one of my favorite instances of teen wolf throwing in random narrative shit that happens entirely off screen is that scene at the end of season 2 that implies that isaac spent the entire summer between s2 and s3 stuck working to find/keep track of the alpha pack with not only derek, but also with peter, because can you imagine what like 2 months of cooperation between that cataclysmic trio of characters would be like, imagine you're like 16 years old and it's your summer break and you have to spend it getting dragged around by your 20-something de facto guardian and his pathological freak of an uncle looking for some group of ultra powerful supernatural dickheads when you probably have like, summer reading you're supposed to be doing for your english class, i'd leave derek's ass after that too

i saw this post the other day about annabeth and how she doesn't have a birth certificate because she was never technically born. and that raises so many interesting questions. like, does she even legally exist? does she have a fake ID? i don't need sleep. i need answers.

that person blocked me and said i'm "on the wrong side of queer history" thinking i'm a heterosexual homophobe, girl i'm gay AND i transitioned in 2011 when your dumb ass didnt even know what transgender meant LMAOOOO meanwhile the mastectomy gofundme on their page fondly recalls being jealous of women with breast cancer. because we all know how lucky those women are.

We got 11 for the ask game yet ?

"You're kidding me," Heatwave says.

Boulder, Blades and Chase all shake their helms.

Heatwave's eyebrows go up, disappearing past the brim of his helmet. "So... do just not have mechs who care about you...?"

The three of them exchange a glance. Boulder's shoulders lift up to their audials, almost embarrassed.

They really don't know much about Heatwave was raised, but his corner of the room is the only one that actually looks lived in. The rest of them had only brought the absolute necessities (or in Boulder's case, everything they owned- which was a few smuggled nanite patches and a jar of polish Rubble had given them for their forging day last vorn), so besides the calendar on Chase's wall, their berths are barren.

"Well-" Chase starts, at the same time Blades says, "No." Boulder doesn't respond, because the answer is yes, but not the yes that Heatwave wants to hear.

"Oh." Heatwave's mouth pulls into a frown, tugging at the scars on his cheek. "I guess we'll have to fix that."

That startles a harsh, humorless laugh out of Blades. "Oh, please, Heatwave. Fix my upbringing-"

"Not what I meant," Heatwave interrupts, crossing his arms close to his chassis. "I meant like. The pillows and the blankets. I can fix that."

"No, you can't," Chase says, crossing his own arms as his finials pin back and his doorwings droop. "I have seen the balance of your credit chip. You will not be able to afford anything in Iacon."

Heatwave gasps in affront. "I so can-"

"Look, I have an allowance, I can afford my own stuff-" Blades starts, clearly trying to avoid a fight.

"I also have more shanix than you," Chase tells Heatwave. "I can also purchase my own items."

"That's not the point," Heatwave growls, pinching the bridge of his nose between two fingers. "I wanna do something nice for you guys! Besides, there's definitely places in Iacon where I can afford pillows and blankets. You-" he points accusingly at Chase, "-just don't know where to look!"

Chase's doorwings shoot up, offended. "You-"

"Okay, okay, that's enough." Boulder places themselves in between the two before the argument can escalate even further. "Here's an idea. All go together to one of Heatwave's stores and we pool our shanix to buy what we want. Does that sound good?"

Blades grabs Boulder's arm and holds tight, pressing against them in a silent Thank you!. Heatwave and Chase both stare at them balefully, before conceding and letting Boulder push them apart.

"Thank you," they say, then turn to Heatwave. "So where are these affordable shops?"

====================

Boulder was raised not to want material things. Boulder was raised believing they weren't worth material things.

They would've been fine with one pillow and one blanket. Maybe even just the blanket. But their roommates are truly a force to be reckoned with-

-which is why the four of them are stumbling through the streets of Iacon on the way home, arms piled so high with soft things that they can barely see over them. Chase has already run into Blades three times and Heatwave has almost been hit by a transport.

It should feel bad. Boulder should feel guilty for giving into temptation and taking more than they're worth.

But somehow- somehow it feels like this is what they're worth. That they deserve to have friends and nice things and a soft berth to recharge in.

Rubble would be happy for me, they assure themselves.

I can be happy for me too.

I LOVE UR BRAIN SO BAD 😭😭😭 YOU ALWAYS POST THEBBEST HEADCANONS AND THOUGHTS LIKE. WORK HUSBAND GOJO. AND JUST HAVING A WHOLE IMAGINATION OF THE OFFICE W NANAMI AND HIGURUMA AND TOJI I?????? I WANT TO LIVE IN YOUR BRAIN

TEEHEEEE you’re so sweet <33333 the work husband to actual husband to househusband gojo pipeline is so so real to me and the office au that comes with it truly does take up space in my brain, so here’s some more loosely established points 

satoru has been your work husband since you got your first job in undergrad. you two met in your dorms, and became friends, and eventually you thought a job would help with your time management skills, so you got a very low-maintenance position at the front desk of the library. satoru applied right after you and schmoozed the two little old librarians into giving him the same shifts as you. that was probably the first moment satoru knew he was a little bit in love with you—because he had no reason to have a job while in school, but this small change in your schedule made him miss you so much that he was moved to get his very first job, probably ever, just to spend more time with you. 

