Small character detail I have no good excuse to mention: Hyden hates anything remotely similar to "fast food". This applies to all AUs. He finds greasy, cheap, oversalted/overly sugary food disgusting. Additionally, he hates--HATES--messy food. The only foods he will eat with his hands are ones that are very clean and dry and leave no residue. Getting some sort of sauce or grease on his hands is one of the worst sensations in the world (doubly so when he's a bunny… to be fair, can you imagine eating barbecue while wearing fur mittens? Ew!)

When he was younger, he was slightly more flexible on these limitations. Here he is eating a "ham burger" normally to show how normal he is. He is fitting in with the common man. He is pulling it off. He's got this. Look how relaxed he is. You could almost miss the Rolex on his wrist.

Of course, every rule has its exceptions. As has been mentioned before Hyden often has no idea where food comes from or what goes into it. At some point, somebody failed to mention to him that Cinnabons come from kiosks at the mall and cost less than $100 each. Therefore, they escaped his "fast food is disgusting and I hate it" filter, and, in a modern AU, became one of his favorite desserts. He has a pastry or two each morning with his coffee and then wonders why he never seems to lose any weight.

im completely feral over all your jelsa stories!!!!!! do you ever write established relationship jelsa or have any headcanons about what they would be like together in a serious relationship or marriage????

THANK YOU SO MUCH. 😭😭😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕🙏 thank you thank you nonny for this super sweet ask and this really lovely question and all of your love and support!! 💕💕💕💕💕

i have... never actually written established!relationship (in any fandom), now that i'm thinking about it? that said, i guess i can come up with a quick list of some headcanons, maybe? 😂 i will have to think about this more, but for now, here's a quick drop:

elsa is an early riser; elsa helps jack create more sustainable sleeping patterns and habit formations 😂

when jack gets Impetuous Urges to Do Something Rash and Impractically Spontaneous, elsa will ground jack, reminding him to think before acting. (he occasionally Still Does It, anyway.) elsa knows what she signed up for, lol.

jack loves to play Harmless(!) Pranks, just to watch elsa’s reaction. (he is no longer allowed to sneak up on her after The Incident).

they also quibble over the definition of "harmless" and the specific logistical implications of that; for a while, jack was banned from further pranking, but then he got more creative at showing elsa that pranks could be wholesome and genuine, in which they could both be in on the joke. however, due to elsa's deeply-rooted Need to Excel and her (Not-so)Secret Competitive AF Streak, her retaliation in escalating the Cleverness Prank War quickly resulted in jack's prompt implementation of the Prank-Free Zones and Time Periods. (no, he was not scared.)

elsa, usually reserved, has learned to let her playful side show more often with jack. she might still pretend to be exasperated by his antics, but sometimes it's part of the game (or habit).

elsa sill struggles with opening up emotionally sometimes, but she progressively feels safe enough to share her innermost thoughts and fears. with time, she confides in him more about her worries. she still never likes the idea that jack sees her Imperfect Parts, but at least she can tolerate the discomfort (and, yes, take comfort in it) now

(jack loves elsa's Imperfect Parts, and jack admits that he is Weirdly Proud and Competitively Honored to be one of the only people, even including anna, who gets to see them. he also is strangely Comforted and Validated that elsa is, in fact, not perfect because for a while there, he was pretty freaked out and intimidated by how fancy she is.)

until he realized that no one ever let her actually be a Weirdo before, and once he realizes the Truth of Elsa Also Being a Secret (albeit perhaps more Subdued) Weirdo, the Universe Aligns.

jack listens to elsa's Big Conversations intently, activating varying levels of Serious Mode.

jack is getting better at recognizing the moments when elsa needs him to play and needs him to listen or Give His Opinion or any combination of those things.

jack learns that it's not always about Saying the Right Thing (which he is not very good at, anyway, or so our Serially Unreliable Narrator thinks), but rather being able to read elsa's mood and anticipate what she might need (even if she is not aware of it herself yet).

elsa is meticulous about planning and preparing for special occasions.

elsa likes traditions! jack likes tradition only because elsa likes them, lol, and hey, okay, these are more fun than he thought?? (who knew fun could be organized??!!?)

so he really wants to show (off to) her by pulling off Incredible Planning Feats in her honor, too (they do not go as smoothly, lol).

jack will often go out of his way to spontaneously create something meaningful, a moment or a gift or a gesture, that reminds elsa that he cares. he is big on words of affirmation, gift giving (but like, souvenirs that he collects on adventures like, "i saw this rock and it reminded me of your cousin olaf, we should put it on the window after we paint his face on it"), and acts of service, as well as physical touch and quality time. HE WANTS LOVE. he wants TO BE LOVED. he wants to prove that he is worthy of being loved.

(and elsa has to get him to Chill Out sometimes, remind him that he doesn't have to Do Things For Her/Anyone in order to be deserving of care; he is more than what he provides for other people.)

