#at the risk of over-hyping the show - it's SO good and i love it SO much and i really think you will to

[lizardsfromspace]

I do have to impress on anyone who wasn't around for it how batshit the reality boom of the 2000s could be. Especially on Fox.

Here are some 100% real 2000s reality shows:

Who's Your Daddy? A woman has to guess which of eight men is her biological father. One of them really is, and if she guesses right she wins $100,000. If one of the seven fake dads convinces her to guess them, he wins $100,000.

Black. White. A white family learns about racism by living a month in blackface, while a black family spends a month in whiteface. The black family was a real family, but the white family was just some actors hired to put on blackface to prove racism exists

Without Prejudice? Five strangers decide which of five strangers gets a cash prize based off clips and their answers to political questions. Cancelled when one of the choosers openly said he'd eliminate all black contestants

Welcome to the Neighborhood. Three conservative white families in a Austin subdivision decide which diverse family gets to move in. Unaired due to being literal housing discrimination

Seriously, Dude, I'm Gay. Two straight men try to pass themselves off as gay and whoever seems more gay gets $50,000. Unaired due to. Due to. Due to

Playing It Straight. A woman tries to find love among fourteen men, half of whom are straight and half of whom are gay, and she must eliminate two men she believes are gay each week. If she ended up picking a straight man in the end, they'd split a million dollars; if she picked a gay man, he'd win a million dollars

Boy Meets Boy. This was Playing It Straight but starring a gay man and he had to eliminate straight people

Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire? He wasn't a multimillionaire. He didn't even have a million dollars in liquid assets. He had a battery conviction Fox claims they didn't see. Because it was the 2000s, somehow this ended up with the woman he won being widely vilified and turned into a national punchline. How dare she complain about a massive corporation tricking her into marrying a lying abuser, good thing Matt Lauer's there to take her down a peg

The Swan. A "ugly" woman is given plastic surgery and wins a prize if she's the hottest at the end of the season. If she's not hot enough by the show's standards she's eliminated and called ugly on national TV

The Biggest Loser. Overweight people engage in competitive crash weight loss that often led to awful health complications. Studies showed basically everyone on the show regained any weight they lost once it was over and they didn't have abusive trainers demanding they take huge health risks to win a competitive weight loss competition. Like the others, this one was cancel-oh, it was a massive hit that ran for 18 seasons? Yikes!

Wife Swap and Trading Spouses. These were the same show and had a wife from one family go to another family that was different politically, racially, culturally, religiously etc. Most famous for the God Warrior

At the time people focused on the likes of Fear Factor but looking back it's wild how many of the worst shows toyed with politics. So many of these shows have a premise that's like "what if we exposed these conservatives to these people they hate?" or hyping themselves up as Important Experiments. Then they'd freak out when they got the kind of viral bigoted freakout they were trying to construct the whole time.

There were also a bunch of horrible reality shows, thankfully this time mostly unpopular, in the 2010s that based themselves around economic themes as a response to the market crash, but that's a story for another time

Hello 👋 can I request hc of the boys' reaction to mc screaming her lungs put a concert. Like "OMG MY HUSBAND IS ON STAGE KSJWJJSHW!!!" and like their reaction. Thank you

Zayne doesn't pay it much attention. He knows you have a flair for the dramatic when it comes to things you like and he treated you to these tickets as a reward for working so hard. He doesn't really understand all of the hype for celebrities but he does know that you love their performances.

He definitely also brought you both earplugs and insisted you wear them, especially since he got you tickets near the front. He wanted you to see them from the perfect place, but that also meant the risk of hearing loss was also increased. You thought he was being over-dramatic but now that you're here you understand why he did what he did - making it a lot easier for you to enjoy the music and scream at "your husband".

Xavier doesn't like it He gets a little pouty and holds you close, not really saying anything to you. You don't notice right away that he's jealous, leaning into him as you scream at the performer on stage. They even happen to look at you, offering a wink that makes your knees go weak.

The drive home is quiet. Xavier is trying to figure out how to tell you that he didn't like seeing you fawn over someone that isn't him as you're reeling from the crash of adrenaline. Ultimately, he won't say anything unless you ask him how he liked the show, quietly asking if you really liked the performer more than him. You'll have to spend some time convincing him that you don't, teasing him for how whiny he is.

Rafayel understands where your screaming is coming from but he's also jealous. It's nothing serious but he's pouting the whole way home, telling you he thought he was the only artist you have room for in your heart.

The rest of the evening is spent with you cuddling him up, Rafayel moping about how he can sing too but he doesn't just to spare your little human ears. You wonder how true that statement is, the desire to hear a siren song growing the more he whines about being a better singer. Despite that, he doesn't seem to offer to sing for you, content with laying his head in your lap.

Sylus isn't very jealous either. He knows that you're just saying these things in the heat of the moment, but remembers that it's thanks to him the two of you have your own private little area to watch the show from in peace. He admires the way you cheer and shout, pulling you into his lap to press a kiss to your forehead.

You're momentarily distracted from the show, chasing his warmth when he lightly pushes you off of him. You keen at him, wanting more of his touch when he tells you to enjoy the show some more - he spent good money on it after all.

He knows he's won when you continue watching the show but glancing at him more often. Being on your mind is all he wants after all, so this is definitely the best way of reminding you who you belong to.

streamer! dabi who created his account because toga wanted a partner to play roblox with her on stream.

the chat was buzzing with excitement, a sea of emojis, animated stickers and exclamation points flowing through the live stream. toga himiko, spinning around in her pink gaming chair with her signature grin plastered across her face. she ceased her spinning, banging her palms onto the desk as she leaned into the camera. her hair was styled in her usual wild, chaotic fashion, and her eyes sparkled with a mix of mischief and anticipation.

"hello my lovelies! welcome back to my channel!" she exclaimed, her voice full of energy. "today’s going to be a blast because i’ve got a special guest joining me!"

the chat exploded with curiosity and speculation. who could it be?

toga's grin widened. "presenting my one and only grumpy roommate, who i’ve bribed with a month of doing his chores to do this with me, dabi!”

a wave of hype flooded the chat, and viewers eagerly waited for this ‘dabi’ to make his entrance. the screen flickered for a moment before his webcam feed appeared. he leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed yet slightly bored, a stark contrast to toga’s exuberance. his room was quite dark, the only way you could make out his face was through the glow of his monitors. his dark hair was tousled and his smirk was casual.

itscandy: woah didn’t know your roommate was a hottie 😻 togasgirlfriend: himiko is hotter 🙄 froggypop: why he look suspiciuroisu  himikoshairclip: the editors are gonna have fun with this stream bunnyrabbit: I WANT BOAF ‼️

"hey, everyone," dabi started, his voice deep and slightly scratchy. he gave a lazy wave to the camera. "let’s get this over with."

toga laughed, her eyes twinkling with excitement. "stop trying to be nonchalant, show some energy!” she exclaimed, a bit too close to her mic which made dabi slightly wince and adjust his headphones. “we’re going to have so much fun! today, we’re diving into a horror game on roblox! hope you’re ready to get scared!"

dabi raised an eyebrow. "horror, huh? sounds like it might be a good laugh."

"alright, let’s do this!" toga said, clicking on the game. the screen transitioned to the game’s loading screen, and the chat erupted with a flurry of messages, many were curious about dabi and how he would handle the scares. 

"okay so the goal is to go through as many doors as we can while surviving the monsters," toga explained, her tone taking on a serious note. "stick with me and don’t go running off by yourself."

dabi nodded, his expression shifting into one of mild amusement. "yes ma’am, lead the way."

streamer! dabi who ended up enjoying the games a lot and decided to start doing some solo streams.

dabi sat in front of his gaming setup, the glow of his computer monitor illuminating his sharp features in the dimly lit room.

he hit the “go live” button and watched as the chat box began to fill with greetings and excited comments from his growing fanbase. dabi’s expression softened, a rare hint of a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. the anticipation in the chat was palpable. he took a moment to compose himself, then looked directly into the camera.

“hey, everyone. dabi here,” he said, his voice a smooth, controlled monotone. “you may know me as the hot and better roommate from toga's roblox stream a few days ago." he leaned back into his chair, tilting his head slightly as he scanned the chat box. "i wanted to do a stream of my own, just for fun. so tonight, I’m diving into one of the scariest horror games out there. don't piss you pants, yeah?”

streamer! dabi who gained a huge following quite quickly. his name popping up on every platform and eventually, he catches your attention.

"2 am, huh?" dabi says, finally clicking out of the game he had chosen to play for tonight, staring at his small desk clock. it had been over 3 hours since he first started the stream. he stretched his body slightly, slight muscles flexing under the shirt he wore as he leaned closer to the camera, checking himself out. "fuck chat, i can see my roots." he says, ruffling up his hair slightly.

dabi's fiery gaze lingered on your donation for a bit too long. he takes a drag from his cigarette before replying. "m'flattered really. interesting name you got there by the way".

cutiepatootien/n: oh my god my friends changed it as a joke but now i can’t reset it 😭

he grinned at your response, leaning closer slightly, his piercings gleaming from the light of his monitor. "i think it suits you, cutie".

streamer! dabi who's mind lingers on you for too long, even after the stream has ended. he find's himself getting too silly and clicking on your twitch profile.

it's been two hours since dabi clicked on your social links from your twitch profile. he shamelessly scrolled through your instagram and tiktok, scanning each picture and video, carefully making sure he that he doesn't accidentally like anything. he's so engrossed in this that he doesn't even notice when his blonde roommate enters the room and stands behind him, staring at his screen.

"they're cute," toga says, one hand on the arm of his chair while the other one rests on his desk. "yeah.." dabi mindlessly replies before snapping his head to look at her, quickly closing his tabs. "what the fuck toga i told you to knock before coming in" he sneers at her, clearly annoyed.

"oh come on, i would've busted down the door by how loudly i was knocking," she replies, spinning around and slumping herself on his bed "but you were too busy stalking your new crush! who are they by the way? tell me the deets!" she says, excitedly kicking her feet.

"it's none of your business, get lost," he mumbles, grabbing a drink from his mini fridge, snapping it open with his middle finger and taking a sip.

toga skips over to his desk, snagging a drink for herself which earns her a scowl from dabi, before she speaks, "mhm sure! let me know if your loser ass needs some advice."

"get out."

streamer! dabi who decides to give in to his chat's requests and go live while dyeing his hair.

dabi’s bathroom was lit up by the harsh, overhead fluorescent lights. he was leaning over the sink, one hand gripping a box of black hair dye and the other clutching a pair of disposable gloves. the mirror was fogged up from the hot water he’d run earlier, but the camera in front of him was crystal clear, broadcasting his every move to a growing audience.

“hey degenerates, what's ip?” dabi’s voice crackled with a hint of amusement as he adjusted the camera angle. “welcome to the chaos. you all wanted me to touch up my roots on stream for whatever freaky reason so, here we are—dyeing my hair live.”

he chuckled, the sound mingling with the chatter of his chat. The screen was a whirlwind of comments, emojis, and questions. before he did anything, he looked down at his shirt pondering for a moment. "i should take this off right? don't want it to get stained or anything" he says nonchalantly as he pulls it over his head.

now some might think this was unnecessary, i mean — taking off his black shirt because he was scared it was going to get stained with black dye? it almost seemed like he had done it on purpose..but the chat didn't seem to care.

touyaslefttit: the first thing i look at in a man is his heart. the fact that his tits are in front of his heart is NOT MY FAULT hellokittylvr: GIRL DINNER 😻😻 pookieschmookie: no guillotine could take away the head im about to give him ilovefictionalmen: i wanna take a shower with him I MEAN i wanna keep him as a pet I MEAN loverriots: very demure shigaraki: 🍅🍅🍅

he tossed his shirt aside, constantly eyeing the screen and reading the chat box and donations carefully as he put on his gloves and squeezed dye into a bowl.

cutiepatootien/n donated $10

just opened the stream and the first thing i see is your chest 😓 not complaining tho 🙏🙏

dabi immediately looks down, keeping his eyes on the dye. "i can show you more than my chest cutie" he says boldly, trying to hide the stupid smirk on his face. [a/n: fake nonchalant dreadhead!! i see him chalanting!!]

streamer! dabi who was waiting for you to join his stream.

streamer! dabi who shamelessly flirts with you on stream, causing many fans to talk about you and try to speculate who this 'cutie' could be.

"so their name is y/n!" toga yells into dabi's ear. she was once again in his room, uninvited, staring at him with sparkly and excited eyes. she had somehow found out your name and was now shoving her phone which had twitter open in his face. the tweets were from his viewers, all about who this 'cutie' could be.

dabi groans. yeah he was the one who drew attention to you but, uh oh! he's now facing the consequences of his own actions as he stares at your account which is now on private. you were smart and new it was best to keep your socials private and out of view from any jealous or crazy fans dabi might have.

"just send them a follow request if you wanna see them so bad!" toga says, getting slightly impatient and snatching dabi's phone out of his hand and speed walking away. "TOGA STOP DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!" he yells as he chases her. "you're too much of a pussy dabi, you have a crush and you should confess!" she says, tossing the phone back to dabi. he hurriedly grabs it and stares at the screen in shock.

there your account was..now public? no. he was following it.

"you actually sent them a follow request?" he says, glaring at the blonde who just flashes him a cheeky smile. "but they accepted right? shoot your shot!"

"i'm going to kick you out of my house."

streamer! dabi who spends a lot of time with you floating around in his mind and eventually musters up the courage to text you.

NOTE — i fear i yapped too much for this one, dabi having a silly internet crush is just so cutesy to me. did you guys notice me and shigaraki sneaking into this fic i thought it was funny. might make this into a series?? idk.

I have not done a sibling relationship one yet and really wanted to. Hope you enjoy! Here is my masterlist for more. ~ Anya

When you were brought in by Bruce into the Batfam, he immediately had a soft spot for you.

Training sessions with him are calculated, but not as grueling as with some of the others.  He lets you pick what to work on, but does try to make it more fun.

After training snack stops are a MUST.  Anything from ice cream to sweets to chips to smoothies. He’ll take you after a good workout or training

Patrols can be both fun and frustrating. He will be overprotective, but try to crack jokes on a boring night.

He is responsible as much as he is fun, so when he sees you focused on the patrols or missions, he takes pride in that.

He is well aware that you can fight and kick ass on your own and won’t cut in to take that from you. He really only gets in the way if he feels like you are in danger or at a high risk.

If you get into an argument or fight with one of the other Batfam members, he lends an ear and tries to calm you down.

He knows your body language well and goes out of his way to check if you are okay or give you your favorite things to cheer you up.

He definitely builds blanket forts for him, you, and the other siblings. Full of lights, pillows, and lo-fi music.

When he moves to Blüdhaven, you are welcome to stay with him whenever you want. He is a phone call away, no matter what.

For major events in your life, he is there for you. From a prom night, to your 21st birthday, to bringing your partner over for the first time, he is there as your hype man.

When it comes to romantic advice, he’s a bit of an over-sharer, but he wants you to be happy and not be heartbroken by some jerk. He’ll give you his perspective and red and green flags.

In addition to relationship chats, he loves to hear about your crushes and/or partner.  Seeing you so passionate about someone is adorable and raw to him. He also takes it as a sign of trust.

When you get sick, he goes full mother-hen mode with Bruce and Alfred to take care of you. He will overreact, but it’s out of love

Same goes for if you are injured while on patrol. He goes into first aid mode and fusses over getting everything for you.

He is the dad of the group when it comes to snacks and feeding you. You will not go hungry with him around.

But he isn’t always fun and games. If you are getting too rowdy or rough, he will make sure to let you know.

When a plan of attack is in motion, he watches over you to be sure you do it right and safely.

He does not tolerate separating from the core values of the Batfam, but will not be as harsh as some of the other members.

If you are one of the vigilantes that takes more to violence or killing, he will show disapproval, but not hold it against you outside of the costume.

Overall, he cares for you a lot and will look after you, while still respecting your space and choices. A good big bro.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Hope you liked it. :) Feel free to read more or make requests. ~ Anya

Word Count: 3.7k

Being friends with Kim Mingyu came with a lot of perks. You always had an invite to the biggest parties on campus, knew someone who could walk you home when you had a bit too much to drink, and a constant study partner who would bring coffee to the study sessions.

On the outside, it is easy to assume you and Mingyu were a couple. And you knew one day, Mingyu would make a woman very happy. I mean, he was the poster child of what it means to be a Golden Retriever Boyfriend.

Yet, you have never been attracted to Mingyu like that. Of course, he treated you like royalty, but in some ways, he was showing you the way you deserved to be treated. Mingyu was always the one to give you dating and relationship advice, which was extremely helpful given he was able to give the male perspective. And vice versa, you were always there to hype up and encourage Mingyu to go after women he found attractive. Despite the confidence he exudes, he was a rather shy individual.

Your friendship with Mingyu was a prized possession in your life, and you never wanted to do something to risk. Even though you had a crush on his best friend, Jeon Wonwoo.

Unlike Mingyu, you knew next to nothing about Wonwoo. You often saw him every now and then when he was out with Mingyu, but the two of you never seemed to exchange words. There was just something about him that lured you in.

And you were hoping tonight would be the opportunity to change that.

For the past few weeks, you have been trying to gather intel on Wonwoo. Most of the time when you hung out with Mingyu, you asked about his best friend. It didn't take long for the giant man to put the puzzle pieces together. Instantly, Mingyu devised a plan to try to get his two favorite people together.