he wasn’t bad at his library receptionist job, but he technically wasn’t good at it, either. if a student asked him for a laptop charger or to check out a book or something, he could do that, but anything else he’d just smile and say, “oh, you’ve gotta ask the pretty girl right there about that, she knows way more than me,” and bat his eyelashes at you. except, then, when you did need to get up to grab something for someone, satoru would just spring up instead, and tell you he’s got it. it’s like… he was incapable of helping anybody else unless he got to flirt with you, and then help you out to help them out……… strange boy 

anyways, satoru makes it a habit to assist you through your student jobs throughout undergrad, and then follows you to the same law school and repeats the process there. (also not to elle woods-ify him a bit but his father heavily questions him going to law school btw because satoru has never showed any interest in working, let alone following in his footsteps to be a lawyer, and now he’s going to law school? his mom is a bit sharper though, because when satoru tells his parents he’s going to the same law school as you, she just smiles and sips her tea and wonders if her son has already made a trip to their family jeweler). 

the firm is large, but the floor you work on is a pretty close knit group. there’s hiromi’s office at the tail end, which is the largest because he’s managing partner and he practically lives in there. on the other end, both you and nanami have decently sized offices. satoru doesn’t like hiromi at first because he thinks he’s mean. then satoru watches him play a little prank on kento, and suddenly the two of them are best friends. it would be a surprisingly wholesome friendship if their common denominator wasn’t irritating kento, and acting as guard dogs for you. 

kento’s office used to be just the bare necessities—law books, his degree, basic furniture, maybe a fancy paperweight, until satoru got his hands on it and decked it out. which is not something kento asked for, nor he thinks is necessary, but that doesn’t stop satoru from continually adding little trinkets and decorations and art to his office to make it livelier. when kento first meets you, he’s surprised when you tell him satoru gojo is going to be your secretary because kento interned for satoru’s father for two summers during law school, but when kento sees you and satoru together for the first time, it answers all of his questions. satoru couldn’t be more of a lovesick fool if he tried. 

listen the ex-convict to single father to janitor to lawyer toji pipeline is so real to me. while toji is working as a janitor at the firm, satoru slips once and then jokes that toji shines the floors too aggressively on purpose to make him slip, toji tells him to fuck off and he can sue for harassment. they truly don’t like each other at first, but once satoru steals toji’s masterkey to get into your office one night after you’re gone to leave flowers, and handle some paperwork to lighten your load in the morning, toji is sort of impressed. he still almost hits him with a broomstick, but even someone as gruff as him can see that satoru had pure intentions. toji is a lot of things, but he’s not immune to or devoid of love or passion. so, eventually he and satoru develop a weird sort of banter and respect for each other. one day someone actually tries to accuse toji of not putting the wet floor sign down and how it’s gonna be a lawsuit because some lowlife janitor fucked up his $3000 suit. satoru catches the argument as he’s heading upstairs and recognized the schmuck as the stuck up lawyer on the other side of kento’s case. satoru’s ready to jump in, but toji’s displaying an impressive amount of physical restraint and legal knowledge that when the dust is all settled, satoru asks him if he ever considered being a lawyer. toji laughs at it at first, but after a month of serious consideration (and megumi becoming a college freshman), he figures it can’t be all that bad. and turns out, toji’s a half-decent lawyer—once you’ve spent so much of your life skirting (or blatantly breaking) the law, you become pretty good at getting people out or around it, too. and with his life experience, he’s a pretty good judge of character; so when it comes time to lock up the bad ones, toji makes sure they get the maximum sentence.

except he has a bad habit of sending out emails with “URGENT: NEEDS ATTN” in the subject, which prompts you, kento, and hiromi to rush to his office, just to see toji with his feet up on his desk tell you that, “the emergency is i hate the opposing counsel, and now that i work on this side of the law i’d really like to not kill him, so somebody else should take this case.” 

anyways back to work husband secretary satoru. he pulls you out of boring meetings under the guise of an urgency, just for him to admit that the emergency is that he missed you, and you two were gonna be late for your lunch reservation. because he’s actually a licensed attorney, he can actually carry out duties an associate otherwise would, which saves you a lot of time and trouble; and it means that satoru gets to work even more closely with you, which is always an upside for him. sometimes you ask him to hand you documents and instead he just hands you his hand. and then pretends to blush and preen like a schoolgirl which always draws way too much attention to the two of you, but there’s no way to stop him either. he takes your coat off of your shoulders when you arrive in the morning, and helps you put it back on in the evening. when you tell him you’re looking for an apartment closer to the firm, he has eight places lined up for viewing, and one surprise at the end which happens to be the other vacant penthouse suite in his apartment building; which, conveniently, would make you satoru’s neighbor. he claims that it’ll be just like in college, but it certainly doesn’t feel that way when you finally move in and satoru can now loudly and proudly proclaim, “see you at home!” in the halls at work now.
