tell them he has the ability to rubiksâ cube the game.â i LOVE This and i will be using this expression from now on, even though i have never solved a rubikâs cube and never will!
46:20: I would say this is the 2nd really meaty part of this podcast? Itâs where Connor and Mitch talk about Mitchâs draft day experience. When Mitch talks about how NERVOUS he was when Toronto went up to draft their 4th pick i started laughing because if you watch the 2015 draft video you can SEE JUST HOW PETRIFIED AND TERRIFIED AND CLOSE TO SHITTING HIMSELF THEN THROWING UP THEN FAINTING AND DISINTEGRATING INTO A PILE OF DRIED UP LEAVES MITCH LOOKS LMAO. like that boy was on the brink of death. also, really interesting details behind Phoenix Coyotes drafting Dylan at third right before Mitch here!
51:47: The 3rd meaty (auston-y :---))))) ) part of this podcast: Mitch talking about THE BABCOCK INCIDENT where babcock made mitch grade his teammates on work ethic. Mitch talks about it with a lot of levity and positivity tbh but hearing mitch even joke and laugh about it makes me sad because it clearly was a really awful experience for him to go through as a rookie. knowing how close mitch was and is to those 3 guys at the bottom - tyler bozak, naz, JVR (his recent italian escapade buddy) - is definitely comforting tho. BOOING BABCOCK FOREVER FOR THIS TBH. like WHAT were you aiming to get out of this and why the hell would you ever put a ROOKIE in this impossible situation?
55:46:Â THE FINAL MEATY PART OF THIS PODCAST: THE MATT MARTIN SECTION. honestlyyyyY. just watch this part from beginning to end pls because mitch clearly loves and treasures matt SO much and thereâs SO much here that will make you want to gnaw gnaw gnaw chew chew chew scream ferally and SUE connor carrick for your upper body injury (heart hurts)... but anyway, a few highlights:Â
Mitch calling Marty a protector, a big brother, and âhow big of a mentor he was to meâ - i WILL CRY!!!!!!! I WILL!!!!! THATS MY FAVE LEAFS SHIP RIGHT THEREÂ
âHe was all for me shooting a puck off his leg or his ass.â every other time Mitch opens his mouth he says something that makes me go âwait ..what did he say?â and have to re-listen. this is one of those moments
the FUNNIEST story about how connor and matt almost fought when they played for different teams because matt found connor so annoying. i wonât spoil the details but i - i def cackled out loud
âyou just felt 2 feet taller with matt aroundâ đ„șđ„șđ„ș ok thatâs fine tHATS FINEÂ
OH GOD. THE worst part: Mitch talks about how Matt and Syd would always invite him over and make sure Mitch never felt alone his rookie year, and how this experience of feeling included and loved by Matt shaped the kind of teammate/friend Mitch tries to be aka making sure his home and heart are always open to his teammates. I....IâM. YâALL. HOLD MY HAND AND STAY WITH ME BECAUSE LIKE - think about the way bogo (esp when his family was away during covid) and justin lived with mitch and how the leafs all clearly love mitch so much and how mitch says he always tries to be the positive energy guy for his team AND I JUST . LETHAL PSYCHIC DAMAGE SUFFERED FROM THIS PART OF THE PODCAST TBH BRAIN JUST LEAKIN OUT THROUGH MY EARHOLES AS I CRAWL INTO A CORNER.

Your Happy Ending.
Summary: You have your happy ending with Diluc. He was there to mend what Kaeya destroyed. It isnt the ending Kaeya wants.
Part 2 of He Was Supposed To Be Yours.
Part 3: You Were Supposed To Be His
Genre: fluff and a bit of angst.
Pairing: Diluc x Reader (fluff) Kaeya x Reader (angst and very little of the pair)
Warnings: like one swear word and it is kinda long
Word Count: 1,325
A/N: Thank you @reveltica for requesting a part 2 and thank you @imnikki for the idea :D. I... may have went a bit to overboard on the relationship with Diluc so no jealous Kaeya is in this but I promise I will do a part 3 of this v soon. I also changed the title of part 1 to 2nd person bc it really didnt fit. Anyways, thank you for reading <33
You never actually had such a malicious intention to break Kaeya using his brother and you still don't. Even through all the torment and emotionally abusive things Kaeya has done to you, using an innocent person is unfathomable to you. Diluc managed to hurt Kaeya because he wanted to court you. I'll give an overview of how you got to the point of a relationship.Â
After you saw what Kaeya did, you avoided him. There was no dramatic fight nor was there any confrontation about what you witnessed. He just⊠stopped being in your life. Of course you needed to let him know you guys were over so you opted to just send him a letter that you wrote while drinking at Angel's Share.Â
Dear Kaeya,
I knew you never wanted me so I will let you go. I hope you are happier with Traveler.Â
Y/N xx
Those kisses were meaningless and you hoped he would see the humour in that last sentence. Tears still welled up as you wrote that. Emotions were hard to get rid off after all. Diluc saw this. Everytime you entered the Tavern, his eyes lingered on your graceful figure but always lowered his gaze whenever you would run into Kaeya's arms. Diluc was conflicted at the time. How dare he hold feelings for you while his brother held you. That feeling never left after seeing you hiding from Kaeya whenever you were both in the bar. I mean, you were his brother's ex. Oh but how he wanted to indulge in a relationship with you.Â
That all changed one week. Kaeya was out on a mission for a week so you allowed yourself to meander around Mondstadt with finally a genuine smile on your glowing face. The townspeople, who knew of the situation, were affected by your change in mood and soon, the whole town of Mondstadt shared a similar feeling.Â
A night alone at your house felt lovely but now you could roam around, so you decided to go to the tavern to waste all your money on alcohol. You seated yourself at the bar so you could get your drinks quicker. This was something you never did and Diluc realised that. He was aware of his brother's absence and was rather grateful because he got to see the gorgeous smile you rarely showed after the break up. It really suited your face and he couldn't help but fall for you again. This time there weren't any problems with his feelings.Â
"Hi Diluc! May I have a glass of dandelion wine?" Your energetic voice filled his ears, soothing him like a melody Venti would play. You noticed his⊠dazed look so you called out to him. His eyes widened a bit and began to process your request.
"Sorry. Let me get that for you." When he turned to prepare your drink, a dust of pink covered his cheeks. Diluc gave you the drink, with a bit of fumbling. You took a sip of the wine and the refreshing taste cleansed your palate. The drink dwindled and but there was still a craving for more. After a lot few glasses, your speech started to slightly slur and you that familiar lightheaded feeling comes that happenes everytime you drink. However, there is warmth surrounding you instead of that empty and icy feeling that always hurts.
"Aaah Diluc, your drinks are always the best. You're just what I need," you looked up at him and was met with an averted gaze on flustered face. You continued to praise him, "Diluc, I am being serious. I really like being around you. It makes me feel so warm and comforting. Are you my panacea or something?"
"I-I think you've drunk a bit too much." Diluc slipped the glass out of your grasp and placed it behind him, while you were frowning and holding his arm to get it back.
"Please let me have one more drink," You begged and gave his arm a little squeeze. This resulted in you stating, "Oh my! How big are your muscles? Sheesh, you're so strong!" An innocently intended question made Diluc jolt his arm back and the colour of his faced matched his hair. Startled by his sudden movements you immediately apologised. You may have been drunk but you still knew when you messed up.
"It's not your fault. I was just... surprised what you said and if you keep drinking, you won't be able to walk back home."
"Then you can walk me home. If that is okay with you that is." He informed you that it will be really late by the time he can walk you home. You responded with, "It's okay. I can wait for you."
And so, you and Diluc got closer than ever. The conversations shared that night flowed with ease.
The walk home was filled with laughter and subtle glances. The night air felt uncomfortable on your skin as goosebumps were raised to keep your body warm despite Diluc feeling like a portable heater next to you. Diluc saw your hands rubbing your bare arms in attempt to gain heat so he plopped his large coat onto you. The smell of alcohol and sweat invaded your senses but it wasn't as bad of a smell as you would think. You nestled into the oversized coat and wished you could stay in it forever.
"My apologies that it doesn't smell good."
"Don't worry about it. It smells homely and your coat is really comfy." He let out a light chuckle and you continued the conversation.
You told him the story of how you once got your ass handed to you by a whopper flower. An embarrassing yet humorous tale. The dim street lights eluminated Diluc's face to bless your eyes with his tender smile, obviously smiling at your ridiculous telling of the story. In return, he told you âone of manyâ stories he has about things that happened while he was working at the Tavern. As that story came to a close, you were at the doorstep of you house.
"Thank you for walking me home! I had a lovely time with you today. Here is your coat back." Taking it off, your body was exposed to the chilling air, which made you shiver slightly. It was a shame you had to take it off. It was really fun to wear.
"I hope it was able to keep you warm," Diluc took it into his hands and put the coat back on him. "If it is okay with you, can I take you on a date?"
"Only if you give me a hug." You attempted to be playful only resulted in you wanting to die of embarrassment more than when you told that story. However, Diluc immediately embraced you. He didn't want to miss the opportunity to hug you and get a date with you. The hug was unlike any other. You relaxed into his hug absorbing the heat he emitted. His hand was carefully placed your waist and the back of your head. He curled up around you and held you close, as if you were about to leave him for good. You decided that the hug would definitely happen again.
His embrace weakened but was still unwilling to let go. Soon after, he withdrew himself from the hug. "I'll pick you up at 6." With that, he walked away.
Despite how reserved he is, Diluc was very good company that night. He was also very good company for the following days that soon turned into weeks.
You hopelessly and utterly fell for the red head that brought you the company you craved. Unlike how you begged Kaeya for attention, with Diluc, it felt healthy. It felt right. You got your happy ending with Diluc and you are happier than ever with him.
However, Kaeya found out that you and Diluc. Needless to say, he wanted his "doll" back.

moriarty the patriot headcannons pt. 1
| requested by anon: Can you write about all male characters in moriarty has a same look of their children and hpw many children they want? |
william x reader; louis x reader; albert x reader; sebastian x reader; fred x reader
word count: 2397
pt. 2: 221b boys
a/n: I DONT KNOW WHY I DIDNT WRITE THIS EARLIER IM SO SORRY THIS REQUEST HAS LITERALLY BEEN IN MY INBOX FOR SO LONG I AM SO SORRY I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS
william: 487 words
with his whole plan to clean the world of the filthy nobles, william never really stopped to think about having children
well, until he met you
you both were in town one day and he saw you fondly watching a child speak with her mother
âi think two children would be niceâ
âi didnât even askâ
âi know, but the look you gave that mother was telling enoughâ
n e ways he is a simp and he did eventually give you what you wanted
fast forward a few years, you have two children: a boy and a girl
and they look exactly like their father
like,, it lowkey pains you how much they physically take after their father
you wanted to be like âoh they have your personality, but they look just like me!â
no
granted, your son took after you in an emotional sense but your daughter was a daddyâs girl through and through
like she looks like him, she acts like him, speaks like him, she even EATS like him
ok but the men w your children
fred is a freaking sweetheart ok
like heâll watch over the kids when no one has the time and they love him too so theyâll help out in the garden which you are SO thankful for
tbh they only like uncle albert bc he brings them lil trinkets from when he gets back from london LMAO
louis doesnât show it, but he absolutely adores your children and makes extra snacks for them at tea time
you caught onto this at one point bc for some REASON your kids would not stop bouncing off of the walls before bed and they told you uncle louis gave them chocolate
and sebastian loves messing w your kids bc,,, sebastian
but he accidentally made your son cry ONCE and he was at the mercy of every adult in the moriarty estate including the boyâs younger sister
needless to say, he watched his actions and words around your children after that
now, william
iâm just gonna say this straight out: most of the men never really thought about having kids (save john and albert)
but when you finally had kids, william had a different outlook on life
like fr,, this man works overtime now trying to get rid of the filth that is called nobles
he doesnât want his kids to be raised in a world where just because you have more money than another means you get to look down on them
you still instill in them those good morals ofc
he also tries to be very present in their lives since he and his brother were raised as orphans
when he was younger, he didnât mind it all much
but now that he had this small family and a brighter future, he did everything in his power to make sure theyâre happy and grow up in a cleaner and kinder world
louis: 320 words
it took you a week to get him to at LEAST humor you
âif you could, how many kids do you want?â
ânoneâ
like, this guy is so dedicated to his brother and his cause it is a WONDER you somehow wormed your way into his heart
but you did and honestly, the brothers are actually very happy that youâre with them
william especially
louis rarely emotes but when you came into their lives, you got louis pissed at one point and everyone was like,,,, wtf?? he has emotions???
anyways, his answer is one kid LMAO
and when you get that one kid, he looks just like louis
yall already KNOW that heâs ready to die for that child as soon as louis holds him in his arms
the only kid sebastian wouldnt even try to mess with
he can deal with williamâs albertâs or fredâs kids but louis lowkey intimidates him so heâs as nice as he can be
that being said, louis teaches his kid how to properly handle stuff around the house
you want to cry bc ur son is just so??? the little kid just loves helping out no matter how small the task and heâs just so cute it hurts
even sebastianâs kinda like,, âaight heâs the only kid i will tolerateâ
louis grew up with only his brothers so he also wants to give his son a shot at a normal family
is actually aware at how he thinks heâs indispensable for williamâs cause and he doesnât want his son to end up like him
he also teaches his son some badass fighting moves
oh and louis smiles a lot more too
cried bc his son saw the scar he got on his cheek, rubbed some dirt on his lil face and said âi have daddyâs cool scar nowâ
all in all his son is the best thing to happen to all of you
albert: 505 words
same as louis in the fact that it takes him a week to answer
âyou know you havenât even answered my questionâ
âiâm sorry, what did you say?â
âhow many kids do you want?â
genuinely takes time to ponder that question
he hadnât thought of that since his family adopted william and louis
but with you?
âi think two darling girls who take after their mother is enough for meâ
pls heâd be so sweet đ„șđ„șđ„ș
you two end up having a girl and a boy, who look just like their father
and tbh, youâre not even mad
you love them so much so when albert comes back north, the three of you are ecstatic
the happiness was short lived for albert tho
he found his son spending time with william and thereâs nothing bad right????