Midterms would be coming to an end on Friday, and he knew everyone would want to come out and celebrate. Rather than going to the bars, Mingyu suggested he hosted a house party filled with his closest friends. Both so everyone could be comfortable and enjoy themselves, but also so Wonwoo might open up more during the party. He wasn't the type of guy who preferred going out on the weekends. Often, his weekends were filled with either studying or playing video games. Mingyu was almost certain that a house party could get his introverted best friend to come out of his room.

After sending different outfit options to Mingyu, and each text was responded with "looks good," you decided on a black jeans and a black, long-sleeved crop top. You wore gold jewelry for the comparison, but also decided to wear your hair down for now. You did keep a white scrunchie around your wrist, in case you or someone else might need it throughout the night.

Your goal was to look presentable, but not too over the top. It was a house party, after all. Tonight would be a great opportuntiy not just to hang out with friends you haven't seen in a while, but also maybe know Wonwoo on a deeper level. While yes, you did like him, you were unsure of where his mind was at. Even Mingyu was clueless on Wonwoo's love life as it was a topic rarely they engaged in. Being friends with Wonwoo could always be the start.

With a bottle of vodka and a bottle of Berry Lemonade held by your hip, your free hand knocked on the door. You could already hear music and chatter coming from inside. Growing out of hopping from frat house to frat house, house parties were becoming more of your comfort zone. Maybe that's what it meant to be an upperclassman?

"Hi Barbie!" "Hi Ken!"

Mingyu quickly retrieved one of the bottles from you, making your load lighter. You could have managed carrying both, but that was Mingyu just being himself. He wrapped his free arm around you to pull you into a hug. "Woah, you're wearing perfume tonight? Must really want to impress someone."

Quickly, you pulled back from the embrace and slapped his chest. Your eyes narrowed on him before he broke out into a fit of laughter. Yeah, Mingyu definitely was not your boyfriend.

"You do look great though, y/n!" "Not half bad yourself, Gyu," you laughed.

The two of you ventured into the kitchen after closing the door. Mingyu's parties never got too crazy. He always knew who was invited, and it was always known nobody else unless an invite was extended by Mingyu himself or you asked if you could bring someone along with you. He just never liked the unpredictability of strangers entering his home. Wonwoo and him also despised the clean-up afterwards too when people didn't respect their home. That was one way to never get invited again.

Upon entering the kitchen, you were greeted with cheers. Both from the guys invested in the game of Flip Cup but also by the ones that noticed you. Seungkwan, Dino, and Hoshi were all grinning at you. Currently, it seemed like Seungcheol and Joshua were going head-to-head in a match with Dokyeom and Jeonghan waiting there turn. Vernon, Minghao, Jun, and Woozi were all spectating. All that was missing was Wonwoo.

Noticing you take a headcount, Mingyu grinned. He's gotten to know you all too well over the course of your friendship. "He's out back on the patio," he whispered into his ear.

He must have been able to escape with the guys distracted, and the bodies that filled the first floor of their college townhouse apartment.

"Y/n! Wanna take a shot?" Hoshi shouted to you. "Hell yeah."

A little liquid courage never hurt. Mingyu chuckled as he got to work preparing your mixed drinks for the two of you. Hoshi was eagerly pouring out shots for the 14 people. He must still think Wonwoo is in the room.

"Hey, where's Wonwoo?" DK finally asked once he finished his turn with flip cup. "Oh, I think he must have slipped outside," Mingyu quickly responded. "I can go check on him after," you offered.

It was not unusual for you to take on almost a 'mother' role. Like Mingyu, you liked being there for people. You liked when people felt uncomfortable around you or that you could help someone out, no matter how big the task might be.

"That's our eomma," Dino shouted.

You rolled your eyes playfully but couldn't wipe the smile off your face. It did really feel good to be seen in positive light.

Mingyu placed your red solo cups in front of you. You smiled at the sight of your mixed drink, knowing that it would help the liquor slid down your throat. You weren't the biggest fan of vodka, but if you had something to chase? You were golden. Plus, you were now able to take your drink and able to slip away to find Wonwoo.

"Alright fuckers, some of us are seniors. Top dogs, but we always have our pack to support us. " Hoshi began. Oh boy.

Promptly, DK started barking which encouraged the rest of the boys to join in. Sometimes you question why you are friends with them, but you knew they were all irreplaceable.

"I just love you guys so much." Uh oh. Looks like Hoshi has already had a bit more to drink than the rest of the group. "Here's the last few months before we become boring."

The shot glasses dropped down to the table before meeting all of your lips. You cringed a bit at the feeling of straight vodka hitting your mouth but quickly swallowed. With your free hand, you were able to rid of the taste with the mixed drink which made you immediately relax. You sighed as you could already feel how warm your stomach felt from the liquor entering your system.

"Go get your boy," Mingyu teased you in a hushed tone. "HEY! Secrets makes frenemies and I want us all to be besties," Hoshi shouted as he caught you and Mingyu talking. "Relax, tiger. I'm just telling her where I think Wonwoo ran off to."

Hoshi seemed to relax before instantly distracted by the next game Jun proposed. Mingyu sighed, knowing he was going to be on Hoshi duty tonight. Again. You patted his shoulder comfortingly before slipping away to the porch.

Keeping your drink above your head, so you wouldn't accidentally spill or drop it on anyone or anything, you navigated through the crowd of people. For someone who liked to keep parties small, there was always a large turn out for Mr. Popular. You offered friendly smiles at familiar faces, as you kept your eyes locked on the back patio.

As the people around you began to dissipate, you saw a figure sitting on the steps of the back porch. It wasn't much of a porch really. Just a set of wooden steps with a deck, but it was like luxury to any college student. It also is why people favorited Mingyu's spot for partying on the weekends.

You were able to easily identify the person outside just based off the broad shoulders. It has been quite a few weeks since you last saw Mingyu, but you liked seeing how long his hair has gotten since then. You always thought he looked better with a bit of length to his haircut.

Gently, you slid the back patio door hoping not to startle him. He did, however, whip his head around to see who was responsible but then immediately relaxed when he saw it was you. While you two were not close yet, he recognized you. Wonwoo also knew just how important you were to Mingyu, so you were never seen as a threat. Quite frankly, he just didn't know how to approach you since the two of you had not had a proper conversation one-on-one.

"Oh hi, y/n," he called out gently. His voice was always calm in his deep tone. It was oe of the things you adored about Wonwoo. His voice was calm to you like the ocean, and you always seemed to cling onto every word he spoke.

"Hey Wonwoo," you said in your usual tone, not wanting to be perceived as a threat. "Mind if I join you?"

His eyes slightly widened as he heard you. Only the guys ever really approached Wonwoo, so it was a bit surprising that someone would want to accompany him.

"Oh um sure."

Wonwoo scooted over from where he was sitting, offering his spot for you. You smiled appreciatively before fully stepping into the patio. You closed the door behind you, both to respect Wonwoo's privacy and to keep the house warm. It was apparent that Wonwoo had wondered out here for a reason, so you wanted to respectful and show through your actions you were someone he could trust. You also were not wanting to hear Mingyu nagging at you for causing the electricity bill to rise in the month of March.

Slowly, you made your way over until you sat down next to him. You set your drink but the edge, so if you accidentally spilled, it could go into the grass rather than the cute boy beside you.

"Enjoying the party?" Wonwoo asked in a soft tone.

It wasn't monotone. It was his usual deep tone. But as he spoke, you noticed that his gaze was seemed to be locked on the moon above the two of you. It was still a bit chilly when the sun was hidden, but you were comfortable. The alcohol definitely aiding.

"Yeah, actually. Much better than being coped up studying," you joked.

"Yeah, I feel you," he sighed. You watched the way he pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. It was such a little thing, something he probably doesn't even think about it. Yet, you found it to be the most adorable thing. "You're in the political science program, right?"

Your heart undeniably did a little flip knowing that he remembered that detail to you. Maybe Mingyu has held up his promise and talked to Wonwoo about you, not just saying he had to make you feel more at ease. You nodded your head as you looked over at hi. It was just a habit of yours. You didn't expect him to look over at you, but you wanted to show him that you were present in the moment and ready to listen to whatever he wanted to say. Or even if you two just sat here in silence for a little. There was just something screaming within you that you he needed you tonight.

You just had no idea that he knew anything about you given that you only were on first name basis.

"Yeah," you spoke softly, unable to wipe the gentle smile on your face. "And you're in the computer science program?"

Wonwoo nodded, smiling a bit as well. Wonwoo never was the guy he thought people took interest in. Honestly, every day, he feels just blessed to say he has some of the best friends who want to drag him out of his bedroom. Most people might not even notice his absence. And Wonwoo did that subconsciously, just as a defense mechanism. He has been on the receiving end of bullying and life's unfortunate events. He just found himself isolating more as a way to cope.

"If you don't mind me asking," you began, biting your lip. "Why are you out here by yourself? Is everything ok?" "I think?"

You couldn't help but frown at Wonwoo's response. You were too familiar with the uncertain feeling and knew how troubling it can be. While everyone faces their own difficulties in life, you never liked hearing that other people are struggling.

"I just," he began to open it up.

Now you were the surprised on. Never before would you expect to be Wonwoo's confidant, but you knew it was a job title of upmost importance. You just hoped your surprised expression was not portrayed on your face. If Wonwoo needed someone to vent to, you'd gladly step up.

He glanced at you to see if you were listening. Satisfied to see your eyes on him with a soft gaze, he let out a shaky breath. For the first time in a while, he felt like he was able to confide in someone. He knew the guys were always in his corner, but he ever wished to worry them too much. To some extent, Wonwoo prided himself in his own ability to take care of himself.

It was just that he's been struggling for some time.

"Everything is changing," he chuckled almost out of self-pity. "It's just been hitting me that all of this," he motioned to the party behind him. "Will not be here in a few months. Hell, not even in a few weeks since we all graduate soon. I know I should be in there partying it up, living in the present but I cannot help but think of how we all won't be together like this and it makes me sad."

It was almost like looking into the future as Wonwoo described his inner turmoil. You and Mingyu, and a few of the other guys, were still had another year or two left in college. However, Wonwoo and the other guys would be graduating this upcoming May.

"Do you know where the other guys have decided to go?" You asked in a quite tone. You hope you weren't upsetting him by your questions.

Wonwoo slowly nodded. "Yeah, I think Seungcheol and Jeonghan are moving to the city. Seungkwan has talked about moving in with them once he graduates next year. Joshua and Jun have jobs lined up in their hometowns, so they'll be moving out probably at the end of May. Hoshi? I have no clue. He hasn't even applied to any jobs yet. And Woozi and I have been applying to graduate schools. He's leaning towards business and I think I want to go in a more software engineering route."

"Have you heard back from any schools yet?"

Wonwoo couldn't fight the smile creeping on his face. He knew you cared deeply about Mingyu's friends, but he never thought he would be looped into that circle. He always kept his distance just because it was just convenient, it's what he knew. It also kept him safe in a world filled with chaos and unpredictability.

"Yeah, I actually heard from two schools, so I'm trying to decide. One of the schools is here."

He whispered the last part. It spoke volumes to you. The thought of Wonwoo staying here meant that you might be able to make things work with Wonwoo. That is, if he was opened to the idea of you dating.

"Like part of me wants to run away from here," he explained.

While you weren't quite at the same stage as life, you understood the need. It was part of the reason why you chose to go away for university whereas all your high school classmates chose more local programs. You wanted a change of scenery, a new beginning.

"So much has changed since freshman year. I'm definitely not the same person I was. I've had my challenges like losing my mom a year and a half ago," he explained. "And all those hard times happened while I was here, so I almost have a need to move and leave the pain behind.

His casual mentioning of his mother's passing brought back memories. You remember how all the guys rallied behind Wonwoo. Some of them even skipped final presentations and exams in order to be there for Wonwoo at the funeral. You knew it wasn't in your place to attend the funeral, but you cooked a warm cooked meal for all of them. It was Wonwoo's favorite dish. It at least wanted to do a nice gesture, so Wonwoo knew he wasn't alone. You still remember dropping the dish off with Mingyu with re-heating instructions.

To this day, he has no idea how that dish arrived. He just figured one of the guys ordered DoorDash.

While Mingyu begged you to stay, so you could give it to Wonwoo himself, you didn't want to overstep. You knew grief takes all shapes and forms, os you thought the best thing you could do was give the space for Wonwoo to feel his emotions.

Little did you know he's been harboring those emotions this whole time, almost two years later.

'But then part of me worries about the younger guys. I don't want them to feel abandoned. I don't want the group to fall apart once we all move, and it feels like if I stay here then I can keep us together even while the other guys go off."

"Almost like you are the glue that keeps them all together?" "Yeah, I guess that's the best way to explain it." "But Wonwoo, what keeps you together?"

He furrowed his eyebrows as he fully looked at you. What an odd question. And based on his reaction, you felt the need to elaborate.

"I mean, it's great that you always look out for everyone. You're a real nurturer," you explained.

Wonwoo has never been described in such light before. He bit the inside of his cheek to keep the blush from overtaking his cheeks. He shrugged though as if it was no big deal.

"But what are you doing to take care of yourself? I'm not asking you to make a decision now to either stay or go because going to grad school is a big decision. Congratulations, by the way. That's incredible!"

How could you always see the positive side of things? How hasn't life damaged your spirit like it has for him? How could you see good in him when he often failed to see it in himself?

"I know it's easy to feel like you need to harbor your own emotions because it's easy. But Wonwoo, that shit can break you."

Woah. Who would have thought y/n could swear.

"I'm always going to be here if you need me, you know. I'm not just Mingyu's friend, but I could like to consider us friends too, if that is something you'd like. I'm always here if you need a place to vent, especially if it's away from the guys. I know they can be…" you trailed off.

You didn't want to offend Wonwoo as that was his core group of friends. You were just a side character brought in every now and then.

"A lot," Wonwoo finished for you.

You both shared a laugh as you nodded, confirming to Wonwoo that was the word you were looking for. Silence fell over the two of you for a moment. All that could be heard was the sound of people laughing from within the house and the crickets chirping in the backyard. It was peaceful.

"You know, I've always wanted to say more than hello to you, y/n. Thank you for letting me vent. I wasn't expecting for it all to just spew out like that," he confessed.

Looking at him, you nodded a blush had fully taken over his cheeks but a wide smile remained on his lips. He looked too adorable. The moonlight was highlight his facial features which left you starstruck. He truly was built like a God.

You scooted closer so you could wrap your arms around Wonwoo. He tried his best not to let his body go tense. Wonwoo just wasn't accustomed to someone showing him affection in such a physical way. To be honest, he couldn't remember the last time he actually had a hug.

Slowly, his arms wrapped around you to pull you in closer. You didn't mind his hold on you was a bit tight. He clearly needed it. Your head rested on his shoulder, which allowed you to get a whiff of his cologne. Teakwood and oak. It made your heart fluttered.

But what really sealed the deal was feeling Wonwoo's head rest on top of yours gently.

"Always here for you, Wonwoo." "Promise?" He whispered. "I promise."

Heartsteel Ezreal Boyfriend HC's

On a side note, I'm using wet--milk's gifs on like all of these wanna say thanks for clippin good gifs person!

~To the cute green haired Ezreal~

~Floof, mostly just floof honestly -shrug- as always enter at your own risk!~

Ezreal is the kind of guy who does not G.A.F about PDA. He will kiss you, hug you, smother you in affection no matter where you are. Ironically, he was shy when the two of you first met, but that flew out the window as soon as he realized how amazing you treat him and how you accepted him so purely. Contrary to his general attitude, if anyone starts giving you any extra attention that makes him or you uncomfortable, he will confront them. He will be brave and walk up to them and tell them who he is to you and make sure they know not to f around. "You're so cuuute! Come here. -Hug-. Honestly, y/n, I never want to let you go." "Is there a reason you're talking to my partner? Carry on, see what happens."

Ezreal is THE joker. He acts shy a lot of the time, but he is a huge goof ball. He will constantly be scheming with his bandmates for a silly prank to pull on you. As a matter of fact, Ezreal and Sett have pulled quite a few pranks on you. They never let you in on the ones against Kayn and Aphelios though, and certainly it can't be because they don't want you to know all their secret plans, right? On the contrary, it is hilarious to prank him especially to scare him, because he has the best reactions! Usually, you team up with his other victims to get back at him, and it makes it all the more worth it. "Hehehe, sorry my love. We just thought it would be funny. Please don't be mad at me? Awh, I knew you couldn't stay mad at this face!"

Ezreal is... an attention seeker. All his life he has been striving to be in the spotlight, and that is no different when it comes to you. He will be attached to you by the hip wherever you go. He even took it upon himself to steal some of "his" posters from his bandmates rooms and hang them up in your bedroom, so you always see him even if you aren't together. If you ignore him to rile him up, be prepared for an onslaught of tackle-cuddles and kisses when it's just the two of you. He will also take it upon himself to shower you in attention. When you dress up for him, for example, he will lower his glasses and look at you through his lashes with his jaw dropped. He is your ultimate hype man. "Do you like them? Yeah, I used to be in a band before Heartsteel, can you believe it? What? No, I'm not taking them down!" "Come here, why have you been ignoring me? -1000 tiny kisses all over your face- You have no choice but to pay attention to me now!"

Ezreal's kisses are sporadic, chaotic, and messy- but not in a bad way. He has this way about him that makes him almost seem desperate when he kisses you, like he's a man starved. Sometimes he will even push you against the wall, groaning into your mouth when you finally let him in. He will back away from you, pulling at his hair and biting his lip to show you how much you affect him. On the other hand, if you take the lead he will literally melt into a puddle. If you grasp his face, pull him close and kiss him gently, he releases little whines that make butterflies erupt in your stomach. "Gods, you're so perfect. I'm not going to stop kissing you. Ever. You got that?"