(jack gets its, and appreciates it, but also, the Urge to Provide and Protect is still strong, even after so much time, and sometimes Old Habits Die Hard.)

i get the sense that he'd be the type to he wake elsa up in the middle of the night to take her on a surprise adventure, or convince her to Do a Fun Thing without any preparation (/warning).

and she would Be Alarmed at the Lack of Plan (especially if/when jack Did Not Think This Through), but he also took precautions to ward off Concerns by pacifying her with tea, or reassurances that yes, he did call ahead to make sure the restaurant was open before they left the house, of course he did, he would never just leave home without double-checking beforehand (and frantically googles it two minutes later when he thinks she's not looking; she is, naturally, and even occasionally pretends not to be).

elsa approaches conflict with a desire to resolve things Calmly and Logically. she tries to understand jack’s perspective, even when she disagrees, and she’s careful with her words, not wanting to escalate the situation.

however, she can sometimes withdraw emotionally, fearing that she might say something hurtful if she’s too overwhelmed.

jack was initially (and, honestly, still is, even though he understands more now) hurt by her tendency to shut down when she Feels Too Much, and understands (although it's still hard) that elsa needs time to process her feelings and organize her thoughts.

jack also helps elsa actually Feel her Feelings, instead of just trying to intellectualize and analyze them. (she hates it, BUT sees the value. jack lives for these moments in which he realizes that he's actually contributing positively to her life and helping her in some way, rather than just being a burden or a nuisance, as was/is his fear.)

his initial reaction might be to push for a resolution quickly, but he’s also deeply afraid of Creating Distance between them, so after the first few fights, he really makes an effort to find the right balance between Pushing Hard Enough and Not Pushing Too hard, so that he doesn't drive a wedge between them as they work things out.

jack FEELS intensely, and can be so stubborn. he does not always have the most precise vocabulary or tools to describe his thoughts and feelings, or identify the root causes of what is actually going on inside him; sometimes elsa asks a lot of insightful and guiding questions that help jack come to the conclusions himself, and other times, she Puts Into Words the very thing that he had been thinking or feeling, but could not name, and it is very reassuring to have someone who understands him well enough to be able to do that.

after conflicts or arguments, they take time to Decompress and reassure one another (especially if at least one of them, if not both, was Overthinking again).

when they argue (and healthy couples do, remember!), it’s a dance of patience and understanding: elsa might need a moment to Collect Herself, and jack learns to give her that Space while also making it clear that he’s ready to talk whenever she is, and that he is going to try very hard to be Rational and Patient About It.

in the end, they both prioritize their relationship over any disagreement, always finding a way back to each other.

@vastiitas said → " You look awful pleased with yourself. " ( unprompted. )

It would be far too vulnerable a thing to admit that this is the first time he's managed a real smile since turning himself in, so Hakkai keeps that piece of information tucked close to his chest.

"That's because you almost fell for it! I wasn't expecting such good results." He flashes Cole a cheerful grin, finding even that just a little bit easier than before. Acting this lighthearted had seemed completely impossible not that long ago—Hakkai supposes he has his cellmate's general disposition to thank for the drastic change. "I'll endeavor to handle myself with more grace in the future."

Not even the false promise can wipe the self-satisfaction off his face. Speaking far too easily, Hakkai continues, "Ah, but I still have no idea how you ended up in here; some would consider it impolite to ask after another person's history without offering up their own."

Can I join you in the shower pls?

"I am not sure if the shower is big enough, unless we sneak into Finan's bathroom."

what's a sane amount of ex-wives to have by age 39

auditions are closed, @wellfell said he's not allowed to have any, also tied the red string of fate around his dick, no sex 'til marriage, losing it to each other on their wedding night for sure 😌💦💦

❝ yeah, my family owns a mountain. well, like, most of it … like, the peak?? heh ... enough to call it mount washington, but it's actually called blackwood mountain — connected to blackwood pines. it's a whole thing. ❞

a whole community, or more it was. some parts thrived more than others, though only for so long — the mines were cursed, the sanitorium shut down in the 50's, and the hotel? razed down to its lowest levels in the effort to rebuild something new, brighter, and more luxurious. his father's greed knows no bounds, a sickness passed down through blood. a curse. we're cursed. i know it.

❝ we have a lodge, actually. my dad built it. heh, i basically grew up there. if you want, i could show you sometime? you might not know this about me, jovie, but i'm actually a wicked snowboarder. yeah, yeah. it's true. you'll just have to see for yourself. there's enough boards for us both, trust me. besides, if snowboarding isn't your thing, there's enough trails and scenic sights to get your fill for life. trust me. so, what do you say? you in? i could gather the gang together, get us all up there ... or it could be a more private trip? eh? just me and you?? come on, @goldcnpeaks, don't leave me hanging. you in? ❞

All the World's a Stage

aka a silly RomCom fake-ABO-relationship plot bunny because my brain does things

Jaskier wondered if he was secretly cursed at birth to have outrageously bad luck for the string of events that led to his current circumstances: abducted, labeled an Omega, apparently sold at the highest bid for an Omega ever, and sold to the infamous White Wolf Alpha warlord of Kaer Morhen.