âwhereâs your sister?â
âsheâs with mr. moranâ
his heart DROPPED
out of all the people in the manor
HIM
he sees the two running around the garden
it all happened as soon as albertâs daughter went up to sebastian and said âyouâre very pretty! youâre my knight now!â
he decided to âadoptâ the little girl and now heâs lowkey whipped
you found albert staring at sebastian playing with his daughter and updated him about everything going on
âbut him??â
âheâs just a big softie for her let it goâ
isnât really surprised when he finds out they can fight a little
actually glad that they can hold their own, God forbid anything happens to them
otherwise mi6 has to deal w family matters lmao
âalbert, she only trippedâ
âyou shouldve seen the fear in her eyes as she fellâ
âIT WAS A STRAY COBBLESTONEâ
would raise hell if anyone even THOUGHT ill of his kids
william and louis are the doting uncles
william more so than louis bc your kids have never seen louis smile
now theyâre on a mission to make uncle louis smile
louis was on child duty one day and they managed to slip away
omyGOD he was stressed but also,, extremely worried
so when he found them he had the most genuine smile on his face
your daughter was like (ă»âă»)
she loves uncle louis
ofc your son adores his dad like,,, who else wouldn't feel awesome at the age of 10 if you found out your dad was a high ranking general
feels superior to sebastian bc of his dad
lmao this 4â5 kid thinks he can rule sebastian for some odd reason
the house is always dirty bc him and sebastian always prank each other
your daughter is trying to catch a butterfly but she canât so fred helps
instantly loves fred
âis that what heartbreak isâ
âi guess thatâs what happens when you try to get close to my kids colonelâ
albert is kind of afraid of turning into his dad but he has you and everyone else to remind him that: no you are not your father, you are so much better than him
loves your family with his entire being
sebastian: 844 words
âi see you looking at those kids and the answer is noneâ
lmao youâll get so pouty around him bc you want kids dammit
that and he spoils you to no end so that's why youâre pouty lol
âfine weâll only do one kid and bc one kid is all i can tolerateâ
bruh
this man gives you three in four years LMFAO
two boys a year apart and a girl in the fourth year
you wanted to smack sebastian
when the two boys grew up, it was obvious they were already taking after their father in the physical sense
it was terrifying
they genuinely look like mini sebastians and you know everyone in the manor is afraid that you two birthed satan
and the satan was your eldest one
heâs just a feral sebastian moran in a tiny body
your second son, god bless him, looked just like his father but with fredâs temperament
and see, you were fine with your sons looking like their father
it was FINE right
you prayed to God that your third child would have at least some physical resemblance to you
your daughter was birthed, she grew up
and you cried
âHOW DO THEY ALL LOOK LIKE YOUâ
âiâve got some strong genetics, babyâ
you sulk for a lil bit
but you accept it anyway because you love your goddamn kids
thankfully, your second and youngest child are both soft spoken and it's only your husband and his tiny clone bringing hell to earth
smacking sebastian bc all of your children suddenly started swearing up a storm at each other
âWHYD YOU HIT MEâ
âYOURE THE ONLY ONE WHO SWEARS AROUND THE KIDSâ
finally sitting down and trying to convince them to stop swearing
âfather does it!â
âyour fatherâs stupidâ
speaking of your daughter
sheâs his little princess and no he will not take criticism
spoils her more than he spoils you
did she glance at a toy at a passing store?
he buys more toys than he should from said store
you have to physically hide some of his money bc there is only so much you can buy
and her older brothers are so caring you want to sob
if a person accidentally shoved her over bc she was tiny and they couldnât see her
oh boy
get ready to restrain them like chihuahuas
âlittle sister will be protected at all costsâ
since his second son is so different from him, sebastian actively makes time to talk about what the little boy is doing and what heâs getting from it
doesnât want to be pushy and suffocating like his dad was so when his younger kid does want to be left alone to his devices, sebastian does so
but honestly loves that your second son is so literate
lddhsajdsfk what yall dont know is that theyâre all in cahoots
kinda funny to see them all together bc they all take after their father so much it's like having three tiny sebastians go around town
anyways,,,, yall know the promised neverland right
you got ray, norman, and emma
granted one of them wasnât as smart as ray but he definitely knew what stealth was
regular sibling rivalry was still a thing but if they could smell the pudding from the kitchen, they know they have to work together
sebastian caught his eldest smuggling biscuits into a small bag
he had half a mind to scold him
but then he ended up giving tips TO ALL HIS CHILDREN on how not to get caught next timeâ
bc of this they beg him to tell them some stories from afghanistan bc âthereâs no way a man as old as dad knows this many stealth tacticsâ
louis is so fed up lmao
albert is in london most of the time so he just thanks the lord that he doesnât have to deal w the propaganda that sebastian feeds his children about how âmr. albert is a bad manâ
william is fine w it as long as they donât trash the library
your younger ones love the library so they would cry at the thought of one of the books losing any of the pages
your second and your daughter are definitely the moriartysâ favorites
they donât show it, but you just KNOW
your eldest could care less about that though
as long as you and his father still love him
and of course you both do
and fred is definitely your youngers favorite
they like to hang out in the garden
ok they still fight all the time though
just because your second child is soft spoken doesn't mean heâs afraid to throw hands
their sister likes to join in for the hell of it
but if someone wrongs any of the children
just because the younger ones are the moriartysâ favorite, doesnât mean that theyâre not gonna hunt someone down if they even think about trying to hurt the eldest too
yeah,,, good luck to them and their families
they got the entire moriarty estate coming after them
fred: 241 words
cmon yall are like,, young
but you did ask him bc you were curious if he thought about it
he wants one
and when yall do have the kid, you guys actually do have one kid and its a girl
since you both are young, you can immediately see a resemblance between her and her father
everyone who meets her would die for her
ABSOLUTE CUTIE
especially when she walks around the garden w her hand in her dadâs and heâs showing her all the plants and telling her how to take care of them
needless to say she grows up loving plants
any type of plant
the boys love giving her flowers or anything from bc she has the biggest smile every single time
no matter if itâs just a single rose or a rock
this was found out one time when sebastian gave her a rock bc everyone else had given her like,, two roses each
was afraid she was gonna cry
âthank you so much mr. moran! i will treasure this until i get old!â
she was like 4 at the time
and had the widest smile youâve ever seen on her
guys u donât understand she smiles a lot but this was like,, genuine happiness
but everyone was just,, i will destroy the world and myself if anything happens to her
fr itâs just sunshines and rainbows every single time sheâs around
everyone just loves her ok

Why do you care?
Kevin is 17, and his sister (the reader) is around 15 1/2. I also made up a Villian b/c I didnt feel like dealing with canon ones.
(Platonic) Kevin x sister! Reader | reader uses she/her pronouns, and is referred to by feminine terms.
âWhat is it Harvey? And whereâs Mom?âÂ
Kevin's back leans against the door frame, glaring down at his step father. The older man puts his palms on the granet of the kitchen island. âYour mother is resting. But- it's your sister.â An eyebrow cocks as his crossed arms get tighter. âYeah, what about her?â You had never been a topic of discussion, nothing ever came up about you. You werenât the better of the two of you, but you were quiet. Almost more of a ghost than you are a person. So what about you could this possibly be about?
Thereâs a sigh, tired shoulder slumping. âShe hasnât been home in three days... Your mother noticed that she was gone earlier today, now sheâs worried sick, and after all of our searching and calling- nothing.â A scoff bursts from Kevin, shocked and a little impressed. Had you finally mustered up the courage to run away? Shit. Color him surprised.Â
âSo? Why am I here? Ain't that the policeâs job?â âNow you know better than anyone-âÂ
The man stops himself, quite obviously exhausted. âThey won't look for a teen because they assume sheâs shacked away with some boy, but she isnât that type of kid.â Kevinâs back separates from the wood, obviously ready to leave. âYouâd think, trust me sheâll be home in no time. She probably got tired, and ran off-â âNo, no, no. Youâre wrong about your sister, she wouldnât. She isnât like that. She isnât like-â It catches, but itâs a little too late. A knife to wound too sore as well. Brows furrow, and the younger man steps forward.Â
âNot like me? Yeah. I know.âÂ
The stare they hold is incredibly tense, thereâs no going back from that. âSheâs a young girl, and everyone knows how the world treats them. Please.â The look on his step fathers face was one of genuine concern. Understandable, seeing as how you all got to be a family when he ran away. Heâs probably right tooâŠ
âFine- whatâs her phone number?âÂ
With a little rewiring of leftover tech he had in his trunk, he could track the pings of your phone. A bright pink flip phone you had bought for yourself, as Harvey had told him. The most recent ping was caught on a cell tower next to a lot of âabandonedâ warehouses in a small town just outside of Bellwood. One he used to know well. That place used to be the best place to meet. Whenever a weapons deal was set to meet there, it was almost always a good night. Why the hell were you there?
And thatâs where he was headed. To one of the places he never should have been, after his little sister. Yay for him.Â
Most of the buildings here were worn down, waiting to be sold or getting moved out of by old family businesses. It was just that. That and the sky. The damn sky. You had always been so fixated on it, when you were kids- or rather- before he ran away. You would stare out the car window on drives home, looking up at the speckled darkness, spouting off random facts about space. Ma and Harvey never paid attention, it was always him. You would reach out for his hand- and like a big brother- he would give you it. You were so happy, he could feel the energy pulsating from you.Â
So many times heâd accidentally hurt you like that, but you never once were afraid of him.Â
The bubble on the glowing holo-map became visible, and that means he was nearing you. He wasnât annoyed at this situation, not a first. Honestly, he felt a little sad that it had to be you. For the first time it was you, why couldnât it have been him again? But the closer he got to you, the more mad he felt. It was only a matter of time before his family got involved with his past, or his current job, more than they already have. If someone had chosen you to get to him, or the Tennysonâs, they had no idea what theyâre getting into.Â
But if this was all you, heâs gonna rip you a new one.Â
-
There was a large hand wrapped snugly around the good majority of your waist. Now, you werenât exactly a thin lady, but the size of the paw of the man whose lap you sat on was large enough to make you look as thin as a supermodel.Â
It was a little sketchy being in here, the building itself was dim and dingy, and would be worth little if it werenât for all the alien tech housed here. Truth be told, you didnât really like being here- or him for that matter. The whole alien weapon trade made you uncomfortable, but... Three months ago you had befriended a guy, and eventually he had trusted you enough to take you to meet his boss. The poor guyâs behavior and quickness to trust ended with him getting... âMIAâ of sorts. Even after that, the boss had taken a liking to you.Â
And thatâs why you were here and had been for the last few days, it was the attention. His dangerous and powerful man wanted you around, took a liking to you- or at least found you pretty enough to be his eye candy. A lap accessory to sit and look pretty while he made important, and illegal deals. It made you feel nice. You feel special, important, seen, for once. Finally for once.Â
âWell, Havenât you been good all day?â He said with a doubled voice, one that scraped on your ear drums like sandpaper. His fingers squeeze lightly on your waist. Other than his voice, size, and some other minor details- he resembled a human enough for you to be okay with all of the touching and flirting- I mean, if it ever got too bad you could result in using your fathers genes to get away. (Not that you actually know how to use them, but theyâre there.) You shrug, laying your head heavily on his bicep and batting your eyelashes like a mechanical doll.Â
âSo pretty tooâŠâ He brings his other large hand to your face, the fingernail of his forefinger trailing down from your cheekbone to the point of your jaw. An involuntary giggle leaves you. Again, you donât like him⊠but you donât remember the last time someone called you pretty, or held you this close. âIf it werenât for you against me, everyoneâs staring would have made me jealous.â It was obvious how flustered you were, his toadies scrambling out of the area. âWhy would I ever want anyone who would just stare, when I have you?â You say through an internal laugh. Does he actually believe I like him? Eh, the attention was nice either way.Â
Loud noises come from outside, but it just sounded like every other trade off so it didnât raise any other suspicions. Toadies loudly unloading the goods, getting in fights with each other ect. During the night, this would have been unacceptable.
He leans down, a light hold on your chin, obviously going in with a kiss. You let it happen, leaning in and everything. His warm breath on your lips like a tease, a chuckle leaving him like nails on a chalkboard. âI think⊠Iâm gonna keep you.âÂ
The main door bursts open- Wait, no. It doesnât burst open. It bursts off of itâs hinges, the force used against it causing it to fold in half midair, eventually sloping down and sliding against the ground. The screech worse than the grate of the voice youâve been forced to hear all day. The sandwiched door slid to a halt right in front of you like an example. An appetizer for the main course. The doorway leeched in bright light, but part of it was blacked out by a silhouetted figure. Heaving chest, and now concrete fists clenched tight.
Fuck. Itâs your brother.Â
A knot forms in your throat, your heart dropping to the pits of your stomach like it had become pure lead. His eyes are fixated on you, brows furrowed, stance changing from the one he threw the punch in. Storming in straight for you, footsteps echoing through the entire building. Your companion straightens out, that awful chuckle leaving him once again. âKevin Levin. Back to finish what we star-âÂ
âStuff it Caietanus, Iâm not here for you.âÂ
Kevin drops your full name with all the fury in his voice of an agitated mother. The hand on your waist tightens to a painful amount, squeezing a gasp out of you. âYou- Youâre a Levin!?â Rage fills his voice quicker than anything. Your entire body begins to shoot from hot to cold over and over again, anxiety flooding your persons. Your hands quickly moved to his, trying to pry it from your waist. âUhâŠâ âIâm just here to take her home, not for you. If you want to finish our shit, fine, but youâre gonna let her go.âÂ
Caietanus raises from his seat, keeping his hold on your waist. Letting out a squeal, thrashing in his hold. Kevin drops into a squat, his hand presses flat on the concrete floor and soon enough his entire body is encased in concrete. At that moment, you wished you could do that. But currently, the only control you have over your own abilities is for them not to go off randomly. After all, no one had been around to teach you how to use them growing up- or ever made the effort to help in the past few years.Â
They charged each other, lackeys rushing in from every which way- most of them had average strength. So it would be a breeze for Kevin. Caietanus on the other handâŠÂ
-
The feeling of the car moving helped calm you down a bit, but the overwhelming silence was indicative of the reaming you were about to get. You swallow a small bit of saliva down a desert dry throat, aimlessly tapping your fingers on your thighs in waiting for the hell to start. Eyes glued to your hands.