Ezreal is a pouter when you argue, but he is also such a joker that it's hard for him to tell when you're actually upset with him. Once he does, he will do literally anything to make sure that you aren't mad at him for long, even if it means contradicting what he thought was right in the moment. He will become a soppy mess if you actually show him your anger. May even shed a tear. By the end of it, you feel so bad you have to give him loving to make up for it all. "Love, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were serious... I promise I'll pay more attention next time, okay? Come here, let's cuddle about it."

Ezreal just doesn't say goodbye. As a matter of fact, he just assumes he is going with you wherever you go, and vice versa. If you somehow end up somewhere without him, if he doesn't know where you are, he may just go into a slight panic? Usually running to Yone for help, eventually getting a text back from you (he sent SO MANY texts). His separation anxiety is cute, even though it's sad, and it makes you hyper aware of just how obsessed with you he is. "Where ARE you, my love? Oh my gods, you scared me! Please don't leave me again, I don't think my heart can handle it."

[nalyra-dreaming]

Reading the S2 reviews (so beware spoilers ahead!). Wanted to get your take (and others’ if people have thoughts!), citing The Wrap’s review:

“Daniel might be the most radically different character from book to screen. He’s older, more pessimistic and utterly allergic to the allure of vampire life. Only now he is able to confront the deep-seated scars left behind after his night with Louis (although book fans might be disappointed to know that the show doesn’t tease out more of the romance he has with Armand in the books. Theirs is strictly an adversarial relationship in the series.)”

Other reviews confirm that S02E05/the episode about Daniel’s past is not romantic at all, rather a horror episode. Which I’m sure will be good (some describe it as the best episode), but I can’t help being a bit disappointed that they don’t seem to be doing DM - or at least not in this season at all. I think the reviews only cover episodes 1-6, but this reviewer seems so very sure… (also they seem to know the books so I’m guessing the episode won’t be too similar to the book either. Meaning it won’t end with “the chase” or will it?). So is there a real risk that no DM will play out?. The greatest hint of DM in my view was Zaman’s podcast appearance where he stated that Armand is curious about Daniel and that there is a history there. But this could just be referring to their horror-filled encounter in episode five. So I don’t know, I’m a little sad - was pretty excited for some f*cked up memory stuff (there is just something so compelling with the idea of discovering that there is a whole side of your life that you’ve lost - that this person you don’t know is someone you loved etc.). I wanted to see what it would do to Daniel and Armand respectively, and I wanted their dynamic to be as interesting as possible. Remember reading speculation that Daniel will remember more in the finale - maybe a romantic aspect but I think it was just pure speculation, no hints or comments from the cast/writers backing this up.

What do you think? Grateful to hear your thoughts! Also, I’m still psyched about this season of course, looking forward to the Armand/Louis romance, the Theatre! Hayles performance is supposedly going to be amazing, and I’m looking forward to more of Daniel’s snark obviously! It feels unreal that the season is around the corner!

It is!!! And I am also sooooo hyped, it's unreal *laughs*

Okay, so... first of all, it's always a thing of perspective with reviews. For example, there's this as well, after episode 1:

Now... that is no review, granted.

But it's perception. I... do not think that all of the "Devil's Minion" will be spelled out in the first episodes (nor do I think we will get all of it this season!). In fact, I think the horror that "he loved this monster" is part of the horror of it all, this realization. And that will very likely be in the last episodes, in whichever way.

So. With that in mind - btw, which review did confirm it's ep5? (I only saw that focused comment I think?) - I did not expect Devil's Minion to be "happy". In fact, I think it might have stalking, cages, attacks, and the beginning of the chase - and that chase does NOT start out as cute.

Daniel just gets used to it, over time. And then Armand falls in love.

Season 2 is going to be significantly darker. I bet it's also going to be a lot campier, if the comments to this hold true, with dark humor. But they're leaning fully into the horror aspects of this vampire world now, and the beginning of the Devil's Minion is exactly that - horrific.

The above review matches with what Jacob said about Louis and Daniel forming alliances... and I bet that alliance is indeed needed to drag the whole story out.

And when that whole story is out - that will lead to repercussions.

THAT in turn goes for Louis just as much as it goes for Daniel... because this second interview has just as much to do with him.

So... I would wait until you can see it with your own eyes?! :)

I mean... AMC's promotion(and pairing of the actors) speaks a very loud language? And Assad said he had chemistry read with "Daniel"... for reasons.

But it won't all be revealed in the screeners. I bet the last two episodes will pack a punch.

Maybe even literally. 😜

💐Zombie's Bouquet Event💐

A bouquet for you! Featuring: Steve Rogers; Idiots in Love; Soulmate; Fluff. Hope you enjoy!

+++++

"I can do this," you tell yourself in the mirror. "I can do this. I can finally talk to him."

You've had a crush on the cute, burly blond at the bakery for forever. But every time you got the chance to speak to him, you froze up. What if the words you said weren't the words in his soulmate tattoo? What if they were?! You so badly wanted to talk to him but you'd always end up chickening out. Just pointing to the baked goods you wanted to buy.

It's not like he talked to you, either. Whenever you show up, one of his buddies ends up taking the front counter. Part of you hopes it's because he's as shy a you. Another part worries it's because he doesn't want to find out your soulmates.

Steve sees you the moment you walk in. He's been trying to hype himself up to finally talk to you. He swears he's not gonna ask Bucky or Sam to take care of you this time. But what if he says the wrong words? What if you always clam up around him because you didn't want to risk being his soulmate?

Bucky and Sam give Steve some encouragement before shoving him up to the front counter where you're headed.

You keep your eyes on his as you walk up, but you're so focused on building up the nerve to talk to him that you miss the floorboard that's slightly higher than the others. You end up tripping but miraculously manage to catch yourself. Looking up you ask Steve, "you didn't see that, right?"

Steve blushes as he hears those words, the same ones tattooed on his chest. All he can think to say, "so long as you're ok, no I didn't see anything."

Your eyes widen in surprise. "Those are my words," you whisper.

Steve smiles, relief all over his face. "And you said mine as well."

The two of you fall into a fit of giggles, relieved to finally be talking. Happy to have found each other.

What's happening??? 🥺 This for me? 🥺😍

LOOK AT THEM BABIES, PINING. And having the cutest soulmate "meet-cute" (speak-cute) AT LAST.

Honestly the reader is so me, I would absolutely tripped. But for our Stevie boy, I'd fall. So it's only fair 🥰

Thank you so much for this 💕😘 Sending love!!

[jamiesfootball]

Let’s talk about male bonding rituals and the way that physical touch in the locker room can be a comforting outlet. Like how the team hugs and jumps on each other after they score a goal. Or how they casually lean against each other in the locker rooms. Or Roy’s little fist bumps to each of the lads to hype them up. You can use words or actions for your anger, but there’s a protocol for kindness.

And then there’s Zava, who’s an interesting bastard in his own right, because as people have pointed out he accepts touch from others but he doesn’t reciprocate. Dani fullbody hugs the man (after a goal, of course, the most acceptable time to do so) and the most he does is try to shake him off. If Richmond is reaching hands, then the most Zava has done is beckon them in and allow them to worship, like when he took over the huddle before the match- he allowed everyone to put their hands on Zava.

And Richmond is an especially sweet team under Ted’s tenure. So again we have Zava performing in a way that on surface level is inoffensive.

Except that there is one person that Zava makes a point to touch - and I do think he’s making a point about it. Even if we only saw it a few times, I think it was a good extension for showing us how Zava viewed Jamie.

I’ve talked before about how interesting the little one-two shoulder brush/ass slap was in that first match, because on the surface that is totally normally sports antics. It’s only Jamie’s little ‘wtf’ face that lampshades the true weirdness of a moment: this may be a teammate, but this is a dude he just met, someone he has no rapport with (compared to Dani, who created rapport through excitement and touching). But hey- new teammate, first match. As off of a moment it was, Jamie’s a team player now, so he did what he was told to do and passed the ball to Zava. And what a slap in the face that was, with Zava repeating one of the best goals we’ve seen from Jamie this who show.

Actual fucking mind games, this time. A pattern of them, in addition to singling Jamie out and asking if he’s the kitman when they first meet. Despite the fact that he already had his kit on. Despite the fact that he was in the middle of love-bombing everyone else.

And stealing Jamie’s goal. Which was so petty that even Roy Kent thought it was a bit too mean.

It’s not insidious, it’s not like he’s being bullied- but he is getting frozen out. Singled out by a player who walked in and made himself at home in Jamie’s spot.

Zava walks a careful, practiced line. He’s got a ton of experience on and off the pitch, and he knows where to give in and where to push. Dani can follow him around and touch him- he’ll allow it because Dani is harmless.

But I don’t think he thought Jamie was harmless. I think he saw Jamie as a threat, one that needed to be neutralized so that Zava could play in the manner he was accustomed to. Jamie is the ONLY one on the team that seemed to be trying to score - even the fucking announcers could see it.

So yeah, anytime Jamie stepped up a little too high, or seemed like he might be putting Zava’s reputation of #1 at risk, he would find these little footholds that he could use to climb over Jamie.

I think his grunt Zava gave when he lifted up the weight was the closest we got to Zava actually verbalizing his frustrations (also great metaphor, him lying under the weight and then shoving it off one last time. Good comparison to Colin ‘got-stuck-under-the-weights-that-time’ Hughes benching without a problem these days, like a strong and capable man). Richmond was on a losing streak, Jamie kept trying to button in on what should have been Zava’s goals, and now Jamie was also butting in on the leadership side as well.

The openly condescending thing to do would be to pet the top of Jamie’s hair like a dog, mussing it up. That’s a proper bully move. Instead he went for the back of the head and did that weird…..whatever that was. Was he combing his fingers through Jamie’s hair? Scratching him like a cat? Playing with his headband? Whatever it was it was out of focus, even though it was in front of a crowd. The same way that the first time was in the middle of a stadium, and yet so far away from anyone being able to see and hear what was happening. The only thing you could see, if you could be bothered to look away from Zava for a second, was how completely uncomfortable Jamie was with it. And I’m not sure the guys in the locker room noticed, not just because it’s Zava, but because on the surface nothing he’s done has stood out as a red flag.

‘Zava made a goal’ sounds better than ‘Zava stole that goal from Jamie’

‘Zava made a leader speech to motivate us’ sounds better than ‘Zava saw that Jamie was stepping up to encourage them, and felt the need to reassert himself by doing the same thing’

And ‘Zava is physically touchy with Jamie a few times’ sounds better than ‘Zava uses what should be perfectly safe locker room contact as a way to put Jamie in his place’.

Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan Matchup exchange for lovely @pretentious-blonde

Author's Note: I love writing matchups so thank you for messaging me! You're so nice, btw ❤️ Sorry for any grammar mistakes or odd phrases; English is not my first language. I hope you'll enjoy it!

(Amazing gifs are not mine, please show appreciation to the OP)

From Jujutsu Kaisen, I match you with...

Gojo Satoru

- He adores that you can match his playfulness and energy. You would click from the beginning, at least he would be already interested in you. Badly. The chats and fun banter between you two leave him feeling energized and warm inside. He'll love annoying you affectionately. Nobara always tells him he doesn't deserve your attention, and he always agrees, amused, laughing. But he's honest when he says that; he feels that way sometimes, but no one's ever going to know...

- Despite being the strongest, many people see him as superficial and careless because of his apparent behavior, so he understands you when you're misunderstood. He understands you and uses words of affirmation as his love language to let you know that he loves how you're more than what it seems and if the rest doesn't see that, you shouldn't care. Of course, he'll try to end it on a lighter note by saying that you're almost as cool as he is, almost, just to watch your exasperated reaction.

- Did someone say gossiping? The tea you bring him makes his day. Will cancel any plan for a gossip session with you. He's the type to talk on the phone and say "Yes, of course, don't worry, I won't tell anyone." while smirking at you, already excited to end the call and share the news with you. I can imagine something happening in front of you two, or you both hear a thing worthy of gossiping, and you share a distinct, unique glance that says, "Can't wait to talk about it when we get back."

- Gojo won't admit it but he's a bit worried when you're taking risks like that. It might not look like it from the outside but he's very protective over you. Only you know about this and feel it from his gestures and words. He's opened up to you about the situation with Geto (after a VERY long time) and how he couldn't take it if another person dear to him would get hurt like that or worse, away from him.

- Believe it or not, Gojo knows he can be overbearing sometimes so he'll try his best to tame it down for you. As much as he likes how expensive you are, he also finds it useful. He can tell your reactions apart and understand when your annoyance with him is true and not for dramatic effect. He pays attention to your little details.

- Gojo admires that you're self-assured, he loves seeing you walk around and talk confidently. It's so damn attractive! He'll always hype you up shamelessly, privately or publicly. He doesn't mind if you get bossy with him, but he'll only sit back and enjoy it without even registering what you're saying.

- Loves how physical you are because it's hard to keep his hands to himself around you too. He might get a bit clingy so let him know if it's too much. He'll tease you a bit but he'll keep it in mind and tame it a bit. But for him? Getting physical affection from you? It's never too much, especially in intimate moments.

- He won't help you with the dishes after those dinner parties you like, but he will make sure that you feel good, t, oo, not just the guests. You did too much for everyone, let him do something for you.

(He can't wait for everyone to leave for that part.)

- Dancing around? Of course, you two would do that in the intimacy of your home. He'll never decline it. Secretly likes your moves but enjoys more how happy you look while doing it. He wishes he could keep that smile on your face for as long as possible. He's a terrible dancer, by the way, but that doesn't stop him.

- Sew something for him and he won't take it off ever. Get ready because he'll even have requests. Gojo would love to have something embroidered by you on the back of his blindfold, something small and nice. Do you know that Maison Margiela kiss shirt? He asks you if you could make him something like that as a DIY project, knowing how much you like those and wanting to flaunt that shirt with your lipstick marks on it. Just imagine how good he'd look with it. Aesthetically wise, you two would be THAT couple that always has fire outfits and looks good. Your style matches perfectly with his.

Song for you two: JMSN - So Badly

Who also has their eyes on you: Nanami - He enjoys your company more than he expected at first and would love to take you on nice dates, sit down, and talk to you about different topics over a lovely dinner.

From Attack on Titan, I match you with...

Jean Kirstein

- He resists hitting on you from the start even if he instinctively wants to do it from the start. You can't blame him, he thinks you're breathtakingly beautiful. What he likes the most is your smile and how expressive you are. In fact, he likes your features so much that you trigger his old drawing hobby back. He'd like to sketch that smile but it has been a while without sketching anything.

- Your bubbly personality is exactly what he needed. You're that sunray that makes the colors from his life more vibrant. After all those fights, losses, and missions, now the only mission left, and priority is your happiness next to him.

- His friends are grateful for you because, in the past few years, Jean has grown more serious, losing bits of his excitement for everything around. His trust is also broken. So, at first, as much as he enjoys your company, he doesn't let himself get attached. But jokes on him, he finds himself falling for you with everything that he learns about you. He feels so warm inside, but it also worries him.

- Jean noticed your rare moments of insecurity. He will never point out anything about it but be sure that he noticed. He pays attention to those moments and tries to help, he tries to keep you distracted from those thoughts.

- Shows you off at those dinner parties. Everyone at the table notices how his eyes sparkle as he speaks about you and what you prepared, holding your hand. It's so cute, no one wants to interrupt him. But there will always be someone who has something to say. "I'd marry her too, Jean." Sasha would blurt out with her mouth full one time.

- He loves your cooking! But won't let you stay too long in the kitchen even if you enjoy it. Jean will join you. He'll either help or shower you with praise and affection (because he, too, is very physical). He will never let you overwork yourself. Jean is big on spoiling you and making sure you're relaxed.

- He's a wine type of man but he won't say no to enjoying a glass of whiskey with you, especially when you make everything feel sweeter. If you two get accidentally tipsy, I can imagine you slow dancing in the dim living room.

- After the traumatic chaos of the war, he just wants to rest and experience stillness. Stay with him, stretch your legs across his lap as you read something. Jean will ask you to read your favorite book out loud as he closes his eyes, relaxing and idly drawing patterns on your ankles and calves. Those are also the times in which he opens up to you more. You two will often indulge in deep conversations. Everyone knows that Jean is complex, and if you like that, be ready to be enamored with him during those talks. Jean is an amazing conversationalist; he listens, sparks interest, asks the right questions, everything.

- Sometimes, he, too, feels he's a bit impulsive, especially when it comes to protecting his dear ones. You two will have to protect each other (not that you weren't already doing it but you'll need to keep an eye on each other just in case someone decides to get a little reckless).

- His loyalty matches yours. Many around him don't think he'll be capable of being bewitched by only one individual, even if it's quite the opposite. He might come off as a ladies' man, but when he finds you, his special one, nothing and no one else matters anymore. And you still are his special one till the end, every day. Jean is honest with all of his compliments. He won't take you for granted, he'll try to win you every day with small things.

- He likes the authenticity of your style but what he likes the most is all the ways you express yourself with your make-up and hair. Whatever Jean might be doing, he'll always stop in his tracks and watch you getting ready in front of the mirror, enjoying the sight and thinking that he's such a lucky man.

Song for you two: Joji - SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK

Who also has their eyes on you: Miche - God how whipped he would be...You're so fun and lovely, everyone will notice him smiling more frequently because you are around.

August 🎺 2023 PAC - Follow Your Dreams

✨🧡✨💛✨💙✨🩵✨🩷✨💜✨

Pile 1 - Orange 🍊

The Dream: Knight of Cups 🥂

The House: 5th

Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius 🔥 Virgo & the entire generation of Pluto Scorpio (Millennials)

Oracles:

18 Start

You must start from where you are, examine your situation, and take a chance.