Except it turns out the White Wolf isn't an Alpha.

Somehow they have to convince everyone around them (enemies and allies alike) that they're a successfully mated Alpha-Omega pair or the consequences will be greater than just shipping Jaskier back to the family that never wanted him in the first place.

Inspired by the linked post below:

@bewitchingbaker sent something from╰┈➤ˎˊ˗ here!

Chris’s Tired eyes go over the bakery’s specials, occasionally letting out a Marge like grunt at Camillos last minute changes. With a pinch of the bridge of his nose, he sighs. Sure Camillo , add a last minute custom order cause he folds for any pretty lady who bats her eyelashes even though he’s not the one in charge of cakes. So on top of training their new employee, he had to focus on a new order. Oh the struggle of working with family. He offers Fallon short and straightforward answers for any of her questions. Any other time he’d give someone much more details but with 4 hours of sleep and new bullshit, he wasn’t his usual bubbly self. Even when he helped Fallon unlock the register, his usual sweet offer of anymore help came off a little more…sarcastic than usual. ❛  is there anything else i can do for you? I’ll be in the back…just give me a shout if ya need anything else. ❜

being the interloper on a family business is unceasingly, perpetually awkward. not that she is ever somebody to try and mediate, or even acknowledge conflict if she can help it, but it's doubly worse when everyone involved shares a gene pool that you don't.

he'd been short, crabby since camillo had done whatever he'd done this time—bits and pieces she's caught point to a custom that she knows for a FACT chris doesn't have the bandwidth for. logically, it has nothing to do with her. in reality, it's lowkey bugging her.

so when the dry, belabored offer of help tops the whole day off, she's chilly and tight in a way she hasn't been in a while. not even lifting her eyes from the intricate snowflake she's toothpicking into the foam on a hot matcha. "nope. don't let me hold you up, or anything."

───※ ·❆· ※───⁣　 @c4garuda　　: ⁣　dance with noctis and deidara in a modern au?

naturally,  noctis  was  there  to  do  some  analysis  of  the  club.

not  for  his  own  tastes,  no.  

he  was  actually  doing  proper  “business”  for  the  band  by  going  around�� &  figuring  out  whether  to  take  up  an  offer  given  to  them  by  this  exact  establishment.  him  &  the  boys  have  begun  to  thoroughly  research  their  potential,  temporary  employers  due  to  an  incident  way  back  when  that  left  a  major  sour  taste  in  their  mouths.  they  can’t  be  too  trustful  to  those  they  know  nothing  about,  &  it  was  always  better  to  have  one  or  all  four  of  them  look  into  the  place  before  taking  up  a  gig.

better  to  be  safe  than  sorry.

in  the  midst  of  his  look-around  at  one  of  the  many  booths  available,  his  thoughts  have  been  interrupted  by  a  hand  that  had  seemingly  come  out  of  nowhere.  that  snapped  him  back  to  his  senses,  dark  blues  eyeing  the  hand  &  the  face  that  matched  the  extended  limb.  with  how  dim  the  lights  were  &  how  loud  the  music  was,  noctis  couldn’t  really  tell  if  this  stranger  was  high  or  drunk  or  both,  or  maybe  just  some  person  who  found  him  to  be  lonely  &  wanted  to  invite  him  for  a  dance.  

he  was  more  of  a  mosh  pit  kind  of  guy.

　　❛  i  don’t  dance,  thank  you.  ❜

polite  and  straight  to  the  point.

@styxisms asked: Subaru stumbles, accidentally bumping into the girl. Dazed, he stops himself from falling all the way to the ground. "Ah--Sorry... I'm..." Randomness - always accepted

The young woman was not used to crowds, not at all. So navigating through busy streets such as those of this city was a hardship on its own. Losing focus on all those stalls, her head would turn to the right and to the left each time, but never faced the direction in front of her which caused her to crash with another person.

She only stumbled back a bit, checking the skirt of her blue dress, that reached down to her ankles, for any wrinkles and her long, blonde hair for any missing pins that might cause strands to stand up high, before she would eye the person she ran into, as soon as she heard the person's voice and showed a nervous smile, before shaking her head.

“No, it's my fault!”, she spoke as soon as she realized that he didn’t speak further, not willing to cut him off. She bent her body forward in a polite manner, “I apologize! I should have looked on my way. Uhm… are you okay?”

Quick question: if I move my Evangeline Fox to a solo blog, would someone have interest in interacting and developing some sort of bond with her?