Heâs got a large scrape on his cheek, and it itches more than it hurts, but itâs bothering him. His fingers tap against the wheel as he thinks. This whole situation could have been avoided. He just fought a whole following by himself for you, and you havenât said shit since you got in the car. Eyes shift over to you, finally looking away from your lap and out the window at the passing landscape.Â
âYouâre welcome.â His voice cuts through the lack of sound. Part of you wanted to throw yourself into a tearful apology, but the other- the other was his sister. âFor what? I didnât need your help.â You prop up your jaw on your hand as a scoff leaves him, your lips pressed into a pout. It was obvious he only saw you as a brat, who cares what happens now? âYou sure? Because when he had you up, you couldnât exactly get out of his hand.â You follow this up with an angry groan.Â
âIt wouldnât have happened if you never showed up in the first place!â
The breaks screech as youâre jolted forward, almost knocking your head forward and into the dashboard. Maybe that was what he was going for? You hadnât meant to raise your voice, but you did, and there is no taking it back now. He turns to you, and heâs mad, not as mad as before- but definitely more miffed. âAnd what would have happened when he found out you were related to me, and I wasnât there? Huh?â Your entire body felt rigid, but amongst the want to hold your ground came an overwhelming wave of happiness- but also, the want and need to curl up and cry.Â
âNothing! Because he wouldnât have found out. Iâm not reckless.â A momentary smile caused by the words you said and was followed by yet another angry scoff. âYeah right, getting involved with illegal trade of alien tech isnât reckless?â You smile back, cocky. âItâs not because I donât care about the damn weapons deals!â Thinking you were winning, your voice got louder.Â
âThen why were you there? To arm candy?â âDing! Ding! Ding! Fucking hit the nail on the head Kev, it only took you two minutes! New record!â His angry smile drops, expression twisting in confusion. Your shoulders drop with a sigh, rolling your eyes and sitting back up against the seat. âThink about it? Where else am I gonna get attention from, Dumbass? Mom? Harvey?â You pause, his expression unchanged. A light laugh leaving you. âSure as hell wonât be getting it from you!â Arms cross over your chest, sitting forward completely and looking out at the road in front of you.Â
âJust hurry up and take me home so I can get back to being forgotten by everyone.âÂ
Those words hit him harder than any hit from just a few minutes ago. âYou actually think-â âWhen did mom notice that I was gone? When was the last time any of you did anything pertaining to me?â He doesnât answer, and you know. He returns to his resting position, hands on the wheel, but he doesnât start driving. âYeah right, Brat.âÂ
Your finger nails dig into your skin, teeth gritting. âFine, maybe I am. Thatâs fine. Iâm still right.â The car begins to move again, a lot slower than it usually does. A snail's pace, really. He looks straight on, eyes glued on the barely passing road in front of him, his neutral expression holding. It was obvious that he was trying to prolong the drive, for your own torment, to give himself time to think, for whatever reason. Your fingers tap ideally at your bicep, his forefinger tapping on the steering wheel.Â
The tapping syncs up, a symphony of idle motion and deep angry sighs. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. A car drives up behind, coming to a similar slow pace for a few minutes. Soon after, they begin to lay on the horn. The slow car, loud horn, literally everything that just went down⊠âGod will you fucking speed up already!?â The moment it leaves your mouth, the other car swerves around and drives off. A smug smile spreads on your brother's face.Â
âWell, would you look at that? No reason to speed up now.â You let out a growl. âWhat the hell is up your ass now?â âWhat? Iâm driving you back to Maâs. Isnât that what you want?â Your hands slam down in your lap, throwing your head back with a groan. âDo you, like, get off on torturing me? Is this how you make up for-â You stop yourself. âYou know what? No. Iâll just keep quiet.â The car stops moving again, and you now have his full attention.Â
âFinish.âÂ
You turn your head, lips sealed, your eyes shutting along with it. âNo, I want to know what you were going to say!â You keep your mouth shut, eyes shutting tighter. His brow furrows deep, lips pressed to a flat line. âYou know what I think? I think youâre a spoiled brat. You got to have Mom and Harvey your entire childhood. I havenât done anything to mess with your life-â Then, you snap. âReally!?â
You donât hesitate to turn his way, your face hot with anger. âI know you think everything negative that happened when we were kids was only your burden to bear- but youâre wrong. When you ran away, I became obsolete. Ma and Harvey couldnât care less about me, all they wanted was to find you. All I wanted was for them to find you. I taught myself to be small and to need nothing because they just- just- forgot me! And when you ran away, you left me with a family who hates both of us for being freaks. Remember that? Did you think that that stopped happening the moment you left!? And I never learned how to control- whatever the hell is wrong with me. You were never there!â You look down at your hands, and theyâre shaking like a bad California day.Â
ïżœïżœI know that some things happened to you that didnât to me, and that you were just a scared little kid- I know. I understand. It shouldn't have happened, and you didnât deserve any of it. But I needed you. I needed you more than anyone, you are the only possible person I could ever relate to or help me⊠But you left me KevâŠâÂ
Your chest heaves with strained breaths used to push out your cracking voice. Your brother before you turns into a watercolor as your emotion overflows your body. Hot tears stream down your face as you struggle to keep your âabilitiesâ from going haywire. âI know you hate me, and Iâm sorry it took me so long to realize- but I canât understand that type of crap. I thought I was doing something wrong growing up, and I tried so hard to do everything I could to make you happy⊠I just wanted you to like me.âÂ
You sit up fully, sucking in deep breaths to calm yourself as your back presses flat against the car seat. You close your eyes again, letting the silence take over, and the wetness of your face air dry. A soft âtshâ leaves him. Not as a spiteful remark, but involuntarily. You feel that he doesnât look away. âSquirt-â âIâm sorry. Just take me home, please.â It comes out as more of a pitiful squeak than an actual request.Â
âYeah. Alright.âÂ
Itâs a normal pace this time, 10 or 15 over the speeding limit, a normal pace for him. You press your warm face against the glass, the cool feeling soothing the overwhelming warmth. You felt selfish. You felt stupid. Most of all, you felt weak. Youâve never once broken down like that to anyone, never had the chance to. Maybe thatâs why you did, it was a moment of weakness and the only chance you had. It felt good, somewhat. More like the relief of scratching at a bug bite even though you know itâs gonna get worse afterwards. Whatever. Youâll just go home, go to bed, and all of this will be nothing but a memory.Â
Man he fucked up. Kevin hadnât meant to make you cry, he didnât even want to go off- but he did. How the hell does he come back from that? He swallows down the guilt and keeps driving. He glances over at you, puffy face pressed against the glass and pressed against the door to be farther away from him. Your left arm had fallen, limp beside you on the seat. He kept glancing back at it and you. There are childhood memories that mirror your exact look.Â
All of the sudden, he takes your hand. When you look over at him, his eyes are still on the road, expression unchanging. Looking down at your joined hands, his is so much larger than yours. He always has been, even making fun of your height when you were kids. The corners of your lips twitch upwards just slightly, and you give his hand a light squeeze.
Heâs still your big brother, no matter what.Â
-6 1/2 years prior-
Kevin was squished in the middle seat, between the stuff Ma had put in the other seat and your booster seat. It was dark out after a long day, and everyone was tired. Ma Driving with Harvey in the front seat, both of them sitting silent and annoyed. Well, everyone but you. You had your eyes locked out at the sky, spouting off more facts about space that no one really wanted to hear. You didnât ever seem to notice that no one cared about what you learned in quiet reading time.
âOur sun is actually green, our eyes just arenât right to see it! And- and- `` ''Thatâs nice sweetie, could you maybe not talk about that right now?â Your stepfather said as he turned to look at you. Heâs offering a small smile, but you didnât understand what he meant. âUm, okay! Well the moon-â âNo, honey. Itâs time to be quiet. Mommy is driving and youâre being distracting.â Ma puts in.Â
Kevin watches as all of the light drains from your face, your smile melting into an uncharacteristic frown. Your eyes shift from the sky above, to the passing plants and pavement. They did that often. They would stop him from having any fun, or you from talking about your happy things. He got used to it after a while, but you always seemed to be hurt by it every single time. You never did seem to get used to anything like that, maybe thatâs his fault for taking the brunt of it.Â
Your arms are limp by your side, one hand falling off the side of the plastic booster seat. He looks out of the other window and takes a hold of your hand. He didnât know how else to comfort you, he didnât even know how to calm himself down. Then, there's a light squeeze of his hand.

The Doctor Is In
Stephen Strange x reader
Bruce Banner x reader (platonic)
warnings:
a/n: hey! idk how to build stairs guys. i didnt feel like researching it. i dont care if itâs wrong. leave me alone. part 2/2.
prompt:
Out (1)
There was no hope of Stephen coming back. Every truth you had to face was harsher than the last. Even when you got home and realized that Wong was among the vanished...and he didnât fix the stairwell.
Maybe the stairwell was a good thing. It gave you something to focus on in these hard times. Sure, itâd been a month since the incident, but that still wasnât enough time for the world to heal. That meant that contractors were hard to come by. But the roof would have a tarp over it for some time. No way youâd deal with that.
So you took a trip to the hardware store, you stocked up on wood and nails, lacquer and wood stain. Anything else you needed for the project. Anything to keep you busy.
There were so many sleepless nights. You hated being alone in Sanctum, hated being alone in your bed. Every so often you would nap on the couch, but then youâd get right back to work. Weeks on end you spent on the stairwell. How long will you stick around while I talk about the stairwell?
Doctor Banner called you from time to time. His voicemails were kind, heartfelt, but you couldnât stop now. The gutted stairwell from a couple weeks ago was coming by very nicely. As nice as it could when worked on my an amateur. Alright, it looked awful, but you couldnât stand using a ladder to get to the second floor.
As you were staining the wood, you played a message from Bruce:
âDoctor L/N, itâs Bruce. I hope youâre doing alright, but you know that if youâre not, Iâm here for you. All the remaining Avengers have kind of...gone their separate ways for the most part, theyâre pretty broken up about everything. I just want you to know that because you donât...have to be strong right now. I understand if you canât be. Just call me back whenever you can? I want to make sure youâre alright. Weâre survivors, we should stick together.â
Bruce hadnât known you long, but he was still a great person and friend. You should call him back, but if you lost focus, you may lose yourself. So you continued to wipe against the grain of the fresh stairs and moved to the next step. And the next. And the next.
The last step was the lacquer and seal. You were scared to finish up. What would you occupy yourself with once this was over? You thought about the answer until the very last step and admired your shabby craftsmanship. Itâll do. Or maybe you should tear it all down and start over? While you were thinking over your newest thought, your phone rang again. Bruce Banner.
âHey, Bruce.â You answered the phone as you normally would and sat on the floor in front of your work.
âY/N?â Bruce asked in disbelief. âY/N, hey! How are you? I donât know if youâve been getting my calls..?â
âI have.â You quickly replied.
âOh.â He quietly nodded to himself.
âIâm sorry, Bruce.â You realized your mistake and knew you may have come off as a little rude. Heâd been nothing but kind to you, but youâd just realized you were alone today.
âNo, no! Itâs okay! I understand, donât worry. What have you been up to?â His effort to start a conversation may be successful this time around.
âI fixed the stairwell. All of it. Thatâs what Iâve been doing the past few weeks. I just finished a few minutes ago.â You felt awkward talking to him. Not because of him, not at all. Just because you hadnât really had any human contact in a while.
âI didnât take you for a carpenter, Doctor.â Bruce was genuinely surprised with your skillset, you could hear it in his voice.
âAnd you still wonât once you see the job I did.â You actually managed to let out a chuckle. You didnât know you could still do that.
âOh, I hear ya loud and clear.â Bruce laughed, too. I wonder if he was having the same thoughts as you. âY/N, do you want to go out to lunch like, now? I could use some company, maybe you could, too.â
âYeah,â you checked the time on your watch, Stephenâs watch, and realized you worked through the night and day, âtext me an address, Iâll meet you anywhere. See you soon.â You hung up pretty quickly, only to get ready ASAP. You were sort of covered in âstair suppliesâ and smelled like...not good. Youâd take a quick shower, put on some clean clothes, and take off. Unfortunately, the stairs werenât dry, so it was another round up the ladder.
âââââ
You finally took a trip back to your bedroom and shuffled through the closet filled with your...late husbandâs clothing. It still smelled like him, surprisingly. You wondered just how long it would last. You hoped itâd be forever, but you grabbed your own clothes and quickly got dressed, then checked your phone to see that Bruce was running âa little late.â Itâs okay, you were, too.
You took a seat on Stephenâs side of the bed and decided to snoop. Did it count as snooping if he was no longer here? You knew that he didnât keep secrets from you, so what was the worst you could stumble upon? Books, books, and more books. But some were important books, ones detailing mystic arts. Maybe...maybe it was time to pick up a new skill. You stuffed the book in your bag and decided to head out now before you got too comfy in an actual bed.
âââââ
You and Bruce sat at a booth in the empty diner, awkwardly gazing over the menu while trying to stir up some conversation. Itâd been a while since either of you had visited someone, you didnât even know what to talk about.
âSo, home renovations, huh?â Bruce asked while peaking over the fold of the laminated list.
âSomething like that.â You sighed and set yours down and aside. âI know what Iâm getting. What about you?â
âI just need a minute.â The only noise besides your bland conversation was the rustling of dishes in the back, which didnât last for long. âGot it. A burger. Thatâll do it.â Bruce announced and got the attention of the waiter.
Ordering took a second, but soon you and Bruce were alone again and ready to talk.
âHow are the other Avengers? I know you said they went their separate ways, but...â You inquired and were surprised to see a smile crack on Bruceâs face. âWhat?â
âAt least I know you listened to my voicemails.â He chuckled and took a sip of his iced tea. âTheyâre dealing with it. I donât exactly know how. Natâs staying at the compound, Iâm sure sheâs glad to have a home again. Cap went out on his own. Thor went back to his people. Tony and Pepper are trying to separate themselves from the world, I think. I donât blame them. Thatâs all I know.â You stayed silent, but nodded along to his outer thoughts. âYou alright?â
âIâm sorry, Bruce.â You started. âI didnât mean to ignore you, leave you hanging. I just still donât know how to take this. I keep thinking about what Stark told me when he came back. His whole âthis will all make sense soonâ thing. Nothing about this makes sense to me.â
âWell, Strange was different, wasnât he? He had that Stone, he had those powers, he might know something we donât.â Bruce explained to you, an attempt to comfort you. âWeâve tried everything, y/n. Maybe itâs time to wait, maybe in time youâll see that he sacrificed himself...for you.â You teared up at the scientistâs words and quickly wiped your eyes as the food was placed before you. âThank you, sir.â Bruce said as the waiter walked off. âHey, y/n? Itâs okay that youâre hurting. I get it. But please donât act like youâre alone. Iâm gonna be here for you, okay?â
âYeah,â you sniffled while hiding your wet eyes, âMe, too, Bruce.â
âââââ
When you got stressed out when you were younger, you threw yourself into your studies. Maybe that was why you were such an accomplished scientist. But what studies did you have now?
You had a library full of knowledge. It wasnât your usual knowledge, but it would suffice. Now, the book that youâd snagged from Stephenâs bedside was a bit advanced for you, but that was okay. You had options.
Where would you even begin? This place was bigger than you remembered. Was this another spell? Did you know what you were talking about? Stop thinking, y/n. Start reading.
You picked out a book. You just ran with it. You recalled stories from Stephen. You remembered you needed the ring. What did he call it? Song ring? Sink ring? Slink ring?
Sling ring.
Not a problem, you could find one. Sanctum probably had tons. Maybe in Stephenâs study? You wished you had asked him more about his arts before, you just didnât get it at the time.
One was stashed in a drawer. It was Stephenâs ring. The one he used himself. And it was the only one you could find, so itâd have to do. And so you got to studying.
The first time the air sparked by your hand was magical. Literally. But it made you feel something for the first time in nearly three months. And that was just the beginning. It felt like you were carrying on Stephenâs legacy in a way. Youâd never be âSorcerer Supreme,â but you didnât have any intention of that. You just wanted his memory to live on, even if it were through you.
So youâd practice and youâd learn and youâd practice and youâd learn. Youâd see Bruce whenever you could, and he soon noticed your mood change.
âIâm glad to see you happy for a change.â He told you while you walked through the park.
âYeah, it feels great.â You told him while watching construction vehicles cleaning up the debris that had been lying around for months.
âIâve been meaning to ask. Whatâs with the ring?â He looked at your hand and you lifted it closer.
âOh...itâs Stephenâs.â You simply stated.
âIs it like a wedding ring?â He took a closer look and let you laugh it up for a quick second.
âNo, no!â You shook your head at the ridiculous question. âI might as well show you. I havenât told anyone yet, but thatâs because youâre the only person I talk to.â You stopped in your tracks and shooed him back to give yourself enough space. âReady?â Bruce looked terrified, but nodded a response and watched you raise your hands ahead, concentrating on the small portal you had began to open. Bruce recognized the opening since heâd fallen through it before.
âYouâre one of the sorcerers?â Bruceâs eyes widened. âWhy didnât you ever tell me?â
âI just started learning!â You exclaimed with a bright smile. âI needed something to get me through this all...and I wanted to protect Sanctum like Stephen and Wong had always stressed doing.â
âThatâs...amazing, y/n. Self-taught magic? By a scientist, no less. Look at you go!â Bruce had a knack for being supportive. You were glad that he crashed through your roof and into your stairs.
âThanks, Bruce. Maybe in time Iâll be able to cast a spell that fixes my roof.â You shrugged.
âOh? Come on! I said I was sorry!â
âââââ
And then five years went by. Flew by, actually. Youâd become a skilled sorcerer and used your skills around Sanctum. There wasnât much to do here on Earth. It was a bit quiet.
Bruce was still a close friend of yours! Youâd advised him in his quest for balance. He was no longer at war with himself.
The roof was fixed! You had Bruce spectate your very own spell to repair the damages heâd inflicted, but all was forgiven.