45 Collaboration

Creative people can be inspired by sharing and stimulating creativity in others.

Great Adventure

“Take a risk; venture forward.”

What can you do right now to prepare?

Two stories here, one is for those that either want a lover to come back, or want to find their true soulmate. The other is for the musicians or entertainment people that want to make it big.

And the advice is the same. RISK looking like a fool. Be obvious! Put yourself out there! 5 Pentacles shows you’ve faced rejection before, you’ve probably tried to follow this advice before, whether regarding this or something else. Rejection is just redirection, it’s not that you’re bad or wrong, that this isn’t your path or you can’t have what you want, it’s just that particular company / gig / person isn’t the one that it’s going to happen with, or the *what* needs readjustment. Same energy, different target! For those wanting to reunite with an ex, same target, different strategy / behavior. The signs could be a hint of who they are, or who you are. There is very heavy fire 🔥 and that’s what you’re needing to embody, if you don’t already possess it. Fire does not sit around and pine over things. They want it, they go get it 💯 And they make it look easy, because they tend to be more impulsive and *thinking about it* or planning can be an afterthought. Just do it.

Sagittarius being highlighted specifically can be the person, you, or the energy you need. They are a very laid back sign when it comes to details, demands, and expectations, but so much fun and always keeping a sense of humor about things. They’re not emotional, they just want to have a good time, and often impulsively just decide to do something they think would bring them a lot of joy. If it doesn’t work out, that’s okay shit happens. We still had fun, and aren’t going to linger in any disappointment. Onto the next thing tomorrow, the path is always open to head down a new lane, there is no “stuck”. Keeping an optimistic and positive attitude, seeing yourself as a winner regardless of circumstance, and eventually you’ll get there.

You need this attitude, because you’re so focused on the negative and what could go wrong, that you stop yourself before you even start! Fear is blocking an entrepreneurial spirit, the fire inside you to motivate and inspire your next big move! Kindly get out of your own way, hype yourself up like the bad bitch (m/f) you know you are, and go get what you want, despite any criticism or rejections from others, trust that you will intuitively know the difference between ✨constructive✨ and useless 🗑️ criticism. Opinions are like assholes 🧡

Charms:

Star of Fame 🌟 on Knight of Cups is something big, and romantic. For the love it could be going above and beyond, making it clear and obvious you’re interested, doing special things that really catch the attention of others. For music, love would be your area of focus, to get the attention you’re seeking. If you love things, be open about those things and you can find others that love them too! Speaking kindness and life into others, love songs, kind actions towards others will always be celebrated by all people. If you want romance, SAY so! Be that, in order to attract it back towards you.

Treble Clef 🎼 on Great Adventure is music, hobbies, concerts, whatever makes you feel excited and alive, do more of that. Take more risks with things you’ve maybe never done before but have thought about or would love to try. You’re the only one stopping you here.

Sagittarius ♐️ on Start is what I said about Sagittarius already, and could be very specific depending on you & your story. Think positive. Sure it might not work, but it could, or it could give you an even better idea that DOES. It’s a whole process, don’t fear failure before you start, just fear giving up or losing motivation, and keep things handy to perk you back up if and when you feel like you’re going to. This is a sign that does whatever tf they want, and unapologetically so, others will either meet you on your level or watch you walk towards what does 💯

Tree of Life 🌳 & Dead Tree 🍂 on Strength literally shows you killing your chances before they even have a chance to bloom or go full circle. The beginning and the end, and you may have already gone through a whole cycle of something you fear repeating, that’s why you hold back. But it only burdens you further because it keeps you in Hermit energy. Wands do not belong in Hermit energy for more than a short period, they have got to be social or they go bananas 🍌 If you’re looking for love, take amazing pictures and create a profile on some site. Tell your friends to set you up - with Collaboration. FLIRT, and be open to having a good time, even if they’re not “it” - Sag energy. Even if it’s getting someone back, if that’s the thing weighing on your heart and you picked this, then you’ve got a real shot, but you’ve got to show up, make moves, and impress. Be romantic, be sexy, be confident, show off. Be YOU, authentically, confidently. I don’t think this would come out, and you wouldn’t have picked it, if you were really doomed to failure. But you have to try, or keep trying! Listen to those around you too, the positive people, collaboration & 3 Cups can show well meaning and helpful friends around you that can help you get to where you want to go. They make you feel good. Only spend time with people that make you feel good!

Pile 2 - Gold 🏆

The Dream: Progress

The House: 3rd

Signs: Heavy Pisces, Gemini, Virgo & Sagittarius, Jupiter/placements in Aquarius

Oracles:

38 Limits

Know that limiting attitudes are often formed as protective reactions to past events.

18 Start

You must start from where you are, examine your situation, and take a chance.

61 Happy Accident

Fortunate accidents can act as guides to edit and be open to where you should go next.

36 Generosity

You can afford to be generous with the gift of your time and attention.

What can you do right now to prepare?

I don’t see a specific dream, you JUST want to know if there will be some progress where you are! For most of you it’s probably career related, and for others it can be friends, coworkers, contacts in your life that just do not help you out as much as you wish they would. Knight of Pentacles shows you as on your grind, every day, without fail. You may have already put quite a lot of time into a job or project, and this reading is saying more time is needed. Not “no” just “not right now”. For some it’s due to the current Jupiter transit in Taurus, which seems to be the star of your reading. The sign pulled was Jupiter Aquarius, you could have this, lucky people in your life could, or this is showing that your “luck” is squared right now in some way, and things are changing in the background that will inevitably work in your favor. But might not seem that way at first.

Once Jupiter moves into Gemini in a year (05/24/2024), it’s feeling like that’s when things can really start moving in the direction you want them to, at least for this pile. You want cooperation, and you want your ideas to be heard, to feel valued and appreciated for all the work and effort you put into something. I see a Tower ahead, if it hasn’t already happened, every card connected to this Tower is happy and fortunate for you. Again, you may not feel that way at first. There are a lot of worries and anxiety you’re carrying needlessly, much of this feels out of your control. It’s possible you will/need to decide to leave some things behind. Uncooperative people, fake “friends”, even ideas of yours that aren’t going to stay exactly as they are. You’re in a cycle of big change, and you feel like things aren’t moving, but they are.

It could be your career is in a cycle of big change, they may be cleaning house and getting rid of people you’ve been manifesting OUT of your life, and way. If you lose a job, I see you finding a better one. If you lose friends, I see you finding better ones, more aligned to your path. 3rd House can refer to siblings, neighbors, people around your neighborhood you see from time to time, casual connections, even people from early childhood or school days. This feels very positive and like the sort of people you should involve yourself in or around more often, they could be beneficial to you, or end up being great friends of yours. A “Happy Accident” will be the beginning of a beautiful new beginning for you, and in the meantime, know that you’re stuck temporarily with the Limits, that your continuous grinding loyalty is still required with Knight of Pentacles, and that it’s out of your control for now, but for your highest good - Wheel of Fortune. Watching Clouds ☁️ in the meantime, wear earbuds, work on your inner self, find people that make you feel good and have some great conversations that really stick with you - 3rd House, and tune out the negative people or those that get on your nerves. Yes, there will be progress.

Charms:

Guitar 🎸 on Watching Clouds is connecting with music or hobbies to pass any free time and make you feel connected to yourself. These can refer to relaxation techniques as well, music can be one, the card has a hammock, books, and a cup of tea. Yes you’re working hard, but you should also be enjoying yourself as much as possible. It’s not like you’re being cursed, it feels more like you’re being gifted with this transition period. Get inspired by feeling good and use that to really think & dream about what you’d like to see happen.

Clover 🍀 on Wheel of Fortune is a repeated message that the things that will be changing are for your highest good. I don’t see lottery wins, but by all means Happy Accident with this are probably all I would need 😆 Buy some tickets. If things make you worry or stress, have faith that everything is going to work out for the best. And relax. You’re on the lucky side of the changes that are coming.

Fractal Leaf 🍃 on Ace of Cups shows many different elements of growth to these changes that will turn out to be a new beginning for you. This can be a lover, a hobby, a new dream (or several), good connections with newer people coming into your life. It’s new and it’s positive, but there are several different shocking or changing factors that get this to happen in the first place. When you do things, put your heart into them, or do things that you feel a deeper connection to, talk to people that love the same things as you do.

Starfish ⭐️ on 9 Swords tells you to calm your fears, worries, sleepless nights, constant anxiety. You need healing and regeneration, this can be watching videos on your similar situation from others who have been through it, going to counseling, seeking advice from people close to you that understand you. It really feels like you’re looking for your tribe, along with some career success you’re hoping to have as well. The message is not to worry, and focus on healing the thoughts and triggers that cause you to worry in the first place.

Peace ☮️ on Happy Accident & Generosity is beautiful energy, taking things as they come and seeing the higher purpose to everything if you can. Being kind, loving, peaceful in your attitude & outlook, and generous to others is what will likely win a lot more people over to your side, especially those ruled by the 3rd House. Your local waitress, trash man, cashier, next door neighbor, siblings and possible in-laws or nieces & nephews. Anyone you communicate with. The more you give, the more you’ll get in the long term.

Pile 3 - Indigo 🌌

The Dream: Page of Wands

The House: 6th House

Signs:

Libra, Aquarius, Cancer, Venus in Cancer

Oracles:

4 Recycle

Learn from the past and apply it to creating your vision of the future.

24 Partnership

Once you have decided to walk your path in partnership, you must put the relationship first.

44 Transformation

Allow the energy of fear to be transformed by love, creativity, and compassion.

31 Communication

The clarity, interactivity, and timing of communications is critical.

What can you do right now to prepare?

You have some heavy family dynamics that you haven’t healed from, nor have they, and your dream according to this - is a message that you receive (not send). Yet I get the feeling that even if you received one, you wouldn’t be receptive to it. The signs here show up as signs that can have a hard time setting firm boundaries with loved ones, you have experienced feeling fully responsible for someone else and being taken advantage of. Or perhaps you’ve done this to someone else.

Some of these wounds could be healed, and some of them are too far gone. Recycle is you needing to determine what is what. If someone has abused you or been cruel to you, then you owe them nothing & same for anyone else. 6th House being the House of Service shows you feel like you have to “serve” those close to you, work for them, dote on them, no. Nor do they. Only if you want to, and if others abuse this kindness, it ends 💯 There is clearly some unfinished business here, that either you wish someone would come forward and discuss, or you want to send a long message with all of your feelings inside…and just don’t, or haven’t. You’re afraid of feeling guilty, or indebted to someone else, afraid of feeling used or manipulated, and your fears work overdrive when it comes to this situation. Especially if you are somehow at fault. Does everyone hate you? Do they think you don’t care? If you talked to them, could it change?

For the last question, I get a clear yes.

Only if you want to. For the relationships that are worth saving, Recycle, Transformation, and Communication all show 4444 together, which is stability, home, security, feeling safe. Positive and stable relationships. Partnership rounds it out, as something you know you should do, and also something you fear��being stuck or trapped to a situation you don’t want to be in due to “loyalty” or family. Some of you will be like “absolutely not” regarding healing and transforming these connections, you know you best. This being the dream though, if you resist it, why do you want it?

The advice on either side is to decisively choose to free yourself and heal your heart. Speaking your mind and feelings to those that need to hear it, whether it’s “I miss you” or a “fk you for hurting me”, whatever you keep locked up tight and refuse to actually express. Whether healing the connection or not, this conversation you want to have will heal YOU. I don’t see you being unkind though, even if you were hurt, and 3 Swords rev shows you were, and have healed. You’ve kept yourself trapped in your head in an emotional prison of wounds you don’t speak about, that have hurt your relationships, whether deserved or not. So speak your truth. Some can heal and change, some aren’t as bad as you fear they are, and some just need to hear it because you’ve never told them. If others are receptive, transformation is inevitable, and if they’re not, now you know, but either way this can be laid to rest.

Charms:

Crown 👑 on Mystic Healer is your gift, it’s likely for most of you that on your own journey of healing you could heal others that surround you, those in your family, your friends, anyone that spends time with you. If you haven’t already spiritually ascended, you’re heading in that direction, where you fully understand the inner workings of everyone in your life and how it flows (or doesn’t) with you, plus how to help others take steps towards doing this for themselves. Especially with 6th House, you really are a helper, and a healer, for other people, it’s something you feel you “owe” to others, society, and yourself too. Some of that energy could be used towards the home and family for this pile.

Rocking Horse 🐴 on 10 Cups indicates children, connected to avoidance, lying, sneaking, cheating and deceiving. Could be your own children, some in your family, friend group, traumas from childhood, childhood friends and companions. It can be so many things, you’ll have to apply this to your story however it fits. Some of you may be avoiding having/wanting kids due to family trauma and wanting to end your bloodline, feeling you’re cursed or something. I really don’t get that being true, but it’s these sorts of thoughts and feelings that need to be brought to light & discussed. Some of you have childhood wounds to heal. Some of you may have walked away from children or had others walk away from you as a child…deep wounds are indicated.

Regrowth 🌳 on The World rev looks dead, just like The World looks done, but neither actually are. The tree is growing leaves, slowly, and The World is reversed, waiting on something to fully close this cycle for good. It comes in the form of a message to someone you either really want to talk to, know you need to, or can’t rest until you finally do.

Hamsa Hand 🪬 (down) on Transformation talks about blessings, gifts, abundance, wonderful things coming your way. The universe wants to give you positive transformations and healing, you have nothing…irrational to fear. Again if you know a person is no good and your gut says NO, listen. Most stories I get here aren’t tragic, and can be healed with some honest communication, accountability, and vulnerability. It all feels very positive. If this person is evil then the closure needs to come from yourself, still maybe sending a message, or talking with others that have gone through this same experience.

Locked Heart 🔒 on 8 Swords rev is you releasing yourself from a self imposed prison that you’ve held yourself in who knows how long. If you can’t forgive and change the relationship with a person, okay. Forgive yourself, speak it out loud to whoever needs to hear it. For some, you may keep painful secrets from a partner or family members. Release those too! Open up to those that love you and nothing bad will come from that, only support and understanding. You have to choose to heal though, you can’t avoid it anymore. Once you do, who you are will completely transform into a more self assured, confident, happy & healed person. For some, a “homecoming” is in store. For everyone, all you want the most is to release this feeling of guilt, avoidance, not speaking your truth and hiding your pain - which will take a conscious effort, and courage.

For a very small portion of you, this is a relationship you just want to end, and leave, but you feel guilty about it, or like you owe them your time, loyalty, all of you. Or there is some aspect that keeps you unhappy and you need to address this. You could have kids together, or one of you does and there is a bond there regardless. Again some can heal, with communication & opening up about how you really feel, and some just want to finally let it go and feel free again. Speak your desires into life, or your pain into awareness, attempting telepathy often leads to wrong assumptions, fear winning, foggy understandings & confusion. Is it intuition or is it just projection of my own fears? Moon energy 😵‍💫 If your behaviors, fears, accusations, etc. match the energy in your 7th House, then it’s possible you’re a part of the problem and that’s what you’ve avoided facing, not speaking your truth to resist hearing the truth of others as well. 7th House is who we attract and what we project (our shadow 😈 side) and everyone has a side. Again, if abuse is involved, fk their side, no one gets to defend having abused you and no one deserves to be abused, you only owe yourself an apology for beating yourself up about it 💜 But that’s not everyone here, it’s a mixed bunch in this pile, some just want to do the right thing, some are wrong, some have never gotten clarity and have built walls for nothing, and some have been wronged.

What can you do right now to prepare?

Two clear stories here that are night 🌙 and day ☀️ but both represented by 10 Pentacles, the solid family or business foundation on which we stand, what most of us are working towards, ideally.

Story 1: You are very religious or spiritual, your beliefs run deep. I don’t see a Hierophant to show them being super conservative or not, that may vary between you all. But there has been some element of “sin” in your family, either a specific person or this could be a generational trauma of some kind that is just too eerie to be a coincidence. It probably relates to things of a sexual nature, addictions, known issues & Devil related topics, and either judging these things yourself or being judged for them. I’m getting the message that if you’re a true believer, it’s not your job to judge. Give it to God, or whatever you believe in, and on your side, forgive this person for whatever it is you’re holding against them. It can be as simple as a crop top, a flirty text, or a teen pregnancy scare & the abortion/birth control debate, it could be an extremely religious background, ideals, goals, that you want your family to be a part of, or absolutely do NOT. But there is Judgment being cast where it’s not your place to cast it, it’s your place to forgive, support, and “stay in your lane”. Or break free from it altogether, if you’re the one that is being judged by people that don’t get to do that.

Whatever this is, it’s not about you anymore, it’s about the legacy you’re leaving behind for the rest of your family. Your values, your beliefs, you want to protect them and also want to stand solid & strong in your personal morals. It’s got a righteous ring to it, for some, others are genuinely the more volunteer/helper of the community sort of people. Those dealing with addictions and other problems like that. You want to heal your family lineage and teach them the “right” way to be, whether your kids, spouse, siblings, parents even. There is a fine line there. You are best to lead by example and allow others to follow, be patient & forgiving, not pushy. Your oracle cards show you as a fierce warrior of truth & spiritual values. Always be careful to only judge yourself, and everything else here is beautiful and positive for you. If healing family wounds is your goal, you have more than enough ability to do so, for some of you that’s your true calling in life, and you already know that. Transformation is a beautiful energy, and with N Node Leo, whatever work you’re putting into spirituality, a church perhaps, rehabilitation, social work, you name it, it’s going to receive a lot of positive attention. You can’t get better energy for what you want to do. But you can’t immerse yourself in a community if you’re on a pedestal looking down on them, that’s what this whole message is saying. Some won’t choose your way, and you have no control over that, but you can love them anyway. Jesus didn’t feast with the wealthy & righteous. How is such a conservatively religious sort of message coming out on this blog, like I get it and it’s useful & true, but I’m just lost. Not all of you are religious, or some of you were raised that way and reject it, but still act like this towards others. Or you may be dealing with people like this and need to spread the message. There is no one way, no one direction is the right direction, everyone has different paths, values, talents, interests, beliefs, etc. It’s safer to assume most of them are right if they all have the same basic idea right, just don’t be a shitty person 😁

Story 2: You want to start your own business, re-open an old family one, or reimagine an old idea of the family’s. Possibly keeping one going, but I see this more for the ones with an idea and little else so far. You want to create something lasting and beautiful that you can pass down through the generations. But you’re only at 2 Wands, the early planning stages, and Delay shows you as easily distracted, talking yourself out of things, procrastination, and a lack of faith you needn’t have. You have Protected By Angels, which is funny because story 1 is all about religion, and you have the angels 😇 That’s because they already know they have them. You don’t. But…you do 🩵

All of the energy here shows you having amazing visualization skills but you really have to put time into mediation and creating what you want to have inside of your head first. Your manifestation abilities may be very powerful and you don’t even realize it. You want success, your family to share in your success, enough money to handle the bills and some for vacations and stuff too, it’s your dream. You have all of the tools to create exactly what you want, the only things you need is 1. A plan. 2. Money, for supplies, a workspace, etc. 3. Research 💯 and 4. Execution. Queen of Pentacles shows you’ve got this, because she’s got this, running a business or the financial ties to her world (10 Pentacles) are what she does best. You could be a single parent that wants to work for themselves and spend more time at home with your kids. Once you have everything picked out, decided, saved up for, and ready to go…North Node Leo is destined for success, attention, fame on some level is likely - even a local level, positive recognition from others and a great, well-known reputation for something everyone wants, that you do best. It’s something you will have to work for, but it all starts inside of your own head.

Charms:

Story 1:

Alice 🐇 on 9th House could be showing children specifically as your target audience, maybe instilling spiritual or moral values into them, you could be a teacher or family psychologist of some kind, or that’s the goal. This could also include fairy tales. I gotta throw out there, with Moulin Rouge too and this heavy sense of moral JUSTICE, you could be concerned about things regarding child abuse, and that’s being shown by the author of this particular story. Idk for sure, but we’ve all heard he’s suspicious. Being a protector of children could be a high level priority for you, and bless you for that. Or with Transformation, you may take things like fairy tales and modernize them in some way. Could be 1000 things but that’s what I got from this. If your children do not believe what you believe or do what you want them to do…they have their own path. Same for you with your own parents. Some of you need to get in touch with your own inner child, there’s a lot of learning that needs to happen here, whether it’s regarding control, spirituality, right vs. wrong or old vs. modern, maybe a combination of all of these things. From what I’ve gathered in these readings, everyone is going to experience the path that is for them, regardless of what others think or believe about it. So you decide to help, or hurt, the inevitable.

Moulin Rouge 💋 on Judgement is difficult, because Temperance is having patience and understanding with those that are very different from you. You could be easily triggered by things like sex workers, models, drug addicts, alcoholics, gamblers, etc etc. The religiously righteous of you have to toe the fine line of what’s best for you, giving with a pure heart, and battling the deeply ingrained judgement that you want to pass out, or have to experience. Constantly having to keep yourself in check and also not being too soft that you don’t have boundaries. Some of you are reformed addicts etc., have a past, and want to turn things around, some of you have been “saved” by whichever God etc., and now want to spread the word & help others. Again some of you are advocates for children or protective of them being put in these situations, and bless you for that 💯🙏

Sword 🗡 on Capable is similar to Ace of Swords, which is absolute truth, honesty, fairness, and decisively making the best choices for you, your purpose, your message or whatever you’re needing to do. It’s separating “the point” from the extras of a situation. It’s the same sword of Justice that cuts off what is not necessary or conducive for the purpose or outcome you need/desire. The meaning behind this whole story is wholesome, and yet you’re fierce. 10 Pentacles could show you working with families as a counselor with the goal to keep them whole. Kids are here more than once. For some, it’s your inner child. Or your own children. Some of you may have been victims of painful experience, and only want to make life better for your own children, breaking generational curses and any trauma you had experienced, so you & life can be better for them. Setting the example of what family should be. Some of you may be projecting fear onto children and unknowingly causing unnecessary fear & damage, or even manifesting your own fears into reality, if that’s something you’re constantly focused on. Thoughts become things. Kids rebel. Open honest conversations are needed to bring clarity on all sides.

Story 2:

Spider & Web 🕷 on The Magician is a beautiful message of being able to spin the reality you desire in whatever way you want it to be, the same message of The Magician, but in case you missed it the first time. You can create your reality, and there is nothing stopping you but you, that I can see. If you feel like you can’t, this is saying you’re wrong, with love.

Dragonfly 🪷 on Sacred Space shows a transformation being necessary, and it’s directly connected to delays. If you spend most of your time in crowded spaces, around chaos or constant playing phones, tvs, computers, chatty people, it’s not good for what you’re trying to do here. You’re easily distracted, and part of you uses that as an excuse. This says you need to create (or transform) a space that is entirely for your creative manifestation ideas and thinking. A thinking spot. Like Winnie the Pooh 🍯 but with a vibe that’s soft, tranquil, and mimics what you want for this bigger idea, your space should get you into this mindset of what you want because it also is a part of what you want, but a smaller part. Vision boards could be very useful for you.

Axe 🪓 on Delay mirrors the Dragonfly, you have to recognize the things that distract you, whether it’s phone calls or loud tvs or social media etc., and figure out how to work around those things or get away from them entirely. It’s like you can’t even think, and you don’t make yourself. You need the equivalent of a man cave, except a whatever, “a tranquil sanctuary of Italian music” if a restaurant like that is what you’re going for. Something that inspires you to immediately imagine your idea, and make you ready to get started on a regular basis. An office. A nook. It’s a priority.

“You are exactly where you need to be.”

What can you do right now to prepare?

You’ve chosen the pile that wants a sexy, confident, amazing lover that leaves you speechless (or out of breath) and makes all of your dreams come true. They’re your best friend, lover, confidant, they want to marry you and spend the rest of your lives together. Masculine & Feminine energies both dominate, Mars signs and Venus signs are both the focus here, no matter where you fall gender wise you want a lover, THE person of your dreams. In your head, they’re incredibly attractive and possess more Mars/Aries qualities, very forward & direct, confident, flirty, commanding & dominant, they make the first move, they get attention from everyone in the room because they’re a larger than life sort of personality - for half. The other half are dark, mysterious, watch you from across the room with a deep & almost obsessive stare, immediately infatuated with ONLY you. Scorpio. That HEAT 🔥 passion, smoldering, lusty, “love at first sight” kind of feeling. But also, one that lasts 💯 I’m getting more Venus energy from you.

Here is where the story splits - half of you feel like you know this person already, you’re story 1. The other half are waiting to finally meet them and it’s killing you like come ON already, you’re story 2.

Story 1:

You’re madly infatuated with someone in your world, 11th House shows they could be a friend right now, or you’ve only recently started dating, you could have met them through friends, networking, social media/online, or dating apps. The chemistry is on fire, and you want things to go to the next level. They’re acting like they’re at a 3, casual and friendly, not pushing too hard or going too fast, and you’re at a TEN BABY 💍 Put a ring on it, give me babies, I got an appointment to look at a nice area rug for our living room. Chop chop. I feel for most this is all NEW, and you crazy 😆, but for some of you it’s been enough time (years) to where this energy makes more sense. They’re everything you’ve ever wanted, imagined, hoped for. Even more than that. You’ve probably never been so stuck on someone like this. So what’s the problem?

The waiting is killing you, this whole dating game dance, you’re dying for this person to direct, lead, “pleaaaase tell me what you want” sort of energy. What you can do to help this along right now, is be very clear…strategic, but clear, about how much you’re into them. What are your goals, what are theirs? What inspires you, and them? What are they hoping for this relationship, are they just living in the now or do they have hopes for longer term love? Communication is everything, I’m getting the more you let them know how crazy about them you are, the more they’ll reciprocate, if this is the right one for you. Opal on The Emperor can show a dominant sort of person yes, and also they’re kind of shy! Or weird with opening up. They can ask you if you want a drink, or tacos for dinner, but in heart matters, it’s your turn to take the lead. You both have to take turns being the aggressor and the more receptive & vulnerable, it’s a balance, that’s what Mars & Venus are showing here, not gender or even signs really. Maybe. Saturn Taurus, if not a literal placement of someone, is showing a need to be patient and give things/people the time they need to naturally unmask themselves, open up, dig deeper, commit, feel things, etc. You’re being encouraged to act on your feelings, open the door, start asking the right questions and be transparent about how you feel and what you want…no pressure though. Balance. You feel like you’ve found some treasure, you have, and the more you learn the crazier about them you are or will be 🩷 But what do they want? Get answers. Unless you just met them last week.

Story 2:

This smoldery sexy partner is what you’re dreaming of day in and day out, you’re manifesting them like crazy, obsessively, and it’s not showing up for you like you’ve asked for. You’ve waited and waited for someone to approach you, ask you out, where is this dream lover, you’ve done all of the manifestation work and it’s like it hasn’t worked for you. You’re losing patience or starting to believe maybe this isn’t in the cards for you - with the Worry card here. All of your Oracle cards show that this person you dream of isn’t coming, because *that* person isn’t actually compatible with who you are! It’s what you want, but you don’t yet know what you NEED. If this person walked into the bar tonight and was very forward & direct, or silent and stalkerish, be honest, you’d probably get creep vibes or some red flags signaling (helpppp!). In your head, in movies, it’s great, it’s hot. In reality, this doesn’t seem like the right person for you. You’re in the middle of a big shift, realizing who you really are, and what you really want, and that’s the advice here.

You want something long lasting, possibly a “friends first” sort of connection. This could also be hinting that the person you’re looking for is or will be a friend first. With Unknown Territory & Worry, I get your “dreams” or standards actually being kind of a problem, you may have a laundry list of qualities that aren’t feasible or don’t actually work for you. Some of your standards may be unreachable, or even unlikely for the sort of person you’d actually be happy with. Whoever the right one is, I get that they don’t match anything you’re thinking of, and they’re nothing like whatever you’ve experienced before. Clearly that’s a good thing, because what didn’t work - didn’t work for a reason, they’ll be your person. While you’re working on growing and changing, maturing yourself and going after the things you want & enjoy, you’ll find this person eventually, many signs point to friends. You could meet them through a friend, a gathering with your own friends, definitely something social with 11th House & 3 Cups. But that list you’ve got of what they look like (smoldery), how they make you feel (lust), all of that forces you into a role that complements that type, and that’s not who you are. Stalkery fkery. “Bad boys/girls”. They’re bad for a reason, probably in jail right now 😆 In your case it’s like you’re chasing a venus/mars dynamic but really it’s an intelligent & funny sign that loves to chat that’s more your style. Not necessarily, but I’m definitely picking up more of a Mercury ruled sort of person, that would be Gem/Vir in placements or risings. They’re not smoldery, they’re chatty, straightforward, honest, transparent, and super friendly. Like you? If you go for tattoos, maybe they’re more simple & straightedge, if you’re more long hair & grunge, they could be neat & simple, if you’re more bougie & expensive, they could be more shell necklaces, organics and locs. Be more willing to try new experiences & see what happens. Again with Saturn Taurus, same as the first story, things taking some necessary time is what’s going to drive you bonkers, or you/they could have this placement. This position would also nod towards having a narrow lane of vision that needs to expand because it only works against you. If you have a “type” it hasn’t worked before so…maybe it’s time to let that go 💘

Charms:

Courageous ♈️ and Scorpio ♏️ on King of Wands is describing “the dominant male” or the “powerful vixen” in your typical movie style archetypes. Make sure your reality matches your ideals, it’s not just lust, and you’re not just projecting fantasies onto someone that isn’t actually how you may be seeing them. That’s why time & getting to know them is necessary. You definitely want someone that makes the first move, but you also have to be open to who does that. Some of you just need to say that to your person, and others of you can’t pretend to know how that’s going to show up for you. Likely unexpected.

Opal 💗 on The Emperor shows the Aries/Libra opposition, yin & yang, masculine and feminine, chaser & chased. There is no one story here, everyone wants something different. The Venus signs are softer, more receptive, “the chased”, ruled by love, friendship, dating, etc. The Empress. The Mars signs take initiative, are more aggressive, chase what they want (prefer to), typically more dominant & powerful personalities. These two being together can show balance is needed, not wanting one more than the other, and also accepting that these roles will need to flip back and forth sometimes. No one can stay in their masculine action or feminine receptivity every second, it’s necessary that both of you can instinctively shift into the other role too. Or it can become a more toxic energy, like for masculine, you don’t want a total aggressive meathead that can’t show emotions at all right? Or for feminine, one that expects you to initiate, plan, act on everything and they just accept or don’t make any moves ever? No, it’s needing a balance of both. Knowing which energies you tend to be more comfortable in, and what you need in another person to balance out your own personality, plus what they want too. It can come in an unexpected package that don’t have anything to do with these planets. If you are comfortable with one energy, this can be saying do the opposite and see what happens. And if you have a person, what is their own energy, you’ll have to balance with them or speak the need for them to do the same with you 💯

Spider & Web 🕷 on Ace of Swords is manifesting exactly what you want, having the tools to do so by using communication, ideas, the truth, being upfront and honest about who you are and what you want. For Story 1 it’s opening up to this person, for Story 2 it’s clarity about yourself that’s needed.

Starfish ⭐️ and Treble Clef 🎼 on Ace of Cups show music, hobbies, and following your passions in life and doing activities involving those things are what will lead you to healing any past wounds you still carry, and any fears you may have. You could meet your person through doing some of these things, especially where friends are involved, or if you know them already, getting them around your friends would be a good idea. Like parents, friends know who you are and can vibe accurately with your new date a few times, they’ll always tell you the truth you may not see. So long as you agree.

Rose 🌹 on 6 Pentacles is beautiful growth in yourself and your relationships with equal give and take. No one person is doing more, giving more, receiving more, it’s an equal exchange of energies. Today my person is planning everything and working hard for me to enjoy them, tomorrow I’m cleaning & detailing our cars because they don’t like to, etc. They asked me out last time and I didn’t respond, let me ask them this time. Doing life together & making each others lives easier and a happier, being open and honest about what you want and how you feel = happiness. When your person is sick, you step up, romance is a two way street.

What can you do right now to prepare?

This pile is pretty vague, but 9/10 people choosing this pile probably hate their job more than anything else - specifically. You’d all love to pick up the phone, call in, tell them to fk off and you’re never coming back GOOD DAY. Biiiitch 😆 You won’t of course, you’re too responsible for all that, and that’s the issue.

The dream itself is taking very fast, impulsive action, just waking up and deciding you’d rather do anything else but go back to this same place yet again to do the same shit yet again, to just be not appreciated and overly burdened. The only part I’m seeing you not being able to do, is the impulsive part, which you already know. But that is the dream. King of Pentacles describes you, you’re the career oriented, business running, every I is dotted and T is crossed kind of financial planner personality, it’s a wonderful thing and your biggest burden. You may be the type to act guilty if you take “you time”, vacations, sick days, overworking yourself to death…for what? There is no reward for that. Money sure, but it won’t matter if you’re dead because you can’t be bothered to take lunch breaks, nourish yourself, needed vacations and time off to just live. Everyone knows it’s the charming yes men that can’t math actually get the promotions 😁 Not the ones willing to die on the same hill they came in on. Which is part of your advice here, with Libra.

That isn’t shade @ Libra, everyone knows they’re charming & persuasive, Share with their charm is showing you needing to embody that energy a little more. Be chatty, friendly, seek to make a friend out of everyone, and always get your own personal bugs (ideas/desires) in everyone’s ear. Libra knows it takes cooperation and networking to move up the ladder, and it often works for them. People help them, because they like them. Your energy comes up more as Capricorn, regardless of actual signs. “I don’t deserve nice things and I’ll slave until I die to earn them.” Balance 🙏 That personality can be taken advantage of a lot, because they know you’ll always show up, and they can slack off. Why would people try harder or move you up, if you’ll willingly run the whole show as just Cashier #5, no no, you’re good where you are. Forever 🫠

The advice can be a couple things. If you have the money, take a vacation. You need a break. It can be that simple, save up some money and just do it. Then when you come back refreshed, make yourself a whole new person while alone, daydream yourself into a reality where you are in a position that’s valued, respected, and well paid. It starts with valuing yourself. Get inspired. Meditate. Then when you come back, start speaking up and charming everyone around you until you get word of a new position. They don’t tell you the “shmoozing” is silent in “promotion”. But that’s who always gets promoted, and you’ve got it, so use it.

Others of you are really entrepreneurs at heart, and your desire could actually be starting your own business, which I see very positive things for. Not impulsively 💯 But by perfecting an idea, putting in the time and work, saving up the money, networking, getting it all going in whichever ways this applies. You want it to be fast, but it won’t be fast. If it was, you’d be fast and broke, and you don’t want really that. Don’t just quit tomorrow, but start prioritizing honing these skills and crafts, whatever is your idea. There’s a whole period of trial and error, and making changes you maybe didn’t even see the first time around. If your own business is the dream, I see it having enormous potential to grow into something long lasting. Or this can be a hobby, a side hustle, an investment, any number of things but financial rewards are possible with it.