Then one normal day you got a call from him.
âHey Bruce! Howâs it going?â You answered, even though it interrupted your meditation.
âCan you meet me at the diner ASAP?â He sounded a little off, but still upbeat, so you opened a portal and stepped through to find yourself right out front. It was easy to spot him through the window, but there were others with him. Avengers.
âHey, all.â You took a seat beside an unfamiliar one. âHi, Iâm y/n.â You told him as a plate of food was set in front of you.
âI ordered you your favorite. Hope youâre hungry.â Bruce smirked at you and let you get to it.
âSo, itâs been a while, huh?â You asked the two Avengers across from you.
âIt has.â Natasha sighed. âI wasnât aware you were...also a sorcerer.â She began.
âI had a lot of free time.â Last they saw you, you werenât as cool, calm, or collected. They were glad that youâd found peace. âI have a feeling this isnât a social lunch.â
âIâm sorry to pull you from your calm, Doctor L/Nââ You cut Steve off.
âY/N is fine.â You replied.
âScott here,â Steve motioned to the awkward man sitting alongside you, âwas stuck in the Quantum Realm for some time, if youâre familiar. He thinks that thereâs a way to...to undo what Thanos did.â You peered over at Bruce and watched him shrug as your heart started to beat faster and stomach started doing turns. You hated the thought of getting your hopes up, but you still dearly missed your husband.
âWhat can I do?â
âââââ
You had a hand in opening the dozens of portals around the ruins of the Avengers Compound, but you werenât the only one. Stephen, Wong, and hundreds of other sorcerers were assisting to bring an army to combat the troops of an outdated Thanos, and you were so close to Stephen.
Using your magic to create a pathway to the sky, you leaped from step to step to get a clear look of the battlefield. And to let Stephen see you. He did. And so did the cloak.
Youâd never used your powers to fight, so youâd have to step it up out here. But you knew Stephen wouldnât let you get hurt. And you believed that you could handle this yourself.
âY/N!â Stephen called to you as he flew to your altitude and held you in a special embrace that youâd nearly forgotten the feeling of. âItâs so good to see you.â
âAre you kidding me, Stephen?â You chuckled through tears that you just couldnât hold in, tears that dragged through the dirt and dust on your face, clearing small lines down your cheeks. âI have missed you every day since the moment you left. I am so glad to have you back.â
âIâm sorry I couldnât say goodbye, y/n. I truly am. But I knew that you would manage without me. You always have.â He explained to you in such a heartfelt way, admiring your capability to still be standing in the air.
âYou knew Iâd become a sorcerer, didnât you?â You cocked a brow and watched him smirk.
âI had an inkling.â He joked with you as the firefight below was still rampaging.
âItâs very unprofessional of you to be talking to your s/o during times of crisis like this.â You chuckled and broke your spell to fall back to the ground, stopping yourself before it was too late in what could only be described as a âsuperhero landing.â Now that you were on the ground, assistance was required for your own side of the battle.
You and your fellow sorcerers had to defend more than anything. Shields popped up across the battlefield in an effort to keep your people alive. There were too many close calls and you wanted to survive long enough to go home with your husband.
âY/N, over here!â Stephen beckoned you to the flood that would have made this fight much harder, and you were delighted to defend alongside him. The cloak rushed to you and gave you a fast track to the edge of the water, you couldnât help but that it for itâs kind service. âReady?â
âOf course.â You lifted your palms and motioned towards that water, redirecting it and keeping it at bay for the time being. âI love you, Stephen.â You remembered to tell him.
âI love you, too, y/n.â He replied with his focus still on the flood. âAnd Iâm proud of you. So very proud.â
âCouldnât have done it with you.â You joked and stabilized the rushing waters, giving you a true load-off before the end was clear. Dust passed through the sunken hole you all stood inside. Dust of your enemies that had finally lost. You and Stephen stared at each other in disbelief, yet couldnât help but run into each otherâs arms. âThis is real? We won?â
âIn a way.â
âââââ
Stephen and you dressed in all black were standing in the back yard of your savior. Tony had given his life to give others a life. You were just sorry that it had to be him.
Bruce stood alongside you with a long face and an injured arm. It was time for you to be there for him like heâd been there for you.
âThanks for bringing back my husband, Bruce.â You whispered to him while holding Stephenâs hand tightly. Over the past few days, you just couldnât seem to let go of him.
âOh, yeah? That was nothing.â Bruce playfully answered through his sorrow.
âHowâs your arm feeling?â You asked him, making sure the sling wasnât twisted up an any way.
âNot the greatest, but Iâll be okay.â He assured you and watched as you leaned your head onto Stephenâs smile with a sense of relief. âIâm really happy for you, y/n...â
âBut?â You raised an eyebrow with a hint of worry.
âBut you better still hang out with me.â He smiled at you and you even heard a chuckle escape Stephenâs lips.
âYou can count on it, Bruce.â You lifted a hand for a fist bump and collided your knuckles with his, even if they were a bit oversized.
âShall we get going, dear?â Stephen asked you while he hooked his arm around yours and opened a portal home. You waved goodbye to Bruce and went on your way, stepping right into Sanctum as the way closed behind you.
âSo you really meant it, huh?â You asked your husband while setting your belongings down.
âThat I love what youâve done with the place?â Stephen laughed at your oncoming smirk and walked forward, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you forward to kiss the top of your head. âOf course, dear.â
âEven the stairs?â You peeked your head up to look at your husband and watched his smile grow. Youâd never bothered casting a spell to properly repair them. Maybe you were just too proud of your work. Maybe it was a reminder that you got through these five years on your own terms.
âI do.â He leaned down to kiss your lips. âIt adds character to this place.â
âMore character than the magic?â You prodded at him.
âI think you mean âsorcery.ââ He corrected as you leaned into his chest and slightly swayed back and forth, taking in his presence for the 50th time since heâd come home.
âOh, of course. Silly me.â

how about one (1) blue meow meow of your choice for the ask meme đđ
first off thank you im kissing you on the foreheadđ and you BET I'm going with the newest addition to my blue guys pantheon, my little cryomancer Sub-Zero, specifically Kuai Liang
favorite thing about them: he's SO SO SO COOL, he's BLUE, he's TALL, he's PRETTY, he has ICE POWERS, he is ONE OF THE MOST HONORABLE CHARACTER IN MORTAL KOMBAT, he's got FAMILY ISSUES, they showed him SAVING PEOPLE ONCE, he's so COOL, he has a GREAT DEVELOPMENT AS A CHARACTER, he GENUINELY WANTS TO DO GOOD AND REDEEM HIS CLAN, he is VERY STRONG, he is TRAGIC, he's ICONIC AND INSTANTLY RECOGNIZABLE, his EYES ARE PRETTY and GLOW SOMETIMES, he's got a COOL SCAR, he may not be the most social but DESPITE THAT he BELIEVES IN UNITY, he's an ICE KING but he CARES A LOT, he has GREAT TITS, he has SOMETHING GOING ON with the other guy, he is RIPPING SPINES OUT, he has DRIP (his outfits OWNS), he's so COOL, HE'S SO COOL, I LOVE HIMđâđ
least favorite thing about them: cant believe it took them until mk11 to finally put a fitting face model on this man (it's the handsomest one too). Also you'd be surprised by how little they actually have him do in general, I want to see him more goddammit??? Also similarly to scorpy, they have got to stop making him go through so much back to back, you telling me he got cyberized, died, was a slave wraith for years, came back to life and regained by his free will only to IMMEDIATELY LOSE IT AGAIN BY GETTING POSSESSED BY AN EVIL BLADE WHO FORCED HIM TO KILL PEOPLE? I hate this, let the man breathe.
favorite line: sadly Subz did not trademarked a catchphrase, but he makes up for it by having at least 10 ice puns ready at all times. I love every of his intros tho. I really do love his chapter in mkx where he's just like "It's time to entertain our guests >:)" while sitting on his big ice throne. He was great in mkx, and in mk11, and in mk9, he's great in general. At the top of my head I like this one: "Minus 3 degrees Celsius." "What is that?" "The freezing point for blood.". I also like "We share blood, we are not brothers." Because it's mirroring what Bi-Han said to him and it's saaad :(
brOTP: obviously with Tomas Vrbada aka Smoke! I really think it's their friendship in the Lin Kuei that allowed them to keep their honor and good morals, and their wedding vows oath to never fight each other in the cartoon was sweet. Then there's his relationships with the rest of the earthrealmers gang that's pretty wholesome, especially the Kombat Kids. Love the genuine respect between him, Sonya and Jax, and I have to give a special place to Johnny, because he's THE goofy, funny, annoying guy of the group and those types of characters are always a riot when paired with cold, serious and no-nonsense characters like Sub-Zero (tho he does humor people sometimes). Johnny punched him in the dick once.
OTP: so in the few years between mkx and mk11, Sub-Zero and Scorpion quite literally traded hairstyles like Kuai has the bandana now, Subz also went from calling Scorp "Grandmaster Hasashi" to "Hanzo" and they've hang out around each other enough that Subz can recognize Scorp by footsteps. They didnt have to do that. They work effortlessly well together in their shared chapter and have a few number of cosmetics referencing one another on positive terms. Let's not mention their shared intros or them talking about each other in intros with other characters. Even before all that, one can assume Subz learned how make tea in the proper japanese way specifically for Scorp to make peace with him. In the og timeline, Scorp swore to protect Subz and branded himself "Sub-Zero's guardian", I think he straight up killed the Big Bad at one point because Subz was on the other side. In the animated movie, they've saved each other a grand total number of 9 times aka at least once in every one of their shared scenes. Also whatever the hell was going in these:
I don't KNOW man what do you WANT from me
nOTP: the OBVIOUS ones of course because while I havent seen any so far I am wary when characters have siblings and also I've heard people have been wierd with uncomfortable age gaps. So none of that. And none of anything else really because once again I am not that much of a multishipper. And it's not like Sub-Zero is the most social of characters. And I'll be real... even without any shipping at all, based on a few intros, some concerning his lovelife, and some having particular interactions with some characters, and what we can assume about the Lin Kuei before he became Grandmaster, as well as his own personal history and relations... Guys I don't think Sub-Zero is attracted to womenđł. Why is every positive relationships in your life with men? Why do you go đȘâ when Skarlet is flirting with you and next minute when Erron Black is asking if youre here for shooting lessons youre like "Are you offering?đ". You dont use guns at all. "I dont have time to socialize/Love gets in the way" ok Kuai. Why are you associated with bears for fucks sake.
random headcanon: oh that man LOVES to teach, passing his fighting knowledge along is what saved him in the long term I think, cause after losing his free will for a whooping THIRD time (in a row!) he really was ready to end it all, but then him destroying the Cyber Lin Kuei and becoming the new Grandmaster gave him a new purpose as in, restoring the Lin Kuei's honor first and foremost, but I think he really found his true calling and inspiration when he trained the new Lin Kuei, so much that he just. keep mentoring people now, even if theyre not Lin Kuei. In the words of Hanzo "training outsiders is Sub-Zero's passion.", and we know he's good at it too. I think it would make sense for him to feel that way as well, due to him being 1) in an assassin clan, and 2) a little brother, like, him having an impact on people around him (being Grandmaster, teaching people) would affirm himself as a person not living in the shadow of someone else, and also affirm and cements himself as THE Sub-Zero. I also think he also actively likes being called Sub-Zero, because on the back of his mind there's a part of him who will always be Tundra, so getting called by the title that he took to honor his brother but eventually earned and made his own has to feel good somewhat. And with Hanzo exclusively calling him Sub-Zero make that what you will. Also his ice dragon children are canon I know it. They should bring them back or reference them or something I'm BEGGING.
unpopular opinion: they REALLY have to do more with Noob Saibot and Frost because I simply do not care about them OR their relationship with Sub-Zero, which sucks! Because on paper they are extremely important characters to Sub-Zero. Noob is ok on his own but he ISN'T on his own and is severely underutilized and 2dark4me even by my standards, and Frost is just. annoying. It has the grounds for some interesting and GOOD tragedy but as those two characters are kinda flat and boring, when I see them I just think Kuai Liang should just get rid of them for good and move on with his life, to which he doesnt... really seem to disagree with honestly? Anyway regular Bi-han>Noob Saibot and Kuai Liang&Frost should have a complicated Shifu&Tai Lung-like relationship. Otherwise I straight up don't care as of right now.
song I associate with them: "Cold Cold Man" - Saint Motel, lol, also "My Brother Taught Me How To Swim" - Passion Pit, "Know You Better" - LEISURE, and OF COURSE... "Ice Ice Baby" - Vanilla Ice
favorite picture of them: The frame which I think Started It All + hiii + đł + How Kuai Liang probably feel 24/7 + Subz finally has had enough + and finally the entirety of this
#bitches be like ''im gonna do an ask meme!'' and then take 24h to answer#get yourself scrunglos from games who will make you stay up till 6am writing essays about them#ANYWAY HERE'S SUBZ... MY BLUE LITTLE CRYOMANCER MEOW MEOWđâđ#thank you so so so much *mwah*#long post#yeah i think its fair#ask meme#tagging later#260821main

Borrower Intruloceit
Janus, Remus and Logan were (very happily) in a polyamorous relationship. However, to most of the world, Janus and Remus were just a couple. You see, Logan was a borrower; a tiny person that lives in the walls of human houses and steals from those humans in order to survive. And, heâs a secret.Â
Hereâs three close calls and the one time everyone found out about Logan.
1. The time Remusâ brother showed up unannounced
Logan was sitting on the arm of the couch, having a movie date with his boyfriends, when the door slammed open. He quickly gestured to Janusâ pocket, hoping he would understand. Luckily, he nodded and quickly scooped up the borrower and deposited him in the fairly large (to Logan at least) pocket.
âgood evening, Roman. Is there a reason you showed up unannounced, or did you just want to ruin our date?â Janus spoke coldly
âoh- I- uh.. I didnât know you two had a date tonight..â Roman rubbed his neck sheepishly
âus threeâ Logan corrected under his breath, shifting his position slightly. Unfortunately, Roman seemed to notice the movement from the pocket.Â
âWhatâs in your pocket?â He asked hesitantly
Logan stilled and held his breath as Janus answered âwhy do you want to know?âÂ
Remus was staying silent, not trusting himself to not accidentally let something slip.
âI want to know beca-â he was cut off by Remus
âwhy are you here Roman?â
That quickly distracted the human âoh! I was just-â he explained why he was there, Logan still forcing himself to be still.
Once the dramatic man had left, the borrower let out an annoyed sigh âyou really need to take away his key, so he canât do this again. It is rather annoying to have to hide every two seconds that Roman shows up unexpectedlyâ
Remus giggled âand what would we tell him? âoh yeah our secret tiny boyfriend doesnât like it when you burst in randomly so weâre gonna take your keyâ I donât think that would work very well, tiny nerdâ
2. Janusâ brother shows up slightly less unannounced than Roman
Janus, Remus and Logan were watching random Youtube videos, with Logan sat on Remusâ shoulder. They heard the door open at the same time as Janus got a text message from his brother, Virgil
Was on a walk and saw your house. Am now in your house :)
Luckily, there was an entrance to the walls right next to where they were sat and Logan practically ran into it, the entrance closing just as Virgil entered the room.