Your advice is to spend a lot more time on your own, making the necessary space and prioritizing yourself, so you have the time you need to really get clear on what you want, what it should look like, how you can schedule that in, how will it benefit you and what does it require of you? Getting feedback, with Share, is also a good idea, which doesn’t mean spill your ideas to the world but looking for other people who have done this already - tell their stories. Get inspired, network, make friends & contacts in this world you want to jump into. Then by the time you actually make moves, you’ll have more confidence, knowledge, helpful suggestions and good business sense.

If your family is what is demanding so much of your time and energy, you could need a separate space for “you stuff”. Your own thoughts, your break from chaos, everyone should have a space and you deserve one too, your family can learn that when you are in this space, leave you alone for awhile. Running isn’t the answer here, prioritizing yourself is, and this Fool can relate to you setting necessary boundaries in your life with people who think they are owed all of your time, your attention, your money, no. I don’t see kids, but in the case you have them plz don’t leave them alone to burn the house down - obviously. Within reason, you can set aside time for yourself and others have to honor it just like you would for them. If you work at home, then a workspace dedicated to you & work, and respecting these boundaries is required with you. Many people throw their weight around with their demands, expectations, preferences, yada yada ok sure. You get to have some too. Everyone does 💜 We work around & respect those boundaries and desires when we care about someone, it’s not hard. It’s more you realizing you need it. For work, they are exchanging your life for pay. Give them what they pay for, no more, and make your expectations of reward or higher status clear…in a friendly way.

Charms:

Capricorn ♑️ on The Fool is a total contradiction, jumping headfirst into something unknown with the sign that crosses every T and financially budgets the plan with very little leeway in order to achieve maximum return on their investment, yeah we don’t do foolish or impulsive things here. Probably why you want to be like that, it’s unheard of. This is really saying risks are fine to take, you’re too calculated & practical to jump into shark infested waters, so even more than most you’re actually fine and shouldn’t hold yourself back so much. Do your research sure, get reviews, find the most cost effective option, all great, and then JUMP.

Charming ♎️ on Share seems to be qualities you do possess that you ought to highlight more. You’re friendly, sociable, like getting feedback from other people, and you have a way with others that make them feel special and genuinely cared about. In turn, that makes them want to help you, talk to you, be your friend. It’s like you have this quality but you don’t turn it on, unless you have to. Choose to, consciously, on purpose.

Happy Cloud ⛅️ on Wish Granted is a daydreamy energy, manifesting the thing you want into your life by having the necessary time to really dig deep and figure out what that is. You’re going to have a dream come true, this card shows it as being a definite thing.

Dragonfly 🪷 on The Hermit is metamorphosis, change, evolution, a spiritual awakening for some being The Hermit. The more you know yourself, your talents, and what you need, the more authentic and successful your next move will be. You know you best, never question that or take “Share” so literal that you’re malleable to others’ input you may not actually agree with. Be friendly, and also yourself. You may do your best work alone and also are a social creature, both wolves need feeding.

Comb 👱‍♀️ on Innovation could talk about experimenting with your look, the look of a business, the physical characteristics of things. This could be a nod towards an idea you have, something you need, or generally something that would revitalize your spirit and make you feel inspired to change/transform yourself now from how you’ve been before. 8th House is intense energy, there will be a necessary ending, but it feels more about what you will & wont accept, and what you want & don’t. Make the outside things look like your inside ideal.

Hi!

You can ignore this ask if you want!

Honestly as I was writing one ask another popped up in my mind 🥹so I decided to do two ask instead of one so I didn't spam your inbox haha!

Also sorry for bothering you with these ideas.

What would platonic yandere Dick Grayson do for the readers birthday? Would he invite anyone that he is close to or even trust or would it just be him and reader sharing a cake as he sings happy birthday to them? And also maybe gives them a lot of presents but they are kind of childish if that makes sense.

The other ask would be what would again platonic yandere Dick Grayson do if by some chance the reader escaped from him? Would he freak out for a bit and than promptly go and look for them? And once he finds them he's furious and the reader is scared because they have never seen him that angry or show that type of emotion before?

Again you can ignore this if you want I know I wrote a lot I was just so excited and the ideas popped into my head!

LOVE ALL THE WORKS YOU'VE DONE!

HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY OR NIGHT!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

𝐁𝐈𝐑𝐓𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐆…

!!! GN reader, infantilizing, mentions of kidnapping, handcuffs, forced-affection, pissed off Dick Grayson, brief mention of drugging, reader fears being hit for a second.

(ANON, I LOVE REPEAT OFFENDERS IN MY INBOX. DON’T YOU DARE FEEL BAD FOR FEEDING ME ASKS. I’M HUNGRYYYYYYYYYYYY.)

Birthday parties depend on how compliant you are. If you’re not trying to escape every other day, he’d gladly invite some of the Titans over to celebrate! He likes showing off his cool hero connections to you — even going as far as to play the “oh, Superman? His mother makes the best apple pie” card — so this would be a good way to live up to the hype. A lot of the party would be spent taking on your behalf, however. He just thinks he knows you that well (and he doesn’t want you to form a connection with anyone else; he’s the only one you need in your life!!). I can also see him laying down ground rules to the other Titans beforehand, practically threatening them to be on their best behavior. Big brother’s friends must be good role models to his young and impressionable sibling!!

Now, I already said that it depends on how compliant you are, but it also depends on what your situation is, too. I lowkey kinda imagine all of the platonic Dick Grayson asks to take place in the same universe as Life With Older Brother, which means everyone knows you’re under Dick’s care, and it’s pretty much the only scenario where inviting people to your birthday would work. But if you were kidnapped, it would be a different story. He’s not risking anyone finding out about you (which complicates his relationship with a very young Tim Drake, who would totally accidentally stumble upon you in the apartment, but that’s a story for another day), so even if you were very complacent, I don’t see him inviting anyone over.

Back to the Life With Older Brother universe, if you “misbehave” a lot, it would just be the two of you. He’d almost hold it over your head, sadly sighing as he says things like, “it would’ve been a bigger party this year, but only good little siblings get big birthday parties.” If you were a fucking child, maybe this dumb guilt-tripping tactics would actually work. If you try to cut your two-person party short by spending the rest of the day in your room, he’s not above wrestling you into his lap — or even handcuffing you to the kitchen table — so you can open your presents; and holy shit, there’s a lot of them. I can definitely see him getting you childish things, ranging from toys to innocent-looking kiddy clothes. Any gifts sent by Bruce are taken back to the store for return.

As for escaping…

There’s no way you’d manage to pull-off an escape while he’s in the apartment, so it’d be a nasty surprise for him when he returns from patrol. He’d frantically tear the place apart in search of you, his stomach dropping as he finds the clues of your apparent escape. Once he checks the security feed, he feels equal parts worried, heartbroken, and angry that you took it upon yourself to leave him. You really don’t know what’s good for you, do you?! You’d rather run around on dangerous streets than stay with your kind, loving, doting older brother…

His search probably wouldn’t take long. I can see him putting a tracker in your arm at some point, so it’s as simple as following the little red dot on his device. Relief washes over him when he sees you’re alright, but that does little to quell the betrayal rage he feels. He’s silently swoop down from above, forcefully picking you up from behind as he grapples back towards the apartment. You’d kick and thrash, plead and beg, but there’s nothing but radio silence on his end. The only inkling of a reaction you get is his tight frown and his extremely restrictive arm around your abdomen. Dread washes over your chest as you realize just how fucked you are.

Upon returning home, he practically throws you against his bed and spares no time handcuffing you to the headboard. Any sort of apologies you try to muster out immediately die on your tongue as he rips off his mask, his piercing blue eyes filled with an icy rage you’ve never seen before. It makes you want to curl into a little ball and wish you were never born.

“I don’t know what to do with you,” he’d lowly mutter, exasperation sprinkled between the gaps of his anger. There’s a moment where you think he’s going to start one of his signature lectures, but no such thing happens. Instead, he turns to the wall and punches it, causing you to flinch at the impact. Never has he shown this type of aggression in front of you. He’s yelled at you, sure, but physically punched something?

For the first time, you found yourself worrying if he’d put his hands on you.

I think he’d have to convince himself to cool off for a bit. First triple-checking that you couldn’t escape (possibly imposing more precautions like double restraints or the IV), he’d leave the apartment for another patrol, taking his anger out on any poor criminal he comes across. I’d say it takes an hour before he feels level-headed enough to come back home, his suit speckled with blood from viscous beat-down after viscous beat-down. It’s the first thing you notice when he comes through his bedroom window, causing your heart rate to pick up.

He wants so desperately to scream at you; he needs to get it through your thick skull that you’re safe here, and he’s the only one in the world who knows how to care for you and protect you. But that will come later. Right now, all he wants to do is bring you into a longing and desperate hug, not even taking the time to change out of his Nightwing suit beforehand.

You’d be held against him for a while, his trembling hands making sure you have no chance of squirming out of his hold. It may be suffocating, but at the very least, it quells your fears of him taking his anger out on you.

i went to the cinema to watch haikyu!! the dumpster battle today, and here's what i thought.. 🏐✨

soooo excited to be able to see this in cinema 🥹 haikyu has always been one of my top anime in my bucket list so i know i definitely couldn't miss this. here's my honest review about everything that i liked and what i don't like about the movie:

(spoiler alert! read at your own risk)

1. I LOVEEEE the animation, the soundtrack, the camera angle and everything!

the animation has gotten soooo much better than season 4 not gonna lie. it's not entirely similar to season 1-3, but it's still good! camera angle and how they capture each volleyball movements was so different compared to previous seasons. i can see that they put so much effort in making sure that they're not using reusable volleyball scenes..

2. child kenma and kuro relationship!!

one thing that i liked the most about this was the relationship of kenma and kuroo that got shown often. how they started liking volleyball.. not only that it's cute i also think that it made the whole nekoma x karasuno battle more complete

3. soundtrack.. definitely masterpiece

this sounds outdated but we all know haikyu has one of the best osts all the time!! i still loveeee the new osts that they put here in the movie. definitely adding the tensions

4. how the ball slipped from kenma's hand.. i think the animation could be better

this one scene.. was one memorable moment in the manga panel. so i was expecting it to be depicted in a more dramatic way.. but huft.. they made it just.. a bit too simple.. but oh well still good. i am not gonna complain

5. bit dragging in some parts (only my preference) but i guess it was necessary to the storyline

only in some parts.. like the first few opening scenes but nevermind me.. i was just being over dramatic here hahaha

this movie is definitely here for all the kenma kuro lovers. they showed up a lot and i think kenma narates the story and talks more than kageyama 🤣

nevertheless, it was a very good movie, however i did expect more because of all the hype. my favorite arc so far is the olympics arc.. so looking forward to see that arc being animated. i definitely love this haikyu movie and would rate it 8.5 out of 10 🌟

Daddy is off to work!

(Miles is a transman happily married to Hobie.)

"Okay, I'm heading off to work. Where my little man at?" Miles happily got his shoulder bag filled with paperwork while spotting his seven month old eating a couple of chopped fruit and cheerios on his high baby chair. The twenty seven year old wore a grey business suit with a silver watch and had on his marriage set on his ring finger.

Hobie a twenty eight year old had on a pink bath robe wearing a black bonnet, and big puffy Cookie Monster slippers. He hold a cup of hot coffee on his left ring finger having a silver wedding ring. Giving a silent wide yawn before rubbing his eyes, he made a loud sniff trying to stay awake. Waking up early to make his husband and son's a well balance breakfast had always been his main priority. "So soon?" He said with a deep rasp voice seeing how it's almost six in the morning. "You didn't finish your breakfast, Sunflower."

"Awe, bae. You know, I gotta catch the metro and a bus, but everything was delicious as always." Miles making funny faces to make his baby boy laughs. "Come here, mi bebé. Mwah! Mwah! Ohh, gimme those yummy cheeks." He gives kisses to his baby boy's big round cheeks, "Ohh, I could eat you up. Nom! Nom!"

"AH-hahaha." His son giggles, "Da-da!"

Miles nuzzles his noses into his son's cheeks to smell his scent, "Mmm, ahh! Mmm, ahh!" Something about that baby smell always get him hype for his 7-5 job. "Bye, Aaron. Daddy loves you. Be good to your papì! Mwah."

"Buh-bye!" Aaron spoke a bit before shoving a Cheerio in his mouth to eat, his big Honey brown eyes look at his daddy. Yet he has a resemblance of Hobie's dark skin tone, and nose.

Hobie saw on the small dinner table the plate of his husband's unfinished plate, half eaten French toast, most of scramble eggs were there and out of the three pieces of bacon Miles only ate one. "Luv, you gotta have a balance diet." He took the plate to eat it being hungry. "You only ate toast." He did saw Miles golf down one toast out of the two with butter and jam.

"I'll be fine, honey. Coffee was great by the way," Miles went over with the sound of his shoes on the wooden floor follower, he went over to kiss his husband's lips, "Bye, bae. Be good and I left two bottles for Aaron just in case he gets hungry. Mwah, love you."

The taller husband gave him a quick peck on the lips before shoving eggs into his mouth. He muffled, "Love you. Be safe." He saw Miles giving a warm smile before rushing out the door. Somehow he's always in the rush and being a little late to work.

"Will do, bye!" Miles said before closing the front door of their apartment.

"Bye-bye!" Aaron waves then slams his hands on the plastic try of his high chair, "CHECHECHE-LALALA-LUUU!" He likes to make loud sounds to hear himself.

"Yeah, Chhheee..." Hobie coos, he tries to finish his breakfast before Aaron did. The seven month old start throwing Cheerios on the floor, or screams out loud wanting to be in the living room with his toys and watch television.

Aaron looks at his dad giving his gummy smile with one tooth coming in from the top. Hobie chuckles seeing his boy's adorable smile, "You got your daddy's cuteness, lil A."

After breakfast, Hobie took his son to big on the play mat in the living room with all his toys laid out and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse playing on the flat screen tv. Normally, he was never into Disney for many reasons and one of them is being a hungry capitalistic greedy company. Over time, he saw these shows help his son being responsive, he'll give them a pass.

Aaron would shout at anything Mickey Mouse would ask. Hobie sits on the couch keeping an eye on his boy or be on phone to check on his latest concerts.

It's been five years since his band became popular among their subculture group, being a Punk band had a lot of risks. Risks of never being known or making money since today's age is all about pop. Somehow with a lot of hard work and luck, they were able to make it.

He's always blessed with the opportunities, and luck he gain from all of this. Especially when he be with Miles since high school, they had their ups and downs, a lot of arguments about the future involving in moving in together. Hobie had to get two jobs while working on his band, and trying to help pay rent while Miles was busy finishing up school and try to pay for his medication.

Those medication like hormonal injections can be pricey even with insurance. The two didn't have enough money to save for Miles top surgery, which had to be push back till they got their shit together.

After overcoming all that, they were able to have a steady flow, their jobs were easier. Hobie put all his focus on his music, while his Sunflower graduated with a BA in Marketing and Graphic Design. The two got married.

Miles always wanted to be a comic book artist and planned to start his career as soon as possible then he got pregnant. His focus was to put his dream on hold, and focus on being a Graphic design for Alchemax. Hobie told him, he can continue being a comic book artist and he will find a full time job while maintain his band. The punker had his own worries with his husband's pregnancy, and his mental health.

Miles never thought about birthing a child and said he wanted to adopt. With the pregnancy, Hobie was relieved his husband was fine through it all. Miles only wanted to work a steady secure job with their rent going up, and didn't want to risk it with a third member of the Morales family on the way.

In the end, Miles did draw on his free time here and there posting on his art page on social media for likes. The two were fine through these nine months, then their beautiful baby boy Aaron came into their life. Miles never been so happy to bring such a cute bounce ball of sunshine!

Then one day as the two dads watch their baby boy sleeping in his crib, Miles said, "I think I will wait on the top surgery..."

"Why?" Hobie asked.

"I dunno... um, I want to breastfeed him, and... i dunno maybe later we can have another one.... if that's okay." Miles gave a shy shrug, "I dunno... we can adopt, too. I would to adopt, but I don't mind getting pregnant again. Does that make me.... not a man?" He looks at his husband.

"Awe, luv. You can do whatever you feel it's right for you," He hugs his husband giving him a kiss on his forehead, "Gender is social construct. You can still be a man and get pregnant."

"Hmph, sounds too odd."

"Not to me. You are perfect and no matter what I always support you. There's nothing wrong in wanting to get pregnant or breastfeed if you feel you want to. I have no problems. I'm happy."

"Thank you... I guess, I'm also scared that maybe you want more kids from me, you know." Miles kisses his husband cheek, "I mean... honestly I want the top surgery but I want to at least breastfeed Aaron."

"There's formula, too."

"Will that make me a bad parent? A bad dad?"

"Heh, you know by "traditional" families, we're already bad." Hobie said with his head resting on his husband's neck, "If you want my opinion, I think you're a wonderful dad, Sunflower. You are simply amazing... watching Aaron sleep, making sure he's comfortable, feeding him. He will know he's loved by us, no matter what daddy is decides."

"Thank you, bae." Miles kisses his cheek, "I love you."

"I love you, too." They kiss and stood watching their new born sleeping away.

"DA-DA!" Aaron shouted breaking Hobie's thoughts.

"What is it, lil man?" Hobie asked seeing his seven month old crawling around throwing toys left and right, "Easy, Aaron. You're hurting your Elmo." Seeing the Elmo doll being mistreated by his son.