âVirgil, do you have a reason to be here other than being an annoyance?â Janus raised an eyebrow at his younger sibling
âNope!â Virgil replied with fake cheerfulness, before sitting cross-legged on the floor staring at the other humans. Remus just stared back, but with a slightly more eerie tone to his actions.Â
Janus just sighed at his boyfriend and his brother. He had no doubt that Logan was watching with an annoyed face that he would deny ever making. Almost everything they tried to do together was interrupted by someone bursting in uninvited, and it was getting tiresome. He heard a faint noise from the walls and by the looks of it Virgil and Remus heard it too.
Logan had gotten into a fight with a (luckily non-venomous) spider, and had just killed it, when he tripped. The impact made him hiss with pain and, unfortunately, made a semi-loud sound on its own. â... what was that?â He heard Virgil ask
Janus and Remus looked at each other for a split second, before Janus shrugged and said that it was probably nothing
âAnyway, emo, if youâre scared and you didnt come here for a reason, you can leaveâ Remus said, slightly too bluntly.
Virgil, thankfully for Logan, did in fact leave. It was at exactly that moment that the borrower decided that Virgil was better (if only slightly) than Roman
3. The time with Patton
Logan was wandering around the house (its his house and he can do that now that the humans knew about him) when a knock at the door sounded. Suddenly really glad that he stayed near the walls on his walk, he rushed into the closest entrance.Â
He knew that this would be Patton (he was the only person who ever bothered to knock) but he still couldnât decide whether this particular human was as good as Virgil or not. He was better than Roman, not as loud (though still pretty loud), and not as keen on staying somewhere that he didnât own. However, he wasnât as quiet as Virgil, and had accidentally hurt his ears quite a few times, but at least he knocked instead of bursting in randomly with little to no warning.
He watched from a vent as Remus opened the door
âHeya Remus! Can i come in?â Patton greeted with obviously fake happiness and Logan could see a smile that seemed just a little too forced
âof course, do you want to sit down? Iâll go get Janusâ Remus genuinely had no clue what to do, but Janus was slightly better at comforting people. Logan was better at it as well, because heâd bring up facts about why youâre good, but it wasnât like Logan could comfort Patton..
Janus quickly rushed to the living room, where his best friend was obviously trying to hold back tears.Â
Logan watched Patton rant about both everything and nothing at the same time, obviously just needing someone to talk to. As much as he hated to admit it, he was still annoyed at the interruption that had forced him into the walls. He couldnât control what annoyed him, and that in itself was an annoyance. He wanted to sympathise with the human, but did he have to show up right as Logan was finally relaxing? He decided to just randomly do things on the phone his boyfriends had given him. It had been hard to drag to his house in the walls but it made it easier to not get bored and to contact the two humans
4. When everyone (finally) finds out
Logan had had enough. The three humans that didnât live in the house had all shown up unexpectedly, together. Whilst Logan, Remus and Janus were trying to finally have uninterrupted time together. Of course thatâs when they show up Logan thought bitterly. They had showed up for, as they put it, a âsurprise sleepoverâ
He glanced at his phone leaning on the wall next to his bed and a thought popped into his head. The humans were bound to find out anyway, if they were to keep bursting in unexpectedly, so why not just tell them?
Logan unlocked his phone, opening Whatsapp and typing out a message
âtel VIrgl patan and romun to stay were they are. im reveeling mysellf to them. im going throo the enterance on the bukshelf. see yoo soonâ
He probably spelt most of it wrong, but he hadnât exactly gotten taught spelling. All he was taught in regards to reading, was just barely enough to figure out what he was taking and if it was dangerous or not. And he was making a life-changing decision, so he thought that meant he could make as many spelling mistakes as he did, and play it off to nervousness.
Janus and Remus both looked at their phones and paled. What was Logan thinking?! It seemed that the other humans had noticed their uneasiness âwhatâs wrong? Whatâs on your phones that is making you react like this??â Virgil asked, worry lacing his tone
âDonât worry, Vee. Itâs nothing bad, itâs just.. unexpected. ...Youâll see, just stay thereâ Janus soothed his brother
âyou two stay there as wellâ Remus added , getting up and walking towards the bookshelf, Janus soon joining him. They looked at where they knew the entrance was, waiting for it to open.
Roman piped up âuh, care to tell us what is going on?â
âwe will, but not yet. We need to waitâÂ
âwell, that was ominous..â Virgil commented, seeming slightly nervous
Then, the entrance opened and Logan walked out glaring softly at the shocked humans
âuh, Remus, what the fuck is that?!â Roman practically shouted, reminding Logan just why he was on the bottom of his list of favourites.Â
âHe is our boyfriend, and I expect you to treat him with respectâ Janus said, his voice venomous. Remus held out a hand for Logan to climb onto, which the borrower did, still glaring at the other humans (mostly Roman).Â
âSalutations. I am Logan, do not introduce yourselves, I already know who you areâ He spoke before muttering an âunfortunatelyâ
Remus, being the only person close enough to hear the mutter, let out a chuckle âLo, if you revealed yourself just to complain about them to their faces, this will be hilariousâ
The three humans were staring in shock, until Roman snapped out of it âWait- why would he be complaining? I donât know about those two, but I am positively amazing!âÂ
Logan scoffed âyeah, amazing. Youâre too loud, burst in randomly, and itâs always for the stupidest reasons. You have hurt my ears far too many times to count, and almost every time me, Janus and Remus try to do something together, you show up, and I have to hide or go back to the walls. So, yeah, amazingâ He spoke, voice dripping with sarcasm.Â
He turned to the other two âyou two arenât as bad, but you still manage to show up at some of the worst possible times. Patton, you are quite loud, but not as loud as Roman, so that makes you slightly better. Also, you donât burst in, and you knock so thatâs something good. Virgil, youâre not as loud as these two, which is good, and you always send a text message when you show up, so I have at least a little bit of warning before going into the walls, so youâre both better than Romanâ not that thatâs saying much he added mentally.
-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-/\-
I kinda wanna write a prequel about how Logan, Remus and Janus met..

8 Anti LO Asks
1. tbh i just think minthe's design just looks better for a queen. she genuinely looks intimidating and regal, meanwhile persephone just looks like a baby who cries at the drop of a hat. thats not to say baby-faced people cant be taken seriously, but rachel has made her too immature and childish looking (as well as canon making her stuck at 19-but-looks-even-younger forever with an even more childish personality) that i just cant buy her as any sort of authority figure.
2. i think thats also it. rachel really wants there to be drama, but at the same time she also refuses to actually let them suffer, so it just comes across as shallow. persephone wont see punishment for killing mortals (who were at fault for being killed, very cool), she was only on the run for maybe a day or two but is now living it up with hades, only like three people dont support hxp, etc. LO wants to be a dramatic epic without having the stakes, so it just ends up as superficial instead.
3. to that one anon about an LO stan saying apollo was obsessed with some princess or whatever: there is a version of that mostly known by parthenius of nicaea which was just combining the daphne and hyacinthus' myths together to make it No Homoâąïž to have apollo only love daphne and basically every mythology editor and historian sees that version as some odd ball take that isnt legitimate in the greek myths. im not surprised an LO stan takes it as fact tho, they think LO is factual too.
4. there are bad apples in every fandom, but LO fans in particular seem convinced Greece doesn't exist anymore and RS get free reign to claim the mythology and remove it from its entire culture because "its theirs now" and I can't stand that mentality. It's should be seen as an honor she gets to play around with the stories, not claim it as her own for her to do as she pleases, and it's awful the fans encourage it, especially since LO is a damaging piece of work even outside of mythology circles.
5. its silly LO set up persephone's trauma via demeter as this deep set horror (the locked greenhouse esp was setting it up as that) and yet when we were actually shown demeter's "torture" it was them bickering over her going to college and thats it? like demeter is actually a super doting mother and only failed in making her daughter a spoiled brat and never letting her face consequences, and yet she's framed as evil for this, but hades does the same thing and he's romantic for it? please đ.
-----FP Spoilers-----
(Please read the message at the bottom)
6. ya know if hades is lying that hes known persephone longer than a few weeks isnt that him knowing this relationship is bad and theyre rushing things but hes trying to save face? like idk maybe its just me but if your relationship is built off lusting after her in a submissive position, yourself controlling the woman including her finances and where she lives, and lying to others and keeping things from her so she never questions you, then the relationship is a no-go đ€·đżââïž
7. if hades literally has to lie that hes known persephone longer than a month to try and excuse his relationship to her and to try and get her out of trouble then 1) thats an automatic admittance of guilt that hes refusing to acknowledge, but also 2) lying on the stand is illegal. like what lawyer is he if he just lies to get her off?? thats not showing he cares, it shows hes a corrupt person who should also be stripped of power along with her. Â i wouldn't want a liar as an absolute king, TBH.
8. im kinda confused tho? why would he lie about the time? zeus was right there when hades saw persephone for the first time? unless they mean the tapes the fates got them? which even the most dedicated LO fans didnt like since it was a bit of a stupid retcon (also im not sure persephone was even over the age of 18 then so thats concerning) also they apparently forgot each other right after that meeting anyway so?? whats the point??
Regarding #6-8
I've been trying not to say it out right because fp spoilers but a lot of people are confused so I'll explain while trying to avoid more spoilers:
Hades says to Apollo that he's noticed that Apollo has been brutalizing his wife (aka Persephone) for months. Apollo calls him out on that by saying something along the line of "She's your wife now?". Hades then says he misspoke (by calling her his wife). Either they got married of screen or he genuinely misspoke which is still very suspicious.
By months, Hades probably just overexaggerating. LO takes place over the span of March - early April so that also might be why he says months. However, he really shouldâve said weeks.
I highly suggest using zahard/./top (remove the slashes) if you want to read the fp for yourself and don't want to pay.

howlâs moving castle is my favorite studio ghibli movie and the only solid reasoning i really have is because i am, a simp.
(im kidding its a beautiful movie)
and so today i will be rating this beautiful man, the blueprint for my longhaired guy with earrings type, on what iâd like to call:
ïœĄ+ïŸ.ă+ăïœĄ+ïŸ.ă+ăhowlâs (whoâs) your favorite?Â ïœĄ+ïŸ.ă+ïœĄ+ïŸ.ă+ăă(ÂŽÏïœ*)
where i tell you my rankings of the different versions of howl, letâs start!
#12 slimy howl
slimy howl is on the bottom of my list because LORD i cannot imagine touching him like that. WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT?? if this is some sort of version of menstrual cramps to him i just donât think i could wake up and say good morning sweetie just for him to wake me up with a slimy kiss. sorry.
#11 monster howl
this is the least howl form of howl and i simply do not like it. it represents his humanity being stripped away and shows him as his worst form, the beast that he must turn to the greater his power becomes. heâs the least himself in this form and thatâs not good >:( scary to look at but higher ranked than slimy howl because at least his feathers are soft
#10 howl shoyo from haikyuu (omg hes #10 too i didnt even plan that)
karasunoâs best decoyâs entire appearance was only a big mental breakdown over his hair! heâs not ugly or anything but heâs very unhappy in this scene and i get it cuz one time i cut my bangs too short and looked like goshiki from haikyuu mixed with atsushiâs bangs but not cute and i started crying so i understand. unhappy howl is defo not my favorite howl (but he scores higher than slimy and monster because he is at least a human here)
#9 bird centaur howl
THIS MAN LOOKS LIKE HE WAS WEARING A SKIN TIGHT BIRD MASCOT COSTUME AND TOOK OFF THE HEAD. WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE THAT. THE WORST POSSIBLE LOOK FOR ANY HALF HUMAN HALF ANIMAL CREATURE. ITS LIKE YOU SHUFFLED SOME KIND OF SUPERHERO GENERATOR AND GOT THE MOST UNNATURAL LOOKING ONE. HE LOOKS ANGRY.Â
#8 werebird howl
oh absolutely NOT. can you IMAGINE having to see the fucking feather things POP OUT OF HIS FACE????? oh good god help me. higher on the list because he looks kinda cool (maybe because it looks like facial hair?)
#7 surprise its howl!
LOOK AT HIM IN HIS LITTLE HAT. heâs all âayo i gotchu follow my ring its like a little gps oh dont worry about wifi i have dataâ. he looks like those little nutcracker toys. only complaints is that green is not his color and he looks like a figure of authority and i dont really like figures of authority. still looks really dorky and cute tho! <3
#6 3/4 bird howl
i know what you may be thinking, âwhat the fuck.â and i understand. why is a bird howl so high on the list? but look at him! heâs not just a bird anymore. this is the thing that represent his loss of humanity, but now he uses that form to protect sophie, which is very empowering if you ask me! for someone who didnât care about his heart heâs sure got a big one :> look at his little smile!
#5 injured little birdie howl
i know i just talked about his humanity and shit but he. looks. so. sexy. here. i dont wanna fuck a bird, okay. maybe its the jawline. maybe its the way his guard is down. maybe its the vulnerability in his face. maybe i need a therapist. itâs like...âim fighting to be human! its just so difficult....pls take care of me..â i dont know. the earring ties it all together. like heâs injured. and heâs a bird. but like, classy.
#4 haku from spirited away
DISCLAIMER: THIS LIST IS NOT THE ORDER OF ATTRACTIVENESS I FIND THE HOWLS. IT IS SIMPLY MY FAVORITE HOWLS IN ORDER, GENERALLY. I DO NOT WANT TO FUCK HOWL AS A CHILD. I DO NOT WANT TO FUCK A BIRD EITHER.
heâs so cute!!! he wanted to save a shooting star!!! he just didnât know what would happen okay >:0 he is still so tiny and the little ribbon is so cute he looks like a little villager from animal crossing but guess what heâs actually a wizard! how cool is that!
#3 idol howl
i say idol because howl kind of reminds me of a kpop idol here??? i think itâs cuz he looks very pretty. and maybe his blonde hair is like when kpop idols dye their hair different colors and youre like oh wow that looks nice??? :0 classic howl look, probably the first image people think of when remembering his face! great fashion sense, the shirt, the necklace, his little jacket, the EARRINGS! a very aesthetically pleasing howl. he wouldnât just take you to a movie on your first date heâd bring you into one <3 the walking in the sky scene is a classic! its beautiful!!! slowdancing with this howl is the dream. (only at #3 because of personal preference, i dont usually simp for blonde characters for some reason) also his character development hasnt happened yet so heâs still pretty selfish (but heâs also still pretty pretty)
#2 princess howl
LISTEN. THIS IS AFTER HIS LITTLE HAIR DYE MENTAL BREAKDOWN. BUT HE IS SO. PRETTY. i cannot EXPLAIN how pretty he is here. the length of his hair is so perfect. and itâs BLACK? oh god. this is such a close #2. he is so pretty. i actually think this look is his prettiest. im sorry i have no more funny commentary because hes actually so pretty. heâs #2 only because. he was acting so spoiled. I MEAN NOT REALLY. heâs just so dramatic but who could say no to THAT?? his earrings..his hair..his EYELASHES? no one looks this good lying down. let me spoil u my baby <333
#1 husband howl!!!!!!!!!
this is a man in love. look at him smile. you could just fall for him on the spot. this man can cook! he is so excited to show u the house he made with his magic!! and he gets you your own FLOWER GARDEN????? did you know flowers have a language i bet all of them are like âeternal loveâ âendless happinessâ or something- well no heâs a wizard i bet all the flowers smell like happiness and sunshine. his shirt tucked in? AWOOGA! god he looks so good in those pants. he is so romantic. he is so genuinely happy. and he doesnât even realize heâs in love with you!! he just wants you to smile. all the other howls iâd go yes iâll do the cooking yes iâll do the cleaning but THIS HOWL? âoh sweetie youre not feeling well? let me cook something for you to heal up, no donât move, stay right there and restâ this howl is so endlessly cute and perfect and romantic and happy. if thereâs something to be learned is that u may be pretty u may be sexy but u look the best when ur happy. oh my god he looks like he smells good too.
and thatâs all! i hope you enjoyed (or actually read)Â
ïœĄ+ïŸ.ă+ăïœĄ+ïŸ.ă+ăhowlâs (whoâs) your favorite? ïœĄ+ïŸ.ă+ïœĄ+ïŸ.ă+ăă(ÂŽÏïœ*)
i hope everyone is well and i hope u liked this little list! any comments or replies are very appreciated because i dont wanna look like a psychopath talking about howl LMAO

mcyt brain rot for you all
this is both anysis and headcanon and au scenario, all blended together. you're welcome :D
----------
i have this headcanon,,,, cobbled together by some tumblr posts i read,,,, but some of them point out that wilbur is like, good at manipulating people as well to a point, right?
so i was thinking. what if his reach extended far beyond what anyone thought of? *what if wilbur's influence spread to dream?*
i know we've discussed this before (or sparrow analyzed it idk) but like. hear me out. this headcanon has to do with how wilbur wants to create a narrative. pit it against dream and his presumed original desires to create a safe happy place for his friends. wilbur's insistence that dream is the "tyrant". what if wilbur saw how dream was pointedly staying out of conflict, decided, "i dont like that," and began twisting the storyline and pulled dream's strings (pointedly off camera bc headcanons, babyyyy) so that dream would eventually fall into ruin, as the disgraced tyrant?
and dream...he KNOWS what wilbur's doing. to him specifically. and he's struggling so hard at the beginning, judging by his soft, passive demeanor when wilbur asks about the tnt.
i think, that somewhere along the line, dream lost sight of where his boundaries lied, and falls right into wilbur's plot pit and became The Villain. and he's like, fuck. I went and done it, oh no.
and....it worsens.
i had this whole scenario in my head that dream fully embraces the villain role, plays wilbur's game and completes the "narrative"...but is so fed up with wilbur and his stupid fucking ploys that he...bends the rules a little. changes shit up.
something...oh, a little like "lets speedrun my fall into villainy" bc it wouldn't be dream without the speedrun.
fast forward to prison. maybe if dream finally gets to resurrect wilbur. and wilbur is Not Pleased with how dream has decided to handle his narrative.
but its like. dream doesn't give two shits about wilbur's goddamn narrative anymore. he **played wilbur's game**. he's done with his role. he's given them peace, given them a happy end.
sure, he's given the rest plenty of trauma, but hey, it all turned out okay in the end, right? theyve got their happy ending. theyve BEATEN the big bad nightmare. his role is OVER.
but wilbur doesnt like it. doesnt like the lengths dream went to. it wasn't supposed to be like this. dream wasn't supposed to turn out this much of a *monster.*
and dream laughs. "will, wilby, wilbur," he croons madly, in his pretty little cell, preening like a cat. "i dont care," he hisses. "you fucking wanted this. you WANTED me to be this way. right? mr. revolutionary man? come on now, dont tell me you never expected this."
and wilbur tries to protest, but dream cuts him off.
"no. NO. dont' play your stupid littke games on me wilbur. you udnerstand? im DONE. im so sick of your bullshit, your countries your wars and your stupid fucking "story". I WANTED PEACE AND SAFETY. ALL i asked was "hey, don't be jerks, we're all one big community," and you didn't even have the DECENCY to just adhere to those rules, not even a little bit! you -- i let you in here because of TOMMY, you know that? the reason you even got to BE in this world was because tommy "vouched" for you. said you would be a great addition. and tommy-- i loved that kid back then, you know? he was bright and annoying and he made the server FUN. you took that brilliance, took that kid, and turned him against me, against ALL of us -- for what? independence? I HANDED YOU INDEPENDENCE AND YOU SPAT IT IN MY FACE LIKE IT WAS THE MOST VILE THING YOUVE EVER RECEIVED. i didnt even ENFORCE my rules, they were so loose literally EVERYONE broke them at some point.
but you? you had the audacity to call me a tyrant. to call me selfish, greedy, controlling. and then you declared war. the pet wars, the first disc wars weren't even close to the intensity you brewed during the revolution.
you had this little ideal in your head. and ill have to hand it to you, it was certainly impressive. but you didnt need to press it, to pressure it on the people of my server. you did anyway. you created this plot, this scheme to paint me as the villain, as the final boss. and you know what? FINE! if this is what it takes for them to be safe and happy, i'll be the villain.
but don't come in here expecting me to play that role again. i DID my part. i united them. my work is over.
but you, wilbur? heh. you get to deal with ALL the consequences of your war games. you'll be the one dealing with tommy's nightmares, tubbo's anger, everyone's hatred, fuck, you even get to deal with the egg!! isnt that nice? i was willing to deal with the egg, you know, it appeared before the whole election thing. but since you're here, you may as well take over. because you're SO great at directing them, you know? better than i ever could.
point is, wilbur, you don't get to use me as the tyrant, the final boss, the bad guy, and the villain anymore. when i said i would be putting the most powerful person in here, I wasn't fucking lying!"
"but tommy said you were going to put him in there!"
"you know, with the amount of times ive practically lied to that kid, im surprised he still believed me. i was never planning to put him in here. no one else would be put in here. hell, even techno and phil would just have gotten stuck here for about a week. i had guidelines, you know. i put them in a book somehwere, in one of my bases. no one was supposed to get unfair treatment. unfortunately i seemed to have pulled the short end of thr stick. that seems to be all that im doing these days."
"dreamâ"
"no. don't do that. don't pull me into another one of your plots wilbur. i don't want to hear it. you got your villain. your villain is gone, wilbur.
it's time to be the hero. :)"
basically my points here are like.
-wilbur made a narrative that dream didnt agree with
-this narrative painted dream in a negative villian light so dream basically said "yeah fuck that" and spedran his role
-headcanons galore i really do like the idea of dream creating that prison for himself to be locked in
-once wilbur is back he visits dream and explains his displeasure that dream went and did the things he did bc 1) hurt a lot of people personally and 2) did not adhere to the villain role wilbur specifically assigned to dream
-additional mentions: both wanted peace but in different forms. dream wanted peace for peace's sake but wilbur wanted peace after struggles. dream genuinely loved everyone on the server, but had to shed those attachments because to him, PERSONALLY, it would be a weakness towards his "villainous" role. his threatening of tubbo in front of tommy so tommy can "be the hero like spiderman and batman" shows that he knows exactly how empowering attachments are. lastly, dream only began manipulating people after the pogtopia arc. he mostly stayed the neutral party during it, and was just reacting with plans among plans during the lmanburg revolution.
-additionally, wilbur really wanted to stay dead, but dream said "haha no" and alived him again bc if he has to be the one to inflict trauma onto people then wilbur has to suffer leading the efforts to recovery.
hi @dreamsclock u keep giving me brainrot so im tossing this at u thank u goodbye i hope u dont mind the tag

reading between the lines (High School Years, Ch 2)
pairing: eren x mikasa (shingeki no kyojin) // mild erehisu, yumihisu
rating: t
summary: (modern au) Junior year is difficult, especially for Mikasa, because it turns out Erenâs decided to test the dating scene.Â
(banter, jealousy... and lots of feelings)
part 1Â | read on ao3
A/N:Â this chapter has been a long time coming (5 years omg), and tbh I have a lovely anon to thank, who messaged me asking for a sequel to hsy, which made me actually want to put down my scrambled headcanons on paper. if you're reading this anon, i'm truly grateful for the push you gave me.Â
NOTE: although i intended a sequel, this is a COMPANION fic to chapter 1, it is meant to fill up the gaps in the story that the previous chapter didnt tell you. i hope you enjoy :)
Today was not one of Erenâs favourite days, for 2 reasons. For one, the day started off with ⊠an encounter. Two, today they would be getting the results of their final trig assessment, which Eren knows perfectly well he didnât have a chance of passing.
The âencounterâ happens pretty much without preamble.
âŠ
i.
â⊠Hey, itâs Eren, right?â He turns around from his conversation with Armin, to see the same guy from a couple of weeks ago, the one who was talking about Mikasa, and her pretty hair. (he wasnât wrong) Â
âYeah?â He does his best not to let the subconscious irritation seep into his tone.
âI think we got off on the wrong foot the other day,â the guy with the oddly horse-shaped face says, â⊠My nameâs Jean.â
â⊠Nice to meet you,â he says awkwardly delivering his dishonest words.
â⊠So, I wanted to be straight up with you,â Jean says, cheeks oddly pink. âAbout Mikasa⊠and you. Iâve heard some rumours, and I thought it best to address it with you directly, because I really donât want to cause any trouble.â  Clearing his throat, he says, âAre you guys⊠yâknow, together?â
Itâs in the way Jean speaks, he thinks, or the way he talks about Mikasa (or even thinks of her?) - it makes him want to ram his fist right in the middle of his ugly face. And because he was too busy clenching his fists to actually respond, Armin says with a laugh, â⊠Ah, donât worry, Mikasa is totally single.â
And then proceeds to wink at Jean.
Eren can barely believe his eyes and ears. And once Jean is out of earshot he hisses, â⊠what the fuck, Armin?â
Armin blinks up at him innocently. âWhat? Did I say something wrong?â
 â⊠You didnât have to encourage him,â Eren mumbles petulantly, when he admits to himself that Armin did, in fact, say nothing wrong.
 âErm, why not?â He sighs, âLook, I know you⊠worry about Mikasa,â Armin keeps his tone as neutral and veiled as possible, because worried is definitely not all Eren feels for Mikasa, â⊠but Jean is a good guy! And if anyone deserves attention from a good guy, itâs her.â
âŠ
 ii.
 She finds him lurking near his locker, stuffing his crumpled papers in, probably wishing away their existence.
âThat bad, huh?â She asks, hiding away her grin at his predictable reaction. Eren has always been predisposed too sulking - whether he was a 7-year-old who wasnât the fastest on the field or 16-something and having just received his trigonometry results.
â⊠You look like you did just fine,â he mutters, not having to see the A+ on her paper to know that Mikasa had no problem acing the trig test (or any other test).
âYou could just ask me for help, Eren. I could help you out for the retakes,â she offers softly, not for the first time.
He sighs. When he glances at her, dark eyes offering earnestly, he knows she means it without any pride or arrogance, but he isnât able to suppress the prick of his own ego that has him mumbling, â⊠the mandatory remedial lessons should do just fine.â
âŠ
iii.
When he shows up for class, he sees only a couple of others unfamiliar faces, so he curses under his breath at his own ineptitude towards mathematics for getting him in this situation and takes a spot at the back of the class.
The Support teacher - Erd, he calls himself, apparently too young to be addressed âMr.â or any of that - seems just as tired as the rest of them, sighing at the lack of answers, obviously frustrated at the complete lack of interest or gratitude of the teenagers in front of him.
So, 20 minutes into the 1-hour lesson, when the short blonde walks in, out-of-breath and apologetic, the sarcasm in his tone is biting. âYouâve already missed 1/3rd of this class, you might as well have stayed out entirely and practiced your cheer routines.â
Eren watches sympathetically at the visible cringe on Kristaâs face and offers her an empathetic smile as she takes the seat next to him.
Later when theyâve been informed that the retake is just an assignment filled with proofs and average difficulty problems that they can do in pairs, he looks at Krista, the only known person in the room.
They werenât that close, but they had quite a few mutual friends what with him playing basketball and her being part of the cheer team. So, when she says, â⊠see you at the library tomorrow evening?â with a pretty smile across her pretty features, he grins gratefully.
..
She doesnât struggle with trig even half as much as he does. In fact, she seemed to be happy to do most of the work herself and explain her solutions - if he actually had the interest to understand them.
âI donât understand,â he admits after she solves the 5th problem in a row effortlessly, âyou seem to have everything down already. How come you didnât pass the test?â
Her eyes skittered nervously away from him. âI was⊠sick,â she mutters. âI couldnât really focus.â
He eyes her closely, observing the sudden change in her countenance. Usually Krista was all easy smiles, twinkle in her blue eyes. Now, she looks uneasy, unwell almost. Deciding it wasnât his place to pry, â⊠Well, I guess I turned out to be the lucky one in all this,â he grins, â⊠I get to hang out with you and have you do my assignment.â
She rolls her eyes. To be honest, sheâd enjoyed the past couple of evenings with him. Eren was easy to talk to, despite being somewhat of an airhead and being completely incapable of anything remotely math related. But regardless, he made her laugh and just about forget what happened the morning before she showed up for this test, with fresh tears choking her throat, and purpling bruises on her thighs.
âI guess you owe me then,â she quips back, smugly.
â⊠I definitely do,â he says smoothly, green eyes watching her in a way that makes her feel warm. âHow can I make it up to you?â
Flustered, because she hadnât expected his easy response, she mumbles, â⊠Dinner?â And with red cheeks hidden by her blonde bangs, she whispers, âI like pizza.â
âŠ
iv.
She finds him at the end of the day, on one of the wooden tables outside the basketball court, chin resting in his hands, eyes glued to his laptop.
â⊠Hey,â she breathes, giggling when startled green eyes flash up to her, body jerking in surprise.
âDamn, you got me,â he grins, pushing his laptop away and leaning up for a brief kiss. Sheâs happy to return it, and she lets her fingers wind into his hair, enjoying it for a moment longer.
âMmm,â she mumbles, âI saw you closing that browser window,â she teases, wrestling control of his laptop, âwatcha lookinâ at?â
When she manages to open his browser history â much to Erenâs protest â her eyes widen. âWomenâs dresses, spring collection??â She waggles her eyebrows at him.
â⊠Itâs not for me,â he grumbles, deciding to make it painstakingly clear before Krista enthusiastically begins to tell him what dress would suit him the most â he knows his girlfriend, crossdressing would be absolutely acceptable, if not encouraged â and he watches her eyes feign disappointment.
â⊠Boring,â she sighs, rolling her pretty blue eyes, âI donât see how youâre not curious about how you look in a dress,â â she gasps, hand flying over her mouth, âWait⊠was that⊠a surprise⊠for me?â
â⊠Um,â Eren starts, intelligently, because the situation that was already awkward in his opinion, just became even more so. âWell,â he gulps, taking in the sparkle in her eyes, knowing fully well just how much she likes surprises, feeling guilty even thought he neednât be, âitsformikasa.â
He hangs his head in apparent apology, but more so because he doesnât want to see the disappointment flit across her features.
â⊠Oh.â
He chances a glance at her, and thereâs no particular emotion per se, and it worries him, because she gets this faraway look in her eye sometimes, and he canât really tell whatâs going on, and theyâve only been together a few months and heâs not an expert in reading her silences â
âI see, is it for her birthday or something?â Her tone is measured, and sheâs looking pointedly at the screen.
âUm⊠yeah.â Eren sighs, wondering what the hell was up with his own reaction. He had nothing to feel guilty about â where did that even come from anyway? â Mikasaâs his⊠family (or something). Shopping for her was normal. He did it every year. This isnât something he needed to hide.
âYeah, itâs next month,â he says, giving her a smile. There was no need for this to be awkward if he didnât make it so. Besides, it wasnât like he was buying her lingerie or something! (he brushed this thought aside faster than the red blush crept up his neck)
âDo you think, you could help me with it?â He blurts this out, partially in an attempt to distract the weird atmosphere, and also partially because he could really use the help.