Aaron shows off his gummy smile with the shrill of laughter. "Oh, you like a little chaos, huh? Well then, I will teach you to be a fine Anarchist, son."

"Ahahaha," The baby drools before crawling to his Elmo to punch and nibble at.

"Whoa. Whoa! You just eat, don't eat Elmo." Hobie went to get his son.

"AHHHH!" Aaron whines putting up a fight with his dad.

"Haha, easy lad. You reminds a bit of me, got that little spunky attitude and wittiness. Shh, don't tell your daddy." Hobie chuckles having to let his boy sit on his lap. Aaron decides to tug on his dad's pink bathrobe. "Let me see what's on the latest youtube."

Hobie clicks to find a Live News of Spider-man fighting off a funky glitching Green Goblin. "What in the hell-" Aaron shouted, "Ah!" Seeing the scary villain roaming around Manhattan.

"Let me call your daddy to see if he's okay." The older punker tends to worry when things like this happen. He FaceTime his husband quickly being answered with his Miles' face.

"Bae?"

"Sunflower, your seeing this?"

"Yeah, everyone is standing by seeing if they're coming close to our area." Miles said being in the large office with the rest of his coworkers watching the live television. Everyone started to pack their things and the head lead of the department rushing over to watch.

"Everyone remain calm, they are in Manhattan still." The head of the department said as he looks worried at the news. "Fuck, we're gonna be behind."

Miles saw his baby boy looking at the television, "Awe, is Aaron doing okay?"

"Yeah, he's looking at Spider-man." Hobie said.

Then on the Live camera they caught a big portal opening up with a group of other Spider-men. Everyone gasps at this. Miles blink in shock, "Oh my god."

"Bloody hell?" Hobie asked out loud, "There's more than one Spider-man?"

Aaron's eyes widen at the colorful people in suits, then he wiggles around when Spider-man from his world kicks the Green Goblins' butt. "Oh! Da-da! Da-da!" He saw a Spider-man wearing similar punk aesthetics as his dad and got excited, "DADA. DADA! DADADADA!"

Miles giggles through FaceTime, "Bae, I think that one is you."

"That Spider-man got great taste, luv. I would totally rock that." Hobie chuckles. They watched the live and the funky Green Goblin threw a nasty bomb at the Spider-man in a punker outfit.

Then, a Spider-man dressed in black and red came in with an electric punch.

BAM!

Green Goblin fell over his jet slider. Another Spider-man that's huge and muscular grab the villain and wrapped it around with bright red webs. Everyone cheers seeing their Spider-man did most of the work and the help of another heroes.

Aaron became very emotional with the whole thing, his eyes gleam so bright and he started moving around. "DADADADA!" His chubby hand grab his dad's bottom lip to yank.

"Ow! No, Aaron. Don't do that. It hurts your dada." Hobie had to move his head back to get his son's hand from his lips. If he's not careful, Aaron will rip off his lip piercing.

Miles hums, "Remember he likes to grab your piercings, bae."

Just then Miles' boss started to talk, "Okay, everyone. Back to work, it looks like there's going to be some delays with projects seeing how parts of Manhattan took some damages. I'm going to make some calls. For now, back to work and finish what you can!"

Miles quickly heard his name being called, "Oh, bae, I gotta go. Bye love you!"

"Ah!" Aaron noticed his daddy on the phone.

"Love you, too, lil man!" Miles blew a kiss then he said, "Oh Hobie, can you make steak tonight?"

"Anything for you, luv!" Since Hobie is mostly a stay home dad, he does the cooking and the cleaning. When Miles started his career as a Graphic Designer, he build his way into becoming the breadwinner of the two.

Miles happily said, "Awe, thank you, bae. Okay, bye, I gotta go! Love you!" Hobie chuckles seeing his adorable husband quickly ending their FaceTime. Aaron stares at his dad giving a bit of side-eyes.

"What? Hey, you were busy watching those blokes in tights messing up Manhattan, son." Hobie snorted knowing his son probably wanted his daddy's attention.

Aaron merely turns his head to the television to see the Spider-men taking the villain away into that big orange portal. "DADA!"

"Hahaha, liking the colors, eh? I wonder where they are taking him." Unaware of a small chubby hand yanking his ear, "Ah, son. Stop. Don't make me put you in time-out."

Aaron tilted his head having that cute innocent look he got from his daddy, "Oh?"

Hobie sighs, "I spoiled you too much, lovely." His son giggles in response.

The two were hanging out together in the living room. Hobie took out his guitar to write some songs while keeping an eye on his son. Aaron would turn his head to his father's direction when he hears him singing. His voice is deep alluring like a Siren with a bit of rasp and rough when he gets into the intense part of the song.

Hobie caught his son giving a gummy smile hearing him sing, "You like that, eh?"

Aaron nibbles on his toy without saying anything else, he giggles again. His dad chuckles before picking him up to cuddle and kiss his cheeks. "You're so precious, lovely."

"AH!" Aaron enjoys his time with his dad, his hand would pat on his dad's cheeks being so intrigued by his sharp features unlike his daddy's face.

"Hahaha, careful. Don't pull my piercings." Hobie had to make sure his son's hand doesn't yank any of his piercings. Then his dark eyes saw it was time for his son's lunch. "Oh, let's make you a warm bottle and for nap time."

He carries his boy to go to the kitchen to warm a bottle for him. Aaron turns his head spotting his bottle, his honey-brown eyes lit up getting excited, "Ohh! DADADADADA!" He drools for his meal.

"Easy, little man. We gotta heat it up." Hobie laughs at his son wiggling around wanting his bottle. "You act like we don't feed you!"

"DADA!" Aaron shouted wanting his bottle.

The punker holds his son putting the bottle in a microwave to heat it up for a bit. When it was time to take it out, he first dap a bit of milk on the back of his hand to check if it's the right temperature. The droplets of breastmilk landed on his hand being warm, "Perfect." He gave the bottle to antsy son, who happily grabbed it to start drinking it.

Aaron's eyes closed with joy having his warm meal, all snug with his dad. Hobie went back to the couch, mid-way to the path he grabbed a baby blanket for burping his son.

After feeding time, Aaron was burped then he gave a small yawn being ready for his nap. His dad sung him a song, slowly putting him to sleep and place him in his crib.

The punker left the door slightly open just in case he hears him. The boy's crib placed in his master bedroom.

"Out like a light. Alright, time to work." Hobie decided to go back to writing his songs for a bit. He plans to start making dinner seeing his husband want some steak. "Hmmm, a lovely warm bed of rice and peas... maybe plantains?" He would sing a tune of his song while thinking about dinner.

Being a stayed home husband, he has a big responsibility of feeding his husband. "Mmm, hmmm-mmm, I should clean up a bit." Then he hums again and again, then mumble a sentence, "Oh, i got it!" He figured out a tone and started recording himself to remind himself for later. Then, he wrote a song out.

Once he finished, he quickly went into his bedroom to changed into a basic t-shirt, and short with a lazy pony-tail for his thick flat wicks. He glances at the crib to find his son still sleeping away, he peeks to find his little one snoozing away. "Such a tiny lad." He never thought he would have his own sprog with his beautiful Sunflower.

"I'm so blessed..."

Hobie truly is happy with the life he's living now. The tall punker decides to start cleaning the living room. Happily listening to his recent samples while picking up his son's toys, his play mat. With a grab of a broom, he started sweeping enjoying his noon.

Soon he started to get dinner ready, chopping some vegetables, pan fried some plantains and get the rice and peas in a pot. Of course, he always washes his vegetables and rice. Then he heard his son whining, "Coming!" He went over into his bedroom to find his son being wide awake. "Looks like it's the about time for you to wake up."

Sunflower was right. It's good to keep Aaron on a strict schedule, he is aware of when to wake up or sleep. The little boy rub his eyes then reaches his hands out for his dad. "Dada!"

"Hahaha, quick to get out of there, huh? I never fancy myself being trapped in one place, too." His dad chuckles as he went over to take his son out. "You wanna be free and roam the living room, eh?"

"DADA!" Aaron points out of the room, he lay his head on his dad's chest still being tired.

"Don't worry, Aaron. We'll play a bit of Bluey and you can play with your toys." Hobie set his son on the play mat with his toys and put Bluey on. His son's eyes quickly glue to the show and his toys.

Hobie went back to finish up cooking dinner, every now and then he glances on his son. The kitchen to the living room isn't far apart so it's easy to watch his son.

When he heard his son's voice, "What's wrong, A-man?" He went over to find his son wanting his attention.

Aaron whines to be picked up, "Ahh! Wahhh!"

"OKay. Okay! I'm here. Look, dinner is almost ready. We gotta wait for daddy to come home." Hobie carries his son to put his on a high chair, "Here, son. You can watch papa cook."

"Ah-ha!" Aaron laughs watching his dad.

It wasn't long before Miles came home being super exhausted, "Oh my god, today was insane!" He had his shoulder bag on, and hold a brown bag.

"Sunflower!" Hobie happily said while wearing a pink apron still cooking some steaks.

"DADA!" Aaron wave his hands being happy to spot his daddy.

"Ohhh, there's my little man." Miles set his things on the table, set his shoulder bag on his chair. Quickly removing his jacket, and loosen his tie to get comfortable. He went over to pick up his boy to shower him with kisses, "Mwah! Mwah! Mmm, ahh. Mmm. ahh!" He sniffs Aaron's baby scent then hugs him, he needed this. "OH I miss my little man!"

"What about me?" Hobie frowns being childish.

"You too, come here." Miles went over to kiss his husband's cheek, "Mmm, smells so good. You made fried plantains! Sweet!"

"Anything for you, Sunflower." Hobie kisses his husband's lips. "Freshen up, love. Dinner is ready."

"Alright," Miles happily said having to take his son with him, "Daddy had a busy day, Aaron. You should've seen me."

Hobie loves hearing his husband talking to their son. No matter how busy they were, or how exhausted, they always find a way to spend some time with their boy. The punker set up their plates, and small chopped food for their son to eat.

Miles came back wearing a loose shirt and shorts with slippers, he held his baby boy in his arms. "I'm starving, bae." He saw their dining table with plates of food, "Oh, thanks for serving me, mi amor. Mwah!" He kisses his husband's cheek, "Love you."

"Awe, Sunflower. Your welcome! I love making you happy." Hobie sat in his seat. He watches his husband put Aaron into his high chair, the tray had small pieces of food.

"Are you ready to try plantains, bebé?" Miles coos with his hand gently wiggle his son's foot.

Aaron giggles, chubby hands grab a piece of chopped long strip of steak then he nibbles it. "Wow, he just went for the steak." Miles giggles at his son's enjoyment with solid foods. "Soon we'll have to stop feeding him."

"And you can finally get your top surgery, luv." Hobie added, "Our insurance approved it, and we can afford to pay whatever is leftover."

Miles said, "Are you sure you'll be fine with this? I won't have to breastfeed anymore... and if we do plan to have another child?"

"I'm fine with it, luv. There's formula, it exists for a reason." Hobie points out, "I know how much you want this and I'm all in for it." His hand gripped onto his husband's hand, then lifts it to kiss his ring finger, "I marry you for your soul, Sunflower."

"God, how did I ever catch a man like you, Hobie." Miles smiles widely.

"Let's say you been smitten by my dashing good looks." Hobie teased.

His husband laughs before kissing his husband's cheek, "I say your goofy personality won me over."

"Pfft, goofy. Rubbish, luv. I'm always cool and flirtatious." Hobie scoffs.

Aaron made loud sounds with his hands grabbing the mush rice and peas, it's easier for him to eat, "Yeyeyeyeye!"

"Mmm, he's becoming quite the Brown, I would say." His daddy chimes.

"Good, he needs to be free spirited." Hobie happily said, "He'll be a fine anarchist, darling."

Aaron rub some mushed vegetables on his basic blue shirt while he chews his rice and peas. "Well, you're gonna have to clean up that mess, Mr. Anarchy." Miles hums at his husband.

"Oh, Aaron, lil man, you eat your veggies, luv. You don't-" Aaron throw some on his dad's faces while laughing out loud, "toss it..."

His husband giggles, "Okay. Time to be the strict daddy, now." He turns to his son being serious, "Aaron, no. You don't throw mushy peas at dad. Here, eat them."

Aaron frowns at his daddy who's wiping his face and the mushy vegetables on his clothes, "Come on, eat your mushy vegetables." Miles pretends to eat some, "See. Nom. Nom. Nom! Mmm, yummy."

"Dada!" Aaron shove vegetables in his mouth copying his daddy.

Hobie wipe off the mushy vegetable on his face, "Hah, funny how he listens to you."

"Just like you?" Miles happily eats while keeping an eye on his son eating, the same Hobie did.

"Touché." His husband shove rice into his mouth, dark eyes landed on a brown bag on the table. "Sunflower-" Aaron screams, "YAAAAA! DADA! DADA!" He reaches for Miles, "Dada!"

"Sorry, bae. I didn't hear you." Miles had his eyes on his son, and voice went baby talk, "Wut is it, bebé? You gotta eat. Yum-Yum for your tum-tum, my beautiful baby boy."

Aaron giggles loving the attention of his daddy before going back to eating. Hobie finally asked, "Sunflower, what's in the brown bag?"

"Oh, one of my co-workers gave me a burrito since I helped with one of his projects. It was a thank you gift." Miles shrugs it off, "It's carne asada. You can have it. I know you like working late at night writing songs or making music in your office."

"Really? Thanks, Sunflower. Now, I don't gotta make my sandwich."

"Good, because sometimes you love giving me mustard relish kisses at night."

"Don't forget grilled onions." Hobie chuckles, he did love kissing his husband at the middle of the night with his funky breathe from his pickled onion mustard sandwich with lots of ham and cheese. Sometimes he gotta get a bit high in his office to find inspiration, and a good munchie sandwich helps.

"And the salt vinegar chips too." Miles added.

"You know, you love it."

"I don't mind pecks on the lips but you love to tongue kiss me with that funky munchie breath." That made the punker burst out laughing, he knows it all too well. Miles slowly gotten use to it like cigarettes, but that doesn't mean he likes the taste.

"Sunflower, I promise. I will brush my teeth next time."

"I'm happy I'll be expecting a kiss of carne asada burrito and salt and vinegar chips breath." Miles chews a piece of his steak.

"I knew you love me," Hobie winks at him before taking a sip of his soda. His eyes landed on Aaron taking a sip of his sippy cup filled with a water down juice. "How's dinner?"

"Amazing. Mmm, so good. Steak is perfect, plantains- Ugh, I was craving these." Miles rolled his eyes from a great dinner, "Great job, bae."

This brought a joyful gleam onto his punker's face, the big smile and eyes filled with love made him so handsome. Miles knew Hobie had a beautiful smile when he actually smiles out of true happiness. It's nice to see. "Now, the main person you should be asking is our little man." Miles said while eating his meal.

Hobie saw Aaron already ate most of his food, "I think he loves it."

"He tore up that steak." Miles laughs at the empty spot where the strips of three steaks were gone. The soft plantains and rice are slowly being finished. "He's gonna be one hungry boy."

"And will be a tall one, too. Everyone in my family is tall." Hobie points out.

Miles rubs his chin, "He's gonna be so tall." The realization hit when he thought about clothes and shoes, "Oh man, we might need to be prepare for that. He needs to eat more protein, might need to get into sports and-" Hobie stops him, "Sunflower, easy. He's still a baby. Look at him enjoying his fried plantains."

"I'm sorry, bae. I know. I need to calm down but thinking about his future, ugh, I just want him to have everything." Miles cutely pouts.

"And he will. Right now, let's enjoy him tearing up those plantains." Hobie points out as Aaron mush the plantains with his hand and shove some into his mouth.

"So cute. I should take a photo for mamí." Miles went in his pocket to grab his smartphone taking pictures of Aaron eating plantains to sent to his parents and his sister. "Awe, Caribbean genes running strong."

"He knows what's up." Hobie said with a grin on his face.

The family finish up their dinner, leading to Miles giving Aaron a bath. The little boy loves splashing water, and throwing his toys around being amazed by the water movements. His daddy slowly pour warm water on his bald head, he made sounds, "DADADADA!"

"Yes, honey. I'm here washing you up." Miles cooed while gently using a washcloth on his son's backs.

Aaron being busy holding a toy plastic star being amazed by the roundness and bright yellow. When he's all washed up, his daddy took his to the bedroom to get him all smothered in lotion and baby powder. Aaron yawns being bored, wiggling his toes he became fussy. "We're almost done, bebé. We gotta put your onesie one." His daddy holds onto a mint onesie trying to put it on his son.

"Ahh!" Aaron wiggles making the process so much difficult.

In the end, Miles got his baby in his cute mint onesie, "Whew, you put up a fight, A-man." He picks up his baby, "Come on, let's have you watch a bit of television with papí, while I go shower."

"Mmm?" Aaron turns his head back at his daddy, "Dada?"

"Yeah, dada. He's gonna be with you a bit." His daddy said to him while giving him a kiss on his round cheeks.

Hobie finished cleaning up the kitchen and put any leftovers away. The punker held his son, "Come on, lad. Let your daddy shower, we'll play a bit and watch some telly." He kisses his son's forehead.

"Dada!" Aaron looks up at his dad giving a gummy smile, "Dada."

Miles softly smile at the two before heading for a quick shower. The two boys stayed in the living watching a movie, Hobie clicked whatever that was kid friendly to watch which so happened to be Shrek. Hobie and Aaron had their whole attention glue to the movie, they weren't aware of Miles coming out of the bedroom in a fresh shirt and blue pajamas.

His hair being protective by his black bonnet, "You guys, watching Shrek?" He asked.

The two grunts, "Uh..." It sounded like a yes.