Krista blinks. âErr, yeah. Sure.â She pulls up Mikasaâs profile on Instagram. âLetâs see,â she murmurs⊠Turtlenecks⊠Jeans⊠a ridiculously modest swimsuit that she wore to a pool party two years ago. The sexiest outfit on her entire profile was probably her in her tennis shorts and that had more to do with Mikasaâs undeniably ripped body than anything else.
She looks up at Eren, whoâs still looking at her tentatively, green eyes unsure.
This whole thing was silly anyway, she thinks, offering him a genuine smile. He and Mikasa were close (and they lived together, which she did her best not to think about), but this wasnât a surprise so itâs about time that it came up in some way in their relationship. In any case, she hadnât felt any hostility from the raven-haired beauty and Eren was usually quite forthcoming about everything, so she didnât really have anything to worry about.
âSo, um, does she have a favourite colour or something?â Sheâs eager to kill the awkward mood and is grateful to see his shoulders visibly relax as he ponders.
â⊠Red, I think. Maybe, like, a darker shade. Sort of⊠maroon, yâknow?â He thinks of the scarf he gave Mikasa when they were younger. It was a ratty, yet fluffy maroon thing which she was absolutely terrible at tying, but she wears it everywhere during the winter, even though his father had a bought her a better one at some point.
They peruse their options for a bit, and Krista picks out a deep red number, a shimmery satin one, with slinky straps and a slit that travels up an already high hemline. It wasnât really a spring dress but more of a cocktail night outfit, and Eren is weirdly embarrassed thinking of Mikasa in it.
He eyes the screen incredulously. â⊠Somehow, I just canât picture Mikasa wearing something like that.â He opens up another link, to a denim overall dress, â⊠now this, she would wear.â
âAnd that,â Krista retorts, âis why sheâs still single. She has an amazing body; she should flaunt it.â
â⊠What would she wear it to?â Eren asks, unconvinced. (Also, what was wrong with Mikasa being single?) â⊠Student council meetings? Debate competitions?! I just,â â
âParties, Eren,â she says, exasperated, â⊠itâs high school!â
âYou know she doesnâtâ â
âDrag her to some! Câmon, weâre going to be seniors soon. Sheâll thank you for it!â
âŠ
v.
Six hours later, sheâs closing up her shift at her part-time job. Itâs a job sheâd rather keep hidden â from her friends at school and the law â because she isnât sure what the age policy was in these kinds of establishments. It worked out because it was close enough to home, and between her and the bartender, the tips compensated the poor wages. Plus, the bartender â a slightly older girl named Ymir with a pretty fringe and a sharp tongue â was genuinely fan to hang out with. And she was surprisingly protective of the small blonde, particularly with the rougher customers, whom Ymir scared off quite effectively with her glares.
âSo,â she says, as she scrubs the counter clean, â⊠I helped my boyfriend buy a dress today.â Â
She doesnât turn back to see her, but she can hear Ymirâs raised eyebrows as she says, cheekily, â⊠I didnât realize you guys were into that stuff.â
Snorting, she replies, âWell that would be interesting. But no, it was for his, um, friend. Or something.â Or something, because sometimes Eren refers to Mikasa as his best friend, sometimes his family, and sometimes it just felt like⊠something else, basically.
She turns around to look at Ymir, who says nothing, continuing to rinse the rest of the glasses. âHer nameâs Mikasa,â she continues, her voice getting oddly unsure, âTheyâve known each other forever. They even⊠live together.â
â⊠What,â Ymir stares at her in disbelief.
âItâs not like that,â Krista finds herself sounding defensive, âErenâs dad is her guardian⊠or something. Has been for some years. So, itâs not like they moved in togetherâŠâ
She elects to skip the part where Erenâs dad is a doctor with Doctors without Borders and is barely home for more than a couple of months a year. She didnât like the look Ymir was giving her anyway.
âSo⊠theyâre like brother-sister or what?â
âNo,â she says, realizing that the word came out more vehement than she intended. But she knows that was definitely not the way Eren saw their relationship.
â⊠Krista,â Ymir starts, and the blonde can tell by the tone of her voice that sheâs going to get all protective on her, â⊠I know youâre in high school, and⊠youâre dating â as you should â but you donât have to waste your time on shady boys.â
At this she laughs because, âErenâs not shady, heâs a nice guy,â â
â⊠You could get anyone you want; I mean look at you, youâre beautiful.â
The defense that was bubbling up in her throat suddenly stilled, because thereâs something about the way Ymir just said that â called her beautiful â earnestly, quietly, and it made her feel funny. It took her breath away for a very brief second and replaced it with a warm flush that creeps up her neck.
Itâs strange, sheâs heard it before from so many boys with obvious motivations; Erenâs always calling her pretty, and complimenting her eyes or whatever⊠But when Ymir said it, and looked at her like that, honey brown eyes, deep with unnamed emotion, all she could do was avert her eyes.
âŠ
vi.
Itâs 7pm and the libraryâs home only to the nerds by now. The librarian is lax (and underpaid) enough to ignore the low buzz of two over-enthusiastic AP chemistry students that grates on Mikasaâs ears.
Ordinarily sheâd just plug her earphones in and ignore the world to focus on the assignment at hand. But today she accepts anything to distract her from the scene earlier at home. And even though Arminâs sitting right next to her, supposedly doing his own thing, she doesnât miss the worried glances he sends her every now and then, which she really doesnât want to address.
Her feelings for Eren were a well-known secret by now, just as well-known as the fact that he clearly didnât return those feelings, so she wasnât particularly in the mood for Arminâs indulgent pity⊠regardless of how well-intentioned it was.
So, when its 8pm and the librarian is shooing them out, and she bumps into Jean, sheâs grateful for the few extra minutes of conversation surrounding absolutely nothing important.
When they continue to the parking lot, their conversation having progressed from awkward conversation starters to an animated discussion on Jeanâs tennis form, Arminâs well and truly realized that he has no place here.
After Arminâs said his goodbyes and Mikasa recognizes that she doesnât mind staying away from home and possibly Eren and Krista in the middle of their 5th round, she asks Jean, â⊠so do you like Chinese food?â
âŠ
When she walks in a little after 10 pm, cheeks cold from the night air, thereâs a small grin on her cheeks, because sheâs made a new friend today, whose company she genuinely enjoyed.
But when she enters the living room to see Eren fast asleep on the couch, she finds herself staring in the face of the reality sheâd tried so hard to escape. Itâs difficult to ignore the ruffled quality of his brown hair, mussed up in a way that could only have been achieved by someone (a very blonde, very beautiful someone) raking their hands through it.
She canât help the wave of irritation that sweeps through her - so she doesnât bother to soften her footsteps as she walks up the wooden stairs.
Minutes later, she hears his sleepy voice at her door. âHey,â he says, and she can hear the smile in his voice, âyou were out pretty late, so I left you some dinner. We made pasta, itâs not as good as yours but,â -
â⊠I ate already,â she says, tone clipped.
âOh.â Heâs quiet, just watching her put her things away, and thereâs irrational tears pricking at her eyes, anger, and frustration that she knows she doesnât have the right to, so she doesnât turn to acknowledge him. â⊠Mikasa, are youâŠ,â he clears his throat, â⊠is something wrong?â
When she says nothing, he sighs, turning, â⊠Well, if you want to talk about it, you know Iâm always here,â -
â⊠Could you please go over to Kristaâs house next time?â
She colours, surprised at herself for her outburst of honesty. But her blush pales in comparison to Erenâs as he processes what sheâs saying. â⊠This is my house,â he sputters, â⊠I donât think itâs unreasonable for me to want to bring my girlfriend over.â
âWell, itâs not just âbringing her overâ, is it?â
His eyes widen in disbelief. â⊠What I do with Krista, in my personal space, is definitely not your business, Mikasa.â
âIt is when I can hear it, Eren,â she retorts, as he shuts the door forcefully behind him.
âŠ
vii.
Itâs been two weeks since that⊠confrontation, and Mikasaâs barely spoken to him since.
She leaves before he does, makes sure dinnerâs left out on the stove for him, whether he needs it or not, and locks her door when sheâs done. And although heâs found himself staring awkwardly at that shut door multiple times, heâs never had the courage to actually knock.
He simply cannot comprehend this situation because despite the numerous arguments theyâve had in the past - it was always him, whining about something like a petty child and sulking till he got his way - sheâd never truly been mad at him. And sheâd never, ever, gone days without talking to him. And as he stares at the locker next to his (it was Mikasaâs) with a horrible ache in his chest, he is well and truly sure that he loathes this situation.
So, when small hands reach around his waist, enveloping him in a tight embrace, his subconscious reaction is to jerk back in annoyance. âI didnât realise it was you,â he murmurs apologetically, rubbing her hands softly.
â⊠Who else would it be?â Krista asks, somewhat thrown off by this mood that had been festering for days now.
âYou ask some very valid questions there, babe,â he mutters, a distracted half-smile on his face.
Taking a deep breath (determined to shake him out of his pensive aura), she whispers, â⊠You know, I donât have work today.â She leans against him, reaching up to murmur in his ear, âwe could hang out at yours for a while, if you want?â
She makes it clear what she means by âhanging outâ by the way she presses up against him, and even though heâs responded with fervent enthusiasm to a similar invitation in the past, today he just averts his gaze, awkwardly.
Swallowing the rejection with a graceful exterior, she puts an armâs length of distance between them. â⊠Whatâs going on, Eren? Your headâs been somewhere else all week.â
And before he starts to stay that itâs nothing, just that he has some stuff going on, she says, â⊠does this have something to do with Mikasa?â
His green gaze jerks up at her, startled with unfortunate honesty. â⊠I havenât seen you talk to her all week.â
ââŠI,â he starts, but his throat closes up, for some reason, unsure whether he should really tell her what happened. He doesnât want to put her in the middle of something that was clearly between him and Mikasa.
But with every passing second, the guilty look on his face only begins to feed the fears that she had successfully kept dormant all this while. â⊠Did something happen between the two of you?â
And when he looks into her eyes, bright blues seeping insecurity, he says, hurriedly, â⊠wait, I hope you arenât thinking that we,â - he inhales sharply, wondering how he manages so successfully to upset the women in his life - âGod, no. We had a misunderstanding, thatâs all. She said something, I was pretty rude to her, and I shouldnât have been.â
âAnd,â he murmurs, admitting it to himself, finally, âIâve just taken too long to apologize.â
âŠ
Sheâs barely finished washing the vegetables for dinner, when she hears the thud of the front door closing loudly.
(She remembers Carla reprimanding him every time, for not being gentler)
Mikasa has managed to avoid Eren successfully these past days, because she knows his schedule, knows that despite his complete lack of organization, heâs fairly predictable. And with his recent interest in a particular cheerleader, he almost invariably never comes home before 8.30 PM. So, when she hears him enter their kitchen at little over 7, she isnât prepared.
She isnât prepared because sheâs been quite cowardly, saying things that she had no business saying, and then being unable to own up to it, unable to apologize to him. Because she knew that when she looks at him, sheâll feel the way she feels right now - taking in the sight of him, drizzle droplets fresh in his brown hair, as he runs a hand through it, his mouth twisting into an awkward grin. She knew sheâd realize that her feelings for Eren were never really much of a choice, they just were. Â
â⊠I brought your favourite dumplings from Liâs,â he announces. âAnd I brought an extra serving of the spicy soy sauce so we donât have to fight over who gets the last bit.â
âŠ
Heâs grateful for the small smile that forms on her face when she accepts the dumplings (the peace treaty as he calls it in his head), and for the small banter that she indulges him in as they eat.
After theyâre stuffed with dumplings and inconsequential conversation, he clears his throat, because he remembers he came home early tonight with a certain conviction.
But as she does with most things, she beats him to it. â⊠Eren, about the other day,â she looks at him earnestly, â⊠I had no right to demand that of you. Iâm sorry.â
And when heâs still quiet, she mumbles quickly, âI donât know what got into me that day, honestly, I,â -
âDonât apologise, Mikasa,â he says, a strange disquiet taking over him as he replays her words, â⊠the last thing I want, is to make you feel uncomfortable.â Or to make you feel like you canât demand what you want from me.
This is the part that settles into him slowly, that somehow, the one person in his life that heâs always felt he could ask anything of, could demand anything of, and actually receive it without fail⊠she didnât feel that she could count on the same from him. And it twisted painfully inside of him.
âI appreciate that, Eren. But honestly, Iâll get used to it⊠so donât worry.â She smiles, in that genuine way of hers, small lips, curving shyly, â⊠and who knows, maybe someday Iâll want to âbring someone overâ too.â
She laughs as she does the air quotes and even though he manages a small grin in response, all he can say, without really meaning it, is â
âYeah⊠Of course, yeah.â
âŠ
 viii.
 She takes her frustration out on the cash register. â⊠Damn thing doesnât open when I need it to, and doesnât close when I want it to,â she mutters under her breath.
 âYou just need to show it some love,â Ymir says, amused, promptly closing the problematic register without any difficulty. â⊠Go sit, Iâll close up here.â
 She does as sheâs told, pouting slightly, but sheâs grateful for the older girlâs help and understanding. âSo⊠want a beer before I close the tap?â Ymir asks with a wink.
 âYou need to stop offering underage girls alcohol,â Krista whispers, scanning the room hastily.
 The brunette rolls her eyes. âYou need to stop with the innocent act every time. Youâre a hot cheerleader for godâs sakes, everyone knows what goes on at your high school parties,â  -
 âOk ok,â she acquiesces, suppressing the blush at Ymirâs offhanded compliment and deciding that that there was no point in panicking every time they did this, â⊠but only if you join me.â
 âCheers,â Ymir says, offering her glass to Kristaâs and taking a generous gulp. âSo, tell me. Boy trouble, again?â
 Krista nurses her drink slowly before taking a sip.
 To Krista, Eren was a breath of fresh air. He didnât hover, he didnât foam at the mouth every time she spoke to another guy, didnât hound her if she didnât pick up his phone call.
 Does he even care? Ymir had asked her once scathingly, but she had disregarded it, grateful for the freedom she felt in his embrace. Freedom from toxic attachment, from past trauma or unresolved baggage like the one she was destined to carry. When she was around him, she had felt different. Lighter almost, as if this persona that she had created for herself could actually have a shot at happiness after all.
 But lately sheâd begun to wonder if sheâd just been fooling herself⊠again. Sheâd begun to question if she had just convinced herself to see the promise of something that was never there.
 â⊠I thought this guy was one of the good ones,â Ymir says, watching Krista closely.
 âHe isâŠâ she sighs, âHe is one of the good ones. Itâs justâŠâ she trails off, unsure if she should give voice to her thoughts. âAh fuck it, Iâm just feeling a little insecure, itâll be fineâŠâ
 â⊠Is this about that sexy flatmate of his?â
 She winces, feeling exposed. It often felt that way with Ymir. Like there was no point to any of the barriers she had worked so hard in constructing.
 âShe is attractive,â Krista admits, begrudgingly. â⊠Iâm only surprised Eren hasnât noticed that.â Â
 â⊠But thatâs what youâre worried about, arenât you? That he has noticed that of late?â Ymir narrows her eyes at Krista. âYou should just ask him about it!â
 âI did,â she states defensively, â⊠and he said there was nothing,â -
 â⊠Oh, sure thereâs nothing. I canât believe he thinks he can lie to you and get away with it,â -
 âYmir, I trust him, heâs my boyfriend,â -
 âBut thatâs the problem with you. You just trust everyone, and you let them walk all over you. You did this with Reiner and now with,â -
 âOk,â she whispers, âStop it, Ymir.â
 â⊠Krista, you need to trust your gut about this sort of thing. If your gut is telling you that heâs a lying asshole, then you should just dump his ass and,â -
 â⊠See this is why I didnât want to tell you about this,â she cries, her voice rising In frustration. Because this is how itâs always been with Ymir, no one she dates is ever good enough, no decision she makes is ever smart enough.
 âYouâre always shitting on my boyfriends. And I know you were justified about the last one, but,â her voice cracks just a little bit, because at the end of it all, she just feels weak, â⊠it feels like youâre just taking a massive crap on me as well.â
 âI didnât mean,â Ymir starts apologetically, brown eyes remorseful, â⊠look, that wasnât my intention.â
 She takes her hand, slowly, lets her long fingers intertwine with Kristaâs smaller, dainty ones.  The crumpled expression on Kristaâs features has her regretting ever opening her big mouth. But she was tired of seeing one person after another, enter her Kristaâs life, and undo the progress she was trying so desperately to make.
â⊠The truth is,â she takes a deep breath, ready to unleash a truth thatâs been stifled for so long, she canât even remember when it first sprouted, âI think youâre pretty fucking amazing. And I see you wasting all your time and your feelings on these stupid boys who donât deserve you.â The words come out quickly, rushed almost. A sharp contrast to how long theyâve festered in Ymirâs chest, growing and growing until these feelings knew no reason.
 Ymir doesnât look at her, she keeps her gaze focused on Kristaâs hand, afraid of what might happen if Krista understands the depth of feeling behind her words. But more important than her feelings, there were some things she wanted Krista to see clearly.
 âDid you tell him about your father, Krista? What he does to you when his wife isnât looking?â
 Krista tugs on her hand, a wave of unbridled panic spreading at the mention of her father. âI trusted you with that information, Ymir, you promised youâd never bring it up,â -
 â⊠Did you tell him your real name?â
 She canât answer this question, even though she knows the answer, knows itâs an emphatic ânoâ - but she cannot answer because thereâs an overwhelming lump in her throat, and itâs taking everything from her to barely keep it together.
 â⊠Let go of me, Ymir,â she pleads, and thatâs when Ymir loosens her grip.
 â⊠You trusted me to keep quiet about your secrets - and Iâm fine with that. Iâm fine with doing anything you ask of me,â her teeth grit together, because she doesnât know, Krista doesnât know just how much she would do. Â
 âYou asked me not to do anything about the fact that your father is hurting you, and it even though it kills me, I listened to you. But now I see you hurting yourself in this farcical relationship with fabricated feelings for some boy who doesnât treat you the way you deserve, and I donât know if I can be quiet about that anymore.â
 And because itâs grown too large, too much to keep inside of her anymore, she whispers, âI love you, Historia. And if you want me to let go of you, I will. But,â she brushes her lips gently against Kristaâs cheek, â⊠You can trust me with your secrets, and your heart, if youâd let me, because I could take care of you.â She feels a warm tear roll down Kristaâs cheek and her heart clenches, â⊠I could make you happy.â
 âŠ

 â⊠I really appreciate you making time for this,â she murmurs, as she watches him lay the white lilies at her parentâs grave.
 He always remembers, without her prompting, because the first time heâd come with her, sheâd spent hours crying at their gravestone, telling him tear-filled anecdotes of the dishes her Mama cooked, the bedtime stories her Papa told, the flowers that they used to grow in their garden together (white lilies).
 âCâmon Mikasa,â he rolls his eyes at her, â⊠we do this every year. Why wouldnât I make time for this?â And why the hell are you thanking me?
 She canât really explain it to him, the possibly childish notion that she thought he might be too busy with his girlfriend to remember the death anniversary of her parents. She regrets doubting him, regrets that of late sheâs been so clouded by petty jealousy, that she hasnât truly appreciated how little heâs changed around her.
 âItâs ridiculous,â she confesses, softly, â⊠youâve given me everything. A home⊠A family.â She smiles at him, somewhat blurry. âBut I canât help it, every year on this day, my mind always goes back to that⊠moment. I lost them⊠in what felt like the blink of an eye.â
 He tenses, as he always does when he sees her upset, or shedding a tear. There is a fundamental part of him that deeply despises the sadness on her features; it makes him feel helpless. So, he does the only thing he can - he wraps an arm around her, tucking her face into his shoulder as she snuggles into him.
 âI miss them every day. But you saved me, Eren,â she whispers, dark eyes looking up at him with a gratefulness that he has never known how to accept, and never felt worthy of. â⊠and now I have you.â
 Her voice trails off, almost wistful. â⊠I guess the world really can be cruel but beautiful at the same time.â
 âŠ
 x.
 When he stops to think about it, he supposes it really is ridiculous it took them so long to get here. And by here he means - Mikasa wrapped securely in his arms, in his lap, on their couch, taking advantage of the privacy theyâve had all along.
 He feels her tongue flick against his - it makes him shiver - and he can do little more than just wrap himself around her tighter, and sigh into her kiss. Her fingers make their way into his hair, cradling his head, pressing sweet kisses on the side of his mouth, on his jaw, and on the sensitive spot beneath his ear.
 And because Mikasaâs always been a quick study (sheâs learnt what he likes, what heâs weak for), he stills her exploration (very reluctantly) before she goes too far.
 âAre you okayâŠ?â He whispers, rubbing a thumb along the dried tear stains on her cheek â a reminder of her tears, of knowing the pain that heâd caused her, bubbled quietly within him, having been quelled temporarily by the glorious feeling of having her in his arms.
 She laughs, shaking her head, â⊠I love you. I canât believe I finally get to say it.â She rests her forehead against his, a happy smile forming on her lips.
 â⊠You could have said it ages ago; you know. No one asked you to keep it inside for this long.â Even though he teases her with his words, his lips drift back to hers, brushing softly, unable to stay away for too long.
 â⊠Well, you never know, I actually might have said it. If it wasnât for, you know, you having a girlfriend.â He senses the eye roll, the teasing lilt of her voice, but he canât help but regret the time he wasted. Because even though Krista was a dear friend, and there were no ill intentions there, now that he is here, chest to chest with the girl he loves, he only wishes heâd been here sooner.
 âYouâre going to use that against me forever, arenât you?â
 She grins in response. â⊠I have a question though.â
 âShoot,â he murmurs, nibbling against her lower lip.
 â⊠Whyâd you guys break up?â
 He groans, kissing her jaw testily. â⊠Do you really want to go into that right now?â
 She hesitates, torn between potentially ruining the mood and needing to know what happened. God knows, she had spent countless nights losing sleep over the details anyway. âIf you donât want to talk about it, itâs okay, I guessâŠâ
 âItâs fine,â he says quickly, realising that if he wanted to set a precedent where she could ask him anything, then itâs best he starts now, â⊠Sheâs in love with someone else. A girl, actually.â
 Her eyes widen, not having expected that turn of events. â⊠Please tell me you didnât ask for a threesome.â
 âWhat the fuck, Mikasa, of course not!â He pulls back, offended.
 âGood,â she murmurs cheekily, âIâve raised you well.â
 âHmm,â he hums, âSpeaking of âraising meâ, you should probably stop saying stuff like that. Do you know that Connie asked if you were like a âsisterâ to me?â
 He grins, seeing the shocked expression on her face. Thatâs exactly how he had felt when he was posed that question, with a little mortification added to the mix. â⊠Is that really how everyone sees our⊠relationship?â
 His fingers drift to hers, where they rest on his chest. âWeâve been living together for a while now,â he caresses her knuckles absentmindedly, âKids our age⊠they donât really understand it, I guess. Anyway, it doesnât matter.â
 âMy turn: I have a question for you,â he murmurs. This is a question heâs long considered, stopped only by his embarrassment, fielding it from others only to put the vaguest labels on it.
 â⊠What am I to you, Mikasa?â
 The question throws her, because even though sheâs told him candidly how she feels, that she loves him, she always has, he is asking her, right now, to define their relationship.
 The very notion, the expression that flits on her tongue, bubbles up in her heart with an exciting warmth, even though she hopes this is just temporary, that it will grow, that Eren is so many things and will be so many things to her that she cannot possibly define right now - â⊠My boyfriend, of course.â

A/N:Â i've been really nervous to post em, because its just been so long, and the writer that wrote chap 1 is different from the one that wrote chap 2, and honestly i dont even know if there are inconsistencies. so my request to you, dear reader, is to please let me know if i have made any fuck ups in writing this - or if you have any ideas for pacing, or storytelling that could possibly help me improve.
also there will be a chapter 3 focusing on eremikaâs sexual exploration~

I know you posted it days ago but you said something about wanting to rant about either karl or his fanbase and its been itching at my brain. Ive no clue whats happening or what is happening at all cause no one seems to be making clear points?? Or explaining anything?
Obviously you do NOT have to talk about it im sure it might be a sore point to rant because people can get SO needlessly rude to others over it. But if you want to idk explain? Just rant? Im definetly curious what it was over or about.
The "you dont need to talk about this" is amplified by the fact i am DAYS late and you are probably over it by now.
okay hi yes im happy to talk about this but i think i should preface with two things:
1) even tho it may seem like im biased towards him or being very defensive of him im actually a super casual karl viewer and the only reason i am super defensive of him sometimes is bc we act a lot alike irl and that is mainly because of our neurodivegency. when i say a lot i mean we share traits like "annoying" stimming (jumping around, making loud noises, repeating the same phrases until everyone is sick of hearing them), the difficulty reading situations, the very obvious issues with volume control and not just bouncing from subject to subject to subject as we fucking please. basically anything you've seen karl do on stream that is Very Neurodivergent ive done the same in my own way which is why i get defensive when i see people calling him annoying or saying they dont like him, usually for these types of reasons. that being said, when i say im a very casual karl viewer, i fucking mean it. i usually only watch him when he's streaming with other ccs i like or when he's doing chill alt streams bc even with the annoying donos, he's pretty relaxing and comforting when he's just fucking around by himself and he isnt trying to get as hype as he would on a main channel stream. so yeah, it may seem like im biased and sure, i guess i am on some level, but it's not coming from a place of me hyperfixating on him or me even loving him as a cc, it's coming from me being a neurodivergent who likes him just enough to get upset when i see people basically being casually ableist towards him.
2) i dont have all the facts or even a great understanding on what the fuck has been happening recently with his "drama"...mostly bc he talked about it on his priv, which im not on, and people are gatekeeping the tweets, as they always do, and basically making you "dm to see them" (which is already a problem in and of itself bc apparently in these tweets he said he didnt want them being ss and shared, yet they are being shared thru dms over and over and over again like. at that point just stop withholding the information and post the fucking shit, you clearly dont care that he said "dont share"). additionally, most of the threads ive seen on this situation havent actually explained the initial issue, just talked about his apology (a lot of people have said "it's bad" but havent said why and with no screenshots ((i havent asked for someone to dm me them and i still havent seen them posted, which is mildly surprising, but incredibly frustrating at this point)), i only have a few basic details i can actually assess it on) or they talked about the initial issue in very vague details so um. excuse me trying to explain this now, but ill try and make it make sense with how little ive actually pieced together.
(oh, also, here's my first rant about the ableism in this fandom which is way more broad. this is a pretty different rant from that one, but they're both pretty big reasons why i hate this fandoms treatment of karl)
so basically the problems started with mr beast being apart of a charity stream that donated either to autism speaks or to a similar company, im unsure on that part. im also unsure on if the people participating in the stream actually knew of this or not bc, from what i remember, the money was being donated to a separate organization that was like. under the bad company or some shit like that, idk how stuff like that works and also i read about this shit months ago bc this originally happened months ago and just sorta came to a head recently.
anyways, i think karl was supposed to be apart of this stream but pulled out of it right before (that or these were two separate streams and karl was supposed to participate in the first but pulled out while mr beast did both?? idk. regardless karl did not actually participate, just mr beast). from there people started doing the guilt from association bullshit they always do, this was also doubled by the fact that the chris being racist stuff came out sometime around then and basically he got dragged all over twitter for "being ableist" and "supporting racists" and i cant remember if he actually apologized when this originally happened or not. i vaguely remember him apologizing about something back then but i genuinely dont know if it was this or something else.
basically that died down eventually, a good chunk of people unstanned him but him and honktwt didnt end up getting the lovely lil technotwt treatment and they still havent yet, surprisingly. good for them honestly ajsksk
but now we get to the past few weeks and apparently something happened with him "laughing at someone saying the r slur" (it was mizkif, i believe), specifically when it was directed at other people, which is a big yikes, obviously, but when karl was called out for this a lot of people kind of. made this into a situation that it wasnt bc um. basically karl didnt laugh at it, he gave a few nervous giggles, as people often do when in a situation like that (and karl specifically said he does this in the one part of his apology tweet which i did stumble upon, although it wasnt the important part of the apology thread bc why would it be) and people fucking crucified him for it. they quite literally dragged a neurodivergent man for supposedly "laughing at the r slur" when he can literally reclaim it and also he was just nervous laughing.
and this is where the situation just gets really bad because they. basically forced him to admit that he was autistic on his priv to apologize for this. i havent seen the screenshots of him saying this, but i saw people discussing it and i am frankly so fucking pissed about this because sure, it was a bad situation, and i understand people wanting an explanation, but an apology? for a neurodivergent man nervous laughing at a slur he can reclaim? and then forcing the man to admit something he literally said in that tweet he didnt want people to know which is why people were being so gatekeepy about it while also LOUDLY discussing the situation, as if that wouldnt drive MORE PEOPLE to look for screenshots and ways to get ahold of this information? and then people had the audacity to call it a "bad apology" when they had quite literally just violated his privacy by forcing him to admit something that he shouldnt have needed to share in the first place if he didnt want to, which he didnt.
and this is why im so pissed off. karl is already constantly picked at and made fun of and called annoying for his neurodivergent traits, things which he literally cant help, things which are generally harmless, and now he was forced into a situation where he can now be further picked at and made fun of and called annoying bc they forced him to admit something private instead of just understanding and accepting that he had been nervous laughing at someone using a slur he has definetly been called for his neurodivergency.
tldr of my thoughts: yes i think karl needed to address this situation, it definetly looked bad, but twitter stans have this sense of entitlement with their ccs and because of that, they consistently take it way too far and harm the people they claim to care about so dearly. we've seen it happen time and time again with dream, but this is the first time ive seen them basically force someone to out themselves to make their apology "valid" and most of them still seem to not want to accept it anyways, which just makes me feel bad for him bc now that info is out their and people are just disregarding it to continue "holding him accountable".
anyways, i think that's all i can really say on this topic rn tbh, if anyone else knows this situation better please feel free to lmk clarifications and ill add them in since, like i said, i know fuck all thanks to twitter being so goddamn hush hush about the important details while simultaneously being the loudest mfers about how much they hate karl now instead of just fucking unfollowing and moving on.
thanks for the ask and im sorry if this is confusing!! i just think this is one of those weird situations where like. i think karl deserved some criticism for what happened and how he handled it or at least he shouldve been asked to address it but that just. isnt what happened, at all. he was harrassed. karl got harrassed and because of that he handled this situation even more sloppily than he probably wouldve and exposed private info about himself that he didnt feel comfortable doing and it just. fucking sucks tbh.
#shit self#asks#karl jacobs#discourse#fandom critical#mcyt fandom critical#dsmp fandom critical#ask to tag#ableism#only reason im even saying what he said in those tweets is bc this situation literally makes no sense otherwise and basically everyone on#twt already fucking exposed this shit to people in and outside the fandom by bitching#long post#bangerz