This made Miles giggles, "Okay, scoot over. I wanna watch, too." He sat next to his husband, he decided to take a hold of his son seeing how Hobie watched over him. "Come to daddy, mijo."

"Uh..." Aaron grunts again with his eyes completely on Shrek.

Hobie stood up to get his burrito being hungry, "Pause it, Sunflower. I want a snack."

"Okay." When Miles paused the video, Aaron quickly turns his head to his daddy being surprised. "You gotta wait for papí."

"YAYAYAYA!" Aaron protest.

"Your dad wants to watch Shrek, too." Miles tries to hold his laughter at his son, he didn't expect him to have an attitude over Shrek.

Aaron frowns having to mumble sounds of disapproval. Then, his dad came back with a plate with burrito and chips. Miles looks at the burrito, "Bae, you didn't heat it up?"

"Nah, it's fine."

"If you say so." Miles knows his man has a strong stomach, can handle anything. Aaron saw the burrito and started drooling, it looks so delicious to him.

Hobie wasn't paying attention having his plate of snacks on his lap, he didn't see those chubby brown hands grabbing the burrito. Miles noticed his son leaning over his husband's side, "Aaron, you're gonna fall."

There was Aaron holding the burrito with his hands, and his gummy mouth nibbling on the corner. "Bae!" Hobie turns his head hearing his Sunflower laughing with a loud gasp. That's when the punker noticed his son eating the burrito.

"Oh what da? Lil man, how did you?" He was too stunned to speak.

Aaron chewing a bit of the tortilla flour, "You hungry, Aaron? You had a full meal." Meal saw the way his son kept trying to bite a bigger piece, "You are too funny, mijo." He quickly pulls the burrito away from his son's hands so he can chew the tortilla in his mouth.

Hobie took his burrito, cracking up at his son, "It's not spicy? I could give him a piece?"

"I think there's green salsa in it." Miles fixed his son's position in a more comfortable sitting position on his lap. Aaron being busy chewing on the flour tortilla enjoying it.

"OH really?" Hobie took a big bite from the burrito to see, he didn't mind sharing his food with his boy.

Aaron's eyes widen in shock at his dad's big bite. Miles laughs, "What's wrong, bebé? Dada took your burrito?"

Hobie chews with an amusing smile on his face, "Oh wow, luv. That's spicy. Sorry, lil man. You can't have it."

"AHHH!" Aaron protested with his hand waving up and down.

"Sorry, mi vida. It's too spicy for you. You got lucky you bit the flour tortilla."

"DADA!"

"I'll get him some yogurt chips." Miles carries his son to go to the kitchen to get strawberry yogurt chips for babies. This made Aaron super happy to see one of his favorite snacks. The two went back on the couch to find Hobie already finishing up his burrito.

"Damn, bae. You gotta eat slow. Two bites?" Miles asked being concerned.

"It's so good... so spicy." HIs husband chews before swallowed, "Mm, where did your coworker get this? It's nice."

"I'll ask him." Miles lay his head on his husband's shoulder while Aaron watches Shrek while eating his yogurt chips. "Mm, perfect."

"Perfect?" Hobie asked.

"Everything is perfect." Miles said.

Hobie gave a peck to his husband's lips, "How about now?"

"Still perfect." Miles giggles as his husband presses his forehead against his, they stare into each other eyes before another kiss. Aaron went in the middle wanting their attention and his dads kiss his cheeks. "Love you."

"DADA!" Aaron show off his gummy smile being happy getting love from his parents. The three enjoy watching the movie knowing today has been a really good day.

Meanwhile,

"Oi, Sunflower. Wanna check if there's variants of us here?" Spider-Punk 138 asked his boyfriend.

"I don't think they're Spider-heroes. We just met Spider-man of this world." Miles 1610 follows his boyfriend to keep an eye at the area. They saw how much this world's Spider-man took the most damage from that anomaly.

"So? You don't think we're together?" Hobie asked.

"No- I mean, yes! I just think they are probably busy with their lives." Miles 1610 shy said.

"You think we're not together in this world?" Hobie asked with his face mask in Miles' vision.

"I dunno... maybe-" His boyfriend took out his Gizmo having Lyla sent a track to their variants on this world, "Sunflower, I'm surprised at you. Look, both of our variants are in the same path. Come on, let's go see them."

Miles pouts, "Sorry, bae. It's just the last time we saw our variants, they were living different lives. Your variant being a famous singer while mine became a popular comic book artist. I saw how upset you were when my variant dating Ganke's variant."

"Oh, luv. Don't worry about it. I was only upset because of how good our variants' would've been together. It is what it is." Hobie places an arm around his boyfriend's shoulder. The two follow the directions, it was dark and they were swinging through the city.

When they arrived at an apartment building, they saw the direction dot on the gizmo showing the floor. "Oh, they're up there! Come on, Sunflower."

"Wait, bae." Miles saw his boyfriend being excited to see their variants. It's like a fun treasure hunt for him. The two got close by one of the windows, their bodies latched onto the brick walls as the peak through the window.

To their surprise they saw a Miles variant sitting with a Hobie variant while holding a baby boy. "Whoa, they have a kid together?" Miles 1610 asked Hobie.

"And happily married." Hobie grins widely spotting their silver band rings.

Miles 1610 blinks being surprised. "Oh wow. I wonder if they adopted the kid?" He was sure this wasn't an A/B/O-verse (Alpha,Beta, Omega-verse) earth.

Lyla spoke, "Miles of this world is a transman. They have a healthy baby boy name Aaron. You can look at the file if you want more information about the two."

Miles 1610 and Hobie 138b looks at Miles 1610's gizmo, before going back to the window. They saw the baby boy looking over them and pointed, "DADA!"

"What is it?" Miles coos as the two parents look over at the window spotting the dark sky.

Hobie stood from his couch, "Ah, the window is open. I air out the living room, almost forgot to close it." He went over to close the window, yet his gut told him to look outside for some odd reason.

"What is it?" Miles' voice rings his husband's ear.

Miles 1610 and Hobie 138b were above the window noticing the Hobie variant stick his head out before going back in, "Nothin'. I thought I saw someone?"

"It was probably Spider-man," The Miles variant had a rasp voice almost scratchy with a hint of a feminine voice, it's so subtle that a person really has to hear it. "He loves swinging all over New York, right lil A."

"Ah! DADADADADA!" The baby boy shouted out loud.

Miles laughs, "Maybe he saw Spider-man."

"Wow, he's fast." Hobie went back to his spot with his husband, they hold hands while they kept watching the movie.

"Well, he is a superhero." Miles said.

"Pfft, a hero... that's the most narcissistic shit to say." His husband about to go on a rant. "How can he call himself a hero! Using that term-" Miles giggles, "Bae, I think everyone calls him that. I don't think Spider-man call himself a superhero, right Aaron."

"Ah!" Aaron lay his head on his daddy's chest feeling his eyes tired. "Uh oh, looks like somebody is sw-eepy!" His daddy noticed.

"It is getting close to his bed time, Sunflower. Perhaps a warm bottle before bed?" Hobie saw the time on his smartphone.

"Yeah, maybe a warm bottle while he finished the movie, he seems to fight his sleep." His husband giggles the way Aaron yawns and kept his eyes focus on the television.

"I'll get it ready." Hobie said.

"Thank you, bae." Miles watch his man going to the kitchen while he plays with son, "Dada is gonna give you a warm tasty body, Aaron. You are a hungry boy, huh. Your gonna be big just like your dada!"

"And adorable like your daddy." Hobie calls out making Miles giggles.

Aaron stares at them with his gummy smile. "Ah-ha!" He got kisses on his cheek by his daddy.

"Mwah, love you, mi bebé." His daddy coddles him. "Oh, imagine if our baby spoke like you, bae."

"Huh?" Hobie chuckles, "He would have to live in England."

"It'll be so cute."

The two being unaware of their Spider-man variants hearing them from the outside. Spider-punk's body turned full pink hearing Miles variant being so darn adorable. Miles 1610 smiles under his mask hearing about the two talking, "We should go, bae. Let's leave them alone."

"Right, luv." His boyfriend happily follows him. The two went onto of the building for a break until Spider-punk held his Miles' hand, "Sunflower."

"Yeah?"

"I want you to know the main reason I get so giddy with our other variants," He pulls his Sunflower into his arms, "is because I get excited for our chance. I want us to get married have a couple of sprogs around, I just know your all I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"Awe, bae. I'm excited for our future too." Miles wraps his arms around his punker's neck, "I can't wait when it's our turn."

"You make be such a happy bloke." Hobie kisses his Sunflower with his Spider-man mask on. The two happily kiss before going back to HQ.

Okay, I finally watched today's episode and... Yeah, I'm an emotional mess right now 😭😭😭

First of all, this ending? That was so freaking unhinged, I know what is going to happen and my face was just 😮

(and yes, Kisaki, he's going to keep risking his life and he doesn't give a shit bc is not the first time that you point a gun on him. Or that he gets shot. Not even the second time 😭😭)

Also, Chifuyu made me cry (a lot), I was tearing up at the same time that him here!

But, of course, Takemitchy reaction only made everything more emotional!

I love unhinged Takemitchy so much! He had enough and it's completly not afraid because... "What? I'm gonna die? Again? Uuuh" and he comes from Manila, so... Nothing to lose here.

(Even if I die, Toma will not lose... If I'm still standing, Toman will not lose 😭)

What else? Oh yeah, Sanzu just being there serving looks and being a hater with a small waist, yey!

(He really is Sanzu "I don't give a shit about anything if Mikey is not here I'm not even gonna talk" Haruchiyo 🤣)

What else? Oh, of course... LIDEN FILMS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, GOING FOR OUR PAIN LIKE THIS, WHY?

(I did my math and episode 11 is the one that will break me and Kakucho forever, I'm so not ready 😭)

(Kakucho autistic blank face over here... Also, the only one with a blank face when Angry started to beat up everyone. I love you, Kakucho!)

(Seriously, Izana with Karen? This is so not okay! Argehehjrjrjrrkk! And how is this from Kakucho's pov? 🤔)

Also, we had Kakucho being amazing and saving Mucho and Takemitchy (not afraid of danger), being a good sumi servant and promising to Izana that he can punish him later, showing how strong he actually is and shinning during the whole episode in general 💜

And of course, proving that he can't kill Takemichi (not yet at least, he's still not a murderer 😭), what pissed off Izana a little bit, oops xD

Once again, liden films putting the budged on Izana's eyelashes (not complaining at all). Why does he looks so ethereal and so gorgeous talking about murder? 🥺🥺

(This eyelashes are going to be my ruin! And I love it the s62 generation moment, all looking at Mucho with hi new uniform, yeeey!)

Yes, I know a lot more things happened. We had the blue oger what gave me so much hype! Ran being so worried for Rindou was actually really cute 💜

But the second half of the episode broke me, so I can't talk about the hype because I'm just in Tenjiku's pain, sorry 😭😭

Anyone else scared and depressed for what is coming? Yeeeey, Tenjiku animated! 🎉🎉🎴🎴😭😭😭

Pt 9

twenty years ago

"I'm sorry, what?" The nineteen year old looked confused by the demand. Sunny had only been at the job for five years, she still had so much to learn, but this customer came in, one she had seen frequently in the last year, making adjustments to their clothes when it didn't feel right in the arms, the chest, hips, and length.

"I said marry me, shop girl." The cigar smoke was awful, lingering in the air as it dissipated. He was grinning at her.

"M-Mister Crocodile, I can't. I'm only half way through my apprenticeship and... and we don't know each other very well." Sunny tried to reason with him. Why would he want to marry her? "Besides, um, I'm not... ready for marriage."

He chuckled, reaching across the counter to touch her cheek gently; she shuddered, his touch was dry and coarse, like sandpaper against her skin. "It's not in your best interest to say no to me, girl, not when I can show you everything in the world, all the riches you could ever want, the prettiest clothes you could ever wear."

"I don't-"

"Saying no to me means you care little for your friends and family, you know. It won't be hard to destroy their livelihoods in an instant." He continued, tilting her head to look up at him. He was so much taller than her, larger even, that she was scared. Was he threatening Miss Pins and her parents? Why? Why did he want her out of countless others?

"But-"

"Just say yes."

Sunny's eyes widened. She didn't know or understand what this man could be capable of but she feared him. She couldn't risk her family being hurt or her boss. She didn't want to die either, not yet.

"Promise?" She asked as he studied her face, raising an eyebrow at her question. "Promise... you won't hurt me o-or my family. And... and I'll marry you."

His face split into a grin. "Good girl. I'll make sure you're happy."

Sunny didn't understand where they were. A man taller than her husband greeted them as they arrived on a new island, calling him "Croc-boy" which Sunny found kind of funny. They'd been married three months now and while he would call her darling, she hadn't thought of a pet name for him yet. Nothing seemed to work for him.

"Who's this sweet young thing?" The man asked Crocodile, giving Sunny a look over. She stood beside her husband, trying not to stare up at either of them. She felt so small beside them even without the height difference.

"My wife." Crocodile said as the three started walking along. "I decided to get married before coming to you."

"Hello! I'm Sunny." She said, not wanting to be rude. "I, um, like your outfit."

The outfit being a one piece leotard with very little front, showing off his chest and stomach. Despite working with clothing, Sunny wasn't quite used to seeing someone that exposed but she shook it off. Her parents and boss always taught her not to judge someone's clothes or how they presented themselves.

"She's cute." He chuckled. "My dear, I am Emporio Ivankov, but you can call me Iva if you please." He didn't hesitate in pulling Sunny away from her husband, having her walk beside her with Crocodile behind. "So, he's finally settling down. I hope he's treating you well."

"He... is." She said, glancing back at him. "Um, he's kind to me. I appreciate it." She looked back up at Iva. "Why are we here?"

"Oh, he didn't tell you?" Iva hummed softly. "Figures he wouldn't, but won't worry about it. You'll only be here a few weeks and then you can continue on your way."

~

A few weeks of Sunny staying by Crocodile, making sure he ate while checking his bandages with Iva. The marks on the side of his body looked fine, they healed quickly, but the ones on his chest would take longer, according to Iva. He couldn't use his abilities to take care of that.

Sunny didn't ask questions at first. Her husband wouldn't answer them anyway, but when she was making lunch for him, she finally had to ask Iva.

"I don't understand what you did or what happened."

"Oh, honey, your husband just wanted to be himself, that's all." Iva told her as Sunny put the bowl of soup on a tray. He looked her over again, a grin on his large face. "You really don't know your husband, do you?"

"No, not really." Sunny sighed. "I don't know if I even want to."

~

Sunny only saw her husband naked once before his visit with Iva. It was the only time he seemed uncomfortable around her, his unwanted body exposed to her. She was kind, not saying anything as she kissed him, unsure of what to do, but she told him she thought he looked so handsome, that his body was beautiful, being mindful where she touched him. She meant it. Sunny never wanted someone to feel uncomfortable around her.

After the surgery, however, he didn't have any problems with nudity around her. He seemed happier, more relaxed when he undressed around her, smirking at the way she stared at him as her cheeks reddened.

He was gentle with her the first time, knowing he was much larger than her, not wanting to hurt her or make it a horrible experience. It was a uncomfortable for Sunny but only because she didn't now what she needed to do for him. He insisted she just needed to let him do everything and that she just needed to enjoy herself.

~

She was allowed to visit her parents a few times. It was awkward introducing her husband to them. He really didn't care to meet them but he put up a front of loving husband, gifting them jewels, spices, and other things from around the world.

Her parents weren't stupid but Sunny insisted she was fine and that she was happy with him. He took good care of her and loved her, never raised his voice at her or threatened to hurt her. Everything was fine.

~

She didn't like Alabasta. It was too hot, dry, and she hated spending most of her time at home. Sometimes her husband would bring her to his casino, and sometimes she'd put on different clothes and sneak out to walk around the town but it wasn't often.

When that boy in the straw hat showed up and defeated her husband, allowing him to be arrested by the Marines, she finally felt free, even after interrogation after interrogation, she insisted she knew nothing, that she thought her husband just ran a casino and everything, she had no understanding of what he had been up to or what Baroque Works even was.

Which was a lie, Sunny knew more than others thought. She had listened in on some of his conversations when she'd bring him lunch and he'd hold her in his lap, giving her a kiss on the cheek while having a meeting over a transponder snail or in front of others. They didn't make any comments about his wife. They knew better.

~

Her freedom didn't last long. He managed to track her down in a little village far from Impel Down. She wasn't sure how he did, but seeing him again after time apart was heartbreaking. She didn't want to return to him but he maintained his original threat when they got married: he would never hurt her but the same couldn't be said for her family.

~

"I'm sorry, a clown owns you money?" Sunny thought that was the funniest sounding sentence to her and she snorted. "Why did you loan him money in the first place?"

"There was promise of repayment." Her husband replied, stubbing out his cigar on his plate. She had made him breakfast, one of the few things she enjoyed doing for him. She took a sip of her coffee and frowned.

"Huh." She grinned. "Good luck getting it back. Maybe he spent it all on peanuts for an elephant or something."

"I don't see how this is amusing, darling."

"It's not, really, but the idea of a clown owing you money is funny to me." She shrugged. "Have you talked to him about getting it back?"

"Not yet." He sighed. Sunny nodded and set her coffee cup down, sitting up in her seat.

"Can I go talk to him?"

Crocodile looked at her, raising an eyebrow. "Why would you want to?"

"Something to do." She shrugged again. "I'll talk to him and see if we can come up with an agreement about paying you back in a timely fashion, how does that sound?"

"We'll talk about after lunch." He said as he got up. "I have things to tend to."
